Chapter Five-Shanna15

Shanna sat in her room, staring blankly up at the ceiling, her thoughts flowing rapidly without order. Nothing seemed to make sense, nothing seemed to be spoken in english. Nothing seemed to attract her attention. Nothing that is except Kai.

Shanna looked at the pictures on her door, saw his beautiful eyes looking right at her as his ran a hand through his sexy blue hair. She shifted her eyes to the next picture and saw Kai in a bathing suit, jogging slowly towards the camerawoman, her. The picture below that was a picture April had tooken for her, a picture of Shanna and Kai at their year anniversary dinner just a month and a half ago. Kai and her were standing on the balcony of the restaurant, his strong arms wrapped securely around her waist as they both looking deeply into each other eyes. And then the last one, was her favourite, a picture of Kai just before he woke up one morning, still sleeping in his bed, the blanket thrown carelessly away, leaving him exposed.

Shanna could feel tears forming in her eyes and then stood up and raced for the door, ripping the pictures off the door and then shreding them into small tiny pieces. Tears began to pour from her eyes and she fell against the door, sinking to the floor.

How could he? How could he just walk out of her life like this? What did she do that was so bad that he wouldn't want to be around her anymore? Why? What?

A soft knock came on the door, and an equally soft comment from April. But Shanna didn't reply, she just sat there trying to stop her crying. Shanna whipped mindlessly at her tears, trying to recollect herself before she answered April.

"Shanna, I know you're in there." April called through the door. "I just want you to know that supper's done and that you should come out. It's not healthy to stay in there all by yourself."

Just then the private phone line that sat on Shanna's bedside table rang and Shanna slowly made her way over to it and picked it up.

"Hello?" She said, wondering who would phone her.

"Shanna?"

Shanna dropped the phone and backed away from it, her tears starting afresh.

Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ Æ§Æ

Kai groaned and hung up again. There was no way she was going to talk to him. Not after she just dropped the phone like that and then started to cry. What in the hell had he done? How was he supposed to make it up to her when he was three billion kilometres away from her?

Kai sighed and pulled at his tie again. God these things were uncomfortable, no wonder you always see guys pulling at them. They're trying to get them the hell off.

"Lets go." Grandfather's assistant said as she approached Kai.

Kai took one look at the skinny assistant and rolled his eyes. If his grandfather thought that giving him an attractive, Kai was willing to say that she was attractive, assistant to work with was going to stop him from thinking about Shanna, he was so wrong.

The girl flicked her brown hair behind her head again. "Master Hiwatari?" For a second her behavior almost reminded her of April. Kai shook his head and got up, following her to the meeting room.

"Ah, now that you're here, we can get started." The spokesperson for some small company said.

"Indeed." Kai said and sat down at the head of the table. "Please refresh my memory and tell me who you are again."

The man blushed slightly and pulled at his collar. "I'm Johnathon Riley, I'm the spokesperson for Hiwatari Computer Supplies."

"I see." Kai said and leaned back against the chair, causing it to lean backwards itself and propell his feet off the ground. Kai put his hands behind his head and nodded to 'Johnathon'. "Well then, please begin Johnathon."

"Thank you Mr. Hiwatari." Johnathon said and started his speech on the numbers for his company. Kai nodded in the odd spot, not really listening. Until...

"And of course, we'd have to come up with a name for the new computer model."

"What was that?" Kai asked, bringing his chair down.

"We invented a new kind of computer." Johnation said. "As you can see on this chart."

"And you need a name?"

"Yes."

"Well then, I think we're in buisness. Tell me, what do you think of the name 'Shanna'?"

"That's brillant! We could call her 'Shanna101'."

"No, we're going to call her 'Shanna15'. Any arguements?" Kai asked as he stood up.

"No of course not Mr. Hiwatari."

"Good, I'll talk to you all later maybe. Have a great day and I hope that you're quite successful with your computer launching deal." Kai said and turned to walk out.

"But we still haven't discussed the campaign."

Kai didn't even turn around and just raised his hand in acknowledgement. "I trust you to make the right decision. Just fax the final ideas to my grandfather's office. I promise I'll look over them."

"But-"

"No buts about it Johnathon." Kai said and walked away, his hair shifting from side to side in his strides and his smile pasted on his face. Maybe it wouldn't be as hard as he thought to bring Shanna back to his side. After all, he still had four new products to name.
