LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT - SEASON 2 CHAPTER 15
“Good morning,” said Lyra. She was preparing breakfast for Torin and her.
“Morning,” Torin answered. Lyra was wearing her business suit that perfectly fitted her and emphasized her curvy body.
“Can you breathe in that at all?” Torin asked that made Lyra laugh.
“Of course, the Lius are generous with their legal team. I’m even provided with nice suits like this one. Many people have actually complimented me because of nice assets, so a business suit like this looks good on me,” Lyra proudly announced that made Torin twitch.
She was indeed gifted with a perfect body, but he was irritated knowing that someone was feasting at her.
He sighed and looked at his mobile phone.
Lana still hadn’t contacted him. He wanted to try his luck with Lana because she was his ideal woman. So he wanted to, at least, try and see if his heart would finally change its direction.
But it seemed that fate was really cruel with him. Lana appeared to be not interested in him at all.
‘Cruel fate back-off!’ he mused as if he tried to rebuke a bad omen.
Lyra, on the other hand, looked intently at Torin. She felt weird since the night Torin made fun of her.
Well, it was not the first time her heart raced fast like that beside Torin, but she did want to entertain those feelings because she knew that Torin only saw her as a little sister.
She quickly withdrew her eyes when Torin raised his head and said, “Try this. This is the first time I cooked it.”
She put some at Torin’s plate.
“By the way, we have an event later, so I will be home very late,” said Lyra as she paused but then added, “and probably drunk too.”
Torin’s forehead creased as he asked, “Drunk? Then don’t drink!”
Lyra laughed and commented, “It’s inevitable, Bro.”
Torin raised an eyebrow as he said, “Call me once it’s finished. I’ll pick you up.”
“No need, someone will send me off. The team really take good care of us, so they won’t let me leave alone for sure,” said Lyra simply.
“Tell me where’s that event at least,” Torin murmured.
Lana sighed and replied, “Alright Bro, I’ll text the address to you.”
‘d@mn that ‘BRO’ word!’ Torin hissed inwardly.

Keira briskly washed her face and teeth and put on her most conservative sleepwear.
She smiled at her reflection in the mirror before she got her favorite pillow and ran towards the door.
She wanted to surprise Zach and sleep with him that night. She inputted Zach’s password and entered his condo.
“Hmm, he’s already inside his room this early?” Keira mumbled because he was not in the living room or kitchen.
She gently opened the door of his room and gasped, “Wow!”
Zach’s room was very organized and clean, very different from hers.
She saw the lights were on in the bathroom. Zach was probably getting ready for sleep.
Keira looked around the room.
Zach’s room had that masculine simplicity touch, it’s suited his personality very well.
There’s a simple bed in neutral colors but subtly spiced up with a bold accent. The bedroom presented a sleek, simple and sophisticated interior design where function reigned supreme.
She grinned mischievously as she whispered, “That bed is evidently calling for me!”
She walked silently, making sure that she was not making any sound, as she laid down on the bed and covered herself with the comforter.
She was giggling inwardly as she thought about whether Zach would notice her in the dim light or not.
However, Keira fell asleep because of the comfort of the bed and Zach’s already familiar scent around her.
Zach came out of the bathroom and creased his forehead when he noticed a bulge on his bed. He walked toward it and noticed Keira’s slippers on the floor.
He shook his head and smiled lovingly.
“How can she be so bold?” he murmured as he gently slid under the comforter.
He could hear Keira’s light breathing, indicating that she was already asleep.
He hugged her, and Keira moved to face him.
“I’m sorry. Did I wake you up?” Zach whispered.
Keira smiled with her eyes still closed and said, “No, it’s just a shallow sleep, General. I’m supposed to surprise you or scare you like you have an uninvited guest, maybe a ghost. See, I’m wearing white sleepwear. But I guess I failed.”
This time Keira had already opened her eyes.
She saw Zach chuckle as he said with narrowed eyes, “You are indeed not invited. How come you’re so brave, coming inside of the most dangerous room in the world?”
Keira raised her brows as her lips pouted.
“Uninvited?! Then why have you given me your password? Change it, so I won’t be able to come inside next time. Especially when I’m UNINVITED!” hissed Keira before she turned away from Zach.
“My falling star, why are you so sensitive tonight?” Zach asked laughing as he hugged Keira tightly from her back.
“I’m just teasing you… Turn around and look at me,” Zach instructed.
Keira let out a long, deep sigh before she followed Zach’s request.
Zach cupped her face as he smiled and said, “Come here anytime you want but avoid this room as much as possible. Do you want to torture me?”
Keira, who took a bit of time before she totally got what Zach was implying, crumpled her face…
“You can actually do anything you want with me… I don’t mind at all.” Keira whispered before she kissed Zach on his lips.
Zach released Keira after intense kissing…
He buried Keira’s face in his chest and hugged her tightly as he whispered, “Let’s take things slow. We’ll eventually go there.”
‘For now, let’s get to know each other more and build a firm foundation for our relationship. A foundation that is so sturdy that nothing will be able to break it, no matter what comes our way.’ Zach thought inwardly.

That same night, Torin shook his head, looking at Lyra’s drunk walking as she came out of the restaurant room. He quickly ran towards her.
“You’re so wasted!” he hissed as he supported Lyra to walk steadily towards the car.
“Oh, Bro… I really had a great time tonight. They all praised me, saying that I am full of potential to become one of our country’s most sought-after lawyers. Hahaha, those two-faced people! How can I become the most sought-after lawyer if they keep giving me clerical works?!” Lana shouted in her stuttering voice.
“Let’s seriously talk about your problems at work once you are sober! Geez! You drunkard!” Torin complained as he settled her in the passenger seat.
Lyra was so frisky that while Torin was fastening her seatbelt, she pinched his nose saying, “When you are scolding me like that, you are so cute, Bro!”
Then she cupped Torin’s face as if she did not get contented with what she was seeing.
“Look, you’re so handsome. How come you are still single, Bro?! You should get married soon!” said Lyra as she touched Torin’s eyebrow, nose…
When Torin felt Lyra’s hand on his lips, he abruptly flinched and exclaimed, “d@mn! Stop it, Lyra!”
But the latter just laughed at him and pulled him even closer.
“I’m curious how a kiss would actually feel like. Can you show me?” Lyra whispered before her lips touched Torin’s.
Torin stiffed at that very instant. He felt his world froze!
The kiss deepened… But then it stopped…
Torin opened his eyes.
“What’s this?! How come you just passed out like this?!” Torin complained seeing how heavy Lyra’s breathing was.
He let out a frustrated sigh as he gently closed the car’s door.
He stood there unmoving for a minute as he loudly inhaled and exhaled. It was possible that tomorrow Lyra wouldn’t even remember what she had done.
As usual, he would be the only one who would be tormented with the memories about it all.
“Darn!” he cursed irritably as he regretted that he insisted to pick Lyra up instead of calling Zach to do it.
“Why do you always torture yourself like this, Torin,” he mumbled annoyingly as he walked to the driver’s side.
………
The next morning, Keira received another call from John.
“What? Are you sure?” Keira burst out as her eyes narrowed and her face became gloomy.
Then a smirk replaced that dark expression.
“Such a coincidence, huh? Let’s see how things would turn out then…” she mumbled.
“Alright, keep me updated even about the slightest details.” Said Keira before hanging up the phone.
“Geez, Miss is on fire, tasking us a lot, urghh?” Commented John and made Jim laugh.
“Here, drink this and let’s hurry they will soon travel to the General’s hometown,” said Jim as he started eating his burger inside the car as they waited for Zach’s car to get out from the building’s parking.
They still followed Miss Kiera even when she was with the General, but they made sure their distance was enough to not get noticed or become a disturbance, especially on their dates because Miss Keira would definitely poke their eyes out.
“Gosh! I just hope they won’t stop at the middle of the road like before!” Complained John as he recalled that night when Zach’s car suddenly pulled to the side of the road.
“Well, get ready because I’m sure they’ll have a lot of stopovers in the future. You know, lovers these days can’t help the urge to show their affection towards each other regardless of the place,” uttered Jim laughing.
After an hour, Keira and Zach had already left the building to travel to Zach’s hometown.
“If you want, take a nap, because it will be a long ride,” Zach said.
“We will arrive probably past noon so you should rest,” he added.
Keira moved her body sideways and stared at Zach as she said, “Do you watch primetime news? At which network?”
Zach laughed at Keira’s question and said, “Of course, I do. Is there any other reliable network than the one managed by the Cooper? Why are you suddenly asking? Ahh, you want me to not miss a single episode since you will be one of their field reporters, right?”
Keira’s face wrinkled as she mumbled, “I’m not the main anchor news reporter yet. Can you skip watching that news until I get the position as the main anchor?”
Zach burst out laughing and looked at Keira, but he quickly stopped, seeing how deadly serious Keira’s face was at that moment.
“But I have to watch and monitor the news whether I like it or not. And we rely more on the media under Cooper Corporation,” explained Zach.
Keira moved and looked at the road in front of them before she let out a long, deep sigh and murmured, “Don’t mind me… Anyway, I will work hard, so I’ll get promoted quickly. That way I will be the only one you’ll see during primetime news.
Zach had his car on a hazard to move at the roadside all of a sudden.
Then he held Keira’s shoulder and moved so that he could look at her closely.
“Hey, what’s wrong? I don’t need to watch the news for that because my eyes see only you at all times. Don’t you know that? Even if you’re not with me…” said Zach as he held her chin and continued, “This face is always popping up in my head. You also invaded the General’s eyes, I guess my falling star scattered in the General’s body that…”
“Oh, stop exaggerating!” Keira complained as she smacked Zach’s chest. This time she couldn’t help but chuckle at Zach’s over-exaggerated words that were aimed to make her feel better.
“But I’m not exaggerating. Come here,” said Zach as he pulled Keira for a hug. He was a bit confused about why Keira was suddenly acting weird because he felt like it’s a bit childish, though she looked cute acting that way.
From a distance, John was cursing…
“I really h@?? whenever there is stopover like this. What are they doing anyway?” John exclaimed.
Jim laughed and commented, “You dummy, what do you think they would do? Play rock, scissors, and paper?”
John scratched his head as he started the engine when he noticed that Zach’s car had already moved back to the road.
