Chapter 134 - You Have A Long Road Ahead, Mister.

They were enjoying the moment however, it was short-lived when someone started knocking the door. 

Kyra's eyes widened and she almost fell off the bed but managed to scramble her way out of bed. 

"Shit! It should be Lisa and Sofia!", Kyra said frantically.

However, unlike Kyra, Oliver didn't move but continued to look at Kyra who was panicking. 

'Why is she panicking like this? Is..Is she regretting?' Oliver thought. But her actions a few seconds back didn't look that way but the other way around. 

If she is fine with this, why don't she want her friends to know?

"What would happen if they found out we are sharing the bed?" Oliver quietly asked however, the disappointment is obvious in his voice. 

Kyra stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Oliver. She was fixing her dress so that her friends won't be able to spot the red marks on her fair skin. 

Only after looking at his slightly painful expression, she understood what was going on in his mind and sighed. 

"They will tease me indefinitely. They will have their sweet revenge on me for what I have done in the past to tease them. You remember the pictures accidentally sent by Lisa to you? She has sent them in a group where my brothers are added. I had a tough time convincing them that it was nothing but a prank pulled by Sophia and Lisa on me.", she explained and sat beside him on the edge of the bed. 

She took his hand into hers, entwined their fingers and pressed it to her cheeks. "It's not like I want to hide, Oliver. I am being cautious so my brothers won't come hunting for you. You understand why they are overprotective of me right? They are just scared that I would hurt myself as I am very skilled in doing that to myself." Kyra chuckled at her last sentence. 

"I want to wait for the right time to introduce you to them. Our relationship is still in its early stage so, even if I tell them how I feel about you, it won't bring anything but panic in them"

"I want them to see by themselves that you are the right choice." Kyra explained. 

Oliver smiled. 

It is not that he doesn't know Kyra's intentions. In fact, he never even questioned his trust towards her. He is just anxious and it can't be helped. 

"We will wait for the right time. And, I promise that I will successfully impress your brothers.", Oliver said, kissing her forehead. 

"You have a long road ahead, Oliver. But afraid not, I will be there with you throughout the journey," Kyra said and she leaned into Oliver's embrace. They were having a moment here but the voice from outside spoiled the environment again. 

"Ky, if you don't open it, I am gonna have to open it with a master key." Sofia shouted. 

—-------

Sofia and Lisa didn't plan to return early but they started to feel like they had given too much freedom to Oliver and Kyra. 

What if they get carried away and do something only to regret it later? 

At first, they didn't think much but the more they thought about it, the more they started to worry about it. It kept them awake the whole night so they could only return early. 

On their way upstairs they have seen the mess Kyra and Oliver made on the couch. The pillows on the couch were lying on the floor along with two towels. It is obvious what might have happened here. 

It only made them more restless and that's why they went directly to knock on the door. When they didn't get any response, Lisa signaled Sophia that she would search in guest rooms for Oliver. If he is using the guest room, there is no need to wake Kyra from her slumber. 

After listening to Lisa's reasoning, Sophia waited patiently for a few minutes and waited for Lisa to return. 

"Empty.", Lisa said and it was enough for Sophia to knock on the door again. 

"Ky, if you don't open it, I am gonna have to open it with a master key." she shouted. 

—-------

Kyra opened the door after a couple of minutes. She has changed into thermal wear with a turtleneck which she often wore during a rainy night. She thought it might reduce the suspicion. She hoped it would. 

"You opened at last!" Sophia said in relief. 

"I was sleeping! I needed some time to wake up. What's there to worry about?" Kyra asked.

"I was not worried. I was curious. Quick, tell me where Oliver is!" Sophia asked and peeked into Kyra's room. 

"Why?" Kyra asked.

"To thank him for keeping company." Sophia lied. 

"He slept in the garden house." Kyra said. It's not like she doesn't want Sophia and Lisa to know. She just doesn't want to risk it as there are chances Sophia or Lisa might accidentally leak it to her brothers. In fact, there is nothing special to hide. They just cuddled to sleep. 

"What? Really?" Sophia asked, failing to believe it. 

"Yes. He lost the bet and had to keep his side of the bargain." Kyra casually told as she walked out of her room to follow Sophia and Lisa to the garden. 

While they were talking, Oliver quickly used the balcony to exit the main house and sneaked his way into the garden house. He felt like a teenage boy sneaking out of his girlfriend's house after doing something mischievous. 

"Oh. I noticed the mess you guys made on the couch and I thought-" Lisa giggled with a teasing and mischievous smile. 

"What did you think? We haven't done anything and he had to take care of me because of my period cramps.", Kyra said. She didn't lie. He made ginger tea for her to drink and then they cuddled to sleep which is also part of taking care of her. He kept her warm and comfortable. 

"So, your periods ruined your romantic time? What a shame.", Sophia said but felt relieved. So, they haven't done anything on heat. 

"We had a nice evening. He helped me cook and we walked for a few minutes in the garden, talking. I showed him my painting and he drew my face. I painted for a while and then we slept." Kyra said. She just omitted a few details. 

Sophia and Lisa nodded their heads and by the time they reached the garden house, Oliver had just opened the door. He looked like he just woke up and when he saw the other two ladies who accompanied his girlfriend, he looked visibly surprised. 

"I didn't expect such an early return. I was about to return to the main house to cook something for Kyra." he said. He sounded so genuine that Kyra had to suppress her urge to smile. 

"We didn't want to trouble you, so we returned early. And, we already bought breakfast for four." Sophia said. 

"You guys fresh up and join us.", Lisa said and after that Sophia and Lisa walked back to the house to heat the breakfast. 

"You can become an actor." Kyra said to Oliver. 

Oliver just smiled and kissed her forehead and they walked into the main house and went to different rooms to freshen up. As Oliver used the restroom last night he simply walked towards it and Kyra went upstairs. 

"Seems like they really didn't go to phase 2 of their relationship." Lisa said. 

"Kyra is not someone who is comfortable with physical affection. She took almost two years to hug me and one year more to let me sleep in the same bed as hers." Sofia said. 

"Almost the same in my case as well.", Lisa said. 

"Although Oliver is special to her I don't think our friend would enter into physical intimacy this soon. Maybe a few more months to let him sleep on the same bed and the same amount of time to allow making out. As for making love, she might agree only after marriage." Sophia said. 

"Our friend has the best self control and she might not have lost all of her rationality to love. However, I feel bad for Oliver." Lisa said. 

"I pity Kyra too. She has such a feast in front of her but can't do anything more than cuddling." Sophia chuckled. 

"Or, they might. Never underestimate the power of love and they both feast to the eyes to hold on to self control." Lisa said. 

"They don't have to restrain themselves. Let's see what happens." Sophia said and finished placing the dishes on the dining table outdoors. 

As soon as Sophia and Lisa were done, Oliver and Kyra joined them. 

"Ky, I have something to say to you. It happened yesterday." Sophia said as they were about to finish dinner. She hasn't told Kyra about Jennifer and how they were good friends eight years ago. 

They have pulled out some threads and enquired about Jennifer's intentions toward Kyra.. It looked like she really cared about Kyra and was genuinely worried about her.
