Chapter Eight-They Make up (FINALLY)

April jumped off the couch just in time but unfortunately Tala didn't know what was going on so he was the one who got pounced on. Shanna didn't even take time to apologize and just took another leap at April. April screamed and dashed out of the room.

"WHERE IN THE HELL IS KAI, APRIL?" Shanna asked.

"Um, in his office? How in the hell am I supposed to know?" April asked.

"The fact that you helped him out. Come on, he had to tell you something about his whereabouts. Where in the hell is he?"

The phone rang and Shanna and April both froze in spot, surprised by it. After two rings April motioned to it. Shanna just hissed and April sighed. Shanna made her way towards the phone, keeping her eye on April the entire time. Finally she picked it up.

"Thank god, I thought you guys weren't home." Kai's excited voice came over the phone. "Did you see it? Most importantly, did you like it?"

"Where in the hell are you?" Shanna demanded.

Shanna could hear Kai swallow. "At my office."

"Great, I'll be there in twenty minutes and my dear Kai, don't even think of about leaving your office or I will hurt you."

Shanna hung up and then grabbed her coat. "I'll be back in a while. Don't wait up for me."

"Shanna...don't hurt him. He was trying to make it up to you." April pleaded.

"Yes well now I'm going to pay him back." Shanna replied and was out the door.

Kai hung up the phone and looked around his office. He saw the piles of papers on his desk and started putting them away in their folders. He needed something to do while he waited for death.

Death, that's a nice thing to call your girlfriend. The one that makes your feel whole when you're with her, the little voice in Kai's head sung. Kai lashed back with a thought of his own; If you can't call her death, what can you call her?

Shanna listened to the song on the radio as the taxi-cab drove soundly through the rain and the puddles. The song was depressing her, it was the very first song that Kai had ever danced with her to.

/flashback/

Shanna closed her eyes and listened to the soft sound of Kai breathing. Kai of course, had other ideas about what they should do and got up, off the bed and went to turn on the radio. A song blared through the room, making Shanna look up in surprise.

"What are you doing?" Shanna asked as Kai walked back to her and pulled her up, nuzzling his head in her neck.

"Wanna dance?" Kai asked, ignoring her question.

"To this?" Shanna questioned, motioning to the song that she didn't recognize.

"Hey, don't put this song down. It's April's cd and I happen to like this certain song." Kai replied as he pulled her away from the bed.

Shanna giggled as Kai began to move to the music, pulling her with him. "It kinda fits."

"What does that mean?"

"Listen," Shanna whispered.

"I don't really wanna dance with the devil, I admit that she's a little too hot for me. I don't really walk through the fire, the flames getting higher. SHE'S KILLING ME!" The singer sang out.

"I don't want to dance with the devil either but I seem to be." Shanna whispered in Kai's ear.

Kai laughed and kissed Shanna's cheek. "You're missing the fact that he says that SHE's a little too hot for him. Looks like I'm the one in trouble here."

Shanna giggled and relaxed into the beat. "Looks like you are."

/end of flashback/

"Stupid song." Shanna snapped to herself.

"What was that miss?" The driver asked.

"Nothing." Shanna replied. "Just hurry up. I have a meeting."

"Would you like something to drink?" Sherrie, Kai's annoying secretary, asked for the thirteth time.

"No thank you Sherrie. Just let my friend in the second she gets here." Kai empathizied the 'she' part but Sherrie didn't seem to get it.

"Will do." Sherrie said cheerfully and made her way out, wiggling her ass ten times more than necessary.

Kai rolled his eyes, wishing that his grandfather would let him fire her. Kai wondered why in the hell he didn't just fire her anyways. It wasn't like he listened to his grandfather any other time.

RING, the phone sounded, making Kai jump. He hurriedly picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hi, this is April. Of course, who else would phone you? I just want to tell you that Shanna should be there any second and she's steamed! You should see what she did to my poor Tala."

"Is Tala okay?" Kai asked flatly.

"He will be." April said, putting a hidden message behind that. Then she giggled. "Anyways, I was just calling to warn you. Prepare yourself."

Kai hung up. How do you prepare yourself for death?
