Chereads / My Secret: A Gift or A Curse? / Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Kaname

Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Kaname

After the meeting with Kimora, I couldn't get her eyes out of my head. There is something out them that kinda pulls me towards her.

"Fuck, where have I seen them?" I questioned out loud.

As I was heading home, I had a plan to shut the world out, yet, my stomach had other plans.

I guess I could say it is a good thing cause there was a new restaurant that I have been wanting to try out for some time now.

The only reason I haven't gone is because it just didn't come up to be a good time to go. It's on the expensive side but I can afford it. Hey, at least it's not like one of those super fancy places but still formal/homey.

Later tonight

After I finished taking a shower, I wore a navy jacket that small white dots on it, a white T-shirt and some blue jeans. I don't like to dress formally, it feels suffocating but if I want to go eat at the restaurant I have to dress the part.

After finishing dressing I grab my keys and wallet, starting to head out.

Just as I open the door I saw my one and only friend there with his fist up making a gesture showing that he was going to knock. I looked at him with curious eyes waiting for him to say why he was here.

"Umm---hey Kaname how's it going?" I looked at Tanner with a "get-to-it" look. He sighs.

"Well--you know-- I know you don't like to have company over but...do you think I can stay here for a while?" He looked at me with an uneasy look on his face.

I sigh and open my door wider for him to enter. I tilted my head towards the inside of my apartment for him to know that he was welcomed in.

That slow ass just stood there looking confused like always. Once he got the message, he made his way inside my apartment toward my couch.

"Speak," I said.

I don't know how many times this man sighs.

" I broke up with my boyfriend because I found him in our bed with a woman. And I need a place to stay awhile."

I was about to say something to him when he quickly added "But I'll save enough money to get my own place. PLEASE! I promise I won't get in your way so-so..."

"FINE! Alright just stop begging, I'm getting a headache" I said rubbing my temples.

I turned on my heel and walk towards the door. As I opened and halfway out the door, I turned my head slightly to the side,

" Aren't you coming? We're going to eat, so hurry up." With that, I kept walking without waiting for him. Making sure I yelled over my shoulder for him to lock the bottom doorknob.

I'm going to ask him about the situation in more detail after dinner, he knows that too. At the same time, I knew he really loved him so I don't know if I should wait a couple of days to ask him or wait for him to come to me.

Hmm, if he takes too long to tell me I'll just ask him. Yea, that sounds good.

When we got inside my car, I took a quick glance at him. I hate seeing him look gloomy when he is always all sunshine and shit. If I ever see that cheating bastard on the street I am going to punch him where it hurts.

Turning on the car, I took out my phone dialing the restaurant, telling them if my table has room for an extra guest. Once it was confirmed I start to head there.

'I hope he can take his mind off of him with food' I thought.

After parking my car, we both got out and walked into the restaurant in front of the reservation person.

"Hi, I have a reservation for two?" The man looked up " your name please"

"Kaname Rain" the host scan through the book and a couple of seconds later motioned for us to follow him.

As we were walking, Tanner was talking to me about this new car he saw and how he was going to use it and stuff. Honestly, it was boring but I was happy he wasn't talking about that fucker so I pretended I was ignoring him.

As we made it to our table, we sat down and the host put our menus in front of us.

"Your waitress will be right with you, enjoy your stay," he said before leaving.

I really didn't feel like talking but since Tanner is my friend, I decided to be a good friend to him and let him rant.

"Go on." And just like that, he told me everything, which followed with a series of "he's a bitch" and " wasn't good in bed anyways." I am a little surprised he told me so fast, I thought I was going to have to wait a couple of days but I guess he growing up, not dwelling on a relationship that won't work.

I've got to admit that having Tanner in my life is never boring, he is like a puppy, always wagging his tail. It's funny because the first time we met, he was surrounded by people but still called out to me. He never left me alone.

Then again he is hard to ignore. He attracts attention with his tall frame that compliments his lean muscles, long golden hair, and sun-like eyes. But this idiot catches feelings for people like a disease. I just hope the next time he does that, it is with someone that is right for him.

"Okay, okay, stop talking, and look what you want to eat. The waiter is gonna be here soon"

"Oh! Right! I totally forgot." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you get a dog to stop barking.

After a few minutes of looking over the menu, we both decided what to get as if on cue the waiter came.

After taking our order, I told Tanner that I have to go to the bathroom and that I'll be right back. When I finished with the bathroom I head back to my table but I stopped in my tracks.

Coming my way is the man with that threatening voice. I didn't fail to notice the beautiful brunette by his side. She looked like she could've been a plus-size model. Quickly snapping out of my daze, I hid behind a wall so he wouldn't see me. No matter how handsome his face is, I didn't feel safe around him.

Calming my racing heart, I peeked and saw them going to the back, probably the VIP section of the restaurant. There, I took the opportunity to go back to my table. As I made it, I saw the food was already out and the smell of it made my stomach growl loudly.

" Damn Kaname, have you been starving yourself or something?" He said while laughing. I rolled my eyes at him. "Keep talking and you'll be sleeping in the streets" That got him to shut up real fast.

We both started to eat but I couldn't help to worry that what if he saw me? Who was that lady by his side? Were they together? Just friends? No, it's not my business.

I just hope he didn't notice me. I can't deal with a man like him.

Karma loves to laugh in my face. If it was a person me and karma would be enemies.
