Chapter 3: confused kiss.
'dude, that's seriously one hot babe.' Tala said, which seemed like the 15th time, to kai.
'yeah I realize that.' kai answered darkly.
'what's gotten into you? You're all..moody and stuff.' Tala said, looking at his friend.
The bluenette shurgged. Tala grinned.
'I know what'll cheer you up. I've invited a few girls to hang with us after school. I think that's them there.' The redhead pointed down the hall. Kai followed his out-stretched hand and spotted two girls. One had black hair with light brown streaks, it reached about mid-back and was up in a ponytail. Kai's heart skipped a beat yet again as he saw who the other girl was. It was Reeni.
'hey tala, hey kai.' The brunette, whose name was Adriena, greeted them.
'who's this then?' tala asked, looking at the boy beside Adriena, who had his arm around her waist.
'oh, this is Johnny Mcgregor, my boyfriend.' She replied.
'cool, coming along?' the redhead asked.
Johnny nodded and grinned, nodding his head towards his girlfriend. Tala gave a knowing smile. Meanwhile, Kai was trying to look at anything but Reeni. Yet he could feel her near and he shifted awkwardly. Reeni smirked slightly, this was going to be fun.
'so, Reeni, where do you want to go? I did say I was going to take you anywhere you want.' Tala said, turning his attention towards the girl.
'what if I said I wanted to go to the moon?' she replied.
'well, i…er….' Tala scratched the back of his head. the girls laughed.
'I was just kidding, don't sweat it.' Miko said. Then added. 'Adriena and I were planning to go for a spin.'
'sure, we'll go.' Tala agreed. 'oh and Kai has a wicked black Ferari.'
'I know.' Reeni answered lightly. 'seen it before.'
'yeah but Reeni has a wicked black viper.' Johnny shot back, grinning.
Tala smirked. 'and I get first dibs for riding in it.'
'who said I was going to let you ride in it?' Renni said, raising her eyebrows.
Tala stopped in surprise and caused Kai to bump into him.
'watch it.' the bluenette growled.
'sorry kai. Say what? Come on, Reeni, you're kidding me right?' tala said quickly.
Then Johnny started laughing. 'I know you've just met Reeni, Tala, but I thought you would know by now she's either sarcastic, kidding or joking, she's never serious.'
'hey im serious…sometimes, well, most of the time.' The bluenette argued.
'yeah and pigs can fly.' Adriena said, rolling her eyes.
'guys!' she protested as they began laughing.
They walked out of the school and towards the parking lot. And there the two cars were, not too far from each other. Kai, a sharp black Ferari with red racing stripes, Reeni's on the other hand, was a sleek black Viper, blue flames ran along the bottom of the car.
'take your pick.' Kai said, gesturing to Tala, Adriena and Johnny to choose a car to ride in. the threesome immediately split up. Adriena and Johnny headed towards Kai's car while Tala slid into the front seat of Reeni's
'some friends you are.' The girl said to her two friends.
'well, we've never rode in kai's car before, you must admit, it is nice, plus, we've rode in your car a lot of times.' Adriena answered, while her eyes scanned over the car.
Reeni shrugged and got into her own vehicle. She pressed down on the accelerator and they shot forward towards the exit of the parking lot.
'hey! Reeni Kiwatashi get back here!' she heard Adriena yell.
'that's what you get for riding in hiwatari's car instead of mine.' She yelled back. 'see ya later.'
She sped down the street and soon, the other three were out of sight.
'racer?' Tala asked.
'sometimes.' She answered.
'ah, I never knew. This is interesting. Maybe we could have a race some day.' The redhead said, leaning back onto the seat.
'naw its okay, I already know im going to beat ya.' She smirked.
'yeah right, little girl.'
'little girl?' she asked, incredelous. 'excuse me?'
'yeah, you heard me right, Reeni, little girl. You are my little girl.' He answered, wiggling his eyebrows.
'very funny, valkov.' She scowled.
There was a moment's silence.
'hey, I know this place where you can see the view of the lake, and thick trees surround it so not a lot people know about it. the sight is just amazing. You have to see it.' Reeni said.
'sure, let's go, maybe by the time we go back, kai and the others will be at home doing their curfew.' Tala replied.
Reeni laughed at the joke. Her voice was music to tala's ears. It tinkled melodiously and swirled with the wind. Tala was caught staring at her, unable to turn his eyes away.
'um…we're here.' Reeni said, she had noticed him staring but decided not to say anything. They pulled into a small space surrounded by trees ahead of them. A light breeze blew, making the leaves rustle and dance.
Stepping out of the car, Reeni breathed in and out the fresh air.
'well? Are you going to come? Or do I have to open the door for you?' she said sarcastically to the redhead.
'oh. Right.' he hastily quickly got out and joined her, walking through the green tunnel of leaves. The sight at the end made him gape. The lake wasn't too big, and not too small, but it was round and smooth, the water rippled slightly at the evening winds. But the amazing thing was that near sunset the lake reflected the beautiful, well, sunset.
'isnt it beautiful?' reeni breathed.
'ill say.' Tala replied, except he was looking at the girl and not what she was trying to show him. Before he could turn away, Reeni turned around and their eyes locked. A smile tugged at her lips. And poor Tala was caught staring at them.
Tala's POV
I wonder what it's like to kiss those lips?….argh there I go again, im only suppose to be playing around and having fun. Not falling in love with a goddess! …………………..did I just call her a 'goddess'? oh man, I have it bad….
Normal POV
'tala?' Reeni asked, waving her hands in front of his face. 'are you there?'
Suddenly he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Reeni gave a sharp intake of breath. Then the redhead closed the gap between them. As she felt his soft lips on hers, she stiffed but slowly realxed as he took her lips possessively. Tala pressed her against him and she wrapped her arms around his neck, entwining her fingers in his hair. He sank his teeth into her bottom lip and she gasped. Taking this opportunity, he slip his tongue past her lips and into her mouth, drawing a moan from the girl. Suddenly he felt a small sting and he withdrew. Reeni smirked and bared her canine teeth teasingly. He scowled.
'not nice, babe.'
'babe?' she raised her eyebrows again, which seemed like the 3rd time today.
'what?' tala smiled innocently.
It was her turn to scowl.
Reeni's POV
What's happening? Im not supposed to be affected by that kiss……. Im only trying to get hiwatart, not falling love with a irresistable hottie. Woah…wait! 'irresistable'? 'hottie'? I must be losing it….
Normal POV
'come on, let's go back.' She said. She took tala's arm, which was still wound around her waist and led him back towards the car.
The night was cool as they drove back in silence.
'see you tomorrow then.' tala said as he got out in front of his house. 'I hope.' He added.
'put it under your pillow and sleep on it.' Reeni replied and with a wave, drove off into the night.
