I felt the breeze swoop into the room which made me shiver a little bit. The soft silky curtains were swept off the floor and flowed through the air as the wind brushed past them. The soft light of the sun peeked through the open window and illuminated throughout the whole room, welcoming me a bright, and sunny day.
I took in my surroundings and noticed I was in the guest room that Kai had let me stay in until I can decorate my new room, and I honestly think that's kind of sweet. I can finally design it without worrying about other furniture being placed in there and I was quite excited for it.
It was 6:30 so I tumbled off of the bed and into the ensuite bathroom to start getting ready. I tied my hair up into a high bun so it didn't get wet, and instead just washed my body for today. I brushed my teeth with the spare Kai provided me and went back into the bedroom.
I realized I didn't have any clothes so I walked over to Kai's room, who was just right down the hallway, and entered in just my towel. I heard the shower running so I rushed into his walk in closet to find a shirt I could wear so I could go down into my car for extra clothes.
Rummaging through the t-shirts I heard someone clear their throat from behind me. I turned to see Kai, also in a towel, looking at me up and down. He had a smug look on his face but my eyes trailed down to his abs, to his v-line, until the wrapped up towel. I looked back up to his eyes and saw his wet hair drooping over them as he watched my movements. I shrugged my shoulders and pulled a black long sleeve from a hanger, it reached down to my knees which was un-fucking-believeable because I might be tall but this guy was gigantic.
I pulled my towel from underneath and brushed my shoulder against Kai's as I walked out but he gripped onto my wrist before I left, "You could've just asked princess," he said lowly.
"Why ask when you were already going to say yes?" I answered seductively. I don't know what had gotten into me, but I guess I just like teasing Kai around and it's pretty fun.
He softly pulled me into his chest until I could feel his breath fanning against my forehead, "You're skating on thin ice," he warned.
"And you're," I trailed my index finger down his hard abs, making bumps along the way, "on my last nerve." I pulled away from him and walked back to my room to clip on my bra and white vans. I always carry extra panties in my school bag so I have that part clear.
I skipped to the trunk, yes, I fucking skipped, and popped it open. Inside was a small duffel bag I kept for situations like these. It contained clothes, extra hygiene shit, some money, knives, and guns. I think I even have a machete or a baseball bat in here somewhere, but we'll find out later.
I grabbed some jean shorts and a white spaghetti strap crop top, belt, and my schoolbag before I skipped my way back up stairs into the guest bedroom. I quickly got changed and combed my hair into it's natural waves and arranged my outfit which kind of showed a bit of cleavage but I didn't care. I put on a bit of chapstick and called Williams to check in.
W: Hello?
D: Hey, just checking in.
W: Oh thank God you're safe, how's it staying with him so far?
D: Well, not too bad. Hopefully I can get all of my stuff from the other house so I don't have to worry about lack of clothing and such.
W: Oh Gold, do you want me to send some people over to do that for you?
D: No! No man should go through a woman's underwear drawer!
W: Ok, ok. But if you're up for it, there's a fight Saturday, you in?
D: You truly know the way to my heart Williams.
W: A heart of Gold, I'll text you the address, have a good day!
D: Right back at you!
I hung up the phone with Williams and slung my schoolbag over my shoulder and made my way downstairs. I vaguely remember where the kitchen was and after awhile I finally found it. I just followed the smell of oatmeal and bacon and walked straight into the dining room where Kai was already engrossed in his breakfast. I dropped my schoolbag next to me and plopped down on the seat across from him and dug into the breakfast.
I saw my tattoo on the corner of my eye and I couldn't help but trail it with my fingers again like I usually do when I don't feel mentally stable. The outline of the scars he left on me dragged under my fingers so delicately, as if it was still fresh. The wound might have been healed but my soul was most definitely not. He put me in a dark place I never wanted to visit again, but here he is, dragging me back in. I sighed through my nostrils and shook off the memory and focussed on my food.
"Shattered Jewels..." I snapped my head up to Kai who was staring at my tattoo, I had almost forgotten another's presence in the room. I glared at him after he breathed out my constant reminder of a brother and my body started to shake with anger once again. My grip on the cutlery almost made it break but I calmed myself down before it could get any serious. I finished my food quickly and waited for him to finish his so we could get to school.
"So why'd you need my shirt?" Kai asked changing the subject.
"So I could get this from my car," I pointed to my outfit.
"You're not wearing that," Kai ordered.
"I thought you said I was free to do anything in this house but lie?" I pouted at him.
"Yeah, but you're wearing that outside of this house princess," he reasoned. I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders because I knew he was just bluffing, right?
He finally finished his food and I made my way to my car before he pulled me into his chest again, "You're riding with me," he ordered.
"But Robinnn," I whined.
"C'mon sweetheart, we might be late," he ignored my whine and placed his hand on the small of my back as he escorted me to the passengers seat of his car. He held the door open for me and I slid inside crossing my arms, faking a pout as Kai got in next to me. He looked over to my pouting expression and then down to my chest, "Uncross your arms from your chest princess," he demanded. I looked down to examine the problem and sure enough, my cleavage was on display more since my arms were pushing them up.
I uncrossed my arms awkwardly and put my earphones in for the ride to school. During the ride I couldn't help but worry once again that he might be there to catch me, I know I am stronger than him physically but that doesn't mean he's not stronger than me at all. He might just be waiting for me, and snatch me at the perfect time.
The anxious feeling in my stomach started to grow stronger at the many negative thoughts that swarmed my head, and I even thought about asking Kai to turn back around and take me back. But before any words came out, Kai's soft fingers started drawing all different shapes and patterns onto my bare thigh, and it actually helped me relax. All I could focus on was trying to figure out the different shapes he was creating and the many patterns he drew.
All of that continued until we pulled into his regular parking spot of the school and my anxiety heightened even more. I bit my lip in nervousness and before I knew it, my door was being open by Kai. I looked up to him confusedly and wondered how long I was sitting here for panicking. I grabbed my school bag but Kai snatched it and slung it over his own shoulder before placing his hand on the small of my back and leading me towards the school.
"Relax," he whispered into my ear which automatically eased my tenseness. All eyes were on us, some giving us glares and others in surprise and envy. I couldn't blame them, Kai's like a walking God, it's unfair.
We approached my locker and I put in my combination and switched my afternoon books for my morning ones. When I was done I tried grabbing my bag back from Kai but he just pulled it farther away from me, "It's alright princess, we have the morning classes together, remember?"
I sighed in defeat and nodded my head reluctantly before we headed off to homeroom. We saw Blake and Liam chatting away in the back and Kai led me to them.
"Hey precious, how's it going?" Blake asked cheerfully. I shrugged my shoulders with a ghostly smile and sat down next to him.
"Oh right, forgot she does that," Blake said referring to my lack of speech in public. I rolled my eyes and held back a chuckle as the teacher walked in.
"Did you guys do it carefully?" I heard Kai whisper behind me.
"Yeah, but he still won't break," Liam complained.
"He's so fucking stubborn dude," Blake chimed in. I stopped eavesdropping on their conversation since it was probably about gang stuff and instead, laid my chin on my arms as I eyed the entrances and exits of the classroom carefully.
He might be coming in any second.
He could pop up out of nowhere.
Think of an escape plan, think.
As I started thinking I couldn't help but hear the last part of their conversation, "Should we tell her?" I heard Blake ask warily.
"Not yet, I want answers, and I want them now," Kai growled.
I brushed it off thinking that they were probably talking about someone else, but I couldn't help but wonder if they were talking about me. I kept my eyes on the exits while our English teacher mentioned something about a book article.
She started handing out books and I examined the cover page; Blood Sisters, Jane Corry. I read the summary on the back and kind of felt intrigued by it.
I turned around to face Kai and nudged his shoulder, I pointed to my bag that was too far out of my reach and he scooted it over to me. I placed the book inside and popped a mint in my mouth before doodling in my notebook.
So much has been crossing my mind this morning I didn't even hear the bell ring for next class. I continued to doodle while deep in thought before I felt someone poke my cheek. I looked over to Liam who looked at me with concern, "You okay step sissy?" I nodded my head in response, still absentmindedly doodling.
"Really? Because the bell already rung and we're still here," he pointed out suspiciously. I looked around the classroom and sure enough, everybody was gone. I cleared my throat and closed my notebook, but what was on my page made me freeze in my spot.
My eyes trailed along the drawing that I had created without purpose and I slammed it shut before these boys started worrying even more than they already are. Kai still had my bag on his shoulder and I stuffed it in along with my pencil and hurried to math class.
I can't believe I just drew that. I mean, it would make sense because of how many times he's crossed my mind during the day. And I usually conjure up drawings when I didn't mean to and let me tell you, I really didn't mean to draw this one. It made me feel cold, like I actually did ruin his life. Like I was really the purpose of everything bad in his life. What did I do wrong? How did I make him feel this way? Did I really... I didn't want to... but I think I really did just draw shattered Jewels.
