Chapter 53 - Ch. 53 I Will Date Both Of Them

"Are you Nicholas Larson?" questioned the woman as she walked towards Kaylee in disguise.

This woman looks very beautiful with light golden blonde hair and beautiful sparkle brown eyes. Who is this woman? She was sure enough the lady was neither the professor on this campus nor the students.

This woman looked like in her late twenties or early thirties due to the shape of her face and eyes that seemed so mature.

"Yes, and you are?"

"My name is Cassidy, assistant to Mister Black. He told me to come here to tell you that your extra lessons will be lessened to once a week. So today, you can go home and come again every next Wednesday."

Ha? Don't they agree to undergo this extra lesson twice a week? Why is that man cutting back now?

"But, I had finished the task yesterday. Should I leave it here or wait for our next meeting?"

"I can take it if you want. I'll be back in the office soon and give it to Mister Black."

Kaylee thought for a moment to think about it. She could have let this woman bring her assignment results, and Declan could immediately check her work. But at the same time, she felt doubtful.

She understood that Declan wanted to keep his identity as Black Moon a secret, and Kaylee did not know whether Declan's assistant knew Black Moon's identity or not. If it turned out that this woman didn't know Black Moon, it would be safer if she didn't leave her assignment notes with that woman.

"Oh, there's no need. I'll hand it over myself when he comes here."

Cassidy smiled slightly at the answer before excuse herself to return to the office.

After the woman came back out of this office, Kaylee sighed in disappointment. She was eager to correct her yesterday's mistake and show the man her enthusiasm in learning under Declan's guidance. But it seemed that the man has been angry and is now cutting back on their extra class schedule.

Well, this additional schedule was just Declan's suggestion and was not part of her program course. And that man still made time during his busy life as a CEO at his company as well as a lecturer on campus just to provide additional classes for Kaylee.

She shouldn't be surprised if the man would be angry because Kaylee didn't take the lesson seriously in her study and didn't do the assigned task.

Kaylee herself would also feel annoyed and irritated if her orchestra members never practice at home and give a bad performance during group practice.

Kaylee put the books and stationery back in her bag with a languid movement before leaving this room.

Her NYA orchestra practice began at five in the evening, so she had two hours to rest. However, Kaylee was not a girl who likes to sit still while doing nothing, so she decided to come to Wendy's apartment.

Fortunately, Wendy was at home and had no schedule to meet with anyone, so Kaylee could freely confide in her best friend.

She also told about Declan and Jacob, who suddenly confessed their feelings to her. And now, she couldn't help but assumed that Declan had considered her as his lover due to his bold flirting. The man also did skinship too much, even though Kaylee had never responded to his confession.

Wendy laughed at Kaylee's expression made her unable to hold back from teasing her.

"So, which one will you choose? Declan Black, who looks mature and will treat you like this world's queen, or Jacob, the young man below you who can always raise your mood?"

"Stop teasing me. I'm serious here."

"So am I," argued Wendy.

"Is it possible for someone to like two men at the same time?"

"Is it possible for someone to like two fruits at the same time?"

"Wendy,"

"Kaylee," imitated Wendy with a light chuckle. "Your question is the same as which one I prefer between apples or grapes."

"You like both," declared Kaylee making Wendy laugh.

"Exactly. Apples taste sweet and boost my mood, while grapes make me drunk and forget all my problems."

"One will not get drunk while eating grapes."

"Tsk. It was only parables." Wendy rolled her eyes at her extremely innocent best friend. "So it shouldn't come as a surprise that you like two men at the same time. Plus, you've never been in love before, and all the guys who approach you are jerks. Now when two people tried to woo you with sincerity and express love for you, you couldn't help but skipped a beat at them. Am I right?"

Kaylee nodded her head excitedly with her sparkling eyes looking at her friend in amazement. How could Wendy understand what was in her heart? The girl seemed to be able to read all of Kaylee's thoughts right now.

"Then what should I do now? I can't possibly keep going on a date with both of them. It made me like a playgirl." she groaned in disgust while scrunching her nose.

Wendy giggled at her innocent friend's remark and embraced her shoulder while soothing her anxious friend.

"Don't worry. You will find what your heart wanted over time."

Kaylee tilted her head curiously while waiting for the continuation of her best friend's sentence.

"Right now, you may not be able to tell the difference, but when you spend your time with them and find out what kind of character they are, that's when you will be able to tell the difference."

"How so?"

"It's hard to explain in words. It could be that they are not the people you want either. So, just enjoy their approach and go on a date with both of them." exclaimed Wendy in a teasing tone.

"Wh... WHAT?!"

"Who is dating?" Suddenly Nick's low voice was heard, and now the young man approached them, releasing his backpack carelessly.

"Nick, you got home on time. Right now, Kaylee is being courted by two charming men."

"Two? Please, don't tell me it was that freak..."

"No." interrupted Wendy before her brother finished his words. "It was her college friend and the dreamy bachelor, Mister Declan Black."

"Ooo..." was the short comment from Wendy's brother.

Kaylee did not mind that Wendy told her brother about the bizarre situation she was in. The three had opened up to each other and revealed their deepest secrets that they had never told anyone.

That's why Kaylee didn't feel embarrassed at all when Nick found out that two men were courting her, let alone she liked both of them.

"If you were me, which would you choose?"

"I'll be dating both." was the obvious answer from the shameless young man.

"You are indeed my brother." Wendy patted her brother's shoulder softly, making Kaylee puzzled.

Why does she feel that being friends with this pair of siblings is a bad influence on her life?

Yup, they were a bad influence for her.

"But, Kaylee. You are not me, and you are not the type to date some random guys at the same time. If you want to choose a lover, choose someone who makes you feel comfortable. You will suffer if you get into a relationship with someone you don't feel comfortable with."

Wendy nodded in agreement with her brother's words. "Wow, my brother is already an adult, huh." teased her while ruffling Nick's hair.

"Tch! Am I a kid? In this world, the only one who still treats me like a child is you alone."

"Ho? So you don't like it? Huh?" Wendy strangled her brother's neck and increasingly ruffled her brother's hair, making Nick wriggle and whined at Kaylee.

"Kaylee, save me. My sister is going crazy."

Kaylee laughed at the interaction of the two while persuading Wendy to let go of her brother. Then, Kaylee decided to go to the theater not to be late in following routine rehearsals.

"Wait a minute. I've prepared ginger tea for you." Nick got up from his seat and went to the kitchen area to get the ginger tea he had made this morning.

After that, he heated it for a while then gave it to Kaylee to make the girl smile happily.

"Wow, you still remember?"

"Of course. I've memorized your routine schedule."

Kaylee smiled widely as she accepted the warm drink and drank it until the last drop.

"Thanks. See you later."

When Kaylee left their apartment, Wendy looked at her brother with an apprehensive smile.

"What?"

"Isn't your caring too much?? You even still remember her period schedule."

"…"

"Nick. She is Kaylee."

"I know."

"If you don't take care of it soon, you won't be able to step back again."

"I..."

"Hey." Nick's words were immediately interrupted when Kaylee's bell-like voice suddenly assault their ears, making the pair of brothers and sisters turn to Kaylee anxiously.

Did Kaylee hear their conversation?

"Nick, I forgot to tell you something. There will be a music battle next week, and my band chooses your song. Can you teach me how to play your guitar solo part?"

"Sure." Nick's answer made Kaylee grin broadly, revealing rows of perfect white teeth.

"You're the best. Thanks!"

"…"

"…"

Wendy sighed, realizing that her brother didn't look away from the door.
