"ARRGG!" Kai yelled hands reaching for his nose. Blood began to pour out of it.
Oh crap.
"Oh I'm sooo sorry Kai!! I didn't mean to break your nose. Sorry
Sorry!
Sorry!
Sorry!
Sorry…!"
Kai held his nose gingerly as I continued to apologise.
"Oh Kai did I break it? I'm soooooo sorry!"
Ray started laughing hysterically after realizing what had happened. Tears were appearing at the corners of his eyes, Kai was mumbling something.
"Kai? Are you okay?" I asked hesitantly.
He glared at me looking very annoyed and in a LOT of pain.
He he he better not ask that question again!
By now Tala had come out of Ray's house to see what the commotion was about.
"Did you hit him?" Tala asked me amused. I stared blankly at him trying to find the words to explain my small burst of violence.
"Yeah! he called her fat!" Ray laughed out loud, answering Tala's question for me.
I glared at him.
I'm not fat!
"I think we better take him to see a doctor." Tala said holding back the laughter.
What nice friends they are laughing after I had just punched their friend in the face!
I didn't mean too.
Oh crap.
"Hey killing machine I need a favour." Tala called to me. I scowled at his new name for me.
"HOW CAN YOU GUYS BE SO COOL I JUST BROKE HIS NOSE ? ! ?" I shrieked jumping out of the car.
"Calm down Allie it's happened before once at soccer, he'll be fine." Ray said reassuring me.
Like that helped.
I'm a killing machine!
"Allie!" Tala brought me out of my daze, "here's my address. . " he said writing on my hand, "I'm supposed to take my cousin to the mall can you give her a lift while we take Kai to the doctor?"
"What's her name?" I asked , I get over things very quickly.
"Vesta."
"Alright but shouldn't I stay with Kai to see if he's okay." I asked hesitantly.
Kai glared at me.
Okay guess not.
"Um maybe after he has cooled off." Ray laughed,
I jumped on my bike and sped away to Tala's house feeling really, really guilty.
I pulled up to Tala's house and knocked on the door a couple of times.
A girl my age with long black hair and chocolate coloured eyes opened the door. She wore a mini skirt and a white tee. She raised an aristocratic eyebrow at me.
Must be cause I look like I've just woken up . . well I have!
"Can I help you?" she asked nicely
"Yes, I'm looking for a Vesta. I'm Tala's friend." I replied.
"Oh that's me, what's wrong?"
"I kinda punched his friend in the face so he's taking him to the doctor but I'm here to take you to the mall, because he can't make it." I quickly explained feeling foolish.
"Which friend?" she asked looking at me strangely.
"Kai Hiwatari."
Something passed her features quickly but was soon replaced with a smiling face.
"Oh I know him . . . well maybe we should see him to make sure he's okay first huh?" she asked noticing my nervousness.
I was really scared maybe I caused permanent brain damage or something.
I'm probably going to be sued like a million dollars . . .
"Yeah if it's not too much trouble." I sighed a little relieved.
We jumped on my bike and Vesta gave me directions to the nearest hospital where they would most likely be.
- - - - - - - -- -
"Kai it could be worse she could've ruined your looks!" I heard Tala's voice joke as we neared the room the nurse told us held Kai. Well at least I didn't disfigure his face!
"Hey Kai!" I said sweetly as I entered the hospital room, Tala's cousin, Vesta followed me in.
"hmn." He grumbled and looked out the window.
"Hello Hiwatari, Kai." Vesta said somewhat coldly. Kai turned around on the bed to face Tala's cousin Vesta.
Suddenly there was a lot of tension in the room.
"Vesta?" he asked staring at the girl.
"Vesta I thought you were going to the mall?" Tala asked before grabbing her hand and walking outside with her.
"Tala, Don't get angry at her! My fault!!! " I said running outside to find Tala practically dragging his cousin outside. "I'll take her to the mall now if you like!"
Vesta yanked her hands out of her cousin's grip. "Tala I'm old enough to make my own decisions, I'm the same age as you, treat me the same as you did before! I won't make the same mistake again." She said coldly "give me your keys, I'll go now."
Tala forked over his keys and walked back over to me, Vesta walked out of the hospital.
"Whoa Tala, what's wrong with her coming here?" I asked confused as he reached me.
"Nothing that you need to know." He said walking back into Kai's room.
Ray smiled uneasily when we walked back inside Kai had resumed staring outside.
"So Tala, how long has Vesta been in town?" he asked trying to cheer the mood up.
"Around four months now." He replied.
"Oh why didn't you tell us? We should have had a party to welcome her back!"
"Because."
"Oh I see. Is she back to complete her studies here?"
"Yeah."
"What school does she go to?"
"The all girls college down the road."
"Cool! I'm sure Mariah will be pleased to here she's back those two were inseparable when she was here last."
"Yeah."
Just then the doctor walked into the room.
"Your free to go now young man, just be careful when playing soccer okay?" He said cheerfully and left the room.
"Soccer?" I repeated.
"Kai didn't want to say a chick punched him in the nose." Ray said laughing a little.
Right . . .
"Awe! Did I hurt you pride Kai?" I said teasingly.
He glared at me.
"Lets get out of here!" Tala said his face filled with disgust, "I hate hospitals!"
"Right!"
Ray drove Kai home in his car and Tala and I walked over to my bike.
"It's interesting how you ride a bike." Tala commented putting on the spare helmet I had given him.
"Interesting how so?" I asked
"Well it's not something girls would normally drive.. . ."
"Yeah I suppose, I like it, the rush . . ."
Tala cut me off. "The rush eh?" he asked
"Yeah!"
"Hop on, I'll show you rush" he got onto the bike and took the keys out of my hand.
"You will, will you?" I said raising an eyebrow and sat behind him.
"Hold on!" he yelled revving my bike up and speeding out of the hospital car park.
I clutched onto Tala remembering how he drove his jeep on the way home from the beach. I shouldn't have let him drive my bike. BAD IDEA ALLIE!
When Tala said rush he wasn't kidding. He sure knew how to handle a bike; I could feeling the blood pumping through my veins as we sped through some of the back streets and alleyways. The feeling was indescribable.
"YEEEE HAAAA!"
-- - - -- -- - - - - -- - - --
We got to Tala's house in no time at all.
"Enough adrenaline there for you?" he asked smirking; he pulled of my helmet for me.
"We should do that again sometime!" I exclaimed my voice barely a whisper from screaming so much.
"Yeah…" Tala replied and pulled his own helmet off. "Wanna drink?"
"Ah. . sure." I said following him inside his very large house.
Almost as nice as Kai's luverly home . . . almost.
I followed into his kitchen and watched as he poured to glasses full of coke. I suddenly heard a faint cry.
"What was that?" I asked Tala going to the door.
"Ah it's probably Hayden." Tala replied putting the coke away.
"Hayden?"
"My little brother."
"And your just going to leave that, your not the littlest bit curious if something is wrong?" I asked sternly.
"Not really, he'll get over it." Tala shrugged.
I glared at him and went in search of his little brother. "Women!" I heard Tala exclaim softly as I ascended the stairs.
"Hayden . . ." I called out quietly as I reached the second floor. As if he was going to hear that! I sounded like I was whispering.
I followed the noise of a video game till I found a room door with the sign, "Hayden's Room". A little obvious isn't it.
I knocked softly on the door. "Hayden?"
"Whoooo isth it?" I heard a little kid's voice reply.
"Allie, a friend of Tala's." I said in a sweet voice.
The door suddenly swung open to reveal a mini version of Tala around the age of five or six. Oh he is the cutest! ! !
"HI! I'm Hay-den." Hayden said, "Wanna play?" Two of his chubby hands grabbed one of mine and he dragged me into his room.
"Okay sure!" I said and sat next to him on the floor. He handed me a controller to his video game. "You press this to shoot." He explained seriously, "now don't you shoot the good guys or we'll lose points."
"Okay, what are we playing?"
The little boy shrugged, "I dunno, Tala got it for me. Now remember don't shoot the good guys!"
"Sure."
He looked at me skeptical.
"I won't I promise!" I reassured him and he smiled pressing the start button.
We played a couple of games till Hayden turned it off. "Are you Tala's girlfriend?" he asked abruptly.
"Sorry?" I squeaked
Hayden sighed exasperated, AWE so cute! He has the chubbiest cheeks.
"Are you (he pointed at me to get his point across) Tala's girlfriend?"
"N-"
Tala interrupted the conversation. "Hayden what happened to softball?" he asked the little boy, giving me my glass of coke, which I had forgotten about.
"Thanks"
"Mommy said it was cancelled cause the other team were scared of us BIG men and didn't send enuf kids." Hayden answered and kicked his brother. "Get off my bed! You'll muck it up!"
Tala held his hands up it defeat and jumped up off the bed "Whoa kiddo since when do you care?"
"Mommy AND ME made it today!" Hayden said proudly tugging at the corners of the doona. "She said I went REALLY well. I'm going to do it everyday now!"
"Yeah right . . ." Tala said under his breath "Where is mom anyway?"
"Gardening outside, she said she loves me so much she'll let me have alone time-"
Hayden was interrupted by a whirl of blue. "TALA!" it screamed.
"Hi Soph." Tala said to the now visible girl.
She was as gorgeous as the little boy she had a pretty blue dress on and gorgeous red curls. Hayden's hair was also red, but not curly.
"GUESS what! I won! I bet them all!" The girl explained jumping on the spot next to her brother.
"Are they twins?" I interjected, Tala nodded before turning his attention back onto the little girl, "They all said they were going to win but I beat them I won the spelling bee!" she clapped her hands joyously.
"Great!" Tala replied.
Sophie suddenly turned to me, "Are you going out with Tala?" she asked curious.
Tala clamped a hand over his little sisters mouth. "Adorable aren't they?" he said sarcastically, "Now Soph don't be rude to Allie." He warned and let go of the girl, before pushing me out of the door and closing it slowly behind him.
"Lets go before they start killing each other." He smirked and walked back down the stairs. I followed him.
"They were really cute!" I grinned as we got back into the kitchen.
"They are evil." Tala replied putting my glass away for me.
"nah, they were gorgeous." I said sitting down on a nearby stool.
"I can think of something cuter." Tala said seductively and I suddenly realized how close he was to me. He stood near my back, his hot breath on my neck.
Then he slid onto the stool next to me.
"-uh - I'm sure you can . . . " I began to fiddle with my brown hair, I was really nervous. He stared at me his ice blue eyes level with a hint of amusement.
"Well I have to go now my mums probably wondering where I am. . " I quickly explained and pulled myself up.
Tala shrugged, "okay, are you going tonight?"
"What's tonight?"
"Enny's playing in his band, remember?"
"Yeah, I'll probably go." I replied as we walked down the hall to the front door.
"Cool I'll see you there." He said and opened the door for me; I went to my bike and pulled on my helmet.
"Bye!" Tala waved and went back inside his house. I waved back as he closed the door.
I heard Tala scream "HAYDEN!! SOPHIE!! COME DOWN HERE!!" faintly as I pulled out of the driveway.
I rode home on my bike carefully; lets say Tala's adrenaline rush was enough for me. . . for one day. . .
