When Mirabel went back to the sitting room, Kyle was still wondering why she had not stopped her games. It seemed to him like she didn’t recognize him. He had changed over the years and was even more handsome as well.“I just put a call through, she is almost home.” Mirabel said, with a slight smile.“What can I offer you? Cold juice? Water?” She asked, acting nice.“ I’m fine this way, thank you.” Kyle said, putting up a smile too.“Alright, if you say so.” She said, then sat down at the coach, looking at him with a smile.“So, what’s your name again and if we were to be candid, it’s weird that as a colleague, you came over to her house at this time to tell her about it, when we have phones to make things like this easier.” Mirabel asked, looking at Kyle suspiciously.“Actually, I am her boyfriend.” Kyle said, with a slight smile.He and Mira had not made anything official yet, but he intentionally claimed her, probably it would be as he wanted.“Whoa… She never told me anything abou
“ To be honest, I saw your message and I was about replying until something happened and I will explain it all from the beginning.” Mirabel said, fiddling with her fingers.“Alright, I am listening.” Kyle responded, nodding his head,“Okay, so you know Andrew at work right? . He kind of asked me out and I didn’t give him a final reply yet, as that was what he wanted…”“Wait, someone already asked you out?” Kyle asked in surprise.“Yes.” Mira replied, watching his face to be certain of his expression.“Alright, I’m all ears.”“So, we were meant to meet up tonight, but I totally forgot since you offered me a ride and when I remembered, I was told he was rushed to the hospital.”Mira narrated all that happened earlier and how she wasn’t able to reply him, even as Kyle interrupted with questions at intervals.“So, your answer to him was a no, right?” Kyle asked, grinning.Mira blushed when she saw him grinning. She was happy that he had not doubted or misunderstood her in any way.“Yes. I
I’m glad you aren’t.” Mira responded, pinning her hair to the back of her ear.~They had talked for a while before going back to the office to eat or do any other thing. Although, the conversation seemed platonic at some point, but it was still obvious in some words he said, that he was still very much interested and he sounded like he was still going to make many more attempts.After work that day, Mira went home in excitement and unfortunately, Mirabel was around and was with Brandon.“Brandon? You came today? After all these while.” She rolled her eyes as she joined them in the sitting room.Afterall since she'd decided to play dumb about Brandon being a cheat, she had to act the part as an excited sister-in-law, right? “You do not have to be annoyed. I am so sorry, it has been work taking all my time, but I am here now.” Brandon apologized sincerely, with his palms together that Mira nearly gagged.“It’s fine. You are forgiven.” Mira said, with her eyelids closed in pride. “Mir
Mira was uncomfortable with what Andrew had asked for. She didn’t like the idea of allowing him to give her a ride home as she didn’t want anything that could cause a misunderstanding between her and Kyle.“I’m sorry, I’ll prefer to walk back home on my own.” She said as she tried to avoid eye contact with Andrew.“Why? Is it because you are still feeling weird about the rejection stuff? Or you feel that won’t be a good idea, since you want me to look somewhere else.” He asked as he tried to make eye contact with her.“No, you do not have to think far about this. I just do not need a ride. Try to understand this, Andrew.” Mira said, looking a bit frustrated as she finally looked into his eyes.“I just want to be certain that I have not lost points or make you feel like you do not want to be my friend anymore because of what happened between us.” Andrew said, peering into her eyes like a lost puppy.“No, that’s not how it is. You are still a friend to me. A good friend.” Mira assured a
As Kyle got to where she was and tried to make her stand, she started laughing and then she clutched her arms around him. “Gotcha!” She giggled, feeling happy that she was able to get him. “So, you tricked me. But that’s cheating.” He said as he stood up. Mira laughed the more. “All you said was to catch you if I can and I can use any method to catch you, since there were no rules, so it isn’t cheating.” Mira closed her eyes in pride and feeling victorious. Kyle laughed at how Mira had outwitted him in the least way he expected. ~ An hour later, they left the beach and went to a street, wearing hoodies, so they won’t be recognized. They ate street food which was really delicious. They also went to a game hub to play games. Mira was happy that she had fun, not just with anyone, but with someone that she had crushed on for years. When it was evening, they both went to a river bank and they had removed their hoodies as no one would see them clearly in the night. The breeze caressed
Mira woke up, she didn't know when she slept off last night. She was really exhausted and when she picked up her phone, she saw a message which was from Kyle, which read:"I slept off yesterday and that's why you didn't see a reply from me. Good morning, sunshine. I am certain that you are awake by now, because I can feel the warm sunlight reaching me over here. Have a nice day, sweetheart."Mira blushed after reading the message. She didn't check any other message because she had seen the only message which turned her whole day into a beautiful thing. It was a really nice thing. Mira went to the bathroom to have her bath, which she took time there, then she went downstairs to watch TV or do anything else to make her day even more fun."How was your night, Mira?" Mirabel asked, from the kitchen."It is one of the best nights I've ever had in life." Mira smiled as she twirled and sat on the couch like a princess."I thought as much. When I checked up on you, you were sleeping soundly."
"What's going on?" Mirabel asked out of concern as she saw the way Mira was looking at her phone."I think something is wrong, Mirabel." Mira said, trying to calm down, hoping she wasn't in great trouble."What's wrong, Mira?" Mirabel continued to ask, worrying that something was really wrong.Mira checked online and screamed as she saw a message sent to her by one of the people she knew. It was a screenshot of an article about her and Kyle. The person didn't screenshot all, so Mira immediately checked online to confirm if it really was a real article that was posted online."Check the internet, Mirabel. I do not understand what I am seeing right now." Mira said, with her hands which were filled with cold sweats.Mirabel gasped as she saw the news. An article about going on a date with Kyle was all over the internet and was even trending. Many comments were there, including hate comments that were directed at her."What the hell? How did this get to the public?" Mirabel exclaimed, loo
Kyle felt happy with the way things went, last night and when he woke up this morning, he replied Mira's message."What a good day to start work." Kyle said as he stretched, happily.He went to the bathroom and had his bath, then went downstairs to eat breakfast. He nodded his head in satisfaction as he ate the meal. Because he was having a good start for the day, everything seemed so nice to him. If he was given a meal which wasn't really delicious, to him, it was going to be delicious.Then he checked his phone while eating to see if Mira had replied him."Why hasn't she replied me? She ought to have woken up, since it is a work day. Or she is still busy, preparing for work?" He assumed, then dropped his phone to finish up his food.After he was done with eating, he entered his car and checked his phone, but still no reply from Mira."Now, she ought to have seen it. Or would it be cool if I went to her house and pick her up? She might have gone to the office." Kyle slammed his wrist
