New Life : A Second Chance

"It's kinda hard to get used to ... to seeing that my boyfriend is THE Kyle Smith," Sari said breathlessly. 

I mean, come on. That utterly gorgeous face and that divine physique ... what girl would not feel like she hit the jackpot?

More so because he had always been so attentive and loving, caring for her in so many wonderful ways that she had always felt like a princess. Now, she really felt like she was in a dream.

She seriously could not get used to that face staring at her like she was the most important person to the world to him.

It made her feel all giddy all over again.

"Can I ask, though," Kyle then asked, "How did you figure out who I am so fast?"

Sari blushed a deep red then.

"That's because I'm a fan," she said softly, looking down.

"A fan?" Kyle blinked. That was the last thing he expected, for some reason, "You mean, because of the movie?"

Sari nodded.

In fact, her room was littered with posters of Kyle. 

She had been a fan of his from the John Wick movie and had dug out all sorts of information about him. She admired him, even more, when she looked through his Insta, and all the things PoK had stated about him.

She viewed him as a role modal.

Kyle was rich and handsome, yet he chose to do a lot of charity work even at a young age. Not only that, he did a lot of work besides what he already had to do as the Smith Heir.

Sari was enthralled completely by his work ethics and the success he achieved. She knew that was through blood, sweat, and tears. 

Although everyone around her felt that Kyle was just lucky to be born in such a good family, Sari felt she knew better. He had worked hard to achieve all that he did, and he made it look all so effortlessly.

There was no way that things were handed to him on a silver platter like that.

"But it was only one movie, and it was so long ago," Kyle mused, "Didn't think I would leave that great an impact on anyone."

Sari gasped, and grabbed his hand, saying, "How can you say that? That was the best movie ever! And you acted so seamlessly with Keanu Reaves. Oh gosh, you know Keanu Reaves. Then you just disappeared, so people started being even more obsessed."

"Oof," Kyle said with a sigh, "I really thought after the movie was over, things would just naturally settle down."

Sari looked at him in surprise, "Don't you know?"

"Know what?" Kyle asked.

"Because of you, the John Wick movie became something like a cult thing," Sari explained, "It reached unprecedented box office hits, and when people found out that your earnings went to charity, you became even more popular."

"Oh," Kyle said, "Even more reason to be low-key here then."

"PoK is always posting things about you, too," Sari said.

"Wait. What? PoK?" Kyle said in surprise, "I've already disassociated myself from them, so why are they still so active? And what sort of posts?"

And why didn't Kay tell him anything about this?

"Just some stories about your school life, and people talking about how their lives were changed by you," Sari explained, "Even the hospitals you donated to gave testimonials."

"Urgh," Kyle groaned, "I don't do all that to get all this publicity!"

Sari studied Kyle and smiled.

Her initial fear and nervousness slowly faded away. The Rex she knew, and the Kyle in front of her, was one and the same. The caring, and sweet person that she had always known.

Without her realising it, she reached out and touched his cheek, her face showing her love for him so clearly.

Kyle smiled, took that hand and kissed her palm.

Her face went beet red as she felt those sinful lips on her sensitive palm. She looked in a daze, completely mesmerized when he looked at her, giving that sexy smile of his and leaned closer.

She closed her eyes instinctively and felt him kiss her.

The kiss started soft and gentle, as if he was tasting her lips.

She responded, feeling very light-headed ... yet something else was stirring within. She felt his hands go to the back of her neck, as if it was to keep her in position as he continued his assault on her lips. What began as light kisses became much more intense as his lips sucked on her lips with each contact.

When she felt something touch her lips and slide across, she gasped, opening her mouth. 

As for Kyle, well ... he was truly losing it right now.

It was only meant to be a small kiss. Then it became several kisses. When she returned his kisses, his body seemed to have a mind of its own as his kisses became slightly more aggressive.

It wasn't enough.

He wanted to taste her.

Just a little bit.

His tongue darted out and just licked her cherry red lips briefly.

It really did taste like cherries.

Sari didn't wear lipstick, but instead, it was tinted cherry lip balm.* It made her lips so beautifully moisturized and pink.

When he heard her gasp and open her lips, his tongue naturally entered without a second thought. 

To Kyle, it felt all so surreal. 

He had kissed a lot of people before in this life, but kissing his beloved was completely different.

She was like candy, as she tasted so sweet. Her responses were utterly cute. He explored her mouth thoroughly, enjoying the softness and more importantly, her reaction to it.

It ignited something within him that had never been ignited before.

He felt his desire rise up and his hands went to her back, bringing her close. It wasn't enough to taste her, he wanted to feel her. Every single inch of her. 

His tongue plunders, his hands roamed.

He was completely lost.
