Her Mysterious Life – In love with her secret savior

"You want to do something so badly but when it is finally happening, you can't bring yourself to do it. Have you ever come across situations like these?" Kyra asked after some time as she looked at her brother. 

Ryan frowned, a little confused and surprised by the question. Though her question is vague, he could tell that the answer to this question is something very important to his sister Kyra. 

So, he didn't dare to answer it lightly. 

"It happened to me many times, sis. I often face it regardless of whether it is my personal or professional life. However, my answer will depend on what exactly you are implying by that question." he answered. 

He badly wanted to work in some movies but due to the risks and dangers, he had to stop himself from doing them. 

There are many rumors about his love life. Netizens and his fans often ship him with many other actresses and models. 

He badly wants to announce to the world that he already has someone in his heart and the tumors are false. But whenever he decides to do it, some or other things convince him to not do it. 

Meanwhile, Kyra took a deep breath. " It… it's about Oliver." She managed to speak. 

"What did he do? Did he pressurize you into anything?" Ryan asked immediately as his protective instincts kicked in. 

"No. No, bro. He didn't." Kyra immediately retorted. 

Ryan is surprised to see how she is defending Oliver. It made him jealous but he also felt happy because his sister is taking steps to invite someone willingly into her life and her heart. 

It also worried him as there are chances that she might get hurt in the process. 

"We… we were talking about something and somehow the situation turned a little he.. *cough*.. heated." Kyra said, a little awkward as this is the first time she is talking about her love life. 

She never got a chance to talk about this as she never had a love life before Oliver came into her life. 

"Oh" Ryan managed to utter. As this is his first time talking about this, even he felt a little awkward. They have teased each other many times but they never spoke seriously about this stuff. 

"Then?" Ryan added as Kyra didn't continue speaking. 

"Well… uhm… we were about to kiss. This time, both of us knew what we were doing and, deep inside my heart, I wanted to kiss him as well."

"I just wanted to confess that I have feelings for him and that I want to give a chance to our relationship." Kyra said, her voice, emotional. 

"That situation was perfect! It was perfect timing to confess everything just with that kiss. No words would have expressed my feelings for him more clearly than that kiss but, I… I ruined it at the last minute" Kyra continued. 

"I couldn't do that and I started becoming stressed by that. My nervousness was very obvious that Oliver could only back down." 

"I could see in his eyes that he is disappointed. Maybe he got frustrated and angry as well. I flirt, I give hints and I let him get close to me but I just stop there. Who wouldn't get impatient ??" Kyra continued pouring all her worry into her words. 

"It's obvious that he knows about how I feel for him. However, Oliver is understanding and is giving me all the time I want to confess back. He is a gentleman but every person has a saturation point to their patience." 

"What if he gets tired by waiting and misunderstands that I am only playing with his feelings? What if he moves on?? Even imagining it is making my heart break." 

"Why am I not able to confess bravely?" Kyra asked, her voice choked as she sobbed into her hands. 

Seeing his sister cry, Ryan felt as if his heart got pierced by thousands of needles. 

If there is something he never wanted to see, it is his sister crying. It brings back the memories of how fragile and broken his sister was, when he met her for the first time. 

"Kyra " could only call her in vain as he didn't know how to comfort her. He was there by her side at many situations like these but those were situations that had her past, her trauma and the scars her family left behind. 

This is the first time she is crying for a man. 

"You know I like Sofia right?" he asked and that made Kyra look at her brother. 

She nodded her head as her red eyes fixated on his face. 

"And, I know that she likes me back. I know that she is pretending to like my twin brother, so she could make me jealous and confess my feelings for her." he said. 

"You know?" Kyra asked. She always knew that Ryan liked Sofia. And, she is also aware that Sofia loves Ryan. 

But when she asked Sofia why she is staying quiet and is pretending to be close to her fifth brother, Sofia replied that she wants to play for a while with Ryan. 

Kyra didn't interfere anymore as it is something too personal to Sofia and Ryan. She didn't want to disturb her best friend Sofia's plan…

"I know. Of course I do. And, I badly want to confess to Sofia but I am not able to do it no matter how many times I try."

"So, you see, it is not only you. It happens to many people and I think Oliver is understanding enough to understand what you are going through." Ryan said. 

"Why are you hesitant to confess to Sofia?" Kyra asked. She wants to understand why she is hesitant and she might be able to realise if she gets to understand why other's are hesitant like her. 

"Well, what I and Sofia has is complicated, Kyra. There are many things I have to consider before I take any action. Our past, well, it's not that simple and I have something's I have to clear before I can confess to her." Ryan said, keeping the details brief. They are not things he is comfortable to share. 

He is an idiot, a fool in past and did something's he is not happy with. 

Kyra pursed her lips. 

"But things are not complex in between me and Oliver. I just have to say, 'lets give our relationship a chance' and everything will be sorted out. There are no external factors stopping me. So, why am I hesitatant?" 

"I decided to give it a chance but I am not able to confess it. I think I am ready but I am not and, I really don't understand why!!" Kyra said. 

Ryan patted his sister's head. 

"Are you worried that Oliver might get impatient?" He asked. He knows how it feels because he is worried about same when it comes to Sofia. 

Kyra nodded her head. 

"Sis, he needs to be patient if he really wants to get together with you. This is not a one-time situation for him and I think you need to tell him that your past is complicated and it might take extra effort and time. Ryan said. 

"I don't want him to know. It might look like I am trying to buy time, which I am clearly not trying to do." Kyra said, her voice filled with disappointment. 

"Sis, let me tell you something. You guys have to have a proper communication about everything in order to have this relationship work. If not now, you have to tell him about everything at one or other point of time." Ryan said. 

"And, are you really ready for that?" he asked. 

Kyra pursed her lips. 

"Why am I feeling like you are making this even more worse for me?" Kyra pouted. 

She didn't think of this until now. It made her nervous as her past is not something she is comfortable to talk with. 

When Ryan saw the look on hid sister's face, he could only scold himself for letting his tongue slip. 

"Stop thinking about future and for now, just let everything flow naturally. If he is really 'the one' for you, he will understand and wait for you patiently." 

"Just like Sofia is waiting for me, he will do the same for you. I think Sofia knows how I feel about her and I think she is already aware that I have something to do before I can confess to her." 

"Just like her, Oliver will understand that you need some more time and wait for you to come to him. So, stop worrying about the rest and focus on getting to know him." 

"Maybe, once you understand him totally, the hesitation you are subconsciously feeling will get erased and you will be able to confess."

"This is how a relationship should start like, in order to bear the fruits of love. You can't force yourself to take a step forward and start dating him. If you do that, everything will be just as stressful as it is now for both you and Oliver." 

"It will only fail the relationship you are trying to build" he said. 

Kyra looked at her brother, slightly surprised that he could think this maturely when it comes to live and relationships. 

She always thought he is failing to win Sofia because he don't understand how love works.. But it seems like he is pretending to be foolish.
