She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 127 - KYLE\'S HAPPINESS

"So, how did you end up knowing their affairs?" Cayenne asked Luiz who was busy sipping on his drink, unbothered.

He swallowed what\'s inside his mouth before speaking in nonchalance. "The two of them were very close ever since Kath transferred school in high school. When they chose their course in college, she took whatever Kyle wanted and she studied hard to go to the same school as him."

"And what was that last chance you\'re talking about earlier?"

"Oh! That?" Luiz grinned.? "I lied."

"You lied?"

"Well, part of it was a lie but one part was true. It\'s true that Kath had been thinking up of giving up on Kyle. She asked me to create a chance for them but if Kyle won\'t do anything for their relationship to progress, she\'d give up. But I lied about her leaving to different city."

"What a cheeky brat." Stefan mumbled with a chuckle.

Luiz just smiled without saying anything. He just went back on drinking his Frappuccino.

"What are you thinking?" Stefan asked Cayenne who suddenly turned silent beside him. Luiz also raised his head to see his sister who was looking into space. "Hey." Stefan pinched her cheeks to get her back to reality.

"What is it?" Cayenne asked him with a deep frown. "My face hurts."

Stefan let go of her and caressed her face. "I\'m sorry. I was asking what were you thinking about. You were staring into space and didn\'t respond to me."

"Oh." Cayenne mumbled softly as she tried to get back on track with her thoughts. "I was just thinking of talking to Kyle later."

"Are you planning to scold him?" Luiz asked.

"No, I won\'t. I\'ll just tell him something." Luiz nodded and kept quiet. The event today was also an experiment that he wanted to see. It will serve as an example if ever he finds someone he likes in the future. As of now, he\'ll just focus on his study.

Stefan didn\'t dwell on this topic as well. It\'s not his private matter and Kyle is Cayenne\'s brother. She\'s got the right to talk to him but he doesn\'t.

After resting for almost an hour, the three of them looked for a restaurant to buy takeout for dinner. Stefan paid for the food once again even after Cayenne insisted to pay for it.

While the three of them were on their way home, Kyle was sitting on a bench at the nearest park with Kath. They were silent like a couple having a fight. Even the people who passed by them couldn\'t help but look at them with a frown. Some women didn\'t care that he\'s sitting with a girl, they took pictures of him and posted it on their social media accounts.

Because Kyle was particularly attractive today with his new clothes, he looked like a model of some magazine. And it won\'t take long for him to become a model in a reality. But that\'s a story for later.

He was sitting with his hands clasped together while looking on the ground. He was too nervous to look at her. When he stopped her from boarding a taxi, all he could think of was to stop her and have a proper conversation. Now, he was too nervous with her beside him.

"I heard that you\'re leaving." Kyle started with a soft voice.

"Who told you that?"

"Luiz."

Kath gritted her teeth to prevent herself from blurting out that his brother was actually lying to him. But she didn\'t have the heart to expose him after he helped her. With no other choice, she bit the bullet and go with the flow. "I was thinking of leaving. Do you want me to leave?"

"No." Kyle replied instantly. "I don\'t want you to leave. I thought your family wanted to settle down here."

"Yeah. I was thinking of moving without my family." Kath responded then toughened up herself to know more. "Why don\'t you want me to leave?"

"Do you remember the first time you transferred school in our high school?"

"Hn. I was told to sit beside you and I shared all textbooks with you all throughout the day. You even bought a milk drink for me, saying it was a welcoming drink."

"Yeah. With so many transfer students to our class every year, you\'re the only one I gave a welcoming drink. Do you get what I mean?"

Kath played dumb as she suppressed her bubbling happiness. "I don\'t understand what you mean. I\'m not as smart as you."

Kyle took a deep breath and shifted his body so that he\'d be sitting up straight to see her face. "I like you. I like you for 3 years now."

"I like you, too. I like you ever since I received that cartoon of milk drink. Would you believe me if I tell you that I still keep it?"

"Really?"

"Yeah. I was so happy that day and ended up bringing it at home."

The two of them looked at each other and after few seconds, they burst out into laughter. "I can\'t believe you\'re this silly." Kyle muttered while reaching out his hand to rub the girl\'s head.? "Now that you know my feelings, will you feel awkward around me?"

"How can that be? I like you, too. So, the feeling is mutual."

Kyle pursed his lips and had a serious expression on his face. "My \'like\' is different. This like is just few steps from love. And I don\'t like you as a friend. It\'s more than that."

"I know. Will I have the courage to sit here with you knowing what you\'ll say?" Kath smiled and took hold of his hand. She had the same serious expression on her face, mustering all the courage she had in her heart. "I like you from the moment I laid eyes on you. If not, do you think I\'ll take up the same course as you? Do you think I\'ll study hard to go to the same university as you?"

"So, does this mean, we\'re going to officially date?"

"Uhm." Kath was still hesitant. Although she likes him, she needed to introduce him to her family. "I would very much go out with you. However, I made a promise to my family that I\'d introduce the man I love to them."

"I don\'t see any problem with that. It\'s not like I\'m doing anything bad towards you."

"You\'re willing to meet them?"

"Hn. Whenever you\'re ready."

Kath couldn\'t contain her happiness anymore and hugged him. "I\'m so happy." She mumbled with wide grin.

Kyle also returned the hug and wrapped his hand around her. "I\'m glad everything\'s fine between us."

"Hn."

"I\'ll introduce you to my family, too."

"Eh?" Kath pulled away from him with a nervous expression. "Will they be fine with me?"

"Hn. I\'m sure they\'re okay with you. I can tell that my sister likes you, too"
