Last Vacation
Chapter 7: Tala's first kiss.
"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hilary couldn't help it. She shouted the driver's name as the speed increased in the way down by the sand dune. Her hair waved in the back and she soon found herself getting apart from Kai's back, because of the speed. As the quad bike had nothing to prevent her from falling, she grabbed his shirt. She gasped when she felt a hand behind her back… and then noticed Kai was rounding her, protecting her…
"I told you, not to shout" he ordered. She just smiled sheepishly. It was true, after all, Kai had said he'd shut her up. Wonder how he would do that.
On the quad bike next to them, there was Jade and Tala, the girl laughing cheerfully at the high speed they were reaching. On the back, Tala took the opportunity each time and held himself as much close as he could to her back, rounding her waist from behind with his strong arms.
She smiled, and once a while hit his shoulder weakly, a signal that he was pressing more than what she expected against her. He just smirked at this, and let go a little, to do the same minutes later.
He could see her cheeks go red scarlet every time he rested his head on her shoulder. After all, going on the back of the quad bike hadn't been that bad. He could still play some funny games making her blush deeply, and he was enjoying it.
Kai drove his four wheeler nearer the sea. Some of the other guys were doing that, and he found it funny how the water splashed onto their cloth, and how Hilary said "Eww! It's cold!" each time it touched her skin. She was wearing a white pair of shorts and a loose, pink sleeveless t-shirt. Her arms were now holding Kai's shoulders, and she could feel him so close. His hands were now back in the steering, driving skillfully, always following Jonathan that went in the front.
They got back to the hotel at about seven o'clock. Hilary heard her name being pronounced, and lifted her sight. "Hey! Hilary! Would you like to come with us? We're eating altogether!" called a happy Max. She had almost forgot about it… those guys were her best friends, and she was going to see them go in less than a month. She sighed at this memory, and headed towards them with a fake smile on her face. Keep smiling took her time when she remembered that kind of things…
She got where the Bladebreakers were, and finally Tyson spoke. "Hey… we thought it'd be nice to have dinner together once a while… Hil? Are you okay?" he asked, and everyone looked surprised by his question.
"Ya! Everything's fine guys! Let's go!" her smile grew wider, though she knew one of them knew it was a completely false smile… but maybe, forgetting about Kai was the best thing to do.
Tala walked, completely lost in his memories of the day, through the cleared beach. He was wearing the same cloth he had taken to the quad ride, a pair of grey swimming trunks, and a white t-shirt. No one was outside, and that was good for him. He liked the calmness the sea gave to him, and during the sunset there was nothing best he would find to do than walking on the sand and relaxing.
His thoughts drove his sight to someone… someone that was there sitting by the water. A girl, he figured out, narrowing his eyes to see better. Her long, red hair shifted slightly by the cool breeze, was something he loved to watch. Since when? Since when Tala Ivannov loved something that wasn't power?...
He sighed… was he no longer a Russian Soldier if he suddenly started having feelings for a girl? Girls were supposed to be weak… but he knew, deep inside, Jade wasn't weak… besides, she was strong. She was the strongest girl he had ever known. He… was proud of her.
He shook his head. He had to remove those thoughts from his mind… but he couldn't remove his eyes from her. She wasn't aware he was there, watching her every movement. She had her violet bikini on, and a light-blue, short sleeved t-shirt covered her top. Her eyes seemed lost in the horizon, the sun setting faraway. 'What a beautiful sight' thought the guy, when unconsciously he removed his shirt, threw it in the sand, and his foot started walking him to his friend.
She heard his footsteps when he was about two meters from her. "Hi" she whispered, without removing her eyes from the sun. "Hi" he answered back. He took a seat next to her, at her right side, and smiled weakly at the sea. About three meters from them, the waves hit against the sand with a passion… a feeling he loved too.
He rounded her neck with his left arm, passing it above her shoulders. She laughed playfully. Then, his right arm pushed against her left shoulder and short after he was lying on top of her, his legs at both sides of her waist, and her bare legs still flexed.
"I got you Tomei" he pointed out, she just kept laughing. His hands were in each of her shoulders, pulling her against the warm sand. He smirked proudly, but the smirk faded at her next question, "and what will you do now?"
"I don't know?" he answered lazily. It was the truth, he had never been in that situation before, just playing for fun, and holding a girl beneath him… a girl he had feelings for. "If you stay here, you'll miss dinner" he said, just because it was the first thing that came to his mind.
"I'm not hungry." The smirk was now present on her face, and in a strong and nimble movement she was the one on top.
Tala blinked twice. She was still laughing playfully… nothing had changed except that now she was the one on control. She let herself fall on top of him, her head resting on his right shoulder. He instinctively rounded her waist with both arms, and pressed her tightly against him.
The guy gasped when he noticed her breasts pushing his chest… 'this was something obvious to happen' he scolded himself, but actually he hadn't thought about that feeling. 'Uh, big…' he thought, small grin on his face.
"What do you smile at?" she asked, her hands playing subconsciously with the back part of his red hair. He laughed slightly. "Nothing"
"C'mon…- she said, her hands going down on his neck, trying to tickle him. -why were you laughing? I wanna laugh too…" she said, using her puppy face to persuade him.
"Heh… no, I won't tell you…" he declared, grabbing her arms and pulling her off him, only to place himself on top of her again.
"What are you- -but she stopped when she noticed his breath mixing with hers, their mouths only inches apart. - Tala…"
He had never thought he would end up doing this. But he was doing far too good to retract now… his hands were holding her arms, where her hands were still pressed against the sand. He was about a head taller than her, so his body covered her completely. His hands rested one at each side of her hips, and their eye contact was impossible to break.
He breathed slowly, and moved his head closer, about three centimeters, until his lips touched hers. He saw her eyes gradually close, as she melted in the kiss he was giving her. His tongue parted her lips, tasting every inch of her mouth as it explored the interior.
She moaned when Tala's hands slid to her waist and he made the kiss deeper. Her hands moved to the top part of his back, and moved up and down slowly. Then she realized how soft his skin was. Tala parted the kiss slowly, placing an innocent one when he finally broke it. He smiled at her, and she smiled back.
Then he tightened the grip he was giving, and let his head fall restless on her shoulder. "Jade… what a nice kiss you gave me." He said, uncertain of what would be her reaction. She laughed playfully, and kissed his cheek.
"Maybe you could get more of that, if you're kind enough." She said, her hands going back to play with the back of his hair.
Hilary got up later that morning. She turned off her clock, and fall asleep again. When she woke up, it was already twelve am, and probably the rest of the girls were having lunch. She cursed under her breath as she walked towards the bathroom. Her eyes were still red from crying last night… god, she had to stop doing this in some way! Kai had not been there to comfort her as in the ship night, and after all, he had no reason to do it.
It had been just simple coincidences, every thing that had happened between her and Kai. She had to convince herself about that. There was no point in thinking of having something with him, if, after all, he would be leaving to Russia as everybody else in the team. Maybe she could date a guy from her university, once she went back to Japan, or maybe she could date Tyson, that would, at least, live in the same country.
But she liked Kai. Not Tyson, and not any other possible guy from her university, including the most similar one to the blue haired she could find. She liked Kai Hiwatari, and there was no other possibility for her. She brushed her teeth and washed her face. Then she left the room and walked to the hotel restaurant.
Everyone was talking about the tournament. The 3 M's Q didn't seem disappointed by their last lost battle, though that meant their elimination from the tournament, they still looked happy. While the Blitzkreig WC team, didn't seem happy because of their victory, all except Rei, for sure, who was now shearing a table with the rest of the White Tigers and telling them about his victory. Tala, Bryan and Kai were eating with Ian and Spencer, as they usually did. While she took a sit next to the Russian girl, who, surprisingly, was in their same table.
Hilary could notice how Jade wouldn't stop looking at some spot in the room, and that spot was, Tala. And the guy looked at her at random times, making her blush slightly. 'Strange- she thought. -Jade told us nothing last night. oh, but she likes keeping herself to herself…' she sighed, and then drunk some of the orange juice she had got.
The battle of the day was announced: Night Warriors vs. Michael's Team. Hilary sighed. It was three days still for her team's battle… and yet she hadn't learn launching.
Not many people went to see the battle that was held between the two teams, from which the Night warriors came victorious. Michael couldn't believe having lost against Miguel, who, smiling happily, hugged Mathilda. That girl wouldn't miss any of her former leader's battles.
"Hilary! -called a girl from between the people that was on the top floor. -what are you going to do this afternoon?" she asked. When Hilary got closer she found out it was Myriam.
"Nothing special, why?"
"Oh, because I thought maybe we could rent some bikes and ride?" she offered. The brunette liked the idea, and followed the blue haired towards the hotel lobby.
"Maybe we could call the other girls?" she suggested, and Myriam liked the idea. They were many now: Mathilda, Mariah, Julia, Queen, Salima, Monica, Emily, Ming Ming, and even Jade had agreed to go. So there they went, they rented eleven bicycles and left the hotel at half past five.
"Where should we go?" asked Emily, once they were on the beach.
"I guess it's good to explore the beach, don't you?" asked Queen, who was next to Salima in the front. On her other side was Ming Ming, who had became her best friend. Behind them there were Monica, Emily, Mariah and Mathilda, and the three resting were on the back.
They got to an empty space, there was no people and it seemed good to rest a while. They stopped the bikes, got off them, and sat on the floor on a circle. All of them knew it but none of them had the courage to say it: it was confession time.
Going with the girls out could only mean one thing: you had to tell them all what you felt, all what you were up to, and all what you had done, with guys. The rest of your life didn't matter in that moment.
Ming Ming spoke up suddenly. "Okay gurls, if you're not to start I am. I like a guy since an year, and I'm planning to declare what I feel for him in this month. He won't do it, I know that."
"And who's him?" asked Mariah, this game fascinated her the most.
"He's… Daichi." She confessed. Many of the girls fall anime style, some of them just giggled and some snorted in disbelief. But in Ming Ming eyes, the fact of what was true could be easily seen.
Myriam told them she had kissed Johnny, from the Majesties, an year ago, and he had paid no more attention to her since that had happened. Emily, Hilary discovered, was in deep love with Kenny. It was something that didn't surprise her as much as to discover that Julia was interested in Bryan. That Mathilda liked Miguel, everyone knew it. As they knew Mariah was dating Rei, and Salima was dating Kane. But what no one knew was that Jade had kissed Tala, what she decided to tell them, and that Monica had a crush on Garland. Queen was in a deep depression because she had broke up with her past boyfriend before going on vacation. And finally, the last person of the circle, was her.
Hilary gasped as Jade slightly punched her ribs with her elbow. "Come on Hilary!- she whispered.- many of us already know it."
The brunette gulped, and stared at the sand. "I… like… Kai." she said, above a whisper.
Kai walked away from the building, to the beach. It was already eleven pm, and he hadn't seen any of the girls during the afternoon. Bah, since when he cared?
For once, he had an answer for that question. Since Tala had told him what he was up to, he cared. Since he had discovered one of the Russian Soldiers could kiss, and more than that, actually had kissed a girl.
Hilary was not Russian and was in no way similar to Jade. But it was the brunette the girl he liked, it was the girl that, with the worst abilities he had ever saw, was able to launch a blade and make it spin… less than two seconds.
There she was. He lifted his sight to see a slim figure moving towards the see, that now was dark because of the night, that had already covered the sky. He walked towards her and guessed she had been practicing. She had her blade on her hand, and was wearing a pair of red shorts and a white t-shirt.
"Hilary, -he called. -not that way, it's not the position I told you." He remarked. She sighed disappointed, and let her body fall on her knees. She had been trying her best.
"Sorry…" she whispered, but Kai didn't hear.
"It's okay… let's try again, I'll help you." He didn't find it hard talking to her, not when the conversation was about a topic he knew about. And he knew a lot about beyblading, and enjoyed teaching her.
She smiled weakly and let Kai take her hands on his bigger ones, and launch the pink blade for her. "That's the way." He pointed out.
"Okay let me try…" she said, still frustrated. She launched the blade… and it worked. "Oh my god I can't believe it!" she smiled, jumping in the air. The blade was still spinning when Kai smirked, and looked at her.
She looked so beautiful when she was happy… and that make him think he could try something… letting his instinct act instead of his reason.
He kept staring at her, and she stared at him. Crimson and Ruby eyes kept locked, while Kai lifted a hand and caressed her cheek. She gasped when he noticed Kai was getting closer, at the time his other hand slipped around her waist.
