Kaori awoke with sweat running down her face, she had been dreaming about Mac during the night, she couldn't think of much else since the incident.
Her dreams even kept her from snowboarding like she usually would, she would be in the middle of a trick and would have a flashback of sorts. She could see white, and a shadow would slowly develop above her, she could feel gentle hands against her body and she could hear a soft voice whispering in her ear.
"Kaori... Kaori wake up... Kaori!" Kaori slowly opened her eyes, Elise was standing above her, she was frowning and tapping her foot. "you don't ever shut up girl, we're trying to sleep here! Are you ok?" Elise's frown turned into a smile when Kaori nodded.
"where's Mac?" Kaori said softly from where she was lying in her bed. Elise's smile disappeared.
"its him isn't it, all he did was stop you from hurting yourself a little and you can't stop thinking of him." Elise smiled again, but Kaori was serious.
"I'm sorry, could you leave please." Kaori was almost in tears now, she couldn't sleep and it was getting to her, if all of this kept up she wouldn't be able to enter the slope style competition this week. Elise gave Kaori a apologetic look before leaving silently.
Kaori's thoughts turned to Mac. Did he really mean what he said after the incident? She had to ask him in the morning. "ugh, will I ever get to sleep?" said the growing, not-so-energetic at the time, Japanese woman. She was turning 21 next month and was prepared for what lie ahead of her. The whole summer after the Tricky tournament she had taken English classes and could now speak fluent English, she still had her Japanese accent, but that made no difference to the other riders, especially Mac. He was just glad they could communicate, they were riding partners after all.
Kaori finally gave up on sleep and climbed out of bed. She made some coffee with the coffee machine and tried to focus on waking up instead of Mac, but she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Kaori? Are you there, it's Mac." said the handsome D.J. he had come back from a tour about a week before the incident.
Kaori's heart stood still, this was not helping her forget what happened. "y-yes, hold on..." she slowly walked up to the hotel room door. It was convenient being a pro snowboarder, the whole SSX crew got their own empty hotel to themselves, it wasn't very big mind you, but large enough for about fifty to sixty people to live in if it was two per room.
Kaori pondered upon what Mac could be at her door for this early in the morning. "Kaori, are you ok?" Mac asked Kaori as she slowly opened the door. Mac was smiling a sweet smile, it almost made Kaori smile, but she was to tired at the time being, it was about 6:00 in the morning.
"I'm fine Mac, but I think we need to talk..." She motioned for Mac to sit next to her on the loveseat near the fireplace in the living room.
"I think so too." said Mac. He was acting out of character at the moment, Kaori pondered upon noticing this.
"well, you first" Kaori insisted, there was an awkward feeling in the air, silence rested on their heads, and no one spoke for a few minutes, Mac and Kaori just stared into each other's eyes. Finally Mac made a movement, she quickly got the idea and leaned closer to him, Mac wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck gently, Kaori moaned softly. "I'm sorry about… what happened last night." Kaori stayed silent and just leaned into him, he embraced her and they drifted to sleep entwined in the gentle heat of the fireplace flame.
