Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

After having dinner with his grandfather, Oliver went back to his penthouse. He would have usually gone to his mansion but as his sister is overseas, he is currently staying in the penthouse near to the hospital. 

The dinner was not like he expected. His grandfather has been poking about his personal affairs, insisting him to go on blind dates with his friends' granddaughters. 

But Oliver could only deny. He didn't know why but everytime his grandfather brought up about blind dates and marriages, he could only think of Kyra. 

"Bro, it seems like you are in a bad mood. Dinner didn't go well with your grandfather?" Daniel, Matthew's cousin and Oliver's best friend, asked as soon as Oliver entered the house. 

"Daniel, when did you come?", Oliver asked, surprised to see his best friend here. Shouldn't he be with Collins' family travelling back to London??

"A couple of hours back. I will be staying here for two days or so", Daniel said, sipping his beer. 

"Have any work in the City??", Oliver asked, pouring orange juice for him. As he has surgeries to perform, he avoids drinking during weekends. 

"Bro, I will be staying in your house for two or three days till renovations will be done in my house", Daniel elaborated, as his friend had mistook his words.  

"You are shifting here from London??", Oliver asked, surprised. Daniel is a very important figure in Collins Hospitals. He would never leave his work there just to work here. 

"Yes. I will be officially joining the day after tomorrow.", Daniel said.

"Why so sudden??", Oliver asked, suspicious of this sudden decision of his friend. 

"I think I might appreciate the change in environment once in a while. Moreover, your uncle. The president of the hospital has offered me a good deal.", Daniel answered. 

"It was a couple of years back. Why did you decide to take it now??"Oliver questioned, still not convinced. 

"Bro, I wanted to get away from London, all right?? And, Gynecology department is more challenging here rather than there.", Daniel said. 

Oliver decided to let go of the topic and nodded his head. He is suspicious because Daniel decided to shift here just a few weeks after Kyra decided to work here. Yes, he knows that Daniel only sees Kyra as his best friend (Ryan, Kyra's fourth brother)'s sister and his cousin(Matthew)'s crush.

But, this is too coincidental.

"Where will you be living and for how long?"Oliver asked.  

Daniel was working in Collins Hospitals from his residency and has never left it. He is a director and head of the surgery department. 

He is famous for both his looks and work as a gynecologist. He is treated the same like Oliver is being treated here. 

"Crescent Garden. I will be staying here over a year", Daniel answered. 

"Crescent Garden? Isn't it the same place as Kyra's??"Oliver asked. 

"Yes. I bought the next house to hers.", Daniel replied with a smirk, raising to his feet. 

"And, bro, I am not gonna snatch your girlfriend. Don't worry!", he teased. 

"What girlfriend?? Don't talk nonsense.", Oliver immediately chided. But the change in his voice and that expression on his face only made Daniel laugh more. 

"When I told you that I bought the house next to hers, the expression on your face is priceless. You were looking as if you were envious of me", Daniel chuckled. 

"Are you really jealous?? Do you really like her that much?? I have never seen you care for a girl this much after your break up.", Daniel said. 

Oliver didn't answer but gulped all his juice in one go and slumped on the couch. 

"To be honest, my heart is in a mess right now, Dan." Oliver said. 

"The connection and emotions I feel with Kyra is…", Oliver stopped and looked at the horizon. 

"Man, I can't describe it," he added, failing to describe them.  

"So, you like her??", Daniel asked, more like demanding the answer. 

"I…", Oliver stopped for a few seconds. 

"She is all over my thoughts. Her face, her voice, that magnetic smile… they even come in my dreams. I won't deny that I am attracted to her, Daniel.", Oliver stopped again. 

"Go on. Split it out.", Daniel urged. 

"I can't see her getting sad and I couldn't stop myself from caring for her. Sometimes, it is like I could feel her pain if she is in pain. I get happy if she is in a good mood. She impacts me a lot and I freak out because of it. I can't control myself in front of her.", Oliver said. 

"All my facade gets stripped out in front of her. Though we have known each other just for a short span of time,", Oliver was about to continue but Daniel completed it for him. 

"You feel like you know her for years. You feel like you could trust her and open all your emotions to her without any restraints and hesitation. You feel comfortable with her.", 

Oliver was stupefied for a few seconds. This is the first time he was left speechless like this. Honestly, this time it really took him off guard after hearing Daniel's words.  

How could Daniel be so precise??

"How??" Oliver asked. 

"Bro, I heard the same words from my cousin Matthew. Kyra has that charm that could make you feel like this.", Daniel answered, chuckling as if this is nothing new. 

"She has a huge man following, bro. And, she has so many friends who feel the same as you. I can understand why you are swayed by her. Seems like you are not the exception as well.", Daniel laughed before walking back to the guest room. 

Oliver sat there, all again taken aback by Daniel's words.
