I hope you guys like this chapter. And keep reviewing, those reviews really made my day! Enjoy.
Chapter1
"Kel, he is so handsome. I would rather be chased by a shark then rescued by him than sitting on the beach talking about him. It's more romantic." Yuki said dreamily, ever since she came back from the little drink that the blue-eyed lifeguard brought for her, Yuki hadn't stopped talking about him.
"Um-hum." Kel said absentmindedly. She was thinking her own thoughts about the same guy. She remembered his warm mouth on hers, his eyes and his broad, strong looking shoulders. She found herself wondering how comfortable it must be when she leaned on that same tanned, muscular body with a strong arm wrapped around her. Kel ignored those feelings, she wasn't even sure he noticed her if she was not chased by a shark. But something about him left a hollow space in her heart.
"…and his name is Dom. Ah, Dom, he will be my true love…" Yuki rattled on.
"Oh, please! Don't you have a boyfriend somewhere!" Shinko looked up from her magazine, "and I bet you will find another guy to sweet on within a week and you would dump that Dom guy on the same day like you did to your last boyfriend!"
"No way, Dom is for me and I can feel it!" Yuki rushed to her own defense.
"How would you be sure he loves you back?" Shinko shot back.
"If he is so willing to buy me a drink and a lot of sweets," Yuki started and Kel almost laughed, Yuki was big on sweets. "I think he loves me enough to take a walk with me and he flirted with me too!"
"For all you know, he might be trying to get rid of you, buying you a drink and some sweets, Yuki!" Shinko argued. "And a walk? He asked for that or did you?"
A blush crept into Yuki's face and she looked flushed. "No comment on that, Shinko. It's none of your business. He loves me and that's the fact!"
"Still, how can you be so sure?" Shinko asked. "For all you know, he could be married and yet, you flirted without knowing?" Shinko asked, "I wouldn't do that!"
"Stop it, you guys! I invite you two over to my cabin for the weekend because I wanted us to spend some times together, not for you guys to fight!" Kel snapped at both of them. Shinko was right; Kel shouldn't take Dom so personally, what if he was married already? A very big headache threatened to overwhelm her, Kel stood up. "I'm going for a walk, by myself. I have thoughts to sort out…by myself!" Kel add extra pressure in her words as both Yuki and Shinko opened their mouth to protest. Without wait for them to say anything, she was out of the door. But not before she heard Shinko remarked, "Don't you think we should go after her? After all, she was almost drowned today…"
Whatever Yuki said was lost in the wind as she run down her driveway of her parents' cabin and walk toward the mall at the corner.(it's truly her parents' cabin, but she was just saying its hers to stop the arguments.) Somehow, she wanted to get as far away from the beach as possible, but the thought about that lifeguard was always not far away.
She was there for vacation, not to worry about getting a boyfriend. In fact, she didn't want to have any boyfriend just yet, the last one broke her heart and she had not yet recovered from that blow.
As she approached the centre of the little town where most shops lined up, she began to window shopping. Suddenly ahead of her, she saw the blue-eyed lifeguard. What was his name? Dot? Don? No, Dom, yes that was it. Dom. She was about to call out to him and say a thank you when she realized that he was with someone else, someone he was holding so close…
Kel wasn't watching where she was going and walked into a little girl who was sucking a lollipop. The little girl started to cry. Her mother walked over and picked up her. "Watch where you are going!" The woman warned. But Kel wasn't listening, as soon as the girl started to cry, everyone on the sidewalk turned to stare. Kel quickly ducked into a near by shop and hoped Dom haven't seen her.
Kel had longed to comfort the girl, but she didn't dare to let Dom know that she was following him. She had a reputation among her friends as the Protector of Small and mostly that was true. Because of her size, she settled cases of bullies one over another, she had rescued tons of small kids to be punched or their money been stolen over her years in school and it was time she had a reputation of it.
Casually pretending that she saw enough of the shop, she walked onto the sidewalk again. Dom and that girl were already two blocks ahead. Kel hurried to catch up, when she was close enough, she saw with horror that they were kissing. Their bodies were so close together that looked like they were glued together.
Kel turned away, embarrassed and thought that Shinko was right; he did have a sweetheart already. Something made her to look at who Dom was kissing again; she recognized who he was holding immediately. Spoiled Raina!
Raina was one of Kel's school mate, they were always rivals. She was very spoiled by her super rich dad and adored by boys. The only tragic in her perfect life was that her mother's death. Her mother had died giving birth to her, but she always had a choice; either she lives, or Raina lives. She chose Raina and died shortly after the unsuccessful birth. Raina was a very pretty girl, she have long lashes and big blue eyes. Long blond hair flow past her waist and sparkling jewels anywhere she can manage. It's a boy's dream to marry one so rich and so beautiful; however they couldn't see pass the person behind the blond who didn't care about others unless she had to care in order to get what she wanted.
And now, Raina was going through the 'care' part in order to marry Dom, she was pretending to care about Dom just to marry him or some other reasons. Kel peeked at the couple again. They were sitting on the edge of a water fountain. Dom said something and Raina laughed at whatever he had said and then said something in return. Kel pulled up her hood and walked casually but really slowly past the couple.
"…Who else did you invite to our wedding?" Raina said sweetly, battering her eyelashes.
"Oh, Owen, you know the one who always say, 'it's so jolly…'" Dom paused.
Raina laughed. "Who else?"
"You know Owen's pal, Merric? I invited him too. Oh, and there is my teacher, Roaul, he was married to Buri; we went to his wedding this spring. Remember him?" Dom asked Raina and looked down at her leaning on his chest. Why didn't he felt as thrilled at her action as the unconscious girl this afternoon made him feel?
"Yes, yes. Oh, Dom! I can't wait for our wedding day. I wanted it as perfect as Rowl and Buli's." Raina sighed.
"It's Raoul and Buri dear." Carefully, Dom corrected.
"Oh, yes, of course." Raina said carelessly.
Kel had heard enough. Turning on her heels, she stomped away. Knowing fully well when she broke the news to Yuki, she would be heartbroken.
And Kel's.
How did you like that? I introduced the fiancée, at first, I wanted someone from the book, but I couldn't think of any, so I just made up a character. Please review, it really makes me happy…very happy!
Thanks

Sorceress Shadow Rain.
Shyllaa: I know! I love the fluffs too.
jasmineb: Then I'll carry on. And if I'm making this a KD or DY fic, Dom has to get out of that fiancée! Just watch how I put those two together. LOL
nativewildmage: I'm like you, starting so many good stories but never finish one! I might not kill that fiancée but I will hook those loving birds up! I'll update as soon as possible.
On top of cloud 9:I'm sorry that I jumped into conclusion so quickly, but I just assumed you like KD or KN fics! Sorry but thanks. And I'll keep going.
Ms.Aly: I'll add another chapter as soon as possible. Thanks for reviewing!
USNA to lazy to log in: if you think so, I'll continue this. Truthfully, even if you guys said I shouldn't, I will still continue with this. I had so many good ideas that I feel like bursting! LOL
The Hobbit Lass: Modern day stories are easy to write. Especially this one, in the book, Dom and Kel never had any magic so it made this story easy to write. I agree with you about poor Dom, but I'll hook him up!
thingy of um thingyness: I'll continue! I promise.
Sunkissed Guacamole: it's modern Kel now. Glad you like this story. I'll bring Neal into the picture soon enough when I felt Yuki had enough with Dom. LOL
