Chapter 852 - Bind Him
Whilst Lance was braving himself to enter into a serious relationship, his BFF was thinking of her next move.
Joseph's birthday was coming near and she thought of doing sothing extra special. Give him a hint or sothing.
It was a montous occasion after all.
He would beco a legal a.d.u.l.t.
From what she had observed in the past two years, their family didn't really celebrate birthdays. The most was just a family dinner and a small birthday cake. Nothing fancy.
As she was thinking of this, her phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, Kay was surprised.
Lianne?
"Hey, Lianne," Kay said cheerfully as she picked up the phone.
"Hi, Kay," Lianne replied, "You're planning sothing for Joseph's birthday, right?"
Kay got caught in a coughing fit for a while, "Wha-"
"Yes, or not?" Lianne asked.
"Ye-ess…" Kay began.
"Take him out the next day," Lianne said, "Because if you do it before his birthday, he won't be able to keep a straight face or contain his excitent in front of Papa."
Kay blinked and then looked at the phone, then put the phone back on her ear.
"Lianne, why are you -"
"Look, Kay, if you want to get together with my blockhead brother, you have to be straightforward with him," Lianne said, not beating around the bush.
"What .. what do you an?" Kay asked, aghast.
Was it so obvious?
Lianne gave a sigh and then said gently, "Kay, you know you have a huge hurdle to overco. Not only must you handle my brother who is as dense as concrete, you're going to have to tell my mother about it sooner or later."
Kay gulped.
"First step is to get together with my brother, and that is the easy one. But seriously Kay. You're just doing it all wrong," Lianne said.
"I am?" Kay squeaked.
She couldn't believe she was being told off by soone far younger than her, but she couldn't deny that Lianne had been stating facts that couldn't be denied.
"Rember this. Joseph is dense," Lianne said, "If you are wishy-washy, or drop hints, or just be all round nice to him … he won't get it."
"Since he'll be legal this year, then you'd better make sure that on his birthday, you confess," Lianne told her, "Otherwise, you can be playing this 'going out' ga forever and not even get into first base."
"Confess?!"
"In fact, don't just tell him how you feel, show him," Lianne said, "Kiss him. If you just tell him, he might be too shocked and think he's dreaming. But if you kiss him …"
"Lianne!" Kay gasped, putting her hand on her c.h.e.s.t.
"What? I just said kiss," Lianne said, her voice in a slight huff, "I didn't say sleep with him, did I? Of course, if you did, it would probably be better ..."
"LIANNE!" Kay couldn't help but shout this ti. Is this what a 15-year-old should be saying? Even encouraging?!
"Kay," Lianne said gently, "My brother is in love with you but he thinks he's not good enough for you. If you can't convince him that your feelings for him are just as strong, he'll resist. He'll be happy at first, but he would probably think that he's just a passing fad. He'll start being insecure."
"He's stupid that way," Lianne said, "He wants to be with you more than anything, but he's always afraid to take that step. I have pushed him already, so he's ripe for the picking but you have to hit him hard and fast."
"If you want him, grab him and don't let him go," Lianne said, "Otherwise, the mont Kyle finds out and starts protesting, Joseph might very well be so stupidly noble and 'sacrifice himself to make you happy'."
Kay was silent, listening intently.
"Was it so obvious?" Kay asked softly.
"No," Lianne replied, "If it was, don't you think my mother would have said sothing by now?"
"You have a point," Kay replied, relieved.
"Mum may be blind about her own feelings, but she's pretty sharp about others," Lianne said, "Sooner or later, she'll notice so you better get together with Joseph before that happens."
"You … you don't think it's weird? and Joseph?" Kay asked.
"Why should I think it's weird? Because of the age gap? Or the fact that Joseph is Kyle's son from a forr life?"
"Both," Kay said.
"Like I told Joseph. Age is just a number," Lianne said, "As for the son from another life? Puh-lease. That should never even be an issue. You're not biologically related and Kyle has never raised Joseph so you don't have any connection whatsoever to Joseph. This is just sothing my mother has to overco herself."
"Now, if I was to end up with Kyle - *THAT* would be twisted indeed," Lianne pointed out, "But you and Joseph? Nothing wrong at all. People may talk about the age gap thing, and that your backgrounds are so different and not compatible. Kyle may find it hard to accept but that's his struggle, not yours."
"Kay, if you truly love my brother then please, go to him and grab him," Lianne said, "If you don't think you can handle the hurdles in the future, then you should just stop seeing him."
"You'll not only be facing Kyle, you'll have to face my father," Lianne said.
She was silent for a while then asked, "Do you really want to be with my brother?"
"Yes," Kay replied resolutely.
"Then go forth and bind him to you," Lianne replied, "My brother may be insecure, he may be wishy-washy but once he decides on sothing, he will hang on for dear life. You are the one who has to take that first step and convince him."
"I'm counting on you. Confess and kiss him senseless, okay? Don't chicken out on now, you hear?"
Lianne put down the phone then, and rubbed her forehead.
Damn, giving love advice was truly draining.
Kay, on the other hand, was still in a daze.
The last sentence by Lianne was totally unexpected … and shocking. Because Kay really was thinking that just confessing would be enough. Even that was difficult.
Why the heck does Lianne want her to kiss her brother so much?
Just then, she got a ssage.
It was from Lianne.
