The Devil's Sweetheart

They have known each other since school, but it took them: two decades, and a bathroom conflict, to overcome their inner barriers and fall in love. Often people fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. Their love story is a classic example of calling it an unexpected encounter.

Words cannot describe the happiness of his blithe heart. Her confession tugged his heartstrings, making music with them. Looking back to his past, he has led a happy life, but the present looks more colorful and brighter with her presence. ''I was scared you are still holding on to your first love, Devinnn..'' Kurt stressed his friend's name pointedly.

''How did you know it was Devin.'' Kyle pursed her lips, staring at his stormy eyes. A daring woman she was, Kyle threw her arms around his waist, embracing him tightly. Kurt returned her hug, clasping his hands around her waist protectively. The feeling of smelling his perfume is intoxicating her, and she wished to be in his arms forever. It was apparent to her eyes that Kurt is jealous. She remembered talking about Devin's favorite dish yesterday, and he connected the dots? If Kurt knows the stupid little things she did in school to gain Devin's attention, she will not able able to handle this cute angry bird.

''Does it matter?'' He grumbled, looking away.

Tilting his head, Kyle cupped his face between her hands. ''I can't deny he is my first love, but I am lucky enough to get a second chance with you. You showed me new dawn in my life without you knowing.'' Tiptoeing on her heels, leaning forward, she gently pressed her lips on his. Before she retreated, Kurt dipped down into her mouth. He parted his lips, diving his tongue to tangle with hers. His teeth collided with her clumsily, yet they didnot care. Both were too focused on the passion they were experiencing. His passionate breath whispered on her face, down to her neck as he whispered her name continuously. Electric sparks sip through his bloodstream, making sure every nerve in his body is focusing on her mouth. His hands dug into her waist possessively, pulling her closer and closer until there formed no gap between them. Breathless, Kyle pulled back, yet their foreheads lingered. ''Time to go.'' She whispered.

Kurt nodded, a slow smile curved on his lips, taking her flushed face. He wanted to experience the kiss again, but the place held his desires.

Kurt looked at his mother's picture for one last time before he left with Kyle.

Igniting the engine, he said. ''When did you fall in love with me?'' Kurt's eagerness reached zeniths.

''Can we save your question for later? We traveled for two hours, and except for breakfast, I hadn't had anything since then. My stomach is making noises already.''

''Your body has enough cholesterol to use even if you skip food for three days.'' Kurt teased. In a swift move, Kyle hit his arm, a scowl on her face. ''You never change, right? Do you expect me to look like a ribbon model? Maybe I should drink again to teach you a lesson.''

''That's not necessarily.'' His voice was neutral, but Kyle could feel his tone had an edge of fright. ''Your weight is just perfect. I like the way you are.''

''Was it painful.'' She giggled, eyes on his foot.

''Thanks to you, I didnot wear shoes for two continuous days.'' He said.

''You needed that. So, Where are we going now?'' Kyle already guessed the place he would take.

''To fill your stomach.'' He pinched her nose, handling the steering with another hand. He stopped the car at a restaurant. Kyle felt like Kurt has taken his boyfriend's job seriously on the first day. She hadn't yet recovered from Kurt's confession, and he did give another surprise. He keeps placing the veggies into her plate and asks her if the food is likable to her taste. Her dating list has only one person, but she never received the treatment from Landon akin to Kurt's. She smiled at his sweet gestures. Post lunch, the car drove past the city outskirts and finally stopped in front of a house. ''I don't need to tell you about this place?''

''I guessed it already.'' She said, removing the seatbelt. ''Uncle Arnold is a lovely person. We often chat as well.''

''What about me? Am I not loving?'' Was his question.

''Are you jealous of your dad, Kurt?'' Kyle laughed, pinching his adorable cheeks. ''And jealous Kurt is the cutest...Happy?...Let's go.''

Her face looked like it was sprayed with a rosy hue when Kurt held her hand after getting down from the car. Am I going to die out of excessive sugar? Kyle's mind whirled in thoughts as she walked side by side with him. 

''Let me surprise him.'' She hid behind the wall.

 ''You don't need to do that. Either way, he will be surprised to see you with me.''

''But it's fun.'' She pouted.

''Do whatever you want.'' He chuckled, pressing the doorbell. The moment the door opened, his father's sullen face greeted Kurt. 

''Why are you here?''

 ''What's with that look? Aren't you happy to see your son?'' 

''I am bored seeing your face,'' Arnold said impassively. ''There is no new face in my house, unlike your friends. All your friends are either married or have girlfriends and you... run away at the sight of a girl.'' Arnold gazed at the sky. ''Elian, you have put this brat in my hands, but I failed you.''

Noticing Kyle's movement, Kurt gestured with his finger to stay put.

''Will you stop with your drama, dad?'' Kurt sucked a deep breath. ''You should have joined the entertainment industry.''

''It looks like a drama to you?'' Arnold yelled at his son. He wished he had a handy tool to knock his brain. ''I have sent you countless pictures. Did you see any?..at least for your dad's sake? No_''

''I didnot see them because.'' Pausing his words, Kurt took a couple of steps back, pulled Kyle. ''I found a daughter-in-law for you.''

''Hello, Uncle.'' Kyle waved her hand. 

Kurt will not wonder if his father would faint due to shock. Well, he was in the same state when he realized his feelings for this Loose Case.

''A_are you..'' Arnold's eyes followed his son and Kyle concurrently. ''For real?''

''Had I ever joked in this matter? If you still need_''

Arnold pushed aside his son and brought Kyle inside. ''The day I saw you, I knew you would capture my son's heart.'' His happiness has no bounds today. He hoped it's not a dream only to get woken up to see his son's angry bird face at the mention of marriage.

Kyle sheepishly smiled at Arnold. Did he really meant it? 

''You told the same thing to Aunt Mariella's daughter,'' Kurt mentioned, walking behind them.

''Did I? Sorry, I have a poor memory.'' Replied Arnold. He called all the servants and introduced Kyle as his daughter-in-law.

Kyle glanced at Kurt, her eyes pleading to step in. Kurt raised his hands in surrender. He mouthed a sorry to her. His dad is not going to stop with the servants.

''Our Kurt is lucky.'' One of the maids said. "We need a bonus, sir.''

''Your daughter-in-law is beautiful, sir.'' Another one butted. ''I agree with luke. We need a bonus.''

''Alright. Everybody will get a bonus,'' Arnold looked like he had conquered the great wall of China. ''Firstly my my daughter-in-law should get impressed by your cooking skills."

The servants eagerly nodded, and went into action, to impress the soon to be mistress of this house.

''Umm..uncle..'' Kyle was moritfied. ''Just my name would suffice."

''Sooner or later, I need to get used to it. I am a person who believes practice makes a man perfect.'' Arnold said. ''Coming to the main topic, when am I expecting grandson and granddaughter?''

Kyle: '' ''

Isn't he too fast? They hadn't yet kissed properly, and he is thinking about grandchildren?
