A knock sounding on my door wakes me up. I'm pressed against something warm
and hard. I open my eyes to see that I'm curled up in Kai's arms. He however is
still soundly asleep. His soft snores puffing out in the almost silent room.
Another knock sounds and so I softly detangle myself from around Kai and move to
the door. I open it to find my mother standing with her hands clasped together.
"Mom?" I try to rub the sleep from my eyes.
"Have you seen Kai? I can't find him anywhere." My mothers face scrunches up
in worry. I blush slightly and push the door open to let her view Kai. He is
fully clothed and sleeping on top of my duvet. My mothers eyes widen as she
tries to smother a smile. She beckons for me to follow her out the door. I close
the door quietly behind us.
"So everything is ok?" My mother pries. I fold my arms over my chest and look
up at the ceiling, my face hot.
"Everything is fine Mom." I hesitate before continuing, "So far at least." My
mother frowns slightly. I sigh and gather my small mother in for a hug.
"Everything is fine I promise. Thanks for the amazing party." I hug her to me
tightly and her delicate looking arms hold me tight to her. After a moment she
releases me and I lean down slightly for her to kiss my cheek.
"I love you dearling." She pats my cheek and strolls away. I go back into my
room. I'm surprised to find Kai sitting up in my bed, rubbing his eyes.
"Good morning." Kai's short hair is sticking up every which way and it brings
a smile to my face.
I stand awkwardly by the door and look down at my feet, "Good morning." I
mumble. Kai chuckles softly and I look up to see him gazing at me with loving
eyes. He opens his arms and I move to let them wrap around me. Kai kisses the
top of my head as I snuggle into his embrace.
"I had a dream that last night never happened." He pauses to run his hand
through my hair, "That you hated me and never wanted to see me again." His voice
cracks at the end and he goes silent. I wrap my arms tight around his waist and
burrow closer to him.
"That would never happen." I tighten my hold on him, "And I never hated you
Kai. Never."
"I love you Yumi." My breath catches in my throat. I don't think I will ever
get tired of hearing him say those words to me. I lean back to place a kiss
against his chest where his heart is.
"So where do we go from here?" The question I've been thinking about all
night finally pops out of my mouth. Kai rubs soothing circles on my back as I
wait for him to answer.
"I don't know. Honestly I never imagined we would be here right now." I
smile. Kai places his cheek on top of my head and closes his eyes.
"As long as I am with you I don't care what we do." I lean back to gaze into
his wine colored eyes. "I never want to be parted from you again." Kai's eyes
soften and he leans down to capture my lips with his own. I part eagerly under
him and our tongues move together in sync. Kai's hands clutch me to him, and I
tangle my hands in his hair. We finally part for air and Kai trails
open-mouthed kisses down my throat.
"I want to show you the world Yumi. Show you everywhere I've been." He brings
his mouth back up to mine and kisses me once more. "I want to share everything
with you." Kai brushes gentle kisses along my jaw back down to my throat. I feel
his teeth graze my skin and I shudder in pleasure. Kai sighs against my heated
skin and pulls away. He kisses me once more and moves away to cradle my face in
his hands. Kai chuckles when he see's my pout.
"I just got you back. I don't want to rush you into anything." He pecks me
softly on the lips once more before moving from the bed.
"Kai..what you said a moment ago? That you want to show me the world?" Kai
looks over at me and nods once, his expression confused. I swallow and nod my
head vigorously.
"Lets do it." Kai still looks confused and so I elaborate, "Lets travel the
world together." Kai's eyes widen and he stares at me silently.
"I want to experience all that life has to offer with you Kai. By my side." I
move from the bed and embrace him.
"I want to share this life of mine with the man I love." Kai takes an audible
breath and wraps his arms around me. He clutches me tightly to his chest. I lean
up to place small kisses against his throat and he shudders softly in my arms.
"Well then we better have a talk with Mom and Dad." Kai moves towards the
door and I catch my reflection in my mirror. I have the biggest goofiest grin on
my face that I have ever seen. Kai takes my hand and together we walk out of my
bedroom.
