Love is Deaf

Chapter 10

My apologies for the last chapter being all Rel

The two watch as Ruby leaves with Mel. Is she gonna be ok? Malia asks. I think so. Something tells me, Mel is a good person. Kylie smiles sadly. In the meantime, did you wanna dance? Or would that be weird since you can't really hear the music? Malia smiles and nods. I can feel the beat. Kylie shrugs. Ok.

They make their way to the dancefloor. Kylie starts dancing with Malia, having her arms wrapped around her waist. After a few songs, they make their way to the kitchen to grab some drinks. Both settling for water, since Kylie was driving and Malia wasn't much of a drinker. I hope you're having fun so far? Kylie asks her. Malia smiles and nods. Yeah, i am. Despite how it started out, but everything's fine. Kylie smiles at her. You look so beautiful. Malia blushes. Thank you. You too. Kylie stares at her as she leans against the wall. She steps closer and brushes a strand of hair out of her face.

She bites her lip before leaning in and kissing her. Malia throws her arms around her neck as she kisses back. Kylie wraps her arms around her waist, pulling her closer, if that was possible. She feels Malia lick her bottom lip before she parts her lips. They battle for dominance as Malia moans in her mouth. "Whoa! That's hot!" Kylie hears some guy behind her. She pulls away and glares at him. "Oh please don't stop on my account." He smirks. Malia tried to read his lips, he was slurring his words a bit. But from what she can gather, he made some rude comments. She turns Kylie's head to face her. Just ignore him. Let's go back to dancing. Kylie nods and grabs her hand. "What's wrong baby?" They ignore him as they walk back to the dance floor. "Hey!" Kylie hears footsteps behind them. He grabs Malia by the waist. "Where you going beautiful?" He smirks. Malia flinches at his touch.

Kylie quickly steps in front of her. "Fuck off asshole!" "I'm just asking a question." He smirks. "And maybe let your friend actually speak for herself?" She feels Malia grab her arm. Let's just go. Kylie nods and wraps her arm over her shoulder. "Oh! She can't speak! That makes sense. For a second, i thought she was retarded or something." He laughs before a fist collides with his face. He stumbles back as Kylie shakes off the pain in her hand. "I'm just saying," he adjusts his jaw, "maybe she can't speak, but I'm sure she'll scream when i-" she kicks in the balls. He doubles over in pain before she knees in the face. He falls to the ground as his arm knocks over a couple of drinks, spilling them on top of him.

"Stay the fuck away from me and my girlfriend." Kylie grabs Malia's hand and they leave out the front. Her phone goes off as she sees that Ruby had messaged her to meet her in the front. "Perfect." She turns back to Malia. Are you ok? Malia nods. I'm fine. Thank you. Kylie holds her hand and nods. Of course baby. They spot Ruby and run towards her, ready to leave this party. Kylie pulls her into a tight hug. "Are you ok?" Ruby nods. "I'm fine. Can we just go home?" Kylie nods. "Of course." She pulls out her car keys and they all walk down the street to Kylie's car. Kylie gets in as Malia takes the passenger side. How's your hand? Kylie opens and closes her fist. It's ok. I'll manage. Malia sighs as she glances back at Ruby. She nudges Kylie and nods towards the back. "Rube? You ok?" Ruby nods. "I'm ok." "Who was that?" "Her name is Mel, apparently Morgan was playing us both. But we're cool. Morgan, however, is dead to me." Kylie nods. "Understandable." Malia looks at Kylie and raises her eyebrows. Later. She nods.

"Ky, can i stay with you guys tonight?" Ruby whispered. "Of course honey, whatever you want." Kylie nods. They park and head inside. Kylie hands Ruby some clothes and she goes to change in the restroom. Is she gonna be ok? Kylie nods. I think so. I don't know who that girl was but i think she really helped her. Malia nods. She knew sign language too. Kylie nods. I noticed that too. Maybe you could have another friend who can sign now. Malia raises her eyebrow. Are you considering yourself just a friend? She smirks. Kylie laughs. Absolutely not. Maybe best friend. Malia laughs. You wanna go to sleep? Malia nods. I'm tired. They say goodnight to Ruby who seems to be texting away on her phone as she lays on the couch. They go to Malia's room and cuddle under the covers. "I love you." Kylie whispered. Malia sits up and looks at her. I said goodnight. Kylie smiles. Something tells her that she's lying but Malia lets it go for now. Goodnight. Kylie slowly falls asleep. Malia stays up thinking. Why would she goodnight out loud if she knew Malia can't hear her? What is she hiding? Determined, she opens her phone and looks up the best Speech Therapists in the area, as well as make an appointment with her hearing aid specialist.
