Chapter 93 - At Last They...

When Kyra heard Oliver's question, it was only when she raised her head to look at him. 

She couldn't help but contemplate on how to answer the question. It is not him who has hurt her but at the same time she is hurt because of him. 

Oliver smiled and relaxed the lines on her forehead. "You can tell me everything, Ky. Even if it is something I unintentionally did and it has hurt you, you can directly demand an explanation from me." 

"I will tell you everything as there is nothing more important and more precious to me than you. I don't want anything from my side to hurt you Kyra. I would never dare to even think about hurting you."

"So, please tell me what happened. I can tell from your behavior that I have something to do with your current bad mood. It hurts my heart to get a cold shoulder from you." Oliver said as he looked into her eyes. 

He might lie but his eyes won't. He wants Kyra to know how sincere he is towards her. 

Meanwhile, Kyra teared up. 

His sweet words touched her heart and she couldn't help but purse her lips and look at him. 

She wants to tell him but why is she hesitating? 

Oliver waited patiently as he caressed her hair. They are still hugging each other. She had her face leaned against his chest while she hugged him with his waist. 

He has his arm wrapped around her waist while his other other hand is caressing her hair. 

Oliver is aware of their position but Kyra isn't. Maybe she is, but as his hug is warm and is giving her a sense of security, she didn't want to break apart from it. 

"Yesterday… I…" Kyra was about to tell but she stopped. It is only when it hits her that they aren't a couple yet. She didn't even confess to him so she doesn't have any right to demand an explanation. 

"What happened yesterday, Ky?" Oliver asked. 

"Remember. You can ask me everything. You have the right to do so as you are the only woman who managed to make me go crazy." he said. 

Kyra looked at him with surprise. How the hell is he managing to read whatever she is thinking inside? 

"How do you know what I am thinking?" she asked even before she could register what she did. 

Her voice is so cute that Oliver couldn't help his chuckle. 

"Don't know. I just do it" he told her as his lips lingered at her head. 

"So, it is really me. I don't remember doing anything that might hurt you. Is it because I refused to come to your house yesterday after work?" he asked. He recalled everything he did yesterday but there is nothing he could point at. 

Kyra pursed her lips and averted her eyes. 

"It's not that." she said. 

"Yesterday I was at the resort and I… I saw you with another woman." Kyra at last said. 

Oliver frowned in confusion. Another woman? At a resort??

Then only it has hit his mind that he went to dinner with his grandfather, Jennifer and her brother. 

He remembered seeing a familiar back near the restroom when he was going back with Jennifer. 

'Maybe Kyra was with her brother and friend and coincidentally saw me and Jenny in the restroom' he immediately thought. 

He couldn't help but recall what he said to Jennifer in the restroom. Her periods and how he felt relieved she got them. 

Their conversation is really misleading. Onlookers might think he was relieved because she isn't pregnant. 

As that silly realization had just hit him, Oliver started laughing. 

No wonder Kyra was angry. He has not only acted close to a woman but has also misled her into thinking something else. 

His laughter has only made Kyra more angry. She gave a little shove to his stomach with her elbow and that only made Oliver laugh. 

"Sorry...sorry", he said as he suppressed his laughter. 

"It's funny to think of me and Jennifer like that. It is just like Sofia getting jealous seeing you and Ryan acting close." Oliver said, giving her an analogy of her, her brother and her best friend, Sofia. 

When Kyra heard it, she couldn't bring herself to digest it. What about the photo then? 

Although she is almost convinced that Oliver is not lying, she needs an explanation. But how will she ask him about the picture? 

He might think that she is digging into his past and stalking him. She didn't want him to think like that…

Getting no response from her, Oliver looked at her, who is deep in thoughts and has worry still lingering in her eyes. 

"Let me tell you the whole story." Oliver said, understanding that Kyra is not convinced. 

"I knowJennifer since my childhood. She has been my sister's best friend since they were in the age of wearing diapers." 

"So, I have known Jennifer from the time she was a baby. She was my junior in primary school, middle school and as well as high school. She followed me to my med school too." 

"I am attached to her as a brother, Kyra. She literally grew up in front of me into this smart, beautiful woman. I am proud of her just like how other brothers would like to see their sister become successful." Oliver explained. From his voice it is evident that he loves Jennifer as a sister. 

She has been listening to the same tone from all her brothers. 

But what about that kissing picture then? No brother and sister does that!!!

"For me Jenny has always been like a sister. Unfortunately, for her I was not a brother since a few years back. After getting into medical school she confessed that she likes me in a romantic way." 

"My rejection didn't go well for her. She was disturbed and took it hard. However, after my relentless explanations, she understood that I could never accept her as anything but a sister." 

"We lost touch for the next three to four years as I finished my med school and left the university. We didn't contact each other and didn't cross paths even when we used to come home." 

"I wanted her to move on and she did. She understood that she admired me and it was only attraction. She understood that she could never be happy with the forced love and finally, we went back to our normal relationship. I am her brother and she is nothing but a sister to me. Oliver said in a single go. 

Kyra heard everything attentively. 

And, it didn't sound unbelievable. This kind of scenario has crossed her mind but she was tangled in her insecurities to give it a serious thought. 

Oliver is really someone who could make most of the girls fall for him. His charm, his aura and well he is good at most of the things. 

It is not a surprise that Jennifer liked him and wanted to be with him as his better half. 

"So, what I saw was just a brother caring for sister?" Kyra asked. 

Oliver chuckled against her hair and gave a brief peck on her hair. 

"Yes. You were just overthinking!" Oliver answered. He felt very happy now. 

So, Kyra is really serious about him. Until yesterday he had been drowning in the wave of anxiety. She lets him get close but doesn't confess. 

Now, seeing her get jealous is the obvious answer to his question. She does like him and is very serious about him. 

Kyra suppressed her smile and looked at Oliver who was smiling like a bright sun and was actually suppressing his laughter. 

"What is so funny that you are getting tempted to laugh?" Kyra asked, feigning her anger. 

She could feel his happiness and it made her happy too. 

"You are cute when you get jealous." Oliver said, now laughing. 

"Jealous?? Who is jealous!" Kyra hurriedly said. 

"You have actually taken that to another level that I almost got a heart attack with anxiety. From yesterday night to now, several thoughts have crossed my mind and I have never been this scared, Ky. Never." Oliver said, as he moved his hands down her hair. 

Kyra pursed her lips feeling guilty. 

"I think this happened for my own good." Oliver said, making Kyra's heart drop. 

Is he saying that she is so suspicious and insecure that he couldn't take it? Is he saying that he can't handle her anymore and wants to let her go?? 

Noticing Kyra's frightened expression Oliver hurriedly explained. 

"It's for my own good because I understood that I should never keep anything from the girl I want to woo. I wanted to tell you about Jennifer, Ky but I had to leave for a business trip and we didn't get to meet until yesterday."

"I should have said yesterday but-" before Oliver could hurriedly explain, Kyra placed her palm on his mouth. 

"Don't. Don't make me feel guilty anymore.." she said and did something Oliver never expected her to do it now. It made him widen his eyes…
