Chapter 6: Phone calls
Boris rushed to the phone for the fifth time that morning, he was getting quite annoyed by all the calls Kai received. If his grandfather was here, he would not be too pleased. Kai should not be getting any calls at all; in fact he was not even supposed to have any friends. And apparently, Kai did not have any friends, he had even specifically asked him to made excuses from all the calls. Boris sighed, he did not know what made master Kai gave the home number away, the girl's high pitched voice brought him back from his train of thoughts.
"Hello, may I speak to-?"
"I'm sorry but he's in the bathroom now…" Boris interrupted her as he looked over at the source of all the hectic trouble.
Kai was sitting casually on the couch munching on some potato chips, silently watching a show. Kai himself knew that this chain of calls would come, especially since he gave his precious phone number away. He was about to stand to use the bathroom when another call came.
Boris ran and picked up the phone he did not even wait for the person to speak before he said Kai was busy studying. Slamming down the phone Boris got so angry he turned and faced Kai with those rare and angry eyes. Kai's mouth was still stuffed with potato chips as he began to get nervous.
"Bor-Boris?" Kai stammered. He had never seen Boris so angry before.
"Change… Change the number… now…" Boris hissed trying to hold back his anger.

Freya fell heavily on her bed; she could not take all the pressure any more. It was the forth time she tried to call Kai and she was met with excuses of him in the toilet, him studying, him not free and even him swimming…
"Excuses, excuses…" Freya mumbled as she buried her head in her pillow.
Groaning in frustration, she started hitting her bed with her fist and her screams came out as muffled cries through the pillow. The shrill ringing of her phone made her suddenly stop her tantrum and sit up straight with her hair in a messy pile. Making a dash to the phone, Freya yelled to her mum that she got the phone. Picking up the phone she spoke in her sweetest voice.
"Hello…?"
"Hey Freya, Kenny here…"
"OMG, you jerk! You dropped the pill in the wrong drink!"
"Aw, com'on, it was just an accident. No one was hurt and-"
"What do you mean no one was hurt? Kai, 'The Kai' was hurt!"
Freya slammed down the phone and started to fume, she would never forgive Kenny for doing such a thing to Kai. Kai was like a precious diamond to all the girls… Freya stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. A girl with messy brown hair and angry emerald eyes were staring back at her. Her mind started to race with thoughts again as she opened her scrapped book and jealousy flared through her at the thought of many other girls liking him. Kai was going to be hers, hers and hers alone…
.:xxx:.
Nakuru was not angry like Freya, neither was she irritated like Kai, she was excited. Morning met her with splendid news the moment the phone call came. Her eyes weren't focuses yet as the bright sunlight hit her face. Squinting in the warm light shining from her windows, Nakuru slowly pushed her tired body of the bed. The night before was horrible, she did managed to find Kai's butler and he kindly send her home but when she reached home, the lights were already out and she had to spend one hour trying to wake her family up knocking on the door until her knuckles were white and she was soaked to the bone by then.
Slowly sauntering down the stairs, she willed her stubborn feet to move to the kitchen table. Nakuru sat on the chair and poured the cereal into the bowl together with the milk. Her mum was busy washing her dad's already used bowl.
"Where's daddy?"
"He left already," Nakuru's mum replied as she wiped her hands on her apron.
"Oh."
"What happened last night?" Nakuru's mum said as she took the milk and kept the cereal.
Nakuru was about to answer her mother when the phone rang, her mum stood to pick up the phone. After a moment or two, her mum smiled and passed the phone to Nakuru, mouthing the words: Boyfriend.
Receiving the phone from her mum, Nakuru blushed at the thought of Tyson. He had only recently became her official boyfriend to her parents and was still not used to her mum referring him as boyfriend. Answering his call, she tried to make her voice sound normal. She was afraid that her greeting came out as a croaked as it did sometimes in the morning.
"Hi…" Nakuru held the cordless phone and signal to her mum she would be taking the call upstairs for some privacy. Nodding in agreement, her mum sighed. Youngsters nowadays didn't spend much time with parents, maybe some other time she could get some family bonding. Now looking at her teenage daughter climbing up the stairs chatting excitedly with her boyfriend, she turned her back and started to wash her bowl.
"So where were you last night, I kept calling you but your mum said you weren't at home?"
"Oh, I just went out with Freya." Nakuru replied as she sat on roller chair.
"Hmm, let see, two ladies went shopping?" Tyson made a guess.
"Nope, you'll never guess," Nakuru smirked as she started to swing slightly on the chair.
"Don't tell me you two studied…" Tyson chuckled.
"No way, we just went to Kai's house." Nakuru laughed at the thought of Freya seriously studying.
There was a pause and Nakuru felt something was wrong.
"Tyson?"
"What were you doing at his home so late at night?"
"Oh, I just sort of found his room and I sort of… explored the room…" Nakuru remember at the sight of his dark room, it made the hairs at the back of her neck stand.
"So, you did nothing else there?"
"What are you trying to imply here, Tyson?" Nakuru huffed, if he thought she was not going to stay loyal to him, he was so wrong. He was going to be her first and her last boyfriend, or at least for now…
"Nothing and I was just wondering if you are free tomorrow night."
"I suppose I am," Nakuru said slowly, she was quite sure where he was leading this subject to.
"Well then, I'll bring you some where special. Wait for me at 7pm outside your home, I'll fetch you. It's a date, don't forget!"
Nakuru did not know what to say but she did not need to say anything. Tyson had already hanged the phone and she was left with the beeping of the line. Blushing again, she hanged the phone up and tucked a strand of lose hair behind her ear. Getting up she decided to tell her mother about the good news.
.:xxx:.
Pacing back and forth, Rei started to think about Mariah. Maybe he was just too rough the other time; he should not have just stomped on the dam banner. Instead he should try to make her see the heart in him; try to let her see that Kai wasn't the one for her. Kai won't care for her the way he would, he would love and cherish her everything!
Oh, for God's sake, Kai doesn't even know her name!
Growling in anger, Rei knocked his head on the wall repeatedly. He had to get himself together and try to prove to Mariah that he was worthy of her. He needed to do something fast. Maybe take her on a date! Wait he had to apologize first… Gathering all his courage, he had to do it tonight. No, tomorrow night… he had to plan everything.
Rei's worse hated enemy was Kai but little did he know that he and Kai both shared the same compassion. The same feeling of guilt, they both had to confront it with courage.
In Kai's case, he had to apologize to Nakuru for snapping at her and making her feel uncomfortable. Well, to any other guy, snapping at a girl for finding his toy was nothing to say sorry for. But to Kai it was, he had never snapped at any girl before, not even really talk to one personally. Nakuru was the first girl he ever talked to… apart from Freya. But Nakuru was different, she did not clung on to him like Freya did… she just smiled…
Kai sat in his limo returning home from the phone shop. He and Boris, who had specially come along, had just changed the phone line. In other words, they changed number to avoid the entire irritating 'pest calls' as Boris had said. Talking about the girls, he wondered if Nakuru had managed to return home safely. He hoped that he hadn't hurt her feelings by snapping at her.
Will girls feel hurt if guys snapped at them?
Since he didn't know that, he might as well find out for himself when he apologize then. He can't call her; he didn't have her phone number. And even if he did, it would not be sincere enough. He can't tell her in school as well, Tyson would be there and he didn't want to get into anymore trouble. Then he got it, he could go to her home and talk personally. Kai wanted to get over and done with but what a pity he can't today, he had some financial tuition.
"Hn, who has heard of 'financial tuition', some crap Voltaire wants me to attend…" Kai snorted to himself.
"Vernon, did you fetch Hitama home last night?"
"Yes, master Kai." Vernon the driver replied curtly still keeping his eyes on the road.
Boris looked over at Kai, curious at his master's question. Kai had never been concern over a girl before.
"Please tell me the address."
"Are you going there alone by yourself, master Kai?" Boris asked, worried for the teenage boy.
"Yes," Kai looked at Boris with a harsh looked that showed that that was the end of their conversation.
Boris looked out of the window, thinking about what Kai need that girl's address for. If he was going to see her it must be important. Looking over at his master, he pondered whether to inform Voltaire about his sudden decision…

Nakuru looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a black spaghetti dress which ended just above her knee. It was plan and simple yet it showed off her cleavage. She hooked her silver necklace in place and it gently hung down on her bare neck. Tying half her hair up in a small pony tail she brushed her hair straight. Nakuru took her lipstick from her handbag and drew her lips light pink. Smacking them together, she stood up and grabbed her handbag ready to go.
The beeping of her handphone made her quicken her foot steps. It was a reminder she set the night before at the exact time when Tyson was going to pick her up. Nakuru could feel her heart pumping harder then usual as she slowly descended the stairs. The door bell buzzed and Nakuru almost tripped over the last step. Quickly putting on her heels, she paused before opening the door. She tried to listen attentively but there was no sound on the other side of the door. Taking a deep breath, she slowly turned the door knob and opened the door. The first thing she did was gasp.
It was not Tyson; it was Kai, 'The famous Kai'.
"What, what are you doing here?" Nakuru asked shocked at his sudden appearance.
Kai was standing on the porch with his hands stuffed into his baggy pants. He was wearing a long sleeve lose top and his head was bent down. Looking up, his eyes widen slightly at what Nakuru was wearing.
Why is she dressed so formally?
"Kai?" Nakuru asked noticing him looking at her wordlessly.
"Oh, Nakuru I came here to tell you that I'm sorry," Kai said looking to his side.
"Sorry for what?" Nakuru stepped out and closed the door behind her locking it.
"Uh, well, I was rude and I snapped at you…"
"Oh, don't worry about that, I didn't take it to heart," she smiled and stood next to Kai.
"Are you going out?" Kai asked.
"Yes, Tyson's taking me out," Nakuru blushed and walked down the steps, "He's suppose to be here by now…"
Kai looked at her and decided it was time for him to leave; her over protective boyfriend might come any time soon. No sooner had he thought that, a dark blue car turned in the drive way stopping in front of the both. Getting out of the car Tyson stared at Kai then at Nakuru.
"Why is he here?" His harsh tone cut though the air.
"He was just about to leav-"
"No, I came here to talk to Nakuru."
Tyson glared at Kai and Kai looked from Tyson's angry face to Nakuru's worried face.
So, he wants my girl… He's going to pay for what he did to Rei and the rest. I'm never going to forgive him…
Yes, a cliff hanger… MUAHAHAHA! Please review, thanks :)
