Kyle sighed heavily while scratching his head.
He had not told Kay about this stupid infatuation he was having over the unknown girl, Sari. It felt utterly ridiculous and he figured it would pass soon. He put Sari into a little box and set it aside, finding that it was rather interesting that he could ignore it.
As he went about his duties at the store, he went through the differences he was experiencing as a guy, and as a girl.
Previously, as a girl, he would overthink a lot of things. Initially, he put it down to the fact that he had been an extremely insecure person with low self-esteem.
In this life, he was, to put it bluntly, living the dream. So he didn't overthink things but naturally accepted the effect he had on people. Played up to it a lot, too.
Still, the experiences with Randall - and Sarah - opened up his eyes to the fact that he was rather dense in some areas.
He sighed again, wondering what the Elite Five were up to, and how their love lives were like.
Sam, he figured, would be the first to tie the knot with Betty. At the very least, do something to make it more solid and confirmed. He seemed the type that would not change his mind once he fell, and Kyle could see how deep his feelings for Betty was.
Ali was a wild card. Despite the deep love between the two, it was hard to say whether it could survive when they have a difference of faith, or opinion. He did the best that he could by introducing Mr. Sharif to Ali, to help guide him.
As for Xing Han, now that had been completely unexpected. It was only when he was about to leave did he find out that Big Bro Nic had deep feelings for Xing Han. When Kyle thought about it, he felt that Big Bro Nic would be an ideal partner - so long as Xing Han wasn't opposed to it.
He wondered whether he should have warned Big Bro Nic that Xing Han was engaged. He didn't say a thing for he felt that was something Xing Han would need to settle himself.
If Kyle had known from the start when Big Bro Nic became interested in Xing Han, he would certainly have told him. However, he could plainly see that Big Bro was already in it deep. So anything Kyle could have said would most likely have been useless.
As for Kay. Well, there was no one that interested her yet. As her brother-cum-mother (he had to admit that to himself), he didn't think any guy was good enough for her.
But, he would respect her choice. He hoped that he would be able to act civil when the time comes.
So far, the clown Mark appears harmless. Kay had assured him that she had Mark under control, so he did not need to worry.
He had to admit, she did have things under control. He smiled widely when he recalled what she had told him had happened the other day.
Mini Flashback ?
Kay was walking out of the library, having borrowed a book she needed for her assignment. Just then, Mark came over, swinging his arm around her shoulder playfully.
Without a word, Kay took his hand that was on her shoulder, gripped it in a certain hold, and turned to face him. She gave a sweet smile, as she put her hands on his shoulder.
Mark gave a huge grin, then his eyes widened.
In one swift movement, she had placed her nice rounded behind on his hips. Before he could appreciate that softness, he found himself flying in the air as she flipped him over her shoulder.
He groaned as his back hit the floor hard, and she had her hand around his neck, squeezing for a second before slapping his head.
"Don't touch me," Kay said, with a raised eyebrow and flipped her hair.
Even though he was in pain on the ground, that sight made his eyes all starry-eyed. Lance, in the meantime, gave a standing ovation (though he was already standing, ignore the minor details).
"That was fantastic!!" he gushed, "You did such a wonderful flip. Ever think about joining our judo club?"
"Hey, I'm the one in pain down here," Mark said as he got up, wincing.
Lance scoffed as rolled his eyes and ignored him, turning to Kay, "It's obvious from the move just now that you're really skilled. We can use you."
Kay shook her head, "No thanks. I don't have the time."
"Ah, a pity," Lance said with sadness on his face.
As Mark stood up, Lance did the same move on Mark, making him land on the ground again.
"What did you do that for?!" Mark shouted angrily.
Lance shook his head, "Damn. Not as smooth as Kay's. And I've been doing this for ages."
"What the fuck, Lance?! I told you I'm not your practice dummy!"
"Language, Mark, language," Lance tutted at Mark, "We have a lady here."
Kay just laughed.
.?.?.?
What Kyle didn't know was that his smile was seen by Sari, who became completely captivated.
She did not know what was it about Rex that made her gravitate towards him, but figured it was because he cut this really sorrowful figure. Like the poor abandoned kittens outside.
Auntie Ramona told her that Rex lived by himself, and she had agreed to hire him because she pitied him. He was a moody boy, she said, but had the heart of gold.
It was that high appraisal that made Sari pay attention to Rex and found that it was true. Soon, watching him from afar became a hobby and a favourite pastime of hers.
Was she becoming a stalker? She certainly felt like one, but she wasn't following him everywhere. She just liked to watch him until she gathered the courage to talk to him.
That's okay, right?
