Chapter 112 - Quality Day At Home Together.

Oliver touched his forehead and smiled. It felt good. Just with Kyra's presence, he started to feel as if he is getting better. 

--------

"You didn't go cycling??" Sofia asked when she entered the house and noticed that Kyra was in the kitchen. 

"And, why are you in the kitchen, Ky? Didn't we decide to go back to Crescent Garden ( where Kyra's house is located) for breakfast?" she added. 

"The answer for your first question is nope, I didn't go for my morning exercise. The answer for your second question is, "I am staying here today." Kyra answered as she arranged the groceries she just ordered. 

"Can I ask why?" Sofia asked as she sat down at kitchen island. 

"I didn't go cycling because Oliver is not feeling well and I am staying here because I have to take care of him." Kya answered. 

After listening to Kyra's answer Sofia could help her excitement. 

"You are going to his house??" Sofia asked approaching Kyra and holding her arm. 

"I already went. This morning." Kyra said, not getting why Sofia is excited. 

"Really? What did you both do??" Sofia asked, her voice teasing. 

"Keep your dirty thoughts in check! He is sick! What could we do other than I taking care of him." Kyra said, shaking her head at her friend. 

"How did you take care of him?" Sofia probed. 

"I don't understand why best friends are always super excited to fish more information about their friends." Kyra mumbled, remembering how Jennifer probed about Oliver's relationship.

"Because we are called best friends. That's the natural trait of a best friend." Sofia said, pinching Kyra's cheeks making Kyra narrow her eyes and pout. 

"Now, don't divert the topic and answer my question, will you?" Sofia said. 

"I cooked for him, gave him his medicines and came back." Kyra answered Sofia's first question. 

"That's it?" Sofia asked. 

"I kissed his forehead. That's it." Kyra said, rolling her eyes. 

Sofia chuckled. 

"I know that you both would make a good pair." she said. Seeing Kyra's happy mood, she could heave in relief that supporting Oliver has started bearing fruits. 

"You do?" Kyra asked. Although she is happy with what's going on between her and Oliver, she couldn't help but worry about her and Oliver's past experiences. They both have ended up with bad memories and traumatic experiences. 

"I really think so, Ky. You are trying your best to give everything a chance again and he is cautious towards his steps because of his past. He wants someone who values the relationship and gives their best. You are doing it."

"You want someone who can make you happy and at the same time not hurt you and cherish you. He is doing exactly the same." Sofia said. 

"You both are perfect for each other." she added. One of the reasons why she accepted Oliver as her best friend's boyfriend is because of this. 

Luther is also a better choice but he has nothing for which Kyra could contribute other than love. 

At the start of their relationship, Kyra and Luther might not feel anything but after a few years, who knows what their relationship would be like? 

Luther could simply say he is the one who has put more effort in their relationship and Kyra was just beneficiary. 

But it is different in Oliver and Kyra's relationship. They both have to put equal efforts and the most important thing is they like each other. They want to be with each other unlike in Luther and Kyra's relationship where Luther is the only one who has romantic feelings. 

After hearing Sofia's logical explanation, Kyra nodded her head. That's right. 

Their past experiences make them the best pair. They can heal each other. 

"I will tell Luther and Ryan that you have to go to Oliver's research center for some important work and would be able to return only at night." Sofia said. 

"Thanks Ky. You are the best." Kyra said, hugging her best friend and leaving a quick peck on her cheeks. 

Sofia smiled seeing excitement in Kyra's eyes. 

"I know that I am the best." Sofia narcissistically said. 

"And, don't tell your over possessive brother or over protective friend about your relationship with Oliver. Not yet." she added. 

As Ryan is siding up with Luther, he might try to distract Kyra from putting her best efforts in her relationship. 

"I won't tell them till my relationship with Oliver stabilizes. Don't worry." Kyra answered. 

"Good." Sofia said. 

After that, Sofia freshened up and Kyra made breakfast for herself and her best friend. 

Chatting happily, the friends finished their breakfast and Sofia left for Crescent Gardens to meet Ryan and Luther. 

She has to keep them distracted so Oliver and Kyra can spend some quality time. 

------

By the time Sofia reached Kyra's house, she saw Ryan, Luther and her cousin Daniel having breakfast. 

'What is my cousin doing here!' Sofia worriedly thought. 

Daniel and Oliver are best friends, so it could be possible that Daniel knows where Oliver is. If it is the case, her lie will be out. 

"Where is Kyra?" as soon as she entered, Ryan and Luther asked at the same time. 

Daniel looked at his sister, expecting the answer. 

"She won't be coming today." Sofia said. 

"What?" Luther asked, shocked. 

"Why?" Ryan asked, surprised to hear that. 

"She is going to a research center for some work. She will be back by night." Sofia lied. 

"It's Saturday. Why is she working??" Ryan said, angry and disappointed that he won't be getting to spend time with his sister. 

"Yes. Why is Dr. Oliver Miller keeps her busy on weekends." Luther said. He came all the way here to woo Kyra and see what is happening!! 

"She willingly went. I don't know if Mr. Miller would be going with her to the research center." Sofia quickly came up with a lie. 

Now, even if Daniel finds out that Oliver is sick, everyone will think that Kyra went alone to do her work. 

Praising herself, Sofia went back to her room. If she stays here for some more time, they will flood her with questions. 

--------

Meanwhile, back at Kyra and Oliver's place. 

After a few hours, Oliver called Kyra. He just woke up now and he knows that Kyra is waiting for him to call as she didn't want to disturb him. 

"Woke up?" Kyra asked. 

"Yes. Just now " Oliver answered with his husky tone. 

"How are you feeling?" Kyra asked. He could sense the affection in her voice. 

"Better." Oliver answered. 

"Thank God." Kyra said, feeling relieved. She was already getting attached to Oliver. 

"Wanna come up, Ky? If you are alone and feeling bored, you can keep my company. " Oliver said, acting pitiful. 

Kyra contemplated for a few seconds. "Okay. I am coming." She said, 

After a few minutes, Kyra is already in front of his house. 

She has changed from her workout outfit to casual attire. 

She is wearing an oversized, full sleeve, T-shirt and a trouser of coffee brown color and has left her hair free. Her face is void of makeup and she looked simple and elegant. 

When Oliver answered the door, he couldn't help but look at her, absorbing the view in front of her as much as he could. 

"Can I get in?" Kyra asked in a teasing voice. She could only laugh inside because she could see that he got affected by her dress. 

"Of..of course." Oliver said, welcoming her inside. Her bare shoulders, her slim neck, her collarbones...he couldn't take his eyes off them. 

She shouldn't be teasing him like this!! 

"What shall we do? I can't sleep and there is time for lunch." Oliver said. His voice has cleared up a little and he looked better compared to before. 

Kyra looked around. They can work on research papers but this is the weekend and they can have fun instead of working like workaholics, which they are. 

"Movie? We can watch some light hearted movies." Kyra said. 

Oliver nodded his head and led Kyra to the home theatre. 

Kyra selected a movie to watch and they sat down, their shoulders brushing. 

Oliver couldn't help but get distracted because of Kyra's natural scent and body's warmth. Adding to that, her outfit is very distracting and tempting. 

Even Kyra couldn't help it. She could only take glimpses at Oliver as the movie started. 

Oliver coughed a little and entwined their fingers. 

Feeling his warm palms, Kyra looked at him and smiled. She didn't run away from showing the affection so, she placed her head on his shoulders and pretending to watch the movie. 

Truth to be told, she could feel her heart beat fast. She can't concentrate on the movie at all. 

Oliver was taken aback by little but smiled in content. He leaned his head on her head and kissed her head. 

With a beautiful smile on their lips, they focussed their eyes on movie but truth to be told, their hearts are focussed on each other. 

They are indeed having the quality time unaware that many people outside are plotting to break them apart.
