Hi you guys! I finally have internet again and I am just over the moon. I don't have much to say. This is the third last chapter and there is a lemon in this one, also the last lemon for this story. I will post chapter 29 next week so until then, enjoy this one!

Chapter 28 – Soon

"Will you relax already? One would think that it is you who is going to lose your virginity and not the other way around."

"Hey, in a way I am also losing my virginity; I am going to do it for the first time with someone I love and care deeply for and I have never done something like that before, or rather, I have never felt like this about anyone else before, so yeah, I have to be nervous."

"Ah, that is so sweet. You know Jonathan, I am being honest when I say that you have really surprised me and I am really proud of you. You really did change and I am glad for that because let's face it, you were a grade-A asshole, but now, you are one of the nicest guys I have ever known."

"Thanks I guess, and also thanks for rating me that high of an asshole. I owe it all to Ciara you know; if it was not for her, I would not have come this far. I know I was determined to change after Michael's death, but with Ciara by my side, it was just so much easier and also much easier to remain on that straight path. I really owe a lot to her. She really is the best thing that has happened to me and I really cannot picture my life without her; I don't even want to know how it would have been if I did not meet her."

"She really is something special, and in a way she keeps us all sane."

"You can say that again."

Jonathan and Jessica were currently at her house, getting Jonathan all dressed up for the night. Tonight is the night when he and Ciara are finally going to do it, and Jonathan cannot help but sweat a little and feel nervous. Jessica has hired a suit for him and is now currently busy turning him into a true gentleman for the night; she also bought a stunning dress for Ciara, and the said young lady will be arriving anytime soon to fall under Jessica's hands to get a total make over for the night. Ciara will be picking up CJ on her way to Jessica's so that CJ and Jonathan can hangout while Jessica plays dress up with Ciara. What the young Hiwatari does not know, is that Jessica even went and bought her some sexy lingerie to wear for the special night. The dinner and hotel room is all set, and the only thing needed now is the two love birds. Jonathan will drive Ciara's truck after she has arrived, and CJ will be borrowing Jonathan's car for the night.

Tala and Cindy are sitting in the living room, each with a drink in their hand. Ciara has just left a couple of minutes ago and she at least spent about two hours with Tala; the two had lots of fun and Ciara was a little bit sad that she had to leave. Cindy asked her whether she still wants to join Jessica on the boat trip, and Ciara said that she will not be able to live with herself if she had to drop her best friend at the last minute.

Right now, Cindy was just looking at Tala, smirking. "What?"

"I just can't get over the fact of how different you look; I mean, short black spiked hair Tala? Really?"

"It was not my choice if I am being honest. I really do miss my red horns but they will just bring me into a shit load of trouble if I change back to my old hair style, and you are one to talk; what about your hair?"

Cindy chuckled and shook her hair as if to draw more attention to her hair. "I think it suits me just fine, and besides, it's much more practical in my line of work, and also, I wanted to start over, leave the past behind and what better way than getting a new hairstyle. It suits my eyes." Tala also smirked, agreeing that it does suit Cindy perfectly.

"So, when was the last time you got laid?" Tala choked and started to cough because of Cindy asking something like that just out of the blue. The Kon woman looked on in amusement as the once young player acted all shocked upon hearing such a simple question. "I'm serious Tala." The once red haired man finally managed to stop coughing and composed himself.

"Laid? What is that?" The two old friends burst out laughing, causing Jock to look up as he was resting in the living room along with the two humans. "Will you believe me if I tell you that the last person I had slept with was Solange?"

Cindy's jaw dropped upon hearing Tala's confession, and just looked at him in complete shocked. "Are you serious? You poor thing; it must really be difficult for you since you never went a week without sex after you lost your virginity, well, except for that time when you and Solange got back together the second time, but still, you were like on the brink of becoming a sex addict."

"Don't remind me; I had to get use to my two hands; and what about you? Kai still the only man you have slept with?" Tala could just see how Cindy's face lit up and he just knew the answer is yes. "Wow, I am impressed."

"Thanks, but I am a woman Tala; it is not that difficult for us to stay without sex, and I gave my body to Kai all those years ago and that is how it is going to stay. If I never get to experience intimacy again, I am fine with that."

"Man, I wish I could do that."

"No you don't." Tala chuckled and just winked at Cindy, indicating that she had caught him out.

"You want to get laid tonight?"

"What?"

"You know, get it on with a woman."

"And how am I going to manage that? I am not sleeping with a prostitute."

"No man, we are going to a club; my assistant told me about this awesome club, The Mix, or something like that and I am really curious on how it is. So, are you in or what? You will most definitely find a lay for the night; once you put on that Ivanov charm of yours, you will be back in the game in no time."

"You sure have a lot of faith in me, but sure, I can do some clubbing. I did miss the party scene so why not?"

"Excellent. Let's go get freshened up and go; I have wanted to go to this club for a while now, but all my girlfriends have children to look after and Ciara is not allowed, and I seriously doubt she wants to see her mother in a club."

"Little does she know what kind of party animals both her parents were."

"Sssshhhh," Cindy said while placing a finger over her lips, letting Tala know that it should remain a secret.

The two friends took showers and got dressed in clothes that will most definitely draw attention, from both sexes. After making sure that they both look absolutely breathtaking, the two friends made their way over to the club, the very same club where Ciara's drink was spiked not too long ago.

77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

"This is wonderful my love, thank you so much."

"You look wonderful babe, much more than this restaurant."

Ciara blushed at how Jonathan was complementing her. They were sitting in a private booth in a fancy restaurant, and both of them were dressed in formal wear. Jonathan still has his mow hawk hairstyle but that just makes him look even sexier; he had on a suit with a bowtie and looked like a James Bond character; fortunately Jonathan has the confidence to make himself look like a very respectable and important person, a characteristic Ciara once heard her mother say her father also had.

Ciara is dressed in a light blue shoulder-less gown, with a pair of silver high heels. Her hair was done up, with a few strands hanging beside her face, curled into soft and eloquent curls. The colour of the dress suits her hair and they match perfectly. Her make-up is smoky, with black eye shadow that also suits her mahogany coloured eyes. Jessica went out of her way to make Ciara even more breath taking than she already is; she even persuaded Ciara to put on the lingerie that she had bought her friend, so right now Ciara is sitting with a black shoulder-less corset, paired up with a deep red lace panty. Jessica even managed to persuade Ciara to have a Brazilian wax, but she advised Ciara to get it on Thursday so that she will be fine by Friday. Ciara did not really understand why she could not get it done on the same day she is meeting Jonathan, but after having it done, she could understand why Jessica suggested that. She also felt like killing her best friend for making her go through something so painful, but she had to admit that she liked the end result, although it did feel a bit strange at first.

The two love birds are currently busy with the main course of the meal, and soon it will be time for the dessert, and then they can finally move towards their hotel room for the main event of the night. Both are very nervous at the moment and both are also secretly wishing that their dinner would be finished by now so that they can work on settling their nerves already. Their overnight bags have already been taken up to their room and neither knows how the room has been prepared, with all of the candles and rose petals. Both will be very surprised at how it looks like.

"You still ready for this Ci?"

"Only if you are."

"Of course I am, although I am a bit nervous." Ciara looked at him with a frown on her forehead, Jonathan just chuckled at that facial expression of his girlfriend; she looks so cute with that confused look. "Ci, you are the first girl I have ever loved and it will also be a first for me, you know, making love, so yeah, I am really nervous if that is putting it lightly."

"Ah my love, that is so sweet of how you are putting it; now I am feeling much better because I really have no experience. The only experience I have is that of kissing you, so you will have to teach me all you know."

"We will learn together my love; I might have had sex already but it was always just for my own selfish reasons. Tonight I will be putting someone else's needs and wants before mine, and that is a first for me." At that moment the two just started to relax completely, and just smiled at each other while holding hands and looking at each other. "We will be fine babe; I will make sure we both enjoy it and that it will be really special."

"Thanks my love; you really are a true gentleman and I really am very blessed to have you in my life." Jonathan gave her hands a tight squeeze and a very warm smile.

"As I am also blessed to have you in my life; you have made me a much better person, more than I could ever have been and I cannot even imagine how my life would have been if we have never met. Just the thought of that makes my heart beat irregularly and my chest starts to tighten. I love you Ciara Hiwatari, with everything in me and I will always try my best to make you happy, and that is a promise."

Ciara could not help but to start feel all teary-eyed and emotional by Jonathan's words; hearing him speak like that just convinces her once again that true love does exist, the same love her parents had, and she is just so lucky to have that love in her life, while others will never get to experience it in their lives, not ever.

"And I love you Jonathan, more than words or actions will be able to express. I just know you are my soul mate and I do not want to picture my future without you; I simply can't and I also do not want to."

Jonathan held her hands even tighter and his eyes also started to become teary-eyed. No words were shared between the two, but it was not necessary; their eyes were saying all there is to say. The young, yet very strong love, that they feel for each other, the same love that Ciara knew her parents had, the same love that so many people all over the world search for, ending up more heartbroken than ever before, the same love that so many believe only exists in fairy tales, and that there is no way such love will be able to survive in this world that is filled with hate, anger, rage and so many negative feelings, the same love that have overcome so many obstacles in so many relationships, that is the love that these two young ones are sharing and there is no doubt about it as their eyes will never lie of what they are feeling on the inside.

Despite it still being rather early in the night, the club called The Mix, is already packed and there is a long waiting queue outside. Tala and Cindy were very fortunate to be able to get in without having to wait in the long queue. Tala felt like a teenager again the moment he walked in and when he saw all the dancing people and laser lights, hearing the music, and it just took him back to Moscow. A feeling of nostalgia came over him as he and Cindy proceeded to one of the bars to go and get a drink. Suddenly memories started flooding the Russian born man's mind, all of how they all had danced and had a good time in his and Kai's club; how he picked up girls and how they drank until they forgot their own names. Tala started to miss his best friend, along with all of his other friends that he had in Moscow, and also those that he had left behind. Sadness is not something Tala is use to feeling, but right now it is all he seems to feel. He followed Cindy, imagining her with Kai by her side, the three of them back to being teenagers.

'I really do miss my old life; everything and everyone that was in Moscow; my friends, family, Solange, everyone. Maybe it would have been better if Kai had killed me, then at least I would not have had these horrible feelings right now. How the hell am I supposed to enjoy tonight if everything around me reminds me of all that I have lost and that I had to give up?! How did Cindy manage to get through all that pain and suffering? How can she be in such a place and still look so happy and carefree? Then again, Cindy was always a strong woman and always stayed strong no matter what came her way, so why should this be any different?'

Tala continued following Cindy through the crowd up until they reached the bar, waiting for a bar tender to come to them, which is clearly going to take a while since the bar is fully packed. Cindy could see that Tala's demeanour had changed drastically and she is almost certain that it has something to do with the club and the atmosphere.

"You okay?!" Cindy had to half-scream into his ear so that he will be able to hear her over the loud music. He just smiled at her and nodded, but Cindy knew he was lying and she just looked at him with no expression on her face. Tala sighed, knowing it does not help lying to her.

"I just miss Moscow and all our friends and family we had; I miss what we all shared!"

Cindy nodded, knowing exactly what Tala is feeling at this very moment. She feels it almost every day and there is no escaping it. "Just enjoy tonight Tala, or try to at least! I know it is hard but it is all in the past and you can't change that! Forget it all even if it is just for tonight! We can talk about it tomorrow!" The smile Cindy gave Tala made him feel slightly better and he had to agree with her, it is in the past and he should just forget it, even if it is only for tonight. He should just enjoy himself because when was the last time he went clubbing, and when will he get a chance again, so he should really make the best of it tonight.

Cindy noticed how Tala's face lit up after he was lost in thoughts for a moment, and she just knew that tonight they are going to have fun. Tonight is all about having fun, forgetting all that has happened and to just pretend to be teenagers all over again, teenagers who are just going to dance the night away like there is no worries in the world, and like there is no tomorrow with any sorrows waiting for them.

Jonathan and Ciara are in the elevator, on their way to their hotel room. After confessing all of their emotions to each other, they both have calmed down and are not that nervous anymore.

Jonathan opened the door to their room, and both he and Ciara gasped when they walked into the room and saw how it had been decorated.

"It's...wow my love...it's beautiful!"

Ciara hugged Jonathan tightly while the young man made a mental note to buy Jessica a very special gift to show how grateful he really is because he had no idea just how much effort she had put into everything. The room was lit with many small red candles, and deep red rose petals were all over the carpet and on the bed. There was sparkling apple juice on ice because they both are still underage, along with a bowl of beautiful strawberries; soft music was playing in the back ground and the room had a sensual, yet very soft, smell to it, most probably coming from the candles. The whole atmosphere in the room was romantic, just the perfect setting for how the two young love birds are feeling at this very moment.

They went in and closed the door, taking in every little detail of the well prepared and beautifully decorated room. Ciara walked over to the bed and sat down to take off her shoes; she is just not use to wearing high heels for longer than an hour and she really just wants her feet to rest. Jonathan walked over to the cupboards and after opening the doors, he saw that their bags have been neatly placed inside. He took off his jacket and threw it onto the couch and then undid his bowtie and also the first two buttons of his shirt.

"Some sparkling juice for you my lady?"

"Of course my dear, I would love to have some," the two were talking like a really civilised couple from the 18th century. Ciara got up and stood right beside Jonathan as he poured their drinks. She took a strawberry and held it for her boyfriend so that he can take a bite from the aphrodisiac fruit. She ate the other half after he took his bite. He gave her glass to her and decided that they should make a toast.

"To new beginnings my love."

"To us becoming one soul, one body and one mind."

They clink their glasses and proceeded to eat some more of the strawberries. Neither of them had any room left in their stomach after the three course meal, but they just could not resist the juicy and very red strawberries. They continued drinking and eating and just laughing as they continuously made jokes, but soon enough they both decided that it was finally time for the big step.

Jonathan guided Ciara to the bed and they came to a standstill at the foot of the bed. While the music was still playing softly in the background, they just looked at each other. Ciara placed her arms around Jonathan's neck, whereas he placed his hands on her lower back. He kissed her which she happily returned, and the kiss deepened very quickly, becoming very passionate and heated. It did not take long before they were clutching each other's clothes as the desire and lustful feelings started to become stronger and stronger. Jonathan finally started to unzip Ciara's dress with one hand, as the zip was located on her left side, his other hand moving up the right side of her neck and just caressed her neck gently while unzipping the dress. The moment the dress was undone, Jonathan slowly moved it down her body until it fell to her ankles. He looked at Ciara's body the moment he knew the dress was off and his breath got caught in his throat as he was beyond shocked, and turned on, by the sexy lingerie his girlfriend was wearing. Ciara started to blush at how Jonathan looked at her body but the lust was clear in his eyes. He pulled her close to his body, so close that Ciara could not manage to unbutton his shirt, so all she could do was wrap her arms around Jonathan's neck and enjoy how strongly he started to kiss her, demanding entrance into her mouth with his tongue which she gladly allowed.

Ciara could feel how his kissing became much more demanding and it just added to her own arousal. She could feel how Jonathan's erection was pressing against her and although she has no clue on how a penis looks or feels like, she is almost certain that his will be classified as big, because it is quite a very large bulge that is pressing up against her. Still Ciara was pressed so closely to Jonathan's body that she could not manage to unbutton his shirt and it did not seem like he noticed or even cared about it, because it was clear that he was way too preoccupied with kissing her like his life depended on it. A moan escaped from Ciara and this just aroused Jonathan even more. He could feel how his mind was starting to become clouded with lust and he suddenly realised that it will take all of his strong will to keep himself composed because if he should give into his carnal urges right now, Ciara will not enjoy it. He slowly pulled away from Ciara and neither of them realised that they were so in need of oxygen. The two lovers looked into each other's eyes and they were shining brightly with all types of wonderful emotions, lust being the main emotion. Ciara took this opportunity to unbutton Jonathan's shirt and she had to admire his body once more; the young man sure knows how to take care of himself. Jonathan has placed his hands on her hips, busy fighting an inner battle with himself. It has really been a long time since he has had any type of sex, so his carnal side was really starting to become difficult to control and Ciara was not making it any easier for him, the way she traced her finger seductively and teasingly down his chest. She reached his belt and without thinking twice, she gently gripped Jonathan's erect member in her hand through his pants. A moan escaped from Jonathan and now it has become plain torture in controlling himself.

"I can see you really want this, so just take me right now my love, and do with me whatever you want to do."

Hearing Ciara's voice brought Jonathan back to his senses, somewhat, and there is no way that he is going to rush this. By taking his time in this, he will not only give Ciara the pleasure she deserves, but he too will also experience intense pleasure. He looked at her and just smiled as he shook his head from side to side.

"No my love, we are not going to rush it because I want you to experience every little sensual feeling when I start to make love to you."

Before Ciara could say anything else, Jonathan captured her lips in a very sensual kiss, tasting her and taking in her last taste as a virgin, enjoying her purity for the very last time. The two remained in the sensual kiss as Jonathan took off his shirt, and he placed his hands back on her hips after he dropped the shirt to the floor. Ciara had her hands on his chest as the two young lovers continued their kissing. Jonathan slowly moved his hands up her body and placed it on her back where her shoulder blades are situated and then he slowly directed her down onto the bed, placing her softly on the soft bed, whilst kissing her the whole time. Ciara's heart rate increased rapidly the moment her back touched the bed, knowing that it won't be long now before she becomes a woman; little does she know that Jonathan plans on showing her exactly how pleasurable foreplay can really be. He removed his hands from her back and placed them gently at the sides of her neck, the thumb of his right hand softly stroking her jaw line. Ciara's legs were dangling from the bed as she has not moved up wards yet. Her thoughts were all over the place, like when will they start, how will they start, will it really be that painful, has Jonathan remembered the condoms; she could also not ignore her intense nervousness that she was feeling at this very moment.

She was brought out of her train of thoughts when Jonathan broke the kiss. He placed his hands beside her head onto the bed and just looked at her, taking in her facial expression.

"You okay my love?"

"I am nervous, very nervous." Jonathan chuckled and then stood up straight looking down at his precious girlfriend. Ciara perched herself up on her elbows and just looked at Jonathan, her eyes roaming his entire body, constantly glancing at the big bulge in his pants.

"Will it hurt?"

"I am going to try my best to not hurt you, I will be very gently with you Ci, I promise. I will make sure tonight will be a night you will always remember, for very good reasons."

Jonathan took the box of condoms from his pocket and placed it on the bed next to Ciara. She just looked at it, becoming even more nervous. 'This is what you wanted girl; just get over it already. You can't chicken out every time so get a grip and start relaxing!' Ciara chuckled as she realised she just scolded herself, and it was really amusing.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just scolding myself my love."

Jonathan just smiled, knowing exactly what she was talking about as he also has been scolding himself a few times tonight. He leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on Ciara's forehead and then whispered to her to move up on the bed until she was resting her head on the pillows. She did as he told her to and when she was lying on the pillows, looking at Jonathan the whole time, he finally moved on to removing his pants. He removed the belt and then the pants. Ciara's eyes went wide when she just saw him standing in his boxers, his erection looking much bigger now. He was wearing light blue boxers and it did not hide the shape and form of his penis.

"Relax Ci, it is still going to be some time before you get to feel him inside of you." Ciara did not say anything and just watched as Jonathan slowly got onto the bed and made his way to Ciara, balancing himself over her and locking eyes with her. His hands were beside her head on the bed and she placed her hands on his hips, looking deep into his eyes.

"Kiss me Jonathan." He did as she told him and once again the kiss was deep and meaningful; however, Jonathan moved his lips down her neck, kissing all along her collar bone, making his way over her chest. Ciara was still in her lingerie but Jonathan does not intend to keep her in it much longer. His kisses trailed all around her chest, skipping her breasts, going down her stomach until he reached her bikini line. By now Ciara's hands has found their way into Jonathan's hair and she pulled gently on it every time his lips touched her skin.

Ciara could feel how her spine was becoming numb, sending a tingling feeling down her arms and legs, a sensual tingling feeling; her skin felt so sensitive right now, like every touch on her skin has been enhanced a thousand times. Her heart beat was beating so hard she could feel it in her stomach, and she was almost certain that Jonathan can also feel it beneath his lips. She also felt the wetness in her underwear, but luckily that is nothing new to her. She has had that many times before whenever she and Jonathan got involved in an intense make-out session. Her back arched up on its own, as a moan also escaped from her lips. Jonathan was aware of her reactions and this pleased him. He moved back up to her face and the two again locked lips, but this time a little bit more fierce. Ciara still held onto his hair but with one hand only; the other hand was placed at the back of his neck as she took hold of his skin. Jonathan cupped her left breast with his right hand and started to massage it, resulting in another moan coming from Ciara. Jonathan moved his hand from her breast, and moved it to her back, Ciara lifting her upper body. He unhooked the corset effortlessly, despite it having more clippings to unfasten than a regular bra, and instantly removed it from her body, tossing it in the air. He lowered his body onto hers, taking in the feel of their naked upper bodies pressed up against each other. It was an unexplainable feeling, just feeling her bare breasts against his chest. Jonathan deepened the kiss even more, feeling how he was again starting to lose control. All he wants to do now is rip off her panties and slam himself into her cavern, feeling her body from the inside. His boxers were also becoming wet as the pre-cum was released and Jonathan can already feel the pressure build up inside of him. He needs a release and he needs it very soon. He could feel himself become dizzy due to lack of oxygen but it will not stop him from tasting Ciara's lips, her addictive sweet taste. Their tongues were moving on their own accord, doing their very own intimate dance with each other. Both of them could feel each other's body heat radiating off of each other, and that too was a desirable feeling on its own.

LEMON

The intense kissing between the two went on for a good few minutes before they had to stop because neither of them could cope with the lack of oxygen anymore. Ciara could feel her throat feel cold due to the lack of air; Jonathan's lips' were tingling all over and he was heaving like someone who had just run a marathon. However, he took this moment of being away from Ciara's mouth to start kissing her breasts, and he did just that. Ciara's back once again arched upwards the moment Jonathan took her right nipple into his mouth and started sucking on it. He massaged her left breast and the moans from Ciara were like a soft melody to his ears. He teased the pink little bud, twirling it in his mouth, nibbling on it on a few occasions. Jonathan was so lost in the pleasure of tasting her breasts that he did not even realise how hard Ciara was really pulling on his hair. He soon proceeded to her left breast where he did the same as he did to her right breast. By now both teens were so wet from their arousal, that it was starting to become uncomfortable in their undergarments. Jonathan was so aroused by now, that if it should happen that he or Ciara should touch his erect member now, he would come immediately, and maybe that is what he needs right now otherwise he will not be able to perform later on.

'I have made up my mind; I need a release very, very soon!'

Jonathan had just decided when the exact moment will be when he is going to get his release. Feeling the pressure build up even more inside of his penis, he knows that he won't be able to take it much longer.

He stopped his kissing on Ciara's breasts and then sat up on his knees. He could see how his girlfriend was panting from the intense arousal. Without saying a word, Jonathan proceeded to remove her panties from her, slowly and sensually pulling it down. He could not help but look at her crotch, and yet again, she managed to shock him when he saw that she had indeed waxed in that area.

"All for you my love."

He did not know what to say to it, and just ended up kissing her on the lips. Jonathan also removed his boxers and now it was Ciara's turn to become overtaken by shock. He indeed was not small in the penis area and it also looks like Jonathan went through some changes in the lower department as his pubic hair was trimmed, but not cleaned totally. It still looks very manly, and Ciara just likes the look, despite having no knowledge on the matter. She did not have time to completely take in how Jonathan's penis looks as she suddenly felt him opening her legs and perching them up, bending at the knees with her feet flat on the bed.

"Just relax Ci, you are going to enjoy this."

Before she could take in his words and what it all meant, a whole new sensation took over her entire body and mind, something completely alien to her, yet it felt so good. Jonathan has started licking her lower lips, indulging in this new, inexperienced and foreign taste. As he proceeded to please the lips of her sacred lady area with his tongue, he glanced upwards and saw that Ciara's eyes were closed shut and her mouth slightly open, as she gripped the pillows tightly in her fists.

'Now is the time to release this intense pressure.'

Jonathan took hold of his erect member, and after just giving it a few strokes, he felt how the life in his legs disappeared and he was blinded by a pleasure so great, he has never felt an orgasm like this. He could not resist but to moan out loud, not caring at that moment whether Ciara was going to look down at him or not. His hand was filled with the white substance but he just could not care about the mess right now. He welcomed all the different sensations he was feeling, knowing that soon it will be all over. He stroked a few times more, emptying himself completely into his hand, feeling how his hand was being filled with the lukewarm substance; before he knew it, the pleasure attack on his body and senses were over. He made a mental note to himself to congratulate himself on being able to suck Ciara while masturbating with himself, all at the same time. That is most definitely an accomplishment any man can be proud of.

Jonathan wiped his hand clean on the sheet of the bed and then took his hand to start stroking Ciara's clit while still licking and sucking her. He started with soft circular movements and now Ciara was moaning out loudly, calling out Jonathan's name as he continued with his handy work. Jonathan was on his knees while he was giving Ciara oral sex.

Ciara did not know how to describe this feeling deep inside of her, it was unlike anything she has ever felt before. If this is what sex feels like, she can easily become addicted to it. Whoever had said that sex is painful the first time; she can feel no pain at all, not knowing that this is actually oral sex, and not the real thing. She is hardly aware of her surroundings right now. She knows that she still feels Jonathan between her legs, pleasing her, but other than that, she is kind of lost, and she hardly cares. She just wants to close her legs around Jonathan's head, feeling more of this unbelievable assault on her lady area.

Jonathan could feel how Ciara's body was starting to react to the pleasure, knowing that it won't be long before she experiences her first ever orgasm, and he really wants to feel her inner walls clench around his fingers. With his other hand, he slowly rubbed it over her entrance, taking in the incredible wetness of her. He slowly pushed his finger inwards, only a little and he could feel her walls already clench and hear Ciara gasp. He knows that he has to continue otherwise it will be more painful for her than it should be. He inserted his index finger only halfway and slowly moved it in and out of her so that Ciara can get use to the feeling. He carefully proceeded to insert his finger deeper until it was in completely. Ciara moaned again and it luckily sounded like that of a pleasurable moan, and not one out of pain. Jonathan proceeded with his licking, stroking and fingering for a few minutes more before he inserted another finger. He again took his time in getting Ciara to become use to it. She was really very tight and he knows that he will have to take extra special care when he finally penetrates her.

"Ahhh...some...Jonathan...something...ahhh...is happening...ahhhh!"

Ciara could feel something taking over her body, her legs were becoming very restless and before she could say anything else, an orgasmic scream escaped from her throat, filling the entire room with her scream of pleasures. Ciara's upper body shot up and she grabbed her hair as the feeling ripped through out her whole body, closing off her mind completely for that time.

The moment Ciara started to talk about something happening, Jonathan just knew that she is about to come, and just like that, he felt her inner walls clench tightly around his fingers. He kept stroking her clit as she shot up, not wanting to stop stimulating the little bud until the orgasm was completely over.

Ciara's whole body contracted; every muscle fibre in her body was under attack with this unknown pleasure. Her skin suddenly felt like it was on fire, a sudden rush of heat travelling throughout her body at the speed of light. She was not even aware of Jonathan still busy between her legs; and just like that, it was all over. Ciara fell back onto the pillows, her chest rising up and down, trying to take in all available oxygen. Jonathan indulged in her wetness, feeling his hands and mouth covered in her release. He finally pulled away and removed his fingers from within and then just sat on his knees, looking at how flushed his girlfriend was looking. He did not want to ruin this moment with words right now; he just wants to enjoy the atmosphere right now. Jonathan's erection has subsided after he came but he will soon be erect once again. With the view in front of him, it will be very difficult to resist in getting an erection, and that is exactly what he wants. They are getting closer and closer to finally making love; actually, that is the next step to come. It is with this thought that Jonathan could feel his penis become erect again, and very quickly also.

Ciara continued to lie in silence, her eyes closed, panting heavily. She had no idea that a person can be taken on such a journey, a journey filled with pure ecstasy, euphoria, pleasure, desire and satisfaction. Is this what she has been missing out on this entire time? How can one not want to indulge in this every day of their lives? Never in her life has she experienced something like this, and nothing will ever be able to compare to this that she has just felt. She is almost certain that if she gets exposed to this intense rush of feelings for too long, she might end up dying. There is no way her body will be able to survive this intense assault on it for a long period of time; she almost thought that she was going to die from too much pleasure earlier, but she cannot wait to go through it again. Ciara finally remembered Jonathan and finally managed to open her eyes and look at her boyfriend. He looked down at her, and he looked even sexier than before. She saw his still erect penis, not knowing that now is the second time that it is erect. He smiled at her, his usual soft and sincere smile. Jonathan saw the twinkle in her eyes, knowing that it is due to the orgasm she has just experienced.

"How was it Ci? You just had your very first clitoral orgasm."

Ciara just smiled at him, the twinkle in her eyes intensifying. Jonathan placed himself over Ciara once more, placing his hands right beside the sides of her head on the mattress. Ciara was too weak to wrap her arms around his neck and just left them resting next to her body; Jonathan did not seem to mind at all. He leaned down and the two became locked in another passion filled kiss, but this time Ciara realised that it tasted different than all the other times. She realised that she is tasting herself and although it sounds disgusting to her, she does not mind right now. Jonathan lowered himself onto Ciara once more and his hands started roaming her body, taking in her flushed skin. Her breathing has recovered and it seems like she is ready for the next step.

After another few minutes of kissing, Jonathan pulled away and then reached for the condoms. Ciara watched as he opened the foil packet and how he placed the condom on his erect penis. Jonathan went back to his previous position of leaning over Ciara and this time she wrapped her arms around his neck; she could also feel the head of his penis positioned at her entrance but there was no feelings of nervousness anywhere.

"This is it my love; are you ready?"

"Make love to me Jonathan," and that is all he needed to hear. Jonathan took two fingers and inserted them, hearing Ciara gasp. He took her lips and kissed her as he gently opened up her entrance with his two fingers, and then slowly he pushed the head of his penis into her entrance. He heard her whimper softly but he knows that he can't stop right now. He pushed in a little deeper and then pulled out again, and then pushed in again. He proceeded with this strategy as he gradually inserted his penis deeper and deeper into her cavern.

Ciara felt the pain that everyone was always talking about, and suddenly she was not sure whether she wants to go through with this; the pain was burning, it feels like she is tearing open on the inside. The sides of her entrance were burning and she could not help but release a tear or two. Jonathan just kept on kissing her, trying to distract her from focusing on the pain, knowing that it will pass soon; she just has to hang on a little longer. He was almost completely inside of her and he still continued with his gentle thrusting. He could feel how Ciara's nails dug into his skin, and she was clutching onto him out of pain, not pleasure.

Jonathan was finally completely immersed inside of Ciara, or as deep as her inner cavern allowed him. He continued with the slow and gentle thrusting, knowing that soon it will all be filled with pleasure, and he did not wait too long before he finally felt Ciara's body relax and she give out a sigh. He stopped kissing her and then looked deep into her eyes, noticing the lust and desire inside of them, and he also did not fail to notice her smile that lit up her entire face. She wrapped a leg around his waist and then whispered to him to go deeper and faster, which he gladly obliged to.

The moment the pain was over, a whole new sensation took over Ciara's body. Feeling Jonathan move inside of her felt completely different from what she felt earlier. This time she felt like she was floating, like her soul has left her body and was currently floating to a whole different dimension. She felt so much closer to Jonathan right now, and it also felt so right, like this is how they should be: only with each other. She noticed how her body fits perfectly against his, how their skin felt like one against each other. Jonathan's thrusting increased and a new wave of pleasure coursed through her entire body. The moaning just increased, from both her and from Jonathan, and then it finally dawned on her: she and Jonathan are finally making love. At that moment she could feel how her heart filled with pride, and a much deeper love than she has ever felt before. The feelings just got stronger and stronger, almost to the point where she feels like she can burst into tears, as her heart just wants to erupt from all this joyous feelings. They are finally becoming one body, one soul; two halves finally coming together to form a whole, the way God has intended it to be.

Jonathan placed soft kisses on her neck as Ciara pressed her head back into the cushions, enjoying every feeling going through her body. By now their bodies were completely pressed together and the love making continued. Jonathan has never experienced intimacy like this before and the reason being that he has never felt like this about a girl before. For the first he is placing someone else's needs, wants and desires before his own and it is sure a wonderful feeling. Hearing Ciara call out his name and feeling her clutch tightly onto his body makes him feel invincible, like he has to be the luckiest man on earth right now. Feeling Ciara from both the inside and outside is all so new to him, and he likes every moment of it. He is going to cherish this moment forever, for as long as he lives. He can feel how their life force has become one, feeling what she is feeling at this very moment.

The two remained in the missionary position for some time before Jonathan decided to try out a new position with Ciara. With one flawless movement, he was on his knees with Ciara straddling his lap. She immediately wrapped her legs around his waist, almost like her body knows what to do all on its own, and she also felt that Jonathan was now even deeper inside of her than before, and she cannot complain at all. The thrusting became even harder and deeper, and Ciara just had to continue moaning as she enjoyed every moment of it. Jonathan continued holding on tight to her as he listened to the impact of skin slamming on skin, hearing Ciara moan along with his own occasional moan every now and then, feeling how sticky their bodies were, covered with sweat. He could also feel that his second orgasm was not that far away anymore, and he really hoped that Ciara will be able to experience another orgasm before he reaches his, but if not, there is always next time. Not all the women get to experience an orgasm through intercourse.

Jonathan's orgasm came earlier than he thought and before he knew it, he was gasping against Ciara's skin as his second crisis ran through his body, this one much more intense than the first one. He felt like biting into Ciara until his orgasm has passed but instead settled for just biting his own lower lip. Ciara did not really understand what was happening at the moment, she could just feel a small warm substance on the inside of her cavern. The thrusting stopped and it finally clicked in Ciara's head that Jonathan has had an orgasm and she was glad for him. The two lovers remained in the same position for about three minutes, just feeling each other's sweat covered bodies, feeling their irregular heartbeats. Jonathan finally removed himself from Ciara and laid her down onto the bed. Before he could join her, he first removed the condom from his almost limp member, and finally took his place next to Ciara on the bed. He pulled Ciara closer to him and she rested her head on his chest, just listening to his heart beat.

LEMON OVER

Both were actually very exhausted right now, not realising their first love making session could be this draining. The two did not even get a chance to talk about the wonderful thing they had just shared because sleep overtook them both. They did not even bother to cover them with the duvet; too focused on feeling each other's naked and bare bodies.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Cindy and Tal came staggering into the house, holding onto each other to keep balanced. Both were really drunk. The two had to ask one of the bouncers to call them a cab and also to organise for someone to take Cindy's truck back home, seeing as both she and Tala were too intoxicated to drive; they could hardly put one foot in front of the other without staggering, much less drive a car. Tala managed to get rid of his built up sexual tension; he and some unknown brown haired woman did it in one of the toilets, and when Tala came out and joined Cindy once again, she could see that the old Tala has completely returned, and that is when they really started to party. They had shots with so many people, the two danced with each other, they danced with complete strangers; Cindy even managed to dance on one of the bar counters and she had quite the audience that cheered her on, but all things must come to an end.

The two friends were laughing as they staggered into the kitchen. Tala went over to the table and almost missed the chair when he sat down. Cindy just leaned against the counter, very uneasy on her feet.

"That was one epic club."

"We have to go again but this time, please refrain from doing it in a toilet cubicle again."

"Need I remind you that you and Kai also did it in a cubicle in Moscow? Worst of all is everyone could hear you in there." Cindy just smiled, remembering very well about that night. Immediate sadness overtook Cindy and before she could stop herself, the tears were flowing freely from her eyes. In his drunken state, Tala made his way over to the counter Cindy was leaning against and he took her in his arms and just held her tight against him.

"I know you miss him Cindy; there does not go a day by where I do not think of Kai. He really left a big hole, a painful hole in all of our hearts when he left us."

Cindy pulled her head away from Tala so that she can look him in the eye while still being held by him. "He sure did and for that I hate him. I hate him that I love him so much, if that even makes sense. He did not just leave a hole in my heart Tala, he destroyed my heart, and the only way it will be repaired again is if he comes back to me, and we all know that it will never happen, so my heart will forever be destroyed."

Another tear fell from Cindy's one eye and Tala softly moved his thumb over her cheek as the tear made its way down Cindy's cheek, capturing it before it made its way all the way down. The two friends looked deep into each other's eyes, not sharing another word. Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was the sadness, but whatever it was, took control of them both right then, and the two childhood friends slowly moved their heads closer to each other and before any one of them realised what is about to happen, their lips touched. Neither one pulled away; their eyes closed completely and Cindy placed her one arm around Tala's neck as the two deepened the kiss. Before they knew it, their tongues were exploring each other's mouths, taking in this new and foreign taste. Somehow their bodies were pressed up closely to each other, Cindy clearly feeling Tala's body heat being radiated throughout his clothes. Her one arm was still around his neck, the other arm gripping on tightly to his hip; Tala also had his arm around Cindy's neck and the other one around her waist. The kissing became more heated by the minute and both of them could feel how the desire was building up inside of them both.

The two childhood friends just allowed themselves to get lost in the moment, not thinking about anything else at this moment; their bodies were doing all the thinking on their own accord. The lack of air did not stop the two from kissing intensely as the two bodies just heated up more and more with passion. Tala pushed Cindy up against the counter and took hold of her butt and effortlessly lifted her onto the counter without breaking the kiss, and Cindy immediately wrapped her legs around Tala's body. Cindy's hands moved down to Tala's shirt and proceeded to lift it over his head, the only time the two broke the kiss. Tala also placed his hands on the lower part of Cindy's back, feeling her soft skin under his hands. He too lifted her shirt and removed it from her body, the intense kissing continuing and becoming even more heated than earlier.

However, the heated moment was stopped when a glass ornament in the living room broke, the sound causing the two kissing adults to pull away from each other. All four dogs ran towards the living room and started growling but there was nothing visible. Cindy remained sitting on the counter as Tala walked to the living room to inspect; it seems that the heated passionate moment has sobered up his walk as he was not staggering like he did earlier. Cindy just sat there, her fingers touching her tingling lips.

'What have I done?' Tala came back into the kitchen and when he looked at Cindy, he could see she was feeling what he was feeling at this very moment: guilt.

"Cindy, I am so sorry; I don't know what came over me."

"Don't apologise Tala; you did nothing wrong. Let's...let's just forget it okay?"

The Russian just nodded his head. "If you don't mind, I think I am going to bed Cindy, my head is spinning and I am really tired right now."

She just smiled at him and after picking up both of their shirts and handing Cindy's to her, Tala turned around and went to his room upstairs. Cindy remained sitting on the counter for a little while longer before she got off and took a broom and the dustbin to clean up the glass shards. The dogs were still uneasy so Cindy let them out so that they can run around in the back yard. She cleaned up all the broken pieces and left the back door open for the dogs and then went upstairs. She glanced at the clock hanging in the hall and saw it was just past four, and softly groaned as she too felt how her head started to spin, but luckily she soon made it to her bedroom where she can take a well deserved nap.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

There is a saying that goes 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder', and it cannot be more true. There are various types of beautiful and it all depends on the type of person. For example, a red Ferrari may be classified as super sexy or incredibly beautiful for some, but for others it may just be another normal car, and they would rather prefer a fighter jet to be true beauty. Some men say blonde haired women are some of the most beautiful women one can find, while others may like black haired women with a bronze colours skin; it all depends on the type of people. The colour black can be considered beautiful to some, while others say it is ugly because it goes along with death and depression. So the saying of 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' really is in the eye of the person looking at something.

Right now, for a young black haired man, there is nothing more beautiful he can think of other than watching his naked girlfriend sleeping peacefully next to him. Last night was the best night of his entire life; he has never known intimacy like that. Jonathan could not stop thinking about how he and Ciara finally made love. The young teen chuckled softly to himself as he kept looking at Ciara.

'I never thought that I would use that phrase 'make love', but with her it is all I want to say. Last night, man, it is unlike anything I have felt before. Now I know what it truly means when the couples in those romantic movies always talk about making love; it is so much better than regular sex, not even a hot one-night stand can compare to what I had with Ciara last night, and to be honest with myself, I am glad that I have never had that experience with anyone else before; I am sure it would have ruined last night. I swear I could feel how our souls bonded, I felt like I could explode on the inside from this overwhelming feeling of love. If I had any doubts before, I am now 200% certain that she is my soul mate. There will never be another woman who will be able to capture me like Ciara does, and I also do not want anyone else. I can hardly wait for her to wake up so that I can just look into those eyes. Ciara Hiwatari, I love you so much that it actually hurts, and I am going to do all that I can to show you how much you mean to me, God as my witness, you will know true and pure love from now, not just high school love, but actual adult love, they way God intended it to be between man and woman.'

Jonathan softly caressed Ciara's arms and then decided to go and take a shower, and hopefully by the time he is done, his true love might have woken up. He is really eager to have her awake because he misses her so much, but he just cannot bring him so far to disturb her.

He got up and took a long hot shower, his mind flooded with all of the touches and sounds of the previous night. When he finished with his shower, and went back to the bedroom, he was slightly disappointed to see that Ciara was still sleeping. Knowing that he can do nothing but be patient, he poured himself a cup of coffee that he ordered some time ago, and went to watch a little bit news. After his accident, Jonathan had decided that he should start watching the news more often so that he can see what he should appreciate what he has in his life because there are parts in the world where people are suffering so much, and yet they still manage to smile and stay positive, no matter their circumstances.

He finally found a news channel, and watched while he quietly drank his cup of coffee.

"Yesterday in Tokyo, Japan, the very first ever 80 ft robot prototype has been revealed to the public, and the response was incredible.

A team of 20 of the most respected engineers and scientists in Japan were chosen two years ago to come up with a plan on how to improve the conditions in the construction business so that there are less accidents and fatalities, seeing as the construction business is booming, not in Japan only, but also across the world. What they come up with was unlike anything anyone has ever expected and given the demonstration of yesterday, one can only assume that it will indeed help in the construction area. Dr Yukon Kamataki, the team leader, told the press yesterday that they are all very proud of their accomplishment with this robot, and that they wish to expand the uses of the robots, hopefully to the military where they can also help with various countries' defence systems." Images of the gigantic robot were shown on the television screen and Jonathan could not help but be shocked and very impressed about the robot.

"The prototype has demonstrated that it can indeed lift very heavy equipment and place them perfectly on the rising skyscrapers. The robot will be piloted by two persons which will receive intense training on how to operate the robot safely. The prototype, also named the RM – 1, is the future of many things to come as it has been built using the most advanced technology so far, technology that is still to be kept secret for a few years. The team who has designed the robot does not want to reveal too much of the technology to the public right now, for the fear of it landing in the wrong hands.

There are already orders for these incredible machinery and the first two will be delivered in about six months' time to the companies that have purchased these robots.

Unfortunately, these machines do not come cheaply as the materials and the hours spent on creating it is very consuming. The price tag on one of these are a whopping U$ 150 000 00 but the creators of this machine say that it is worth every cent seeing as how it will save construction companies a lot of money in the long run. For more on this robot, you are welcome to visit the website at – .za where all the necessary information will be about this robot.

Onto our next international story... Jonathan turned down the volume when he heard a soft groan from the bedroom. He could feel how his heart started to skip faster and how his stomach felt like it had butterflies in it. Jonathan got up and went to the bathroom and he just had to smile at how his girlfriend looked like; hair in a mess and face looking all confused. He softly walked to the bed where he sat down next to her.

"Morning my love."

Ciara said nothing and just pulled him into a tight hug.

"Thanks for last night," is all she said in a soft voice, and Jonathan could easily feel that she meant it out of her heart. The two teen lovers continued to hold each other, just listening to their heart beats and just cherishing the close contact. Ciara was still naked but she paid no attention to it. Her body is Jonathan's body from now on and she will not be shy in front of him. After a while Jonathan asked her whether she wants coffee and she said she will have some after she has taken a long bath. Jonathan was kind of surprised when Ciara asked him whether he wants to keep her company in the bathroom and he did not even hesitate in answering yes. It was almost 11 AM when Ciara finally got up from bed so that she can start freshening up for the day.

77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

Tala was still fast asleep, but Cindy was sitting on the porch outside, watching her dogs play around in the back yard as she was drinking her coffee. Cindy woke up feeling very uneasy this morning and it had nothing to do with her and Tala kissing in the early hours of the morning. Although she does not remember everything of their night out and how they got home, the kissing is something she remembers very clearly, but that is not what is making her feel so uneasy.

'Was it a dream, nightmare, or was it the real thing? No, it can't be; it had to be like the other dreams I have had but why was this one so different? I even woke up with pain this morning, and I really cannot explain it, but Kai is dead, cremated, so it just had to have been a nightmare, besides, Kai will never ever do something like that to me, never. I am almost certain that it was my guilty conscious that played games with me in my drunken state, it has to be it, but it still does not explain the pain, like it really did happen.'

Cindy was in turmoil with her thoughts of what she had experienced after she went to her room earlier that morning/late night.

FLASHBACK/DREAM

Cindy entered her room, closed the door and when she switched on the light, she got a huge fright. Kai was standing right in front of the bed, his arms crossed over his chest and he looked beyond pissed.

"K...Kai? What...what are you doing here?"

Cindy could feel the darkness and evil radiating off of him, and it was starting to make her feel a bit nauseous. Kai did not say anything and just glared at her. He uncrossed his arms and made his way over to Cindy, the woman frozen with fear and unable to move. He grabbed her by her wrists and pulled her towards him so that her body was pressed up against his. She looked into his eyes and she could swore she saw his eyes pulsing as the red glint appeared like it was going in and out, but Kai's eyes made her feel even more nauseous. He turned her around so that Cindy's back was facing the bed and then he pushed her backwards towards the bed, and with one powerful shove, she fell onto the bed.

"Hey, what is wrong with you Kai? It is me, Cindy, the mother of your child and the love of your life."

Still there was no sound from Kai, just that cold glare which really affected Cindy more than she wanted it to. Kai removed the belt from his black leather pants and threw it forcefully onto the carpeted floor. He looked down at Cindy, his facial expression looking like that of a sadistic maniac. He leaned down and pressed his hands hard onto Cindy's upper legs, making sure she is unable to move her legs. Cindy perched herself up on her elbows, feeling more and more uneasy now.

"You are hurting me Kai, please let go of me."

She tried to talk in the calmest of voices but it did not seem like it worked, because within in a blink of an eye, Kai had managed to pull her pants from her body in one effortless and flawless movement, and he did so without breaking eye contact with Cindy.

"Remove your top and your bra."

"What?"

Cindy was so confused, because of all the things Kai could say, that is all he says. He continued glaring at her, making it clear that he is not going to repeat himself. Cindy sat up and did as Kai had asked. He removed her thong and also his black leather pants. Cindy was completely naked, whereas Kai was only halfway, still having his black shirt on. Then all of a sudden Kai was on top of her, forcing her body flat onto the bed as he took both her wrists in one hand and pinned them above her head, and with his other hand he covered her mouth. He lowered his head until his mouth was situated next to her right ear where he started talking in his deep and dark voice.

"Tonight you will feel pain you slut; I am going to make sure you never try to betray me ever again. You are mine, and only mine and you better remember that, my precious Cindy."

She could feel how Kai opened up her legs with his own legs and then she was greeted with an immense burning pain between her legs. Kai has forced himself into her very forcefully and she was completely dry. Cindy screamed into his hand and tears immediately started running from her eyes as she closed her eyes tightly. The thrusting became more and more aggressive and it also became more painful and unbearable for Cindy. Kai started talking huskily into her ear in a sick and sadistic tone, and Cindy was almost certain he was smirking.

"I should actually kill you for being such a slut, but you are just too much of a good screw to just let go like that. I am going to make you feel the punishment for betraying me, you worthless woman."

Kai bit into her shoulder and went even harder and more forceful with his thrusting. Cindy tried her best to get out of this strong hold and the horrible pain, but to no avail. Her face was tear-stricken but it did not seem to bother Kai as it sounded like he was enjoying himself a lot if one can listen to his moans and grunts.

Never has Cindy felt so filthy and so broken before in her life, and this all because of the man that she has done nothing but love with her entire heart, soul, body, mind and spirit.

'This has to be a nightmare; please let this be a nightmare, please.'

Cindy could feel Kai lift his head and then again he spoke.

"Open your eyes you bitch and look at me."

Cindy did as he said and she felt how fear gripped at her at that very moment when she looked into Kai's eyes. They were glowing red and he looked like a maniac, and he was smirking at her.

"Don't worry, soon it will be all over and I hope that you will never attempt to betray me ever again with any other man, especially not Tala, otherwise I will slit your throat. Do you understand Cindy?"

All she could was to nod her head.

"Good girl." Kai again bit into her shoulder and just like he had said, Cindy could feel Kai empty himself into her. In the past it was the most wonderful thing if they made each other come, but right now, that beautiful intimacy they shared in the past, has been turned into something tainted and horrible; it has been made ugly and impure. Kai remained inside of Cindy but he finally released his tight grip on her wrists and he also removed his hand from her mouth. He balanced himself on his arms as he looked down at Cindy.

"Like I said, you are too good of a screw to just kill, but don't think I won't Cindy."

Cindy just looked at Kai, tears still running from her eyes, and it had no effect on Kai of how he had made her cry. Cindy felt like the inner parts of her cavern were on fire as it still burned and she was sure she had to have started bleeding due to all of that force. Keeping himself balanced on one arm, Kai took the other and placed it around Cindy's neck and then started squeezing. Cindy grabbed hold of his hand, trying to pry it off of her but he was just too strong. He looked into her eyes as he was strangling her, and the last thing Cindy remembered seeing was the sadistic smirk on Kai's face as he softly whispered to her 'good night my precious Cindy', and then darkness overtook her.

END OF FLASHBACK/DREAM

Cindy could not shake the incredible uneasy feeling she was feeling. It felt so real; she even has the pain to confirm it, but when she woke this morning, there was no teeth marks, no blood, nothing on her sheets. Her clothes were in the hamper, and she even had on her night dress with her panties. She can't even remember when she had removed her make-up from her face because her face was clean when she woke up, but it still does not explain the pain.

'It is really freaking me out; maybe it was just guilt eating at me, and besides, Kai would never have spoken to me like that, no matter how evil he is. But he is dead, so it just had to be one horrible nightmare. There were no bruises, not on my wrists or around my neck where he strangled me. There was nothing that could prove that it was real, nothing. But does that mean that I will never have those intimate dreams again that I have been having lately? Maybe I should just forget that horrible nightmare and just remember those wonderful dreams. It may just remove this uneasy feeling. I have to talk to Tala; that kiss was a mistake, and it should never have happened. I blame it all on the alcohol because I have never had any other feelings towards Tala other than that of a very close loved one, and it will never change. My heart belongs to Kai, and that will never change; no amount of alcohol will ever to be able to make me forget my love for Kai. Please forgive me my love for betraying you last night; it was never my intention and I am going to do all that I can to prevent it from ever happening again, and that is a promise.'

Cindy remained sitting outside until Tala finally joined her, after he took a shower to wake up properly and to feel like a human again. Cindy did not tell him about the nightmare but the two friends did talk about their kiss and they both agreed that it was a mistake because Tala has always seen Cindy as his sister, and he will never be able to see her as anything else. After they have talked it all out, the two friends decided to start on the food while they wait for Ciara's arrival.
