Chapter 11- The party! 'Him and Her' part 2

A few minutes had gone since Ying had left, and Kai was still standing against a wall alone, now drinking a new bottle of some expensive brand beer. The scene of the party was still alive, as the loud rave music kept pumping on, while the students enjoyed themselves and danced endlessly. Due to the terrible events that occurred before, and the radiant atmosphere he was surrounded by, Kai kinda feel a little dead inside. He automatically gulped his beer in one go, raising the beer bottle up to do so, then swallowed it in one go and removed it, as his eyes widened instantly at the sight of someone.

It was her…

Kai eyes automatically locked onto hers, causing Kai's body to have a impulsive domino effect.

Kai's heart started beating slower, it was a reaction he never had or felt before. His ears now blocked out the sound of music that surrounded the area, and his body became tense. The end of his fingers were tingling like if some sort of sensation or magic had stuck it. His brain and thoughts went a bit dead, just by taking a glance of her. This also effected the his level of breathing to which had speeded up, as he was now slightly gasping for air with his mouth opened a little. His tongue went extremely dry by seconds, almost feeling like a dry sponge without water. This domino effect was ruining all his bodily senses, and Kai could care less. Although his body was reacting crazy, inside spiritually, he felt really warm and safe. He had this feeling with her before, when they both got stuck together in the basement a few weeks ago. And at her house when they hugged. Both scenarios gave the two time to bond, which Kai fondly remembers. Nothing in this room or on this green Earth even mattered to him right now, because he felt like they were only two people on this world.

Him and Her.

It took awhile before Kai finally blinked, and when he did his brain went into overdrive. His mind instantly filled itself with thoughts based on her presents. Her gorgeous smile…Her dusk brown eyes that lit in the lights….Her silky long brown hair…Her creamy peachy lips…Her glossy long legs…My leather jacket! Huh my leather jacket!? Kai mentally thought to himself, as he repetitively blinked in a quick unison to see if his mind was playing a trick on him or something. However he was proved wrong when he saw it clearly, there and then. The girl he had been waiting for desperately all night, had shown up looking wearing his jacket with a huge smile on her face. This had to be a subtle gesture for him he thought, as he had received many from countless girls before in the past. Seeing this Kai was surprised, shocked and a little turned on. It wasn't the act that drove him a little crazy inside, it was the fact that it came from her. A few weeks ago she would have never did this, and here she was standing there all sexy like, Kai carried on lost in thought.

Boy was the 'Ice Queen' melting before his very eyes.

In reality Kai was spilling down his beer from his hand since he was so lost in thought, just by the look of her. In his left hand the beer just poured down onto the red carpet, which attracted attention from some students. Jinora whom was at the other end of the room, with her sister, best friend and her boyfriend, could see Kai staring at her with his enormous green shiny eyes. He looks amazing Jinora thought, as the cool and slick outfit he wore really complimented him well. He really stood out from the crowd. Seeing him standing there alone gave Jinora a bit of 'Deja vu' to the day she first saw him alone on the school bus, looking call and collected. Jinora blushed a little at the thought of this, however it did help to ease her anxiety a bit. However the longer Jinora stared at Kai, the more he looked a little mesmerised Jinora thought, since he never responded to her greeting as she waved to him. She thought maybe he never saw her, but that was proved wrong since she his eyes never left hers. Seeing this Jinora felt a bit confused, and scared. ''Ikki I don't know what to do, I waved to him but he didn't reply.'' Jinora said turning to Ikki with her hands on her shoulders, now holding her little sister firmly. Ikki now took Jinora's hands off her shoulders, and giggled ''Jinora your so clueless, it's okay. It's you thats making him do that.'' Jinora now turned looking even more confused ''What does that even mean?'' Jinora yelled as Opal began to laugh ''Jinora, Kai is just having a bit of a moment, he is a little stunned by your prescents and appearance.'' ''Thats true Opal, so just go over there to him okay?'' Opal now left with Bolin to go dance, and Ikki now saw Skoochy who was at the corner of the room with other students who were getting drinks. He smiled happily and gestured for her to come. ''Jinora I see my date, so I'm going to go now okay.'' Ikki said happily, while Jinora grabbed her sisters arm, and just looked back at Kai who was just kept staring in a hypnotised state, ''Ikki please you can't leave me. I thought I could do this, but I can't. He really looks flustered, amazing, gorgeous and cute all in one. How am I going to talk to him, knowing that the way I look is effecting him.'' Jinora cried out all in once, as a desperate cry for help.

Ikki just laughed once again at her older sister, and staring back at a now mesmerised Skoochy. ''Jinora where is all that confidence you had before? Look in the magazines I read it says when you go on a date, be yourself but charming, sweet, assertive, confident and also be hard to get. Let Kai work. Okay I really have to go, my date is waiting for me. Good luck.'' Ikki said now practically walking away from Jinora, while Jinora mumbled back the same. How was she going to get through this Jinora thought, feeling her anxiety levels reaching up. Why does he have to look at me with those stupid beautiful green mesmerising eyes? And why does he have to be so damn cute doing so, Jinora mentally screamed at herself. With nothing else to lose Jinora decided to take Ikki's advice, even though most of it sounded like pre teen garbage, Jinora was not advance in 'this' area so she took what she got. Taking in three deep breaths Jinora began to walk forward in Kai's direction. Although Jinora thought it would be a challenge approaching Kai, the real challenge was walking to him. There were so many drunk, tipsy students dancing or simply drinking too much to even notice wear they were going. Jinora often had to move to the side, and excuse them while doing so. And she had to do this while wearing high heels. High stinking heels Jinora thought more like, since not many girls even wore them to the party, so Ikki made the two over dress a bit too formal and classy for this party. Some girls came in short martini dress and boots, while others came in cocktail dress and small heeled shoes. Even while walking she saw and felt Kai staring at her, like she was a greek goddess or something, which made Jinora feel very amazing, flattered and nervous at the same time. As she walked closer she could see that she was almost there, and as she looked at Kai she saw his beer bottle in his hand spilling downwards towards the carpet. Seeing this Jinora walked quickly, got to him and removed the now empty bottle from his hands, and place it on bin not so far from where Kai had stood. Doing this out of instinct, brought her anxiety levels went down.

Now the two were face to face. He looked directly into her dusk brown beautiful eyes with a flustered face, while Jinora stared into the his eyes that looked like green orbs. Jinora's heart began to beat faster, and the anxiety that just left her a second ago, came back in full throttle. Kai was making Jinora feel a lot of feelings at once. First she felt butterflies in her stomach, roaming around crazily making her feel nervous. Then she felt a a warm and fuzzy feeling emerge from inside her. It wasn't a instant heat, but more of a loving passion. She didn't know how she exactly felt herself, but she knew she had a sense of comfort around Kai, making her feel somewhat safe. She felt this way when she opened up to Kai in the basement. But now she is feeling this, by just by standing next to him. If one thing was clear it was that Jinora knew that Kai wasn't just a friend. A friend was someone who is there for you, accepts you and cares about you. Which Kai was but he was more than that. They have a bond that is transactioning over friendship. The sudden glanced they gave each other, the awkward silences, intimate gestures, getting to know each other and forming a bond. It was all new for Jinora, it was a amazing experience which she wanted to last forever.

''I have to say something'' Jinora mentally screamed at herself, ''Ikki said I need to be assertive and confident'' Jinora remained herself as she breathed in slowly before she spoke. ''Hi Kai, sorry I'm so late. See I got dropped here by my friend, and…um there was traffic in the roads so… it kinda to..took me and my sister sometime to get here.'' Jinora spoke loudly so Kai could hear her over the music, and she tried her best to sound confident by over pronounce her words, speaking a bit slowly and trying to sound calm. Even though she spoke it masked her nervousness, because she was nervous as hell. Although Jinora asked this Kai on the other hand didn't reply, he just continued to stare at Jinora. ''Am I doing anything wrong?'' she thought mentally. ''Gahhh why can't you talk to her!?'' Kai thought in annoyance towards himself, since for the last few minutes all he could do is look flustered the whole time. ''Man her eyes are all on me. I can't mess this up. Speak! Damn I thought she looked amazing without makeup, but she with it she looks flawless. Sexy. Stunning. I really wanna lean down and…

''Kai are you um…okay!?'' Jinora said firmly and quickly, hoping he would answer her, her voice brought back him back to reality, allowing him to finally speak. ''You look beautiful.'' Kai whispered slowly which caught Jinora by surprise, ''T,Thank you. You look amazing to'' Jinora squealed trying her hardest not to blush in front of her date ''…I mean you really look nice in that jacket. '' Kai tone had changed from soft whisper to husky one. Jinora could see that her subtle gesture had worked, which she was extremely happy with. Now she had to act passive she thought, recalling the steps Ikki had told her ''Oh I thought you might like it.'', at this Kai raised an eyebrow and gave a little smirk, ''Did you wear my jacket on for me?'' he asked yet again with a husky voice. Kai lick his lips a little as he stared at Jinora, causing her to blush and bite her lip in response. Oh why did he have to look so attractive, with his stupid big eyes, messy uncut hair and his the stupid way he licked those his lips. Those lips were 'stupid' indeed. They both went quiet for a bit, as the glanced at each other until Kai broke the silence. ''So do you want a drink or anything?'', Kai asked smiling now putting his hands in the pockets of his blue slim jacket ''Um yes but anything non alcoholic please.'' ''Well is water okay, because pretty much every drink here has alcohol in it.'' Kai asked Jinora again, while walking to get her a beverage ''That's fine.'' Jinora quickly while he walked towards a big oval table with alcoholic drinks on it. There was a metallic bucket with ice and bottled water inside next to bottles of alcohol, seeing this Kai picked a bottle of iced water and a bottle of a fizzy alcoholic beverage. As he turned back to look at the direction Jinora was in he could see a guy talking to her. From where he was standing it was hard to see so clearly over the sea of bodies dancing, but he could see there was someone next to her, talking to Jinora and being rather touchy. This caused Kai to get extremely jealous. He didn't want other guys checking her out like she's a piece of meat or something, it drove him crazy even thinking about it.

''So you wanna go somewhere…private?'' ''No thank you, sorry but I have a date so could you please leave, I'm feeling very uncomfortable.'' Jinora said calmly and quickly now moving away from the stranger who appeared to be gawking at Jinora. The stranger ignored Jinora's words as he put his hands on her hips forcefully pulling her foreword. In self defence Jinora pushed the stranger backwards, causing him to lose his balance as he used his arm to break his stance on the wall. ''Sorry.'' Jinora said quickly with some concern. See the thing is Jinora is a pacifist due to her spiritual background, so she didn't like hurting people unless if was for self defence. ''Oh I see your a feisty one, aren't you?'' the drunk stranger went off now grabbing Jinora's palm, ''Stop!'' Jinora yelled trying to remove the strangers gripe from her palm. All of a sudden she felt the gripe let loose, looking down and rubbing at her palm. Jinora then looked up to see Kai standing face to face with the stranger, as she stared longer she noticed that Kai had an angered expression on his face. ''Aye she said you should stop. So I suggest you just leave, got it?'' Kai said firmly while staring the stranger down, at this there wasn't anymore motivation for him to stay so he decided to leave. Kai now turned to Jinora and raise his hand out to give her a bottle of iced water, ''Here you go.'' Kai said with a small smile, ''Thank you for helping me.'' Jinora said taking the bottle, returning back a smile. Jinora and Kai instantly indulged into conversation from then on, about anything really. Jinora felt very happy since she learn't that Kai loves rock bands, art, mystery cooking and making recipes, and likes to street dance. Jinora a bit at ease now, knowing that she didn't have to rely on Ikki's 'advice', while Kai just felt relaxed and comfortable. ''You dance?'' Jinora said happily with open eyes, ''Yeah I sorta do, I mean I don't do any fancy styles or anything. I do street dance.'' Kai said shyly while Jinora just smiled, ''Wow Ive never met anyone who that's did that type of style.'' ''You dance too? What style?'' Kai asked gleamingly ''I do contemporary dance. I've been doing it for years.'' Jinora replied back, ''Oh wow that sounds so artistic. Hey is that why you were wearing tank top and spandex, the day I came to your house?'' Kai asked chuckling a little, ''Um yeah I was dancing.'' at this Kai kept on laughing and Jinora nudged him playfully. This date was going perfectly.

The banter went on for sometime until a certain indie pop rock song came on from the stereo, causing Jinora to bop her head a little to the music. Seeing this Kai knew that she wanted to dance but was too shy to ask him, so he happily took the bait Jinora was giving him. ''Jinora.'' Kai said calmly, ''Yeah.'' she replied still bopping her head to the music ''Do you wanna dance?''. This caught Jinora by surprise. How did he know she wanted to dance? she thought, I was just bopping my head a little. '''Well?'' Kai asked again 'Umm I…'' Jinora said fidgeting with her fingers, ''Come on, this song is kinda catchy.'' Kai stopped and put out his hand ''Dance with me?''. His long tan golden hand reach out towards her, and she took a deep breath before taking his hand. A bolt of static shock rushed through the two as their hands touched. Their eyes connected for the millionth time today, as he pulled her into the crowd of swarming bodies. Kai stopped in between the crowd, within an area where there was enough space for them to dance. He held Jinora's hand, then he began to move to the beat of the song and oh was he moving. At the start of the date Kai was no nervous, while Jinora had more composure however the tables had turned. Jinora just stood stiffly while Kai held her hand. He body was like a melody, swaying it's way within the music which made Jinora feel a little bit flustered, by just watching him. ''Come on Jinora, let lose a little bit.'' Kai said calmly while pulling her a little close, ''Sorry.'' Jinora now looked down, while Kai put his free hand under her chin, and lightly tilted her chin upwards. ''Don't be Jinora there's nothing for you to be sorry for. Just enjoy yourself and open up, remember you've did it before so why is now any different? Show me some of you contemporary moves''. By the way his said that, and those words alone Jinora could just melt, which caused her to giggle a little. From those words Jinora decided to take Kai's word, so she removed her hand from his and took of his jacket which she was wearing. It revealed her black slim short jumpsuit, with covered arms and a V neck and Kai's eyes widened in interested from the state of her. The outfit looked stunning on her and Kai couldn't agree more otherwise.

In surprise Jinora dropped the jacket on the floor, took off her heels and grabbed onto Kai's hand, ''Let's dance.'' Jinora said happily making Kai smile. Kai twirled Jinora round and brought her in and out, as they pulled apart still holding hands. He pulled her back to him swiftly, causing her to blush as he smiled at the sight of her. Jinora then let go of Kai's hand, moved back and did pirouettes in a circle unison all around Kai, ''Showing off are we?'' He smirked ''Maybe'' Jinora playfully bit back. He grabbed her hand again and pulled her close, and the song changed. It was a catchy song that everyone knew, and it had a particular choreography to go alone with it. ''I love this song.'' Jinora come out, ''So do I. It's so catchy.'' Jinora now squeezed Kai's hand a little, ''Do you know the moves to this song?'' ''Yeah I do, you wanna do it.'' ''Absolutely.''

The two both unlocked hands, moved some inches away from each other, and faced each other before dancing. At the hook of the beat the two were off dancing in a unison. They both span, stopped pumped their right fist in the air two times, and brought it down near to the core, while using their free arm to grab the each other. Jinora span as Kai pulled her in, and dipped her down while she shot her head down. At this Kai got a really good view of Jinora's neck, which turned him on a little by the glance of it. Jinora kicked her left leg out and gave out a small giggle, as Kai pulled her in and turned her to his back. By that giggle Kai could tell Jinora was starting to enjoy herself. Jinora then put both hands out straight and Kai held the edge of her palms, as she swayed her arms and boogied to the floor. While doing this Kai let go and took a few steps back as hunched Jinora into a secure position. Kai then jogged forward and did a backflip over Jinora, landing in front of her as she boogied her way up. They both started to get heated up. This started to get the attention of other students as they stopped dancing and gave the two room, to watch them. Even Ikki, Skoochy, Opal and Bolin were watching in interest. After she boogied, Kai and Jinora started to pop and lock in unison, like they were mirroring each other. They then stopped as Jinora fell back into Kai as he held her upwards, while she lifted her right leg in the air. He then lifted her up, as he swiftly moved forward and then placed her down. Jinora then turned back to Kai and pushed him backwards playfully with a smile, as he moved back slowly with a cheeky grin on his face. Forgetting that they were even dancing to the song or even at a party, Kai held Jinora's hips and lifted her upwards, high towards the sealing and span her around, causing her to squealed in happiness. He then brought her down a little, and they hugged while spinning. Her arms locked around his neck and his arms surrounded her hips, they both became warm under each others embrace, wishing that it would never end.

It was just them.

However this was broken when the heard the cheering go on from the crowd of students. Kai slowly placed Jinora down, still holding their embrace the two looked towards the crowd with a dumbfounded look. Students were cheering, whistling, and giving overall good praise. Jinora went on to look at Kai with a confused look on her face, he too returned the look back to her while the crowd kept cheering on. Realising they were holding an embrace the two quickly let go of each other, ''Jinora! Jinora!'' a familiar voice called out, Jinora looked and saw her little sister and her best friend waving and coming towards her. ''Jinora you wear amazing, I've never seen you dance like that before.'' Ikki went on to Jinora, while Skoochy came to Kai's side. He looked like he wanted to talk to Kai, but it was very awkward because of their little fight they had before. ''You two danced really good up there.'' Kai did feel a bit reluctant to talk, but he still felt amazing as ever due to dancing with Jinora, and he did think the little fight they had wasn't worth it. ''Thanks'' ''Look Kai can we talk in private?'' Skoochy asked out of the blue, and Kai agreed as the two told their dates they would be right back.

Kai and Skoochy went to the back porch were a swimming pool laid. This area was a bit quieter than inside the mansion, because most of the students wanted to be inside were most of the action, alcohol and music were. So it was easier for the two teenaged boys to talk. ''Kai look…I'm sorry for saying what I said. I should of known it could be offensive to you.'' Skoochy said with sympathy in his voice, ''Skoochy it's okay, I shouldn't have went off at you like that. It's just that these feelings I'm having, I don't think I can stopping having them. And I don't want it to stop.'' Kai said sincerely as he went on ''I thought this whole thing was just going to be an easy straight forward task. You know hangout with girl, and get her to like you. But then I started to see who she really was. She wasn't just some girl, she's a person. A beautiful one I might add'' Kai said as he stared towards the pool with burning emotion in his eyes. ''She values life, she actually cares about things…real life things. She's not just a girl who cares about her status, popularity and looks. She cares about other things like reading books and novels, sharing her intellect and philosophies. She actually listens to what I have to say, values it and shows me support.'' ''In other words she really cares about you, and you care about her too?'' Skoochy butted in laughing ''Well…Yeah'' Kai said with a small giggle, until he went on to make a serious face again ''Skoochy I don't think I can do this anymore.'' Skoochy now looked confused ''Do what? Is it the bet? Because I..'' ''Yeah it is'' Kai butted in ''I don't want your yuans anymore, all I wanted to do is to be with Jinora.'' ''Really? Well I don't think you'd even need to do it anymore, because me and Ikki are an item. But are you sure you don't the yuans?'' Skoochy asked once again, ''I'm more than sure.'' Kai said genuinely as Skoochy patted him on the back, ''Then what are we waiting for? Let's go back into the party to be with our girls.'' at the two teenager boys smiled at each other, walked off and left the scene.

The back porch was left with some students who surrounded the pools, and were messing around. Although there was a good vibe right now, there was a bit of tension coming from around the area. Something didn't feel right in a metaphorical sense, as even if things were on good terms between Kai and Skoochy, something was out of the ordinary.

I've been waiting to write this chapter, and now I've finally did so. I hope you guys enjoy and are ready for the next chapter.
