Kyra shook her head to clear her thoughts and took a deep breath, and then slowly let it out. Then she entered the kitchen and cleared her throat. Xavier turned around and looked at the girl that took his breath away.
Yet again.
"It's all done. And the cookies are still inside the oven but already baked. So, don't worry about that, you can take them out. Also, I've put the dishes in the dishwasher." Xavier finished.
"You can go and shower now. I can do the rest." Kyra informed. Xavier stared at her, like really, really stared at her. Like he wants to know what going on in her little brain. And Kyra tried hard to keep her blush from surfacing on her cheeks.
"Okay. I'll go now." Xavier turned to go when suddenly he paused his steps and turned back. "I don't have anymore shirt besides this one. Can you please go and get a shirt and sweats for me? Tyler is still in the apartment, I guess. I'd go but I can't go exactly go looking like this, right?" Xavier gestured his half naked body and flour covered jeans.
He can go anywhere looking like that. Hell, he can go just wearing a potato sack and he would still look like the hottest man walking on the surface of the earth. But Kyra kept these thoughts to herself and closed her eyes before opening it.
She'd never admit to that.
"It's okay. I'll go and get your shirt. You can shower by that time." Xavier gave a little nod and went towards the guest bathroom. Kyra went to the front door and opened it. With a mission in hand, she stepped across the hall and stopped in front of Xavier and Tyler's apartment.
God, this sounds so embarrassing and ridiculous at the same time. Kyra standing here in front the door asking for a spare t-shirt for Xavier, while Xavier is in shower in her apartment. Any outsider would think this is more than it looks...but it's not even close. Heaven knows what will Tyler think. Taking a deep breath, Kyra knocked on the door.
After a few moments, groans and shufflings later, the door was open by a disheveled and half naked Tyler, scratching the side of his head and rubbing his eyes. And not forget to mention, he looked yummy enough to be eaten by all the female population of the city.
But this was not what Kyra was thinking, she was actually thinking; did he not have any shirt to wear at home? She saw him 2 times at his home, both the times he was shirtless. Anyways, she cleared her throat that caught Tyler's attention.
He squinted his eyes a bit and then a slow smile stretched on his face as the realization of who knocked the door settled on him. He showed off his flirtatious devilish smile, his sparkling blue eyes shining.
"Why, hello gorgeous Kyra. What brings you here today?" Tyler leaned on the doorframe and crossed his arms, his crooked smile still on place. "Do you want to give something today too?"
"No. Actually, today I need to borrow something." Kyra replied without any hesitation.
"Borrow?"
Kyra nodded.
Tyler's brow went right up, "What do you need borrow?"
"A shirt."
"A shirt?"
"And a pair of sweats."
"A pair of sweats?"
"Xavier's."
"Xavier's?!" This time he said loudly, "What for and where is he?" He stood straight abruptly and tried to look past Kyra, in the hall.
"In my apartment." Kyra replied.
And he stopped, "In your apartment?"
Kyra nodded and pointed to the door followed by Tyler's gaze.
"What is he doing in your apartment?" Tyler asked with a hint of mischief in his voice. "Is he...—"
"No! We were just making cookies." Kyra cut him off before he could finish his sentence but she was sure her face turned red.
"Is that so? You were really making cookies?" This time Tyler's voice became different, like he was amazed.
Kyra nodded again. This time Tyler said nothing and went inside. After few moments, he came back with a t-shirt and a pair of sweats. But he was also wearing a t-shirt and a faded jeans. His hair was still messy but it was ok enough to be counted as sexy.
"Let's go." He announced.
~~~~~
Xavier had to take a little longer in the shower than expected. His hair had caught flour so he had to use Kyra's shampoo. It smelled exactly like her.
Moments ago, Kyra knocked the bathroom door to give his clothes and told him that the cookies are on the living room table. Thinking back on during the flour fight, he was now surprised he did that. He wasn't like that. Never did things like he did today. To be honest, he never did things he is doing when he's around Kyra. She was different, so whatever happened, he always felt different around her.
He shouldn't be more involved than he already is...but he can't help himself. He never expected to make cookies with someone. Hell, he never made cookies since that day! But Kyra made him forget every sadness. He felt happy vibes from her.
He quickly wiped himself off before wearing the clothes Kyra bought him. Honestly, he didn't want her to go and ask Tyler for his clothes. He knew that as soon as Tyler knew that he was here—in Kyra's apartment making cookies—there's going to be a lot of questions to the answers which even he didn't know about.
Tyler and Xavier were friends from the time they both were in diapers. Their parents were in the same hospital, hell they were born with just one day apart. Xavier was born on 22nd November and Tyler was born on 23rd November. So, their parents celebrated their birthday at midnight of 22nd November, celebrating both the birthdays together. Even now, when these two men are in college they party till the morning of 23rd November. So, the questioning was inevitable and Tyler knew everything about his life. Every little thing.
When Xavier entered the living room, he heard a sweet laughter which of course belonged to Kyra but there was another deep laugh of a male. Xavier frowned, he had no problem recognizing who is laughter belong to. Night was going to be long and it was just 8 pm now. Great!
