Chapter 8

All of a sudden, I see Kira rushing down the stairs, in nothing but a towel, with a brush stuck in her hair. She was coming closer and closer, never slowing.

“ Kira? What-“ I couldn’t finish my sentence because she threw herself at me, once again wrapping her arms and legs around me.

“ Kira! I wasn’t done! Get back here this instant!” my mom appeared in the doorway, looking like she had run a marathon.

“ Mom?”

“ Tristan, you have to help me. I cannot get her to sit still long enough for me to finish brushing her hair and at every knot, she goes crazy!”

“Is that why she came running downstairs?”

“ Yes, now please have her sit in a chair!” my mom said, eyeing Kira’s half naked body wrapped around mine. I mean, it felt odd to me, too, but being a guy, I won’t complain. I carried Kira over to the kitchen stool  and for the second time today, pried her off of me, and set her onto the stool.

“ Kira, that wasn’t very nice, what you did to mom. Now I would appreciate if you could sit still until your hair is brushed, okay? Don’t make a fuss about it.” I said firmly.

Turning back to my meal, I watched as my mom retrieved the brush. Now that I have a chance, I looked at Kira. Without all the dirt, on her skin and hair, her eyes and hair seemed to stand out even more than before.

When I realized that I had been staring at her—again—I quickly looked away, for she was looking right back at me. For some reason, I felt a slight blush rise to my cheeks.

“ I, uh, am going to get changed.” I mumbled.

“ Oh, okay, dear. But before you do, I set out some clothes on the guest bed for her, could you bring them down?”

“ yeah, sure.” I started my way upstairs, hearing Kira hiss and growl at my mom when a knot got pulled.

I chuckled under my breath.

Sitting at the kitchen table, I thought; mom, what are you up to?

My mom had asked me to come down from my room and wait in the kitchen for her to come down. I looked at my watch and sighed. I had been sitting here for almost 10 minutes. Standing up, I ran my hands through my dark hair.

I spun towards the door as I heard the sound of footsteps. At first, I could only see a silhouette, but as she stepped into the light, I was baffled.

From dirt covered skin, matted hair, and ripped clothing, came Kira. Bathed and dressed in a pair of purple Convers, blue skinny jeans, black and white plaid shirt, and a side braid. All in all, she looked hot. I mean, even hotter than Anna. In a natural way though. Unlike Anna, Kira hadn’t caked her face with 10 pounds of makeup, and was far from looking like she was made of plastic.

“ Wow…” I whispered. Even if she heard, she just stood there blushing like crazy.
