Chapter 38: What Was That?
Kimiko's P.O.V.
One week had passed, and the Wedding is in 1 day. "Kim!" I looked around and saw Raimundo running toward me, he did look charming... "What? Is it something about the wedding?" I asked. "No. It isn't, I'm just worried..." he said and looked at the ground. "Rai, everything is going to be fine, trust me." I hugged him and he kissed me. "Thanks Kimiko, I never thought I would get married." Raimundo whispered. "Never get married? With a body like yours?" I laughed. He turned a little pink and then he switched the subject. "Ever since you and I got married, Xian, Clay, Omi, and Jill have been acting all weird..." "Maybe because they are not married, like us!" I said and looked at a window, Omi was looking at us.
Raimundo waved and his head automatically disappeared from the window. "I think we should talk to our friends more often." he suggested. I kissed him again and went to go find them all, usually they would be in their dorms. "Xian, Jill, Clay, Omi! Where are you guys?" I yelled through out the Temple. "Here." said the voice Omi. I could feel... Sadness. "Omi, what's wrong?" I asked and bent down to look at him, what emotion was in his eyes? "Nothing. I am just most ashamed." he replied and went over to the window, it was raining.
"Omi, you can tell me, I'm your friend!" I exclaimed and sat down on the floor. "I just need to ask you something... Did Raimundo 'propose' to you? Or did you do that do him?" asked Omi, there wasn't the usual sparkle of wonder in his black eyes. "Oh Omi, is that what you were worrying about?" I asked and gave him a hug to cheer him up, they always did. "Yes Kimiko. It was." He replied with a little note of happiness. "Raimundo proposed, and I think you could so the same, once Raimundo and I get married.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I had to talk to everyone, I saw Kimiko and Omi, but where was everyone else? Clay's door was open, and I figured Clay would be there, instead; Jill was there. "Hi Raimundo, are you looking for Clay? He was spying on Kimiko and you a minute ago." She said without looking up from her nails. "Is anything wrong Jill?" I asked and sat down next to her. "I don't know. Clay has been spying on you guys a lot, and I don't know if he likes me as much." she whispered and looked at the floor. "No sweat. When I was like that, I loved Kim, but I just needed to think, so I went on walks and stuff to clear my mind, I think he might like you more than a regular old girlfriend." "Thanks Raimundo, you really helped me! Good luck on your Wedding, I hope you are right..."
That wasn't hard. I never noticed how everyone thought about Kimiko and I... I glanced out the window and saw Kimiko sitting next to Xian on the ground and laughing, friendship mattered too, and I needed to talk to them more often. "Hey Raimundo." said a quiet voice, how come everyone was acting like this? Were they jealous of me getting married first? I was younger than Clay... "Some thing wrong Clay?" I said and stared him in the eyes. "How did you know?" he asked and took a step back. I tapped a finger on my head and then he relaxed. "Your funky emotion feelings can get in my head." I responded.
"Let's go on a walk, I don't want anyone knowing about this conversation." said Clay. I shrugged and followed him out of the Temple. "Raimundo, have you ever felt weird around the girls?" he asked and kicked the pile of dirt which was on the ground. "Clay, it's okay if you like your girl more than a... Girlfriend. Why don't you think about this? I went on walks and it cleared my mind."
"I just don't know what to say to her, I kiss her and I... Snuggle with her but I don't really know what to do." he faltered. "It's okay. Just one question: Do you love her?" I waited patiently for his answer. "Yes... But I don't know how to express the feelings." he replied. "You can ask her to marry you." I said quietly. "What?" he asked and blushed. "Marry her. If you love her." I whispered and walked back to the Temple, I wanted to leave him thinking, I didn't know Kimiko told Omi the exact same thing.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
I missed out on so much things I could have talked about with my friends, and they were always there for me! I sighed happily and bumped into Raimundo. "Hey Kim. Did you talk to anyone? They all seem pretty stressed out and jealous!" he laughed and hugged me. "Rai, you are so care free." I said. "I know, like the wind." he finished my sentence and lead me back to our room to continue talking.
"Kimiko, did anyone ask like what happens in a relationship and stuff?" asked Raimundo. "Yes, and it was a bore, Omi says he might want to marry Xian." I chimed, I expected to see a happy Raimundo but he had an awe struck face. "Marry? But Clay... That means..." He didn't finish the sentence, he just drifted into his own world. "I know, but we got married early too, we knew we wanted to love each other forever!" I remarked. "I guess you are right after all Kim." he kissed me and I let him take control... This time.
"Raimundo, that was amazing!" I exclaimed. "Yes it was, you don't expect something bad from a charming Brazilian!" he said and ran a hand through his untamed hair. "Yes, no one can not resist making out with you Raimundo." I replied sarcastically. "Whoa! You actaully agreed with me!" he out his hand over his heart. "Drama Queen!" I yelled and he stopped. "You play dirty." he said and joined me back on the bed. "But you are charming, perfect, and mine!" I retorted and hugged him. "Whatever Kim!" he said and combed my hair. "But, I wouldn't have it any other way." Raimundo said again. "Me neither." I snuggled deeper into his chest. I wish this would last forever... "Kimiko, what did you wish for at the Waterfall?" he asked. "It didn't come true yet." I replied. "Fine be that way, but mine came true. It was tht I married you." "That's so sweet Rai!" I said. I would tell him my wish... If it came true. So far; it was going to.
