'...' Thinking
[Morning]
Under the raising sun, the five couples boarded Charlotte's private jet, with Naomi in the pilot's seat and Kazuya beside her. Cecilia and Kai stood at the bottom of the stairs and faced Lily, whom is standing there with her face down. Not knowing what to say, Cecilia looked at the top of her head and started.
"Lily...." Lily looked up at her kind smile. "I'm sorry we couldn't get to know each other better, maybe some other time."
Lily nodded and smiled as well, Cecilia then pulled out a package from her bag and handed it to her, Lily took it and looked up at Cecilia questioningly.
"It's a... present for you, hope you'll like it." With that, she glanced at Kai, and then walked up the stairs to the inside of the plane, leaving Kai and Lily standing there. Lily held the bag close to her and looked up at Kai, whom just looked back at her calmly.
"Kai... I'm sorry." She said softly, he was right, she'll never be Cecilia.
"No regrets." With that, he turned and walked into the plane as well, the door closed behind him. She took a few steps back as the jet began to move forwards. Soon, the jet lifted up into mid-air, Lily looked up as well, and caught Cecilia's eyes, they're still kind. Cecilia waved at her from inside the plane and then pointed to the package, Lily blinked and looked down.
Quickly, she opened it up and in there is a business card, she picked it up and read it. Her eyes widened, Charstrien Poplenstin, the most famous fashion designer in the world today. And she's got an appointment when him next Tuesday, she gasped and looked up quickly, the plane is already out of sight.
She then looked down again and pulled out an airplane ticket, Cecilia's got everything prepared for her, then a piece of paper fell out of the ticket, she bent down and picked it up, it's Cecilia's hand writting.
Lily,
It was really unfortunate that we couldn't get to know each other better, I've heard that modeling is your dream. Well... I can't really tell you anything except to go after your dreams. I have talked to Charstrien, and told him about you, he's very interested in meeting you. The airplane leaves 8:55pm on Monday night, and you'll be flown straight to Paris to meet him. I hope you are not angry that I have decided this all by myself, I hope you'll like this meeting I set up for you. My cell phone number is 313 3067, you can reach me at any time. Good luck.
Cecilia....
[Europe]
They arrived in England safely, and decided to stay in Robert's castle since that's where Naomi had landed the jet. The ten doctors have not all arrived, but they will soon be arriving. So, with this chance, Kai and Cecilia decided to up onto a mountain, just to enjoy themselves.
[Mountain]
Up on the mountains, white snow filled the entire place, it's just like winter time. With a swift movement, Kai dropped down onto the snow and laid on his back. Cecilia looked up from the rose that she drew onto the snow, and smiled at him. Slowly, she stood up and walked over to him, softly, she laid down onto the ground as well, her head on his chest, feeling the raising and falling with every breath and he takes.
His right hand played with her long hair sotly, she smiled and picked up his left hand, playing with his fingers. Stopping on his ring finger, how she wants to see a band on that finger later on someday. She mentally sighed, and that would just simply be impossible. She then looked at her left hand, the diamond ring is still standing there, perfectly fine.
Slowly, she slipped off her ring and gently placed it in Kai's palm. Kai's right hand stopped playing with her hair and raised up the object in his hand to his face, suddenly, he sat up, and she sat up beside him as well.
He cluntched the ring tightly in his left hand and looked at her hardly, what is she indicating? He waited, waited for her to say something, and she did just that.
"Kai... let's just... let go, okay?"
"What do you think I'll say?" He threw back another question at her, she looked at him, knowing that he's getting angry. "What kind of a person do you think I am? Just because you're dying and I'll leave you?"
"You're not leaving me, I'm leaving you!" She said and looked at him, he sat there and looked at her.
"Is that so?"
She took in a deep breath and let it out, her voice raising. "Kai... there's no hope for us, after I die, you're going to find another girl anyways! Why not just give up now! The earlier, the less pain! Kai! You have to wake up, all of your promises now may just stand a while after I die, but how long will that be? One year? Two years? Five years? There's an end to everything, I might believe in your promises now! But, after I die, your promises won't mean a thing and...."
Suddenly, she stopped short when Kai's hand made contact with her face, she stopped, frozen. Slowly, she reached up a hand and touched her cheek, where it still stings, turning her head, she looked up at Kai. Tears formed in her eyes, this is the first time ever that he has slapped her. She blinked and looked into Kai's eyes, they were angry, but also full of love.
Kai looked at Cecilia shocked, he can't even believe what he had done either. Fisting his right hand tightly, he had slapped her, but her words are still in the air. They sting, her words, anger raised up within him again, he looked at her hardly.
"My promises... they don't mean a thing to you?" He asked slowly.
Cecilia lowered her hand and looked down onto her lap, not saying anything. Without a word, Kai stood up and walked away steadily, not looking back. Slowly, she looked up at his back, tears rolled down her cheek, she just closed her eyes and turned her head away. The sting on her face is nothing compared to that in her heart.
His promises, every single word lives in her heart, of course they mean much to her, but under this circumstance, what can she say? Stay with me forever? Let's get married? No... the only thing she can do right now is to make him hate her, that'll be easier on him when letting her go.....
[Night]
Cecilia stood in front of the windows as Kai talked on the phone with Robert, sitting on their bed. Ever since this afternoon, they haven't said anything to each other. She sighed and pulled her towel around her closer, she had just finished showering, her wet hair cling onto the top part of her back. She brushed back the curtain and looked outside at the snow covered mountain top, how she misses those days without any arguments and heartbreaks.
Soon, she heard the bed shift, Kai had ended his phone call. They stayed silent, not saying anything, she can feel his eyes on her back, she didn't do anything either. A drop of water touched her leg, it rolled down her leg slowly and wetted the carpet, she shivered lightly.
Kai just threw his cell phone down onto the chair beside their bed, he took in a breath and stood up. Quietly, he walked over to her, taking in her every move... if she's moving at all.
Cecilia felt warm hand brushed her hair away from her back, over her left shoulder, soon, she felt a soft kiss being placed onto her bare shoulder. She slowly dropped the curtain and turned around to face Kai, his hand dropped down from her shoulder to her waist. Kai looked at her and gently touched her left cheek, where it's still a bit red.
"I'm sorry." He said quietly, she just smiled and shook her head. She knows that he didn't mean it, anyone would have responded the same way as he did with her words. He then pulled her ring out from his pocket and slowly put it on her ring finger agan. "Don't take it off again.... please."
Leaning in, and leaning down, his forehead touched with hers, his hands on her waist. She slowly breathed in and out, she touched his jaw and replaced her hand with her lips. She softly brushed her lips across his jaw, leaving butterfly kisses there. Tilting her head, she imprinted her lips on top of his and slowly deepened the kiss.
She closed her eyes and her arms wrapped around his broad shoulders, his hold on her waist tightened, she sighed into the kiss and leaned in closer........
(A/N: Lol... okay, I'm stopping there, imagine the rest however you want it to. He he he....)
[England]
"They're not coming back tonight." Robert announced as he shut the phone and turned back to everyone.
"Okay... then, let's discuss about the sue case." Oliver said, picking up his tea cup gracefully.
"Yeah... I'd love to see that sue case." Amara said, gritting her teeth.
"Well... us nine families against Voltare alone? I don't think he'll win under any circumstance." Johnny said smugly.
"Um... true, but don't we need a hardcore proof for the court and the judge?" Ray said thoughtfully.
"Lia's the most 'believing' proof." Charlotte stated, Cecilia's all they need.
"True... but, seems like Lia doesn't want to put any charges on Voltare."
"Oh well, majority wins, everyone agrees on it except for her, she's the odd one out. Besides, even Kai agreed to it." Enrique said with a shrug of shoulders.
"I don't understand her somtimes, Voltare's no one to her, why would she want to protect him?" Tyson asked unbelievably, if he was her, he would have killed Voltare a long time ago.
"She's thinking about Kai... Voltare's his only relative left... since he isn't particularly close with his cousins and uncle."
"Let's get back on track, which court are we going to file to?" Hiura asked, getting everyone back on track.
"One of the courts here in England, we'll have advantage over here." Robert stated calmly, already going though the lists of usable courts.
"Then... what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"
