CHAPTER 12
Kyleigh
âNo Karrol, Iâm telling you, heâs been a perfect gentleman,â I said softly, not wanting Shaun or Morgan to hear as I sat on my bed video chatting. It was really late at night and theyâd already been so kind to let me stay with them. âWe just spent the evening lying in each otherâs arms. It wasâ¦nice.â
âAre you telling me youâd rather lay there talking instead of having passionate sex? Because if you do, we are a lot more different than I thought,â she said.
âI wasnât opposed to making love, but he didnât initiate it,â I said.
âMaybe he wanted you to initiate - did you ever think about that?â she asked. I made a face at her and she said, âI didnât think so. But this is your chance to do whatever you want to. Once youâre back in Tabiq, youâre going to be expected to be your parentsâ little saint.â
âThat is not how they view me,â I said.
âKyleigh, as long as Iâve known you, youâve done everything theyâve told you to. Even when it came down to what youâd do for work.â
âI love my job at the hospital. Caring for the sick means a lot to me,â I said truthfully.
âThe entire planet needs nurses. Heck, maybe youâll decide that the United States is for you and never come back,â she said.
âThatâs not going to happen. It is beautiful here, and the buildings are huge. But it is not my home,â I reminded her. I didnât even want to get into the fact that Iâd signed a contract that all expenses would be paid, with the understanding that I used my skills working at the hospital in Tabiq. I must go home or pay all this back, and I will never be able to afford to do that.
âWhat happened to you, Kyleigh? We used to talk about leaving Tabiq one day. And dreamed about meeting our handsome prince who would show us the world. You have both at your fingertips and donât seem to want either.â She huffed. âWhat Iâd give to trade places with you right now.â
âYou want Liam?â I asked, a twinge of jealousy running through me.
âNo. Iâm not into redheads, remember? Now maybe if he was blond, Iâd give you some competition. Maybe you can bring one home for me,â she sighed. âAfter all, it is tradition to bring a souvenir when you return from traveling, and I am your very best friend.â
âI donât think a man would be considered a souvenir. Maybe I can bring you a postcard instead,â I smiled.
âWill it have a sexy, muscular blond guy on the front?â she joked.
âIâll do my best. But I really should get to sleep. I have a big day tomorrow. I have to meet some guy from Ireland to discuss our culture.â
âThat sounds easy enough.â
âNo, it isnât. There are so many things we are not allowed to talk about. Iâm not even sure what Iâm going to say at this point,â I sighed. âWhat if
