Well, here's chpt. 4, which is a lot longer than the others.
And more dramatic. :)
don't you love drama?
Kairi's Point of View:
I gazed at Namine. " No. No problems." I lied, sitting on my bed. She crawled over to my bed and sat in front of me. " Tell me what's wrong." she commanded. I shook my head. She climbed on my lap, her face a half an inch away from mine. " Now." she said. I took a deep breath. " I think I'm in love with you, but you like Riku and I can't hurt Olette." I said.
Namine's perfect blue eyes widened. Then her mouth was on mine, her hands in my hair, her legs around my waist, and I was against the headboard. I wrapped my arms around her neck. Our kiss became more passionate. Namine groaned and slid away from me. I couldn't believe it! What the hell was she doing?
" I can't Kairi. Not until I break up with Riku. And if we want this, you have to hurt Olette." she said. I bit my lip. I didn't want to hurt Olette. " Why can't this just be easy? Why couldn't I have met you first? I won't hurt Olette...I can't. So I guess there's no us, Namine." I choked out.
Namine sighed and sat back on her bed. " I do wish you'd met me first. But fate doesn't like us that way, does it doll?" I shook my head and rolled into my blankets.
In the morning, I decided that I wasn't leaving Olette. Getting that close to my room-mate wouldn't be good at all. I'll have to be more careful to make the lines clear when I'm with Namine. Or just not spend any time with her.
I kissed Olette when I saw her. She was very careful, very cautious most of the time. But today her kiss was urgent. She wanted me to be passionate. So I did. " What brought this on, Olette?" I asked. " I just love you. And I'd be ready to do anything with you." she whispered. I picked her up and sat her on the bench, then kissed her again. " I love you too, Olette."
Somehow, the words were easy to say, but they still didn't feel right.
Oh well though. I can only have certain things. I can only cross certain lines. I love Olette. Or at least I'll grow to.
Namine's Point of View:
I could tell Kairi wanted to pretend last night hadn't happened. But I remembered one thing she'd said, " Why couldn't I have met you first?" That proved she wanted me.
When I saw Riku, I decided I no longer cared what lines I crossed. I wanted to go all out. Do whatever felt good and pay the consequences later.
But Riku refused. He said we had plenty of time for that.
So I dumped him. It's okay, he wasn't hurt by it. He understands how I view serious relationships: No fucking way. And I realized once and for all I am a full out lesbian. Not even bi.
So I made my way back to the school. I did my late homework dutifully. I waited for Kairi to come back.
And waited. And waited.
She walked in three hours later. " So, I signed up to leave for fall break." she said. I gasped. Fall break started in two days, and it lasted two weeks. No fucking way, no, no NO!!!! I thought angrily.
Kairi began packing the next day. She threw all her stuff in the suitcase and picked up loose odds and ends. " I'm so excited, I've so missed the beach. And my mom will be ecstatic. She probably is lost without me." she said. She'd been talking for hours, but I didn't mind. I liked to hear her voice. " I'm sure you'll have fun, doll. And it must be nice to get out of here." I said motioning around. She looked at me. " Why don't you leave too?" she asked. " Because I don't have anywhere to go." I said simply.
It was true. My parents had sent me here because they didn't want a lesbian daughter at their house, in their town. " My parents live in Radiant Garden. They were ashamed of my orientation. They sent me here to get away from them and their perfect, straight town. " I said. Kairi's jaw dropped. " Wow. I don't know what I would do if my mom was like that. I mean, she was a bit shocked, but she still accepted me and loves me." I sighed. " Yeah. So I always spend breaks here, and summer at someone's house. " Kairi bit her lip. Then her face brightened.
" Come to my house with me!"
Kairi's Point of View:
Ok, I was supposed to not cross anymore lines, or get too close to Namine.
But I just had to invite her to my house. And my mom would love having her around.
Namine's eyes were to the floor, and she asked, " Would your mom mind?" she asked. " I doubt it." I said. Then I called her.
My mom simply loved the idea of me bringing a friend home. " Great,hon! Are you two together?" I sighed. " Kinda, I mean, I don't really know..." My mom laughed. " Ok then, hon. See you tomorrow." " Bye."
That night, when I met Olette in the garden, she turned to me and I noticed she looked sad. " What's wrong?" I asked. " Kairi, I think we should take a break while we're both at home for these two weeks." I was shocked. " I thought you loved me, Olette! What brought this on??!" I yelled. Olette sighed. " There's this girl at home...she lives next door to me, and I kinda like her. I just want to see if we can get together over break. Maybe, I don't know...We could -" " No, Olette. I won't just be your babe when you get back. So we stay together, or you can go to your hometown girl." Olette sighed again. " Then I guess we're done." she said. " Fine. I guess we are." I snapped, heading back up to the room.
That was a worthless three week relationship. I thought bitterly.
I stormed into the room, and Namine was busy packing. " Hey doll." she said. I nodded in her direction. " What's up, doll?" she asked. " Olette is a bitch and that was a fucking worthless relationship." I mumbled viciously. Namine's jaw dropped while I told her the story. " Oh, doll, I'm sorry." she whispered. But I laughed. " I'm not." I said. " Why not, doll?"
I smiled and stood up, facing Namine. " Because now we can do this." I muttered, before grabbing her and kissing her. Namine's arms came around my neck, and we resumed our position from a few nights ago.
But unfortunately, we were interrupted by a knock at the door. I got up to answer it. Larxene stood there. " Just wanted to say bye to you guys. I'm leaving now. See you tow in two weeks." she said, leaving. I slammed the door and locked it, then joined Namine back on the bed.
Namine's Point of View:
I woke up before Kairi did the next morning. We were both in Kairi's bed. { No, they didn't do anything bad...lol }
I got up carefully, without waking her, and took my shower. Then I shook her awake. " Morning, doll. Time to take a shower." She opened her eyes groggily and nodded slightly, but then pulled me back onto the bed. " I don't want a shower." she said. I laughed. " Shower is neccessary, doll. You're hair is a fucking disaster." She touched her hair gingerly, then yanked at one of the tangles. " Yeah, shower." she muttered, getting up.
Twenty minutes later, I did her hair while she did her make-up.
We left the Academy at noon, and Kairi lead me by the hand to the airport. We got a one-thirty flight.
On the plane, we held hands and just talked. Kairi explained the beach, and the trees, and the small town. She also described some of the girls and guys, before adding, " I prefer you over all of them though." I smiled victoriously. " Yes!" I said, pumping my fist in the air. Kairi laughed at me, before kissing me. Some of the guys on the plane said, " Whoooaaa..." and I smirked. It was all teenagers on this plane, all headed home from school for break. I giggled and stuck my tongue out at them. The guys laughed. Kairi smirked and lenaed back into the seat, holding my hand tightly.
When we got to Destiny Islands, I realized Kairi had not been kidding when she described the beauty of it. The water was dazzlingly beautiful, the trees were so tall I was surprised the tops didn't disappear in the clouds, and you could see so much of the sky!
Kairi's mom was waiting for us. " You must be Namine." she said warmly, hugging me. I saw a lot of Kairi in her mom. Her mom looked just like an older version of her. " Yes, I am. Thanks for letting me come here." I said shyly. Kairi's mom laughed. " You're so pretty! I love your hair!" she said. " Mom, c'mon, let's go." Kairi said. " Of course, dear." Kairi's mom said, leading the way to a small car. She helped us load our stuff in the back, and we climbed in and drove to Kairi's house.
On the way there, Kairi filled her mom in on all the things going on in Twilight Town, very carefully leaving out our wild party. I also let her know some stuff about me. When Kairi's mom found out I basically wasn't wanted, she said, " Darling, just come home with Kairi every break, including summer. I'll always make sure that there is room for you."
Wow. I've never felt so wanted and loved. It felt really good. I sighed happily and leaned against Kairi's shoulder. She grinned at me, and laid her head on mine.
Kairi's Point of View:
I showed Namine my room, well, for now, our room, and showed her where everything was before we unpacked.
After we unpacked, my mom made us lunch and we headed down to the docks. " See that smaller island out there?" I asked her, pointing. She nodded. " That's where we're going. Less people, and it's my favorite place to go." I said. She grinned and took my hand. " Lead the way, doll." I said.
