Chapter 46: Chapter 46

Amy loved the way his lips felt against hers, it was unimaginably soft against hers, so she deepened the kiss to have a better taste of him. His left arm was firmly wrapped around her small waist to hold her in place while his right hand was gently caressing her cheek as his tongue explored every inch of her mouth. Amy could feel the butterflies in her stomach dancing for joy from this mind blowing kiss she was sharing with the love of her life.

Amy and Bryan are currently on a date in the VIP section of a cinema. Bryan had booked the entire place for their date, to celebrate their six months anniversary. Amy who was so excited about being alone with Bryan once again, completely ignored the movie they were watching after thirty minutes and sat comfortably on Bryan’s lap, distracting him with hot kisses on his neck which brought them to their present action.

“You know we came here to watch a movie, right?” Bryan whispered against her lips, his hot minty breath hovering over hers.

Amy felt her entire body tingle with excitement just from the sound of his deep husky voice. The amazing things this man does to her.

“Forget the movie, I’ve missed you” She whispered back and captured his lower lip in her mouth.

The kiss was slowly getting heated when Amy’s phone suddenly began to ring, interrupting them. Amy mentally face palmed for being so foolish by keeping her phone on. This wouldn’t have happened if she switched it off like she had planned. God help her if she was interrupted by her best friend, Mandy. She would certainly pay for what she just did.

She gave Bryan a shy smile and quietly stood up from his lap. After taking her ringing phone out of her purse, she said a polite ‘excuse me’ and walked a few distance away from Bryan to pick the call.

Amy took a deep breath, preparing to scold her best friend when her eyes caught the name on her phone screen. It wasn’t her best friend calling, it was Kyle. She immediately composed herself before answering the call.

“Hello?” She quietly said.

“Hello, Amy. I was about giving up. Were you busy? Did I interrupt something?” Kyle’s deep concerned voice asked.

“No, no. Not at all” Amy replied with a nervous laugh.

“Okay… I just wanted to apologize for the other day. I acted like a total jerk”

“Kyle, that happened like two months ago”

“Yeah. I know, but I haven’t found the time to give a proper apology… When I came over to your house later that day, you weren’t home. I didn’t get to see you to apologize”

Amy immediately felt bad for her actions. She had totally forgotten to thank him for the gifts he got her on Valentine’s day because she was too busy thinking about what she would’ve done with Bryan that day if her dad hadn’t shown up. Now she gets it, Kyle thinks she’s mad at him for cancelling lunch at the last minute.

“Kyle, forgive my manners. I’m so sorry for not saying thank you for the wonderful gifts you sent… I know you think I’m mad at you but I’m not, I’ve totally forgotten about that day” She quickly explained herself, feeling guilty for unknowingly acting like a brat.

‘Kyle is a sweet guy’ she thought to herself. He didn’t want to come out straight by telling her that he didn’t get a call or text from her after the gifts he sent and his apology note, probably because he thinks he’s the one in the wrong and he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings.

“Hearing this from you is such a relief, but..” he paused, making Amy wonder what he was going to say.

“… I still want to make it up to you”

“Seriously, that’s not necessary. I told you it’s okay. We’re good” She tried to assure him, already getting impatient to end the call and return to her date.

“I know, but.. I wanna see you in person. That was the point of the last meeting”

“Right. I totally forgot” Amy chuckled in reply.

This is so weird. Why is Kyle still insisting on hanging out with her? Did Mandy tell him about her crush? No no, her best friend wouldn’t betray her. He has never had a problem seeing her only when she goes to visit, so why is he acting differently now? She had no answers to these questions, so she quit trying to find one.

“How does lunch on Friday sound?... This time, I’ve cleared my schedule, so nothing would go wrong”

Amy couldn’t help but smile at that. That is so thoughtful of him, to clear his work schedule just for her. She glanced at Bryan, who was watching the movie, wondering if he will be okay with her cancelling their Friday plans.

“Lunch on Friday sounds promising” She eventually replied after giving it a thought.

‘Bryan is a very understanding man, so he won’t have a problem cancelling their meeting on Friday’ she tried to convince herself, to help ease the guilt she was currently feeling.

“Friday it is. Thanks Amy” Kyle sounded relieved, Amy could tell from his voice. This made her happy with herself.

“What time do we meet?” She then asked.

“Let’s make it 1pm this time. I’ll come pick you up at your place”

“I hope I don’t regret this” She joked.

“You won’t, I promise” He replied with excitement in his voice.

After saying their goodbyes, Amy ended the call and returned to her date. This time, she didn’t bother sitting on his lap as Kyle’s phone call had already ruined the moment.

“Who was that?” Bryan suddenly asked.

Amy didn’t know why, but Bryan’s question made her nervous. It’s not like she did anything wrong, or did she? Either way, she couldn’t stop herself from feeling that way.

“Uh. That was Kyle” She smiled to hide her nervousness.

“The guy who was supposed to be your date on Valentine’s day?”

Amy tried to bring out words but nothing was forthcoming. How did he remember that? She wondered stealing a glance at him from under her brows. She noticed his eyes suddenly darken, but before she could make out if he was angry, it was gone. Did she really see that or was she just imagining it?

Amy’s silence was making Bryan angry. He never got to ask her why she didn’t tell him about her date with Kyle the other day because he didn’t want to make any assumptions. He wanted to trust Amy and didn’t want to harm their relationship over something insignificant, but her silence was making him think otherwise.

“What does he want?” He decided to let go of his previous question, as Amy didn’t seem willing to give him an answer.

Amy took a sip from her soda, thinking of a reply. Should she tell him the truth? Or should she brush it off and come up with an excuse later for cancelling their Friday plans. If she tells him Kyle called to ask her to have lunch with him on Friday, she’s scared that he’d think something is going on between them because of the way her dad made it sound the other day. But on second thoughts, she doesn’t want to keep things from him.

“He wants to hang out” Amy replied in a small voice, when Bryan was about to drop the subject.

“He wants to make up for the other day” She added, nervously playing with the straw in her soda drink.

“Was he your ex?”

Bryan’s question took Amy by surprise, as she wasn’t expecting him to ask that. She knew he was going to have doubts, but she didn’t think he would actually ask such a question.

Bryan on the other hand, wanted to know who Kyle really was, or is to Amy. His best friend wouldn’t sound so confident if there was nothing going on between them.

“No. He’s not my ex… I told you you’re my first boyfriend” Amy was a bit offended that Bryan didn’t trust her when she said he was her first boyfriend.

Why would he think that she would lie about such a thing?

“I’m sorry I asked that. I was just curious” He apologized, tucking her hair behind her ear.

“He’s just a friend” She stated, gazing into his gorgeous blue orbs.

“I believe you” Bryan said, placing a light kiss on her soft lips.

Amy’s eyes brightened after that and she made herself comfortable once again on his lap, so they could continue from where they left off.
