Speaking " Dun Dun Dun"
Thinking 'Ding Ding Ding'
Tala's P.O.V
Well then, lets see, today at work wasn't all that bad. Have I ever told you where I work? I don't think I have. It's pretty cool where I work. It's like an organization that involves itself in helping people and aiding them and giving them things they need. That sort of stuff. It also deals with little kids that have been abandoned or left on the streets, basically orphans of any kind.
It's also got a lot of paperwork involved. Normally I'm out either finding the kids or going to places and giving out stuff to people in need. Sometimes, when I want a break, I just fill in forms and do paperwork like that.
I like it here a lot, and I suppose it helps that I've got a high ranking position in the company. I mean, not to boast or anything, but I'm deputy head of the whole company, and you might be thinking… who's the head? Well… I don't want to surprise you, and most likely shock you, but the head of the company is none other then………………………………
Bryan!
Freaked out yet? Don't worry, half of my friends, especially Johnny, Michael, Enrique and Lee, they were close to fainting! After I told them I wasn't joking over a hundred times that it…
I think, it's just that no one would ever think Bryan would be caring or what not, certainly not enough to think of and create a company that CARES and helps people. I think some people still judge him from the tournament.
I mean, once again just like me, Bryan isn't evil. He was brain washed too, probably more so then me. He was kept in isolation for a few years after Boris had found him, before that Bryan had been on the streets, sadly to say. I think that was what Boris used to manipulate him.
But really, Bryan is actually a kind hearted person, okay, at heart he is, you just wouldn't think that cuz of his outward demeanor. He'll still seem a bit stand offish at people he isn't familiar with, but then aren't we all?
It was originally mine and Bryan's idea to start up this company, and since I didn't want all the pressure of being CEO of the company, I let Bryan take over that role, while settling for Deputy instead.
Whew, I'm running quite late today. I overworked myself, the files that would have been done by tomorrow at the earliest; I managed to do them all today. I think maybe it was my sub conscience's fault, maybe because I didn't want to see Kai.
Well… it's just struck past 10:00 pm, guess I better get a move on. Kai should be back by now. Maybe he's worried about me…yea right Tala, that'd be the day won't it? Kai'll be worried about you the day Bryan decides to dye his hair pink and orange and have a three-some with Robert and Gary. Ergh that thought did NOT go well. Bad thoughts, bad thoughts!
Kai's P.O.V
SHIT!
Where is he? Why is he so late? He's not meant to be late! He should have been here HOURS ago! I know he finishes work earlier then I do! It's gone past 10 pm and he's still not here!
I'm getting seriously worried here! Something could be wrong with him, he could be hurt, the car could have broken down, he could be out cold somewhere, or someone could have even kidnapped him!
I swear, if he doesn't come in the next 20 minutes then I'm ringing the police! I've already rang all our friends to ask if Tala's with them, and they've all said no.
Just then I hear the door open and I rush to the door only to see Tala entering, slightly wet because of the rain and his hair is all stuck to his face.
"Tala! Where were you? Why are you so late? What were you doing?" Hey, I was worried, I have all right to ask him those questions.
I see Tala lift his head and I saw a flicker of emotion pass in his eyes before it disappeared; maybe I just imagined it as he seems no different.
"Hi to you too Kai. I was at work; I was working late on some files. Not that I really need to tell you all this, I'm my own keeper am I not? I don't need you to baby sit me."
That stung. He didn't have to be that rough to me. I was only asking cause I was worried. Of course, I couldn't let him no that I was worried. Hell, he'd probably laugh at me or something.
"Well then, next time you're late; you might want to ring home or something so I know not to wait up for you because if you were to come late then I'd wake up. And your food is in the microwave, you can heat it up yourself."
That said, I walk off into my bedroom and deliberately lock the door. We never lock our doors, its like a sign that if we feel lonely or if the past haunts us, then we can come into each others' rooms, and by locking my door shows that I've closed off to him, at least for now.
I start getting ready for bed, feeling slightly angry by Tala's answer, but oddly enough, I also feel rather hurt, and a new emotion that I haven't felt before.
That emotion is weird; it seems to make my heart flutter a bit when I see Tala, although it's only being doing that recently. Hopefully it'll go away in a few days; I don't like this emotion cause I don't know what it is.
Tala's P.O.V
I felt rather bad for snapping at Kai like that. Even if I said I would be cold to Kai, I think I went a bit to over the top. I could see a small glimmer of hurt in his eyes, even though he must have thought he'd had it covered up.
But I suppose it's fair if he feels like this, after all the hurt and pain and misery he's put me through.
So I still don't know why a little nagging feeling keeps saying that he never did it intentionally, that he didn't ever hurt me by purpose.
I try ignoring that little feeling, instead opting to go straight to bed; I don't feel like eating right now.
I noticed Kai locking his door, he must be really angry to do that, guess that means I'll have no where to go if I have another nightmare.
And why does it seem as though I'm going to have a nightmare today? It's a bad omen I swear. I hope I don't, I don't want to deal with my past right now. My life's screwed up enough as it is, without anything else coming to screw it up even more.
I leave my door unlocked just in case, and start getting ready for bed, pausing to dim the lights and get into bed.
My last thoughts before drifting off to sleep were
'Why is my life so screwed up and complicated?" and "Why can't Kai love me back, just once? Why can't I get anything in my life right?"
