Chapter 16: Realisation
It was a Saturday morning. Kitty's eyes fluttered open as she caught sunlight shining through her window. Her tummy groaned. She hadn't had any dinner yesterday. A thought popped into her head: she had to eventually have her meals, but she didn't want to face Pietro. After what took place the other night, Kitty just wasn't in the mood. She rolled over, but could feel the dampness of her pillow, soaked from how much she had cried. No one noticed, though, of how much pain her heart suffered.
"Christmas... No." Kitty remembered that they were planning to spend their Christmas together like most couples would. ~Oh, why did I have to say that we aren't a couple. I'm, like, so stupid~ thought Kitty. But it's all over now. No more fancy candlelit dinner. No more kissing under a mistletoe. No more Pietro to come by anymore...
-Flashback-
"Kitty... I-I was thinking if you'd want to, erm... spend your Christmas with me?" Pietro said shyly. He's brave and macho façade would dissolve when it comes to his pretty and sweet Kitty. The brunette hesitated. Not that she mind, but she was trying to absorbed what Pietro had just said. It was so sudden. What she thought would never be was now a dream come true.
"... But of course if you don't want to, well, it's okay with m-..." Pietro was suddenly cut off when Kitty wrapped her arms around his neck, saying, "Oh, Pietro! I, like, thought you'd never ask... Of course I'd love to!" As Kitty said that, her warm and gentle breath tickled his neck. This caused him to realise how close they were and his face flushed a crimson red.
-End of flashback-

Pietro knew it was morning, but he hadn't had much sleep last night. He tossed and turned for what seemed like the hundredth time. It was when he decided to take a peek at his bedside digital clock, he noticed it. The "it" was an ordinary small, petite box from any jewelry shop. But its content holds a special meaning to him. There was a ring inside it, engraved on its silver body were two names: Kitty and Pietro.
The young albino couldn't take his eyes off the box. He had meant to give it to her on their shared Christmas. Her- the only one who could bring happiness into his life, was also the one who could make him cry... "Kitty," a small whisper escaped his lips.
As he stared blankly at the ceiling. He thought of the day he bought the ring. Actually, it was supposed to be rings. He had on one of them. Exactly the same, engraved with both their names. He turned his ring as the memory came flooding back...
-Flashback-
Pietro had a huge smile stretched across his face. Never had he been able to smile like this before. He had bought two identical rings with their names engraved on each. ~She'll love it~ he thought. He could now picture the scene when he shall wear the ring onto her finger, like a married couple. Then, they would be involved in a passionate kiss... ~Ahhh! If only~ But seeing Kitty blush would already bring him contentment.
-End of flashback-
He smiled at his ring, a smile just like the one in his flashback. But realisation wiped it away in mere seconds. "How could I even do this to her?" he said to himself. ~What if I had mistaken her? What if that guy kissed her without her approval? What if everything was a mistake in the first place? And my Kitty... no, she won't forgive me~ his head was now swarming with questions. ~MY Kitty~ the words felt strange to him now. She does not belong to him anymore. ~What if she's right. We were never an official couple. And it's true. I just went with the flow, assuming I am her boyfriend after we got along with each other.~
He was in a dilemma. Pietro didn't want to think of it anymore. He walked towards his stereo and turned to his favourite radio station, when the lyrics of a song filled his room...
Chorus:
Every time I kiss, I feel your lips
And every time I cry, I see you smile
And every time I close my eyes
I realise~
That every time I hold your hand in mine
The sweetest thing my heart could ever find
And I have never felt this way
Since the day?
I gave your love away...
(Everytime by A1)
Yes, it all makes sense now. ~I never gave her the chance to explain, I just let her run away...~ "Kitty, I still love you no matter how much it hurts to see you with another guy." He said as a lone tear rolled down his cheeks. He never meant to make her cry. He never meant to accuse her. He never meant not to see her again. But most importantly, he never meant for them to go their separate ways because he loved her and he will always do...
Then, a gasp was heard as he remembered something... "Christmas is tomorrow!"
