Chapter 26 - Hi, I Am Ella

The strange exchange with Aiysha came to an end, leaving Kyle uncertain whether she was flirting with him or just being friendly. He hoped it was the latter. There was no doubt that she exuded an aura that piqued his interest, but this was an interest he couldn't act on. Checking his phone, he saw that Jane had replied a few minutes earlier and was surprised by her invitation for him to come over.

**[[Hey, here's a crazy idea, want to come over?]]**

That was all the message said, and only one thing came to mind: sex. Was she calling him over to seal the deal? If that were the case, he had grossly misjudged her, but there was also a possibility that this wasn't the case. Kyle wanted to stay optimistic; he already had a gold digger in his harem, and the last thing he needed was another one.

He wasn't going to turn down Jane's generous offer, and with nothing else to do, he was down for it—he had nothing to lose. He got dressed and headed out, trying his best to avoid Aiysha. He didn't know what her deal was yet, but some tension from their conversation seemed to linger. She had never visited his place before to report any problems and always waited for her husband to do so. Perhaps that was for her safety? Maybe she thought Kyle was some dangerous bum, but after interacting with him, her view had likely changed.

Kyle got into his car and drove to Jane's place. He didn't know what she wanted, but he decided to accept her invitation by sending a text message confirming his arrival.

It took a few minutes as Kyle drove at the speed limit; his driving skills made him feel invincible—almost immune to accidents at this point. He knew Jane had a roommate but didn't know the gender of said roommate. It would be weird if she lived with a man who wasn't her relative, and during his brief visit, he hadn't detected any masculine presence. If a man were living there, he would have left some kind of imprint on the apartment.

Kyle parked in the driveway, knowing Jane would be waiting for him and probably knew right when he pulled up. He was right. Jane peeked through the window and shut the blinds when she saw Kyle's car.

"HE'S HERE!" Jane exclaimed, prompting Ella to shoot her friend an exhausted look. She was acting like a schoolgirl in love, which felt like a recipe for disaster. This man must be some kind of love bomber; when he inevitably left her friend brokenhearted, Ella would be the one picking up the pieces—and that was work.

"Relax, Jane…" Ella said before clasping the book in her hand shut. "Go freshen up; I will attend to him," she instructed carefully.

Jane didn't think twice and dashed into the other room. Ella was aware of men making passes at her despite showing interest in Jane due to her bustier appearance. She was certain this man would be no different.

The doorbell soon rang, and Ella took a deep breath, adjusting her clothes slightly to reveal more of her cleavage as she opened the door. Standing before her was a tall man who forced her to look up to meet his gaze.

"He's taller than I thought he'd be," she thought as Kyle flashed her a smile.

"You must be Jane's roommate. Hi, I'm Kyle," Kyle introduced himself even though he knew this lady already knew who he was. That's what roommates did—they told each other everything—and this interaction would definitely be discussed as well. So Kyle knew he had to be on his best behavior; this is why his eyes were focused on her face rather than on her ample assets.

Kyle noticed that she had a goth-like appearance which was appealing in its own way, but he wasn't going to fall for whatever this was.

"Hello Kyle! I've heard quite a lot about you," Ella said as she introduced herself.

"That's funny because I haven't heard anything about you," Kyle responded jokingly; luckily, it landed well with Ella.

"Ah, I see! You're quite funny; I can see why she likes you," Ella replied as she stepped aside to let Kyle in. He walked past her and let out a silent sigh of relief.

He needed to remain focused because his goal was to max out Jane's affection bar—the last thing he needed was conflict with her roommate. Kyle needed Ella on his side to influence Jane in his absence; that's why he had brought along the leather bag in his hand.

"Why did she invite me over if her roommate was going to be here?" Kyle wondered silently.

Ella wore a black tank top that barely contained her breasts; the sides were visible but due to the color of the tank top, it was difficult to see her perky nipples. This might have been for the best because in the end, Kyle was still a man.

Kyle sat down on the couch while Ella sat across from him. He could see her smooth thighs crossed over each other; this lady wore shorts and showed utmost confidence in her body—she didn't seem concerned about changing despite a man being present—which only solidified Kyle's belief that this might be some sort of test.

"JANE! YOUR BOYFRIEND'S HERE!" Ella screamed at the top of her lungs just as Jane rushed out of the room as if trying to go back in time and stop Ella from saying those words. But all she saw upon emerging was Kyle sitting there.

Jane wore a fitted crop top that hugged her body perfectly along with a cute skirt that hung just above her knee.

"Hey beautiful," Kyle said with a smile, not minding Ella's presence at all. All Jane could do at that moment was stand there like a log with her face flushed red.
