The motto for my life right now seemed to be 'oh, what's the point of everything?' in a sad, dramatic voice.
Accompanying that motto was a pint of frozen custard and a Psych marathon.
Now I finally understand why all those girls would say that boys are stupid in high school.
I dug my silvery spoon into the half eaten pint and glared at the TV.
If only I could just marry Shawn and be done with love.
I had been sitting here for about three hours or so, lamenting my regrettable life choices.
What in god's name made him think that I was just a booty call?
If Sora knew me as well as I knew him, he would know that the last thing I would be was a hollaback girl. (Reference alert!)
Maybe he's just a dumbass.
That idea pleased me greatly, and I gifted my attention where it belonged, the reason for my existence, Psych.
Ring ring ring!
Who the hell would DARE interrupt Shawn-time?
The caller ID read Namine Caelum.
Wonder what she wants.
I lazily groped for the phone, knocking over several items in the process. Luckily, I managed to answer the phone without shattering anything too valuable.
"Hello?" I said groggily.
Kairi? God, you sound awful.
"Thanks." I said flatly, tempted to hang up on her right then and there.
Hey, I'm sorry; I really need to talk to you.
"Uh, ok." I said, standing up and brushing myself off. I probably looked like an absolute nightmare.
Is right now ok?
"Uhm, y-yeh! Right now's great!" I said, rushing upstairs and brushing my hair. I really did look like a nightmare.
Ok, see you at your place in 5?
Of course it had to be my place.
"See you then!"
I rushed to clean up my place. I was pretty much a blur for the next five minutes, cleaning up laundry and wiping off tables.
Ding dong!
What? Already?
I rushed to the door, whilst almost tripping over my cat, Virginia.
"Outta my way, cat!" I yelled.
Virginia scuttled off to the kitchen and I opened the door. A serious look was plastered on Namine's face.
She walked through my door with such grace I felt the need to bow in her presence. That was odd, considering we had been friends for so long.
I followed her to my kitchen and we sat down at the table. I unkindly plopped Virginia onto the floor from her former resting place, which had been inconveniently placed on top of the table.
"Kairi, I think we both know why I'm here." She said in all seriousness.
"Um, we do?" I asked. Was she mad at me, or something?
"Sora." She said bluntly.
Fuck.
"Uh, what about…Sora?" I asked, trying not to sound too guilty.
"Listen Kairi, I know you love him."
What?
I said something super intelligent, like huhuhued?
"And I know that he loves you too." She finished sadly.
What.
Is.
This.
Bitch.
Talking.
About?
"What?" I said way bitchier than I had intended.
"Don't deny it. You've loved him since Uni, and he has too." She said.
I knew that I had loved him since then, but I couldn't say the same for him.
"I think you're mistaken. Sora doesn't love me, he loves you." I said, placing my hand on her shoulder.
"God you are so blind." She said.
"Uh, what?"
What was continuing to be a pattern today. Maybe it's the word of the day…
"Sora loves you and he always has. End of story." She concluded with a wave of her hand.
"Alright then, why did he come ask me for advice on your relationship today?" I asked.
"Kairi, we broke up last week." She said with a blank face.
Whaaaaaaat?
I was about to say something else intelligent, but she cut me off.
"I broke up with Sora because I realized that he was in love with you." She said.
"And I might have a teensy-tinsy crush on Roxas. But no matter." She waved her hands in the air animatedly.
"But…why would he date you if he loves me?" I asked, totally confused.
"I don't know. Maybe to make you jealous, or something." She said. She seemed pretty nonchalant about the whole ordeal. It bothered me.
"Are you…sad?" I asked.
"Well, yeah, I mean I loved Sora, but in a friendly sort of way." She added, "Besides, I've been shipping you guys from the start."
Hey, if you were really shipping us, you wouldn't have FUCKING DATED HIM would you have?
"Oh, uh thanks…I guess." I said lamely.
"I just think that you guys should…talk. You know, sort things through…" She said.
"Well…thanks for, coming over…to…tell me, all that great stuff." I said awkwardly. She stood up and walked outside, but before she left, she said something.
"Just…say something to him, will ya?
Phones.
Causing me nothing but trouble from the very start.
To call…or not to call?
Namine's voice in my head was telling me to call, but my own voice was telling me to screw it and eat more ice cream.
Frankly, I preferred the latter.
But I still considered Namine's words to possibly have some truth in them.
Maybe I should just…talk to him.
I picked up the phone like it was a dead animal and typed in Sora's number.
The phone didn't even finish its first ring before it was answered.
"H-hello?" A shaky voice said eagerly.
For a second I was frozen, my mouth hanging open like a broken trap door.
"Kairi, please! Say something!" Sora said in a panicked voice.
"I," I completely blanked.
What was I supposed to say again?
"Uh," I stumbled for words.
"Kairi, are you there?" He asked tiredly.
"…Yes." I admitted ruefully.
"Kai, are you gonna talk to me, or what?" He asked, rather cockily.
"Sora, we need to talk." I spit out. That was easy.
"I'm all ears." He answered impatiently.
"In person." I said sharply.
"Ok, I'm coming over." He said.
"Wait…right now?" I said, standing up and clutching the phone to my ear.
"Yup. I'm already in front of your house."
Wait, what?
Weirdo.
Sora let himself into my house and kicked his shoes off. He brushed past me and sat down at my kitchen table, when Virginia hopped on his lap and he pets her.
He looked like he belonged in my house more than I did.
Bastard.
I gave him my best pissed-off look I could muster and I sat down on the chair opposite to him.
"What's cookin' good lookin'?" He asked.
My face got a lot more pissed off.
"Wow, ok. I take it you are not too happy." He said. Virginia moved to his shoulders and lay across them.
"No. Do you care to explain why you tried to kiss me?" I asked.
Sora let out a puff of air and Virginia snuggled into the crook of his neck.
Traitor.
"I love you Kairi."
Wow.
Score one for Namine.
"Then why did you date Namine?" I asked.
He grabbed his itty bitty spikes in his hands.
"Bee-cause, you didn't notice me! You only thought of me as a friend, and I wanted to show you that I could be a good boyfriend!" He said pleadingly. He had stood up from his chair and got down on one knee in front of me, Virginia still resting atop his shoulders.
"It didn't occur to you that I already liked you? Maybe you should've, I don't know…ASKED ME OUT!?" I said sarcastically.
"Uh, yeah…I guess I never really…thought…at all." He said, scratching the back of his head guiltily.
"You are an idiot." I said, shaking my head.
"Yeah, well…I'm your idiot." He said cheesily.
"The only question is…will you take me?" He asked. Virginia meowed and Sora gave me a pouty face.
Oh god.
I knitted my brows together.
"Mmm, I guess so." I said.
"Yay!" He exclaimed. He buried his face in my legs and Virginia sprawled across his back.
He lifted his head off and Virginia fell off of his back and onto the floor.
He then took the back of my head and pulled me closer to his face until our foreheads were touching.
"I love you Kairi," he said in seriousness.
"I love you, spiky." I said with a smile.
He laughed and closed the space between our lips.
I pulled away and laughed.
"If only you would've said something, we could've been doing this the whole time." I said.
"Aw, what? God dammit!" He said. But that didn't stop him from kissing me again.
"I guess we have to make up for all that lost time then, don't we?" He said with a smirk.
I guess so." I said and we sealed our deal with a kiss.
