from the start

chapter 7: Kai.

Its been 3 months since I took Autumn out to splurge. Since then I have had 2 phases and she had gone on 4 dates unsurprisingly all asked for a second date and she denied, nicely ofcourse.
We had not spoken much since I semi confessed that I loved her. It was not akward though. I was in the kitchen with Jake and I decided to tell him.
"So I-I um" what is wrong with me speak.
"I like ur sister"i spat if out before thinking. My eyes shot up almost immediately do she his reaction to this news.
"Really dude? Not a phase"he said thinking I was joking.
"I am being serious man. I like her and I don't know what you would say that so I decided to tell you before I tell her". I said making sure he was looking at me when I said each word.
"Bro she's my younger sister "he looked confused and pissed if that mixture was ever possible. I looked at him still hopeful, he sighed "I will permit it only if it lasts longer than a year and she agrees too" he said then went back to the chopping board.
"Thank you God thank you" I shouted pumping my fist to the air.
" Why I we thanking God"Autumn said as she walked in grabbing an apple, blessing us with a curious smile.
"Nothing" Jake answered even before me. He leaned towards me " if you hurt her I will be the one to bury you" he whispered then tapped my shoulder.
I took that as my que to leave the kitchen. I went up to Jake's room and in a few minutes I was joined by Autumn.
"Hello" she said covering her eyes and sitting down next to me dangerously close.
" Why are you closing your eyes" I said sitting up to face her.
"I don't want you to get lost in them again"she joked. She had been using that one instance to torment me over and over again.
I grabbed her and to remove it from her face but she was stubborn and did not release her hand.
She finally let go but at the wrong moment. She fell. On me. My hand was still around hers and her body on top mine.
She smiled, leaned in and kissed me. I kissed her back. The kiss was gentle,soft.
I pulled back and spoke"I hope I am not going to be some rebound"I said making sure my lips touched hers. She smiled against my lips looking into my eyes
"I hope I am not a phase" she did not let me respond and kissed me again.
...
It's funny how things play out. I walked into that house loving her. And I walked out knowing she loved me too. I hope.
She kissed me.that should mean something. Shouldn't it?
I am one to talk. I have kissed a million girls without a feeling a single thing for any of them.
I shook the thought out of my head and focused on driving.
I reached home and texted Jake. I had to tell him, not because he was her brother but because he was my best friend.
And in a completely different note I really want him to confirm that she actually likes me. I don't want to continue living in this never ending spiral.
Who am i?
"MalaKai snap out of it." I said to myself
" She is just a girl" that was a lie. To me she was not just a girl.
She was the place my heart called home. For her I could steal the stars. Even if she doesn't feel the same I am hers and she. Could do anything she wanted with me. Anything at all.
I called Jake and broke the news, he took it surprisingly well.
"Oh and bud could you ask her if you know the kiss meant something" I said taking off my shirt so I could take a shower.
"Trust me it meant something, you are the first person she has ever kissed. But I Will still ask. Tomorrow then" he ended the call not even giving me thd chance to react.
I was her first kiss, had she never kissed Gus? If I was indeed her first kiss she had to have felt something.
Don't jump into conclusions Jake would ask her and I would know for sure but as of now I am not going to their house for a while.
