She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 128 - BULLYING KYLE

"Wipe that smile off your face. You look silly." Luiz commented when he saw his brother coming inside the room. "Yen, will be talking to you later."

Kyle stiffened and looked at his brother. "Did she tell you what it will be about?"

"Aside from your love life, I don't know what else will you guys talk about."

"Did she look angry when I left earlier?"

Luiz took a deep breath and sighed. "Did you expect her to be happy? Yen had been working so much for us. Of course, she'd be worried and upset. It's time for you to man up and think of what you should do. You have to choose between studies and Kath."

"I can choose both. Just because I'm going to have a girl, doesn't mean I'd stop studying." Kyle retorted.? "And besides-"

'Knock! Knock! Knock!'

Kyle stopped talking and went to open the door of their room. To his surprise, it was Stefan who was standing there.

"Time for dinner. Ayen asked me to call you." Stefan didn't say anything further than that and left to go back to the kitchen and helped Cayenne.

When he was inside the kitchen, he couldn't help but chuckle. "Your brother looked scared. Luiz must have played his own role pretty good."

"Hehe. Let's just scare him a little. I don't plan to go overboard. Wait here. I'll call my mother out."

"Okay."

Cayenne walked towards her mother's room and she happened to meet Kyle in the living room but she didn't say anything. She completely ignored him.

The confidence that Kyle had earlier when he was talking with Kath was now gone. He was really scared that his sister's mad at him. The thing that they never wanted was to hurt Cayenne, make her mad or upset her.

"Good luck." Luiz commented and patted his brother's back. It adds up to the anxiety he's currently feeling.

As soon as their mother came out, they all went to their dining room and ate their dinner. Kyle kept glancing at his sister but Cayenne didn't look at him at all. She didn't speak much either. Most of the time, only Stefan conversed with them and he would also make sure that Cayenne was eating well beside him.

In fact, most of the dishes were the food that Cayenne likes.

"Yen, about earlier –"

"Let's not talk about it while having dinner." Cayenne interrupted him and continued to eat. She didn't even glance at him when she spoke.

Kyle was getting more anxious now. He just wanted to skip dinner and talk to her as soon as possible. Because of anxiety, he was eating slowly and he would paus from time to time.

"Eat properly." Cayenne snapped at him.

"Hn."

Their mother looked at them and felt the tension between her children. "I don't know what's going on between you two but I hope you will fix this tonight."

"Hn." Cayenne perfunctorily.

In truth, her mother was also told about their plan to bully Kyle a little. Cayenne informed her earlier when she called for her to come out and eat dinner.

Stefan just smiled helplessly towards Kyle as if he couldn't do anything to help him pacify Cayenne.

After an hour, the long dinner had finally ended. Luiz took the initiative to wash the dishes while their mother rested in the living room.

"Let's talk inside my room." Cayenne told her brother and took the lead to come inside her room followed by Stefan and Kyle.

Kyle looked towards Stefan, wondering why he was coming along with them.

Sensing his gaze, Stefan looked at him with a poker face. "I won't join the conversation but I want to stay beside my girl."

"Oh. Okay."

As soon as they got inside, Cayenne sat on her bed. Kyle took a chair and sat in front of her. Stefan was just leaning on the door, watching the two siblings confronted each other.

"Yen, about Kath."

"Yeah. Tell me about her." Cayenne took a pillow and hugged it. Her face was expressionless making Kyle unable to tell what was in her mind as of the moment.

"She's the girl I like for three years now. She's my classmate. She's the same age as me and she's very kind and polite. She's not very smart but she does her best to match with me."

"So, with your disappearing act earlier without even letting me know, what was that all about? Have you decided to date her?"

"Yes."

"And what about your studies? You know that I have been doing my best to let you study in a good school." Saying that St. Louis Academy was a good school was an understatement. In fact, this academy was one of the best schools in City A. Cayenne grinded her teeth to endure everything just to send her brothers to this school. It has a primary and secondary department which made it easier for Luiz and Kyle to check on each other, gaining the nickname of "handsome brothers".

Kyle clasped his hands together and started into his sister's eyes. "I will never fail you. I will make it our priority to study. She will never bring me down."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Hn. I will do my best to keep up with my studies."

Cayenne sized up her brother for a long time before letting out a wide grin on her lips. "We were just teasing you."

"Huh?"

"I'm not really upset. I know that there will come a day that you will like someone. I just want to make sure that you won't ignore your studies for a girl."

"Then, since it's okay, can I introduce her formally to the family next time?"

"Sure. You should do that. In that way, she'll know that you're serious about her."

Stefan was stunned when he heard her reply. 'I didn't introduce her to my family, is she thinking that I'm not serious?'
