Jessica Wasabi: The End
Chapter Sixteen
Jess's POV
I woke up at about eight in the morning, to Mo shaking me. I smiled and said tiredly, "Hey, girly, what are you doing up so early?"
"Daddy's here," she replied.
I raised an eyebrow. "Daddy?" I sighed. "What does he want?"
"He wants to talk to you."
I was quiet for a moment before sitting up. I glanced at Kim, she was still asleep on the other side of the couch. I took a breath before standing up. "Where is he, Mo?" I asked her.
"In the hall," she said as she got behind me and pushed me towards the door.
"Now hold on," I said with a small laugh. "I would like to make myself presentable first, so go tell Daddy that I'll be out in a few minutes."
Morgan nodded and skipped to the door while I walked to the bathroom. I looked at my reflection and made a face. I was wearing shorts and a tank top, which I had put on before Kim and I started watching Lady and the Tramp, and my hair was all over. I picked up a brush and was about to start an attempt to tame the mess when I heard someone chuckle.
"'Make yourself presentable'? Really, Jess? Now when did you start caring how you looked around me?" Kai said in amusement. He was leaning against the doorpost with a small smirk on his lips.
I sighed and my cheeks turned a light shade of pink. "When did you start walking into apartments uninvited?" I countered quietly as I set the brush back down on the counter.
"When did you start looking so beautiful in the morning?"
I looked at the ground, hiding a shy smile as my cheeks turned a darker pink. I cleared my throat nervously. "What are you doing here?" I asked quietly.
"I don't want to take a break, Jessi," he told me gently. "I don't want to risk losing you. I love you; forgive me if I love you so much that I get jealous easy. And I'm sorry that I think you're so beautiful that any other guy would kill to be with you. Jessi, please forgive me."
I took a breath and bit my lower lip. Kai took a step towards me, taking my hand in his and pulling me close. "I love you," he mumbled as his lips ghosted over mine.
I cracked a smile. "I love you too," I said in almost a whisper.
His lips were on mine as soon as the words left my mouth. He snaked his arm around my waist, pulling me even closer, and I was careful not to hurt his broken arm. Our lips moved in sync and he brought his hand up to cup my cheek gently as I ran my hands through his soft, brown hair. I smiled as he deepened the kiss, making my knees go weak and butterflies fluttered in my stomach. I broke the kiss, taking in a breath of air. My cheeks were red and hot and I was smiling. Kai was too, like an idiot, actually.
"How did I ever get so lucky?" he said, almost to himself.
I rolled my eyes, amused. "I'm sorry for the way I acted yesterday..." I told him.
"You had every right to be upset with me," he replied. "But that's behind us. So, what do you say we hand off Mo to one of the others and uh... just take the day for ourselves, huh?" He smiled slyly, a playful look in his eye.
I had to admit, I was tempted. "I promised Mo she could spend the day with you," I said with a sigh.
"Oh..." he frowned, then shrugged. "Tomorrow, then?"
I smirked teasingly. "We'll see how things go, soldier."
I pushed him out of the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower," I said. "I'll be out soon, ok?"
He smiled. "Ok," he said quietly and pecked me on the lips.
I closed the door and pressed my back to it. I grinned, my heart was still racing from our kiss and I felt complete again. I pushed myself away from the door and took a quick shower. I got dressed, put my hair in a loose ponytail, and then walked out to the living room.
Kim had woken up and was talking to Kai, but they both became quiet when I entered the room. Kai stood up from the couch and put his arm around my waist, kissing my forehead. "What were you two talking about?" I asked.
"Kim was just asking about the army and stuff," Kai replied.
"Yeah, I should be going," Kim said as she stood up. "I'll see you guys later."
As she left, she gave a small smile to Kai and I raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, ok. Are you ready for your daddy/daughter day with Morgan?" I looked at Kai and he frowned.
"Mmm, what about a daddy/daughter/mother day?"
I rolled my eyes. "Mo hasn't had a day with you since you were on leave, Kai."
"Well neither have you."
I sighed. "Yes but she's your daughter."
"And you're my wife." He gave me puppy eyes.
"Kai... I want to go with, I really do, but I have to work anyway."
He frowned. "Fine..."
That's when Morgan walked out of her bedroom, half-asleep, and into the living room. When she saw her daddy, her eyes lit up and she smiled so brightly it made my heart happy. "Daddy!" she yelled happily and ran to him.
She hugged him, and he did likewise. I smiled, then looked at the time. I sighed. "I have to go," I said, upset. "I promised Rudy I'd be at the dojo early to help unpack some new equipment..."
"You work at the dojo?" he asked.
I nodded. "I do; I teach beginning karate to kids."
"That's great, Jess." He gave me a warm smile.
"I think so." I kissed his cheek. "Meet me for lunch at noon?"
Kai squeezed my hand. "Of course."
"Good, I'll see you later then." I knelt down and kissed Mo's forehead. "Love you, girl, have a good day with Daddy."
"Bye, Momma," she said and hugged me.
I stood up and Kai pecked my lips. "I love you, babe," he said gently.
"I love you too." I grabbed my bag from the kitchen island and walked to the door. "Be good, Morgan!" I left the apartment and heard Mo and Kai snicker at the comment. I rolled my eyes.
This was my family. And I loved them more than anything in the world.
*sigh* This chapter was filler but whatever...
