Chapter Eight: Storming Nightmares

Normal P.O.V

When (Aya's) father came home, the smell of Macaroni Cheese greeted him.

"Do I smell Macaroni Cheese for dinner?" He asked, walking into the kitchen.

(Aya) smiled at him. "Hey Dad. Did you make it to work in time?"

"Yes. With 10 seconds to spare."

"Oh, record timing huh?"

"Yeah, you could say that."

(Aya) laughed as she put the dish of Macaroni Cheese in the oven and set the timer. When she looked up at her father he was smiling at her. But it wasn't just any smile. It was that smile. She shook her head.

"You're giving me that look again." She told him.

"(Aya's) father smiled apologetically at her. "Sorry. It's just that seeing you take charge like that this morning reminded me of your mother."

"Really?"

"Yes. Sometimes, you're just like her."

"Is that a good thing?"

"Well, it was never boring."

(Aya) grinned. "I'm glad."

Her father returned the smile. "Yes. Well, suppose I should get ready for dinner."

"Yeah."

As her father walked upstairs, (Aya) began to set the table.

When dinner was ready, (Aya) put a decent amount on everyone's plate.

"Dinner's on the table!" She yelled.

"Alright, alright, no need to shout!" Her father called out, walking down the stairs.

(Aya) grinned at him. "I didn't shout, I yelled."

"Hm. Right."

"Where's Kai?"

"I don't know."

"Well, if I wasn't loud enough, I better go get him." (Aya) said, jogging upstairs.

Kai's Room

Kai was sprawled out on his bed, staring at the ceiling, deep in thought. He couldn't get that phone call off his mind.

#Flashback#

"Leave her alone."

"Oh, hello Kai. Defending your woman, are you?"

"I don't own her, and neither do you, so back off, or else."

"Or else what, Kai?"

"How do you know my name?"

"I know everything about you."

"Humph."

"You like her Kai, I know you do. I saw you this morning, rushing to her side."

"Your point?"

"My point is, if you want this girl around, you better watch her. Or she just might meet the same end as her mother."

Kai growled and gritted his teeth. "Screw you."

"Watch out. Or I might screw her."

Kai growled in frustration and hung up the phone.

#End Flashback#

Kai sighed. 'Do I really like her?" He asked himself.

'Well, figure it out. Do the math.' The little voice in his head instructed him calmly.

Kai sighed again and closed his eyes. Then there was another thing that went back and forth inside his head. That kiss. Kai shivered. Just thinking about it made his skin tingle.

(Aya) knocked on Kai's door. Nothing. So she walked in and flopped down on his bed.

'Is he asleep?' She wondered.

Then, taking a risk, she put her face close to his. "Kai?"

Kai opened his eyes, only to find (Aya's) curious ones staring back at him. He jumped back a little.

"Don't you knock?"

"I did knock."

"Oh."

"Dinner's ready."

"Oh."

The both of them walked downstairs to eat dinner.

When (Aya) was finished, she excused herself from the table and went to her room. After she had a shower, she changed into a blue silk singlet top and a pair of matching trousers. As she brushed her teeth, she heard the rain pounding the roof and the thunder booming in the distance. She shivered.

'I hate stormy nights.' She thought bitterly to herself.

When she was done, she jumped into bed and snuggled under the covers. Eventually, she fell asleep. She began to dream.

(Aya's) Dream

She's asleep in her bed.

She wakes up and it's storming outside.

Her window is open.

She gets out of bed and closes it.

She hears a creak outside her door.

"Dad, is that you?" She calls out, voice quivering.

She walks over to her door and opens it.

Suddenly, a cloaked figure jumps up and walks toward her.

(Aya) screams.

(Aya's) eyes burst open as she woke up, gasping in shock. Lightning flashed outside as she sat up. She looked at her window. It was shut. (Aya) breathed out a sigh of relief. She lay back down again, trying to fall asleep. Through the thunder, she heard moaning noises coming from Kai's room. Curious, she went to investigate.

When she got there, she saw Kai tossing and turning in his sleep.

"No, stop it, leave me alone." (Aya) heard him murmur.

She saw a tear slide down his cheek. She sat on the edge of his and brushed it away. Suddenly, Kai's eyes burst open and he bolted up in bed, causing (Aya) to jump back. The thunder boomed again, shaking the house. (Aya) screamed and dived under the covers, sitting next to Kai. Kai smirked and pulled (Aya) onto his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist. (Aya) felt him rest his forehead on the back of her head. Shivers ran down her spine as she felt Kai blow on her neck.

"Scared?" He whispered in her ear.

"Sort of." (Aya) replied shakily.

"It's just a storm."

(Aya) turned to face Kai. "A storm that's getting the best of me!" She snapped.

The thunder boomed again. She shrieked and wrapped her around Kai, burring her face into his chest. Kai looked down at the trembling form with slight bewilderment. His eyes softened when he remembered what she said earlier about her feeling towards storms. Kai wrapped his arms around the scared girl.

"Look, do you want to stay for a while?" Kai asked gently.

(Aya) turned her head to the side and nodded. Kai felt his nerves twitch as (Aya's) skin rubbed against his own. Kai lay back down, pulling (Aya) down with him. (Aya) smiled and closed her eyes.

"Thank you Kai." She said softly.

Soon, (Aya) fell asleep, feeling secured. Kai reached up with a hand, stoking her hair, wondering what made him all soft-hearted around this girl.
