novelAnnoying

Sayuri decided that this her final attempt at getting Kyle's heart.
No. Why should she?
She started thinking of how he had been acting like when they had been living together in Country M. He was so attentive, so loving, and so ... so ...
So f*cking annoying!!
She started hitting Kyle's head for no reason other than the fact that she suddenly found him annoying. Why must he be so nice? Why did he treat her so well before? Why did he even agree to all of her ridiculous conditions without protest?
Why? Just why?
It would make any woman think that he had feelings for her. Romantic feelings.
Just thinking about it made her gnash her teeth.
So he wasn't going to ever fall in love, ever again, huh? So take that! And that!
She was having fun smacking his head, while he just sat there, grimacing but not retaliating or defending himself in any way.
She found it quite therapeutic, really.
Kyle took all the hits without moving, letting her have her way. She was pregnant, after all. He then thought that the next six months were going to be very, very long indeed. If she's like this in the first trimester, he dreads to think how she's going to be like in the final trimester when she's heavily pregnant.
He had never seen Sayuri so emotional and irrational before, and knew that it was due to her pregnancy. He also knew that she should not be aggravated too much, as it would not be good for their baby as well.
She had to be pampered and taken care of. Being pregnant isn't easy, and it was up to him to make sure that she was in the best frame of mind - and body - to carry their baby to term.
He definitely had a lot to do.
The first thing though ... he had to tell his parents.
Kyle cringed.

Sayuri was still in Kyle's office when Kay burst into the room, gasping.
She looked inside, to see Sayuri on the sofa, leaning on a fluffy pillow and a blanket was over her lap. In front of her, on the coffee table, were some drinks and a variety of snacks. Kyle was sitting at his desk, doing his work while rubbing his head occasionally, as if it hurt.
Kay glared at Kyle, saying, "How could you leave her alone like this?!"
Kyle looked up, rolled his eyes and said, "She's not alone. Also, I told her she can go to the room at the back to lie down, but she wants to be here."
'And hit me when she's in the mood' Kyle thought to himself, looking through yet another investment proposal. Luckily, all the things that could be thrown, have been thrown so he had been spared since then.
"I'm gonna be an Auntie!" Kay giggled as she sat down on the floor next to Sayuri.
Sayuri just smiled, feeling shy suddenly.
Kay couldn't help herself and started patting Sayuri's head.
"So when are you going to tell Mum and Dad?" Kay asked Kyle, taking a piece of sardine puff.
"Erk, " Kyle gulped and scratched his head.
"I told my Grandfather and Uncle, " Sayuri said, hugging a cushion, "You're on your own with this one. Just remember, we are NOT getting married."
"I know, I know, " mumbled Kyle.
"And no telling them of my conditions either, " Sayuri continued as she looked at both Kyle and Kay, "That's just between us."
"Alright, got it, " Kyle replied and Kay nodded, zipping her lips.
She hugged Sayuri, and then whispered, "Thank you."
Sayuri looked at Kay in puzzlement.
"For what?" Sayuri asked softly.
"For keeping the baby, for one, " Kay replied, "And putting up with my doofus of a brother."
Kay let go of Sayuri, and said to her as she looked at her in the eye, "You will always have me backing you up for anything and everything."
"Even if it means going against your own brother?" Sayuri queried.
"Of course, " Kay answered with a snort, "He may be my brother, but it doesn't mean he does not make mistakes. He can be so stubborn. You'll need all the help you can get."
"I can hear you, you know, " Kyle said.
Kay and Sayuri turned to look at him. Sayuri just glared at him while Kay stuck out her tongue.
"Who asked you to eavesdrop?" Sayuri asked in displeasure.
"My bad, my bad, " Kyle said, raising his hands in surrender, "I'll be done soon, so we can get going."
"Where are you going?" Kay asked.
"It depends on what Sayuri has decided on, " Kyle replied.
"I like this one, " Sayuri said, pointing at a red file.
"Okay, " Kyle said, getting up and taking his coat, "Apartment Y it is."
Kyle had shown her a few files of possible places to stay. It was a mix of apartments and houses, and some were in the area and some were outside the city. All were properties that he owned.
It was fully furnished and one could move in at anytime. It would require a bout of cleaning and have some groceries stocked up, but generally, one could move in within a day if needed.
For now, they were just going to go and check it out. Have Sayuri see if she wanted anything else to be bought to furnish it. She would be moving in next week or so, after settling with her work.
Her job was flexible, in the sense that she could work from home. Which was perfect right now. 𝗳𝗿ℯℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯𝘯oνe𝗹 - 🅽🅽novel
When they reached the apartment, Sayuri oohed and ahhed, highly satisfied. It wasn't too big nor too small. Just perfect for a family of three.
Well, a pretend family of three.
A three-bedroom apartment: she would take the master bedroom, Kyle would stay in the guest bedroom and the remaining bedroom would be a nursery.
It was bittersweet.
