Chapter 197 Starting Over (1/2)

As Kyle walked into view, Agent Oreo came bouncing over with an extremely 'worried' look on his face as he shouted, ”Kyle! Are you okay?!”

He began patting Kyle down to make sure there as no injuries (all for show, of course).

”Yeah, not a problem,” Kyle answered, ”Midnight and I are friends now.”

Sam came over and handed the mineral water bottle to Kyle wordlessly. His eyes full of questions but he refrained from asking them. All he knew was that Kyle had landed into the backyard of Samantha Greene - who had also been naked. Or close to it.

Kyle took the water gratefully and started rinsing his mouth. He couldn't spit out the water as that was rather unhygienic to do so, thus he could only swirl the water in his mouth and swallow it. At least the worst of the taste of the suntan lotion was gone.

When he had first started on the fingers for Samantha, all he did was hold his breath. Since the sense of smell is strongly associated with the tongue, so long as you hold your breath, you wouldn't taste what you're eating. Once you start breathing again, though, the aftertaste will still linger in your mouth.*

He then started washing his fingers, glad to get that part cleaned. Sam's eyebrows shot up at this, wondering even more furiously just what Kyle had been up to. His hands didn't look dirty yet the way Kyle was rubbing at his fingertips and hands made Sam imagine ... quite a lot of things.

Little did he know that he was quite correct in most of that thought.

Chad and Mark quickly came over as well, as Kyle was handing the reins over to Larry. However, Midnight refused to move from Kyle's side, ignoring the tug of Larry to bring her over to him. She dug in her hooves and trotted over back to Kyle, nudging him at the back of his head.

Kyle turned to face her and stroked the bridge of her nose, putting his forehead on it and said to her, ”Go and follow Larry back. You need to rest.”

Midnight snorted and turned, obediently heading back to her cabin and Larry had to practically run to keep up with her.

Chad watched all of this in shock.

”Glad to see that you're okay,” Chad began hesitantly, but sincerely.

Kyle could see the regret in Chad's eyes, and that his attitude appeared to be much better than before.

Chad had gotten the fright of his life when Midnight had run off with Kyle on her back. Worse, he got word that Midnight had trespassed onto Mansion BMX's compound. He had visions of Kyle's body being taken away in a stretcher, his career going down the drain and the repercussions of the whole thing.

When he got word that the Young Mistress had Kyle, another wave of panic hit him.

The next 15 minutes had been the longest 15 minutes of his life.

Getting the 'okay' to shoot some parts of the film here had been a great opportunity and one that was obtained through various channels and pulling lots of favours (plus giving them). If the Young Mistress decided Kyle was a pest ... Chad had to actually change clothes as the first pair had been utterly drenched in his sweat.

Finding out that Kyle was released unharmed had made almost made him faint from relief.

Mark, who was not privy to all of the dangers of Mansion BMX, was worried for another reason. He was the one that brought Kyle over and if anything happened to the Smith Heir ...

Chad looked at Kyle seriously and offered his hand, saying, ”Congratulations. You passed the screen test. Your agent can talk with our representatives regarding the contract.”

Kyle looked at him, his hand and said, ”I never said I wanted the part.”

”What?” Chad exclaimed, looking at Kyle in surprise, bringing his hand down awkwardly, ”Then what was that screen test for?”

”I was interested but frankly, you haven't exactly been forthcoming nor given me any information about the whole thing,” Kyle pointed out, ”All you did was assume that I'm here to beg for a role. I am here as a favour to Mark and felt that, at the very least, I would listen.”

”Look, I don't really need this and obviously, you don't really want me either,” Kyle continued, ”That screen test was a joke. John Wick movies are more than just action and even though Mr. Keanu does most of his stunts, I don't think you'd get me to do my own.”

”So what was the point of it? So shall we just cut the bull and stop wasting each other's time?” Kyle demanded, staring at Chad in the eyes unflinchingly.

Chad looked at the young boy in front of him.
