Kai's p.o.v
"Luca I'm going to kill you!"
"Haha, you have to catch me first!"
He jumped over the couch and stood on the other side waving my phone in his hand.
Pissed I chased after him, I leaped over the couch to tackle him but he jumped out the way and used me as an extra springboard to jump to the other side of the couch.
I quickly caught myself before I crashed face-first into the floor, I stood up and glared at him.
"Don't give me that look, dear brother, I'm helping you out here," Luca smirked as he waved my phone again.
"If you don't want me rearranging your face, you'll hand my phone over to me" I snarled and he just chuckled like the cocky bastard he is.
"Listen, mate, I'm doing you a favor 'ere, you don't know how to talk to girls and I do, trust me, you'll thank me bro" He winked and looked at my phone, probably to send another text to Zita.
I took that split-second distraction and tackled him to the ground, knocking the phone out of his hand and it slides onto the floor.
I quickly got up to reach for it but he grabbed my leg and pulled me back causing me to fall, I glared at him and used my free leg to kick his face but he moved out the way.
Soon we were both on the floor fighting, throwing punches, and kicking each other. Luca got on top of me and started throwing punches.
"Hey what is going on, hey stop this right now!" Luca was pulled off me and I took my chance to throw a few of my own but I got pulled back.
"That's enough!" Evelyn tightens her hold on me, restricting my movements, mom held Luca as well. The both of us panting and glaring at each other "If you two don't explain what is going on I'll make sure you both end up in a wheelchair!" Mom looked at the both of us, waiting for one of us to say something.
"Mommy, Luca took Kai's phone," Noah said standing behind her with Kiania who hid behind him.
Mom sighed, letting go of Luca and signal Evelyn to do the same. I fought back the urge to tackle Luca down knowing very well how quickly Evelyn would knock me out.
"And why did you take his phone, Luca?" Mom asked, "I was only trying to help him talk to a girl" he explained as if it was an all misunderstanding.
"You had no business going through my phone in the first place" I snapped "Kai, calm down, let me handle this please" I clenched my jaw shut, mom faced Luca once again.
"You had no right to do that, that's his phone as well as his personal space, if he needed help he'd come to you, got that?" Luca nodded "Now hug" she smiled.
We both went rigged as we stared at each other, I rather drive my fist through his face than hug him but if I don't mom's earlier promise will turn into a reality.
"Oh come on you two, stop being such babies and hug," Evelyn said pushing me towards Luca and mom did the same with him.
I tried putting my foot down to stop but it was no use. Eventually, they got us face to face and the urge to just put him in a chokehold was strong "Okay now put your hands around each other like this" Mom took our arms and wrapped them around each other.
In an instant, I can see the same idea crossed his mind.
Suplex.
"See now was that so hard" Mom smiled, pleased with herself while we tried throwing each other over without them noticing, resulting in crushing each other.
Evelyn noticed this and whispered with a smile hidden with dark intentions "Mom isn't the only one you should be worried about" we immediately stopped and stepped away from each other, mom was mild compared to Evelyn and her strength but they still had their scary part about them.
I felt a tug on my shirt and looked down. Kiania showed me my phone "H-here you go" I took it and check to see if it wasn't cracked and thankfully it was in one piece, lucky for him.
"Thanks, Kia" I pat her head and walked off into my room "Dinner will be ready in 10 minutes!" Mom called after me, I didn't say anything and just closed the door behind me and threw myself onto my bed, and sighed.
That stupid idiot should have known better than to open the text in the living room. Now I have to do damage control, I unlocked my phone to see she read the message and hasn't replied to it so I quickly texted her back.
Zita: 'Hey, it's Zita'
'Hey cutie ;)'
'Please ignore the previous message, my brother took my phone from me.'
Zita: 'Oh that's alright lol, I was caught off guard. Also please pretend I didn't send you a winky face.'
Zita: 'My phone slipped out of my hand while I was typing, haha embarrassing >x<'
I questioned the weird text emoji but brushed it off and texted her back.
'No worries it happens, at least you didn't have to fight to get your phone back '
Zita: 'Oh my gosh are you okay??'
'Ya I'm fine, it's nothing really.'
Zita: 'You can't call a fight anything, this fight sounds like it was big.'
Zita: 'I can call the ambulance!'
'You don't have to, I'll heal, trust me. I'm stronger than I look.'
Zita: 'Hehe ya your right, I have to go, dinners being served but I'll send you the details before bed'
'Okay cool, I have to go too. Chat later.'
After that she went offline, I lay there staring at my screen and sighed.
I locked it leaving me in complete darkness of my room, looking up at my ceiling. I'm starting to wonder if it was a good idea for me to accept her invitation.
To be honest she's better off not knowing me at all or maybe I'm just better off not knowing her. I sat up and tossed my phone onto my bed and walked to my desk, opened the drawer, and pulled out the bandages to wrap around my knuckles.
I need to clear my head and laying on the bed won't do me any good, I walked up to my punching bag, breathed in, and threw a punch followed by another. Threw in a few high kicks, the impact caused the chains to rattle and I lost myself in the repetitive motion, I got so caught up in the motion I didn't hear the knock or even my name being called out.
"Kai?"
I snapped out of my trance, panting, my hair sticking to my face with all the sweat. I took a moment's breather and turned to face who called me.
"Kia, what are you doing here?" I said panting, I took the towel that hung on my chair and wipe my face "Mom said you should freshen up and come down for dinner" She said in her quiet tone "Okay, tell her I'll be down in a minute" She nodded and turned to leave but stopped, something was bothering her, I could tell the way she gripped her dress so tightly.
She turned around and ran into me, hugging me by my legs "Please don't be mad, your scary when your mad" she said, her face buried into my leg.
I sighed and placed my hand on her head "I'm sorry you had to see that but I'll do my best not to be mad, okay?" I gave a smile to reassure her and she smiled back, hugged me one last time, and then ran out of my room.
I watched her leave, I ran my hands through my hair and went to go take a shower but stop when I saw my phone light up. I walked over and picked it up, it was a text from Zita.
Zita: 'Saturday, 17h00, Northway street at the Karaoke Bar.'
I read it and locked my phone and went to take a shower so mom doesn't strangle me for being late for dinner.
Zita's p.o.v
I saw him read the text and go offline immediately after.
Something sunk in me, it felt like a tiny little sting. I shook my head, why are you getting too hurt by him reading your message. He's probably just busy like he said, speaking of getting busy I should at least start on one of my homework so I don't stress over the weekend.
I put my phone on charge by my bedside table and walked to my desk to get started on my History homework.
Hours later I finished and sighed in relief, stretching to loosen up my body after sitting in one spot for so long.
Knock.
Knock.
"Come in."
Mrs. Urakusai peaked in, smiling and holding chocolate pudding in her hands "Hey sweetie, I thought I should bring you something while you take a little break from all that homework" She said smiling sweetly at me as she placed the pudding cup on the desired, kissed my forehead and then left.
I took the pudding cup and started eating my thoughts drifted back to Kai and if he's said anything yet, I mean it's been almost an hour already. I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts, why am I so concerned about this anyway, I just met the guy and I pretty much had a panic attack which is not a good first impression.
I guess this karaoke night will work out and be my second chance, why can I suddenly see Uma smiling that smug smile of hers? I then remembered her comment about me having a crush "I don't have a crush!" I immediately blushed and shoved a spoonful of pudding into my mouth, I'm getting worked over for nothing.
The vibration from my phone made me jump and caused my stomach to clench. I quickly got up and went to answer the message, my hands suddenly sweating and shaking.
Uma: 'Yooo don't ignore meeee!! :('
I'm seriously going to end that frog if she keeps doing this, it's not good for my heart! Another message popped up, making me jump again.
Carol: 'Hey, Uma keeps texting me, I told her you're probably busy and will answer her when you get the chance.'
Carol, you are a lifesaver but I guess I do have to respond to her or she might show up at my front door.
'I was busy and yes I've sent him the details for karaoke night. You can stop worrying now'
Uma: 'What did he say? What did you guys talk about? Come on teeeelll meee!'
'Calm down, we just had small talk and I gave him the details and that was that.'
Uma: 'Booo sooo boring -3-'
I chuckled and rolled my eyes then locked my phone. I walked to my desk to pack up and get ready for bed, quickly finished my pudding and tossed it into the bin then switched the lights off.
The room light up from the moonlight that peeked behind the curtains, casting soft rays of light. I climbed into bed and slipped into a deep sleep.
