New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 344 - Dated??

The Elite Five were at the cafeteria, causing a minor sensation, as always. The group at their table was now much bigger, making those watching completely envious and wishing they could have been the one that had been added.

Sayuri observed the group, wishing that she could have a spot that could see Kyle clearly. That would have made it easier for her to read his lips but nope. Turns out the seating positions in the cafeteria were well 'booked' in advance and was very organised. All thanks to that ridiculously named 'Protectors of Kyle' group.

Ali was sitting there, staring at Sophia.

After a while, she put down her spoon and glared at Ali, "If you wanted me to go on a diet, you should have said so rather than making me uncomfortable to eat with your staring."

Ali went into a panic and quickly put his hands out to take hers, saying, "No no no! Please, continue eating! Eat, eat, eat all you want!"

Sophia's eyes narrowed, "So you're saying I eat a lot?"

Ali reached over and gripped Sophia's hands tightly, his eyes full of worry, "No no no! It's not that at all ... I'm just saying, you should not worry about anything but just eat all that you want like always. "

"So you're saying I'm a glutton?" Sophia asked with a frown.

"No! I mean, you can eat whatever you want and I wouldn't mind! Not even if you're fat!"

"So now you're saying I'm going to be fat?!"

Ali's eyes bulged wide open, wondering how he got into this mess. Just why is everything he is saying being twisted? He gulped, wondering if he should even say anything anymore since he was only digging his grave deeper and deeper.

Just why is he such a dork whenever he is talking to her??

Just then, Sophia couldn't stand it any longer as she watched Ali's panic-stricken face and started laughing.

"I'm just messing with you, Ali," Sophia said gently, "But please stop staring. I really can't eat when you're looking at me like that."

"I'm sorry," Ali said sheepishly, "I just can't help it. You're just too beautiful."

Sophia blushed, and awkwardly tried to pull her hands out of his, but he held on.

"I can stare at you all day long and not get bored," Ali said without reserve.

"Ali. Please," Xing Han said from the side, "Some of us are trying to eat here."

With that, Sophia's face got really red and Ali reluctantly let go of her hand. He turned to glare at Xing Han who was beside him. Xing Han wasn't perturbed at all, as he gave a gagging motion and then stuffed some food in his mouth.

"Did you really have to say that?" Ali asked.

"Yethh.." Xing Han answered, splattering some food particles out of his mouth.

"EWW, Xing Han!!" Ali shouted, jerking back.

Xing Han just grinned at him, wriggled his eyebrows and swallowed, "Yes, that's how your PDAs look like to me. So there."

"My PDAs look like parts of chewed up food being strewn around?" Ali asked, his eyebrow raised.

Xing Han raised an eyebrow as well and replied, "Looks like being in love has turned your brain to mush, dear brother. I was referring to the gagging motion earlier."

Xing Han then pointed at Samty who were at the end of the table with his chin. They were in a world of their own as they ate silently, their eyes on each other. Betty had a shy smile on her face while Sam would occasionally feed her some of his food (and she, hers) or wipe the edge of her mouth.

"See, now that is a proper couple," Xing Han stated, "They don't disturb normal people around them and manage to look so sickeningly sweet at the same time."

"You mean, single dogs like you can't take looking?" Ali smirked.

"I can look, not a problem," Xing Han said, "It's your cheesy lines that sends shivers up my spine."

"Oh, stop making it hard on the poor man, Xing Han," piped up Kyle in front, "Different people have different ways of expressing their feelings."

"Yes, thank you!" Ali said, spreading his arms towards Kyle.

"We just have to learn to live with his cheesiness," Kyle continued, "After all, not everyone can be Sam or a Kyle."

"Hah," Ali snorted, "We'll see just how much a smooth talker you'll be when you start dating."

Sarah's ears perked up at this, and paused slightly in her eating. Dating?

Kyle darted a look at Ali, then felt it was best that Sarah knew beforehand anyway. Since she's the President of the 'PoK' (Protectors of Kyle), she would find out sooner or later.

"Well, yeah," Kyle replied, looking at Ali (and at Sarah from the corner of his eye), "Just wait and you'll be amazed by my suaveness and awesomeness. My lines won't be cheesy."

"My lines aren't cheesy, are they?" Ali asked Sophia worriedly.

Sophia shook her head, wishing that the conversation topic would be something else so she asked Kyle, "You sound like you're .... I don't know. I mean, is there someone you're seeing right now?"

Kyle turned slowly to face Sophia, who was beside him, giving her a rather sexy smile as placed his chin on his palm with his elbow on the table.

"Why? Are you interested in being my first one?" Kyle asked, his voice deep and sexy, his expression making one think of the double meaning to the sentence.

"Kyle ... " Ali growled warningly.

Kyle gave Ali a flying kiss, "Oh relax. Sophia only has eyes for you. See how shell-shocked she is. Just making my point to you that I'm not cheesy."

Kyle went back to normal and said, "Sorry, Sophia. Just wanted to mess around with Ali. To answer your question, not now but yes, I had when filming John Wick ..."

"WHAT?!" screamed Sarah in complete surprise, making everyone turn to their table.
