Chapter 3: I Won't Fall In Love
The rest of the plane ride, Kai and Rayne were silent. Ray never looked at Kai, but she could feel his eyes on her. Behind them, Rei looked back and forth from Kai to Rayne. He finally gave up trying to understand, and sat back in his seat. "Rei!" Tyson waved his hand in front of Rei's face. "What?" Rei asked him, frustrated. "Wanna see some pictures?" Tyson asked with a big smile, Rei rolled his eyes, "Sure," he answered. "Look, that's my mom cleaning some dishes, oh, and that's Grandpa, o look! There's dad, and here's us at the World Championships, and there's Tala and Me after our match, oh. that's my aunt, uncle and cousin, all of them died, except my cousin, we don't know where she is," Tyson said solemnly, Rei looked at the picture, "Tyson." Rei started, "What?" Tyson asked anxiously, "What if I were to say that." he got cut off by Tyson again, "That.?" Tyson asked a frustrated looking Rei, "That your cousin, in the picture, was in the seat ahead me," Rei told him, Tyson's shoulders dropped, "I'd say your nuts, no one thinks she's really alive," Tyson said looking away. Rayne look over the seat, "Would you guys shut up, some people are TRYING to rest," Rayne said to them, "Wait," Rei said looking at her, "Tyson, look at your picture, and then look at Rayne," he ordered. Tyson looked at the picture then looked at Rayne, "I don't see it," he said looking from the picture to Rayne. Rei rolled his eyes and took the picture from Tyson, "Are these your parents, Ray?" Rei said handing the picture to Rayne. Rayne looked at the picture with her eyes set on it; tears were obviously filling up in her eyes. She handed the picture back to Rei, "N- No, Sorry," she said, and sat back down in her seat. Kai looked at her with sincerity. She just looked out the window, avoiding his stare once more.
"The plane will be landing soon, please fasten your seat belts. The plane is now landing," the flight attendant said over the intercom. Ray quietly fastened her seat belt. She could still feel Kai's eyes upon her, and was getting a little bit annoyed. "Would you stop looking at me?" Ray asked Kai in frustration, Kai shook his head 'no'. She was a little taken aback by that gesture, and sat back in her seat.
"Unfasten your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen, we have landed," The attendant said once more over the intercom. Ray quickly got out of her seat and pushed her way out of the crowd waiting to get off the plane. "Wait! Ray!" Kai yelled running after her. "Hey, wait in line to get off the plane!" A man told him, Kai rolled his eyes and pushed on. Rayne ran even faster determined to get away. 'I won't fall in love,' she thought to herself, as tears raced down her cheeks. "RAY!" Kai ran. "Please!" He finally had caught up to her, and put his hand on her shoulder. "Please Ray," he said desperately, she held his gaze, and finally gave in. "Kai," she whispered, and cried softly. Kai wrapped his arms around her. She gave in to him, for the time being.
