Kai
"I'm glad you stayed for dinner, Kai. I hope your parents don't mind staying this late at our house," Mrs Malik spoke to me as she lay down each plate of meal onto the dining table. I was sitting down here with her and Mr Malik as we waited for the siblings. I opted to just sit with them because of what happened recently with me and their son. Oh! The audacity to sit in front of his parents after having these feelings towards their only son and after their son tried to make a move on me. If only they see what is on my mind right now, I wonder if they'd kick me out or scold the hell out of Stan for being that way.
Stan has made me feel weirded out, especially with the new knowledge that I got about his feelings towards me. I know that I should be like 'Yeay! My crush liked me back!' 'Oh my god, I'm getting married!' but honestly knowing that he liked me and that he imagined me while doing his dirty deeds, it made me feel something else. A lot more than my usual hunger. I feel like having sex with Stan would ultimately have me being slammed down onto his bedsheet and being tormented senseless. If you could see him in all his glory, I bet you would understand. That, my friend, was what I'm scared the most.
Oh my god, Kai! You just knew that your crush liked you and here you are thinking about the things he would do to you in bed.
Yeah... that was brutal of me. Sorry, Echo Kai. But nevertheless, I was scared of what he might do next now that he knows I was okay of his confession and that I told him I like him as well. Yes, I told him that I liked him too. Why? Because I wasn't some character in some dramatic romance film or series that runs away when someone confesses their liking towards them. Wait, yes, I did run but I managed to tell him that I liked him. There is a difference people, you need to calm down.
Breaking away from my thoughts, I looked at both Mr and Mrs Malik as they waited for a response from me. I never realized how long I drove off from reality. I was just that good of dozing off. "I... yeah, I texted my mom earlier on that I was having dinner here. Thank you too, Mr and Mrs Malik, being here is just very comforting for me. Your family is really great," I chuckled softly, reaching out for my drink to take a sip. Mr Malik nodded at me, seeming to love my words. Well, when you're an Everest... you seem to know how to charm people.
"Oh kiddo, just call me Anthony. Seeing you here, I already feel that you're one of us already," said Anthony as he smiled cheerfully at me. I was quite surprised at how he reacted to my presence. Normally, every dad would be very restraint of themselves hence, my father. Even Mrs Malik looked surprised by how her husband responded to me, but she smiled nonetheless. "Yes, dear. I feel like you would suit well in this family. Call me Ema, okay?" I nodded, smiling happily to the couple. They were giving off really warmth and love that I adore so much.
"Thanks... this is... new to me," I muttered, feeling embarrassed. It was my first time having dinner at someone's house. To be honest, I like it.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard descending from the stairs. I looked back to see Natalie pushing Stan's body downstairs. "Move, idiot! You're so slow oh my god!" Natalie spoke, continuing to push Stan's body until both of them reach the dining table. Stan immediately takes the seat next to mine while Natalie just stares at him angrily. It feels like she wanted to sit next to me but was cut off by Stan.
"Kids, please behave... Kai is here," Ema scolded both of them, setting down the last plate of meal on the table. She can really cook because these meals... they looked they're made from a five-star Michelin restaurant.
Then Stan put his arm around my shoulder, grinning happily to his mother. "Kai's okay with it, mom. We tease each other a lot too, right Kai dear?" said the attractive male as his lips were close to my left ear. I could hear his warm voice filling up my ear like whistling winds in a blue sky. He knew what he was doing because I could feel the smirk on his face that only I can feel.
"Oh really? You know Kai, Stan?" asked Anthony with his forehead raised. I knew why he asked that question, I never even hang out with Stan before and now that whatever this has happened, things just go south after that. He grinned at his father, feeling proud. "Yeah, we're more than best friends at this moment," Stan said, again making my face blush out of nowhere. What was he doing? Was he going to out us in front of his fucking parents? Natalie and Ema look at both of us with an amused face plastered on their face. I was feeling anxious about this.
To avoid anything bad to happen, I went to touch his thigh and pinch so hard on them. He let out a painful gasp, startling everybody on the table. Natalie was the one responded first.
"What the fuck Stan?"
"Natalie, language," Ema slapped her arm. Anthony was holding back his laughter as he watches the little mess in front of him. Stan then goes to smile painfully after then, trying to not let out any sort of anger. He let out a fake cough, then looking at me with a knowing smile. "See? That was Kai just teasing me. We do that a lot," He spoke, trying to make everything seem normal again.
After that small fiasco, we went to eat our dinner as Mr and Mrs Malik would throw in questions here and there to break down the silence. But it wasn't, every now and then, Stan would just brush his leg with mine, rubbing them together ever so smoothly but hard at the same time. I was feeling heated at the moment and it was not what I needed at someone's family dinner.
"So Kai, do you have any girlfriend?" Ema asked, giving me her attention. Anthony then perks up hearing the subject, looking at me as well. "Yeah, I forgot to ask that. I'm sure a handsome boy like you would have a girlfriend. If not, then I could hook you up with Natalie over there," Hearing that, I cringed mentally at his idea. Natalie was three years older than me. I get it that some people would love those type of relationship but me... no, I don't think so.
Natalie then coughed abruptly listening to her dad. I get you, girl. "Dad! I have a boyfriend! Oh my god," She facepalmed herself, humiliated by her father.
"Oh? Sorry sweetie, I didn't know that. I'm sorry, Kai. I guess Natalie here is off from the shelves,"
"Honey, please don't treat girls like they are toys to be picked from shelves," Ema scolded her husband, staring at him. Anthony laughed, "I'm kidding sweetheart," At that moment, I could feel again Stan's legs brushing against mine purposely. I look at him and scrunched my eyebrows at him. "Please stop Stan," I whispered aggressively, making sure no one heard me.
"What was that, Kai?" Anthony suddenly asked, turning his glance at me. Everyone except Stan was looking at me, waiting for me to repeat whatever that I just said. I was lost at words to respond to them. What should I say? What should I do? This was all that jackass fault. If only he wasn't such a tease.
"I...," I stopped, thinking long to what I want to say.
But then I was beaten before I could say anything. "Kai has a girlfriend already," Stan suddenly spoke, smiling brightly. No way, what was his game now? Oh god, please save me from this house.
Ema then lights up. "Oh! Who is it?" Stan shrugged.
"Some girl named Stany," He replied, eating his food peacefully. I choked at my food hearing the name. Please don't tell me that that wasn't obvious for someone to know that it was his name. I was holding the seat tightly as I prayed to God that they won't notice it.
"Oh wow, that's a lovely name," Ema replied. What?!
Anthony nodded. "Yes, that's a nice name, really suits with yours, Kai," What?! The?! Actual?! Fuck?! My face was glowing another shade of pink that was off the shy chart. How can they fall for this?!
"Yep, it really suits him. I'm glad he's happy with his girl," Stan grinned, showing his pearly white teeth as accentuate his smile more.
Natalie snorted. "Oh yeah? What about you? You seem lonely here,"
"No, I'm not," He rebuked calmly.
"So? Who's your girl then?" asked Natalie, smirking evilly at her brother.
Stan smiled, closing his eyes while doing so. "Kaira," That was the end of it... that was it. That was how I know we were engaged and got married the next day.
But seriously though, he just admitted that I was his girlfriend. Or... boyfriend. I almost faint at that moment, trying really hard to hold myself from dying out of bliss. Natalie laughed at him, holding down her stomach. "What kind of name is that?" She laughed. I feel that Stan would make a quick humorous remark about it, but he just surprised the hell out of me. A confession towards me in front of his family.
"It's a name that I like and that I have strong feelings for. She's the one for me,"
