Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

"You are the girlfriend you just spoke about?", Lisa asked incredulously. 

Kyra nodded her head, chuckling. 

"I can't believe my best friend is no longer single.", Lisa said, sniffing her nose, shedding imaginary tears.

Oliver looked at Lisa and then shifted his attention to Kyra, 'What happened?' he asked with his eyes. 

"All my friends, except Chloe, are dramatic. Including Lisa. She is just emotional and in shock.", Kyra told Oliver. 

"I might be dramatic, Mr. Miller. However, I am really shocked this time.", Lisa defended herself. 

"What is there to be shocked about in this?" Kyra asked her friend. 

"Dude, you just got into a relationship!" Lisa exclaimed. 

"So?", Kyra asked passively. 

"Mr. Miller, you might not believe but we never even imagined Kyra would come into a relationship sometime soon. This is really a shocking news and I must ask, Mr. Miller, what magic have you casted on this lady here?" Lisa asked, making Kyra shake her head. 

"Call me Oliver.", Oliver told Lisa. Looking at how close Kyra and Lisa are, he understood that he needs to be on the good side of Lisa to ask her about Kyra and he could tell that Lisa knows so much about his girlfriend. If lucky, Lisa might even help him in making Kyra fall for him. 

"Call me Lisa then.", Lisa immediately said. Just by looking at her friend's sparkling eyes and heartfelt smile, she could tell that Oliver is the one for Kyra. She found Oliver attractive and wanted to know him more and if possible, progress further but after finding out that he is her friend's man, she immediately threw her intentions out of the window. 

Her friend comes first to her. 

"So, Oliver, tell me how you made this cold hearted lady to fall for you? That too in this short span of time?" Lisa asked. 

"Kyra is not cold hearted. She is sweet and soft hearted.", Oliver said, smiling affectionately at Kyra. 

"You are such a sweet talker. But I am sure that my friend didn't fall just for this.", Lisa said. 

"It's mutual attraction. Fortunately, we got to spend some alone time together and it turned out that we understand each other very well and we opened up to each other not very long after we met." Oliver said, giving an affectionate smile to Kyra. 

Kyra smiled in return and he took her hand into his and entwined their fingers. 

"I didn't expect that I would trust a person in this short span of time. He gave me that sense of security and his sincerity made me take this bold step. We bonded quite well and you know the feeling we get when we see a person and we feel the affinity towards them and we feel like we can trust them.", Kyra said looking at Lisa and then at Oliver. 

Lisa looked at the couple in front of her and her heart melted when she saw how passionate their eyes were when they were looking at each other. 

"I am happy for you, Ky.", Lisa said after the moment between Kyra and Oliver ended when the traffic light turned green. 

Kyra smiled, glad that her friend is okay with her relationship. People around her tend to be overprotective of her, especially when it comes to close relationships she is trying to develop with new people. 

Her brother Ryan and possibly all her brothers would not give in easily if she revealed that she is dating. They would make Oliver's life a living hell till they believe that he is a genuine person. Her parents would do the same too. 

It is Sofia, Sofia alone who has encouraged her. And, Kyra knows that Sofia should have given it a lot of thought before supporting the relationship with Oliver. 

Meanwhile, Oliver smiled and thanked Lisa for supporting them. He knows that Kyra is secretly worried and sad that their relationship had to be kept secret. Support from her friends would add a relief to it. 

"Who else knows?", Lisa asked after a long silence. 

"Excluding you, only one person. Sofia." Kyra said. 

'No wonder Luther doesn't look heartbroken. That pitiful guy doesn't know yet.', Lisa thought. 

"You didn't tell Luther yet?" Lisa asked. She is happy that Kyra found her guy but she felt equally sorry for Luther who has devoted his youth, time and heart to Kyra. 

She knows that Kyra is in no fault here. Luther always told her she is his best friend and it made Kyra believe that there is nothing and there will be nothing between them in future other than friendship. 

It's Luther's fault but he is not to blame as well. Circumstances were like that. 

"I didn't." Kyra answered Lisa's question. Oliver could feel the tension building up in the car. 

Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder why Kyra is keeping it secret from Luther but is fine with revealing it to her other friends. Does she know that Luther has feelings for her and didn't want to hurt him? 

If that's the case, Kyra is left in the tough spot here. Neither could she hurt her best friend by keeping distance nor could she stay quiet and let him maintain his hopes intact. 

"I couldn't. You know that he is more protective than my brothers. After what happened in the med school and the hospital, he is not welcoming when men get close to me." Kyra said. 

'She is really dense when it comes to finding ulterior motives and hidden intentions. There will be one or other things in a person that can't be changed no matter what they go through. This seems to be one of those things for Kyra.' Lisa thought. 

It is one of Kyra's most vulnerable flaws and that is the reason people around her always try to protect her. 

'I just hope that this will change after she takes her revenge and breaks herself free from her past.' Lisa thought. 

For herself, it is the opposite. She overthinks when a man gets close to her and expects a lot in return only to get disappointed and hurt. This thing never changed no matter how much incidents of such happened over time. 

"What happened in med school and the hospital?" Oliver asked, curious. If it is something that might affect their relationship, he should be careful and cautious. 

"When she and Luther were in med school, one guy tried to hit on her. He wanted to take advantage of her and take it to the other level."

"Luther was her senior back then and had many connections and influence. When he found out about it, he was in rage and had that guy suspended." Lisa said. 

Many people started to gossip that he likes Kyra but Luther suppressed that rumour by announcing that Kyra is only a best friend and not the other way around. 

He didn't want Kyra to get hurt because of his crazy fans. That's why he had to lie and on the other hand, Kyra thought that he is being protective because of what happened in her past. 

"Almost the same thing happened in Collins Hospitals too." Lisa said. 

Oliver didn't say anything. He didn't know what to think but one thing is clear. Kyra didn't have romantic feelings for Luther and he, Oliver, is the one she wanted to date. 

It's enough for him. He won't pressurize her into anything. 

Soon, they reached Kyra's house and after a brief goodbye, Kyra left. Lisa excused herself as she had some advice to ask. 

Kyra didn't think much and hurried inside as she had to urgently pee. 

"Mr. Miller, be good to my friend. Don't hurt her. Don't disappoint her expectations and most importantly, be loyal to her. Dating her is no smooth journey and if you can't tolerate the tough road ahead of you, it's better you back off now itself and save my friend from emotional distress." Lisa said, her voice polite and equally dangerous.

"You don't have to worry about my intentions, Ms. Maddison. I truly love Kyra and I feel like she is the one for me. And, I am ready to face all the things, be it bad or good, for her. You have my word." Oliver said, sincerity evident in his voice. 

"If that's the case, I am willing to help you to bring happiness to my best friend." Lisa gave her word in return. 

"I will have to thank you in advance, Ms. Maddison." Oliver said. 

"Let's drop the formalities. Call me Lisa." Lisa said, smiling. 

"So, Lisa, I have a question actually. It has been revolving in my mind for a very long time. Can I ask you?" Oliver asked. 

"As long as it is my place to answer that question, I will answer you honestly." Lisa replied. 

"Everyone has been saying the same thing to me. When I started dating Kyra, she told me the exact same words. When I asked Sofia to help me with my first date with Kyra, she warned me just like how you did now. I just want to know why everyone is stressing on this. And, what are the precautions to take to avoid hurting Kyra." Oliver asked. 

He doesn't know why but he felt friendly towards Lisa more than Sofia.. Her character resemble someone he knows very well but he couldn't remember who that person is.
