Secret Affair
Chapter 3: A Serious Talk
*********
Syl was brought out of her thoughts as a car honked and would have almost run her down if it hadn't been for Krit pulling her out of the way. "Hey, are you still in there?" Krit joked as he and Syl walked across the street towards the park.
"Yea, I'm still here." She said softly. "I was just thinking."
"Bout what?"
Syl smirked playfully. "The day you knocked me out."
"I'm sorry." He said smiling. "But what was I supposed to do? You where going to leave and I'd never see you again."
She ignored him. "You would think that after 8 months that you'd be forgiving." Syl ran over to the monkey bars and kept climbing until she reached the top. Looking down at Krit she spoke, "But you still aren't."
"You're going to hold this over my head for the rest of my life, aren't you?" Krit asked her, humor in his voice giving away his attempt at seriousness.
Syl ignored his comment and sat down on one of the highest bars before taking off her boots and socks and throwing them down to Krit. Standing up, Syl walked barefoot along the monkey bars, stunting like a gymnast would on the balance beam. Syl looked down at Krit and saw him watching her, a smile on his face. Walking to the edge of the monkey bars, Syl jumped and landed on both feet soundlessly on the grass. Walking over to Krit, who was sitting on a patch of grass, she put her socks and boots back on before speaking. "So, how did you like my display of athleticism and flexibility?"
Krit smiled a bit. "Cute, you were like a cat up there."
"Thanks. I've been told that I have cat DNA in me, so I think that might have done the trick." She said in mock seriousness. The two X5 looked at each other and chuckled. "Hey, Krit?"
"Yeah?"
"Push me on the swings?"
"Yeah, come on." Krit said.
Standing up, the two walked over to the empty swings and Syl sat on one at the far edge. Krit slowly pushed Syl on the swing from behind, her head leaning against the chain that held her up. A few minutes of silence passed before Syl looked up at Krit as he stared off into the distance, seemingly lost in thought, thinking deeply about something or another.
"Krit? What are you thinking 'bout?"
"Huh?" He asked, Syl's voice removing him from his thoughts. "Oh, nothing. Don't worry about it."
"Oh-no." Syl turned in the swing so that she was facing Krit. "Whenever you say 'don't worry about it' it's always something to worry about! Now come on Krit, tell me what's on my baby's mind?"
Krit smiled when she called him 'my baby' but frowned again when he knew what he was about to tell her. "What's gonna happen to us when Zack finds out about the two of us? Finds out that we never listened to him, and that we, as he always says-"
"Compromised everybody's safety." Syl joined in as they spoke in unison.
Syl sighed loudly. "Yeah, I know but I don't care less anymore about what Zack says." Syl looked around the park and saw an empty bench nearby. Standing up, she took hold of Krit's wrist and pulled him gently towards the bench. "Come on."
When they reached the bench, Krit sat down and pulled Syl comfortably onto his warm lap. After leaning her head against Krit's chest, she finally spoke,
"Okay, let me tell you a story about our big annoying brother Zack. " She exhaled loudly before continuing. "Before I came to Phoenix I was living in Denver for about two years." Syl paused to think back about her life in Denver. "I had a good life back there. Plenty of friends, a decent non- degrading job, and a guy that was in love with me, even though I wouldn't give him the time of day. However, Zack being the-over-protective-gets-on- my-nerves-too-many-times-annoying-bigot-of-a-brother that he is, ruined everything I had!"
"How'd he do that?" Krit asked, confused.
"Well firstly, he got a job where I was working and decided to make my life a living hell by trying to hit on me. Then when that didn't work, he finally told me who he was and told me I had to move to keep the others save. But whatever, I didn't listen to him, so Zack being Zack, broke off all ties with all of my friends by making them hate me." Syl looked sad for a moment before continuing. "Then I had no other choice but to move. I still don't forgive him for that. He moved me here and told me that I was to move after living here for strictly 4 months. Did I listen? Obviously not because then I wouldn't be sitting here with you today talking about how annoying our big brother is."
Syl fingered the edge of Krit's t-shirt before looking up at him when he spoke to her. "Zack does have that annoying quality. Especially when he says that we're compromising everyone's safety but when you think about it, you're not really compromising everyone's safety cos you don't know where everyone is." Syl looked down at the fingers playing his shirt.
Krit sighed. "However that still doesn't answer the question about what we're going to tell Zack when he finds out about us."
"How do you know he's even going to find out?"
"Trust me. Zack will find out sooner or later. I'm just hoping that's its later."
"Yeah, me too." Syl looked down at the watch she was wearing before breaking into a grin. "You know, we still have a few more hours before we have to head out to work. What do you suppose we do till then?" Krit met her grin with a sly one. "I don't know. Why don't we head back home to see if we can't find something productive to do?"
Getting up from where they were, Syl and Krit headed home after making their way through the small clusters of kids in the park.
