Two hearts, one love.
Chapter 9: So incredibly stupid
Akina/Crystal's POV
As the limousine pulled up at Kai's driveway, I looked at the house in awe.
Gee, it's just as big as mine I thought. The door was opened by the chauffer and I stepped out after my father.
"Welcome to my home" Mr. Hiwatari said.
"You have a magnificent house Kevin" my father said in return.
"Kai" Mr. Hiwatari called out.
"Yes father" Kai said as he came over.
"Why don't you show Hiragazaki Akina around the house?" his father suggested to him.
"Of course father" he answered, took my hand once more and led me away.
After a quick tour of the house, we stopped at the lounge room.
"Can I see your room?" I asked curiously.
"Why would you want to see my room?" he responded suspiciously.
"Because I want to" I replied simply.
"You want a lot of things" he grumbled before leading me up the spiraling staircase.
We stopped in front of an oak paneled door before going in. I glanced around me curiously, taking in the details. His room was impeccably neat considering that he was a guy and his walls were painted royal blue. His desk stood in one corner with a computer, printer and scanner sitting on it and a bookcase lined the opposite wall. A king-sized bed stood in the centre of the room, covered with black sheets and I flopped down onto it.
"Do you mind" Kai said pointedly.
"Not at all" I said cheekily. "God you're heavy' I remarked when he sat down on the bed and it sagged.
"Are you implying that I'm fat?" he questioned.
""You sound like a girl asking that question." I said giggling.
"Well what do you want to do now?" he asked after a few moments of silence.
"Can we go outside?" I asked, looking out the window.
"Fine" Kai agreed before we went out of his room.
As I pushed the back door open, a cold breeze brushed past and I broke out in goosebumps. I walked around the immense garden which was lit up with a soft yellow glow from the garden lights strategically placed. Wrapping my arms around myself to ward off the cold, I sat in a deck chair which faced the pool and watched the light rays bounce across the water.
Kai's POV
"Are you cold?" I asked Akina.
"No" she replied.
For the first time that night, I looked at what she was wearing. A black sleeveless dress fell down just below her knees and ended in folded layers. Her hair was held up in a stylish twist with a silver dragon pin studded with diamonds while a few strands of hair framed her face I sighed. "Don't bullshit me Akina. You're shivering" I finally said. Leaning over, I draped my jacket over her shoulders.
"I can take care of myself Kai-kun" she said disdainfully. "But nice jacket" "So has your father talked to you about Melissa yet?" she asked after a few minutes.
"No." I answered.
"You know her father's one of my father's accountants. And my father has a lot of accountants" she trailed off.
"What, you think you can get her father fired or something?" I asked inquisitively.
"Well perhaps not fired, just put in her place for a little while." Akina responded. "Anyway, did you see what she was wearing tonight? And she had the nerve to accuse of being a whore!"
Since I never really pay much attention to what other people are wearing I had to think back. "Now that I think about it, Melissa was dressed like a whore." I said as an image of Melissa dressed in a short red glittery dress with a split up to her thigh came to mind.
"So how come your mother didn't come tonight?" I asked.
Silence. I looked over at Akina. Weird.
"Akina?" I questioned.
"My mother died when I was twelve" she finally said quietly after a few minutes.
"I'm sorry" I replied automatically. Then after a hesitated second I said "I'd die if my mother died" Akina was looking down at her hands when her teeth suddenly began to chatter. "Maybe we should go in" I suggested.
Akina stood and I was about to as well but instead of walking towards the door she came and sat on my lap. Not again I thought as she leaned her head against my chest.
"We'll go inside in a little while" she mumbled sleepily.
After who knows how long, I looked down to see Akina sleeping soundly, her face buried in my shirt. Sighing, I stood up carefully, knowing that if she stayed out any longer, she'd probably catch a cold. Leaning over, I cautiously lifted her up into my arms and headed towards the door. Balancing her weight, I managed to get the door open with my foot and stepped into the warmth of the house. Now where to put her? I thought stopping for a moment.
"Kai, is that you?" mum's voice called out.
"Yeah" I replied as she came around the corner. I saw her eyes light up with amusement when she spotted my jacket around Akina's shoulders and her in my arms.
"Well, what have you two been up to?" she asked in an undertone so as not to wake her up.
"We were in the garden and Akina fell asleep" I said shortly.
"You're both on first name basis now?" she enquired.
"Mum" I said impatiently, shifting my feet around.
"Okay, okay. Why don't you put her in your room for the time being? It is nearly 3.00am now, it's no surprise that she's tired" my mother said.
Rolling my eyes I ascended the stairs to my bedroom, kicked the door open and laid Akina gently on my bed. As I was about to stand up straight, she wrapped her arms around my neck tightly so that I was now stuck half standing. Scowling in annoyance, I untangled myself from her arms. Now what? I wondered as I yawned. May as well sleep, but then I remembered that Akina was currently occupying my bed. Great. Well, I should probably go downstairs and see whether there are any snobs for me to entertain.
When I entered the lounge room, I heard my father and his 'associates' talking. Groaning, I mentally prepared myself as I approached him.
"Kai" he said in surprise, then looked behind me. "Where's Hiragazaki Akina?" he said beginning to frown.
"She's sleeping in my room" I answered curtly, casting my eye around the room. Good, no snobs. These people must be the ones who are too caught up with their work to even have children.
"Well it is late" Mr. Hiragazaki said checking his watch. "I suppose it would be best if we left. Hiwatari Kai, will you show me to my daughter?"
"Of course" I said and waited for him to stand before leading him to my room.
"Why don't you allow her to sleep here tonight Li?" my father said appearing in my doorway.
"Are you sure about that?" he replied.
"Of course. She is more than welcome here. I'll have Kai send her home tomorrow. Anyway, it would be a shame to wake her up now" my father reassured him.
"Well then, if it is of no inconvenience for you, then she shall stay the night" Mr. Hiragazaki said finally giving in.
"Excellent" my father said smiling broadly and led Mr. Hiragazaki out of the room. "Katrina?" I heard him call out as he exited.
Several minutes later, my mother entered my room. "Kai, fetch me one of your shirts will you?" she requested.
"What for?" I asked opening a drawer.
"So that Akina can wear it" mum replied.
"Can't she wear what she's wearing now?" I muttered handing her a blue shirt.
"Of course not! Don't be silly. You can't sleep in such a pretty dress like hers" she replied laughing. "Now leave us for a moment" I obliged closing the door behind me and leaning on it. Smirking, I wondered what Akina would think of all of this when she woke up the next morning.
"Kai, you may come back in now" my mother said, her voice muffled through the door. I re-entered to find that Akina was now dressed in my shirt; her dress neatly folded lying on my chair.
"It was a wonder she didn't wake" my mother whispered. "Now where do you want to sleep tonight Kai?"
"Excuse me?" I said confused.
"Well you can sleep in here with Akina, the bed is big enough and your father surely won't mind, or you can sleep in a guestroom." She said stating my choices.
"I will sleep in the guestroom" I chose firmly. Like I was going to sleep in the same bed as her.
"Fine, the room to the right of yours has already been made up since I thought that you would be inclined to sleep there" my mother said ushering me out of my room.
This was so incredibly stupid.
Well there you go, another chapter finished. I still have heaps of homework to do. *sigh* Remember to review!
