Hiding It

Everything had fallen into place naturally which made the act of telling everyone seem so forced. What were they supposed to do? Call all 50 plus of their friends and announce that they were going to try dating. Not only would that be unnecessarily time consuming but they were modest people who didn't want to brag about their good fortune. Yes, perhaps they should have told their parents and siblings but that, too, seemed supercilious. In the end, simply being together was enough and all the details were left for another time.

"So tired." A young man said as he laid his head in the lap of a petite girl. She ran her hands through his hair softly and he immediately closed his eyes with a sigh. She continued intertwining her fingers with his shining golden locks and staring at his relaxed face happily.

"Perhaps getting three hours of sleep isn't good for you." She joked in a smooth voice.

"Mmm...as long as you do this it's worth it." He muttered back faintly and she could tell he was being lulled into sleep. She watched his chest raise and lower and felt herself become tranquil.

"Are you confirming that playing with your hair is positive reinforcement for your bad habits?" She asked as her fingers stopped moving.

"No." He groaned sadly; he reached up to her hand and encouraged it to keep moving. "I confirm nothing."

"Sure." She said with a smile and leaned down to kiss the top of his hand and then his forehead. Her long chocolate tresses tickled his face and he wiggled his nose slightly. For the next few minutes she returned to peacefully stoking his hair; then, the loud ringing of a phone caused both to jump. The girl began rummaging through her stuff roughly while the blond boy sat up and rubbed his eyes slowly.

"This is Kari." She said after finding her phone. The speaker on the other end dominated the conversation so that Kari only responded with an infrequent "ah huh" or "yes, Tai." Finally, she hung up the phone and turned to the boy and looked into his deep cerulean eyes. "He's worried about me."

"Of course he is." The boy said with half sarcasm and half understanding. "Do you need to go home?"

"Yeah." Kari responded and leaned her head against his chest. "But I don't want to leave you, Tk."

Tk put his arms around her, "We'll see each other tomorrow, I promise."

"Are we doing something special for our one month anniversary?" Kari speculated. She felt Tk tense slightly and looked up at his awkward face. "You forgot?" She said while contriving a look of anger, "I guess we'll have to return to being friends and drop this whole dating thing."

Tk relaxed and then smiled, "No one would be any the wiser. But seriously, do you want to do something special for tomorrow?"

Kari leaned back into his chest, "No, everyday feels special already."

It was now Tk's turn to kiss the top of her head, "C'mon, I'll walk you home." Kari smiled and stood up from the patch of grass they'd plotted themselves on after school. After Tk had also stood up they linked arms and began walking away from the quiet park.

"Kari," Tai said sternly as soon as she opened the door, "we need to talk."

"What's this about, Tai?" Kari was confused at his serious expression and almost wanted to laugh, "Where's mom and dad?"

"They went out, but that's not important." Tai said as he grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the couch. He plopped her down and then turned the recliner so he faced her directly.

"Tai, you're being super weird today." Kari said as she leaned back into the couch and prepared herself for whatever nonsense he was about to bestow on her. "What is so important?"

"I heard a rumor."

"Oooooo a rumor, how scary." Kari joked but Tai was not amused.

"Not just any rumor. It was a rumor about you and a boy." Kari tensed a little but Tai continued unaware. "There was talk at my school, my university" he added extra emphasis, "that a girl named Kari was dating a junior in college."

"What?" Kari said in disbelief. "I've only ever been to your school twice, why would they be talking about me?"

"So, you don't deny it!" Tai shouted in frustration. "You, my little sister whose still in high school, are dating someone 4 years your senior."

Kari tried to stop him as he ranted, "Tai-"

"No, Kari. I don't want to know your reasons. I'm just so angry. You're so young. You shouldn't be dating someone that old - heck, you shouldn't be dating anyone at all. You need to maintain your virtue. Oh my God, did he touch you?"

"Tai -"

"Tell me his name, I'll go kick his ass. I'm sure mom and dad will consent to sending you to grandma's for the next semester so he doesn't try to follow you."

"Tai, STOP IT!" Kari finally exploded and the shock ripped Tai to silence. She continue calmly, "I'm not the only Kari in the world and I am definitely not dating anyone from your school."

"You're not?" Tai asked dumbly.

"Of course not you idiot."

"Oh." Tai was silenced again. Kari waited a few minutes to make sure he was alright then stood and began walking to her room.

"Kari," Tai called and Kari stopped from across the room to look at him, "just so you know, if any boy lays a single finger on you, my precious little sister, I'll kick his ass." Kari had nothing more to say to him and instead continued to her room fighting the urge to slam her door.

"Stupid Tai." She seethed as she plunged onto her bed. "It's a good thing I didn't tell him about Tk."

The following day Tai was being especially watchful over Kari. He even convinced their mom that she should stay inside the whole day because she might be developing a cold.

"But I have plans with Tk." Kari whined.

"Sorry sweetie but we should nip this cold in the butt before it gets worse." Her mother said. "Invite him over if it's that important to you."

"Fine." Kari signed and left to call Tk. He was initially surprised and then amused after Kari told him about Tai's outburst. Nonetheless, he immediately agreed to come over.

When he arrived it was only Tai and Kari in the house because their parents had left for a dinner party at her father's work.

"Hey, Tk. Want some beet and chickpea smoothie? According to my mother it's great for curing the common cold." Kari greeted him at the door.

Tk frowned at the foul smelling drink she held in her hand and waved it away, "No thanks."

"Well, me neither." Kari smiled and led him to the kitchen were she poured it down the sink.

"Mom worked hard on that, you know." Tai said as he entered the kitchen. He gave Tk a welcoming pat on the shoulder before grabbing a slice of pizza out of the fridge.

"She wouldn't have had to work hard if you didn't tell her I was sick." Kari sneered.

"What can I say?" Tai shrugged, "You were looking a little pale this morning. Plus, it's better to keep you inside and away from the boys. No offense Tk."

"None taken." Tk said with a weird expression on his face.

"Oh snap!" Tai yelped as his phone began to ring and he saw that it was Sora. "I totally forgot I had a date with Sora tonight. She is going to kill me." He answered the phone with a pained smile on his face. "Hey, baby. No, I didn't forget. An old woman hurt her ankle in front of my apartment and I was helping her get to a doctor. I'm on my way now."

"Smooth." Kari joked as Tai hung up the phone.

"Shut up." He said while ruffling her hair then ran to get some shoes. "I'll be back in a while, be safe and stay away from boys." Tai shouted as he ran towards the door. Both Kari and Tk shouted bye and then erupted into laughs as the door closed.

"He is so dense." Kari giggled relentlessly into Tk's shirt.

"Just a bit." Tk added sarcastically and wrapped his arms around her. They continued to laugh for a few minutes longer and then faded into silence while holding each other. Finally, Kari raised her head and Tk saw a devious twinkle in her eye.

"It's kinda exciting going behind Tai's back." She said softly.

"I guess, but I'm not looking forward to the beating I'll get when he figures it out." Tk said with a shiver.

"He wouldn't hurt you, Tk. He likes you too much." Kari tried to reassure him.

"But he loves you ten times more." Tk rebutted.

Kari knew that he was right. "Ok, so we don't tell Tai about us for a very, very long time. In the mean time we can have a little fun from the adrenaline rush."

"Huh?" Tk questioned and Kari grabbed his hand and lead him over towards the living room couch. "Think about it," she said as they both sat, "what if Tai forgot his wallet? What if he comes rushing back in here and sees us holding hands? Aren't you getting excited?"

"Umm."

"Tk what if we're doing something a little more intimate? What will his reaction be?"

"Kari, I already said I didn't want to get beat by Tai." Tk said unsure of why Kari was going in circles.

"But where's the fun without a little bit of risk and adrenaline?" Kari said slyly and then placed her lips on his in a passion filled kiss. She maneuvered so that she straddled his lap and pulled upward to remove his shirt.

"Kari?" Tk said as his innocent mind was completely astounded by what she was doing.

"C'mon Tk, when Tai says I can't have a boyfriend it makes it exciting that I already do. He is 100% unaware of our relationship, it's so exhilarating." Tk's wide eyes still looked confused so Kari slowly rocked back and forth on his lap. "Don't you get it, perk up."

Tk's eyes widened even more and his body automatically responded and did, as Kari put it, perk up. "Kari," he said with a strained voice, "what are we doing?"

"Celebrating our one month anniversary." Kari whispered into his ear as she continued rocking. From his ear her lips traveled to his neck where she softly began kissing his statuesque skin. Tk must have accepted her forwardness because it didn't take long before his hands were at her sides. They slid along her soft curves and under her lace bra into territory never ventured. He massaged with such such skill that Kari's kisses had stilled as she moaned against his neck.

"Kari, I'm taking it off. If you want me to stop say so." Tk's voice was so soft and caring that Kari could only melt into his kindness. She let him pull off her shirt and bra and straightened at the first touch of his lips against her naked breast.
