Zander's POV
Kai sat a top of the bed , waiting for me to muster the courage to tell him why I had called him here. I had practice all day infront of a picture of him , but when face to face with the real Kai ; I completely froze.
I only had to say three simple words , ' I love you ' . Or should I summarize my feeling to him along the lines of I'm madly in love with you.
"Why are you being so awkward ? " Kai asks.
I guess circling around him wasn't aiding my cause. I sit beside him , taking his hands in mine.
" I love you ." I tell him nervously.
He reminds silent .
"Well ? " I ask in anticipation.
" Ok " He answers.
" I mean , how do you feel about me ?" I ask
He sighs , sounding almost annoyed. " I don't feel the same way." He says.
He gets up leaving the room, and I feel my heart shattering.
A jolt in my chest wakes me . I exhale , happy that the last few minutes of my life had only happened in my dream .
It seemed I was more nervous about my nearing love confession to Kai , than I was letting on .
Realizing that Kai wasn't on my side of the bed like usual , I roll on my side to pull him closer to me . I pull myself up from the bed when he's nowhere on bed.
I reach for the bedside lamp , rubbing my eyes to better wake myself up .
" Kai ? " I call as I slide on my slippers.
Hearing rattling from the kitchen I head downstairs.
I find Kai packing groceries into the fridge. I sigh , I didn't like the fact that tend towards overexerting himself. Between university , and well everything else he was doing , it seemed like too much for one person .
I didn't want to be worrisome , but I found myself fretting over every little thing when it came to Kai .
"Zander , you're awake ? " Kai asks , his eyes pointed in my direction.
Not answering , and I walk up to him .
"I want you to come back to bed. " I tell him , kissing him on the cheek.
" Why is your heart beating so fast ? " Kai asks concerningly ." You weren't in bed ." I tell him.
I left out the part about not bring able to sleep without him , it seemed pathetic to admit.
He remains silent and moves onto packing food items into cabinet , turning his back to me.
Kai was really intent on having organized . It seemed I wouldn't be able to stop him so I made myself comfortable by wrapping my arms around his moving frame , all while resting my head on his shoulder.
" Zander, stop that ! " He hisses.
" Stop , what? " I tease , knowing he doesn't like when I nibbled against his exposed skin .
He turns , " You're so - "
I cut him off with a kiss . He looks annoyed , but there's a slight gleam in his eyes .
"Your eyes are red , you should come to bed." I say to him .
I take his hand , and he allows me to lead him back to our bedroom.
