DISCLAIMER: I do not own Beyblade
Ghost5: I'm in a lovey dovey mood
WITH THIS CHAIN I THEE WED THE SEQUELCHAPTER FIFTEEN: DO YOU LOVE HIM?
"Ever since you gave me this ring I have been totally in love with you, I was afraid because you were my best friend, I have loved you for so long Kai now I'm afraid it's too late" she explained
"Do you care about me Faith?" Kai asked softly
"That's a stupid question, you know I do, I care about you and a lot of other men too," she answered
Kai's eyes hardened.
"Who? Who do you care about?" he asked
"Well Ethan for one thing" she answered
"Then there's Uncle Stanley, Kane, your ex-team mates," she finished
"Kane?" Kai questioned
"My fiancé" she replied
Kai felt a stab of jealousy; he wanted to kill the guy.
"Faith there's caring, then there's caring" Kai lay a finger against her lips then stroked her cheek.
"There's a saying my housekeeper used to say; love your man like a little boy and he will grow into a man," he added
"I didn't know you were gay" Faith said confused
"You know I'm not" he answered annoyed
"Then why did your house keeper give you advice about how to love men?" Faith asked
Kai sighed shaking his head.
"Tell me that you care about me" Kai said passionately
"This sounds like a seduction routine" she said suspiciously
"Then I must be out of practise if I can't even entice my own best friend" he answered placing his hands on her shoulders and pulling her closer and kissing her again.
"Seems to be working fine to me," she said catching her breath back looking at him with glazed eyes.
Both of them were just as dazed.
"Why hadn't I ever kissed her like this before?" Kai thought
To him the kiss that he had given her was so right, he had never kissed Selene like that, and there was no way he had ever felt like that before.
Faith pushed him away suddenly gaining control of her senses.
"I'm not promiscuous Kai, I'm getting married very soon and I intend to stay faithful to Kane, you had your chance and I guess you're just ten years too late" she said seriously
"Your brain may say that you're going to be, but what about that heart of yours?" Kai asked
"I knew you would brag, don't even think about giving me all that romantic trash, for those precious years we did nothing but play fight, you always were a selfish brat Kai and you always will be," she yelled before walking away.
"Tell me that you love me!" Kai demanded
"What?" she asked stopping abruptly in the doorway.
"Tell me that you love me, give me the happiness I deserve, I have had nothing but misery for the past ten years; you took my happiness the day you left, you always said you would never leave Japan that you would never stop being my best friend, you broke your promise" Kai said again
Faith looked Kai in the eyes, he wasn't joking in fact he was deadly serious, had Selene kept her promise? Obviously not Kai looked so miserable, and she hated it when he looked like that; his gaze penetrated her skin and was burning into her soul.
"I've loved you for far too long, God Dammit why can't I be angry with you" she said softly
She turned her back but didn't have time to move; Kai placed his hands on her shoulders, she leant back pressing herself into Kai's chest letting go of the pain she had kept inside.
"I want you Faith, I need you; and whatever takes I'll get you" Kai murmured
Faith could feel every tense muscle in Kai's body, he was definitely telling the truth; every nerve ending in her body began to sizzle under his fingertips, she shook free before she lost control.
"Kai let's just leave our friendship as it is" Faith warned then walked away
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kai decided to show Faith how well he could cook by making her breakfast.
"What's this for?" she croaked sleepily
"For you" Kai answered pulling a chair out for her
Faith sat down and began to eat, Kai had improved his cooking skills a lot; she smiled when she was finished.
"You're right you're not a bad cook," she agreed
She went for a shower and got ready to go up to the camp.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Good morning sis" Ethan greeted
"Good morning Kai" he added cheerfully
"Good morning sweetheart!" another voice called
Faith looked up to see Kane walking over, Faith's eyes widened in surprise.
"Thought I'd come up and see you," he said warmly giving her a kiss
"Oh it's you," he added looking at Kai brightly
"Morning dad" Faith greeted
"Dad" Kieran said
"Is that your Faith?" Kane asked
Kai placed his hands on little Faith's shoulders.
"Yes my little girl" he replied
"Indeed very pretty" Kane agreed
"And this as you probably know is my Faith" Kane said proudly putting his arms round her waist
Kai wanted to kill him, his hands began to curl; his anger began well up.
"You right she's pretty too" Kai agreed
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"This complicates things," Little Faith mumbled
"What do we do?" Kieran asked worriedly
"We'll think of something" Faith reassured
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Little Faith saw Kane doing push ups.
"Hey little one what are you up to" he asked
"Nothing really, just wondering" Faith replied
"About what?" Kane asked curiously
"About you and Faith" she replied
"She's perfect isn't she, we've been friends for a long time" Kane explained
"I don't think she's right for a person like you" Faith answered
"Really? You show me a prettier and nicer girl and perhaps I won't marry my Faith" Kane said grinning
"Rachel" Faith suggested
"You want me to be with Rachel, what if she's already got a boyfriend? She won't want me," Kane answered
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
If Kane wasn't going to listen to her then there was only one alternative, they were going to have to stop the wedding; Faith was near enough desperate to try anything, that was what she and Kieran were going to do.
The morning passed pleasantly and soon it was time for Faith to go back to her cottage.
"Why don't I come and stay with you? We could get the last preparations discussed" Kane asked
"I think it would be great," Faith agreed
"I'm sure Rachel and Ethan can keep the kids entertained," she added
"Perhaps I can join you, give you a second opinion" Kai interrupted
"That's a great idea" Kane exclaimed
Faith's eyes narrowed in anger, for some sadistic reason Kai thought she looked smoulderingly seductive when she was angry.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Who's up for a drink?" Faith asked heading for the kitchen.
She needed some space to breathe, Kai knew she was using it as an excuse to fume in private; he joined her after a few seconds leaving Kane to a phone call he had received.
She had her back to him, setting glasses on the counter and filling them with lemonade; silently he moved up behind her and kissed her neck, Faith jumped and quickly regained her composure Kai met her outraged gaze.
"You look a little red in the face" he commented looking at her reddened cheeks
"Don't you ever do tha-,"
Kai quickly covered her mouth with his own, her startled gasp held somewhere between them; her lips were soft and moist, she tasted delicious; Kai seduced her mouth reclaiming her and urging her closer, it had felt like an eternity since he had last kissed her.
Instinct alone saved him, he ducked and caught her balled up fist just inches away from his face; Kai smirked triumphantly as he stared at the fury in her eyes.
"If you hit me, how will you explain it to prince charming?" he asked his tone laced with wicked delight
"I'll find a way you son of a -,"
"Ssh. Do you want to know what we're doing?" Kai whispered cutting her sentence
"We're not doing anything," she answered darkly
Kai chuckled.
"You don't have to do anything, I get up in the morning and I want you, I go to bed at night and I want you, I see you standing at the counter pouring lemonade and I positively throb"
Faith sighed in despair.
"What are you really doing here Kai?" she asked
"I have to see you" he replied
"Well you've seen me, now go," she answered
"And leave you here with the groom to be? No way" Kai spat
"You're forgetting I'm supposed to be marrying him," Faith said angrily
"Okay dammit! Why don't you Marry Me?" he said harshly his eyes suddenly widened in fright.
"Now's not the time for joking Kai" she snapped
"I…" Kai shut his mouth. He surprised himself as much as he had Faith with that sudden command.
"I'm not joking, I want to marry you," he said seriously
"Why?" Faith asked eyeing him warily
"You know this is the part where you fall into my arms, showing your devotion and happiness and shout a resounding yes!" Kai explained
"Providing the answer is yes," she replied
Kai felt his heart lurch; he raised an eyebrow.
"Don't toy with me Faith," he said darkly
Faith secretly admitted that Kai looked very sexy when he was angry, she smirked at him.
"I'm already taken Kai, I'm going to marry Kane and I'm going to be happy," she said confidently walking back into the living room.
Damn that stubborn wench, didn't she realise she was putting him through sheer hell? Kai was running out of ideas and he was getting desperate; the thought of Faith with Kane infuriated him, she wasn't going to marry him.
