Chapter 39: chapter 39

Kylen's POV,Kat saw me walking in the corridor."Hey. Waiting for your girlfy?!"I chuckled, "No. She's home.""Returning from office?""Yeah! A hectic day it was.", she puffed a breath.I half-smiled.She examined me closely.With her hands placed on her waist, "Something is wrong. You seemed to be worried."Before I could protest, she tugged me by my arm and took me inside her apartment.Passing me a glass of red wine, she raised a brow at me, "Now, tell me.""Wow, you know what I drink.", I was astonished."Oh! I know you quite a lot.""Um, well, I'm in dilemma.", I stated."Reason?""Sam's girlfriend happens to be Shawn's sister.""No way!", she chuckled while I passed a serious look."Oh man!", she held her head, "Is that why Ela changed her plan to go to office suddenly today?""Hmm.""Okay. What did that fkng b*** say to you?!", she was fuming already without knowing the content."Let's not forget she is Sam's girlfriend, so no swear words.", I requested."Sam is not here to be offended, da!", squinting her eyes, she asked, "What did she say about Ela?""Not Nor, but she said something about Shawn, actually."I sighed, "She said that Shawn still loves Eleanor. Ofcourse, I don't care. But-""Should you tell this to your Nor or not is your question.", Kat kept her glass aside.I nodded.She thought for a while before answering, "Simple. Point A, we don't know if it is true. Point B, Jennifer might want you to say this to Eleanor purposefully even if it is false. And Point C, Shawn and Jennifer might be plotting against you. These are all the possibilities. And I think it is better if we wait."This was the first time, that I'm agreeing on something with Kat."And, yeah it is equally possible for him to be still in love with her. But we also know how emotionally weak our Ela is. Let's not put her through another trauma without confirming the facts.", Kat stiffened her lips."You're right. She was already worried when Shawn had saved her the day before yesterday, scratching her little head for why he was there.""Stalkers. Can't help.", Kat shrugged her shoulders."Exactly!""When will Rick be home?", I asked, looking at the clock."Mostly, in an hour.""Alright, I will follow Dr.Kat's words for now."She smiled, "I'm hearing you complementing me for the first time."I smirked, "Sometimes, you are sensible.""Aww, thanks humbug."I frowned at her, "I'll take it back, if you again call me as a humbug."She laughed hearing it.I don't know what magic Eleanor has bought in my life, that I'm opening up with people.My phone rang. It was my cue to leave."Thanks, Kattsy. This talk was much needed, as I couldn't share to this to Sam at the moment, you know-.""I get it dude! Well, friends are for that reason only.", Kat gave me a quick hug.I came out and saw Eleanor's door unlatched."Nor?""Come in!""Hey."She was taking off her pump heels."Hey! Where were you till now? I saw your car parked.", she asked worriedly."I was at Kat's place."You had to see her reaction. She was beyond amused, "That's a nice improvement. You two are getting together now.""She has improved a little."Nor passed a glare.She freshened up and we had the dinner together."Yumm. I love it!", Nor was damn hungry as she was busy stuffing her mouth.Grandma had sent us the food. She specially prepared the dish for Eleanor."Grandma and dad asked you a lot.", I said while eating.I had to lie to them that she got some urgent work in the office."Ah! Will make it up to them, some day.", she nodded.After the dinner, I was watching F1 race, when Nor came and sat beside me."You boys and this craze of car race.""Excuse me, girls watch too!", I argued."Oh yeah. Kat watches it.""She does? Then I got a new company!"Eleanor giggled, placing her head on my left shoulder."Exhausted?", I asked leaning my head onto her's."Hmm. Sleepy.", she blinked with her eyes half-shut."Kylen. How was Jenny?""She was fine. Behaved well with everyone! I thought she would bring your topic in front of dad or grandma. But she didn't. And to be honest, Sam is more cheerful around her."Nor sniffed, "She feels that I got all the attention in school, and she feels inferior about it. That's why she hates me."I recalled what Jenifer had told me."Nor, did she hate you when you were with Shawn?"No reply.I turned my head to see her asleep. I cautiously stood up and picked her up in my arms, ensuring I was subtle while moving.Tucking her under the quilt, I sat on my knees staring at her baby face.I will ask you tomorrow, Nor."Good night, Eleanor.", I muttered softly.I was above to turn to leave, when she rose up like a ghost."Jeez! What happened?""Wait.", she said in her drowsy voice.Rubbing her eyes, she went to the living room and started searching for something in the drawers."What are you looking for?""Patience, Kylen."She literally turned her not-so tidy house into a messy house successfully."Oh! Found it."She ran to me. "You already own it to my heart.", placing a key on my palm, "Now, you can be home anytime you want to be!"She looked into my eyes and I kissed her hand.I followed her to the room. "Nor!""Hmm.""That means I'm gonna be seeing you anytime in those funky-tinny shorts and sexy-"She threw a pillow straight on my face."Shut up and climb the bed!""As you say, Your Highness."I got under the sheets, and she cuddled up to me, resting her head on my chest.Patting her head, my lips curved feeling content.
