"About me? That's a hard topic to start."
There is a lot of things that Kyle would like to say to Anna about him, a lot of good things things that could leave a good impression. But he would like Anna to ask him whatever she wants to hear from him. It is better that way.
Anna pouted and said, "It is not that hard!"
Telling her about himself is not a hard thing to do. Even her brother does not have any problem doing that. He can either say that he is a cold-hearted man to those who is a stranger to him or some sort that can describe him best.
Seeing that pout on her face is hard for Kyle to control himself from pinching her cheeks. She is too cute and it is really bad for his heart. "It is hard because I don't know what you want to know about me. I can't just say things about me that you are not interested in."
What Kyle said made sense, but that did not please Anna at all. So what if he says things that might not interest her, that does not mean that she will not try and understand him. She wants to get close to him, whatever dark side he has, she would be happy to know. This will make her understand him even more.
"If you're gonna play it like that, then..." Anna crosses her arms, then tilted her head as she is thinking of what kind of question will she throws at him.
The way that her hair brushes her skins makes it more beautiful in Kyle's eyes. He wants to gently touch her bare neck, but he is stopping himself from doing so because he knows Anna won't like it and she might avoid him.
"Behind that cold image of yours, what are you like?" Anna asked.
Anna wants to know the person behind the cold image of Kyle. She wants to know that him being kind to her and some other stuff is all true. She is having some thoughts that Kyle is having the same feeling she had in her past life towards Juan. In this current life, Anna thinks that the same feeling she before that Kyle is having now, is towards her.
She does not want to ask him that because she doesn't want to make Kyle thinks that she is assuming things. It will only hurt her feelings and could make things awkward between them.
Kyle is somehow upset that Anna thinks of him as a cold person, but then again, she is not wrong. He is a cold person, but only to those who hide their true intention to him. He is pretty sure that he never treated Anna coldly, and he is wondering if Anna is thinking that he is treating her coldly.
"Honestly, I don't really know. But what I do know that I act very differently to the people who important to me." Kyle can't say that he is a gentle and caring person behind his cold personality to the public because he knows that he is not that person. He is cold, even towards his family, but he cares for them. He treats the people he cares for very differently from the others.
As for Anna, he guesses that he biased on her more than anyone else. He can be the opposite of his cold image just for Anna, and he won't hesitate on doing that. But first, he needs to tell Anna that he wants to be her suitor.
Anna smiled, "Not very specific, but I guess your answer is good enough." Anna can't complain to Kyle's answer because, at the way Lannie talks about her brother, there was love in their family. Kyle might not say it, but deep inside, Anna can sense that Kyle is a caring person towards the people who are close to him.
As time passes by between them, all they both did is talk about the things that interest them. More and more, they are getting to know each other better. The nervousness and awkwardness that Anna felt earlier are now gone, she felt more relaxed talking to Kyle.
Talking to Kyle is causing Anna to feel sleepy, and Kyle noticed that. She was about to fall, and it is a good thing that Kyle's reflexes are fast that he was able to catch her fast.
"If you're gonna sleep, then you should have laid down on your bed." Kyle slightly chuckled at Anna's carelessness, then he gently places Anna on her bed.
Kyle stared at Anna's face and gently caresses her cheek. Seeing her up close makes him wanna kiss her, but he has a deep respect for Anna that he was able to stop himself from doing so. As long as his title to Anna's heart is as a friend, Kyle would never do such a thing towards Anna.
"Just you wait, Anna. I'll have you for sure." Kyle silently declared to Anna, then leaves her room. As much as he wants to stay in Anna's room and watch her sleeping face, he can't because the permission he had from Marcus is limited.
He better leave before Marcus changes his mind. Marcus' mind can be quite complicated.

"Lannie, tell me again, why am I with you here in the mall?" There was a hint of annoyance in Aaron's tone. He could not understand that it is only the two of them together walking in the mall.
He got a call from Lannie earlier that they are going to the mall together with their other friends, and of course, in Aaron's mind, Nathalia is coming along. But unfortunately for him, Lannie lied to him and now, they are stuck together for the rest of the day.
He wanted to leave, but Lannie literally handcuffed his left hand to her other hand. She even said that they are going to be like this until she had received a message from a certain someone. Aaron has no idea who is that someone, but he is already hating that someone and Lannie.
"You are here to spend time with me, your friend that you can always rely on," Lannie said in a sweet tone of voice. She may look happy and satisfied, but deep inside she is feeling nervous at the upcoming anger of Aaron.
'Brother, hurry up! Aaron might actually kill me!' Lannie silently prayed.
