Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 319: Hint Number Two

“Yes, he is my boyfriend,” she said firmly. 

Cage started to explain. “I have heard people say that they don’t believe you have a boyfriend because it sounds a little surreal?” he started in an uncertain voice. “Yeah, I mean, they probably don’t want you to be taken and be single forever.” He snickered. “Some even wondered if I was your manager or your brother.”

Katherine moved forward and cradled his face in her palms before kissing him softly on the lips. Of course, the audience couldn’t see this because his face was covered by the animation still. “It’s unfortunate that they couldn’t see that,” he lamented. She kissed him again, just for effort. “But that makes me feel a lot better.” He grinned this time. 

“Next question. Did you meet on a dating application?” 

“No,” Katherine and Cage said at the same time. 

“I think that annulled most of the guesses. It’s not LazerBoi or tinder,” Katherine said with a shrug. “Do you ever look at him and just wonder how you got so lucky?” Katherine read out. She paused and looked at him with a mischievous look. 

“Depends on what I am being drawn as,” Cage guffawed. “What are you drawing?” he asked. 

“Probably a tentacle monster,” she bluffed. Cage huffed but said nothing about it. 

“But I would still make you smile, right?” The overconfident bastard. 

“Yes,” she said quickly, her pitch higher, her cheeks slightly flushed. 

He said a quick ‘aw’ before replying. “I’m the one who is lucky… I’m serious,” he added when he saw her incredulous look. Really, he was so lucky. 

A little more of his form was revealed. This time, there was a flash of skin. In the background, her voice came on. “Hint number two. He has excellent skin.” She had thrown that at the last minute, just because. 

“Does your boyfriend play videogames like you or is he a muggle?” she read out in a flat voice. 

“Actually, up until the competition, he was a better gamer than me. I’ve lost to him multiple times,” she admitted. Cage was surprised at that. 

“Oh, my. Are you finally going to admit to it? I ‘am’ better than you, though,” Cage commented, flipping his hair. She mock-glared at him. 

“Please, not anymore. You’ve been out of touch for months. I would beat you any day. Bring it on,” Katherine challenged. 

“Slow down, baby. I think you are giving too much away!” He chuckled for effect. 

“Can your boyfriend sing your background music?” Katherine read. She bit her lips to hide the silly smile. 

“Your background music, as in the one in your intro and outro?” he asked. Katherine nodded. She knew he had watched her videos, she just didn’t know how much he had watched or if he had liked them. “Yeah. Of course, I know that song. I composed it.” 

Katherine burst into laughter. “Oh god, that sounded so weird with your accent.” Controlling herself, she addressed the viewers. “Yeah, he did compose that song. And I know you guys would start a petition for us to break up if he didn’t know it by heart.”

“Your fans are hardcore!” Cage exclaimed.

“Next question!” she clapped her hands. “What do you love most about Kitty that she doesn’t show people?” She looked at him expectantly. 

“You are the most caring person I know. You understand the people around you without them spelling out anything and you are such a good friend.” His voice was soft and warm like he meant it with all his heart. 

“Do your friends like him?” Katherine gave the camera a pointed look. 

“Yes, they do. Her friends are dating my friends…” he trailed off. “That sounds so odd when I say it out loud.” He shuddered in his seat. Katherine joined in, looking weirded out. 

The conversation continued for a while before a heavier question came their way. “Were you attracted to each other at first sight or did it take time?”

The two thought about it. Their situation was a little complicated. 

“When we first saw each other?” Cage asked cautiously.

“Urm. We were very attracted to each other at first sight. But we won’t say too much right now.” She winked at the camera. In the meantime, the edges of his head were coming into the scene. Yet, his identity was still completely hidden. No one in the comments had guessed yet. “Well, a lot of people also wanted to know how we met each other.” She gave him a curious look. 

“How would you describe it?” he asked, throwing the ball back to her court. She was the one who was going to edit, so. 

“Well, I have known him for a really long time,” she said with the roll of her eyes. “But he didn’t know I existed. I actually, stumbled across him… eleven months ago. And yeah… we just started talking to each other. Everyday.” She shrugged. She hadn’t given a lot of details but it should be enough. 

“Next question. Who earns more money in the relationship?” There was an awkward silence. 

“Well, see, I wanted to address this. A lot of you think that he mooches off me because I am famous or whatever.” She snorted. Famous! “But he actually earns a lot more than me.”

“Might I add that we are independent and neither of us is in this relationship for the money? As sappy as that sounds, we really didn’t know. We just liked each other for our personalities…” he trailed off, looking at her for a cue. 

“And voices,” she added helpfully. There was another wink towards the camera. The shameless and perverted viewers knew exactly what that meant. 

“When did you get into a relationship?” Interesting question. “I would say six months?” They didn’t have a definite moment. But she was thinking it was around the time they saw each other for the first time. The whole misunderstanding part. 

“Well, when have we not been in a relationship?” Cage commented.
