CHAPTER NINE: I'M A ONE WOMAN MAN

"Hey I heard about your attack are you okay?" Rhapsody asked when they reached Kai's house.

"I'll live though right now it doesn't feel like that." Faith replied

"Look give the girl some air she's suffered enough." Said Max

"Oh Kai there's a girl called Anna here to see you." Tyson said coming down the stairs.

"Where is she?" he asked annoyed

"In the library, she wants to see you." Ray replied

Kai looked at Faith.

"I'm kinda hungry anyway I'm sure you can handle it." She smiled

Ray took her to the dinning room where they had breakfast.

*** Meanwhile ***

"Good morning I was wondering where you went last night?" Anna asked

"Don't even think you can come here and act as if you're my wife because it just so happens I'm pretending to be married to someone." Kai said

"In that case you get the best of both worlds." Anna said smiling devilishly

"I'm a one woman man." Kai said

"Then if you're calling our wedding off at least let us share one last kiss goodbye." She said walking towards him.

She put her hands on his shoulders.

"I don't think so." He said taking them off

Faith got up and went to see what was keeping Kai; she could hear a girl's voice.

"Don't say you can't remember us sharing our first kiss?" she asked

"How can I forget I had to battle you for it." Kai replied smirking at the memory

"And for someone who is well known for his bad temper and aggressive nature, I always thought you were a great kisser." Anna said

Faith stood outside the door listening to every heartbreaking word.

"There was also a time when you liked girls who were strong like you." Anna said

"True but I didn't want a dominatrix for a girlfriend." Kai replied

"Then why like a girl like that when you can have a girl like me." Anna said

"You said you weren't going to marry her Kai, you told me you hated her." Faith thought

"I guess, but I would still be doing what my grandfather wants." Kai said

Kai was finding it hard to stop her advances.

"It's because of you distracting me that got that girl in danger." Kai said backing away

"There was once a time when she would have been below your contempt." Anna said

Tears began to run down Faith's cheeks; before could do anything Anna kissed him. Kai accidentally fell against the door handle opening the door.

"Oh you must be Faith his pretend wife, I'm Anna." She said politely looking at Faith.

Kai stood on the spot unable to speak.

"I'm pleased to meet you at last." She smiled then turned and walked away.

"Faith this isn't how it looks." Kai said

"You lying son of a bitch, trust me I'm never getting married to her were your words last night, just before you were about to kiss me no less." Faith replied as she grabbed her bag.

"Since you're finding it hard to decide between Anna and me; let me make your decision easier." She said storming out the house.

"But it's not the same I- -." he stuttered

"What's happened Kai?" Max asked

"Nothing just a petty argument." He replied

"Faith caught them kissing." Connie said

"Kai you lucky guy you; Enrique's gonna be dead jealous." Tyson joked

"That's two-timing Kai that isn't fair." Ray said

"You've just said goodbye to the only girl who liked you for you and not your fortune." Max said sadly

"Give her some time, it was just a kiss right? She's probably still upset about the things Tala said to her last night." Rhapsody said

Kai went back into the library and slammed the door behind him.

The others went back to finish breakfast; Kai sat in a chair with his journal in his lap and began to write.

*** Meanwhile ***

Faith was sat at home on her couch writing in her journal.

Kai closed his eyes and remembered the intoxicating smell of her hair; he opened his eyes and saw her leaning against the wall with her arms crossed smiling at him.

He sat up and leaned closer, the vision disappeared.

"Kai you okay?" Ray asked

"She's gone Ray why must this happen to me? I met the most amazing person and I loose her because of my foolishness and stupidity." Kai said

"You really did like her didn't you?" Ray asked

"Yeh" Kai replied

Ray left him alone to write in his journal; Kai looked up after Ray left.

"I love her Ray and I can't tell her." Kai said

"I never thought her and I would end up being friends during the experiment, she's understanding, kind and caring. we had a similar personality. I stayed with her and watched her sleep, and do you know? I pictured us together and everything seemed perfect." Kai thought as he wrote.
