Loving The Enemy//Kai Parker

Chapter 8

Izabella's POV
I woke up with a terrible headache, just then I felt grip on my waist, I also felt the warmth of a body. I realize that for the first time in years I haven't gotten a nightmare about my mother.

Just then, a realization hit me about everything that happened yesterday. The dinner, the drinking, dancing, how I tried to kiss Kai, but he rejected me. Him carrying me here, me allowing myself to cry in front of me. I didn't let people see me cry. It just seemed weak for some reason and I'm not going to be like Elena, and I, asking him to stay with me for the night. And that, I was cuddling with no other but Kai Parker at the moment. I tried to stand up, but his grip was tight.
"Is this a dream?" I asked trying again to stand up
"Do you often dream about me?" He said smirking
"If you were awake then why didn't you get up?"
"Cause I was comfortable." He said still cuddling me. Eventually, he got up
"You know you should have woken me up instead of waiting for me to wake up." He said
"How do you know I was trying? We weren't even face to face." I asked
"I felt your body tensing up." He said
"But don't you have a problem that we were cuddling. I mean like we don't have the best relationship. " I question his calmness
"Of course not. I don't care enough to have a problem with that. Also there's nobody here who can judge us, we could do whatever we want." He repeated my words from yesterday. We just stood there awkwardly for a few seconds. When Kai spoke up
"I'll make breakfast. Do you want something?" He said
"Yes, aspirin. I'm gonna get a shower a real quick because I feel like shit and I'm gonna go downstairs." I said.
"Without me?" He asked playfully. I just rolled my eyes at him
"Go, I need to get undressed." I said
"I don't mind watching." Said Kai
"Get out, I'm serious Kai." I said.

He left and I got undressed and got into the shower. I hop in the shower, thinking about last night. Kai is just so confusing. First he is nice to me, then treating me. Yesterday he told me we shouldn't do this, but today, he used my words from yesterday and he in some sort flirted with me. Either I'm delusional, or he just acts this way with everyone else. Why am I even thinking about him. I don't even like him.

I got out of the shower and got dressed. I went downstairs to see Kai serving the breakfast.
"Good, you came. I was just gonna see if you were ready." He said handing me the asperin and a glass of water. And we sat down. We were eating in silence, when I broke it.
"So when eat the breakfast. We're going back to our road trip, right?" I asked
"Yep, we are 7 hours away from Portland." He said eating his waffles

We finished our breakfast, packed our things and went to the car
"I could drive if you want to?" I suggested
"Do you even know how to drive?" Kai asked
"Yes, of course I know." I said rolling my eyes at him
"I would rather drive." He said sitting in the passenger seat

The drive was really awkward. Kai kept turning off and turning on the radio.
"Listen about yesterday I-" I said but was cut off by Kai
"You don't need to explain yourself. You were drunk, you didn't know what you were talking about, if we did what you wanted to you would regret it, you just needed to forget all your problems." He said, avoiding looking me in the eyes. At the moment I want to be anywhere else but with Kai. I just felt so embarrassed because of yesterday. I know it wasn't my fault, I was drunk, but it still felt forbidden to even find him attractive. The rest of the ride was just silence...
