Another chapter! I'm really getting into finishing this story. Because it's been such a long time, I'm not going to make any of you wait any longer and post them up together.
Dis is D Disclaimer!- Kai belongs to me? Puhlease! I could never be so lucky.
Kai smiled as he woke up. He could feel her body against his, her tight bottom tucked into his lap, fitting perfectly, her hair tickling his nose. Pressing a kiss on the back of her neck, he opened his eyes. "Morning… Tala?!" Kai shoved his friend away from him with a shudder when he remembered how close they had been, and that he had kissed him.
Tala woke as he landed on the floor with a thump. "What was that for?" He whined, rubbing his backside.
"What were you doing in my bed, Tala?" Kai fumed.
Tala just shrugged. "We came around last night, but you were both asleep. You looked comfortable, so we decided to join in."
Sure enough, Kai looked and saw Spencer, Ian and Bryan in the bed- but not her. She wasn't there.
"It's too early to wake up, Kai. Can't I go back to bed?" Tala yawned, and at Kai's nod, Tala climbed back under the blankets, snuggling up to the other three like puppies.
When he had fallen asleep, Kai quickly got dressed and went looking for her. Remembering the fond tone in her voice when she spoke of the gardens, he decided to look there. He found her sitting on a bench next to a clump of night-blooming flowers, staring upwards at the night sky.
"Hey," he greeted. She spun, eyes wide, then blushed as she recognised who had spoken.
"What are you doing up?" She asked him, noting his dressed state.
"I was going to ask you the same thing. What are you doing out here?"
"I came to think. I come here a lot to think. My dad and I used to look at the stars together." She added. "He always said my mum and brother were up there, looking down at me, and if I ever needed them, just to look up at the stars and I could feel them with me."
"And can you?" Kai questioned, sitting on the cold stone bench beside her.
"Sometimes I can almost feel them."
Neither of them said anything for a while. Then: "Why did you leave? I woke up holding Tala."
She snorted, eyes twinkling, and then as her gaze caught Kai's, she sobered. They sat there for a couple of minutes, just looking at each other. She blushed and looked away.
"Why did you leave?" He repeated. "What did you need to think about? Was it me?"
"Why would you think that? It's not you. Nothing to do with you."
Kai paused. She was lying, he was sure of it. "Okay, I just thought it might be about us, about us sharing a bed all those times."
"Why?"
"Because I liked it and thought maybe you liked it, too." Kai saw her blush again, and wondered what it meant. Did it mean she liked him?
He decided to take a chance. "You like me," he said, hand going to turn her head to face him.
She just looked at him, mortified. "It's okay," she heard him say. "I like you."
How did they even get to this point? One minute they'd only just met, and now… Now she was falling for Kai. Kai the boy who didn't even know girls existed until she came to the Abbey.
"I'm going to kiss you now," Kai informed her.
This was it. Closing her eyes she lifted her lips towards Kai. They didn't meet with his, instead, she felt him kiss her forehead.
"I hope there's more to sex than this. Not that I don't like this, but well, it's not very exciting, is it? I was hoping sex would be fun."
She grinned and opened her eyes. "Don't worry, there's more."
Pulling his head down to hers, she kissed him on the lips, and it was way more exciting than their previous kiss.
okay? It didn't turn out exactly as planned, but I hope it was alright.
