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
"Something in you... took my breath away and in response, something in me... allowed myself to be smitten by you." Sure, for someone like Gabrielle Taylor, she had heard similar sweet words before, but seeing through Kyle's fierce brown eyes, she felt his heartfelt confession. Her heart roared with excitement, just gawking at his athletic face, his symmetrical jawlines, and his beautiful eyes. She could not help but inwardly compliment, 'Gosh, he is just so handsome.' It was another moment of just staring at each other until she noticed him look down on her lips. Unknowingly, she bit her lower lip as a reaction to the shift of his gaze. In response, Kyle leaned closer to her. She took a deep breath right before he sealed her lips. She did not know how it happened, but they were back to kissing each other again! After a good portion of his lips smothering against hers, and their flavors immensely exchanged!
"You look good, Miss Taylor," Hank complimented her before she got out of the car. She smiled at him, knowing he was trying to calm her nerves. Coming to the Wright Diamond Corporation was totally different than the last. This time, she was walking in as Kyle's girlfriend. While taking her steps, she looked down to study her new attire, the same clothes that Kate had given her. Not only that, she had a new perfume that day, one Samantha Wright had gifted her. She had a copper-colored trouser on, a white lace-material top, and a mustard three-forth jacket covering her torso. Her silky caramel hair flowed down freely below her shoulders. With just a light make-up covering her face, Gabrielle already looked divine. Making her way to the front desk, she said to the concierge, "Ummm.. excuse me. I'm here to see... Mister Wright." "Do you have an appointment, Miss? What's your name?" The lady asked.
