Kane kept his distance for a few days. He spent most of the time in his room. I brought his food to his room and let his be peacefully. The house felt bigger without him, but it also was lonely. My heart ached at the thought of not seeing him smile, or his curious eye with details. Why did I feel this way? He's right upstairs, I thought. It's not like he's gone. I curled up on the couch and sighed. Maybe I'm just so used to him? Or maybe…..Am I in love with Kane? My heart beat quickened at the idea and my cheeks heated with embarrassment. No, no it can't be. He isn't even human as far as I can tell, or is he? I looked up at the ceiling, where his room was and bit my lip. Kane….do you love me too or am I just crazy for thinking that I love you? I need to know.
My feet found a mind of their own as I came to a stand and managed to walk up the stairs with jelly for legs. I took a deep breath of air and took one torturously slow step after the other until I was standing in front of Kane's door. My fist came up an inch away from the door when it swung open. Kane stood surprised to find me there. I opened my mouth to spoke but nothing came out. My cheeks burned embarrassingly. "Jasmine," he stated, collecting himself "did you need something?" "No," I answered after a moment "no…..I just….I was just wondering if you had anything in mind of what you wanted for dinner tonight…." "Whatever you cook would be perfect." he replied, giving me a heart melting half smile like Edward from Twilight. I smiled shyly and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear, looking down. He coughed into his hand and said "I'm going to go take a shower." before going past me. I nodded and waved as I rushed to my own room. I leaned against the door and murmured "This is gonna be harder than I thought…."
