Bab 175: Chapter 172
" But you guys just literally got here, " Khloe complained when I told her we'd be heading out in the next hour or so. But when I told her where we were going, she understood. Apparently, she had also been invited by Miles' mum but had made up an excuse since she wasn't in the mood to go.
" I think she invited everyone in the neighborhood, it'll just be too tiring for me. My back's been killing me lately, " she further explained. I noted that they had finally decided to hire more help. And I was glad because there was no way she would have been able to manage everything in that place alone, not in her condition, and after she gave birth things were probably going to be even harder because she'd have more responsibility.
" We won't stay there long,an hour at most, " Kyle stated. But the words were spoken precisely to me. He was just informing me of how long he'd be willing to endure staying over there.
I wanted him to rest, it would have been better had the event been on a weekend, but if we didn't go then Miles would feel like I had broken his trust. I normally wouldn't care but I suppose I my soft spot for him was increasing.
" Yeah, just an hour, " I assured them both.
" Are those for me? " Khloe asked Kyle, gesturing towards the flowers he was still holding in his hands. He looked at them, then he smiled and bit his lower lip. Khloe was obviously just teasing him but he didn't seem to read too well into that.
" Ummm, actually...."
" I'm joking. But you should make sure you put them in some water. I can do it for you if you'd like, "
" Thanks, here you go. "
She took them, then she playfully winked at me and said something about how sweet I actually was, and because I didn't really want to encourage her to say more, I led Kyle away. We had to go her ready and there was hardly any time for us to do so. It felt as if the minutes were passing by really fast. We didn't go overboard with the outfits, just a laid back casual look. He picked a white dress shirt and blue jeans I had never worn before and I wore what I normally wore. I knew he hadn't been fooling around entirely when he told me to try on color a bit more but perhaps next time. I still didn't feel like it. And black was just a happy color to me, you could literally put anything on but it would somehow work.
" You were supposed to tell me something, " I reminded him when he sat down on the bed after getting ready. I was standing by the washroom door, and I keenly observed as he laid on his back and closed his eyes. It was a swift way of him trying to avoid my gaze, but I knew him better than he thought I did. Something was in his mind. There had been something troubling him for a while and I had been burning up with the need to ask him.
" We'll be late, I'll tell you when we come back. "
" Why can't you tell me now?"
" I just told you, we'll be late. "
That was a very petty excuse. It bothered me to know that he was keeping something from me. Even though he had promised to tell me, it made me restless and curious. There were so many probable possibilities raving through my head and I wasn't going to relax until he told me point blank what the issue was.
" We still have time, and what's the difference if you're gonna end up telling me anyways. Let's just hear it now, "
" Later. "
All he gave me was that one word. Said in that formal tone which normally implied he had reached the end of the argument and wouldn't be participating any more. Kyle was a good person but at times when it came to me he could be real cunning and unfair. He sneaked a peak at me, but immediately closed his eyes again when he realized I was intensely staring at him. I knew he was about to stand up in an attempt to find another topic, so I strode over to where he was and got on top of him. My knees on the mattress as I straddled him. His turquoise eyes flicked over my features, then they fell to my chest and remained there. Not willing to look up so I could try and read them for myself. He asked me what I was doing, but instead of trying to get me off, he rather rested his hands on my waist and sighed. His hold on me was almost nonexistent, I couldn't even feel it, but it was probably because he was still deep in thought.
" Is it something bad? Did something happen? Just tell me, whatever it is, "
He blinked and forced a smile, then he finally looked at me and his hold tightened. He reached up and used my shirts neckline to pull me down towards him, and I had thought he was planning on kissing me or something, but he just nuzzled his nose against mine and then messe up the hair I had just spent ten minutes fixing up.
" I prefer it all messy, " he confessed lazily. I guess I was and would always be a sucker for that lazy tone of his voice. Because it was one of the sexiest things about him and he didn't even seem to realize it well. I wasn't putting any weight on him because in my mind, he was still a little fragile and wouldn't be able to take it. But he used the hand on his waist to pull me down. Grabbing onto the fabric of my t-shirt and using it to control me as he wished.
" Is it something I did?"
I was still on that subject. Kyle was a smart one, chances were he didn't even wanna tell me whatever it was, so he was going to insist we go to the event, and afterwards he'd claim to be too exhausted and he'd collapse in the bed and sleep immediately after closing his eyes. I was about to attempt guessing whatever the problem could be, but he stopped me from doing so by placing his hand on my jeans' zipper and sucking my neck. I hadn't expected the action at all, which I suppose made me all the more affected.
" You haven't done anything, " he assured me in a low voice. I had been completely composed before he made that unexpected move, and my composure only got more affected when he decided to casually rub his hand up and down my crotch.
" What're you doing?" I asked him, it's not that I was complaining but he was clearly troubled by something still.
" What does it look like I'm doing?"
" Trying to distract me. Now you know I'm always crazy about you but baby this won't work. "
He stopped whatever he was doing and settled his hands on his chest, refraining from touching me with traces of spite on his pretty face. But then I kissed him and it was all gone. He was starting to worry me and I hated being worried.
" Can I tell you later? I swear I will...just not now, "
He spoke in such a sweet and innocent manner there was no way I could turn him down if I tried. So I just nodded and asked him to stop looking so down and depressed. I urged him to smile for me, and when he did I smiled back and got off him, then I laid right beside him on the bed and wrapped my arms around him, holding on right because I needed him to feel how serious I was about him being my first priority. Whatever the day and time, he'd always come first. Perhaps it was a bit too selfish of me to prioritize him so much, but I couldn't help it.
" Austin?"He called out to me minutes later, and I heard the voice of the young kid that had always stared at me with a mixture of fear and curiosity. He literally wrapped his legs around me and tucked his head to my chest.
" Do we have to go? I wanna stay here. "
" I'm sorry, you tired?"
" I just want to stay here, like this...all night. "
" What if we just drop by Miles' then? We'll say hi, hang around for a few minutes and then we'll come back and I'll hold you however you want....for as long as you want. "
" How tempting. "
" Then it's decided. "
I was glad he had finally given in. Although it took him atleast ten more minutes before he let go of me on the entirely on bed. We both needed that contact so that we could survive. I got to touch him so many timed during the day but those were just light touches that only ever left me wanting more. He finally unwrapped himself from me and said he was ready to go.
