His teeth are digging his lower lip, he can't help but think about their last conversation. Why was he so accepting of the situation, letting her go so easily knowing that whenever he thinks of her his heart beats faster than his usual pace? His heart dances and twirls, joy flushes his whole body. Her mere touch on his skin sets fire to his soul. Oh, he is so foolish.
"I tell you, Kyle, she is a beauty. But you know what let's focus on what matters, which is business"
Schucks! He should have at least tried to win her over, but no! He decided to say...
" Amy I know what I feel for you is real. We are like the sun and moon, different but our existence embrace each other and make life beautiful. You have ignited this burning desire of wanting more than a flourishing career or maintaining my high acknowledged status"
Darn it! Why did he have to say that? We are like the moon and sun, was he trying to be a Shakespearean, he should have known better that a Neptune Princess requires more than words to win her love and convince her heart that you are the only one to safeguard it.
Yes! That is what he should do. More actions that back his words. She will reconsider her decision.
"And then bam! I was so shocked when she said she is engaged but she is open to some flirting with me before she ties the knot with her fiance. My jaw dropped. She looks modest, as the innocent kind"
It's a perfect plan, operation wins Amy's love. There's no way he lets her go easily, especially when he knows that he is not in the wrong. His family will be glad that he will be strengthening the royalty ties. But this is not about it, it's about his love for Amy.
"Kyle! Kyle! " He glances at the man whose gaze is fixated on his face but his mind seems to be wandering far far away at the Sahara desert.
"I am listening" He snaps out of his bubble. Was he immense in his thoughts that he missed all that Kim was telling him? He purses his lips in shame camouflaging his absence on the whole conversation.
"What was I saying?" He challenges him with his brows rose and a lopsided smirk
"You were talking about Miss, the business contact we got from Robert. Miss Patterson " He fixate his gaze on his face and gently lay back against his office chair.
"No, it was Miss Ferguson" He dilates his pupils and purses his lips.
"No, I heard Miss Patterson. You were going on and on about how distracted you were in her presence..." He smirks his lips complacently, glad that at least his ears managed to catch some of the things Kim was talking about.
"Kyle...Why are you distracted? This is unlike you" He upright his position and leans his elbows on the office desk and pierce Kyle with soul searching gaze. He lets out a chuckle when Kyle opens his mouth to speak. "Don't lie to me, I am your brother after all" He smirks.
Kyle let his body sink into the chair, feeling defeated. Kim is now using the brother card to get to open up. Was the need for him to do so? He was going to spill the tea anyway, only because he needs his help in pursuing Amy to reconsider her decision and be the queen of his heart. The woman who...
"There you go again..." Kim narrows his gaze with a little bit of annoyance. "Just say it, the wait is excruciating " He hisses the words through his teeth.
"You are just impatient. It's not even a minute" He pauses to grasp air before his pitch to Kim.
"I am in love with a Princess and I need your help to win her heart...no, no, to convince her that I am worth her commitment " He ends the sentence feeling confident about his statement.
Kim burst a loud chuckle followed by soft chuckles. He gazes at Kyle with disbelief and starts laughing again. Kyle glances with vexation, how dare he laugh at his declaration of love about the beholder of his heart.
"Stop laughing. It's annoying. I thought you wanted to know. If you continue with this behaviour leave my office" His voice was dense and intense with annoyance.
"Okay...Calm down. I will behave" He tore a grin.
Kyle alerts his gaze and glance at the glass walls of his office. He regrets sharing this with him, he is so childish and not acting like his senior. It's vexing.
"Alright brother. I am all ears. You are in love with a lady, yes?" He rests his back on the office chair.
"Correction, A real Princess" He replies with his gaze still on the wall.
"An Earther?" Kim gazes at him with a frown, he is not pleased with this news. Kyle's heart is just going to cause trouble, falling in love with the wrong one.
"No" He answers curtly
"Mmm? " He glances at him with a baffled gaze with a creased forehead.
"Yea, A Princess from Neptune" He murmurs the words waiting for a dramatic reaction from his brother.
"Oh" He replies with a monotonous tone.
Kyle jerk his head and surprisingly glance at Kim who gave a subtle reaction.
"Oh?" He enquires
"Which one?" His face was now grim and immense in thoughts
"Uhm...Amica" He seamlessly runs his fingers on his hair.
"What!" He instantly raises his body from the chair. He gazes at Kyle then avert his gaze. He strides toward the sofa and gently sits without resting his back against the sofa.
"She is the pinnacle of The Peacekeepers. Isn't anyone you can fall for?" He asks Kim with a lopsided smile.
"If I could choose, I would have chosen a fellow royal warrior" He raises his eyebrow at Kim.
"Ugh! Curse your stupid heart" He heaves a defeated sigh.
"Are you going to help me?" Kyle inquires in a delicate tone.
"No" Kim's voice was mellow but firm. "You have to let go! There's no way, The great Utah lets you have his daughter, nor will Rabanne support that matter" He purses his lips thoughtfully.
Kyle gaze at his brother feeling let down by him. His brother is a big advocate of love, he is disappointed that they view this predicament differently. Nevertheless, he will not give up and he will stand against all odds to get her.
"Not her" Kim's voice echoes in Kyle's ears.
