Kyle went to take a shower, he wasn’t planning to go anywhere but he also knew how important it was to stay hygienic considering what they had just done.
Jane gave him an experience that he didn’t know was still possible because he could give some emotional attachment to these sexual activities, unlike his experience with Calista.
Kyle was glad that Jane came but realized that he had to treat her delicately.
He wanted to take her out but knew he couldn’t get too attached as this was a recipe for disaster.
They weren’t official but he admitted that he liked her even though he knew it might give the wrong impression.
Thankfully, the shower didn’t turn off midway through his shower this time.
Kyle stepped out and saw that Jane was fast asleep.
She must still be tired and he couldn’t blame her, he didn’t know what to do at that moment but his life was in all having a purpose outside of himself.
But Kyle’s phone soon beeped, he looked down at it and realized it was a text from Ella.
“She must be worried about Jane,” Kyle thought to himself but he decided to step outside for some fresh air which he called her.
“Hello Ella, how’re you?” Kyle began the conversation, Ella was surprised he called because she didn’t want to interrupt whatever he had going on with Jane if she was still there.
[[Kyle, hi! I’m good, I’m just a bit worried about Jane,]] Ella confessed.
There was no point in lying, especially in a situation like this.
“She’s asleep. She ate far too much,” Kyle responded, omitting the sexual act that they engaged in.
That wasn’t his story to tell because he knew that Jane would eventually alert Ella about the act that just transpired.
[[She always couldn’t say no to food.]] Ella responded with a giggle. She was glad that Jane had found someone else outside of her to help experience life.
Ella knew she was hurting Jane even though Jane had never implied it.
Ella was aware that Jane felt responsible for her and if anything should happen to her, there was no doubt that Jane would blame herself so she was glad that her best friend now had a support system.
Ella didn’t know what else to say, she wasn’t mentally prepared for a conversation.
“Your voice… It sounds strange,” Kyle pointed out.
Once again, showing his observant nature.
[[Haha! I just have a little cold.]] Ella lied because the last thing she wanted was to be scolded by Kyle.
“Are you sure?” Kyle asked sternly, giving her a chance to come clean if she was lying.
[[I promise you, I’m good.]] Ella reassured him but she was worried about one thing.
[Hey Kyle…]] Ella continued with a tinge of hesitance lingering in her voice.
“Yeah?” Kyle responded.
[[Be careful of Mike.]] Ella warned. Ella knew that Jane could take care of herself but Jane was a lady who would rather believe the good in people and this makes her naive to a great degree because evil surfaces in the most unlikely places.
“Mike? Is there something I should know?” Kyle questioned.
[[That is right. He has feelings for Jane but she never reciprocated; there is something that you need to know.]] Ella said. She was hesitant to reveal this information.
“What is it, Ella?” Kyle asked, but he was beginning to sound concerned because he hoped that Jane had told him everything he needed to know.
[[Mike has been arrested for sexual assault in the past but the charges were dropped..]] Ella stopped herself from revealing what she truly wanted to say.
“You think he did it, don’t you?” Kyle asked.
[[Yes… But Jane, she chose to believe otherwise.]] Ella pointed out.
Kyle’s instincts were spot on, he knew that there was something wrong with Mike but he didn’t know it was this severe.
“Hahaha! That does sound like her but she is safe. I can promise you that I won’t let anything happen to her,” Kyle reassured Ella but he was glad that Ella revealed this piece of information to him.
[[Thank you Kyle… For everything, I don’t know how you found Jane but I’m glad that it was you who found her.]] Ella showed her gratitude.
Kyle smiled, he didn’t know that his relationship with Jane held such significance but then again, it was because of him that this was possible.
Ella had a shot at a musical career because of him and this was something that she wasn’t going to take for granted.
“Thank you, Ella, this means a lot coming from you. I have to go now, I can’t have her wondering where I ran off to,” Kyle informed Ella and she chuckled at the other end.
[[You’re right, she is a klutz after all.]] Ella teased her best friend even though it could be interpreted differently. There was no reason for her to be jealous of her friend when she was benefitting from the relationship as well.
The phone call came to an end but the smile on Kyle’s face slowly disappeared.
He knew that Mike was a nuisance but knew he had to be more careful around him.
There was no telling what he would do to Jane but he wasn’t going to give him a chance to hurt her.
Kyle heaved a frustrated sigh because he knew he had to take care of Mike but he saw how strong Mike looked.
If it did escalate into a physical brawl, he would be beaten to a fucking pulp but they had to be other means a man of his status could take care of Mike.
“Mike, I think it is time for you to go,” Kyle thought to himself, placing his phone in his pocket but not before checking if Cassandra had unblocked him.
He didn’t know why he was checking to begin with considering it was for the best that he was blocked and it didn’t matter either way because she hadn’t.
Kyle found himself wanting that forbidden fruit now more than ever.
