Kai Has A Girlfriend IV

Chapter Four
Kai got home late that night, hanging his coat up on the hook right inside of his front door and slipping off his best shoes, sighing as his feet were given room to stretch again.
Kai made his way to the living room, flopping carelessly down on the couch, not in the mood for bed yet, hell it was only nine o'clock. Kai picked up the remote and flicked through the channels. He found a good show but then the commercials came on, the commercials Kai had come up with as an apoligy to Shanna during one of their many fights.
Kai quickly turned off the television and went to the bathroom, splashing water on his face and then looking at his reflection in the mirror. He didn't like what he saw and disgustedly turned around and stormed off to his room.
No wonder Shanna had left him, Kai had lost all of his appeal. He was no longer the sexy man she had fallen in love with, now he was just a somebody that was quickly turning into a nobody. Kai would have to remember to call April tomorrow so that she could advise him on a place to go and get his hair done and such. Maybe then he'd feel better about himself.
Kai doubted it of course, it would take a miracle to get Kai back on his feet again. If he didn't think about Shanna, she would appear to him. His imagination, his mind and his heart, weren't about to let him just forget about her obviously.
Kai flopped down on his bed and stared up at the ceiling, the same ceiling that he had been staring up at for a week now, wondering what Shanna was doing at this very moment. Kai stood up and took off his clothes until he was in just his boxers. Then he turned off the light and climbed into bed, hoping that tomorrow would be a better day.

Shanna sat on her porch swing, as was her habit, staring off into the velvet sky, wondering what Kai was doing right now. He was probably still in that stupid restaurant, talking to that stupid blonde chick. Shanna sighed, now she was sure that she was just being jealous.
Kai wasn't interested in her anymore, Shanna was sure of that now. He hadn't returned the call because he didn't want her back, he had already gotten on with his life and here Shanna was, freting over him. It wasn't fair, how come Kai could get back in the 'game' and Shanna was stuck here, just watching and wishing that every girl he went out with was her.
Well no more, tomorrow she would go to that club that Rei and Bryan were always talking about and she would find herself a man, even if it took her all night. There had to be someone out there that would like her. And if there wasn't, well then so be, she would sulk in her room for the rest of her life. But atleast she wouldn't sit around thinking about Kai all day. No, that was just a waste of time. There was nothing that she could do to bring him back to her.
Shanna looked up and saw the first star of the night and smiled, making a silent wish that she would forget about Kai and get on with her life. Shanna stood up and turned to go inside and then looked back up at the star and took her wish back. Wishing for something else this time.
Shanna entered her room and changed into her favourite silk pjamies and then slid under the cool sheets of her bed and looked out the window, seeing her star from her bed. Shanna smiled and hoped that her wish came true, even if it was a selfish wish.
Shanna didn't know why she had wished it but Shanna knew that it was the right wish for her. Shanna fell asleep, dreaming of what she had wished for, of Kai coming back to her, maybe not today or for a few years, but she dreamt of Kai coming back to her eventually.
The star shone a little bit brighter and it seemed to wink through Shanna's bedroom window.

Kai and Rei walked to the store together without saying anything, for the first five seconds. Then Kai thought of something that he wanted to ask and so he turned to Rei and said it softly, not wanting other people to hear it.
"Huh?" Rei asked, leaning in. "I didn't hear you."
Kai rolled his eyes. "Do you ever think you'll break up with Lolli?"
"Yes." Rei said. "All the time, it's a normal relationship fear. Why?" Rei looked at Kai. "I don't quite follow this."
"You don't have to." Kai told Rei easily. "Just work with me." Kai decided to go on a hunch. "Do you like my sister by any chance?"
Rei turned a bright red. "Maybe. Why?"
Kai shrugged. "I don't know. Does it matter?"
"No, I guess not." Rei said and then turned to look in front of them. "Didn't you like your sister before you found out that she was your sister?"
"No." Kai replied. "We were already close before we found that out and so, why would I like her that way. Besides, back then I had Shanna still-" Kai paused and shook his head. "No, I'm not going to get into that again. I don't want to talk about Shanna anymore, she's not with me so why should I talk about her?"
Rei shrugged. "Maybe you should talk about her, get her off your chest so that you can go on with your life." Kai looked at Rei strangely and Rei shrugged. "What? It was just a suggestion. You don't have to take it to heart if you don't want to."
Kai sighed. "I guess you're right. I'm just sort of, well, uncomfortable with the whole situation. I don't know how to deal with it. Which reminds me of another thing I wanted to ask you." Kai tried to think of a way to say this so that it wasn't completely out of character but he couldn't think of one so he just blurted it out. "Do you think that you and Bryan could take me to that club you always brag about sometime, you know so that I can get back into the field without having to worry about any commitions or anything like that. I think that may be my problem. You know, I just got out of a relationship and now I'm supposed to be looking for a new one."
Rei nodded. "That sounds about right. Sure, me and Bryan were going to go up there on Saturday, err tomorrow, anyways. I'm sure he'll be fine with taking you up there too. It won't hurt to try. Just one thing, you can't ever tell Lolli or Courtenay what goes on up there or we'd be dead meat."
Kai laughed. "So you still haven't gotten around to bringing Lolli with ya, have you?'
Rei shook his head. "No way, that's our place to relax from them, I'm not going to ruin it. Sometimes you just got to get away from your girl. You understand."
Kai agreed. "I know how it feels but it sure as hell feels just as good when you come home to her."
Rei smiled as he put an image to that thought. "It sure does."
"Come on, lets hurry or we'll be late for supper and April's cooking."
Rei smiled and folled Kai on their dash to the store.

April walked around the house in nothing but her bikini. Rei walked in and almost dropped the groceries when he saw her. April giggled and took them from him before he actually did drop them.
"Hey April." Kai said, his eyebrow up but not asking anything about her outfit. April rolled her eyes.
"It gets hot when your cooking and I couldn't find my shorts so this was the next best thing." April pretended to fan herself. "You didn't want me to over-heat and die, did you?"
Kai rolled his eyes. "Drama queen."
April stuck her tongue out at him and started to go through the grocery bags. "Did you get everything on my list?"
"Yep." Rei said proudly. "Though some of it was hard to find, we got it all and we got back here in record time." Rei pulled a stool to the counter and began to unpack the stuff, his familiarity with the kitchen showing as he put everything in the right spot.
April helped Rei do so, leaving out the stuff that she needed to finish the meal. "Thanks a lot Rei." April said and gave him a quick squeeze on the shoulder for a thank you. "Now go and do something while I cook otherwise I'll be tripping all over you."
Rei smiled and went to the living room to watch tv, listening to the sound of April singing more than the tv until Lolli walked in and then Rei paid all of his attention to her of course, in the way of kisses and such but that's not the point.
