Chapter 4:
2 weeks later:
" Here Div," Kai said and gave her the birthday present. She sat down on the couch and unwrapped it. " Ah thanks. I really like this CD," Divano said and smiled. In her hands lay the album " Once " from the band Nightwish. " I know you would," he said. " But how did you get it? We still have our money problem you know," she said and looked at him. " Let's just say that I've got quick hands. You should know that by now Div," he said and smirked. " You really did that for me?" she asked. " You are a good friend Div...You know I'll do anything you ask me," Kai said honestly. Divano looked him in the eyes and noticed an emotion she had never seen before. Love. That was something she had never seen before in his eyes. The thought alone, already made her a little nervous. Her best friend in love...with her? No that couldn't be. Kai wasn't someone who liked all that stuff and she could know it. Though she had to admit that she always been attracted to him. But just like him she found that hard to do. " Yeah that's true. So you have more idea's of things we can do today or what?" she asked him.
" Remember that Kenny guy with his laptop?" Kai said and looked into her eyes again. Her sparkling lavender eyes. " Yeah I do. What about him?" she asked a little curious. " I wanna take a look inside his data. Maybe it will be any use to me and you," he said. " Sure. Go ahead if you want to but how are you going to get that thing?" Divano asked. " I know a way. Once we have that thing, you can start hacking it," he said. " Sure," she answered. " So I need Stewart and the others," he said. " Sure about that? Don't you want me to do that?" Divano asked. " It's your birthday and today you won't do much," he said. He knew she hated that. " Go ahead but I'm helping you hope that they don't mess up," Divano said. " I'll make sure that they won't," Kai said, stood up and left to get his team mates.
Divano muttered a few things and then continued on her training. " You heard me," Kai said to the others, " and don't come back until you're sure that you have the laptop and the nerd." " But, but," Steward muttered. " No buts...get going," Kai semi yelled and left. Sometimes he still didn't understand why they had let them enter the gang. They were just so stupid.
Meanwhile Divano had gone up to the roof again. She liked sunbathing there. She figured out that it would take a little time before Kai would have explained everything and therefore she undressed herself a little. She lay her scarf, her tank top and some other clothes on the ground and lay down with a sigh. This was good. No noise, no one who would be complaining to her all day. Finally some rest. She putted on sun cream with care. She wanted to be sure that she didn't get a sunburn somewhere.
' Stupid asshole. He has to leave real soon. I can't take this any longer,' Kai thought and walked up the stairs. He opened the door and noticed some clothes on the floor. ' Oh God. Please don't let her be doing what I think she's doing,' he thought and coughed. Divano got up with a slight yell and covered her chest.
" Hi," she said with a high voice, a blush and a small smile. " You want me to eh...?" he said and swallowed. She nodded yes quickly. So he turned around.
When she was done, she silently walked up to him. " Ok I'm done," she whispered in his ear. " Next time warn me when you're going to do that," Kai said and blushed slightly. " Yeah sure. But I hadn't expect you back so early," she said. She saw him blushing. " What's that?" she said and closely looked at his cheeks. " What?" he asked slightly upset. " That on your cheeks," she said and smiled. " What?" he slightly yelled. He knew what she was doing and he didn't like it at all. " You're blushing aren't you?" she said and smiled. " Humph," he answered. " Come on cutie...don't deny it," she said and smiled. He mumbled something. " Sure Kai," she said and petted him on his cheek. " Sometimes I still don't understand you," he said and sighed. He placed her head in his hands and kissed her forehead. Then he walked away. He needed to check on how the others were doing.
Divano still stood on the roof. Staring at the place where her friend had been. She still felt the kiss on her head. She knew that he hadn't done something like that before. Not with any one. She felt warm inside and also a little weird.
' What just happened?' she thought. She scratched her head and went downstairs as well.
She found him sitting on the couch and watching some TV. " Hey," she said and sat down next to him. " Humph," he answered. " Come on Kai. Don't ignore me," she said. Divano could see it on his face. He didn't understand what was going on with him. " What's wrong cutie?" she asked. She placed her finger on his cheek and turned his face towards her. " I don't know," he said softly. " Is it about what just happened or something else?" she asked. Kai looked at her. She seemed to be a little worried. " I'm fine Div," he said. " Ok if you say so Kai," she said.
He sighed. How was he going to tell her what he felt inside? What his true feelings for her were. She was his friend since night and day. Fuck why did this had to be so hard? " Argh," he said, stood up and left. Divano sighed as well and then she shook her head. What was going on between them? She knew that he liked her. So why was it so hard for him admit it then? Well on the other hand she knew why he found it hard. He was Kai and he never admitted it when he had something on his mind that was bothering...not even to her after all this years. That was one thing she hated...but she had gotten used to it.
Kai hang his head against the wall of their bedroom and twitched with his left eye. Why couldn't he tell her how he felt inside? He would do anything for he. But then why was his mind telling him that this was wrong? His heart told him to just do it and finally feel some love and devotion. "Argh!" he yelled and banged his fist against the wall a couple of times. He slammed down on the floor and clinged his fists. Divano was still sitting in de other room and heard all the noise. She ran up to him and noticed him sitting on the floor. " Kai what's wrong? Can I help you with something?" she asked him and kneeled down beside him.
Kai looked up and stared right into her eyes. " Divano?" he said softly. " Yeah I'm here," she said and showed him a small and loving smile. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pressed her nose against his cheek. He sighed.
" I hate you, you know that?" he said and looked at her. " Sure you do Kai," she said. He muttered something and gave her a one arm hug. " See...you can't hate me as much as you want me too," she said teasingly. " Ok that's enough," he said. " Do you want me or not?" she asked, ignoring his statement. He sighed and thought for a second. " Fuck...like I even care," he said, " sure." " Well was that so hard?" she asked. " Don't push it," he said slightly irritated. But he knew that she was teasing him. There was less he could do about that.
Sudddenly he felt a warm and soft kiss being placed on his cheek. It felt warm and inviting. He looked at her and saw that she waited for a response. Well he could try it and if he didn't like it at all, well he could always stop it right? Divano still looked at him for an reaction. So he gave her the reaction she wanted. A loving kiss at last.
