'Oh, no. What did I do wrong?' Gabrielle asked herself in silence, watching as Kyle often avoided her gaze as they ate.
Earlier, Kyle was being so comforting, hugging her and caressing her back. Yet, now, he seemed to be giving her the cold shoulders.
Still, despite his sudden change in temperament, he kept reminding her, "Gaby, you need to eat more. Drink a lot of water since you got soaked in the rain."
After gulping down her food, she answered, "I - I wasn't under the rain that long - Achoo!"
Her own words were cut by a loud sneeze, and Gabrielle wound up, excusing herself to get a tissue.
"Well, seems like that isn't so true," Kyle answered with a frown.
After they both finished their meals, Kyle took it upon himself to call the hotel staff and have their plates taken. He let Gabrielle go to her room and take a good night's sleep.
While utterly bothered by how Kyle was acting, Gabri
Letting out a heavy sigh, Gabrielle checked herself one last time in the mirror. Her small and adorable face turned from one side to the other, making sure she looked her best. "Okay... Here we go." She was going to school that day and she wore just her classic jeans, but on top, she had her favorite blouse and jacket on. However, to achieve a better picture with Kyle, she had light make-up on. Gabrielle shook her hands before finally walking out of her room. It was in the living room that she found Kyle, already in his suit, smirking as she took every step. Yes. Gabrielle Taylor surrendered to Kyle Wright's demand of them, taking a picture together. This time, however, using his own phone. Her face turned bright red, and she was pretty sure the warmth reached her ears, seeing Kyle's grand facade. Yes. She was just a college girl, taking a picture with a superstar-like. 'The world is so unfair,' she silent
The day before. Sarah Kate: [Kyle, Mom asked me to fetch you. She wants you to join us for dinner. Didn't you get her texts at all? You have not been answering her calls.] Kyle grimaced, seeing his younger sister's message. He had been avoiding going to the Wright mansion, primarily because he wanted to spend time with Gabrielle, but as it turns out, his mother made plans for him. He shook his head and replied back: [Wait for me in the lobby. Give me half an hour, will you, Kate?] After putting on his coat and his watch, he made his way to the living room, eagerly waiting for Gabrielle. He glanced at the living room balcony, grinning at the recollection of Gabrielle taking a picture of him earlier that day. Now, more than ever, he was sure, Warren Foster has now been omitted from Gabrielle's heart! At the sight of Gabrielle, walking slowly toward the sitting area, the corner of his lips curved up into a teasing grin.
Back to the present. Kyle did not get to return to his penthouse due to an important discussion with his father about business. Moreover, his mother asked him non-stop about Gabrielle! Samantha Wright was ready to go home with him at the penthouse, just to meet the girl that had awakened Kyle's manhood! Thus, Kyle opted to stay overnight at his parent's mansion, resting in his old room. He merely sent Gabrielle a text, telling her he will have breakfast with her. It was nearly six in the morning that he awoke, sneaking out of the enormous estate while his parents were still asleep. Arriving at his penthouse and making his way to the kitchen, Kyle could smell the sweet scent of roasted coffee. He sped his steps, only to find Gabrielle, looking down at his cup, seemingly avoiding his gaze. "Good morning, Gaby." After taking a seat, he asked, "How was your day at school, Gaby?" Kyle's eyes fix
While being guided by Kyle behind her back, Gabrielle placed her hand on her chest. She could literally feel her heart pounding against it. 'Why on earth did Kyle bring me to his parent's house? What for? Aren't we supposed to meet his girlfriend?' Her mind pondered around these thoughts. As they were standing there by the mansion's vast door, she could feel herself chickening out and running towards the gate. Just as she was thinking this, the door opened, and a woman in her fifties came out. She had beautiful blue eyes that sparkled against the lights. Her golden curls flowing down to her shoulders, and she had a body like a young lady in her thirties. Instantly, Gabrielle silently expressed, 'Wow!' Gabrielle observed as the woman smiled at her and cheerfully asked, "You must be Gaby?!" The woman embraced her lovingly, like she was an old acquaintance, and pulled away after five long seconds. She heard the wom
"Mwah! Beautiful! Beautiful!" Gabrielle received not only hugs from the old lady but kisses on her cheeks. A smile easily manifested on her face when Kyle's grandma lifted her chin and said, "Young and beautiful. My grandson sure knows how to choose." "This is grandma Amanda," introduced Kate. "She's Dad's mom. You'll meet my other grandma when they will be back from their vacation." Now, with all four of them settled on the bed, Amanda inquired, "Now, child, tell me about yourself. What do you do? Your parents and where do you live?" Gabrielle's eyes widened. She pursed her lips, looking at the other two ladies, eagerly waiting for her answer. "Um, I'm still studying," Gabrielle answered delicately. "I - I could not finish my degree earlier because I was working at the same time." "Oh, I like a hard worker," remarked Samantha, sitting behind Amanda. Gabrielle looked down with a smile, thinking Samantha's reac
"I desire you." Kyle's admission was crystal clear to her and his actions; bringing her to their familial home, spoke more than his words. Sure enough, Gabrielle's heart was racing, especially since Kyle had practically confessed against her ear. More than just the declaration; his hot breath and manly scent were enough to make her uneasy. With face flushed, she turned to Kyle, and he caressed her cheeks, proposing, "Let's eat now, Gaby." While starting with their dinner, Gabrielle occasionally answered questions from the Wrights, especially from Ethan and Daniel Wright. Kaleb Wright was a mere observer, but frequently complimented her at her responses. For the most part, they covered her studies and her future career. At first, Gabrielle was reluctant to admit that she wanted to be a model and an actress. She worried that the great Ethan Wright would look down on those in the entertainment industry. Kyle's fath
"Don't forget these!" Kate Wright rushed to the door while Kyle's family bid goodbye to Gabrielle. She was bringing with her several shopping bags containing gifts! Humbly accepting the presents, Gabrielle smiled and said, "Thank you so much for these. I've... I have never received so many gifts in my life." "Awww." Kyle's mother sighed. She promptly embraced Samantha and said, "No, Gaby... Thank you. You have no idea how you brought me so much joy." "Ahem," Samantha faintly said, "And relief." Gabrielle did not fully understand, but she simply delighted in the blessings she received that day. More than just the gifts, she felt she gained new friends and maybe even... a family. At ten in the evening, the ride back to the penthouse was smooth and quick. The entire time, Gabrielle kept smiling, thinking back at her experience with Kyle's family. She also frequently turned to Kyle while he often held her hand. She felt like sh
It had been days since Kyle Wright has been mulling over the idea of kissing Gabrielle and that night; he thought about it further, seeing more of her smiles and how she positively reacted to her family's welcome. When Gabrielle allowed him to touch her and hold her hand, he knew she felt the same way. While he had no experience with women, it did not take a genius to recognize that Gabrielle admired him the same way. Even if it was already late in the evening, standing in front of him in his penthouse living room, Kyle thought she looked gorgeous. Her elegant face, her slender frame, her kissable lips, and her overall allure were just calling out to him! When Kyle finally kissed Gabrielle, he sensed silence engulf him, and the only thing he could hear was the beating of his heart, her breath against his, and the smacking of their lips! He loved her taste, her scent, and her cute receptions to his kiss. His brother do
