Kiss Me Cookies - Part 4

Kaito: Is there a song you would like to hear?

Samantha: Kaito... Just... sing me... a lullaby.

I raised my eyebrow, and sat on a bench beside her. She leaned on my shoulder and sighed.

Kaito: (Argh! I think I might lose it, she is so pretty with blue hair...) Tired of being embarrassed? You really just want fall asleep here?

Samantha: I'm too tired to care. Just sing, before I start squealing uncontrollably.

Kaito: Whatever for?

Samantha: You are way too... Is 'handsome' the right word? Or is it 'sexy'? Either way... Cute! That's it... Cute... You are way too cute right now... So just sing.

Kaito: (W-what!?) ...Fine...

I gently sang a lullaby. Samantha drifted off, collapsed into my lap, and curled into an adorable little ball. Her breathing was soft and super cute. I thought I might fall asleep too if I kept staring. So I stood up and carried her back to Spinner's car. Spinner was waiting with a pair of twins fast asleep in the back of the vehicle. I put Samantha in her seat and sat beside her. Spinner started the car and we drove back to Luke's house. Samantha stayed fast asleep and I found myself drifting off. Before I fell asleep fully, I heard Samantha mumbling 'On Top of Spaghetti' in her sleep.

The sun shimmered through the window onto my back. Its heat pierced my clothing and warmed me up. I slowly opened my eyes to see a Samantha asleep next to me. We were on Luke's floor under a blanket. Samantha hugged me, and murmured something. I slowly slipped out of her grasp and got up. I saw Luke watching me from the kitchen and I walked over to him.

Kaito: (Am I in trouble?) Good morning, Luke. I hope you don't mind us sleeping at your house.

Luke straightened his shoulders, and let a small smile cross his face.

Luke: I kinda suggested that you two sleep here. Spinner helped.

Kaito: (I'll thank Spinner later.) Well, thank you.

Luke: You're welcome.

I went and changed. When I came back, Samantha was dressed in her ninja suit and baking cookies. She still had the blue in her hair, even though the braid was gone. Luke was outside setting up the tea party. Samantha walked over to me and held out a cookie.

Samantha: Here! Kaito-kun!

I froze. I watched her more closely. Her movements seemed bouncier than normal. She stood on her tip-toes and kissed my cheek.

Samantha: It's breakfast! Because you took so long coming downstairs! It's noon!

Her voice sounded super sweet, and she smiled just as sweetly.

Kaito: (Trap! Trap! Abort Mission Morning Ice Cream!) Uh... Are you okay?

Samantha stumbled backwards and I reached out and caught her.

Samantha: Perfect! As always! The Eat Me Cookies are just as good as they have always been!

Everything made perfect sense and I let out a long sigh.

Kaito: When is it going to wear off?

Samantha: Aww... In about four hours... Aren't you gonna eat the cookie?

She pouted and looked hurt. Her emotions were so exaggerated... I eyed the cookie suspiciously.

Kaito: Is it an Eat Me Cookie?

Samantha: No... Why would I feed you that? I wouldn't have eaten one except... Kyle won a bet and I had to eat one.

Kaito: (What kind of bet?) I see.

Samantha: Are you gonna kiss me?

Kaito: W-why!?

Samantha: Because you didn't kiss me yesterday, after the ball.

Kaito: (What am I doing?!) If I do... will you feed me lots of ice cream?

Samantha: Can I eat some while I feed you?

Kaito: (My circuits must have overloaded!) Can I feed you while you feed me?

Samantha: Do I like mint chocolate?

Kaito: (Why is she so cute? And why did I have to put blue dye in her hair?) Yes?

She nodded enthusiastically.

Samantha: Yes, Kaito. Yes.

I gripped her chin and kissed her soft lips. When we pulled apart, she grinned and ran for the freezer, coming back with a bucket and two spoons.

Kaito: (What did I just do?!) What flavor?

Samantha: Vanilla... 'Cause that's what everyone chooses.

Kaito: (I'm just gonna give in now...) Okay.

I scooped some and held it out to her. She immediately ate it. Samantha then held out a spoon full of ice cream. My brain melted. I fed her another spoonful and she kissed me.

(So... I guess there's nothing to say here.)

See you all next time! Or else... Hey, lemme go, ej!

(I'm not letting you threaten the readers. Come on, we're leaving.)

...Sushi out!
