When I got home I wasn't plagued by question and hate. Instead Hilary and her mother welcomed me with open arms and asked no questions. I felt like I was part of the family now.
I kept seeing Kai for the rest of the summer. Our bond was growing stronger and we thought that nothing would break us apart. But Voltaire had other ideas and another party was arranged at Kai's. He picked me up and I could go swimming this time. I had a two-piece suit that didn't look anything like a bikini, and of coarse it was black.
Kai tried to be with me but Voltaire showed up and took him away. Irene was with her father and followed Voltaire. The hateful men glared at me but I didn't care. Kai and me were one; no matter what they tried I would still be with him.
KAI
I looked back at Ebony who shrugged with a smirk on her face. She dove in to the pool and I followed them inside. We came in to Voltaire's office and the men took a seat. I stood beside Voltaire behind his desk whilst Irene and her father took the other side. "So it's agreed, the wedding will take place next summer."
"No it won't!" I exclaimed glaring daggers at Voltaire. "Yes you will!" He gave me a death glare but I didn't care. "I wouldn't marry her if she was the last girl on earth!"
Irene's father glared at Kai. "Am I hearing this right Voltaire? You're grandson doesn't want my little princess?" Kai looked utterly nauseated at this precious little gesture. "Have you taken a look at her lately? She's the popular whore at school." Irene looked as though she was on verge of tears. "I told you daddy, that cow turned him against me!"
"Don't you dare say anything against Ebony!" Voltaire looked dangerous. "Ebony is it? You'd better get any ideas out of your head about her." I whirled round and felt anger pulsing through me. "Don't you touch her! You come after her and I'll come after you!"
I stormed outside not caring for Voltaire calling me in anger. I would have to lay low for a while.
EBONY
Kai came out of the house with a shoulder bag packed. He dumped it in the car and came back to the party. He went over to Tyson and asked him something, Tyson nodded and got back to Hilary.
He finally came over to me and climbed down the steps into the pool. "You ok?"
"I'm fine!" He spat making me scowl at me. "Sorry." I smiled and signalled for him to join me under the water. He looked confused and followed me under. I came close and we kissed under the water for a minute or two. But then someone pulled me out of the water by my hair. I didn't feel it but I could tell you I was pissed at the person who did it.
I looked up just in time to dodge a punch towards my face. I ducked down and exploded out of the water jumping on the to side of the pool.
One of Irene's male groupies was trying to swing some punches at me. I dodged them until he had nothing left then I stepped behind him and punched him in to the pool. I laughed to see him struggling to get out of the pool. Kai stood by me and tried to go for him but I stopped him. I looked at the guy with hateful eyes. "Now be a good little doggy and tell your master that she can't hurt me." He took one look at Kai and split. "Why did you stop me?"
"There wasn't any point in hurting him anymore. He's just a goon, just wait until I get my hands on Irene. She'll wish she'd never been born." Kai suddenly looked hateful and walked off. I followed but he was as closed as a nutshell to me. I stopped and watched him walk away.
He turned and looked at me. I thought he was angry with me so I said nothing. "Is there something I should know?" Kai didn't do anything. I wish he would stop it with this cold bastard routine sometimes. "No." How blunt could you get? "Oh, ok. So you're not angry with me then?" Kai shook his head and I breathed a sigh of relief. He came up close to me and smiled. "How could I stay mad at you? You're one of the few that can make me feel good." He kissed me and walked off. But I couldn't help feeling he was hiding something from me.
KAI
Sometimes I could really put my foot in it. I want to be alone but didn't want to push Ebony away. She knew when I should be left to my own devices but she didn't know when I wanted her with me. But now wasn't one of those times. Every time I looked at her it reminded me of the meeting in the office. I didn't want to tell her. Irene was skating on extremely thin ice, one more thing would've made it crack.
I took Ebony home and stayed with Tyson that night. I might have to stay here for a few days until Voltaire calms down. Tyson and his grandfather were more than welcoming. I envied Tyson for having such a nice relationship with his grandfather. I couldn't imagine anything like that with mine.
