Chapter 2: Familiar taste of Kai

She had run away so fast she headed to the first building she could reach. Davina had run into a library, it was empty and filled by phone-book sized literature and spell books. The pink sky was visible through the stained glass, a giant B for Bennett was embroidered and framed to each window.

Davina couldn't help but cry to herself in the silence. The last couple months were a lie. She felt alone, she couldn't remember anything but fake memories.

A voice emerges, almost scaring her into oblivion. "Your hair is different."

She looks up from her tears to see Kai there, his hand in his pocket. Guilt was stamped across his face.

Davina straightens herself out for the beautiful boy in front of her. "I'm sorry, I didn't think anyone else was here."

"You don't have to apologize to me." His low, deep voice enticed her. He starts to walk closer to her and raise his hands to wipe the tears from her face. She noticed him oddly fascinated with her hair.

"It's a wig…thank God." Kai blurts out.

Davina starts to remove her hat and her synthetic wig. Kai watches her as if she's about the strip for him. As soon as he lays his eyes on her brunette locks he lets out a groaned, "Fuck."

His reaction had her yearning to know who he was, "Were you my friend?"

She could see him tremble, her every word seemed to break him.

Davina knew he was more than a friend, but she didn't want to flatter herself.

Kai backs away from the young witch. "I was more than that, c'mon Davina even you must feel it."

She could see his eyes pleading, hoping, she would remember.

"I'm sorry, I can't remember."

"And it's all my fault you can't."

She felt bad for the boy. All while being excited that she had something deep enough with him to send him in obvious agony. She gives him a big hug, hoping it would end his pain. She could feel Kai was caught off guard but then she hears a sigh of relief. She could feel his finger dig into her lace dress, holding her tight enough to crush her. He was holding on to a new person, who had no recollection of whatever memories they shared.

Davina could hear him start to sob, "I'm so sorry Davina."

"No don't be." His tears landing on her head. A soon as she pulls away to make sure he's okay their lips meet. Davina pulls away from the familiar taste. Kai goes flying across the room.

"No!" She feels violated and the two are pushed on the opposite ends of the library.

I don't remember, I'm not just going to kiss a stranger because it feels right.

Ignoring her comfortability, Kai's eyes widen his eyebrow arches, "You're magic, you pushed me away!"

Davina soon realizes that she was responsible for flinging Kai across the room.

He tugs on his collar to fix himself and with a snap of his fingers, he's right next to Davina again.

"I'm sorry, I'll go."

"No, wait…" Davina hesitates. Her arms reach out for his.

"You can't just kiss me you know. It's not fair."

Kai turns his head back, pure frustration radiates from the warlock."I know that was very selfish, but I really needed it. I haven't seen you in 3 months." He grabs Davina by her waist. His gray eyes now gazing into hers. "Davina, I won't do that again unless you ask me."

The young witch starts to blush. He's serious? He just grabbed me again after I magically threw him across the room.

"By the way, I let you throw me across the room." A smug appears but then he goes back to being half serious and half gloomy again. "The worst part is, the entire time I was missing you. You didn't even have the right memories to miss me."

He started to remember when everything was perfect, before the big battle was forced onto his and her laps…

5 months ago

"Stop Kai! You ass!"

Davina, soaked with water, jumps into the bath tub. With a snap of her fingers, the tub is filled with bubbles and the fresh scent of strawberries.

"Are you mad?" Kai teases from the other room.

"Yes! You can't just magically spray water at me because I said it was too hot, idiot!"

It was summer break at Bennett's Boarding school.

Kai can see Davina already in the tub.

"You wanna join?" Her perfect lips entice him.

His quirkiness quickly fades into a serious tone as het gets up from the couch, "Course."

Kai quickly jumps into the bath tub with her. Kai assumed her eagerness to have him there meant she was wearing a swimsuit underneath all the bubbles. He was very much wrong.

His hand feels for her and pulls the young naked witch towards him. Kai starts to blush.

Wrapped in his big arms Davina can feel his energy. She feels his nervousness and he's aware she can because he can feel how calm she is. She starts to remove his black t-shirt he stupidly wore into the bubbly tub. He replies by removing his soaked basketball shorts.

"Who bathes with clothes on." Her giggle sends him to another universe.

"Davina?" Kai gulps before he continues, "I love you."

With a smile on her face, she says, "I love you too."

"I guess the other worst part is remembering something you don't have anymore. Maybe you're the lucky one with your memories wiped."

Kai can see Davina's eyes start to wander around the room, anywhere but his face.

He can feel her energy, nervous. Oh how the tables have turned. If you only knew.

He makes his way to the door. Right before he leaves she runs up to him, barely touching his back.

"Kai!"

He turns to see slight desperation in her eyes.

"It doesn't mean we can't make new memories."

A smile appears on the warlock's face.

Hope.
