Yo! Hehe, home sweet home! And I'll take this chance to give you all a late Merry Christmas! n-n
Ok, this chapter is- two times the size it should be… which means the stuff I wrote into this one should be spread in two chapters. But they're not and I'm not changing anything else. Sorry for it being so rushed, and here's a word of advice: Things are not always what they seem, so don't be surprised if something- sudden happens next… heh!
I'll take this chance to add something I forgot on the previous chapter: The "Little Sand Castle" song belongs to the "Annoying Songs Collection" of my friend Lelita. She invented it, not me. It's annoyingness truly annoys me, I swear… Now without further ado, here's chapter 6, with a LEMONade alert as a bonus. Now please don't bug me about it, it's hard doing something like that from a guy's POV. Not to mention traumatic… Now please enjoy!
The Master and The Apprentice
By Ruzovy
Chapter 6: Progress
"Kai, this isn't what I asked you to do…"
I grumbled as I rubbed my knuckles slowly "Well it's what I could manage… I told you I wouldn't be able to get you any qualities on her…"
Nastasha sighed and eyed the paper again "Looks appealing to you when distressed then? Is that it? Seriously Kai, I think you could try harder…"
I looked away blushing "I'm sorry but I can't. I- I don't get it neither ok? Trust me, I want to cooperate as much as anyone in my position would, but that was one hard question."
"So you're saying you're attracted to someone you like nothing about?" she asked skeptically
"Apparently…"
She sighed again "Kai please… your cooperation is extremely necessary… Try to figure at least one good reason…"
"Muh… I- really can't, sorry…"
Nastasha lowered her eyes and placed her notes down. Woo, she really was writing afterall! And how… "Well I'm sorry but I can't help you until you cease telling yourself you don't like anything about her. You- blocked her qualities in a way…"
"What do you mean?"
"That you're making yourself think she has no qualities precisely because you don't want to like her. And since I'm sure she does have good points on her as any normal human being does… I'm insisting. Think about it this way: You wouldn't be chasing after her if she hadn't any good points on her. Whether in her personality or in her appearance. Now please, I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but do not come back without a proper list… Alright?"
I hate shrinks. "Alright. I'll try…"
"Good. I'll see you next week then. Goodbye Kai." She smiled as I got up and shook her hand, leaving the office and the stupid building feeling like crap. What a shitty day. Melody got a perfect score again, which means I'm her slave today, -she only let me out for a while because I told her about having an appointment at a doctor, which isn't a lie- she made me tutor her all afternoon which I was planning to spend sleeping, and now I still have to go back because she wants me to help her with her stupid science project. And now this. But the worst thing is, she said she wants me to cook dinner for her… Not my fault if she dies, I told her I can't cook to save my life. So it's not my fault. But still, WHY ME!
"Hi, Kai-Pie! What are you doing here?" I froze "Well? I thought you said you were going to a doctor… I don't know of any in this area…" Why me…
"To what doctor I went to is none of your concern. Now weren't you supposed to be home? I was going to meet you now…" I turned to look at her. She was grinning like the Cheshire cat. Damn. "I was bored. Oh, is that your car? Goody! Then take me with you and stop by Kevin's place please."
WHAAAAAAAT! KEVIN'S HOUSE? OH HELL NO! Ok Kai, breath, good… I rose an eyebrow, trying to keep myself calm "Ke- Kevin's? What- are you going to do- there?" my eyebrow twitched. Damn.
Melody smiled "That's none of your concern. Now please?" she chuckled and walked to my car, getting in as soon as I did, still grinning. What the Hell? "What are you so happy about?"
"My business only. None of your concern." she gave me a coy smile.
Oh is that it then? "Is this about me not telling you what doc I went to?"
"Maybe…" she sang, eyeing me as predatorily as usual.
I sighed in defeat "Fine… I went to check out how my lungs are doing…" Kai you are such a liar. YOU GO MAN!
She blinked "Your lungs? Why? You don't smoke do you?"
"No, but I used to. I quit recently since I finished college and stopped being so nervous all the time." That's true.
"Oh… I don't remember you smoking when you worked with Robbie…"
"I avoided smoking in the labs. Flammable things you know? And besides, he made me swear I wouldn't smoke near you."
"Yeah, Robbie's paranoid like that. But it's good you quit. You should help me convince my Mom to quit… Damn woman."
"Her job makes her nervous too?"
"Yep. It's pretty stressful. She has to put up with maniac assholes everyday." Not too different from mine then. "But I wanna do what she does when I grow up." When I grow up. That's so childishly typical… But cute. "What does she do?"
"Huh- Oh man… I told him he didn't have to wait outside…" she opened the door just as I stopped in front of Kevin's front yard, glaring at him "What did I tell you?"
He grinned, ignoring her glare "He-llo… And how are you doing? No wait…" he eyed her cheekily "Fine I see… as usual hehe…"
"Right, just give me back my stuff already…" she pouted.
"Aww, but Melly…" he then finally decided to notice me "Oh… it's you… What do you want?"
"I want you to give her whatever it is she wants so I can get out of here already. Now move it!"
"Oh for Cripe's sake, you two are not gonna start are you?"
"He's the one who started!"
Me what now? "Screw you!"
"You wished! You must be so desperate you'd even take some from your male friends. Actually, you've been spending a lot of time with that friend of yours- Garland right? Hehe… At least you have taste."
Calm down Kai, don't lower yourself to his level… breathe… no! Breathe, BREATHE! "FUCK YOU!" I roared and jumped on him, while Melody sighed and walked towards Kevin's house "I'll just help myself then… Excuse me…"
No, don't leave! I pushed myself off the ground only to have Kevin grab my legs and make me fall right on the muddy part of the grass, running over me to follow her in a weird race of his. Damnit! I better go inside before he rapes her…
(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)
"Damn, your brother has a really hard face… My hand still hurts…" Melody moaned as she rubbed her right hand, which had been used to slap my stupid brother after another stupid attempt at kissing her. He's stupid, what am I to do?
She eyed me curiously as I removed my jacket before entering her house and twisted it, making it drip some dirty water. I'm killing that asshole, I love this jacket… "Hum, what happened to you? You're all dirty…"
"Well, it rained yesterday and that asshole made me fall right on a puddle, what am I to do?"
She sighed "Take a shower and I'll take care of your clothes." she unlocked the door and took her shoes off as she went in "You can borrow some clothes from Robbie while yours dry."
"You sure he won't mind?"
"Yes, but only if I tell him. Which I won't, so it's ok. Now huh... wait in my room, I'll get you something…"
I grumbled and followed her up the stairs, going straight into her room while she turned to the first door on the right, Robert's room apparently.
"This just keeps getting worse…" I looked around her room as I started unbuttoning my shirt, taking it off just as she decided to come in. "Ok, I got some- clothes…" she gawked at me with eyes as big as saucer- hey, someone's liking what their seeing hehe… anyways, hey girly, ever heard of knocking? Jeez! "Huh- sorry I- didn't know you were- undressing already I- huh…" she blushed and looked away, hurriedly leaving a pile of clothes on her bed "Here you go, that door leads to my bathroom, huh- there are some towels over there and- huh- I'll be down at the kitchen!"
This is nice… "Thanks."
"NoproblemKai" she said quickly "I mean huh- uh, bye!" she quickly closed the door and I could still hear her hyperventilating and actually- sliding down the door… Weird…
I shrugged and took off the rest of my clothes and going into her bathroom, stepping into the shower and quickly going about getting rid of the mud still caught in my skin and hair. I'm gonna kill that bastard… Hum, this soap smells like Melody… sweet… I mean huh- wash out!
I sighed as I closed the tap and got out, drying myself and growling as I realized I had forgotten to bring the clothes into the bathroom. "Darn luck…" I wrapped a towel around my waist and went into her room, noticing my own clothes were gone, meaning she had probably already taken them to be washed. Good… Hum, actually I should thank her when I see her. Oh, there she is. Wait a minute- WHAT?
I blinked at the girl currently swinging her legs back and forth, sitting on her bed right next to Robert's clothes. "Hi."
"What do you think you're doing here? Get out and let me get dressed!" Damnit I could sue her for this! "I thought you said you'd wait downstairs?"
She smiled sweetly "I changed my mind."
I ran a hand over my face "Melody please… get out… This isn't funny…"
"It's not meant to be funny. There's- something I want to check out." WHAT!
"What the Hell's wrong with you?" I spluttered.
She blushed "Could you- huh- sit?"
"Melody get out please… Don't make me do something I might regret…"
"You are supposed to do what I say!" Damn her for being such a spoiled brat! 'My way or no way!'
"There are limits for everything little girl, and you're going over at least a few hundreds of them. Now leave and let me get dressed!"
"Just sit! I- I just want to try something…"
I sighed in exasperation "Will you leave after whatever it is?"
"If you want me to so badly…" she chuckled and looked up at me, blushing hard. Actually, now I think about it, she hasn't looked at me once since I got out of the bathroom… till now… ok, I'm totally lost here… Damn her to Hell… "Fine…" I tightened my grip on the towel and sat next to her "Ok, now what do you want?"
She blinked at me "You didn't have to pull the towel closer, it's not like I was going to pull it off you…" she rolled her eyes, then looking back at me dubiously, her cheeks bright red as she shifted closer to me. "Fine, then what is i- WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU-" I gasped as she sat on my lap, frowned, and then straddled me, still frowning "What- are you doing?" I breathed.
"Do that again…" she mumbled "How did you do that?"
This time I blinked "Do what? Get off!"
"That- thing you did when we went to see Sasha last week…"
WHAT THE FUCK'S WRONG WITH THIS KID? "You have got to be kidding me…" I rubbed my forehead and laid back, grumbling "This can't be happening…"
"Kai… What's wrong? Can't you do it again?" Oh yes I can… You see, that's the problem. I can do it. Specially if you don't get the Hell off of me! "Get off, this is ridiculous!"
"But I want you to-"
"WHY are you asking me to do something like- like that? That's just- weird!"
She jerked her head "Well I just- it- it felt- nice…" It 'felt nice'? Oh God this cannot be happening… it's just too wrong. "-and I- found it strange cause it- wasn't there before and… Well..." she shifted and- SHIT! "Damnit get- off…" I groaned, trying to push her off me.
She gasped and blinked down at me as my arms fell at my sides, ignoring the fact that I was precariously controlling myself not to jump on her "How do you do that?" she moaned as she- started doing some- quite- explicit- movements… Oh God no… there goes my self-control…
I finally growled and grabbed her arms, rolling over so I was on top of her "What are you doing!" I groaned and squeezed her wrists as my groin tightened "Damnit… Damn you… You- asked for it…" I growled and kissed her, forcing my tongue into her mouth and yanking at her clothes desperately. Damn this is so wrong… but I need it so bad… Besides, it's probably just another dream so… No wait… she doesn't struggle in my dreams normally… "OW!" And she definitely doesn't bite me neither. I am so screwed…
"Kai!" she pushed me off her and watched as I crashed down to the floor, thankfully still keeping the towel in place "What- what's wrong with you? Have you gone mad now? Why did you kiss me! I didn't ask you to!" she squealed.
I growled at her "Like I said, you asked for it."
"I did not!"
"Oh for Fuck's sake, you had Sex Ed.! And even if you didn't, I'm sure your parents or your brother or Hell, even those bodyguards of yours have taught you enough to know that what you were doing had consequences! I told you there are things a guy just can't control!" I spat.
She blinked at me and suddenly blushed "I- my Father said he didn't want me to have that... he said I was too young at the time and still says so… And Robert and the boys always shut up if I ever come in during any conversations involving- well, them and- other girls… so, huh… Can you tell me- what I did wrong?"
This can't be happening… So they let her live in total ignorance? For God's sake! "How can you know so much of some things and absolutely nothing of others… You do know where babies come from don't you?" I muttered.
"Well, yeah of course! I just- don't really know huh- how things happen… Hum, I never had a boyfriend so- I never had the slightest view of what it could be like…" This is pathetic. But it explains a lot… At least that…
"I'm having a talk with your Father… about this…"
"Please don't." she mumbled "Just- tell me what I need to know… I don't want him to think I'm- dumb… or- ignorant or-"
"If you're like that it's his fault! He's the one who refused to let you know something so important!"
She jerked her head and turned around "Can you get dressed before we continue please?"
I dropped my jaw all the way down to the floor "Oh, now you're getting embarrassed! I seriously don't get you!" I growled and grabbed Robert's clothes, putting them on quickly and reaching for her shoulder. Only instead of tapping her shoulder I- ran my hand down her arm... What's wrong with me? "Hm? What are you doing?"
"Nothing… Just huh… where were we?" I quickly took my hand off her.
Melody smiled and turned back to me "Now you can tell me all about it!"
I blinked "About what?"
She blushed "You know… sex!"
OH HELL NO! "It's huh- not my place to tell you about- that."
"So you don't know anything neither huh?"
My face burned "It's not that! It's just not my place to teach you these- things!"
"Why not? You are my teacher…"
"Not that kind of teacher!"
"You're still my teacher. Which means your job is to teach me. So do."
"Melody…"
"You are also my slave for today. So I want you and only you to teach me about the- er… how did Minx call it? Hum… Oh! 'The Birds and the Bees Hardcore Porno Style'. Or- something like that…"
My jaw hit the floor again as she went on "What does it mean anyways?" she wondered out loud.
"Wha- what did you say she calls by that- title?"
"Sex Ed.?" she mumbled "But what does it mean?"
I shook my head "It- really doesn't matter right now… Uh, now, as I said before, it's not my place to teach you those- things. So if you don't mind-"
"Why don't you just call it by it's name! Sex isn't that much of a complicated word! Why does everyone avoid it?"
"That's a typical line of thought for someone who knows nothing about the subject."
She opened her mouth to say something but gave it up and merely pouted, looking away "Well then enlighten me! So I won't live shrouded in ignorance for much longer!"
"Can't I just buy you a book?"
"Fine. But help me with it and go now." She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at me for effect.
"Fine! I'm going! Jeez!"
"Why are you so fired up now?"
I growled in her direction and left the room and the house, stepping into my car and only then realizing what I was about to do. Buy a Sex Ed. book. Me. Kai Hiwatari. Dubbed "The Chick-Magnet" in college. What will everyone think?
(O)
What will everyone think? I looked down at the row of books on the lower shelf and groaned. No. Absolutely not. I sighed and let my gaze linger on the upper shelves, suddenly blinking at the title of a certain book. Private Pleasures. I felt like laughing just for looking at it's pinkish cover. I had a girlfriend in high school that devoured these kind of books. This one time I found myself left alone in her room, bored to death. So I started fingering her book collection and came across this one. I started reading it and I don't think my eyes ever popped out of their sockets that much in my life. Oh my! A girl was actually reading those things! So, I hid it in my backpack and took it home to finish it. It was- a great experience to say the least… it actually taught me a lot about what women want in bed so I don't regret reading it, even though it's not that realistic. Looking back at it's story though, I feel like laughing.
"Hum…" I smirked and took the book with me without a second thought. Who needs a Sex Ed. book when you have a sappy novel that tells you more than you can ever learn in school? I myself learned a lot from it… So now I shall pass that knowledge to Melody. In a way… Well at least now she'll know why it's dangerous for her to straddle a guy's lap and sway on it.
Yeah, it's a good idea.
I paid the book and left the store smirking as Hell.
(O)
"Hum, what's this?" Melody eyes the cover of the book I had just given her "It doesn't look like a school manual Kai, what is this?"
"Of course it doesn't look like a school manual, it's better than one. Now, huh, no matter how weird the things in there sound, I want you to read it on your own first. Then, you and I will talk and I'll clear up any doubts you might have, ok?"
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS IS A NOVEL!"
I smiled and tapped her head "Read it."
She pouted and opened the book on a random page, her eyes suddenly widening to twice their size "OH EW! WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT! YUCK!" she made a face and threw the book at me, her face flustered "What are you trying to pull by giving me something that- that gross! EW! I can't believe she put his- thing in her mouth! What's wrong with people these days! ARGH! NOW YOU GAVE ME A BAD IMAGE! I HATE YOU!"
"Calm down… you had to go and start in the middle of it… Now take it and read it from the first page."
"NO! Go buy me a decent book! Or else I'm telling Robbie on you!"
"That was incredibly mature… Are you three years old?"
"Shut up! It's your fault for giving me something that- gross!"
"It's not gross you little banshee, you just think so because you are inexperienced!"
"Finding something like that not gross certainly does not come with experience! It might come from gradual insanity but definitely not-"
"IT'S JUST A WAY TO PLEASURE YOUR PARTNER! THE OPPOSITE IS DONE TOO YA KNOW? It's not like it's one sided! It's normal damnit!"
She squealed and crossed her legs, her hands buried deeply on her lap "THAT'S GROSS! SHUT UP!"
"Damnit try being a little more open minded will you?"
She growled and lunged at me, throwing us both to the ground "You're sick! You're insane! You're crazy!"
I growled back and grabbed her by her arms, sitting her on her bed "You are driving me crazy! Shut up, calm down and read the stupid book!"
She growled again and threw her arms around my neck, kissing me harshly for a few seconds until I pushed her off me, –I pushed her away? OMG PROGRESS HERE!- gritting my teeth as I spoke, trying my best not to pull her back closer to me "Sit . down . and read . the stupid . book . already!" I sneered.
She bit her lower lip and sat back down, pulling herself further into the middle of her bed and hugging her knees "I'm sorry. I don't know why I did that. I- I'm sorry, please pretend it didn't happen. Please!"
I blinked at her "I-"
"Please Kai!" she shifted back to the edge of the bed and wrapped her arms around me tightly "I- I don't want to get you in trouble…" she whispered.
This feels so nice… I feel warm… I don't want her to let go- Shit no… Don't say it… "Melody… do- do you huh- have you ever been kissed- before me?"
She slowly rose her head to look at me "Huh… N- no… Why?"
I swallowed "I- I'm er, it's not that you're not good, but huh- you- could be- better so I- could- help you improve and huh- and since you- huh- need to learn about these things…" that's right! "Well huh- we- we can pretend it never happened if you want-"
"Kiss me already and shut-!" no need to tell me twice. Oh man what am I doing? So much for progress…
"Kai… close the door…" she mumbled as soon I left her lips alone.
I sighed and got up, closing her door and locking it before turning to look at my- -not student, that's a turn out- my- apprentice… Not too different but it'll do… She sat leaning against her pillows, her hair spread haphazardly around her shoulders, her pinkish lips invitingly open. I could sense she was nervous just as she spoke "Hum… uh, come to bed you- huh, big oaf?" she chuckled nervously.
I smirked and in two steps and an- odd kind of a jump –what's with me?- I got myself on top of her, my mouth hovering just a few inches above hers "Only if you call me Master…"
"I'm the Master today remember?" Melody pouted as I smirked again "No Twiggy…" her nickname just rolled out my tongue before I could stop it "Today, right now, you are the Apprentice… I'm the Master…" I smiled smugly and before she could retort like I know she would, I closed the gap between our lips, pulling back to frown at her a bit "And here's Lesson number 1. You can breathe when kissing."
She blinked "You- can?"
I smirked and twinkled her nose "Use your nose will you? No need to choke."
"Oh." She blushed "Thanks Kai…" she caught my look "I mean- Master…"
"Good girl…" I smirked and wrapped my arms around her small form, pushing back some- annoying little voice that told me to stop to the back of my mind and greedily kissing those forbidden lips of hers. She tasted nice, she felt nice and she- smelled nice. It all felt right. And it was all that mattered to me.
(O)
I sighed as I rolled over, letting my hand rest on the curve of my partner's hip. I breathed into her neck, pulling her closer and reveling in her sweet scent and the feeling of her warm, soft skin against mine "Hmm… I want to sleep…" she yawned "Ssh little one… I'll let you sleep…"
"You've been saying that for half an hour now…" she whimpered, turning to me with a pout.
"Fine…" I pulled her closer and sighed, eyeing a recent pile of clothes laying at the end of the bed. I grumbled and kicked it, making it fall to the floor as I finally laid my head down, looking at her sleepy face for a while until I decided to get some sleep myself. Of course this was a hard accomplishment when you were lying naked with a hard on and the girl you feel attracted to clutched in your arms. And you can't- do anything to boot. Very annoying yes. Specially considering we had been making out for at least an hour until we- got hot and decided to get rid of our clothes and all… She looks- nice naked… Nothing like in my dreams but I expected that. Of course then she had to get scared and ask me to stop… 'No! that- that's too big! It'll hurt!' Oh boo-hoo, it's supposed to hurt! Damn her… Hum, actually I should take it as a compliment… too big heh? Hehe… Beat that Kevin! No, wait… Hum…
SHIT WHAT DID I JUST DO!
Oh shit, oh crap… DAMNIT! How could I lose my control like that! And to think I almost- "Kai… stop moving…" her whiny mumble scared the screaming voices away and got me back to hugging her tightly as I finally fell asleep.
(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)
"Who taught you how to cook anyways?"
"No one. That's the problem."
"I see…" Melody grumbled and pushed me away from the balcony "Give me that pan and let me show you how it's done!"
Yes! "You go and show me then…" I smirked and pecked her cheek, dodging her flying pan and leaning back on the balcony next to her.
"Quit it already!"
"Quit what? I'm not doing anything…"
"Stop laughing!" she blushed "If you- if you didn't like me or what I did or- whatever just say so already and quit making fun of me!"
I laughed "That's not what I'm laughing about…"
"What then? Oh wait, Kai-Pie almost got- laid, so he's happy as Hell. Right."
My face faltered. "Why would anyone be happy for almost getting laid?"
She blushed "Why wouldn't you?"
"'Cause it's frustrating. Do you have any idea of what I felt like doing to you when you started whining about wanting to stop?"
"Oh… sorry it's just I- got scared…" She quickly averted her gaze and started searching around frantically for ingredients "I er- I won't next time… sorry."
"You shouldn't do that."
I heard a frustrated sigh and found her pouting at me "Will you make up your mind already on what you want me to do?"
"Well, I wanted you to go all the way through it yeah, but like I told you, it's not one sided. Don't ever do things you don't want to do just because your boyfriend wants them."
"Then why were you whining?"
"I wasn't."
"Yes you were!"
"Shut up and cook my dinner!" I smirked and dodged her murderous frying pan again, taking my first step to a well thought out escape. Though apparently she read my mind 'cause next thing I knew she was on my back poking her fists into my head "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU- CAVEMAN! THIS ISN'T THE MIDDLE AGES WHEN THE WOMAN JUST HAD TO COOK, CLEAN AND FUCK WHEN THE GUY WANTED HER TO! GRR!"
"OW! Stop! Ow! Sorr- OW! WILL YOU STOP IT ALREADY!" I got hold of one of her arms and spun her around to get her in front of me "Now please, cook dinner since I don't know how to."
She grinned "That's more like it!"
"Don't I get a reward for being nice?" I did not just say that!
"Hm? Well you shouldn't… But sure. What do you want?"
I leaned forward and smirked, to which she rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms around my neck, quickly pecking my lips "This is child abuse."
"Not when you want it too." I smirked.
"Whoever said I did?"
"Whoever said it was a kiss I wanted as a reward?"
At that she blushed and shat up. Which is how I like her best actually. Red and quiet. Kevin was right, she is quite- well not gorgeous… Ok, she is… "Kai? Quit- staring at me like that, you're giving me the creeps!"
"Sorry…" I grabbed her chin and kissed her lips softly, drawing back with a smirk "Now teach me how to cook."
"Lazy bum… What's so hard about it anyways? You just get a bunch of edible stuff, chop them in pieces, season them and put them all together in some pan. That's the way I do it anyways."
"Me too and the result is never nice."
"Well you have to take quantity in account you know? And time so your food doesn't burn. And lot's of other stuff of course. Not too much salt, not too many- onions and definitely not too much pepper… it's not complicated."
I shrugged. This is such woman talk… "I just get whatever's in my fridge and toss everything into a pan."
"And you should never mix certain things!" she grumbled and took a pair of onions I was trying to juggle "Such as-?"
"Such as- well, hot sauce and sugar as seasoning for a stupid example. Since I can't think of anything else at the moment."
I made a face "Indeed. I should have thought of that… no wonder it all tasted bad in the end…" YUCK!
"You didn't…"
"What? I felt like having something spicy and sweet!"
She eyed me uninterestedly and got back to chopping some- vegetables to pieces "Hum, this is the best part. You can picture you're chopping someone you don't like." Lousy comment Kai…
"Poor Kevin. Never let him go near you when you're cooking Kai, you might do something you'll regret."
"I don't think I'd regret it."
She chuckled "I find your relationship weird. I mean, I get along just fine with Robbie, and I always thought twins got along really well and stuff. I never thought I'd ever meet someone like the two of you."
I huffed "We're too different. That's the problem. Now huh…" I eyed the red pepper she was now reducing to pieces "Who are you picturing?" I got myself right behind her, my arms resting on her balcony and caging her on her spot. She smells nice… "Hum, no one you'd know… why?"
"You must really hate them no? You're squishing the thing!" I chuckled as I leaned my head on her shoulder. She really smells good…
She was about to reply when we both heard the front door shut and someone going into the kitchen, both of us quickly turning to see who it was. Melody seemed to flinch a bit when she saw him. Maybe it was her father and she was supposed to be- studying or whatever. He looked old enough to be her dad. Hum, actually, maybe too old. His hair was purple like hers and Robert's and he had crimson eyes like him, only- more reddish… "Hum, good- evening I'm huh-" Melody's teacher… Right, and what will he think? I'm sleeping with her and that his daughter will be pregnant soon and living with some delinquent in some- "This is Kai, a- friend of mine…"
The man narrowed his eyes at me "Boris Valkov… I'm- Melody and Robert's uncle. You know Robert, don't you?"
"Hum, yes…" Uncle? I- remember Melody saying something about an uncle… and it wasn't nice. I looked over at her to find her- was she scared? She seemed so- uncomfortable… "We- we were cooking dinner right now, will you- will you eat here- with us?"
"No. I'm afraid not. I'll be having dinner at a friend's house." he sent her a measuring look "Can I have a word with you?"
"Huh- I- I'm- I'm kinda- busy now… Huh- can it- wait?"
"Now." His tone was mandatory and made her tremble even more as she placed the knife she had been using down and followed him uncertainly as he went into the living room.
I let out a breath I hadn't known I had been holding and rubbed my forehead. My brain was spinning. That- guy, he- made the room's atmosphere so- heavy so- uncomfortable… And Melody seemed quite wary of him… I wonder… I whipped around and looked out the window to find a familiar car parked in front of the house. It was that car I had seen the first time Melody had gotten me into becoming her slave. That time when I heard someone slapping her in her room. Was it- him?
It had to be! Everything was coming together now. That event, the fact that she had said she had an asshole of an uncle, Robert saying she had looked thinner since he left, asking about the presence of a certain someone… What was going on here?
"You're lying!" Was that a smack?
"No… st- stop it! He'll hear-"
"You should have thought about it before you went to him you little slut!" Oh crap no…
"Stop! You're hurting me!" I clenched my teeth and went into the living room quickly, to find Melody on the floor, her shirt almost ripped from her and trying to crawl away from him desperately. Boris stood above her menacingly, his hand quickly clutching her neck and raising her from the ground. "LET HER GO!" before I knew it I was running over to them and my fist had connected with his face, making him drop Melody into my awaiting arms "What do you think you're doing!"
He stood again and pointed at her in a threat "I'll deal with you later… Just you wait. And you! Mind your own business if you know what's good for you!" with that, and leaving me completely stupefied, he turned around and slammed the door, his car leaving the premises in less than a minute.
"What the-?" I shook my head and turned back to Melody, shaking her slightly "Hey, you ok? What did he do to you?"
She twisted the remains of her shirt, sobbing as she threw her arms around my neck, burying her face in my shirt and crying "You shouldn't have seen this- You- you shouldn't have come in you- you shouldn't have hit- Now it'll be worse- he- he'll-"
"Calm down…" I wrapped my arms around her and rocked her back and forth softly "And don't worry, I- I'll call the Police and they-"
"NO! No- you can't! Don't ever do that! He- he can get away, and- and he'll start doing the same to my Mom and- more people will get hurt- he'll kill me Kai, you can't! He'll kill you! You don't know who you're messing with! You-"
"Ssh…" I kissed her forehead soothingly "It's ok… calm down, and we'll talk about this…"
"No… just- forget you ever saw any of this- please…"
"Melody I can't do that…"
"Kai please. I'm begging you…" she all but whispered "You don't know what he's capable of… I- I don't want anything to happen to you…"
I bit my lower lip. This was definitely not the best choice… But I didn't really have a choice to begin with apparently… It'd do me no good to call the Police if she denied everything when they came. And yes, she is stubborn enough to do it. I suppose I'll talk to Robert about this later… "Alright…"
She sighed and tightened her grip on me, drawing back a bit only to lean closer again as she kissed me, desperately seeking comfort apparently…
Comfort which I gave her. Gladly. I also gladly picked her up and carried her up to her room, where I finally laid down on her bed along with her. "Kai… can you stay with me tonight? I'm afraid he'll-"
"I'll stay."
(O)
I rubbed my thumbs as Nastasha ran her eyes over my new list. This one had been filled through all of this past week, taking in account all of Melody's good traits. Which hadn't been hard considering the amount of time I'd been spending with her lately.
"Well, this is certainly a progress… at least now you stopped making yourself believe you don't like her…" Oh you don't know the half of it… And I don't like her. I- I love her… Oh man, so much for progress… "Well Kai, considering what you said to me before and the things I find here I must say things might speed up from now on. We can focus on each and everyone of these points and from then on I might be able to sketch some sort of treatment." Oh, that's great! Did I mention I'm dating her now? And that I go insane if I don't see/talk/phone/have dinner/ANYTHING with her every night? And that I- "Kai? Are you listening to me?"
"Huh? Huh, yes er, sure…"
She cocked her head to her side "What's wrong?"
"N- nothing!"
My dearest shrink narrowed her eyes at me "You're keeping something from me. Did you attempt anything on her recently?"
Yes. And she got scared again just when it was getting good… "No!"
She sighed "Kai…"
"Look, I- I'm trying to keep myself as far from her as I can just so something like that doesn't happen!" Liar.
"That doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Now please, I've dealt with quite a few pathological liars, so I can easily tell when someone's attempting to deceive me. So if you please…" Crap.
I sighed in defeat. Damn woman! The only reason I keep coming here is because I'm afraid she might think I- raped my student and ran off! "Fine I- we- got involved… again…" and over and over again… and I still didn't get anything…
She bit her lower lip and sighed "How involved… exactly?"
"We're- dating…" yeah, apparently not only did she really have a crush on me years ago but still has it… if the way the stutters and blushes whenever I ask her over or out or make myself invited at her home means anything. Damn I'm hot!
Nastasha doesn't seem very pleased… "Kai… If you were going to- start dating your student why did you even bother coming here to stop that exact thing? This doesn't depend on me you know? It depends almost entirely on your self-control and let me tell you, you are not using any of it… How could you?"
"I-" I clenched the fabric of my pants "I couldn't- avoid it… I- I think I- I am in love with her…"
She rubbed her forehead "That explains why your list suffered such a spontaneous growth… It's been a week Kai. One . week since I told you to stop telling yourself you disliked her and figure your true feelings… I never thought you'd take it so- literally…"
This is getting ridiculous. I feel like I'm being scolded. "Well I never thought I'd ever fall for some- brat but I did! And now what? Tell me, Nastasha, what should I do now!" Yeah, Miss Know-it-All, tell me what to do now that I really am hopelessly struggling in her clutches and everything is lost! As if I didn't like it when she hugs me… Or when she makes that sweet as Hell hot chocolate just for me when it rains and I have tests to correct… Or when she smiles just for me… –stop calling me egocentric. I like it that she does stuff just for moi. It makes me feel important and cherished. And that sounded gay.- Or when she- "You will go to your student and finish what kind of relationship you might have."
…
What!
"Wh- what? You mean- break up with her?"
"Yes. I don't get your surprise… I think it's obvious that you should first erase any connection you might have with her and only then think about doing any kind of therapy…" THERAPY? Oh yeah… go on and make me feel like an even worse maniac!
I stood and ran a hand through my hair, pacing around the room "I- I can't do that… What about her?" and her chocolate!
"She should have known better than getting involved with a teacher." Hey, I am her teacher, so only I scold her! "You have a week Kai." A WEEK!
A week. I have a week to- do something that will certainly give me a bunch of headaches. And a Hell of a heartache too. I better get me some aspirins just in case… and something for cardiac arrest…
(O)
Damn rain. Damn luck. Damn shrink. Damn me for forgetting my umbrella. Damn my mother for not having me a few years later than she did. Maybe then I could be with Melody without all these problems. And maybe I'd be lucky enough not to have a twin brother from- Loonyland! Yeah… That would be the life.
I looked up at her house from the front yard and blinked as I saw her open the door and blink back at me before starting to yell "What are you doing! Are you trying to get sick or something?" I watched as she came to me and took my hand, quickly dragging me inside and closing the door behind us "Look at you… you must like it when I do your laundry no?" Actually yes… she's better at working with the stupid machine than I am… "And say something! You're scaring me!"
I looked down at her and sighed, taking my shoes off before I started leaving mud tracks around the house and in a sudden moment of insanity -it had to be insanity- I pushed her against the wall and started kissing her like I hadn't seen her in ages.
She broke the kiss and blinked up at me "Kai? What- what's wrong?"
Screw it. "Nothing." I picked her up and quickly got the two of us locked in her room, both of us sitting on her bed, me pondering on how I'd ask her something like that. Specially considering what had been happening lately whenever the conditions were the same as now. "Hum, can I get you something? No chocolate sorry, but I can make tea-"
"Mel, have you been reading that book I gave you?"
She blushed the strongest shade of red I had ever seen "Huh- I huh… hum… yes… Huh… actually, I'm done, hehe… Er, why?"
I swallowed audibly. Well at least she's not an ignorant anymore… "Any- doubts?"
"Hum, no… I did huh- some research on the internet… So huh, I won't- sit on you like that again… or on anyone… I- get it now… Sorry."
About time too- is that a condom? "You've been snooping in your brother's things?"
She followed my gaze and became red again "Aah… no I- er… Minx gave it to me sometime ago to embarrass me in front of my Mother…"
Oh I see… "And is there any special reason for it to be on your bedside table?"
"Yes… I mean NO!"
I smirked at her and chuckled "You do know what it's for don't you?"
And red again "Yes…"
"Do you- do you mind if I use it?" WTF ARE YOU SAYING?
"Huh? Yeah, sure… What are you-?"
"Let me have you…" Something's possessing me. I just know it.
She choked and dragged herself away from me, still blushing "Huh, now?"
Damn her to Hell… "No, next week…"
"Oh, ok… what da-" I grew tired of her innocent little game or whatever and kissed her desperately. Screw Nastasha, I wasn't giving her up… not now at least… Not when she finally seemed receptive… and offered to make nice sweet hot chocolate for me. "Kai…" she whispered my name while I kissed her neck. She does that a lot. It's nice… "I- I'm not sure I'm- ready… Kai!"
"Relax… your problem is- you're way too tense… calm down… it won't hurt as much… I'll try- not to hurt you…"
She closed her eyes and sighed as I took her shirt off, mine following suit as we once again enrolled ourselves in an embrace, my lips teasing the soft skin above her breasts while she ran her fingers through my hair slowly. "But- it'll hurt…"
"Unless you want to die in the same state as a nun, you'll have to endure it sooner or later. Besides, it's worth it…" stupid- bra things… impossible- to- detach! "It is? How so?" she sent me a look that clearly stated 'Don't quit your day job' and unclasped the stupid item of clothing. Finally!
I smiled greedily and blew at her newly exposed skin, making her shiver and clasp my shoulders. Damn girl's stronger than I thought… ow… "Think of it as wine. It gets better in time." Hey, it rhymes!
"I don't like wine." she gasped as I circled the tip of one of her breasts with my mouth and suckled on it for a few seconds "Trust me, it's all you'll ever want once it gets good…"
"Yeah, but till then I'll have to suffer no? You are such a typical guy… As long as you're happy and you have someone to stick your dick into everything's fine!"
I blinked at her, my eyes as big as saucers. She quickly covered her mouth and blushed, looking away "Where the Hell did that come from? No, wait, let me guess, you heard Minx and Robert arguing again…"
"Kinda…"
"I thought so."
"But- I am right! You men are all the same!" she pouted.
"Well yes, but the same goes for you whiny poor women who do nothing but suffer at the hands of mean old men. You all whine about the same things, and you forget who gets the food on the table and buys you all the stuff you want."
"Fine… We're even… for now! Don't forget who cooks said food!"
I laughed "Don't be like that! You're too young to be having that kind of revolutionary thoughts…"
"Well I'm too young to be sleeping with a guy your age and here I am!" she muttered.
"Indeed you are… here I mean. Now shut up already and leave the debating to one of those activist clubs you have in school…" Yeah! She actually managed to turn me off with all that feminist speech… Damn her… I really oughta rape her now!
"You shut up!" she then gave me those dreaded puppy dog eyes and blinked innocently at me "And please be gentle…"
My eyebrow twitched "Wha- the Hell?"
She sighed "What part of 'eat me already' didn't you get?"
Finally! "Oh. Ok!" I grinned and kissed her, groaning as she made odd attempts at unbuttoning my pants. Next time she calls me an idiot for not knowing how to undo her bra she'll have to hear me about this. She wears pants. I don't wear- bras. So I, unlike her, have an excuse!
I sighed and left a trail of kisses down her chest as I removed my pants and smirked as she pulled her own down, staring up at me with almost liquid eyes, her cheeks flustered. "What are you grinning at?"
"Nothing…" I kneeled and pulled her pants off, tossing them to the floor and placing my hands on her waist as she got on her knees in front of me, right between my legs. Hey, why is she covering her boobs! I told her I like them… What up now? "Liar. You're a perv!" Oh…
"Kevin's a perv. I'm a- female body appreciator." That's right! And I'm the proud owner of quite a few magazines that allow me to appreciate that fine type of art at it's best! Oh Kai you go man!
"Right…"
"Are you going to kiss me or just stand there till your knees start to hurt?"
"Shut up!" she blushed and sealed my mouth with hers as she straddled my lap, which is something I thought she knew she shouldn't do… No wait, she can do it now… Now as in, at this current moment.
I groaned as my hands slid around her back and I leaned forward, her back almost touching the bed "You- should know by now, you- shouldn't- do that…" I said between gasps.
She chuckled dryly and moaned as I finally dropped myself on top of her and our hips ground together "Why not? I- thought you- liked it…" she gasped, her breathing getting deliciously labored.
"That's the problem… it- drives me crazy… You drive me crazy…"
"And I'm damn proud of it!"
Oh yeah? "You little-" my hand traveled down her front, my fingers brushing a certain spot that had her squealing and arching her body against mine. "Don't- do that…" she moaned.
"Why not? I thought you liked it…" I chuckled, biting the soft flesh of her neck softly and pulling her last item of clothing down.
"N- no! Kai!" she bit back a scream as I slid two fingers inside her "Yes?"
"Stop- toying- with me…" she moaned and tightened her grip on my shoulders, tossing her head back as I chuckled and stopped moving my fingers, taking them into my mouth and licking them clean. She tastes nice… "That's just gross…" Now if only she was a little more open minded about oral I'd be a happy guy… "I find it tasty…"
"Eww." I laughed and kissed her, pulling her closer when she attempted to push me away, probably in disgust. "No need to be so disgusted over something so normal." I whispered, my breathing getting heavy.
"I- oughta kill you- that was gross! And you had to go and kiss me too!"
"What's your problem? It's you…"
"That's not the point! You-" she made a frustrated noise and tossed her arms around my neck, kissing me feverishly.
So bloody typical. Not that I'm complaining… I like it when she kisses me. The girl's wilder than I give her credit for… Though not as wild as I wish she could be sadly… Oh well, she'll get there in time… I sighed and got rid of my boxers, lying back on top of her and kissing her back- Damn I'm starting to get- impatient here… Kai Junior wants his fu-un! Where's the stupid- condom… Hn… "What- are you doing- Kai?"
Ha! "Getting the stupid- condom- on…" There! Now come to Papa!
She flinched "Er- Now?"
Oh no you don't! "Calm down…"
"How am I supposed to calm down when you're going to-" her eyes widened as she looked down "Oh no… That's- much too big…" I'm flattered, really, but that's not going to help you now. "I can assure you it will hurt if you don't relax… So calm down… Don't be afraid."
"I- aah…" I kissed her lips softly and leaned my forehead against hers. "Huh- hum, ok…" she sighed and wrapped her arms around my neck as I got myself between her legs, breathing hard as anticipation took over my senses. It made me feel dizzy. No wait, that's not anticipation… "Melody, you're choking me…"
"Oh, sorry… Hum, when are you going to-" she gasped as I wrapped my arms around her and leaned forward, slowly sliding inside her "Ow…" she whimpered "It- hurts…"
I could see tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. Aw please… no dramas… don't ruin it… "Ssh… relax… it'll feel good in a while…but you need . to . relax…"
"But-" I silenced her with a look "It'll be ok. Trust me. You- do trust me, no?"
"I- I do… I trust you…" she pulled me closer, drawing me deeper, which made me groan in turn "Hold- on…" I breathed and gasped as I slowly started rocking into her, gradually increasing my speed when she seemed to finally relax and enjoy it. If her moans meant anything… "You ok?" I grunted.
She nodded quickly and moaned loudly as her nails raked down my back. Ouch. I'm going to feel that in the morning… "Just- don't- stop…"
I smirked and deliberately slowed my pace "So now you like it? I wish you made up your mind on what you really want…" my smirk grew as she whined in frustration and forced my mouth to hers "I said- don't- toy with- me…" she groaned as I sped up again, fisting her hair and biting my lower lip to hold back a moan. I ain't moaning… Hum… she looks just- gorgeous like this… And I'm the only one who's ever seen this side of hers… She- she's- mine… "Mine…" I shuddered and bit down gently on her neck, sucking on the sensitive skin hard enough to mark it. And make her release one of those nice moans of hers of course… "Kai! I- I-…" her voice hitched up in a squeal as she tossed her head back. Don't tempt me to bite that pretty little neck again… 'Cause I will… "Yes?" And I just did… hehe… "Kai- I- I…"
"W- what?" I'm- coming here- can't we talk- later… "I- don't know- I- I want- I feel-" and so is she apparently… Good. This means I don't need to hold myself any longer for her sake. "Shut . up…" I groaned and kissed her with bruising force as it happened, swallowing her cries and mine in the process. I don't want to alert no nosey neighbors…
Melody gasped, breathing hard as I got off her, my breathing equally labored as I wrapped my arms securely around her small form, pulling her closer to me, her back against my front. I need some sleep… "I hope- this time- you're happy and- let me- sleep… 'cause if you don't-"
"Ssh… I'm too tired to argue with you now… later…" I mumbled.
"You are such a typical male…" And damn proud of it…
"Anaconda…" I warned. I'll squish her if she doesn't get to sleep soon…
"Sorry…" she sighed and snuggled back into me, her arms wrapping themselves around my own. "This time you cook dinner." She mumbled almost inaudibly.
"Sure…" DOH! I did not just say that!
(O)
Damn.
"Kai, you forgot the salt…"
I hate cooking. "Where is it?"
She jumped off the table and promptly gave it to me "Here!"
I smiled and leaned in for a kiss to which she jumped back and waved her finger in front of my face "Dinner first. And you better please me."
"Gee, thanks. That's gonna leave me in celibacy for the rest of my life."
She chuckled and kissed me tenderly, to which I deftly put the salt back on the counter and wrapped my arms around her, inching closer to the table. Hey, a guy's gotta take his chances!
"Melody? KAI?" OH CRAP!
We broke apart with the speed of light itself apparently and stared at the door dumbfounded. Oh crap indeed.
R&R PLEASE! n-n
