Chapter 19

*** Akali POV ***

Finally finding time through all the chaos, sitting between dealing with sponsorships and meeting with representatives that want me to model something after my taste. Then there is Ahri and Evelynn making sure that we work ourselves to death to get as much done before Ahri has to leave in a few hours till next Wednesday.

Evelynn is also tagging along with her - I said I'll keep her home guarded and make sure that nothing happens... though she caught on that I just don't want to travel.

Resting my arm on the edge of the table, resting my forehead against it I stare at the phone between my legs. Already sending my message... I only realized last night that he sent me a message and could only not find the time to talk with him.

I hear the door creak open to the studio, "Heya. You must be happy to get a week off after that weekend."

Not looking at her, "Hey, Kai'Sa. Dying to get to bed actually unless plans change."

"You are really going to make plans after spending all that time working?" she asks.

"It really depends, not going to just give up on my sleep for anyone."

"Who is it?"

I realize that how I worded makes it seem that I have been wanting to make contact with him, then with a chuckle, I let out a long sigh, "A friend."

She giggles, "You don't abandon sleep even for me."

I turn my head to arch my brow at her, "Don't lie."

With a large grin, "Just teasing~"

"Hmmm."

"Just saying that you don't do anything special for anyone unless they force you to or unless you really really like them. So is it a lucky guy or just someone you are very good friends with?"

"Dunno yet," I turn my gaze back to my phone between my fingers.

"Well. You surely can't do worse than JP right?"

"Going to spend a few minutes preaching to me how he is a horny asshole that just wants undress me with his teeth and then turn his back on me the moment he got what he wanted?"

"Ahri does that quite a bit," feelings her cold yet soft fingers on my shoulder, "You know what you are doing, but we aren't strangers either so please don't try so hard to keep everything as vague as possible."

I sigh, "Sorry... bad habit. JP is a nice guy but I think you just misunderstand him."

"Or Ahri is the one misunderstanding you."

I nod, "Yeahp."

"Well - I am going to head home and into bed. I would hang out with you but I am flying over to Poland to meet up with my Dad."

"Why is he there?"

"He likes traveling," she then starts walking, "Stay safe, okay?"

"You stay safe, Kai. Love you!" I call out at her as she the door closer.

"Love you too," she giggles before finally disappearing.

Ahri will be here soon to quickly finish up so that she can stop stressing and then I will probably just head to bed if he doesn't respond. I don't get it... why do I feel like I am in the wrong when I was busy with work? 

Shutting my eyes as I mutter to myself, "Come on, Akali. Isn't it obvious?"

My phone notification goes off, I press my thumb against the side waiting for the screen to light up. Getting a burst of energy I quickly reply to his message with a question.
