Chapter 7
Kyler Pov
"I thought my son wouldn't take you with him anymore." Mommy said while eating "You said he was going to have dinner here, so he came with me." I said nothing.
"It is necessary for him to come here so that I can get to know him better, and you should bring him every day."
"Mommy—."
"That's what I told my boyfriend here, he should bring me here everyday, right baby?" Shiela said like a child and she clung to me and she leaned on me. By doing this, he really made my mother believe.
"What did I miss?"
Mommy stood up when my father came.
"We have a visitor." He said and sat in his chair. I can't read any emotion in him "Hi uncle, I'm Shiela. I'm Kyler girlfriend." He greeted dad, he stood up and approached my father. I wanted to stop him but I couldn't.
Wrong move!
"Call me Governor or sir, don't call me uncle because I don't know you. We are not even close." Daddy said coldly so Shiela couldn't continue kissing him.
"Darcy that's harsh. This girl is your son's girlfriend." Mom said.
"Am I asking?" My dad asked.
I was shocked when he looked at me.
"We have something to talk about, don't we? You should finish your studies before you go to work with the girls." It said. "I want you to follow my steps, don't you? I'll agree to marry you, just don't bring me home." It said.
I didn't speak anymore. If I spoke, he might have ordered me. My dad is strict, combative, but kind, but he's just getting along with someone.
"What's your name?" My dad asked.
"Wait..." Shiela said to dad and chewed what she was eating. He drank first and faced his father. "My name is Shiela Arevalo, daughter of Perla and Yno Arevalo. We own—."
"I'm just asking your name. I'm not asking your background."
"Oh okay. Let's eat." Shiela said with a smile.
I closed my eyes.
"What I hate the most is disrespect." Daddy said shaking his head. Shiela didn't hear that because she continued eating I thought that after eating, Shiela would go home, but no, she was still talking to mommy. Dad came up looking like his night was ruined.
"It's already late mommy. He has to go home." I insert.
"By the way, take him Kyler. No one will pick him up.
"Yeah, I'll wait for you outside." I said and went out. I got into the car. It immediately followed. I rolled down the window to call him because he was just standing there. "What are you waiting for, get in."
"Aren't you going to get down there? Aren't you going to open the door for me and help me get in?"
What the! Is it lame?
"I'm not in the mood Shiela, so get in." I said seriously, he let out a gasp and slammed the door open.
"You're not sweet as a boyfriend." He said with a frown.
"First of all I'm not your boyfriend Shiela."
"What's not a boyfriend? Take note Kyler we're lovers."
"Only in front of my mommy because you made her believe us."
"Do not you like?"
"I'm sorry to say this but I don't love you Shiela, we're just friends." I said.
"Hey, it's as if I'm going to believe you. You just can't admit that you love me."
"Shiela I'm telling the truth. I'm in love with someone else, it's not you."
She stopped.
It took a long time before he spoke.
"Take me, and I'll forget what you said because I don't believe it. I know you love me, I can feel it. So drive Kyler, maybe mommy will scold me."
"No matter what you do, I consider you a friend and a brother. I can't repay your love for me. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I know you're just kidding. You can't fool me Kyler." He said with a smile.
My goodness!
I can't believe this woman.
I smiled at Troy when he entered the billiard room.
"Where's Ken?" He asked.
"I don't know, I used to be your sister maybe?"
"Fuck that man"
"He must be serious about your brother."
"Well it should be, if he cheated on my brother, I don't know what I would do with him." He said that soon we started playing. Besides basketball, billiards is also one of our hobbies.
"Mikayla bashed me."
I stopped.
"He says he wants someone else."
I swallowed.
Well I'm waiting for him to punch me. I will accept his anger because I am guilty.
"But I don't know who that man is."
oh shit
"Have you accepted?" I asked him.
"I'm still hurt of course, but there's nothing I can do. Where he's happy, I'll be there too. I can't force myself on him because he won't really like me.
I approached Troy and put my arm around him.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry, did you do something?" He said laughing.
"I just want to say sorry. I hope one day you can forgive me."
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"Nothing..." I said. I think it will enter her mind that I am the man Kayla was referring to her.
"You're weird." He said.
I feel guilty.
Two months have passed. In two months we were able to hide our relationship with Kayla and until now it's still like that, thankful because no one knows. I respect her decision not to say anything. I don't even know how long we will hide it.
"Does it matter to me?" Question of the most beautiful person in my eyes.
I looked at the shoes he measured. "It's all up to you."
"Gosh! Don't be a bolero."
"I'm telling the truth, but of course I'm better suited to you."
"Stop it." He said, I laughed when I saw her blushing.
We are here today at the mall to go shopping and buy school supplies. Next week is already a college life.
"I hate using a mask, it's hot." I complain. Every time we go out we have to wear a mask. It's hard for us to be talked about again.
"This is so cute." Kayla said while looking at the clothes, it's a couple shirts "You want?" I asked her.
"I want it but we can't wear it."
"We can wear that when it's just the two of us together, you go shopping for a design."
He was happy shopping. "I'm excited to wear this." She said.
"We can use it now."
"Can we?"
"Of course." I told her.
That's how we paid before putting it on and continuing the rotation. I even teased him and he hit me a few times because I was flirting with him in public.
"Kyler..." She said authoritatively and looked at me sharply but she laughed when I tickled her. "Stop Kyler, it's embarrassing."
"Kyler! We stopped.
That voice.
"Oh my gosh." Kayla whispered and peeked behind me and she immediately hid. "It's Shiela, she's coming." It said.
I never looked back. I pulled Kayla and hid in the dressing room.
"Where is he? Could that be Kyler or did I just miss it?" We heard that Shiela said, she's near.
We breathed a sigh of relief. Until now, Shiela still doesn't stop me, she still comes to the house, and she and mommy are still close. Daddy is the only one he can't get close to.
"I think she's gone." Kayla whispered so we opened the door. The elderly man who was waiting outside was even surprised.
"Oh young people! You really chose to flirt here." It said.
"Ma'am it's not wh—." I didn't finish what I was going to say because it came in. We were even surprised because he closed it upside down.
Kayla and I looked at each other and both laughed.
"It's an old lady." I whispered.
"Ssshh. Let's go" Kayla stopped laughing out loud.
"Wait...is that Tyra?" I said.
Kayla looked up at what I was looking at, It's Tyra with a man, they are eating and they are very sweet. "Who's that man?" She asked.
"Boyfriend?"
"Nah, maybe a brother or cousin."
"The way they act, you think that's a brother or cousin, he's another only child." I said. "I'll approach him"
"Kyler no!"
"We have to meet that man, we have to shake him. Do we know if Tyra isn't serious?"
"He'll wonder why we're together. Don't be too protective. I'll ask him myself tomorrow." This is it.
Yes I'm protective especially with female friends. It's not just me, it's Ken and Troy, so when they find out that Tyra has a boyfriend, it's sure to be a blast.
"It's like Val is the only one who is single, that's all. Don't let her have a boyfriend, it's another headache for us." I said.
"What about Shiela?"
"Why did he come?"
"Shiela is part of the group too."
"That's why I'd rather have a boyfriend, to stop me."
She laughed.
"You're still not used to him."
"I'll never get used to it, it irritates me."
"Okay okay." Let's go, let's talk to Tyra." He said and pulled me away.
Kayla stopped, I looked at her, she was silent as she looked at a family laughing, they passed us and she followed it.
"Is there a problem?"
He shook his head and smiled. "Nothing, they're just fun to look at. I've never experienced that." She said sadly and tears came out of her eyes which she immediately wiped before she faced me and she's smiling now, it's hurting me every time I see her cry. I don't want it to get hurt. She misses her father for sure and I don't know if she misses her mommy too.
I held her face and caressed it. "I promise you, in the future we will form a family, I will never leave you. I will not let our family be destroyed." I said to him.
She nodded and hugged me.
"Promise me that we will only be happy." This is it.
"I promise." I whispered.
"Shall we eat? I'm hungry." It said.
I grinned and pinched his nose.
"You're always hungry, you're becoming greedy."
"You always feed me, you trained me." Blame it on me.
"You really like it."
"That's food, grace. It's a good thing I didn't gain weight."
Still Kyler
"What the hell Shiela!" I screamed. How come when I woke up he was next to me. "What are you even here?!" I can't help but be angry.
He just smiled which annoyed me. If it's just a boy, I don't know what to do. Thank you, she is a woman.
"Good morning baby." He said softly and caressed my chest, I shook it and immediately stood up.
"How many times did I tell you not to come into my room?"
"I don't know how many times, you know Kyler I'll do whatever I want."
"Wha—."
"What is happening here?" asked mommy who entered the room.
"Mommy, didn't you tell me not to let him in my room?"
"She's your girlfriend Kyler, she has rights."
"She's not my girlfriend mommy!" I screamed.
"Don't raise your voice at me Kyler! I'm your mother."
"How can I not be angry? She's not my girlfriend! I'm not in love with her!"
I looked at Shiela who was now crying, she ran to mommy and hugged her.
"Kyler! Don't hurt your girlfriend, you're too much!"
"Me too? Really me?" I fake laughed.
"What are you angry about Kyler, just because he came into your room?"
"It's not just that, it's also because of what he tells you that you believe. What did that make you want to be on his side." I was stunned because my mommy slapped me hard.
"Don't you have any respect anymore?! Come on, let's go down first." Mommy supports Shiela.
I closed the door backwards.
I calm myself down but it feels like I'm about to punch someone at any moment. I took a deep breath and called the person I knew could make me feel better.
"Hey my king, good morning." He greeted, it looks like I woke up.
"I'm sorry to wake you up."
"No it's okay. Your voice sounds like you have a problem."
"Can we meet? "Right now?"
"I hope so."
"Okay then. I'll just take a shower."
"Okay, I love you."
"I love you too."
I smiled, the anger I was feeling disappeared a little.
"Hey." Kayla greeted me with a hug. I buried my face in his neck. I felt him caressing my back.
I kissed her forehead.
"What happened?" She asked when we got into the car.
"Shiela is in our house, she entered my room again. I couldn't help but be angry, I told mom that she's not my girlfriend, but still she believes Shiela more, she's on her side."
"Shiela really loves you."
"I'd better introduce you to mommy, for sure she'll like you."
"But Shiela will know."
"So what, he or she should know. Because it won't take long for them to know the truth."
"No Kyler....not now, please?"
Why do we have to keep our relationship a secret? Who is he afraid of? Shiela's? Does he still feel guilty?
"I'm sorry my king." He said and leaned his head on my shoulder.
"Okay, I understand." I said even though I don't really understand why.
"Where do you want to go? To somehow make you feel better?"
"I'm okay now, you're here so I'm okay."
