Chapter 676 - Standing Her Ground (1/2)

”Of course we are,” Sayuri assured him with a smile.

Kyle slumped over on the sofa, happy beyond belief at that.

Though he was feeling like a douchebag at that moment for even asking that question, he had to ask. The thought of losing her as a friend scared him beyond belief. He had gotten used to her presence, and it wasn't just for the sex. He valued her opinion and she was fun to have around.

That was one of the reasons he was so grumpy upon coming back.

It was like, something he had been so used to, was suddenly gone. A part of him was missing.

He never realised how big his bed was, or how bland it was not having her around to tease at the dining table. The funny thing was, it wasn't like he was alone for he was staying with his parents. He didn't have a reason to move out, even though he very well could.

It just wasn't the same.

He couldn't quite put his finger on it, and it drove him crazy.

Seeing her today, everything just clicked and everything felt right again.

So, when she confessed ... he panicked. He really could not return her feelings and he'd rather be honest about it; but he knew, it would most likely mean that she would leave him then. Yet, despite that, he didn't want to create false hope for her and she should go and put her love on someone that truly deserved her.

He had been prepared for her ending it when she fell in love with someone else, but he didn't expect that 'someone else' to be him. It would only be natural that she would break all contacts with him because of it, right?

What woman can stay with a man that she slept with, when he has no feelings for her?

He knew he was being selfish when he asked the question, but it wasn't like he was going to force her to stay if she said no. Even though it was an unfair question.

”Actually, it would be best if we really did break off all ties, considering my feelings for you,” Sayuri said, making Kyle freeze, ”Unfortunately, I do not have that luxury of choice.”

Kyle looked at her puzzledly, ”Why? What do you mean by that?”

Though Kyle was glad she was not cutting ties, it appalled him to know that she wasn't doing so willingly. She actually DID want to leave him. So what was it that is forcing her to stay?

”I'm pregnant,” Sayuri told him.

Kyle stared at her.

Three seconds passed before he finally exploded, ”You're pregnant?!”

”I just entered my second trimester,” Sayuri said, ”So I'm about 11 weeks. Turns out this is our mile-high club baby.”

Kyle's eyes went towards her and he stared at Sayuri's still flat stomach.

In the first pregnancy, the baby bump would normally start showing from weeks 12 to 16, so it might be some time before Sayuri starts showing.
