Kyra opened her eyes and glanced at the clock beside her bed. It read 8 pm. She considered taking a bath when she felt someone's arm around her waist and heard faint snoring. Turning her head, she saw Alex sleeping beside her, his expression serene in slumber. Confusion washed over her momentarily before she decided to focus on the peaceful sight of Alex. She turned to face him, her fingers gently tracing the contours of his face.
Alex stirred slightly, murmuring in his sleep, "Babe, I'm so tired. Let me sleep and hug you for a bit more," before settling back into sleep, his arms pulling her closer.
Just then, a sharp knock on Kyra's door shattered the tranquility of the moment. Kyra's heart skipped a beat as she quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb Alex. Padding softly to the door, she opened it to find her best friend Julie standing on the other side, her eyes widening in shock at the sight of Alex.
"Kyra, what... who is that?" Julie's voice was barely a whisper, her gaze flitting between Kyra and Alex with disbelief.
Kyra felt a flush of embarrassment heat her cheeks as she struggled to find the right words. "Julie, this is Alex," she explained hesitantly, gesturing towards the sleeping figure behind her.
Julie's eyes widened further in realization. "Alex? THE Alex?" she whispered, her voice tinged with astonishment.
Kyra nodded sheepishly, her cheeks flushing even more. "Yeah, he... he just fell asleep here," she admitted, feeling a mix of awkwardness and vulnerability.
Julie's expression softened as she stepped closer to Kyra, wrapping her in a comforting embrace. "Kyra, are you okay?" she asked, her concern evident in her voice.
Kyra sighed, leaning into Julie's embrace. "I don't know, Julie. Everything's just so... complicated right now," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.
As Julie held her friend close, Kyra couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her. Despite the confusion and uncertainty swirling around her, having Julie by her side reminded her that she wasn't alone in facing whatever lay ahead.
Kyra took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before recounting the events of the day to Julie.
"So, you won't believe what happened earlier," Kyra began, her voice tinged with incredulity.
Kyra's expression softened as she glanced down at her hand, where the glimmer of two rings caught the light.
"And then here this is," she said, her voice tinged with a mixture of emotions. "I... I proposed to Alex."
Julie's eyes widened in surprise, her curiosity piqued. "You proposed to him?" she exclaimed, her disbelief evident.
Kyra nodded, her gaze distant as she recalled the moment. "Yes, I did," she confirmed, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "It was... unexpected, but it felt right."
Julie leaned in, her interest palpable. "Tell me everything," she urged, her curiosity getting the better of her.
Taking a deep breath, Kyra recounted the events of the day once more, her voice steady yet tinged with emotion. She described the tender moment when she had poured out her feelings to Alex, her words a heartfelt confession of love and longing.
"I wanted him to know how much he means to me, Julie," Kyra admitted, her voice soft with emotion. "Despite everything that's happened between us, I still... love him. And I wanted him to know that."
Julie listened intently, her heart going out to her friend as she absorbed the weight of Kyra's words. "Wow, that's... brave of you," she remarked, her tone filled with admiration.
