After getting ready Sarah walked straight towards her kitchen where Kyle was.

  "You cooked a lot," Sarah commented, looking at the table. Kyle simply smiled and pulled a chair for her making her heart drum.

  'What's with him. It's making me uncomfortable and happy at the same time,' she silently thought before sitting down on her chair.

  Kyle went the extra mile and he also put food on her plate.

  "It's okay Kyle. Focus on your own plate, I can manage getting food on my own," she voiced out timidly with a blushing face.

  "Hmm, sorry. You must be flustered with all this. I honestly felt uneasy when you left so suddenly last night so I thought I might have scared you by bringing marriage out of the blue when I haven't even wooed you properly." Kyle said, not bothering to beat around the bush.

  Sarah gulped as the word 'woo' repeatedly echoed in her ears.

  "So I decided to do things the way they should normally be done… Let's take each step slowly one at a time. I promise you I will behave during this time and will not uhm… do… I mean… I will try my best to… uhm not to… touch you… unless we are officially married.

  I don't want to say sorry about what happened last night because I'm honestly not sorry. I did that because I like you and I want you. So please give me a chance to show you my sincerity," Kyle added, making Sarah really speechless.

  Sarah smiled and whispered, "Hey, let's eat first okay?"

  Kyle smiled back and replied, "Yeah right… I'm sorry it's just that I wanted to get it off my chest so that you wouldn't misunderstand anything."

  It was one of the qualities Sarah loved about Kyle. He was straightforward and was vocal about what he really thinks and feels.

  She smiled and said, "It's okay Kyle. We can talk after eating, over a cup of coffee later. The food will get cold."

  Kyle nodded and began eating. After eating, Sarah got up to clean the table and told Kyle, "Go to the living room and watch T.V. as you wait for me since I won't take long. I'll prepare some coffee for us."

  Kyle did as he was told and as soon as he left, Sarah exhaled loudly. Something had definitely changed as she felt more conscious about her appearance and behaviour unlike before when she did not care how she looked in front of Kyle.

  She quickly prepared two cups of coffee and checked herself up before she went out to the living area. Kyle was sitting comfortably on the couch and immediately helped her with the tray as soon as he saw her.

  "How long have you been living on your own?" Kyle asked.

  "After I passed the licensure exam I asked my parents to allow me to move out. My father did not want me to live on my own so it took me one month to convince him. He allowed Abram to move out easily but he gave me a hard time before he agreed to let me live on my own," Sarah answered, recalling that her father said that he would personally bring her back home if he found out that she was not behaving.

  Good thing her mother liked Kyle so she did not tell him about how she and Abram met Kyle in her apartment.

  "Well, that's a given since you are his only princess. I heard that fathers are more protective and biased towards their daughters than their sons," Kyle commented and Sarah nodded in agreement.

  She couldn't actually focus on the conversation as she was feeling nervous about what she was about to say and she hated it because she was not usually like that. She knew she had to answer Kyle…


  She looked at Kyle and said, "About what you said last night… I agree to be in a relationship with you. Let's take things slow because I don't want to marry in a rush. Marriage is something serious and not to be taken lightly. I still believe that the important foundation of marriage is love."

  She was startled when Kyle suddenly grabbed her hands and kissed them.

  "Thank you, Sarah. Yes, you're right because love and commitment is the most important foundation of marriage. Let's work things out and I'm sure that upon knowing each other more we will both get there," Kyle seconded.

  'I'm already there Kyle, I really think I love you already because I gave myself to you without doubt,' Sarah commented inside her head.

  Her face was blushing as Kyle touched her cheek.

  Kyle on the other hand kept on chanting inside his head, 'Restrain… Control…'

  He wanted to pull Sarah and kiss her senselessly but he had promised that he would not touch her. Last night both of them were under the influence of alcohol although they were sober. He did not want Sarah to misinterpret him as someone who only wanted her body so he must behave himself no matter what.

  Sarah was grateful that her phone rang since she found an excuse to pull her hand back from Kyle. She felt weird when he kissed her hand and she started imagining him kissing her arms then her neck… lips…


  'Oh my… I'm a pervert,' she scolded inwardly before she excused herself to answer the call. It was Kenzie who wanted to see her for a very important matter.

  "What happened Kenzie?" Sarah asked worriedly.

  "It's regarding the company. Do you think you can bring another lawyer you trust with you? I need your help in completing a task and you will need a team to do things confidentially. I honestly did not want to go to Liam's firm because I don't want Daryl getting involved in this matter… Let's meet so that I can elaborate everything okay?" Kenzie answered from another line.

  "Alright. I will bring a colleague of mine. Tell me what time and where you want to meet…" Sarah replied then soon the call ended.

  "It's my friend Kenzie. I'm her family lawyer and she's asking me to meet her as soon as possible." Sarah explained to Kyle when she sat back beside him.

  "Oh, I should leave then," Kyle answered.

  "Do you have plans today?" Sarah asked to which Kyle shook his head.

  "Do you want to come with me? She actually asked me to bring someone I could trust saying I alone won't be able to handle what she would ask me to do," Sarah stated.

  "Oh, sure. Shall we go now?"

  Sarah nodded and said, "I won't take long. I will just change…"

  Kyle smiled and watched her walk back to her room. He sighed… A sigh of relief. He was so grateful that Sarah was willing to give both of them a chance for a new beginning. A new love he was confident would blossom soon.
