Chapter 14

A lot of things happened after she saw him that night. Days passed and he never sneak out again during midnight. It's true that Kai went out to buy her egg pies. When she woke up, two egg pies are placed in the dining table and she found Kai sleeping on the living room's sofa.

He continued training her for days and she can see her improvement. Sometimes Aella and Kai also doing sword fighting which they enjoyed a lot.

Aella didn't regret accepting Kai's offer to train her. She improved and that's important but she also know that she's nearing to say goodbye to Kai and the ladies.

"What were you thinking?" Kai asked her.

She removed her eyes to the golden sky and looked at kai. "Nothing. Will you stop staring at me?" She hissed to him and the jerk just laughed.

"I can feel your stares. It's making me uncomfortable."

He raised one eyebrow. "Why? At least I'm staring at your face, while you, you like staring at my chest and abdomen whenever I'm doing push-ups." He said and her jaw dropped at shocked.

"No. I'm not. I'm not even with you when you are doing your push-ups." She denied. Well, she's a pretty liar. Kai's accusation is actually true.

"Don't try to deny it to me, Sexy. I can also feel your stare from the window." He said and grinned like he won.

"Huh. That's why you really like doing push-ups because you like me staring at you. In addition, you started doing push-ups because you know that I liked watching Keiran doing push-ups." She accused of him too. There's no point of denying when he is really true.

"Well, I'm not going to deny that one. But that's not my main reason." He said.

"Then what's the main reason?" She asked him.

He repositioned himself on the sand before answering. "You have resemblance with my mother. I can see her face from you."

Her brows furrowed in confusion. "What?"

"Yeah. Her eyes are expressive just like your eyes. You have the same color of hair and eyes and face shape is also the same. You can passed as her daughter." He said.

"Well, that's creepy and I hope you didn't kidnapped me because you missed your mother." She said to him and looked at the sea.

"Of course not." He answered.

Aella looked at him again. "What if, I'm your relative?"

His two eyebrows met. "What? No way."

She laughed at his reaction. "But seriously, where did you get your eye color." She asked that made the two of them confused. Richart do not have blue eyes and his mother, then where did he get those ocean eyes.

"I do not know. That's my question too." He answered in a low voice. In that time, Aella knew that there is something unexplainable and Kai realized it himself.

After that he never became talkative again. He's silent the whole time they get back at his house, while eating their dinner. He's like thinking something. Aella hope that he's thinking good things.

It is almost midnight when her sleep was interrupted and she heard the door closed. She immediately opened her eyes when she realized that Kai might go to his father to get the answer to her question.

She needs to follow him immediately. She change her clothes and wore her shoes and when she went out of the she didn't saw Kai but there is a light coming from the forest, probably Kai. Aella followed the pieces of fabric that she tied into the branch of trees. The light of the moons serves as her light but she had a hard time finding the fabrics.
