Part Five: Now to the Airport…
I never imagined the robot I only met last night to be so generous. I was at the moment putting my clothes in the big Nike sports bag Kale got me. He was placing the jewelry and other things in a side pockets of my duffel bag. All the stuff we got at the like all-purpose store. It had like everything there. It was called Target or something like that.
He was talking to me about like everything I liked and other stuff. He asked what I knew of my brothers and sisters. I kept folding the clothes and placed them in the bottom of the bag while talking. I told him of my younger brothers and my friend Gavin. He seemed curious who this person was more so than anything else.
"So what does he do?"
"I don't know he told me he is a thief."
"Thief as in a bad guy, law breaker?"
"No a good thief who steals for the good of the people."
"How does he do that?"
"He gives to the poor."
"What money?"
"Yeah and clothing, blankets and food. He doesn't steal for himself but for other people who are less fortunate."
"How do you know?"
"He told me."
"He can't lie?"
"No I can sense it in people's eyes when they are lying to me."
"Oh."
"Kale this might be totally off the subject but can you change into anybody?"
"Yes."
"Then why pick such a stiff, strict, army-like person. Pick someone who is younger and a little bit looser and cool."
"Looser like this?" He changed into a young man about sixteen, seventeen. His hair was dirty blonde spiked wildly; he had a black shirt that was cut down a just below where the heart would be. Down hanging from his neck was a cross necklace. He had a pair of black pants. His eyes where a little unmatched but they where beautiful. His chin was sharply square curved at the edges barely. He looked really cute but I wouldn't let him know.
"Yeah that's a lot better at least you don't look like my dad this way. You look like my brother or a friend."
"I looked different in the hospital remember."
"Oh yeah I remember. You looked like that when the nurse came in. You changed into that stiff army kind of guy after we left the hospital. I guess I didn't notice it." I smiled at him. He made me smile a lot today. I couldn't help but think how sweet and nice he was. Why would the government want to hurt him? He just didn't want to have the guilt of killing people. It seemed like a reasonable. I looked over at him.
He seemed to be off somewhere. I waved my hand in front of him. He started into my eyes. I too started to stare at his eyes. It was like they hypnotized me. I couldn't move a muscle. I wondered what was wrong with him. Why was he looking at me like that?
I never saw a look like that before but then again only few cluster of people even liked me. Kale, I just didn't know but when I first saw him heard his voice and saw his eyes. His voice seemed to soothe me and calm me. His appearance I was not scared of. I might have been afraid of him killing me but never was I scared of him for what he looked like. His eyes seemed so sincere and concerning. He seemed to really care for me.
I shifted uncomfortably. His stare was starting to bother me. I had been able to look away from his eyes and start to fold up the clothes and put them in the bag but this was driving me crazy. I finally spoke to him. " Hello earth to Kale. Kale could you please stop staring at me it's making me a little uncomfortable. You need to keep on putting the stuff in the bag."
"Oh excuse me, I'm sorry." He shook his head and placed the things in my bag. I listened to the radio while putting my clothes in the bag refolding them to fit in the bag. I sure did have a lot of clothes now. I probably had about twenty different shirts that I could wear alone not including the jacket, sweatshirts and overshirts I got. The last thing we placed in the bag was the laptop and it's extra battery.
Kale placed the duffelbag over his shoulder. As he got out of the car. I placed the big backpack with numerous pockets on my back as we head out locking up the car. I wondered if we would ever see it again. Then I realized it was a rental and we parked it where they picked up the rental cars.
We walked through the airport. Kale grabbed me some food while I waited in line for the international flights. He returned back with it and placed it in a pocket of the backpack. He took my hand and held it gently in his huge hand pulling off to somewhere else.
I guess I was in the wrong place. "We're not going on that kind of plane. I have a private jet. I take around the world. The poilet knows me personally. He knows about my secret."
"Oh." He led me off to where we took an escalator down to the airfield. He led me over to the jet. I ran with him the best I could. My leg was really starting to hurt. It practically didn't work and now I was trying to run with it. We made it down to jet where I saw two other people waving us over.
Kale stopped running when I begged him to slow down or let go of my hand. He must have forgotten about my leg. He apologized.
"It's alright." We walked quickly over to there. We stopped by the two people who waved us down.
"Kenna I would like to introduce you to Zee and Ro they are good friends of mine." He said pointing to each of them.
"Hello." I said shyly and softly. I hid behind Kale's arm. He seemed to smile down at me. I was very shy around people I didn't know. The girl named Ro gave me a hug.
"Kenna, I missed you. You were only eight when I left." I had probably memory loss cause I didn't remember her. I didn't really remember anyone from my house except Jared and Ken. I hugged her in return though not to worry her. The guy named Zee gave his hand out I grabbed it and shook it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Kenna." Kale placed an arm around my shoulder and hugged me sort of. He must of known I didn't feel comfortable. I went up the stairs to the entrance of the plane first. I saw a nice looking lady and a young man greet us.
"Hello and welcome friends of Kale. Please take a seat anywhere you please since it's a private party of four." I took a seat on the left row of seats. I placed my backpack down by my side and pushed it under the row. It was a vertical row. I sat facing Zee and Ro.
Ro seemed to be talking to Zee. She must have enjoyed his company. I sat back in the seat when I felt something tap me on the shoulder. I gasped, as I didn't expect it.
"Kenna you can move up and use me as a pillow so you can sleep." I moved up a little. He slipped behind me in the furthest seat and grabbed a sweatshirt and rolled it up into a ball and placed it underneath my head. I slid back and lay down across the seats. I soon grew tired and fell asleep.
Part Six: The Dream…
I soon found myself out in a misty area of land. I was in a gown fit for a princess. A beautiful silvery dress. My hair was in two braids with ribbons woven in them. I took a deep breath for some reason. I walked down the forest finding myself by a lake. I heard a beautiful song being played by a flute of some kind.
"Hello Kenna my beloved."
"Who are you?"
"Someone who has watched you over the years. Someone who loves you but respects you for your great courage and bravery. I am a magical being."
"Courage and Bravery?"
"Yes you took your father's beatings everyday since you were little because he envied you. You aren't his child. You are a special little girl."
"What kind of magical being?"
"I am a human like creature who by there eighteenth birthday will have grown wings or another ability to fly, a strong physic ability and is able to communicate with the animals."
"What is going to happen to me?"
"You'll find out in due time. You're a special child that was lost in a game."
"Why?"
"Your real father is a foolish gambler and he foolishly lost you to that monster that you think is your father."
"Then if he is that foolish why would I want to ever meet him?"
"You wouldn't I'm just your guardian angel sort of. I have always protected you and I just wanted to talk to my old friend."
"Are you Gavin?"
"Yes, how did you guess?" His white hawk Dakota flew down to his arm.
"I only have three friends. You don't sound like Kale and the man who was in the fire only talks to me while I'm awake."
"Clever child." He came closer take my hand in his and wrapping one around my waist. "Tell me is Kale taking care of you?"
"Yes very much so. He right now is letting me lean against him so I can sleep."
"Tell me is he human?"
"No, he is a synthiod."
"Oh really how interesting." He danced with me. I swayed back and forth with him. Spinning around and just plain floating around. We talked over things. How my brothers were doing, why he went in my dreams and just almost anything that came to mind but mostly Kale. Both of them had a great interest in each other. I was starting to wonder if they had met each other before. Soon he would have to leave. I rested my head on his chest.
"Will I ever meet anyone like you so kind and generous?"
"In time you'll find someone with the same kind of heart in the most unexpected places."
He raised my hands to meet his. I say it glow a bright blue color. "What is happening?"
"You're getting a protection spell. I have to go away on business soon and I can't watch over you. I will meet you in your dreams every night to check on you."
"I can't wait to see you again."
"Me either my love." He left kissing her forehead. "I will come still if you just call out my name. Please take care of yourself. I hope this Kale takes better care of you than your parents."
"He will." I blew a kiss goodbye. I soon found myself awake.
Part Seven: Kenna doesn't fell so good…
Kenna woke up and immediately went to the bathroom. She looked horribly pale when she came back. She sat back down. I rubbed her back. "Are you going to be alright?"
"I don't know I don't feel so good."
"Here play some music and close your eyes and rest. It should make you feel better." Kenna leaned back into my arms. I just wrapped the around her trying to comfort her. She soon was asleep again. I think it would be better for her to sleep during the flight than to be awake.
"Kale where did you find Kenna at?" Zee asked curiously.
"I had a mission to kill James Rowen. He was yelling at her while she was backed up against the wall and he picked her up strangling her then threw her against the wall. She had tried to move away but then passed out. James seemed to notice my presence and shot at me. I blocked the shots till I got a clear shot and shot him in the chest. He definitely wasn't innocent. Kenna got shot in the arm from the crossfire. I took her to the hospital and she wanted to stay with me so I allowed her. She said goodbye to her little brothers and mom and then left to go shopping. And here we are right now."
"You killed our dad. What was he a leader of a group of dangerous terriost?"
"As a matter fact that's what he was." Ro just shrugged.
" It figures, I didn't ever really like him anyways. He started to get mean after Kenna was born and probably got worse after I left."
Zee just patted Ro's back. She too had gone through some emotional pain, but she seemed happy enough with Zee. Kenna started to wake up again. She opened her eyes and moved around. She turned her back to Zee and Ro. Soon after Ro wanted to sleep as well. She rested on the row of seats while Zee too was her pillow using an extra blanket as a softer surface.
I held Kenna trying to comfort her. She soon woke up feeling dizzy. I wondered what was wrong with her. She waved me off. Soon she grew tired again. I told her to take a drink of water and some nausea medicine. She took it and soon she was in a peaceful sleep. I was glad she did. I had to admit that I liked holding her in my arms. It felt good for some reason.
After a couple of hours she woke up smiling. "Do you feel better Kenna?"
"Yeah I'm fine." She leaned further back into me. I just sat there letting her do what she pleased.
"Kale you're going to take care of me right?"
"Yes why do you ask?"
"A friend of mine visited my dreams. He danced with me. He noticed I was not were I was regularly. Actually when he looked for me he saw my house was set into flames. He told me he looked for my body and couldn't find it. So he met me in my dreams. He says he lives in a dream world."
"Really? Well now you have at least two people watching over you maybe more in the future."
"Tell me what is your house like?"
"It is a beautiful house. The outside has many flower gardens and exotic plants. Off to the left are the stables. In the center is a huge fountain. Off to the left is just a grassy area with flowers off to the side by the house. There are steps leading up to the house and once you get into the house there is a grand stair case to the left and a conversation pit up a little ways. The there is two hallways one going to the servant's rooms. Down the other hall you'll see the kitchen and the living room. The living room has a large arrangement of couches. You'll see the whole house when you get there."
"It sounds like you have good choice of houses."
"I hope I do. Also you'll meet all the servants. It's a whole family. A husband and wife with a young daughter about eight and another boy unrelated to them about your age."
"That sounds alright." She moved from my arms for a second and grabbed the laptop.
"Why did you get a laptop?"
"So I can know what is going on in the US."
"Oh." Kenna started typing in some address and got access to the government security department secret files and found a file on me. It showed my weapons come out and showed what technology. Kenna seemed interested in seeing all the things that I had packed in me.
"Wow you're a time bomb waiting to go off."
"Not really most of that equipment doesn't affect much and I don't like to use it." Kenna just slid back wanting to be close to something.
"Is this your first time on an airplane?"
"I think so."
Part Eight: Your eyes and your smile…
"You know your eyes are really pretty?" He looked at my eyes. I thought they were a dangerous thing to look at in a person.
"I never saw eyes like yours before. They're violet blue." I looked at my eyes they were that color and I never saw anyone else who had eyes like mine. I looked over at Zee. He was smiling when he noticed I was looking at him. His eyes where a dark blue color. I remember Ro's being a crystal light blue. Kale's eye where mismatched. One eye was midnight blue the other was a lighter blue about Zee's blue.
"Well I guess I'm the only one who has this kind of color. I never saw a person with eyes like yours."
"Are you sure?" Was that supposed to mean something or nothing? I'll take it as nothing.
I fell asleep again to find myself in the dream world making friends with mystical creatures. I made friends with a silverwinged falcon that kept on following me for some time. I soon turned around and offered him to come with me. He flew down to me and nuzzled my cheek. I named him Hayden. He led me to a small town. As he flew slowly ahead of me now as I followed.
People cheered and shouted once I entered the small town. Why were they doing that? Was I someone special here? A small child ran up to me and gave me a handful of flowers. They were magical. I never saw flowers that seemed to change color constantly. I picked up the small child that handed me the flowers. "Tell me child, why am I being cheered for?"
"You're the one who saved our country twenty years ago. You scarified your own life to save our prince of the land."
"How old was I?"
"You were only the age of twenty. You have been reborn because of your bravery and courage you had when fighting the dark lord."
"Then why did I end up on earth instead of here?"
"We can't control what the fates choose as your destiny. If you were sent to the real world then there had to be a reason that you are probably soon to find out."
"Oh." I placed him back on the ground. I held the flowers in my hand as I walked on. Hayden flew on my shoulder. I smiled. I soon found myself waking up. I told Hayden that I had to go but I would come back to the real world I couldn't spend anymore time here. He sadly flew off into the air.
"Kenna wake up." I opened my eyes. I saw Kale looking down at me shaking my shoulder slightly. He smiled down at me. "Did you have a good nap?"
"Yeah. Are we there yet?"
"Yeah we already landed." I grabbed my backpack and he grabbed the duffel bag. We got into Kale's car that was waiting for him at the airport. I got in the front seat while Ro and Zee got in the back seat. It was different here than in America. Many people where on the streets walking to where they wanted to go to. I saw a market full of people. They where buying goods that these people made.
They where excellent merchants to make such beautiful pottery and other mechantdise. Kale drove up to gates of a house. It was amazing. The house was the biggest house I ever saw. Kale stopped at the steps of his house. I got out of the front seat. His front yard was like he said a light tan building was off to the left and to right was a grassy area and there was a fountain in the front. I walked up the steps slowly.
Kale nodded for me to move on. I opened the door to see a row of people waiting there for me. I walked in silently. "Hello and welcome to Kale's home which he hopes to make yours as well."
"Nice to meet all of you."
"It is a pleasure to meet such a brave and strong girl." This was total disavow.
"Yes, I hope it is." Kale took my hand showing me around the house as he set the duffel bag and I took my backpack leaving it there. I hoped I would see it there when I got back. He showed me around the house while Zee and Ro went outside to enjoy some lunch. They hadn't ate for a long time. I had something before leaving and on the airplane.
I walked seeing a grand room. "This is my favorite room. I don't know what I could call it except like a den of some sort or even a study. I work and read books down here. If you need anything you can call me or one of my servants."
"Okay." I followed silently the house was elaborately decorated. He showed me to my room. I found it rather furnished for only knowing I was coming about two days ago. The room was probably a guestroom or some other. I looked around silently getting used to the surroundings. There were four doors in the room leading to different things. One was open. I went over to it to look inside.
Kale showed me it was a bathroom. He pointed out what was in the drawers and under the sink. It had a shower/bath, a sink and toilet. The countertop was dark blue marble and so was the floor tiles. There was a large mirror behind the sink and counter. It was etched with flowers I knew one of the flowers was a rose. I walked out of it following Kale.
I looked around the room again noticing the huge bed. "This is your bed. I got Rosa getting some new sheets and pillows for you. Also she went to market yesterday afternoon and bought you some gifts. She is the head of the servants and a well advisor of mine."
He pointed to the gifts on the side of the brick fireplace that was painted white. It wasn't huge but not too small. Big enough to heat the room sufficiently. I would take a look at the gifts later. A painting hung above the fireplace. It had a man in black in the night riding across the beach in the moonlight behind a young woman walking across the beach. She was very pretty.
"Pretty painting isn't it. I know an old man who is an excellent artist. He did that painting. He works in the market almost everyday maybe I could show his paintings to you?"
"That would be great. He is very talented." I looked around the room some more. There was by the door she entered through. The fireplace was in front of the bed and to the side was a door and next to the closed door was a small writing desk. From the desk was a door that led to a double door that led to a balcony. It had a great view of the backyard and the ocean, which was probably a fourth a mile away from here. Then the bathroom and the bed. On the other side of the bed was a door that led somewhere. Then a large mirror and then back to the door she entered through. On the middle of the floor was a white soft furry rug.
"You can stay here if you want. I'll have Rosa come up here and help you put away your stuff. Or you can join me for the rest of tour or you can have it later." I smiled and then followed him out the door.
"I'll have the tour right now."
Kale showed me around the house some more. His house was huge. I saw Ro and Zee outside on the patio. "Hey Kenna how do you like the house?"
"It's wonderful."
"Yeah I love hanging around this house. Kale even let me have my own room if I ever decided to stay here permentantly." Zee just smiled listening to the two talk.
"You two are always welcome to my home." Ro and Zee nodded. I was a little scared of Zee something about him bothered me. Kale took my hand and showed me around the many courtyards and gardens he had. He had saved the best for last. He led me around to the side of the house.
A young stable hand was working. He stood straight up and bowed in respect to Kale and me. "Who might be this beautiful lady?"
"My name is McKenna but my friends call me Kenna."
"Well, Kenna I hope you will be staying with us for a while. We don't receive many visitors here at the estate."
"I think I might stay here for a long time." Kale nodded his head to the young stable hand and I walked along with him He showed me the many horses. He showed me the last one at the end. A beautiful brown horse. "He's beautiful."
"He's yours."
"Really? Oh thank you so much." I hugged him tightly I was so happy. I almost kissed him actually I think I did. I bet I was blushing. Kale just touched where I kissed him then shook his head and waved off.
"Your Welcome."
"Well you teach me to ride?"
"Yes soon I will. Here let me help you take a ride." He had the stable boy saddle him and take him out to the grassy area a little aways from the stables. Kale got on first and he had me get in front of him. We rode around the grassy area till we decided to go down by the beach. We rode down across the beach. The beach was beautiful. It was blue aquamarine color. The waves softly crashed upon the dark sanded beach.
Kale looked down at me. "Who's smile do you have?"
"My own."
"Oh, because Ro told me she had her little sister's. I think she was right. Your smile is really pretty." I blushed slightly embarrassed that he was telling me these things. He looked down at me. I just smiled while falling against him. I was going to let it all go. Let the memories of the past and happened to me all go away. I would let Kale care about me.
"Why didn't I find you earlier?" (Kenna what you don't know is I have seen you since you were just a baby. A baby that was stolen by a greedy monster. He wanted to hurt your family and he chooses you to be a target. I was never programmed to kill him. I choose to get revenge for all the things he did to you.)
"Kale have you ever met someone named Gavin or any people like him?"
"No, but he sounds really nice." (No because he is part of me.) He heard her sigh deeply.
"I think we should head home." He nodded. They were soon home as Zee and Ro started to head into the house to watch some TV or something. Kale and I walked up to the house.
"Zee, Ro would you like to join us we were about to walk to the market with Rosa."
"Why yes that sounds great." Zee answered. He didn't seem so scary now. I wondered what spooked me before.
"Sure why not." Ro answered. She wasn't as technical as Zee but then again he was a robot. Kale seemed comfortable talking casually to humans.
Part Nine: We went to Market…
We walked down the street. Kenna met Rosa. Rosa was an midaged woman who loved children. She home teached her daughter Maria. She wanted to teach more children but couldn't afford it. I told her she could go to school to learn how to teach I would pay for her. But she refused. She said she is perfectly fine with her job as a mother for her child right now. She had Spanish blood in her. She had a heavy Spanish accent as well. But no the less she was a very good servant and advisor.
She had for sometime knew about me not really being a human. She was very kind and didn't care about my appearance but what the size of my heart was. We walked down the street. Kenna walking next to me slowly. Her leg was badly injured.
After several hours of looking around we didn't find much so we went home. Kenna got a ride on my back. Ro was walking next to Zee and Rosa was walking next to me. We walked up to the house and went inside. Kenna and Ro had dinner as the breakfast bar as Zee and me just talked with them as they ate some Barbecue chicken with corn on the cob and French fries.
Kenna had several servings. Rosa thought she had a healthy appetite. She asked me when was the last time she had a good meal. I did not know. Afterwards they had some strawberries. They were in season. Kenna ate a lot of those as well.
Kenna soon went up to her room. Rosa had one of the servants earlier put her clothes away. She stayed up there most of the night. Ro went to bed about eleven or so. She walked up the steps sleepily and went to bed. I went up stairs to check on Kenna.
I opened her door slightly. I found her on her bed. She was in a pair of boxers and a tank top. She was breathing in and out in an even pace. She was in the center of the large soft fluffy bed. Her bed looked like a dark red cloud. She smiled while dreaming I wondered what she dreamt about. She smiled.
DREAM SEQUENCE…
I was in the land I was before but in a bed in a room that looked like mine. Was I even really dreaming? I found myself in the arms of another. I turned over to face the person who was holding me. He smiled as he felt me turn over. "Kenna are you alright?"
"I think so…"
"Well how is Kale?"
"Great he's really nice and takes good care of with help from a servant named Rosa and his friends Zee and Ro, my sister." I looked at him. His unmatched eyes were dark midnight blue and light crystal blue. I looked at him smiling at me. His smile seemed familiar. Everything seemed familiar. I wondered why. I thought up of all the people in the world I knew and saw.
"Kenna who's smile do you have?"
"What?"
"Who's smile do you have?"
"You're him aren't you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb with me. I know your trying to go around in circles with me; your Kale and I know it. Well I mean your Gavin but you are the same person's this is just a dirty trick to make me fall in love with you."
"How did you guess? I would of though it would take you longer but your clever." He smirked with a misceifivious grin. He stalked up to me like a panther. He got real close to me.
"The littler things." I whispered as I pushed him away. I didn't want to be near him tonight. I soon woke up sitting up straight. Kale was on the side of my bed. "Kale!"
"What? What did you have a bad dream?"
"No, no it not that."
"What's wrong?"
"Gavin contacted me again. He's known me for a long time and he said the he is you."
"This is correct. I have known you since you were little. Gavin and I are two halves of a whole. An evil wizard placed a spell on us that turn us into two parts. When he tried to kill us you blocked him and stopped him in time but the effect on your body was horrid. You died that night. We were both devastated. We asked the fates if we could know were you went. They told us that we would find you somewhere on earth. So I went to earth till I found you and Gavin stayed at home watching over the kingdom. I found out where you born and told Gavin to keep an eye on you as you grew up. He did and even met you in your room. It took a while but I got out of these stupid agents' hands and got my revenge on your father for beating you. Here I am now."
"I don't want to be involved with you guys anymore."
"Then will you marry me or Gavin?"
"What if I refuse to your offer?"
"You simply can't refuse his or my offer. It is destined to happen what's going to happen is what gonna happen." (Not if I have anything to do with it.) Kenna thought detminded.
I simply turned my back away from him. He got close behind me and whispered in my ear. "Plus I will always be with you. No matter what you can't escape me. I will haunt you till you become mine." I jerked away from him. I felt betrayed. Now the only one who I thought cared about me actually wanted me for different reasons. I knew there had to be a catch.
He tried holding me in his arms. I uncomfortably shifted wanting to get out of his grips. I stood up and ran for the door. He blocked my way. "Kenna get back over here. You need to sleep."
"Leave me be." I ran to the other door leading out to the balcony. He blocked my way again.
"Let me go." He smirked as he grabbed me in his arms. He was trying to overpower me. I wouldn't let him. I turned away from him at every turn. I walked away from him at every turn he got.
"Kenna please stop this foolishness, you are being so stubborn."
"NO!!" I screamed and started to cry. I ran over to the bed curled into a futile position. Kale wrapped his arms around me. I gave a grunt of disgust.
"Just tell me what's wrong Kenna?"
"Humpt." I soon fell asleep again. Kale rubbed my back trying to get me to like him. Ha, wasn't going to happen now. I tried to keep my eyes open but soon surrendered to sleep.
I woke up finding myself out of Kale's arms. He must of left to do something. I walked out of the room to find myself in a castle like building. I ran back into the room and found myself stuck here. I knew that Gavin brought me here. I had to get away from his sticky paws before he found that I woke up or realized I was even here to begin with.
I opened a door to the left of the other door. I found myself in another bedroom and by the way it looked someone lived in here as well. A blue shirt on the bed told me that it wasn't fully dressed either. I saw the man I dreaded seeing.
"I thought I heard you wake up Kenna." He folded his arms across his chest. I couldn't scream the scream that wanted to get out much less talk. I found the strength in me to talk.
"Why am I here?" He had a teasing smirk on his face as he stood there looking at me.
"Because I brought you here. I'm gonna make you my queen." He stalked up to me. It was like a panther after his prey. He smiled to himself as I found myself unable to move. As he started to get closer I found that I could move again but was lucked out by bad aim. I hit the doorframe. I was stuck. Of all times to have bad aim.
"Don't you like it here Kenna? Don't you want to be here with me for all eternity?" He said in a whisper as he came close to my ear.
"I well umm…" I was about to turn to the side and run but he placed his arm on the doorframe blocking my exit. How could I think with him being so close, so very, very close? I tried to get my ability to speak to come back. A fire was lighted in his eyes. I tried to swallow the lump in my throat. I seemed to be able to breathe again but it didn't help my thinking skills.
"Well?" I closed my eyes in an attempt to think better. I felt his breath right on my neck. It sent shivers up my spine. I found myself inches away from Gavin. He leaned in and kissed me softly. I gasped in surprise but he used his one of his arms to sneak around my waist and pull me closer. I could feel him against me.
The last thing I expected my body to do was to kiss him back. Stay still was acceptable, pushing him away would be great, and slapping him across the face would be excellent right now. I felt him hold me tight continuing the kiss. As we parted he looked down at me. I felt around his neck it was a cold hard surface. "Kenna I'm sorry for what happened tonight. I just didn't want to lose you. I need you. Please don't leave me alone."
"Kale did you just kiss me?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I tried not to but it was uncontrollable. But you didn't seem to mind at the time." I rested against him. I swore that Gavin was right here with me. Kale smiled as he held me closely.
"I'm sure I have met you before. But what matters is right now."
