She's always been hot.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

Kyle continuously cursed in his mind as he gulped and drew in a breath to control his feelings, then looked up to find a completely surprised Kelly Johnson staring between the two of them in bewilderment.

His eyes darted back to Lara and found her fiddling with her fingers, her head lowered. She was nervous.

"Uh… what the fuck?" Kelly exclaimed once more, reminding him that she was there.

Abruptly, Lara turned towards Kelly and he saw how she struggled for a second, then a clearly forced smile spread on her face.

"Kelly," she called with feigned excitement, as if it was the first time she noticed Kelly in the room. "I… was just about to leave. I–I'll see you later Mr Kyle," she turned to him, barely meeting his eyes then bolted out of the room.

"Ah! Mr Kyle," Kelly scoffed with a wide grin on her face as she closed the door behind her and started walking to his desk. "What the hell was that? You and Lara?" Amusement dripped from her voice and tone and Kyle ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

He was glad that Kelly was the one to barge into them because if it was someone else they would have been in serious trouble, but now he knew this troublemaker cousin of his would never let him live this down.

Kelly sat on the opposite chair with the silly smile still on her face, her eyes gleaming as if she found some treasure. "Come on, spill it. Since when has this been going on?"

Kyle closed his eyes as a sigh left his lips. "Kelly, I'm not in the mood for this. Seriously."

"For what? I just want to know why the fuck I found you kissing my best friend in your damn office," Kelly demanded as she gently slammed her fist on the desk so as not to get hurt.

Kyle scoffed loudly, a look of disbelief on his face. "Since when is she your best friend?"

"Well… since she turned into this hot piece of ass all of a sudden," Kelly said defensively and Kyle's immediate response had her mouth falling agap.

"She's always been hot." And he said it in a matter-of-fact kind of way that made her eyes almost pop out.

Kyle was busy sorting out files on his desk, but he had to look up because of Kelly's silence and he rolled his eyes at the expression on her face.

"Seriously Kelly, what do you want? Just leave me the fuck alone," he groaned and Kelly finally relented, raising her hands in the air.

"Alright cous. But just a warning hmm, bad bitches recognise their kind, okay? Don't be fooled. That girl is not as innocent as she looks."

"I thought she's your best friend," Kyle retorted amusedly.

"She is. It's just that, you're mister romantic and she's… well, whatever. I'm sure you'll enjoy all of that," she winked playfully at him and he threw a file at her face, scowling.

"Alright, I just need you to lie to dad. Tell him we have some… study shit going on uumm… after classes. Something like that to get him off my back. I need to go somewhere."

Kyle listened to Kelly ranting but he didn't have any reaction at the end of it. He had a bored look on his face and Kelly got the hint, but this time she had something against him so as a warning, she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Fine, leave already!"

She practically hopped out of the room without even a simple thank you and Kyle shook his head. "Little brat."

Silence returned inside his office and Kyle could finally think about what had happened just moments ago. Right there. With Lara.

The moment was as real as can be, but Kyle still found it hard to believe. He had kissed Lara. Finally. And she didn't push him away, she was even the one to initiate the kiss. The memory of it just made his whole face lighten up and his chest swell, even though it was just a simple kiss.

From the time Lara survived the drowning incident, he had heard everyone saying that she had changed, but he just didn't realize how until now. She was dressing and behaving differently –not that he complained – she looked so much hotter now and the only thing he was worried about was having guys drool over her. She was no longer shy and meek but now she had this air of confidence that only made her the more attractive.

Kyle had been lusting over Lara for quite some time now. There was nothing to admire under those baggy clothes she used to wear before, but her father had once invited him to their house and he happened to see her in a swimsuit. Everything had changed since then. That image could never be erased even after they were back to school and she had oversized clothes on. But with time he realized that the more he interacted with her, the more he became drawn to her and his lust had turned into full admiration.

He had a mad crush on Lara and he wanted her, now more than ever. He wanted her to be his in every way possible and now that he knew she was this close to becoming his, his patience had already started waring thin.

Now that he had kissed her, he felt like there was nothing more stopping him from pursuing her. Now that he had a taste he wanted more. He wanted her in his bed, under him or on top of him. On his couch or his kitchen counter. He could already imagine fucking her in every corner of his house and in every position. He wanted her badly.
