Chapter 2
"There, drink more! Now you seem like you don't know because of the hangover. You shouldn't be drinking because you're a varsity player." Shaking my head I told my brother and cousin "Mikay water please, it's cold cold." Brother ordered with his eyes closed "Water too." Said Brother Froilan. I gave them a hard time and went to the kitchen. Aunt is not there so they can't be preached to.
"Don't you have school?" I asked them and handed over the water.
"We don't have class today." Brother Marc "Practice later." Brother Froilan said indifferently.
I looked at my phone because someone was calling.
"Who's Kyler?" My brother asked that he saw the caller's name because my phone was lying on the table.
I immediately took it. "My friend." I said.
"Just friends?" Brother Froilan asked.
"Yes." I said and left them.
Why is Kyler calling?
"Hello?" I answer.
"Hey Kayla good morning."
It's nice to hear his voice.
"Kayla? "ah yes, why were you summoned?"
"I said good morning."
"Oww yes, good morning too." I said smiling "Do you have time now?"
"Why? "I want to invite you, I'd like to spoil you "Where?"
"It's just at the mall, is that all right?"
"Alright." I immediately agreed but I remembered what I said last night that I would forget my feelings and avoid me. I was about to decline but he spoke.
"That's what you said, let's meet at the friends' meeting place, or you want me to fetch you?"
"H-ha, not anymore. Just there at the meeting point." I said. I don't want him to come here, I know Brother, they might get angry "Are you leaving?" Brother Marc asked when he saw me dressed "Yes, I'm just going to buy something "Are you really just going to buy or are you going to meet?" He said seriously "Brother, I'm just going to buy something, relax. My friend is with me."
"Kyler?" I nodded slowly.
"Is he the only one?"
"We have another girl with us, Val." I lie just to be allowed.
He just nodded and entered his room.
I hurried to leave.
I have arrived at the meeting place of the gang, where is it? Only at a fast food. We like to hang out. I haven't even gotten out of the taxi when I see Kyler sitting on a motorcycle, is that his?
He stood up when he saw me come down. My heart beat faster when he smiled at me. There was a part of me that wanted to run up to him and hug him but I remembered what Shiela said and Kyler is not my boyfriend.
"Is that yours?" I smelled the motor.
"Yeah "When have you ever had something like that?"
"It's been a long time, I just don't use it."
"I didn't know you knew how to drive a motorcycle" I also know how to drive a car." He said "Why did you invite me? Why not Shiela?"
"I like you." He said that I stopped.
What did he say?
"You're the one I want to invite, of course I don't want you to sulk with me. Maybe you mean Shiela is always with me. Next time I'll invite Tyra and Val.
Oww...it's like that. I thought it was something.
"Wait... don't tell me you too are thinking something about me and Shiela? I shook my head.
"We're just friends, that's all." He said that I was even surprised by Soya who himself put the helmet on my head and helped me ride.
Friends? Is that really all he can give Shiela? My friend will be hurt.
I grabbed Kyler's shoulder, he gasped. He grabbed my hand and brought it to his waist. "It's safer if you hold it there." He said.
I was surprised because he started the motor that's why I hugged him tightly. I don't understand what I feel anymore.
I hear a loud heartbeat? Is that my heartbeat or his heartbeat?
Mikayla don't get your hopes up! All you hear is your heartbeat.
I didn't know where we were going but I realized it was at the mall because his motorcycle had been put in the parking lot "Are you going to buy something here?" I will ask.
He nodded, he helped me down. "Mommy and I have a party to attend. I need to buy a formal clothes. I'm not good at looking at formal clothes. You know me, my passion is different." He said. "I invited you because I know you are good at choosing clothes."
"Hey!" I raised my hand. "Tyra is the stylish one, she's the good one. Not me." I said.
"Is that so? Well, you're with me now, maybe you know too, right? Let's go." He said and pulled me, like everything was in slow motion. We are like a couple because we are holding hands.
I was only looking at our hands, that's why I didn't expect my face to hit the wall! Goodness!!!!
"Ouch!" I moaned.
"Hey are you okay?" Kyler asked so I looked at him while stroking my forehead. There was concern on his face. "Where are you looking so you didn't notice the wall?"
'In our hands!' That's what I was going to say but I didn't say anything. I cried because of the pain. This is what I don't like, I cry when I am hurt physically and emotionally. I stopped crying because it was embarrassing for Kyler, but when I closed my eyes, tears fell from my eyes.
"Hey, hey. Does it hurt too much?" He asked and he stroked my forehead. "Because it's you! You don't look at what you're passing by."
I cried even more because he scolded me. It's if it's oa but this is who I really am.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. You might think I'm angry." He said and he wiped my tears so I suddenly stopped.
I shook my head and removed Kyler's hand. "I'm fine, let's go." I said and tried to smile. My forehead hurts but it gradually disappears.
Kyler let me find something formal for him to wear. I will choose what I know will suit him. I smiled when I saw what I was looking for, it's a matching pair of suit pants and suit jacket. Black and white has something for him.
"Kyler." I called him. He just sat there looking at me. "Put it on, come on." I said and pulled him. I gave him my choice and pushed him into the dressing room.
I went around and looked for something better, but when she came out and she was wearing what I had chosen, my jaw dropped. In what she was wearing, her elegance came out even more. The formal suit is perfect for him, I looked! I'm right, I have eyes that can really look at him.
I looked back at him, still staring at him. I closed my eyes because of him flicking my nose.
"You idiot, maybe you're falling in love with me." He joked.
"You know it's perfect! Gosh! You're so handsome, but you know you'd better get a haircut, your hair is quite long." I said "Okay, I'm going to get a haircut. So it's okay? Because this is what I'm going to get."
"Yes, buy that, come on. Get dressed." I said.
While waiting I could hear whispers, almost every customer was talking about Kyler. He said he can be an actor, a model. But knowing Kyler, he doesn't want to be an actor or anything like that. Maybe you can be a basketball player.
"That's Kyler Walton, isn't he the son of Governor Darcy Walton?"
"Yes he is!"
Oh yes! Why did I forget? He is also known because he is the son of the Governor here in our area, that's what I forgot to say about him.
"Let's go." He said. I didn't notice that he had finished dressing and paying.
I moved a bit away from Kyler, because I was looking at him. I'm fine because it's like I'm just an assistant. Because I didn't fix it properly earlier.
He stopped and frowned when he turned to me. He pulled me and put his arm around me. "Why are you walking away?" he asked. I was about to remove his hand but he raised an eyebrow at me so I let it go.
"Are you alright?" Kyler asked after cutting him off. I gave a thumbs up. "Thank you for coming, since you came with me I will feed you."
"Oh, I'm really hungry."
"Where do you want to eat?"
"Anywhere."
"Come, I'll take you where mommy and I often eat." It said. I just followed him. We went to an Italian restaurant. "This is my favorite restaurant." With this, we went to the farthest table. "And this is my favorite spot." He said and ordered this for us to eat. "You know I have a promise to myself?"
"What is that?"
"That whichever girl I brought here is the one I will love and marry."
I blinked, holding my breath.
He laughed and pinched my nose. He likes to pinch your nose.
"Just kidding." He says.
He is annoying.
"But the woman brought you something here? "Just you."
"You didn't bring Shiela here?"
"No, just you."
Which restaurant is he taking Shiela to?
"You know bring Shiela here she will definitely like it here." I said. I really need to walk Shiela to him.
"Okay."
"And he's happy with what, happier than me." I said.
He just nodded. I still ask some questions but they only answer with a nod. I'm just wasting saliva.
"What's up?" I asked Val when I went to see them in the school garden. I've been noticing that people are looking at me, I feel like they're talking about me.
"You haven't seen it?" Tyra asked.
"Which?"
Val handed me his cell phone. My eyes widened because it was a picture of me and Kyler while we were at the mall. We have a picture of him walking with his arm around me, we also have a picture of us eating.
I was amazed at the caption I read. "Kyler Walton is not single anymore. Sorry girls the son of Governor Darcy is already taken."
Seriously?!
I read the name of the person who posted, it's a poser when I opened his profile. I never thought it would go viral. How fast is the news?!
"Explain." Tyra said.
"I just accompanied him to the mall, that's it. He just hung out, I accompanied him as a friend, and he just likes to hug. It's not just me that he hugs, right? You too, it's bad Marites what? It's making an issue." I said. They just looked and didn't speak. "Come on girls, I'm telling the truth."
Suddenly they laughed.
"What are you, we know what. I don't know about people today. You even beat the artist." Val promised.
"Keep frowning." Tyra said looking behind me. It was Shiela approaching us. The aura looks different. Good heavens! Maybe because of the news that spread.
"Sheila." I said.
He just looked at me sadly.
I know why.
"Shiela, the pictures don't mean anything, Kyler just made me feel bad. That's all." I explain.
"Why did you come with me? Well, I'm here." His voice was tinged with annoyance.
"Wow, Shiela, you're not a porker when you're close to him, it's just you. Kyler and I are friends too, of course, after Mikayla, Kyler will also cheer us on. Don't be." Val said painfully.
"I'm just sulking at Mikayla, I wish you had told me that Kyler came with you so I could go with you, right? I wish I hadn't left you. I would have stayed at your house first so I could be with you and Kyler, then you're his girlfriend now viral."
I held my breath. I sat next to him and held his arm.
"I'm sorry." I apologize like a child. "The next time he asks me out, I'll tell you, and I'll tell him to call you, not me." I said. It smiled. "Promise that, huh?"
I nodded. "Of course."
I saw Val shake his head.
"Okay, thank you! I'm really your best friend." He said and hugged me. "Wait here, I'm just going to meet the boys," he said and left us.
I really need to stay away. Everyone needs to talk about them and Shiela, not the two of us. For my friend I will make a way for them to be.
