Beautiful Disaster

Chapter 11

A/N: hey guys I've been working hard at other stuff so this one took a while to spit out sorry!! looks around sheepishly

"Rave wanna go to the bathroom?" I called across the table. I needed to sort something out.

She nodded oblivious and we got up. Mwa ha ha ha! Perfect! Time to put my plan into action! As soon as we got into the bathroom and out of the groups sight range I turned on her.

"Okay spill, what's the deal with Kai and Vesta, its like playing taboo without knowing what words not to say!" I cried exasperated.

Rave cringed and looked at me with her large almond shaped green eyes, "I'll tell you, but can I go pee first!?!"

I laughed slightly and moved out of her way as she rushed into a cubical.

"You see it all started when Vesta came to study over here last year. . " Raven began washing her hands. "She and Kai went out and dated for like three months or something. I'm telling you that it's the longest relationship that boy has ever held! So anyway after a while Kai got heaps distant from her and shut her off completely. It's like he woke up one day and got sick of being around her. And it's not only that but the way he looked at her, it was weird. It was like he regretted it. I don't know."

An idea slowly formed in my mind.

I grinned, "Why don't we get them back together?" I said excited clapping my hands jovially.

"What! Are you crazy, they hate each other now, they don't even hang out with one another." Raven replied.

"I'm not crazy." I retorted, 'You weren't at the hospital. I'm telling you there was something in his and her eyes!"

"You're a hopeless romantic."

"So are you, that's why I know your going to help me!" I grinned, now she's caught between a rock and a hard place.. .or something like that

"If Tala finds out he'll rip your head off. He's already acting all stiff even though Kai may be his best friend but blood is thicker than well not water . . . there's something else you can say for that.." Raven drawled. We're having a bad day with quotes today aren't we!

"Well then he won't find out." I shrugged cutting her off. "C'mon we'd better get out of here before they start wondering what's taking us so long."

We exited the bathrooms and crossed the restaurant only to find Vesta in tears being comforted by Mariah, Merriam and Ray, Kai stalking out of the restaurant, Tala about to follow and Johnny sitting down looking bored about the whole drama.

"J . . . care to explain?" Raven asked the bored Scotsman.

"Vesta asked Kai something like what he was doing at school and Tala got ruffled a bit, well enough to rip Kai's head off when Kai informed Vez about his newest girl interest. Then Kai stormed out and Vez started bawling." The red head replied.

I watched Tala exit the restaurant and ran after him, my mind was only on keeping him away from Kai.

"I pushed past the door jogging a few metres. Tala!" I yelled grabbing his wrist and pulling him with all my strength back to me. He turned and totally off guard slammed full force back into me his face inches from mine. I felt my pulse beat at a million miles an hour and my breathing became faster and shallower. I hadn't run that far had I? His crystal blue eyes stared into mine and a wave of lust washed over my body. I just needed to. I moved forward, hesitating millimeters off, his breath creating a tingling sensation on my lips. I leaned in pushing my mouth gently against his, he returned with almost the same fervor. My skin prickled as his arms moved to encircle me, his lips parting for me.

I pulled away.

My body felt like jelly, the way it would after I had swam 10 laps of a pool. I cringed knowing my face was turning a bright red. "Kai's gone" I croaked angry at the shakiness of my voice.

Tala stared at me amused. "He got away."

His disposition didn't help to calm my nerves. That kiss was pure lust! Nothing else. Nothing. I struggled to find a conversation topic as far as possible from what had just happened. "So, I'd better go see if he's okay . . . " I mumbled walking away to my bike. Stay. Stay. Stay. I pleaded in my head hoping the red head wouldn't follow, or ask any questions.

"I'll tell Mariah, Merriam and Raven where you've gone." Tala said and I heard the bell of the restaurant door ring. He had gone back inside.

Phew.

Whoa! Man did he kiss nice! Okay. Lust kiss. Lust kiss. Nothing else.

I kept repeating my mantra as I rode home.

Go to see if Kai's okay? Like hell. I'm going to be too busy planning his reunion with the love of his life!

Kill alarm . . . Kill Alarm. . . Kill Alarm . . my mind slowly woke to the realization that it was morning and a school day.

Fuck it.

I kicked my sheets off and watched as they fell on the floor in a disgraceful heap. Oh well. I picked up my uniform from my cupboard and went downstairs so I could iron some of the imprinted crinkles out of it. What a wonderful Monday.

Bouncing down my stairs and through the kitchen I caught sight of Jamie making toast.

"Oh Jamie my little brother who-has-yet-to-be-punished-for-stealing-my-diary." I called in a singsong voice.

"How many?" he sighed as the toast popped out.

"Two my dear slave."

He rolled his eyes at me. "Right."

"Why are you so happy?" Derek asked as I waltzed past him to the ironing board in the laundry.

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Where have you been?" I asked suddenly noticing I hadn't seen him since Saturday.

"I slept over at a friends." Derek shrugged picking up a clean wet shirt from the floor and sticking it in the dryer.

"But you had a date.."

He shrugged at me, "You still haven't told me why you're so happy."

I grinned a huge grin trying not to seem too excited, oh what's the harm in telling fancy pants Derek? "Over the weekend I came up with the purrrfect plan to help my two friends find true love!" I sighed.

"You're a hopeless romantic. Reality's different; watch yourself and stop meddling in other peoples business. You'll get a rude awakening." Derek warned. I shrugged him off. He can hardly apply that sort of thinking to our problem here since he doesn't know the details, I do.

I finished ironing my shirt and skirt and left the room, Derek's comments still niggling at the back of my mind. Arrgh! He's like a stupid conscious I want to bash and bash and bash!

He's wrong. He's got to be!

I sat in biology, my final class bored out of my brain as the teacher explained something about bacteria.

I pushed myself into the back of my chair and quickly glanced at Tala. He was writing notes and sniggering with the boy beside him.

I shook my head just to clear it and turned to Merriam who was seated beside me.

"How long?" I asked yawned.

"Like less than a minute." She replied stretching her arms out.

"Great.-

"Miss Kidner am I boring you?" Mr. Foster asked stopping his lecture on bacteria.

"Errr- no sir bacteria is very interesting." I replied trying to regain some mercy.

"hmmmm." Mr. Foster replied and the bell rang.

FREEDOM!

"I want that work summarized before our next class" Mr. Foster called over the noise that we were making packing up. "Miss Kidner we haven't finished our talk."

Crud.

"What would you like to talk about sir?" I asked sitting down again.

"You yawning and disrupting my class. I don't know what it was like in your old school but I run a very tight ship here and I do no excuse this behaviour easily. Consider yourself lucky it was not a detention."

"Yes sir." I drawled.

"And another thing, do up your tie." Mr. Foster concluded and walked out of the room. I made a face at his retreating back and fixed my tie up so it looked a bit like a tie.

"You haven't said a word to me all day." A voice said from the corner of the room. I looked up to find Tala shutting the classroom door silently behind him. His deep red hair was slightly disheveled and his crystal blue eyes locked on mine.

"Yeah I have.. " I stammered, what was he doing anyway? I got up, swinging my bag on my shoulder, " I said hi. I mean I wasn't trying to avoid you.."

At least not knowingly.

"Are you sure Allie?" he smirked moving towards me, he kept his eyes level with mine, his voice held a hidden meaning I couldn't decipher.

I maneuvered out of the rows of desks towards him, intending to sneak past him to the door. I got past him but he turned and grabbed my wrist sharply.

"I'm sure!" I cringed wondering where this attitude had sprung from.

His hand moved from my wrist and removed my bag from my shoulder. Stepping towards me I moved backwards into the wall.

I forced out a laugh, "Tala are you okay?" I asked a little worried, I pulled my eyes away from his and stared at the floor.

He moved to whisper in my ear his warm breath warming my skin.

"Just to make sure…" he trailed seductively nibbling on my ear, "I think we should kiss and make up."

I gasped and turned to face him. Before I could say anything his mouth was on mine with almost brutal force. I was pushed up against the wall and felt his tongue enter my mouth with a gentleness I didn't expect. Every nerve ending in my body felt like it was alive, tingling, shivering…he tasted of cinnamon…his mouth…his tongue…

"I'm satisfied now." He smirked pulling away.

"I guess we aren't fighting anymore.."

"I guess not."

Wai! Finished! Lots of Tala and Allie fluff cause they aren't as close as I want them to be. But it's just lust at the moment…..

BYE!
