Chapter 485 - Sari (1/2)

Kyle grudgingly walked to the cashier counter, while looking down at his feet all the while. He let his hair fall over his face so that she couldn't see him properly.

Or rather, he couldn't see her properly.

But that was pretty stupid, considering his skills.

He sighed.

Perhaps the best way to get out of this stupid crush was to actually keep in contact with her. It seemed as if the more he avoided her, the more fascinating she became.

Kyle knew very well that the more mysterious a person was, the more one could fall. You become enthralled by the image you had set up for the person in your mind.

You don't see his or her shortcomings because you had already put that person on a pedestal. Even their 'bad' points were all good points.

Kyle was sure that once he got to know her, the thrill would fade and he would get back to normal again.

Silly Kyle.

He was thinking like a girl at that point, rather than being a boy.

A girl would constantly ask her boyfriend, 'What do you like (or love) about me?' She would be waiting in complete fascination and utter seriousness for the answer.

A girl would often not believe that there was something about her, that would appeal to a guy. Sometimes, it's just that she wants reassurance. Confirmation. Validation.

Sometimes, it makes it worse because if the guy said something like, 'I like your smile' then she would always be thinking that if another girl had a cute smile, he would fall for her. Or, she would think he was so superficial.

Guys never win in these situations.

As for the guy?

He just goes for what he feels. He acts instinctively.

It really could be something as simple as the way she smiles.

A guy does not think about it.

If she makes him feel nice, and he likes her, then he likes her.

It's not rocket science.

Right now, Kyle didn't take into account his male physiology ... but perhaps, even if he did, 'Kylie' would have talked it to death.

It was, after all, the first time he started to get attracted to someone.

Sari waited patiently at the counter and saw with delight as Rex came over.

He was just so cute, the way he shuffled his feet while looking at the floor all shy. She had been observing him for weeks and was completely captivated at how nice he is.

Rex didn't talk much but did his work diligently. He never complained. He may not look at people in the face, but that was far better than having a sour expression as he served you.

Like right now, he was obviously feeling rather uncomfortable yet he wasn't taking it out on her. After scanning the items, he said in that lovely low voice of his, ”$6.50 please.”

She paid and left, her heart happy.
