Chapter 3 Awkward meetings part II

Michelle stared at him, just as he stared right back. He was handsome, she would give him that. Well he was more than handsome, he was gorgeous. With his two-toned blue hair and his well built body, he was probably the handsomest man she had ever met.

Mariah stared right through lord Kai, she stared right at the guard behind him. Was it? Could it be? That's when a warm smile adorned his handsome face. He was! A curious and happy expression crossed her face as she stared at his cat-like golden orbs.

"Welcome, welcome" Said Voltaire Hiwatari.

Michelle broke from her trance as she watched the old man.

"Thank you, for your hospitality." Her father replied.

"It's the best I could do." Voltaire responded looking right at Michelle. "And I believe you are Michelle, my grandson's fiancée."

Michelle gulped and forced a smile as she bowed politely. "I sure am, my lord."

"My name is Kai Hiwatari." Kai took a step forward and stretched his hand out to her.

"Michelle Robinson." Michelle said taking his hand. She watched as he took her hand to his hand and kissed her knuckles. A faint blush colored her cheeks.

"I'm Michael Robinson." Michael piped in.

Kai let go of Michelle's hand and shook her brother's hand.

"Well, I think we should leave the soon-to-marry alone for now, don't you think?" asked her father.

Michelle turned to glare at her father. "I don-."

"That would be great:" interrupted Kai. He smirked at her and she just glared right back.

Mariah just followed some of the servants to the kitchen just as Ray went to his guarding post.

Voltaire, Michael and her father went to a nice living room to talk about business.

Kai extended his hand Michelle laced her hand through his and off they were!

Michelle gasped in delight as she saw the beautiful gardens. There were all kinds of flowers she could imagine, fountains, some small animals. It was a really beautiful sight.

"Pretty, isn't it?" Kai asked.

"Beautiful" Michelle breathed.

Mariah was in the kitchens just when the kitchen door opened and in came Ray. She gasped in delight and ran over to him. He enveloped him in a hug.

"What are you doing here, Ray?" She asked confused.

"Well, Mariah, I seem to work here!" He said smiling and showing his fangs.

Mariah smiled warmly. "I'm happy to see you"

"Me too" he said hugging her even tighter. "So what do you say if we take a walk?"

"I'd love to!" Mariah exclaimed. She was so happy, not only had she had the pleasure to see Ray but now she was to live in the same place! She smiled at the thought.

Ray saw her smile and raised an eyebrow. "What's that smile?"

Mariah snapped out of her thoughts and smirked at Ray. "I missed you, it's all."

They walked through the gardens and the trees. "I missed you, too, Mari."

And the next thing she knew his lips had caught hers in a passionate kiss. Mariah gave into the kiss and kissed him back just as she melted into his arms.

Michelle and Kai were still walking through the gardens when a particular sight caught her eyes. There, under a tree was a very familiar pink haired girl in a very heated embrace with one of Kai's guards.

"Mariah?" she whispered out loud.

Kai looked down to see Michelle looking off. He followed her sight only to see Ray kissing a pink haired girl her knew as Michelle's personal maid.

He smirked. "I see they hit it off pretty well."

Michelle nodded still a little surprise by the shock but managed to snap out of it. Instead she felt happy for Mariah, she had find at last true love, one thing she might never find.

She stole a glance to Kai who was now staring right at her. She turned to look at her feet.

Or would she?

I'm really sorry for the short chappy, but I'm a little in a rush. My mom is yelling at me to go buy her some juices so I'm off to the grocery store around the corner.!!
