Chapter 8
Peter and Melissa were in the kitchen, early in the morning preparing breakfast for everyone.
The couple laughed and kissed as they prepare food for their children.
It was a tradition of sorts. They always made breakfast together for the kids.
"Don't forget the chocolate chips on the pancakes, or Stiles will lose it" Melissa rolled her eyes.
"Good morning" they were both startled by the new voice. They looked to the entrance of the kitchen to see Kira standing there, still in her pajamas.
"Good morning sweetheart" Peter smiled at her.
"You're up early," Melissa said as she mixed more batter.
"Yeah, I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep" Kira said as she sat in one of the stools. "What are you guys doing?" she asked.
"Breakfast, we're almost done," Melissa said as she gave Peter a peck on the lips.
Kira smiled as she witnessed the love between the two.
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you meet?" she asked curiously.
Melissa smiled brightly as she looked at Kira.
"It was very unexpecting," Peter said with a gentle smile "neither of us saw it coming."
Peter smiled to himself as he remembered that night.
"Peter! Your losing to much blood, we have to go to the hospital!" Derek yelled as he holds a cloth over the deep wound.
"No! Are you out of your fucking mind?! It's too risky!" Peter groaned out.
"We don't have time to go to the manor and wait for the fucking doctor! It could be too late" he warned "Drive to the hospital. NOW!" Derek ordered the driver.
The car jerked and it sped to the nearest hospital.
Derek didn't want to admit how scared he was. Peter and Stiles were the only family that he had. He didn't want to lose any of them.
As they got to the hospital, Derek helped Peter walk through the emergency room. A bunch of doctors and nurses ran towards them when they noticed the blood on Peter's shoulder.
After a couple of hours in the emergency room, Derek was allowed to see Peter. He was laying there, being banged up by an old nurse.
"How do you feel Peter?" Derek asked.
"Like crap" the older man groaned.
After a couple of minutes, the door opened, and a younger nurse came through.
Peter's breath hitched as he saw her. She was beautiful, gorgeous.
She had pretty brown eyes and curly black hair. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her lips were a pretty pink. Peter couldn't help himself; he just stared at the beautiful nurse.
"It's okay Margaret, I can take over, you can go home," she said gently.
The old nurse smiled thankfully and took off her gloves.
The nurse stared at the retreating form of the older nurse.
"What's your name?" Peter blurted out. Melissa turned around and froze a bit. For the first time, they locked eyes.
"Uh, Melissa" she murmured. She shook her head lightly. What was wrong with her? He was just a man. A very handsome man, with beautiful blue eyes.
Melissa, stop it! She reminded herself.
She washed her hands, put on her gloves and started to work.
Peter didn't take his eyes off her. She was just so beautiful, and her voice was so soft.
He caught her blushing lightly, and he couldn't stop his mouth from twitching up. He was glad that she was just as affected as he was.
As she finished his bandage, she gave him a small smile.
"Thank you, pretty eyes" he felt immense joy as he saw her cheeks become rosy red.
Melissa cleared her throat. "You're welcome."
Before any of them could say anything else, the door burst open.
"Peter!" A skinny little boy yelled as he ran towards the man and hugged him tightly. An action that Peter usually loved but made him wince in pain.
"Careful honey, Mr. Hale has a wound on his shoulder," Melissa said gently removing the child from Peter.
"Will he be okay?" Stiles asked as tears started to gather in his eyes. Melissa's heart broke at the boy's desperation.
"Don't worry sweetheart, he'll be alright" Melissa reassured him, and she saw relief pool in the boys' eyes.
"Who the hell told Stiles I was in the hospital?" Peter asked as he tried to sit up, wincing in pain. He looked up and glared at Derek.
Derek lifted his hands in defense. "Hey, don't look at me, I haven't talked to the kid since we left home! I had only informed the staff to get everything prepared for when we get home."
Peter narrowed his eyes before realization hit. He turned his head towards Stiles and lifted a brow. "Do you listen to all our phone calls.?"
Stiles sheepishly smiled. "Not the boring ones" he giggled
Peter rolled his eyes and motioned Stiles to sit next to him "we have to talk about boundaries" he murmured.
"How did you get here kid?" Derek questioned.
"I ordered one of the drivers to bring me" he casually said.
"Oh, you did, did you?" Peter asked amused
"Yep… I'm glad you're okay Peter" he said gently as he stared up at Peter.
"Me too kid" Peter said with a smile as he ruffled his hair.
Melissa smiled at the sight and walked out of the room, giving them some privacy.
As soon as the nurse was out, Derek started to laugh loudly "Pretty eyes?! You have a crush on the nurse?!"
Stiles' eyes lit up as he looked back at Peter. "You like someone?! Are you getting married?! When can I meet her?!" Stiles questions only made Derek laugh harder and Peter to gape at him.
"What?! NO! No one is marrying anyone! What the fuck Derek stop putting ideas in the kid's head!" Peter flushed, which only cause Derek's amusement to increase. He had never seen Peter being embarrassed this way. He was always so calm and collected. Most importantly, Peter never blushes. Ever.
After an hour or so after, the trio continued talked when the door opened, and Melissa went in with medicine and water.
Derek smiled and wiggled his eyebrows. Noticing this Stiles lights up. This must be the nurse Peter likes.
"Are you the nurse? Are you married? Do you want to marry my father?" Stiles babbled out cause Peter to choke on his water and Derek to bark out a loud laugh.
"Come on kid, let's go get you something to eat" Derek said, fighting a smile at the couple's reaction.
"But she didn't answer my questions" Stiles whined.
"Stiles, go with Derek" Peter ordered.
"Yes sir" Stiles murmured as he walked towards Derek and they left.
Melissa blushed as she gave Peter the rest of his medicine.
"I'm sorry about that" he apologized as he drank his water.
"It's alright," Melissa said as she cleared her throat "he's a smart kid" she comments, and her heart skips a beat when he smiled at her.
"He is, and he knows it, which is the reason why he causes so much trouble" he mumbles running and hand through his hair.
"I can see that he loves you" she points out.
"And I him" Peter replied giving her back the cup of water.
"Get some rest" she ordered, motioning him to lie down.
Peter smirked, she was so commanding and hell if that didn't make him more attracted to her.
"Yes, Mam."
Melissa cleared her throat and walked away, trying to hide her blush.
Peter laid back and closed his eyes.
This wasn't happening. He was just attracted to the nurse; he had been attracted to other women before, she wasn't any different, right?
"Dammit!" he growled out. He didn't like this at all. He had too much on his plate.
First, someone had betrayed him, hence the bullet in his shoulder. Someone that worked for him had talked about the trade that was going on tonight, and when he found out who it was, he's going to kill him.
Second, Evelyn had decided to move out of Beacon Hills to God knows where with her new boy toy, taking his daughter with her. He could give a rat's ass what she did with her life, but he wasn't going to let that stupid woman take Malia away from him. So right now, he was using all of his energy to go to his daughter, his little girl.
No, he wouldn't add the nurse to the equation. He was just attracted to her, and when he leaves this damn place, everything will be back to normal.
The door flew open, and Stiles and Derek came through.
"Hi Peter, I'm back," Stiles said while munching on a piece of chocolate and climbing on the bed with Peter.
Peter smiled and lightly hugged the boy; he needed to get out of this place, then everything will go back to normal.
"Then what?" Kira asked, wholly engrossed in the story.
Melissa chuckled. "He left the hospital."
"I thought if I left, I would forget about the nurse" Peter rolled his eyes.
Just then, Derek entered the kitchen "What's going on?" Derek yawned. His eyes lit up as he saw the chocolate chip pancakes.
"Oh, we were talking about the time I met Peter" Melissa said with a smile.
Derek took his eyes away from the delicious looking pancakes and barked out a laugh as he looked at his parents.
"It was hilarious; I had never seen Peter blush!"
Peter, who was walking by, rolled his eyes and slapped the kid upside the head.
"Ow!" Derek winced.
"Derek shut up. What happened next? When did you meet again?" Kira asked excitedly. She wanted to know how it happened.
"Well. After I left the hospital, no matter what I tried, I couldn't get her out of my mind" Peter said, smiling to Melissa.
"Yeah" Derek huffed "He couldn't concentrate on anything, it was both annoying and amusing."
Peter rolled his eyes and continued talking. "So, I decided to go talk to her. At first, she was very wary of me, and didn't really want anything to do with me."
"I was scared. After what happened with Rafael, I was wary of men." Melissa protested.
"So, she made me chase her" Peter spoke up.
"Yeah, she made him work for it" Derek chuckled "I had never seen him so frustrated."
"The fact that she was different from other women and obviously didn't care who I was and how much money I had made me like her even more. And after so much chasing of my part and a stolen kiss, she accepted to have a date" Peter and Melissa smiled at each other and Melissa reached for Peter, giving him a light kiss on the lips.
Kira smiled, loving how romantic their story had been.
Just then, Scott and Isaac came to the kitchen. Just like Kira and Derek, still in their pajamas.
Scott stood next to Kira, who was sitting on a stool at the counter. He smiled down at her "good morning" he said, giving her a peck on the cheek.
"Good morning" she replied with a huge smile.
Melissa, Peter, and Derek looked at each other with a knowing smiled. It was only a matter of time for them to get together.
Scott and Kira were whispering to each other when Stiles and Malia came in.
"Thank you!" Stiles blurted out when he saw the chocolate chip pancakes making everyone chuckle.
Everyone now was down, with the exception of Lydia and Liam who unfortunately were at their houses. They were all eating breakfast as a family.
"Do you want to ride with me to school?" Scott asked as he poured more syrup on his pancakes.
Kira's face lit up "Yes" she nodded eagerly. She had wanted to get on a motorcycle for some time now and being with Scott just made it better.
"You're gonna have to teach me sometime how to drive that thing."
"Please don't" Malia spoke up.
"No offense, but you can be pretty clumsy, I don't even want to imagine the consequence and injuries" She smirked making Kira scowled. She was right of course, but she still wanted to learn.
Scott chuckled. "We'll start by just ridding with me."
"Fine" Kira said with a frown but still excited.
"After school, I want you all to come to the company with me, and I mean all of you, including you Kira," Peter said seriously. Even though Scott was hesitant, the way those two looked at each other reminded him of the way he and Melissa used to be. He was almost 100% certain that Kira would be a permanent member of his family, so it was better if she started being involved. He would have to talk to Ken about it when he returns from his trip.
All of the teenagers frowned in confusion.
Considering that they are in the mafia, Peter had to have a cover-up job, so just like his ancestors had done, he had taken over the family business, the clean one that's to say. The Hale family had a company that owned many restaurants and hotels.
"May I ask why?" Isaac asked confused. Since they were still young, it was rare for them to go to the company. It was usually Scott the one that had to go since he would be taking over, or sometimes Malia, but it was very, very rare when all of them had to go.
"We're having over a very arrogant man that thinks he can be my partner just because he has money. He thinks I'm stupid and don't see his intentions, he is involved in the mafia business, but he doesn't know how to control it, so he makes terrible decisions. He just wants more publicity, and with his records, he could bring the company down if I accept, which I will not be doing. I want all of you to see how to handle this type of people" Peter said seriously "People that threaten the business for their selfish reasons. So, let Lydia and Liam know that I want them here right after school. I want you all on your best clothes." he ordered.
All of the teenagers looked at each other with a sinister smirk. This would be fun.
Everyone was in the garage getting ready to leave. Scott smiled at Kira and put his helmet on her before he got on his bike and then she followed.
Kira holds on tightly as he sped through the streets. She loved how the air hit her and how she could see the trees passing by, and she loved being so close to Scott.
When they got to school they, all walked together meeting Lydia and Liam, telling them of Peters orders.
"Okay, and I don't want to hear it, Malia, you're wearing a dress, you too Kira" Lydia commanded making Malia groaned while Kira shrugged. She didn't mind really.
"Oh, this will be interesting" Liam laughed making everyone smile.
"Why does your dad want me to go, not that I mind, I really want to go, but I was surprised he included me since it's family business," Kira asked Scott once they were sitting in their history class.
"Haven't you realized?" Scott asked incredulously "They considered you a part of the family."
Kira stared at him without saying a word. She felt so close to all of them, and she loved them. She already looked at them as their family. She just wasn't aware that they felt the same way.
The day went by with no trouble. Well, if you don't count Allison staring at Scott like a lovesick puppy.
They saw Allison glaring at Kira when at the end of the day as she climbed onto Scott motorcycle. Everyone just ignored her.
When they got to the Mansion, Lydia dragged Kira and Malia to their room, choosing an outfit and then dragging them to the bedroom that she had in the mansion where she started to do their makeup. They looked very lovely and professional in their dresses and high heels.
"If I fall, I'll destroy you Lydia" she warned her sister as she walked down the stair grabbing tightly to the rail.
"Oh, please don't be dramatic, those heels make your legs look amazing. Malia hurry up!" she hissed as she walked behind Malia.
"Don't hiss at me. It's your fault; I told you I don't like heels!" Malia snapped "I don't care how my legs look; it would be better if I were able to walk comfortably."
Lydia rolled her eyes, and Kira laughed.
All of the guys were already in the living room waiting for the girls and Peter. Melissa was the only one not going since she had a shift in the hospital.
"There's my girl!" Stiles shouted looking at Malia "You look beautiful baby" he said giving her a soft kiss.
"See, told you," Lydia said triumphally as she walked towards Isaac and kissed him.
Kira bit her lip and played with her hands as she avoided Scott's wide eyes.
"You – uh. You look beautiful Kira" he said rubbing his neck.
Kira blushed "Thank you" she murmured.
"Everyone ready?" Peter asked walking down the stairs.
"Yes"
"Is Derek not coming?" Malia asked.
"No. He has been to enough of this, plus he promised Braeden he would take her on a date today." He responded "Okay, let's get in the cars; we'll meet the fucker at the company," Peter said as she walked through the doors.
"How do you think this will go?" Liam asked from the backseat as Scott started driving.
"I don't know, but this must be important if Dad wants all of us there" Scott answered.
"The situation doesn't necessarily need to be important but what we can learn from it. From my experience, there will be a lot of people that want to take advantage of important families with influences and money; they think it will be easy to screw us over. Making sure that everyone knows not to mess with us is important" Kira pointed out.
"Plus, it can be very fun," Scott said, turning his head towards Kira, smirking.
Once they got to the building, they all walked through the lobby to the elevator. Once they got to the top floor, they entered the main floor where an old chubby man was already waiting for them.
"Mr. Hale," he said smiling, showing his ugly teeth.
"Brian" Peter said coldly.
"You brought your entire family" He said sounding surprised as he looked at the teenagers.
"My children will someday takeover, so yes they are here to learn how to take care of… business" Peter said with a small, amused smile.
As Peter and the man – Brian – continued talking, the teens stood in the background, talking amongst themselves and walking around the room. Waiting for Peter to finish his conversation so they could all move to the conference room.
"Hello Kira" Kira jumped, started at the new voice. At the moment she was alone, admiring the room. She swallowed harshly and glared at the person in front of her once she realized who it was.
"What are you doing here?!" she hissed out, he hands balling into a fist as she turned red from rage.
"I'm Mr. Marc's bodyguard. I see you've found yourself some new friends. I'm surprised really, nobody seemed to like you back home, I didn't expect anything to change." He smirked, satisfied with himself as he watched her flinched.
Son of a bitch Kira mentally cursed. She wasn't expecting this and honestly, she couldn't deal with this right now. She couldn't deal with him.
"I thought I had made it impossible for you to get another job, after all, who would want a traitor like you, but I guess you had to come all this way to get away from what you caused" Kira snapped, trying to cover her hurt.
"My, my. Has little Kira grown some claws? Last time I saw you, you were this stupid little girl that was desperate for love" he chuckled cruelly.
Kira felt tears gather in her eyes, but she was determined not to cry. She wouldn't let him see her cry ever again.
"And last time I saw you, you were begging for forgiveness, pleading. You are so pathetic really, taking advantage of a fifteen-year-old. But then again, you were never the brightest one were you" She snapped back.
"No matter what you say, I'd like to remind you that I had you eating from the palm of my hand" he growled out in anger.
Kira couldn't help but let out a cruel laugh "You really believe that? Oh, you poor thing" she said confidently "Haven't you figured it out? I could've thrown you out the moment I got bored of you. You just accelerated the process, talking to your groupie about what you were planning to do with me wasn't a smart move, and it made my revenge on you, oh so much sweeter" she said with a chuckle. She smirked when she saw the look of rage in the man's eyes.
"Everything alright," Scott asked as he came behind Kira putting his hands on her shoulders. An action that made Kira immediately calmed.
The man cleared his voice and walked away without another word.
"Kira?" Scott spoke up as he slowly turned her around.
"That's Caleb" she whispered shakenly.
Scott froze. "I'm sorry what?" he asked in a deadly voice.
Kira swallowed harshly trying desperately to control her emotions.
"Caleb. That's him"
Scott stiffly nodded before turning. He didn't even take a step before Kira stopped him. "Where are you going?" she asked once she notices his clench jaw and fisted hands.
"To break his face," he said menacingly, breathing hard. He saw how Kira reacted to this motherfuckers' presence. She looked shaken up, and he didn't like to see the sadness in her eyes.
"Please don't" she whispered "I really don't want to cause a scene, not right now. Let's just take care of business. Please" She really didn't want to talk to Caleb or have anything to do with him.
Scott sighed and closed his eyes. He noticed Kira's expression. He nodded, wanting to hurt him desperately but fully knowing that it wasn't what Kira wanted. At least not at the moment.
He saw the frown on her face and with his thumb, he rubbed her forehead until the frown disappear. He didn't like to see her upset.
"If he tries anything, I'll hurt him" he warned.
He felt at ease when Kira smiled brightly at him and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you" she whispered into his chest.
"Scott, Kira" they heard Peter call out "It's time."
Scott nodded and grabbed Kira's hand as they walked towards the conference room.
Peter sat at the head of the table. Scott on his right and Malia on his left. Next to Scott was Kira, then Liam. Next to Malia was Stiles, Lydia, and Isaac. At the other end of the table was Mr. Marcs with his bodyguards. Caleb stood behind him, smirking at Kira.
"So, what makes you think that you could be my partner Brian" Peter started off, leaning back in his chair.
"I'm a very powerful man Mr. Hale. I can help you with the trade of gu – "
"My father didn't ask you about that kind of business now did he?" Malia snapped "What could you do for this company."
Mr. Marcs looked annoyed that Malia would interrupt him and he looked towards Peter to see if he would say anything. He felt his annoyance grow when he found Peter just staring at him, waiting for an answer.
"As I said, I'm a powerful person, I'm sure we can find something," he said arrogantly.
"This is not a game" Liam spoke up "This is a serious business where serious work happens. We're not going to sit around and "find something" for you."
"My brother is right," Isaac said in the most boring manner "It is expected from you to know what to do."
"After all, isn't it you who wants to join the company. You should be aware of the job that you're asking for" Lydia said, picking at her nails and rolling her eyes at the man's stupidity. Peter was right, he's too arrogant for his own good.
"In reality, money would be lost. What would we gain, if we have to teach you how to do your job?" Stiles asked leaning forward and lifting his eyebrows, waiting for an answer.
"As I said, I have a lot of money – "
Once again, the man was cut off, this time by Scott.
"Money isn't everything" he snapped.
"But it could help" the man snapped back.
"Really?" Kira asked leaning forward and clasping her hands together "Let me put it this way Mr. Marcs. What you are asking from Mr. Hale is a partnership. Since you will be an active member of the company, you are expected to attend to meetings, close deals and make decisions. What's going to happen if you make a bad decision? One wrong move and everything can go down, and nothing, not even money could change that. So, we are asking you Mr. Marcs, what would you do next. How would you fix that and most importantly how would you avoid it? because Mr. Hale will not be there to teach you everything, he has a job after all; he has no time to baby you."
Brian looked nervously at people in front of him, not knowing how to answer.
"We're waiting Brian" Peter said impatiently.
"I, well" Mr. Marcs started to stutter, not knowing what to say.
"If a group of teenagers can shut you up I wonder what would happen if you were in a real meeting" Scott said, glaring at the man.
"Come on Brian; you're the one who requested this meeting. Convince me. Why would I allow you to enter my company?" Peter asked, enjoying the look of desperation of the man.
"If I may add – " Caleb started to speak from behind Mr. Marcs but was quickly shut by Kira.
"No, You may not. You are the bodyguard. Not a member of his family, not a member of the company. Your opinion isn't necessary nor wanted, you need to learn your place" She snapped shutting him up and made the rest of the family snicker "we're waiting for your answer Mr. Marcs."
"You allowed kids to take care of your business Mr. Hale" Mr. Marcs asked indifferently, desperately trying to find an exit to this conversation without being humiliated further.
"I don't know why you're being so judgmental. Kids they may be, but they asked valid questions. Questions that you haven't been able to answer. Simple questions Brian, that every businessman should know. You think just because you have money that you're going to be able to join my business? I'm not stupid Brian." Peter asked, taunting the man.
"Do you have anything else to say or is this meeting over?" he asked.
The man turned red with embarrassment, not expecting to be treated this way, especially by children. He stood up and walked out, his bodyguards following him.
Peter sat there and once he was out, he started laughing "That went better than I thought, good job kids. Kira, I'm really impressed" Peter said looking at Kira with admiration.
"Well, mom is a lawyer. I've heard her talk about this type of things with some of her clients since I was a little girl." She said smiling proudly.
"I didn't expect him to be this stupid Peter. Even I know more than him, and I'm 15!" Liam exclaimed as they all stood up and started to walk out.
Peter laughed and patted Liam's back lightly.
"How about I take you all to eat?" He asked.
"Yes!" Both Stiles and Liam said at the same time making everyone chuckle.
As they all walked down to the cars, Kira couldn't help but think about her conversation with Caleb. It had brought old feelings of despair and self-hatred. She shook her head and turned back to the discussion with the guys.
Kira sighed as she quietly walked down the stairs towards the kitchen. No matter what she did, the conversation with Caleb wouldn't leave her mind.
She sighed and started making some tea.
"Hey" she jumped when she heard a new voice coming from the entrance of the kitchen.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you" Scott chuckled.
Kira smiled tightly "It's okay," she said as she put poured hot water into her cup. "Wants some tea?" she asked, looking down at her cup as the water poured out.
"Sure" Scott said frowning, confused as to why Kira was acting that way.
She made another cup and gave it to Scott.
"Thanks"
"No problem."
After a moment of silence, Scott spoke up, not liking the silence and confused as to what was happening.
"Are you okay?" he asked walked closer to her.
"I'm fine" Kira murmured out without looking up.
"Kira" Scott said putting a finger on her chin and lifting her head up. "We might not have known each other for that long, but I know when something is going on with you. Talk to me."
Kira bit her lip and looked down once again.
"You don't trust me?"
Kira lifted her head "Of course I trust you. I just… I guess I'm embarrassed" she whispered.
"Talk to me" he said once again.
Kira looked at his pretty, warm brown eyes. She sighed and looked down. "I was just thinking about my conversation with Caleb" she murmured.
Scott froze and clenched his jaw "What about it?" he asked.
"He told me some stuff, and I just think that he – he might be right."
"Kira, what did he say?" Scott demanded.
Kira didn't lift her head, but tears started to gather in her eyes.
"He said that I was a pathetic girl and couldn't understand how someone could be friends with me" she whispered.
Scott swallowed harshly and once again lifted her head so he could stare into her eyes. "You don't believe, that do you?"
"Maybe I do" she whispered as a single tear rolled down her cheek.
"Kira" he whispered with a hoarse voice "That's not true. Your one of the most amazing girls I had ever met" he gently caressed her cheek "I can't imagine how our lives would be without you in it. My family adores you. I – I like spending time with you, I like you. A lot." he confessed.
Kira stared at him wide eyes. Did he mean he likes her as a friend, or that he likes her likes her?
"What" she whispered. Scott didn't say anything. He swallowed harshly. Right now, he wasn't thinking. He was just feeling.
He leaned in and softly pressed her lips against hers.
He stood there, not moving for a moment. Giving her a chance to move away if she didn't want the kiss. Once he noticed that she didn't move, he started to move his lips against hers.
And God did it feel good. He had never felt anything like this. Her lips were so soft and warm, and he couldn't help but crave for more.
The kiss that had started tender turned full of need. He grabbed her waist pulling her closer to him, needing her. She responded with a moan and put her arms around his neck, lightly pulling his hair, making Scott groan.
Both of them separated after a couple of minutes, panting.
Scott closed his eyes and rested his forehead against Kira's.
Kira opened her eyes and looked up at Scott. Her lips slightly puffy from the kiss and her cheeks red.
Kira's breath was shaken, not knowing what to say. Not knowing what to do.
"Scott?" she whispered, scared that he might regret what they had done.
"I'm not sorry" he said opening his eyes, knowing precisely what Kira was thinking.
"Me either" she whispered back.
"What does this mean?" She asked him
"What do you want it to mean?" he whispered back.
"I like you too. A lot" she confessed, "I want to be with you."
"I want to be with you as well" he said with a smiled.
He felt his heart skipped when Kira smiled brightly at him.
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" he asked, his cheeks flushing red.
Kira nodded happily and gave him a peck on the mouth. Scott smiled goofily and hugged Kira to him. He kissed her forehead before she rested her head on his chest.
He closed his eyes, feeling happy and peaceful. He was a taking a chance, he loved being around Kira, and he knew that with time, his feelings would turn into love.
