Chapter Three of Three
Tala's P.O.V.
To tell the truth, I was a bit nervous standing in front of Kai's closed door, holding my piece of paper. But I summoned the courage to knock on the wood. The door opened a crack and Kai stared at me.
"Hey Kai," I began monotonously, trying to sound casual. "I have something for you." I handed him the folded paper, which he slowly directed his eyes to for a moment, then looked back at me.
I couldn't stand to look in those vacant eyes so I looked at the paper and mumbled, "Look at it", which he did.
Slowly, he unfolded it and read my message. The silence seemed interminable as I stood there, shifting uncomfortably.
Finally, Kai looked up at me. His crimson orbs, which had been empty a few minutes before, had hints of surprise in them.
"L—love…me?" Kai's question left his mouth in a whisper. "You…were serious?" His voice was pretty monotonous, though.
I wanted to look down, but I kept my eyes focused in his. "Yes," I replied firmly.
Silence fell upon the world. That happened a lot between us, and it made me a bit uneasy. But I didn't show my uneasiness that time.
Then, something completely unexpected happened, not that I know what I was expecting from the unpredictable Kai.
Kai took a step toward me and placed a gentle, small kiss on my cheek. He pulled away slowly, looked in my eyes for a brief moment, then turned around and returned to his room, shutting the door behind him.
I stood there confused for a while, but a small smile eventually made it onto my face.
Now, Kai and I are adults, and we share an apartment in Russia. Kai is out somewhere for business currently; he took over his grandfather's company a while back. I was staring out the window, thinking about him, when I decided I should make myself useful.
We hardly clean up our apartment; then again, we hardly need to. But I decided I would try.
We have separate rooms, though we usually don't sleep in different beds. I went into Kai's room and I noticed a piece of wrinkled paper lying on his neatly made bed. So now, here I am, ambling over to his bed, taking a seat. I pick up the paper and unfold it, and I realize that this is from that time in our teenage years after I confessed my love.
Kai, I'm sorry for what I did, what I said. I wanted to hurt you because you hurt me, but it only worsened my feelings and our situation. Please forgive me, Kai; I am truly sorry.
I wish you a happy birthday, Kai, and though you may not be a blessing to the world, you are a blessing to me.
I understand if you do not feel for me as I feel for you, but please try to understand my feelings.
I love you Kai and I always will. Tala.
