What?
The moment I walk inside and Kai introduces me to her mother, I feel so alive that I have not felt in a long time. I love Amy Daniels and I do even more than I already did before I met her in person.
She made me laugh and looking at her gash over Kai just felt like being in a live cinema.
She is a lively woman whom we can only dream of ever becoming half of who she is.
"Oh my God, Samantha do visit another time. I would like to get to know you more and introduce you too to my family." I smile at her. "I would like that too." She smiles and then she leans in so we can hug.
"Please, I beg of you. Help me and my son get close, as close as we can get." We pull back and she looks at me making sure I heard what she said which I did, but I am confused of what she would be wanting me to do here?
Help her and her son get close, as close as they can get, what does that even mean?
She nods her head at me and I nod back, she walks to Kai and hugs her too.
"I love you son." She says holding his cheek after he pulled away.
I wait for Kai to say it back but he doesn't. He waits for his mom to take his hand away. "Take care, Mom." He puts his arm around my waist and then guides me to the passenger door.
He opens it for me and I get in. He walks back to the his side.
"Take care mother."
"Bye, son." He gets in and starts the engine before he drives out of his mother's mansion and drives us away.
"That was so tense back there," I comment and he turns to glance at me slightly before looking back ahead.
He lets out a sigh. "It's my mother, she wants something she threw away herself and now wants me to bring it back for her when I don't even know where she threw it." It sounds like he is trying to tell me something but not saying something to me at all. However, I will be taking whatever he is willing to share with me.
But regardless I still realize something, Kai does not like watching movies nor does he know anything about music, in general anything regarding entertainment. Kai knows nothing about that. His mother happens to be the mother of Hollywood who ruled for over a decade now. Now I wonder, where is the connection there to all of he is saying and to what his mother asked me if I can help them be as close as they can get?
I turn to glance at him. "Does she realize she is asking what she is thrown away?" He nods.
"Of course."
"Then you need to remind her and then baby, tell her to go fetch it and fix it. In this world, we need to own up and clean our own mistakes baby. Don't let her do you unfair." He reaches for my hand that is on my lap and kisses the back of it.
"When did you grow up?" He asks and I chuckle knowing the answer I want to reply with won't settle right with him.
"You do not want to know baby." He laughs. "Maybe I don't. But have I mentioned that I love it when you call 'baby' darling?" I shake my head with a smile when he asks that.
"Not really. You know it's funny how I didn't even realize it when it began. " I say because it's true that I didn't realize when I started. "It just came naturally."
"That's one of the packs of love darling. Things flew naturally." I smile at what he is saying.
"I love you Kai, and I love this new life you and I are heading into."
"I love you more darling. And I got you in this life forever." I look at him and he looks at me like we sealing our vows with our gaze. We lean in and kiss lightly before he brings his attention back to the road.
That night we get home and get in bed and cuddle the night away just embracing one another's warmth.
The next day we were up like usual, Kai is a morning sports person and so am I, we headed to his home Gym and did some work together, technically he is more experienced and knows many more sports to do so he ended up becoming my personal trainer.
We finish and take different showers before we again meet downstairs.
Theodore has made us breakfast so we all sit to the dinning table and have some.
"Tomorrow do you remember that the private tutor will start coming here, Samantha?" Theodore says and I turn to look at him feeling surprised. The last thing on my mind was my studies and given that I had chosen to be taught from home and not be enrolled in any school made me feel like maybe I also was finished for a second.
"By the way you just looked, I can tell you did not remember." He says and I smile sheepishly at him.
"Am caught red-handed, aren't I?" He chuckles and nods his head. "You are."
"Darling if you are having second thoughts it's not to late we could always enroll you in any school nearby." I shake my head instantly at Kai when he suggests that.
"No, am doing homeschooling." I chose that before we even flew from Rwanda, to me it's the best option really for my sanity. Am done with dramas, the last thing I want to add to my faded-up family drama is high school senior drama on my plate.
"Whatever you want darling." I smile at Kai and the rest of the breakfast they are talking about the work-related stuff about Den Empire.
After breakfast I go to watch a movie, I do not know what Kai is doing at then before lunch I just end up falling asleep before I had it. I woke up when the sun was still rising so I knew I hadn't slept for much longer, I walked downstairs on the hunt for my man in his big house.
For a moment I don't find him anywhere and then I hear someone talking from outside.
I follow the voice and I find myself outside at the pool.
Kai is sitting with his legs in the pool while being on the phone.
"Come on Mia, I did not know you would like to come."
"I also did not know you were assigned to keep tabs on me but don't worry next time I will remember to update you whatever I will be doing."
"Yes."
"No, she is asleep."
"Why would I do that?"
"Mia, stop it from there. Now that I am in the States tell Dad for me that I will be dropping by now and then much more than I did."
"Okay, don't I will tell him myself. Bye Mia, take care of yourself and Dad. Love you."
I watch him shake his head as he hangs up and then it's when I make my presence known.
I clear my throat.
"Hey." He turns to smile at me when he sees me.
"You did not tell me we were having a swimming day today," I say as I walk closer to him and he chuckles.
"Because it's not a thing darling. I just wanted to relax and swimming does it for me after golfing." I nod my head walking closer to him.
I sit down beside him.
"Is something bothering you?" He takes time to answer.
"Taking over my mother's company is." I nod my head because I thought so too.
"You know you are going to rock it there right?" I ask him and he turns to grin at me. "I love that you think like that but it's going to be hard I presume."
I move closer so that our sides are touching before I put my arms around his shoulders and rest my chin on one of them. "We will get through it." I hold him but when he turns I pull my hands away.
He looks into my eyes before he leans in and kisses me. I close my eyes as my lips move along his in sync, I snoop closer when he moves his hands in my shirt to the lower of my back and grips my waist.
He uses his tongue to kiss me and I let him devour my mouth like he wants to.
I open my eyes when he moves his hands to the sides of my waist and grips it harshly. I slowly move my hand up in his hair and run my fingers through his short hair.
I can feel his palms move all the way up of my stomach until they reach just under my breast. I hitch my breath.
"Kai." I moan out but he just stops and pulls me closer for a hug. He rests his head on my shoulder and I do the same.
"Kai," I call for the second time and he pulls back to look at me as he moves his hands out of my T-shirt.
I wait for him to look at me to know if he has my attention. "When will you make love to me?" I ask as I keep gazing into his eyes to not miss any change in them.
"I have turned eighteen in March, I know you know that because we celebrated it together," I say but he does not say anything back so I keep going. "On the day we went to OO's nest and I fell asleep on your chest I heard you vow to never touch me again until I was an adult and now I am, please tell me now. I need to know. Am I not attractive enough for you? Am I not good enough?"
"Stop." He says putting his index finger over my lips, I stop and look him in the eyes. He says nothing so I push it away and carry on. "It's starting to make me feel so insecure, you are starting to make it look like an excuse, Kai please give me one good reason."
He moves closer and rests his forehead against mine. "One good reason is that I love you." I shake my head wanting to pull away so I can look at him but he raises his hand at the back of my head and holds me still but not hurtful.
"I love you Samantha and am sorry for making you feel like that, I have to apologize that I always have this thought at the back of my mind." He looks out of place saying that and this time when I pull away he lets me.
"What thought?"
"I….. I have thoughts, doubt actually that one day…. You will wake up and realize am not good enough for you." My eyes grow big because it takes me by surprise.
"What?" I say but I don't think he heard me. "Kai, what are you saying?"
"Am sorry, it's just in my head and I don't say it to mean that I do not know that you love me because I know you do, bu…" I don't make him finish.
"Kai, we are in this together. Me and you baby. Me and you against the world." This time I am the one who raises my hand and pulls his head against mine. I felt like I could cry. What?
"I had those thoughts too and they used to trouble me a lot because for starters am young Kai and that's a fact that can not be hidden, sometimes I wondered whether you had it for grownup girls or blondes, I do not know. But after everything we've been through. I have had to grow myself in the love I have for you and the one you have for me.
We do not have to worry about the future kai because we do not know if we even have it.
But look at us here and look at what we have, I have you and you have me that's what we have to focus on. Those who live worrying about the future are those who end up not having it in the end." I raise the other hand on his cheek. "Believe in our love baby, believe in us and we will get so far. Just look at what my family had thrown at us, did we know that was happening? No, did we walk out of it as a team? Yes, and that was only me and you. Me and you Kai." He nods his head when I emphasize that.
"Me and you darling." He says with his eyes closed.
I feel like I could cry out of nowhere but I don't. Instead I lean in and kiss him a closed mouth kiss but still tears falls down on my cheeks before he takes hold of the kiss and kisses me possessively just the way I want.
We pull away and as we keep our foreheads attached. He raises his thumbs wipes the tears falling and rests both of his hands on my cheeks.
"Am sorry darling." I may not know what he could be apologizing for but I have a small glimpse of thought about it as he kisses my forehead before attaching it to mine again.
I nod my head and say. "I know baby." Because I know and guess what, time will have to prove to me that I knew or not.
