Forbidden Apple

Chapter 4: Shopping & Presents.

A jet-black haired girl flicked through the clothes lines in the latest clothes shop in the mall, nothing! At least nothing she could afford.

Riley stepped out of the shop and made her way to the escalator that lead down to the main floor, she looked at her watch, it was 6:30pm so she decided to head back home.

She had just stepped on the first step of the escalator when she saw slate hair rising on the escalator going the other way back up. She watched as the figure came closer and Riley's heart began to beat faster.

And there he was, the sex god all mighty in all his glory wearing navy combats and a black t-shirt with Linkin Park written across it, his dreamy gaze fell upon the teenage girl as she stared deep into his auburn eyes.

Riley got to the bottom of the escalator a turned to see if maybe she could catch another glimpse of the slate haired teen. To her surprise she saw Kai jump on the metal pole between the two escalators and slide down balancing as well as a cat and jumping of at the end.

He looked up at her grinning.

"How did you...?" Riley blurted out in a mixture of surprise and shock.

"I use to do a lot of skateboarding when I was younger." Kai stated putting his arm loosely around Riley's shoulders.

Riley blushed slightly.

"So what are you doing here?" Kai asked checking out the blonde that had just walked past them.

"Leaving." Riley pouted shaking Kai's arm off and running towards the exit.

An arm wrapped itself round Riley's waist forcefully; she twisted round to find Kai's face right in front of her own.

"Not so fast," He said smirking.

"Hey you can't force me to stay here!" Riley said not meeting Kai's gaze.

"Hey, come on, I need your help." Kai said cupping Riley's chin and lifting it so they were looking eye to eye.

"My help?" Riley whispered as Kai lips got closer and closer to her own.

"Yeah, I need to buy Miriam's present and well I'm unless at that kinda thing." He whispered back in her ear.

She shivered slightly as she felt Kai's breath against her ear as he spoke. Kai stepped back putting his arm round Riley's shoulder once more and leading her back to the escalator.

"So what did you buy for Miriam?" Kai asked curiously.

"Why?" Riley raised an eyebrow.

"Just curious,"

"You ever heard of 'Curiosity killed the cat'?" Riley smirked looking up at Kai's profile, they got off the escalator and were slowly making their way back to the shops Riley had come out of just a few minutes ago.

"Yeah, but then again I'm not a cat, so what will curiosity do to me?" Kai looked down into Riley's eyes that were still watching him, she quickly looked away.

I am making this SO obvious!

"Hmmm, I don't know but I'm sure I'll think of something."

Am I flirting with him?!?

"You still haven't answered my question," Kai continued grinning.

Riley looked up at him and cocked her head to the side in confusion. "What question?"

"Why are you here?"

"Oh, I was looking at dresses," Riley replied.

"So how come you didn't buy anything?"

"Can't afford it," Riley admitted sadly.

"Aw poor Cinderella," Kai smirked.

"Oh shut up!" Riley said laughing as she punched him playfully in the ribs and ran inside one of the shops.

Kai followed the baby blue eyed girl into the store, stacks of clothes rails were all around but Riley was nowhere to be seen.

He walked through right to the end of the store where a whole wall was covered in different kinds of women's shoes. There was a little movement behind him but before he had a chance to turn fully Riley was on his back and refusing to let go.

Kai pulled at Riley's arm and as he was obviously stronger than her he pulled her on his front so her arms were still wrapped around his neck.

"I got you now," He smirked as he dipped his head lower.

"I don't think so," Riley whispered fighting against Kai's grip.

Kai trying to regain control lost his balance and both teens fell onto one of the benches where costumers usually tried on their potential shoes. Kai on top of Riley.

"Now I definitely got you," A larger smirk growing on his lips as he took in their situation he cocked his head to the side once more and more forcefully leaned in.

"Eehm..." Someone beside them gave a forced cough.

Both teens looked up in surprise and found a girl of no older than twelve standing there a grim expression on her face. She had slate coloured hair and golden honey coloured eyes that didn't look impressed, the look in her eyes seemed a lot older than the girl herself.

"Kara?" Kai spoke a hint of confusion cushioning his words.

"Mum told you to pick me up from Kita's house like an hour ago!" The girl snapped, "But instead you go of raping girls in a clothes store!"

"I'm not raping her," This time it was Kai's turn to snap.

"Then what are you doing?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"They have nice shoes here," Riley finally spoke looking at the shoes behind her upside down from her position.

Kai smiled as he stood up lifting the black haired girl with him.

"So, who are you?" Kara asked in a bored voice, "Another one of my brothers victims?"

"Your BROTHER!?!" Riley's shock obvious, "Actually that's not surprising you do look alike,"

"Yeah sure!" Kara snorted grabbing her brother's arm and pulling him out of the store.

Kai unhooked Kara's hand from his arm and walked up to Riley who had silently followed the two out of the store.

"Look, I'm sorry about this, Kara is a little deranged," Kai said with a smirk.

"What and your not?" Kara gave Kai an identical smirk, "It runs in the family Hun,"

Kai raised an eyebrow.

"Actually she dose have a point," Riley laughed.

Kai gave both girls an over exaggerated hurt expression causing both girls to laugh harder.

"Come on, lets give this lunatic some air," Riley smirked offering her arm as the girl beside her was at least three inches shorter then her.

"I agree," Kara hoped her arm through Riley's and they both walked off leaving Kai standing there his mouth hanging open.


"I'm hungry!" Kara and Riley moaned for the fourth time in the past two minutes.

"Uh! Fine, you know maybe Tala had a point about you," Kai sighed heading for the food court.

"What did he say this time?" Riley raised an eyebrow in slight interest.

"That your only after me for my money and good looks," Kai smirked giving Riley and wink.

"You wish!" Riley whacked Kai around the head grabbed his arm and pulled him to the counter.

"For one I'M not after YOU, and the rest is just pure bullshit!" Riley glared at Kai pointing to a medium tub of cookie dough ice cream then pulling Kara towards one of the tables.

"Same for me slave!" Kara said over her shoulder.

Kai rolled his eyes at the two girls as he took out his wallet and began to order.

"Do you like the devil?" Kara suddenly asked as the girl sat down at one of the tables.

Riley gave her a confused look.

"Well I don't know him personally but I heard that he's pretty buff," Riley smiled.

"From who?" Kara gave Riley and awkward look.

"Miriam, she a sort of Goth, she doesn't admitted it of course,"

"No, mean my brother," Kara said seriously after giving her a grin for the comment.

"I don't know, he is a jackass," Riley said slowly as she looked around at the people walking past, thinking about the question.

"Look, I have to warn you, I've seen my brother pick up girls, fuck them then drop then just as fast." Kara sighed. "I really like you that's why I'm telling you this."

"Riley?" Kara continued, she waved her hand in front of Riley's eyes who was staring out of the window at one specific spot. "Are you listening?"

"Firstly, aren't you a bit young to use that kind of language? Secondly thanks for the advise," Riley looked back at Kara. "And thirdly you see that guy over there, he's been staring at me for at least the past ten minutes not budging."

Kara slowly turned around and looked in the direction that Riley had been looking just a second ago. She observed the area with her golden orbs but she saw nothing suspicious.

"What are you talking about?" Kara said looking back at Riley and raising an eyebrow.

"There..." Riley looked back at the spot where just a minute ago a boy with lavendery silver hair stood. "I don't get it he was there a minute ago!"

"Maybe you seeing things," Kara said shaking her head. "What did he look like?"

"I don't See things," Riley frowned, "He had lavendery silver hair, my age..."

"What like that guy?" Kara whispered as she looked over Riley shoulder to the entrance of the food court.

Riley spun around and her baby blue orbs met pure lavender ones.

The boy's lips turned into a smirk showing off his perfectly white teeth. He wore a white baggy t-shirt that reached below his hips with the words 'Addicted to Pain' in bold black letter on it. He also wore worn navy baggy jeans and a sliver chain around his neck.

"What are you ladies staring at?" Kai asked as he approached their table with the food.

In the moment that both girl's attention slipped to Kai the boy seemed to have disappeared.

When there was silence Kai gave a confused look, sighing he sat down next to Riley.

"How the...?" Kara stuttered.

"Who the...?" Riley continued.

"What are you two mumbling about?" Kai asked getting annoyed.

When no answer came Kai rolled his eyes stood up with his own ice cream and began walking out of the food court an annoyed childish look forming on his face.

"Hey Kai wait!" Riley called out coming back to reality as she grabbed her and Kara's ice cream and the girl's hand before running after the slate haired teen.


"I'm SORRY!" Riley said those words for what felt like the millionth time in the past five minutes.

"Riley don't bother, he's always been a brat in the head," Kara spoke as she looked at the shops around her.

"Kai!!!" Riley moaned impatiently, "We were just taken by this weird guy that came into the food court that's it!?!"

"Was he buff?" Kai spat walking faster to the exit than before.

"HELL NO!" Riley lied, "He was weird kept staring at me,"

Kai who had been a meter in front of the two girls spun around and looked straight into Riley's baby blue orbs.

"Hey don't get jealous bro, it's not like you two are going out or anything," Kara rolled her eyes then smirked in amusement as her brother gave her a death glare.

"Look come on, you still haven't bought Miriam a present and I just got an idea of what to buy her." Riley smiled grabbing Kai's arm and pulling him into one of the high-class dress shops.


"You ready?" Riley called from behind one of the changing room curtains.

Kai grunted a reply still in a bad mood as he sat on one of the couches in front of the changing room his sister and Riley were in.

"Okay," Riley pulled the curtain aside and Kai's jaw nearly dropped of as he saw what the two girls were wearing.

Kara was wearing pink summer dress that was revealing more than needed to at her age; she had a huge smirk on her face as she saw Kai's face.

Riley on the other hand had a black gothic dress that showed of the front of her tanned legs yet covered the back with a black material that was attached to the leather belt around her waist. The dress was cut of at the top showing of the top of her breasts and neck, it had see-through sleeves that reached right to the fingers and had cut off finger holes like a glove.

"Well what do you think?" Riley asked checking herself out in the head to toe mirror on the wall opposite.

"Get some heels and you'll look hot!" Kai mumbled still taking in her appearance.

"Not for me you fool! For Miriam!" Riley sighed and rolled her eyes at the teenage boy.

"Oh," Kai said coming back to reality, "Yeah its cool,"

Riley sighed once more as she checked her watch. It was nearly eight and that is when the mall shuts.

"There you go, get her this and say it's from all three of us," Riley smiled.

"And if either of you mention this dress ever being on me I will personally promise you a very painful death!" Kara smirked, as both teens looked her in surprise. "Kai you know this is not my style, I'll never be caught in pink again!"

Kai smirked.

"Same size?" Kai asked as Riley stepped out of the changing room her normal clothes back on, (A black tank top that said 'Bite Me!' in silver letters, a navy jean skirt, black ankle boots and a black leather jacket) she handed him the dress.

"Oh err no, she's taller so a size bigger."

Kai nodded and went off towards the pay area leaving Riley alone as Kara was still changing.

A wolf whistle came from behind her. Riley spun around to find the lavender boy from before sitting on the couch in front of her.

"Who are you?" Riley whispered her voice seemed stolen.

"You looked fine in that dress, boyfriend is he?" The boy nodded at Kai who was talking to one of the assistance.

"You didn't answer my question!" Riley snapped regaining her voice.

"You look cute when you're angry," He spoke in a soothing voice as he stood up, he was about an inch taller than the teenage girl in front of him.

"Answer my question," She was whispering once more.

"Do I really have to?" The lavender-eyed boy dipped his head, his lips met Riley's, but she didn't move away but closed her eyes and allowed it, she liked it.

"Riley?" Came Kai's voice from beside her.

Riley's eyes snapped open and where there had been a boy before was nothing but air.

"What were you doing?" Kai asked a confused look on his face.

"Nothing," She whispered back as Kara came out of the changing room a worried expression on her face. Kara took her arm and the three left the store.

The ride to Riley's house was in pure silence, Kai was pissed off because both girls were ignoring him once more, Riley was going over what happened with that boy over and over again and Kara was worrying about Riley and this mysterious boy, only thing was, she didn't know why only she'd heard the whole changing room scene and she didn't like it.

When they arrived Riley muttered a bye and ran indoors as quickly as she could.

"That girl is seriously weird," Kai mutter as he drove of home.

"Riley? Is that you sweetie?" A voice came from the living room.

When Riley didn't reply her mum came to the front door. Riley leaned against her front door and closed her eyes sighing.

Leave me alone!

"Sweetie, there's something I want to tell you, someone I want you to meet."

Oh great another one of my mum's snobby friends!

"Riley, this is Liam,"

A tall man of over six foot came out of the living room and joined the two, he had platinum blonde short hair and stand out looking lavender eyes.

"We are getting married!"
