Kai's nostrils flared. "Go away!"
"But why?" My voice is quiet since I don't know how to speak when he is mad at me.
"Arabella," he cautions. He only calls me by my given name when he is mad at me.
"No." I try to stand my ground rather than ball my eyes.
"No? Fine, then I'll go." I clutch him by the end of his T-shirt, afraid I won't be able to catch him if he runs away.
"Kai." Tears brimmed in my eyes.
"Why did you let Eiden kiss you on your cheek?" He pauses.
"I thought I was the only one allowed to kiss you there."
I nod. "Of course you were. You know how he is. He always tries to copy you. Remember when he started calling me Acacia like you. Until you made me ask him not to call me that anymore."
"I swear, I thought he was going to kiss me on the head."
He grits his teeth but speaks in a calm voice. "I don't like him breathing near you."
"Don't be like that; he means well, and you know you care about him as well."
"I only care about you." His thumb wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Will you not be mad at me if I kiss you on the cheeks? I've never done it before with other boys." I talk quietly.
I stood on tiptoes, my hands on his arms to keep from falling. My lips brush up against his cheek, and my face warms up, and I pull back quickly.
Kai tapped his other cheek, but this time he leaned slightly so his cheek was in front of me. As my lips make contact with his skin, my trembling fingers cup his jaw.
This time I don't pull back, and we're in the same position.
"You are mine. Only Mine."Of course, I was, for he was mine. My best friend.
