Hey guys! Look, a new chapter and so soon too!

Truth is I've already written out this one and another two so I'd thought I'd post it now.

Chapter 12

Violet's View

"Which one would you like, Ralts?"

She lifted one sleeved arm and pointed at the Peacha Berry ice-cream.

"Good choice." I smiled at her and placed the order.

The cashier handed us five ice-creams, each a different flavour and colour. Ralts took the Pecha from my hands. I had chosen the Roseli Berry while I ordered Kale the Tanga Berry, Braxien the Kasib Berry and Kyleene the Cheri Berry. They all looked so good and I couldn't wait to start on mine. But my hands were full so I'd have to wait until I got back to the room. I hoped that Kale was done with Kyleene because, honestly, I don't think I'd like to watch while Kale helped her.

Ralts and I walked out the café, the little bell on the door jingling merrily. It was sunset already. Hopefully I'd be back before it was completely dark. I quickened my pace to the Pokecenter.

I opened the door to our room and stepped in to see Kyleene with a bandage on her knee, Kale packing away the kit and Braixen who looked like someone was killed right in front of him. Ralts called to him from my shoulder and he turned to her with a face that read shock.

"Got the ice-creams," I said.

Kale looked over his shoulder at me and gave me his half-smile. He walked over and took an ice-cream from my hand. "Tanga?" he asked.

I nodded. "I still remember." I handed Kyleene the Cheri. "I guesed what you might like so I got you Cheri. You do eat Cheri right?"

She gratefully took it and nodded with a happy smile on her face. I smiled back, it was just so contagious. Finally I went over to Braixen who gave me a strange look and made a questioning noise. I furrowed my brow. "Sorry, little one. I don't understand what you're saying." I said to him while handing over the Kasib. Kale gave a chuckle behind me. "What's so funny?" I asked, hand on a cocked hip with the other one holding my ice-cream.

He shrugged. "Nothing, just you."

"Oh really?" I said with a playful grin.

"Yep. You're the funniest person I've ever met. Besides myself of course." he took a challenging step forward.

"A little cocky today aren't we?" I also took a step forward. We were close now, my chest almost touching his.

His playful smirk suddenly fell away, leaving a gazed expression. He stared into my eyes and I felt as if I couldn't look away. His hand reached up and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. His touch felt hot against my cheek and I felt a strange feeling, a feeling of longing. A feeling that I wanted more than just that simple touch.

I leaned into his hand, pressing it against my cheek. His thumb gently stroked where my eyelashes lay when I blink. He started leaning forward, coming closer and closer. I closed my eyes and awaited him but he stopped and I opened my eyes again to stare into his. His face was mere centimetres from mine. I could feel his hot breath on my lips.

"I shouldn't be doing this." he whispered to himself.

"Kale?" his eyes perked up. "Kiss me."

I stood up to close the gap. My eyes closed again and I felt a heat on my lips. I brushed his only for a moment before he pulled me closer and our lips came together. It was soft and he tasted of ice-cream. My free hand reached up and came to lay on his chest. I felt his heartbeat underneath my hand, it was rapid but soothing. It just felt so...right kissing him. My mind didn't register that this was Kale; my best friend for nine years. All I knew was this was Kale; the person I've wanted to kiss for so long but didn't realize it.

His hand moved down from my cheek to my neck and shoulder, where it rest lazily while his other hand came to sit just above my hip. Both hands added to my warmth and rightness of this. Wait, both hands? Where's his ice-cream?

I reluctantly pulled away from his sweet lips and stared up into his eyes. Our breaths were a bit laboured but that was all. "Where's your ice-cream?" I asked.

He chuckled slightly under his breath. "I'm surprised you didn't ask where Kyleene was first."

I blushed slightly from realization came that I was kissing Kale in front of an innocent child. I stepped away from Kale's hands and searched the room for Kyleene. She wasn't even in the room. "Where is she?"

He ran a hand through his now dry hair. "I told her to go home and give my ice-cream to her mum."

Relief flooded my mind before I started blushing to my roots. I had just kissed Kale, and I had literally asked him to. Oh Gosh. I hope I didn't ruin our friendship now because of that. I mean, it just sort of happened... We were just friends right?

But it felt so right.

"Violet?" Kale's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Yes?" I couldn't look in his eyes, not now.

"I'm meeting some friends tomorrow. I was wondering if you would like to come with? I'm sure they would want to meet and battle you." it was evident that he didn't want to speak about what just happened. Good, didn't want to speak about it either.

I cleared my throat, trying to look cheerful. "Yeah, I'd love to meet your friends."

So what'cha think? They kissed! Yay!

And next chapter Violet will meet Kale's friends but who are they?

See you then ;)

Peace out!
