Mr. Silvan's car was parked in front of the house. Kai came out of it and waved at Mr. Silvan as he was driving away.

I pulled the window curtain from the kitchen window.

"He's here." I I took a sip from the coffee and added sunscreen on my arms.

Remi walked inside the kitchen wearing a really short white dress. She looked gorgeous in the body-fitting dress that was obviously made to attract attention. She had put a shiny lotion on after her shower and her skin was glowing.


"How do I look?" She asked.

"Perfect." I replied with a smile. No one would tell we dug a grave minutes before.

"Your crème de la crème is here." I told her.

She glared at me. "if you tell him about it I'll bury you with the bear."

I made a "zipping my mouth" hand motion , and grabbed my bag chucking to myself. "I'm going to meet you guys in the center around seven to walk Kai to the station and we can go back home together."

"Anyone home?" Kai yelled from the entrance and opened the door.

"Yes yes. Deal." Remi told me and shooed me out, then ran to the living room to see Kai.

"Hey." She smiled at him when she saw him.

"Hi." He smiled back at her.

Damn they were really not gonna run and hug in front of me.

"Hey brother. Bye brother." I gave him a short hug on the way out. "Have fun."

I could swear the moment I leave, they will be all over each other.

Remi's p.o.v


I pulled Kai to sit on the couch with me. We didn't need romantic surroundings to feel romantic. Just having him here felt romantic enough.

"Hey.." I played with his fingers smiling at his gorgeous face.

He gave me a relaxed smile and his long fingers brushed my cheek. "Hi."

His smile incited butterflies in my stomach.

"Hey." I told him again and cuddled closer to him.

He brushed my hair back slightly touching my neck.

I sat even closer. I leaned my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

This was so peaceful and romantic and...

Thud-thud-thud-thud

I opened my eyes.

Thud-thud.

I pulled away from his chest, laughing. "Kai why is your heart beating..."

He was completely red in the face. Cheeks, ears, his nose..

I bit my lower lip. "what is with you.."

He took the pillow behind his back and put it over my thighs.

I took the pillow off and his eyes shifted towards the ceiling.

I got an instant urge to tease him.

I tried to hug him, but he got up and took a deep breath.

"Let's see the kitchen you redecorated."

Just what's in his head to make him react like this?

I sighed defeated and got up.

"Come on.. I'll show you.."

I went ahead and showed him where I repainted and how I pictured the whole kitchen looking.

"This is nice. Do you have any before pictures?" He asked.

"Yes." I smiled.

I handed him the journal.

"We have a few pictures here and on my phone. They're totally unorganized ugh.. Let me see.." I shuffled through the polaroids and eventually handed it all to him. " I still have to take mine out from the phone and print them for the journal but you can see in these polaroids how the house looks before."

"I see." Kai nodded, going over the pictures. "The living room is still the same."

"Yes well, we did take some stuff out but we're planning on leaving it last cause we spend most of the time here."

I walked over to the cabinet and pointed at it. "This was in the living room, but I repainted it and...Kai.." I said after I saw he wasn't paying attention.

He picked up a polaroid, smiling from ear to ear.

"Cute."

I instantly walked over to see what he was staring at. It was a picture Francy took off me climbing on the counter repainting the kitchen.

"Thank you." I smiled.

He picked up another one. "Ah.." He smiled again.

It was a picture of me eating an Ice cream while we walked around town.

"Where is this taken?" He asked.

"In the town by the sea. It's really nice, I'll take you there later." I smiled

"Oh..This is cute too.." He said seeing another polaroid.

I smiled and leaned over to see which one he was fawning over.

It was a picture of me, Francy took while I was explaining to her how we're going to take the carpets out. And OH MY GOD.

"That's a cute toy." Kai smiled and pointed at the picture. "Where's the bear now?"

CURSE YOU FRANCY!!!

I snatched the polaroid out of his hands.

"Oh that.. Um.. unimportant.."

He snatched the polaroid back. "Is that one of grandma's bears.. I didn't think there were any toys here.."

"No uh,.."

"Hm.." He stared at it. "Can you bring me the bear? Maybe I can show grandma and she can...."

"No it's not hers.. I bought it." I explained.

"Oh." He smiled. "Okay let's see it."

My heart started beating so loud that I thought he could hear the utter boldness of the shameless lies I was spitting.

"But I threw it away now. I didn't like it after all." I cleared my throat. "I don't like toy bears."

"Good thing I never bought you one then." He smiled.

"Yeah. Not my style." I added hoping he will wrap up this topic.

There was a small silence and then he turned towards me. "Why would you buy the bear then?"

My hands, elbows and knees were shaking. I couldn't hold out anymore.

I dropped on the ground dramatically.

This was it.

I was finished.

"Remi?" He looked down at me confused.

"I never thought it would end like this.." I looked up at him. "I should have never taken that bear.. But these greedy hands were getting something for free.."

He raised his brow. "What do you mean?"

I sighed. I should come clean now..

I took him back to the place where we buried the body explaining on the way what happened.

He should at least know the full story before we call it quits.

"You're telling me that the same bear is here and you buried it cause you got it from someone."

I nodded.

"You buried it in the garden......"

I know I know... I'm horrible..

I looked up and he suddenly burst into laughter.

I've never seen him laugh that much and I've told him plenty of jokes. He could laugh but this was...

He held his stomach as he fell down on the ground laughing.

"You're laughing." My pride was insulted. "I ruined a whole outfit to cover this up."

He couldn't stop laughing.

"You're way too dramatic." Kai tried to get air.

I pressed my lips together and waited for him to finish.

He eventually wiped the corner of his eyes a grin still plastered on his face.

He extended his arm and caught my fingers bringing them to his lips.

"Here I am worried about being alone with you in that big house while you go around digging grave holes."

I dropped down next to him. I searched his eyes for answers. What was he thinking? Was he mad? Crazy? Did he want to break up with me?

"Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" He asked with a slight smirk forming on his lips.

I shook my head. How is anyone supposed to know what's going on in his head?

He sighed. "Ah, never mind. Anyways, why did you think I was going to be mad you received a teddy bear from someone you didn't know. You didn't even know the number was in there and you told him you have a boyfriend."

I cleared my throat. "Because you told Francy if a guy even breathes next to me.."

He scoffed. "What was I supposed to tell her? Let Remi go around and have fun with someone."

Okay. He got a point.

"So you're not mad?" I asked so close to a phew.

"Oh I'm mad." He said and touched the tip of my nose. "I'm mad that I'm the only one who is thinking that we're both alone in this house and there is no one around.."

Oh...Ooooooh.

"Well..." I smiled. "I just assumed since you said I have my whoooole life ahead of me to wait, I wasn't expecting anything."

He got up in a second and dusted off his clothes. "Right.. That's what I said. And I'm sticking to it."

I sighed. I wasn't expecting anything yet it was oddly disappointing.

"But.." He cleared his throat looking aside.

I rose up and fixed my dress disinterestedly.

"I do want to be fair and um...you know we can do um..."

I fixed the strap of my dress. "do what?"

"And um.." He struggled.

"Huh?"

"To uh.."

I was ready to go back inside before any mosquitoes get me.. "Okay I get it. Let's go back inside and.."

He opened his mouth and then let out a disappointed sigh. "Yeah okay let's go back inside."

We walked back inside and I went straight to the kitchen to cook something, putting on the apron.

It was already past noon and I needed to make something to eat. I brought out a cookbook I bought at the market and some things from the fridge.




Kai came into the kitchen and sat on the chairs quietly. I handed him a cold drink and then went back to work mixing up a sauce. I kept glancing behind me to see what Kai was up to.

I thought he was fine with the while bear thing, why is he sulking now?

He kept staring out the window.

"Is it too hot?" I asked.

"Huh?" He turned towards me. "What did you say?"

"Do you want me to close the curtains? It can get really hot in this room around this time, plus we're cooking.." I poured the sauce over the meal and then left the pan while walking over to the window and closing the curtains. The room had a slightly dimmed golden hue now.

I just noticed how quiet it was.

I turned to look at Kai and he was staring right back at me drinking the cold drink I had given him. He was twirling the ice in the glass.

I turned around to turn off the stove and focused on the meal. Right, I didn't even try the sauce before I poured it.Stupid.

I took a small spoon and dipped it in the sauce to taste it.

"Mm, this is really good." I smiled. It just needed a bit of.. I added some red wine and then took a sip myself.

Let's get Kai to try it...

Before I got the chance to take it to Kai to try it, he had walked over and stood behind me.

I moved towards the cold counter and he followed me. He pressed me on it as he leaned over and kissed my neck.

My body instantly shivered. His lips were cold as ice from the drink.

I turned around and instantly, his lips landed on mine. I could never picture what could be counted as an exotic kiss, but with his warm fingers tracing my neck and his cold lips going over mine, with the subtle taste of wine on my tongue, I could imagine it was something similar to this.

His fingers slowly undid the apron straps the from my neck and then moved down to my waist too.

The tempo in which he moved was excruciatingly slow. He took the apron and tossed it aside.

My heart started beating like crazy. Stop it !!!!You should not have any expectations.

His lips touched mine again, steady...gentle..

My stomach started flipping. No...Don't you dare think this might turn...

Mmmm..

His tongue slid into my mouth while his fingers pressed lustfully into the lower end of my back.

Oh god...

He gradually pulled down the strap of my dress and he brought his lips on top of my shoulder.

"Are you still upset?" He asked.

I closed my eyes. "Why would I be upset. You're the one who's upset."

He kissed my throat . "I thought you'd be upset cause I never go further..."

I opened my eyes for a second and he brought his gaze up. "Am I wrong?"

I bought my lower lip. "Well.."I stared at his lips. "Sometimes.."

"Ah.." He brought both his arms and put them over my shoulders. "I take my love for you very seriously, you know that right..


My heart was going to explode out of happiness. This felt so much heavier and different from the first cute and shy I love you I heard.

"I know you do..." I smiled.

"And I'd never do anything risky that would hurt you.." He explained.

"I know." I nodded.

"But.. I feel like I'm indeliberately hurting you when I pull back.."

I realized I had gripped the counter behind me and held my breath in.

I wrapped my arms around his back . "I don't mind taking the initiative, but sometimes I feel that I'm the only one who wants something more."

"I'm just trying to match your pace.." He said lowering his head and breathing in my neck. "But also I get too nervous and..uh..." He brought his head up and leaned his forehead on mine, closing his eyes. "Even now, I don't know what I'm doing."

I closed my eyes and whispered over his lips. "Just don't stop kissing my neck and I won't say a word to stop you."


...

After saying that I don't know how or when, but I was on the kitchen floor with Kai over me heavily making out.

It only resonated with me when the timer for the oven went off annoyingly loud and disruptive.

Kai pulled away, his lips swollen and his hair ruffled.

"Lunch?" He asked.

I smiled. "Well, I guess I should feed you now."

He laughed and helped me get up. I was a worse mess than he was. My whole bra was showing, the dress was up to my thigh and my makeup was most likely smudged. But he looked at me like I was a candy ready to be unwrapped.

It took him a second to snap back into his rational senses helped me pull up my completely messed-up dress.

I covered my face in embarrassment and then pulled my hands down, taking my tongue out and pointing it at him.

He smiled. "I'm going to wash my hands. Be right back."

"Mmmhmm." I nodded and swooned my way to the fridge to get some ice water. What was I cooking again?


***

After the crazy embarrassing lunch, no talking and the awkward glances we decided it would be best to leave the house. We decided to spend the rest of the day enjoying the scenery of the country town and I had no complaints as I needed to calm down my senses before my mouth slips and I tell Kai that I want to take things all the way.
