He keeps the phone at a distance from his ear.
"Aren't you trying to be sweet? Trying to sound like a sincere person for once in your life. Remember that is my sister and when are you bringing back? " The male voice from the other line is yelling.
He moves the phone and places it on his ear with a wicked smirk forming on his lips.
"Stop whining like a baby, you know I appreciate people loyal to me" He smirks. He knows that he is asking for more chastening from Peace with arrogant words.
"Wow! The audacity to even utter such profane words about me. I am loyal to my sister. I know you abducted her, bring her back before they notice at home"
"Cover for us will you? Be a good brother to her" His lips tear a grin with his gaze fixating on the beautiful sun setting. It is beautiful, he sees that today. Is it because? Should he call her to see how beautiful it looks when it is sunsetting?
He moves his phone from the ear and put it on the loudspeaker so he can hear Peace speaking and capture the beautiful sunset. He scans the picture and smile at his skills. Today, he discovered that love can make you a good photographer when you are capturing moments. He lets out a giggle.
"So what I am saying is funny huh?" His voice sounds annoyed.
"Only Amy makes me giggle like that. Can't you tell?" He burst small chuckles. He knows very well that he is irking Peace.

She stands by the glass door and watches his image by the green lawn. He seems to be happy, giggling and capturing something. She concluded its a personal call. Is it a lady? She withdraws the thought and fixates her gaze on him.
She suddenly moves to fetch her phone from the sofa and hastily goes back to her former stance. She fixes her camera phone and captures him while is standing, with his posture adorned by the green surroundings and the sun setting shining on him.
It looks like a scene from a movie. At least she has a memory of him on her phone, just in case, not just in case, but for her to soothe her aching heart when they break up. She knows that their love is the love that exists but will never be explored fully because it is forbidden love.
She sighs with a heavy heart and depart where she was and lead her way to the sofa and bury her body.

She hears footsteps and yanked her head to the figure appearing in front of her. He settles next to her and drew her into an embrace. She allows her body to snuggle to him like a baby. She has to savour these moments when she still can.
She stares at him lovingly but in her thoughts, she is wondering how long can she stay with him? The sooner she lets him go, the better.
"I am leaving tomorrow morning" She murmurs the words on his chest.
His body tensed up, but he said nothing but caress her arm. He places a peck on her head. He is trying to be optimistic and look at the brighter side of things, but she keeps on attempting to ruin these beautiful moments with her anxiety.
"Best things are felt in the present. Living your life in fear of the future creates anxiety, which robs you full experiences of your own life" The words coming out of his mouth are thought through and wise.
They made Amy discern her situation. She is living her life in her future, and the ability of not knowing the fate she will suffer tortures her. And Kyle can see this fear which is preventing her from living in her present.
"You are right" She heaves a deep sigh. "I am still leaving tomorrow nonetheless" She perks up to him and his face was grim.
"You don't want me to leave?" She asks with a soft and caring voice. Her gape was soft and captivated his attention all to her.
"Would you change your mind?" He asks warily peering at her.
"No..." She shies her gaze away from him and hides my face on his chest.
"Then the answer does not matter" His voice was distant and curtly. She could feel the hurt and sad emotions vibrating through his voice.
She curls deep into him and whispers the words out of her mouth.
"So you won't try to even convince me?" Her voice was soft to his ears, his heart melted.
His gaze fell on her head, he scanned her body curled up to him. He caresses her arm and takes a deep inhale.
She was asking him to beg for her to stay, which is something according to his mental understanding, the feeling should be mutual. But it seems like he is stuck between a rock, he has to do something that they will portray her bargain for her to stay.
"uhm..." He clears his throat. "Tomorrow, I wanted to go somewhere and..." He pauses, "and the trip will take the whole day" He pursed his lips patiently waiting for her reply. This better have worked, because he doesn't want to say the words, please...
"Uhuh?" She replies with her voice sounding small and almost inaudible.
"I would love for you to go on this trip with me" He caress her arm.
She lifts her head and peers into his angelic stares. She could see the attempt in his gesture and she didn't want to make it hard for him. She will carve in because she also wants to spend more time with him, even if she is not sure of the future.
"Okay"
"Really?" His eyes lit up with joy
"Yes. I want to spend a day with you, just us. You can take me anywhere..." She gazes at him sceptically, "As long it is safe" She purse her lips warmly and gazes into his eyes.
He stared at her back, her intense gaze didn't make him flinch, it seems like he loves being held captive. He is letting himself be vulnerable as long she is willing to walk into his darkness as see that he is so much more than his appearance and prestige.
"My heart is dancing with joy right now " He lets out an awkward chuckle. Her lips tear a warm smile while she gazes at him.
He wipes the tear rolling on her right cheek with his thumb. He clasps her face towards his face. He places a passionate peck on the cheek where the tear rolled.
"I love you Amica" His stares were intense, she felt her clothes loosening and her body suddenly weak. She surrounded herself into his intense gaze.
"I love you too Kyle"
Her face leaned forward and her lips crash on his lips. The sensation flowed through her body, mind and soul. She was content and felt his love.
It was all she need.
