Thank y'all for the reviews. Keep reviewing please; they are real inspiration for me.

The next day they woke up with the same routine. The alarm clocks rang. Kai made some comments to which Bonnie did not respond. Bonnie wanted to kill him because he mocked the way her hair looked early the morning. Kai watched his basketball match before going to work. Bonnie choose her clothes in the big closet. Bonnie laughed seeing the underpants of Kai because there were snowballs printed on them. And Kai who wanted to accompany her to work, and she refused again before leaving alone in on a bus. It happened exactly in the same way it had happened yesterday morning. The only difference was that they had had sex, but it did not really feel like a change for Bonnie.

She did all she could to not let herself be touched by Kai's tenderness. She did not want to have feelings. She did not have any feelings to give anyway. She saw sex with him as a duty and not as a sharing of something deeper. Bonnie was protecting herself from letting herself be reached by anyone. Her silence was her armor, and her magic was her weapon. She didn't like to be disarmed.

Kai was not of this opinion. He wanted everything from her. He wanted to share with her and create something together. He was not sentimental, far from it, but something in her attracted him, intrigued him. In addition to being a good kick in bed, without disconcerting, making love to Bonnie felt really good even if everything did not happen as he wanted. He had enjoyed it. He could still feel the tingling in his feet from the sex with the powerful witch. She was special, a little like him. He wanted to break the carapace; he had to know her better. Maybe it was like a challenge or maybe he was starting to be interested to in her, but he wanted to be special in Bonnie's eyes.

Kai was in a team meeting with the rest of the firm's lawyers. Joshua was there, of course, as a leader. The meeting room was large and everyone was seated around a large, rectangular varnished table. The place was on the 32nd floor of the building, and the view from there was the town of Portland and the Columbia River. It was snowing little by little snowflakes outside. Some of the lawyers watched the beautiful show of the snowy city through the bay window while listening to Joshua giving orders and creating teams for some delicate case. Kai didn't even notice the view. He barely even noticed Joshua talking.

Normally, hearing him talk would piss the hell out of Kai, and he'd roll his eyes all the time or eat a hamburger during the meeting just to annoy Joshua. He would have been normally as excited as an electric battery and would talk all the time without worrying about interrupting Joshua. He could do that and get away with it because Joshua needed him for his vampire abilities. Kai was the only Vampire he could ask to do anything. That's why he worked there in the first place. Otherwise Joshua would never bother to have such a nuisance as Kai every day. So, Kai loved to abuse the little power he had over Joshua, even in the tiniest amount. He wanted to annoy him, push him to the end and then make fun of him.

But this time, Kai had no interest in doing that. He was concentrating on something else or someone else. It sounded a bit cheesy, but he kept thinking of Bonnie. All day. It became sickly. Being a vampire, he knew that when a vampire was obsessed with something or someone, the feelings were more amplified than that of a human. To think of someone constantly always turned to an obsession for a vampire. It became an obsession difficult to erase. He was obsessed with her with a force that had no name. Instead of sitting around listening to Joshua's bullshit, he wanted to be close to her.

He wanted to inhale the smell of her skin, to look deep in her eyes, lick the sweat of her skin like he did yesterday, lick her nipples that were perky and small as he liked, rub his penis on her clit and push it into her wet pussy, then pour his sperm into her vagina and fill her pretty little pink pussy with the thick white-

"Malachai, stop with those annoying noises. We are talking about important things that require your attention."

Joshua interrupted Kai's reveries by slamming on the table. After which he stood at the end of the table with his arms crossed and an angry face.

Kai shook his head, then looked from left to right a little disoriented, "Someone know what he's talking about? Because I do not."

"You were moaning. Stop that."

"Moaning?" Kai frowned.

"STOP THAT."

"Okay, do not break your hip or your back or an another bones in your old body. You have to be careful about your age."

Joshua glared at Kai before continuing to talk about the important cases. Kai did not know at all what noises Joshua was accusing him of making. He was sure he hasn't made a noise. Curiosity had got the better of him, so he turned his head to see one of his colleagues sitting next to him. The beautiful brunette seemed focused on Joshua's speech and even took notes. Kai giggled, then murmured, "Cutie?" The woman ignored Kai. "Okay, Ashley?" The brunette finally turned to him, and he looked at her straight in the eyes before speaking, "Answer my questions without reservations." He compelled her. His pupils dilated to break Ashley's psyche. She nodded, already trapped under his vampiric grip. "What my father talked about?"

"You were moaning, eyes closed. You made small noises of pleasure as if someone was sucking your penis. Like if you were about to cum. You were in a trance when Joshua woke you up."

"Geez! She hypnotized me. The bitch... She's obviously driving me crazy. I just want to pour my semen over and over and over and over again inside her hot and wet pussy and fill up her womb with my semen." He sighed, "That's not good for me. That impregnating spell is a very strong one. I'm going crazy, and I kinda like that." He said dreamily, "Thanks Ashley." He turned his chair.

The brunette blinked and frowned. He had forgotten to make her forget the conversation.

"Mister Parker, What did you- "

"Shhh, I'm thinking about my girl."

"Malachai and Ashley, if you don't want to be there then get out." Joshua growled.

"Excuse me, sir." The brunette jumped before returning to her notes.

Kai stared at the bay window before him, watching the snow fall. He had not even noticed that it was snowing. When he left the house this morning, it was cold but it wasn't snowing, and now it was snowing. The little flakes fell and covered the city with a glittering white layer. There was no sun today. There was wind, however. The wind shook the trees and made the scarves and bonnets of passers-by fly. Kai pouted. This meeting was depressing.

How had time changed in this way and he not noticed anything? He had been thinking about sex with Bonnie. His new obsession. Since yesterday, he only thought of that.

Although she was colder than a glacier while they were making love, their bodies melting together made him more hot than a volcano. Kai was still hot. He wanted to keep on fucking her. At least do it a minimum of 3 times, but they had only done it once, how annoying. He would have liked to discover her body, taking his time to try several positions. He was curious by nature, so he wanted to discover the body of this powerful witch, yet she did not want to. That kind casual of sex bothered him a lot. He wanted more. So much more of it. He wanted to have her body, but also her heart as well. What a challenge! If he managed to captivate Bonnie as easily as she managed to captivate him, his man pride would be restored. He could not admit it, but she hurt his feelings, being cold like that. He had no power over her. Yes, Bonnie had no choice in the situation in which she was in, but she could at least be a little nice with him.

"Geez!" Kai murmured. Bonnie was a really strange person. The fact that she was closed and silent made her even more strange, but he could not help but think of her.

He spent the day checking his phone to see if he had received no any messages from Bonnie, but there was nothing. She had not sent him anything. Not even a small message to tell him that it was snowing. Well he didn't want that exactly, but she could text him to tell something... Anything. Propose a few things. It was frustrating to think that Bonnie did not think of him as he thought of her.

He was not attracted to her... Well, that's what he wanted to think. She was not his type. Kai liked blondes, but the that did not stop him from looking at her differently. He could not help but look at her differently. She was beautiful and strong. The fact that she was not blonde was starting to be a minimal factor in his judgment about her. He began paying attention to her.

Kai checked his cell phone again and sighed. Still no messages from her. They had sex, good sex. He did everything to put her at ease for God's sake. Did she not enjoy it? If she did not, he had to restore the situation. A challenge. That was what Bonnie was for him, and he was going to take on this challenge.

A brief overview of the weather and Kai had realized that it was very cold outside. Surely very cold. Too cold for the outfit she had worn to go to work this morning. He bit his lip and patted his phone's touch pad while everyone listened intently to Joshua's instructions. He did not care about Joshua. This man could rot in both of the hells. For the moment, it was only Bonnie who was taking all his thoughts. As he thought, the temperatures had dropped below zero with the snow falling. On top of that, there was an icy wind blowing over the city of Portland. It was not good. He decided to write a message to Bonnie.

- You did not wear a coat this morning. Are you warm? Did you drink a hot drink? Is there at least a heating in the ridiculous library where you work? I can take sue them if there is none. Are you ok? Are you cold? -

"C'mon! Answer! I need you to answer!"

"Malachai?" Joshua groaned, and Kai raised his head off his phone.

"What?"

"Is everything I'm saying right now not important enough to draw your attention to the discussion?"

"Uh... Why? Do you need my intervention?"

"No but-"

"Yeah that is what I thought. So shut up, I- OH, SHE REPLIED!" Kai uttered an almost feminine cry on seeing that he had just received a message from Bonnie.

- I'm good .-

- It is -5 °? .-

"MALAKAI ?!"

"Urgh what? What? WHAT?" Kai was getting upset with Joshua.

Everyone in the meeting room was silent and stared at Joshua to wait for his reaction. The directors, shareholders, lawyers and CEOs were all silent while waiting for the words from the founder of the company and current chairman, Joshua Parker. The elderly man frowned deeply. Some people swallowed their saliva harshly. Joshua looked really angry. When he was, it was not uncommon for him to fire anyone at any time. Joshua's firm was the most famous and most powerful of all Portland. People were paying fortunes to be defended by lawyers at the firm of Parker & Co. The firm was collecting millions of dollars and the lawyers were well paid. Nobody wanted to lose their place in this law firm. So when father and son argued, no one dared open their mouths to interfere. No matter if the reason might be ridiculous. Plus, the people that badmouthed Kai always disappeared bizarrely. That was enough to make them shut their mouths.

"You gave your tongue to the cat?" Kai raised an eyebrow and then leaned his head to the side as a dog would. Everyone knew that Kai was like a madman. No one was more surprised at his mimicry and juicy casual replies. "Uhn? Nothing? So let me- OH, SHE REPLIED."

- Where did you get my phone number, Kai? -

Joshua watched as Kai raved about his phone. His round brown eyes became even rounder. He wondered if by 'she' Kai meant Bonnie. It would be really weird for Bonnie and Kai to send messages to each other. She had never done it for him.

- What importance? You will become like an ice cube if you do not stay in a hot place. This is not good for your health.-

- I said I'm good. Stop texting me .-

"The meeting is adjourned," Joshua said without blinking. All the lawyers began to collect their affairs quickly. Joshua was still standing there like a rock, his fists in balls, staring at Kai. The mature man hated his son for many reasons, and he did not want Kai to be that happy with Bonnie. Kai should suffer for killing Laura, not be that happy. Joshua smirked before taking the papers in front of him. He was going to make Kai suffer soon. Very soon.

- Can I come pick you up? You can not take the bus. It's going to be too cold. Bonnie? Can I come pick you up?-

Kai finally lifted his head and saw that everyone was leaving.

"Oh, the party is already over?" He sneered at Joshua as he left the office. "Bye Josh-Josh, see you at home. Oh, be careful when you will walk on the ice, I do not want you to fall... Actually, don't pay attention and fall. I don't care. " Joshua ignored him and got out from the office with the other lawyer who whispered, complaining about Kai's childish behavior.

-Why do you not answer?-

"Mr. Parker, in my opinion you should care about your co-workers instead of concentrating on your cell phone," One of the lawyers said. His name was Don.

Don was around the same age as Joshua but looked ridiculously more old. He even had a visible baldness that he tried to hide with a moumoute. Because he was a shareholders in the firm, Don ventured to speak to Kai without fear of reprisals. Some reproaches could have annoyed Kai and urge him to empty the old man of his blood until his body looked like an Egyptian mummy, but Don's wig was too funny to look at. Without knowing, Don was still alive just of for Kai's entertainment.

-Bonnie? -

"Mr. Parker, I'm talking to you. At least bother to look at me when I talk to you." Kai looked up and chuckled. "You're distracting me. Not today, Uncle Don."

"You do not deserve your place here. People are working hard here. You're wasting our time."

"Uncle Don, are you mad at me too? Because you're nothing. When you talk, it is like hearing an old man in the dead path. Go sleep, daddy. I have stuff to do."

"Are you ever ashamed of your bad behavior?"

"Nope. It's hard to admit, but I'm a coward. It's my fault honestly. I don't care about you or anyone here. I just don't care. Sorry. Oh, by the way, watch your wig. It looks like a dead squirrel today." One of the trainees giggled, and the two men turned their heads towards her. The woman had beautiful long hair. Kai smirked and gave her a charming smile. The young trainee smiled back before going out. "So where were you? Yes, you take your ugly ass out of my sight."

"How dare you-"

"Okay, Uncle Don, just to let you know... Your opinion makes me roll my eyes and make jokes. I'm being very polite right now. I could tell you to go fuck your dog, your grandma, your dentist or something with a hole and after, clean your stinking sweaty feet before coming to talk to me, but I did not say that. You should be proud of me." Kai smiled at him, and Don gasped in indignation.

- Okay -

Kai got up so fast that Don backed away in fear, "OMG! I'm excited. WE are having a date."

-... And it's not a date.-

Kai burst out laughing. He was not the only one to get to know the other. Bonnie was getting to know him too.

- I'm excited to see you.-

- Bye Kai.-

"Okay!" Kai put his cell phone in his pocket. He narrowed his eyes to Don and then smiled from ear to ear, pointing at him, "You, would you like to grab a beer with me? I need to celebrate." When Don was about to reply, Kai used his Vampire speed to get right in front of him, "Before you say something stupid, you must know you really, really want to grab a beer with me."

"Yes... I do." The man replied like a robot.

Kai was in a hurry to go see Bonnie so he left work early. Normally he would not have left early. He passionately loved his work. He often remained hours after everyone went back at their homes. Kai thought Law cases were as interesting as they were funny. He could stay a lawyer all the eternity. The thing with being an heretic is that he could age. Otherwise he would stay with his teenage look all this life. The balance between magic and vampirism was hard to preserve, and his body reacted differently by being a siphoner. He managed to stop his body from getting old since he had his 27 years old. The perfect age for him. He was ready to remain like that for all eternity. Do the same work for all eternity and God knows that he will pour champagne on Joshua's grave when that madman finally dies.

He always stays late at work. That's why he didn't know or had forgotten that getting off of work in peak hour was not a good idea. The traffic jams were frustrating. With the snow that kept falling and gusts winds, traffic became more difficult. It would take more time than he thought. He thought to write her a message to tell her that he would be late, but she didn't answer. He even called her, but she did not picked up. It was after several calls not answered that she responded to his texts, telling him that he was a real fool to call her as many times and assured him that she was still waiting for him in front of the library.

Kai laughed when he read her text. He had called Bonnie 38 times before she responded. Calling someone 38 times in space minutes was not freaky. Maybe a little, but Kai Parker didn't care. Why didn't she answer to his calls anyway? Kai didn't know convenience. Kai knew crazy. Maybe if he drank her blood, this lust would fade away. Yes, there was notable solution here: drinking her blood.

The question was how? Bonnie wouldn't accept to let him do so. Well it was her annoying sense of refusal that made her even more an interesting girl.

"Bonnie ... monster ... Bonnie ... monster ... Bonster."

Kai smiled. He had found the perfect nickname for her.

Bonnie stood in the cold, waiting for Kai to come. It had been 45 minutes that she waited like that under the falling snow. It was damn cold outside. The snow had already piled on the ground and added a few centimeters in addition to covering the streets in white. The cold wasn't the problem but the glacial wind which blew in all directions.

She wanted to go home so badly. Except Kai asked her to wait, so she did. She could even do that after how he behaved yesterday. It was not easy to wait like that, being outside under this cold. Plus she was in front of the bus stop in front of the library. On Thursday, the bus passes only every 20 minutes and often it is late and passes after 30 minutes of waiting. But oddly, today this freaking bus was being very regular. The bus kept stopping in front of her every ten minutes like a temptation call that kept ringing, to leave that glacial place and stand Kai up. It was a real temptation.

She couldn't answer his call. It was not as if they had a date. Just that Kai was worried for her and proposed her to pick her up. She thought it was kind. Even if it came by Kai the heretic. Being gentle with her last night changed her vision of him. She didn't see him like a sociopath and sadist vampire animate but like a person capable of feelings. Last night, Kai could have tried a lot of things during the sex, he could do everything he wanted to her, yet, against all her expectations, he showed her kindness, heat and softness that no one gave her since a long time. She felt so empty on the inside. She thought nobody could change it, but Kai did. He had touched Bonnie, so she could wait all the night if she had to.

Bonnie Bennett was loyal toward people she cared for. She wanted to give Kai her loyalty. Obviously, she wasn't going to jump in his arms, but she would wait for him and go back home with him. The Bennetts always kept to their word. Even to murderers'. She didn't Kai, but Joshua told her before their first meeting that Kai might rape her because he's a monster. She agreed to that deal, knowing that Kai would rape her. She thought he would hurt her or try to make her suffer for his pleasure. Joshua was wrong about Kai. He wouldn't do that to her. On the contrary, despite of the deal he had made with Joshua, Kai refused to do anything against her will, even with what he could lose. Kai wasn't that bad. In truth, the only horrible person in the picture was Joshua.

Her petite body shivered with the ambient cold through with her thin clothes. She also began to sniff. She would get sick soon. She could feel her body bringing on fever. She moved a bit to warm up. It was so cold that when she breathed, she could see her hot breath in the air. Still she waited patiently. Her green eyes scrutinized all directions, desperately seeking Kai's car.

"I hope you didn't wait too long."

Bonnie rolled her eyes and turned, "Unfortunately I did."

"Hi, Bonnie." Kai greeted her, waving his fingers in his usual childish salute. He was just in front of her. So close to her. He always invaded her private circle, always invaded her space and stayed just an inch apart from her. Having a good look at him, she had to admit that he looked pretty good in his expensive suit. In addition to being tall and a bit muscular, he had this magnificent cute smile with white teeth, this curious look in the face, and this pretty, mysterious blue eyes. The cat eyes of Bonnie admired his manly stature.

"Maybe I might be wrong but by any chance, are you ogling me?" he did not expected her to respond. "Yeah I know, I'm sexy."

"You act pretentious."

"I simply have a lot of confidence... Well, you're actually still ogling me so..."

"You're late."

"Yeah sorry. I was stuck in a traffic jam. I could be faster if I did not have to roll in my car. I would have been able to use my speed to come here faster and eventually carry you to the house, but you would have had back pain after. I wouldn't want to cause you pain. At least not outside our bedroom." He giggled and then took a serious look. He touched her forehead with the back of his hand. "Seriously? You have a temperature of 39 c°. Did you get yourself into an ice river? You shouldn't have waited for me if you were going to get sick. I will drive you home immediately."

Bonnie was confused because he looked so sincere. It was difficult to say if he was making fun of her or not. She didn't know what to think about him being worried about her health. Then she just thought that he was worried about her because of the impregnation. She nodded, refusing to believe that he really cared.

"I'm glad you told me to pick you up. I thought you would ignore me." Kai admitted before putting an arm around her neck and leading her like that as if they were the best of friends in the world. Bonnie kept looking at him while they walked like that. "I thought you were going to tell me to go fuck myself, but you allowed me to come pick you up. It's a big step in our relationship." Bonnie rolled her eyes when he said the word 'relationship'. "I find today is a beautiful day."

"You think it's a beautiful day?" She looked up at him. He was obviously taller than her. It annoyed her. Kai nodded with this radiant smile still clinging to his face.

"Yup, the snow falling, you in my arms, everything is so... romantic. We could sing on a bridge and kiss in the powdered snow like in musicals. We could dance the foxtrot and do tap dancing."

"You do not make sense." She blew in her palms to warm them.

"I like blondes over brunettes, but I can make an exception for you. You know, you and me, we can be a good duo. They said every chocolate girl needs some vanilla... I'm the vanilla and you are the chocolate. Vanilla. Chocolate. Chocolate. Vanilla. Do you get it?"

"You're kidding, right?"

He smiled, "Why not? Don't you like vanilla?"

Bonnie suddenly felt stifled. She pulled away Kai's arm and turned to face him.

"I don't know what you're doing, but I don't want to be a part of it. If you want to play around or maybe upset Joshua, fine, but I don't want to be a part of your childish game. Even if you tell me you want to run the world with me, or take down the Gemini coven because you're upset they hate you, I don't want to be a part of it. Let me out of your Machiavellian plans. I don't want to be a part of it, Kai. Choose another witch and stop pretending just to catch my feelings. You can't manipulate me. I'm the wrong person for that."

Kai looked at his watch and smiled, "It's been exactly 15 seconds you've been talking. We're making progress here."

"Urgh, KAI!"

"I'm not Machiavellian. I'm just trying to be kind, that's all, Bonnie."

Bonnie raised her eyebrows. Why did he look so sincere? Something had to be wrong, and she did not want to be a part of his plans. She just wanted him to leave her alone. Kai approached her. He invaded her private circle, again. His face was just a few inches from hers. Bonnie looked at him with her pretty green eyes with a look that he could describe as curious and ... Naughty. Almost seductive. That was it. Bonnie had the most seductive eyes he had ever seen, and it was now that he just noticed that. While he stared her, she said nothing while raising her head proudly, without any fear.

Kai began to stroke her cheeks, making circular movements with his thumbs. Bonnie's lips parted, and he could see her beautiful gums. She had two longer teeth in the front like rabbits. Kai bit his lower lip to keep himself from laughing.

"Bugs Bonnie..." She frowned. She was ready to retort when he rocked her face, stepped toward her and kissed her slowly. Bonnie bit his lip hard enough to draw blood and pushed him violently away from her. He stumbled a little, surprised by her violent reaction.

"STOP KISSING WITHOUT ASKING ME. I AM NOT A DOLL." She shouted angrily and trampled away from him toward his parked Tesla.

Kai burst out laughing, "Oh my God! I can't believe it." He whispered, licking the blood in his mouth, and then he sped to catch up. In an instant he was in front of her. "You bit me hard enough to draw to the blood... That's my job. I'm the vampire. You bit me to draw blood. That's my line. It's embarrassing for me. You just crushed my balls. You emasculated me. I'm so hurt right now."

"Get out of my way."

"Okay, but say sorry first."

Bonnie crossed her arms, "No."

"I'm swimming deep in the drama pool right now, and I'm drowning. You're really dislike when I kiss you that much?"

"Kai, I'm cold and tired, okay? I want to go back home."

"Let's get back home then... My car is the-"

"I know your car."

"Why're you so angry? I just wanted to greet you, sweetheart."

"Don't call me that. I'm not your sweetheart." She passed him and walked to his car. Kai was following her, licking his bloody lip which had already healed.

"We had had sex. We shared something deep and real. And I wanted to call you a lovely name. What would you like me to call you? Babydoll ? Baby? Cutie? Pussycat? Babe? Darling? Love? Bear?"

"Oh my God!"

Kai laughed. He made her upset on purpose, and he liked it so far. "I'm a good kisser for God's sake. I'm pretty good. You keep hurting me. My heart is bleeding because of your cold acts and your silence. I'm a sensitive person and you keep making my heart bleed, my sensitive heart. I'm very very very sensitive. I mean it hurts me like a bomb in my chest that has destroyed every part of my- "

"Your sensitive heart. Yes, I know. Now, open the car."

Kai rolled his eyes, took out the remote control of the car and unlocked the doors. Bonnie opened the passenger door and sat down without paying any attention to Kai. He grunted in frustration and accelerated to sit in the car seat in his turn. Bonnie sneezed once and then a second time, as she put on her seat belt. As soon that he opened his mouth to speak, she cut him off.

"Please just don't talk."

"But-"

"Shhh."

Kai nodded, put his index on his lips and mouthed 'shh' then smiled at her. He started rolling on the snowy streets of Portland. The drive was quiet, except Bonnie who kept sneezing. Every time he wanted to open his mouth to talk, she gave him a firey look from the corner of her eyes as if to make him understand that she would set his ass on fire if he dare say a word. It was obvious she had caught cold. She sneezed a dozen times in a matter of minutes. What was incredible was that her nose looked red like a tomato. Her nose also turned red when she cried. He had noticed and it was really cute.

"Ooooh the weather outside is frightful. But the fire is so delightful." Kai began singing. "And since we've no place to go. LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW. C'mon Bonnie, sing with me please. No? Alright, I'll sing alone." He shrugged, "Ooooh it doesn't show signs of stopping, and I've bought some corn for popping. The lights are turned way down low. LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!"

She did not know what neuron was suddenly missing in Kai's brain to make him want to sing Christmas songs. She looked at him like he was a crazy. He sang during the entire ride. Clearly he didn't know that she hated Christmas. Bonnie really hated Christmas. Listening to these songs through the whole ride along was torture for her. Fortunately, Parker's villa was outside the city. They were able to avoid the traffic jams there were because of the snowfall. If she had to be stuck in that car any longer, she felt she was would lose her mental health.

Kai parked outside the villa as usual. Only the cars of Joshua and those of the blond twins could be parked in the garage of the house. There was no subtlety concerning the place that the family members gave to him, but he did not seem to care. No wonder why he had his dark sociopath side on. Both walked towards the gigantic house. Kai held Bonnie in his arms and rubbed her arms to warm her. He even removed his coat to place it on her shoulders. As a vampire he was not the best source of heat, but what he did was warming her a little bit. It was nice of him to do. For a few seconds, she forgot that it was him and plunged into his arms. Then she remembered where she was and with whom she was and tried in vain to get out of his grip.

"You're going to catch pneumonia. Stay still, Geez."

"I'm oka-ATCHOO."

"No, you're not okay, and yes, I will warm you as best I can even if you keep fidgeting in my arms." He chuckled. "Do you still feel sick?"

"No..."

"Do not lie to me, Pinocchi. You radiate as much heat as a nuclear plant, meaning you have a fever. Maybe I should go buy you some medicine."

"Don't do that... I'm okay."

Kai cleared his throat, "I can carry you home." She shook her head. "You do not want me to carry you home?"

"I said NO."

"Okaaaay, Bugs Bonnie. Use your magic then. Do something. Your temperature is high and it's not good for-"

"Bugs Bonnie? You called me Bugs Bonnie?" She asked, wiping her running nose.

"Oh yeah, it's funny. Bugs Bonnie. You know Bugs Bunnie right? Well your two long teeth remind me of Bugs Bunnie, so I just used bugs and Bonnie. The final result is Bugs Bonnie. I'm a genius!"

"I should kill you and burry your body in the mountain."

"It's when I kissed you earlier that I noticed that you've got these. Man! this kiss was perfect until you- FUCK!" Kai stumbled on a stone and nearly fell to the ground. Thankfully, he managed to find balance at the last moment. Bonnie was standing there with an annoyed look and her arms crossed. Her eyebrow raised. "I did not see that there was... Uh, a stone there so uhm... Uhm because of the snow and uhm yeah."

"You're a dork." She smiled and then laughed. Seeing her laugh was a delight for Kai. His smile brightened seeing her laugh like that. It was so hard to make her laugh like that, so when she laughed, he wanted to hear her laugh longer. Stronger. He just wanted to see her laughing again and again. He felt a strange feeling, knowing that this moment was precious to him. She had a guard up all the time, so seeing her freely express her joy was a delight. The moment was just priceless.

"I was looking for this laugh for a long time. I know. I'm a dork. I mean a sexy dork. Now you're laughing and your eyes are the brightest and I think it's pretty."

"Thank you..."

"I can't keep my eyes off you."

"Uhm, maybe we should go inside now."

She looked down. Kai saw a glimmer of sadness in her eyes. He stepped toward her and started warming her up again by rubbing her arms.

"You don't like compliments? Or you don't like compliments coming from me?"

"Kai... It's cold and-"

"Yeah, we should get inside. I don't want your ovaries to get cold. Can I carry you home?"

"No."

Kai smiled, "Any other answer would have surprised me." Before she could protest, Kai carried her like a prince would carry his princess.
