SOUND OFF

Chapter:3

It's been a complete year since I met Kaique. We're both so close to being fluent in each other's language that we only have trouble with one or two words. I didn't get to see him at all during the summer because he had decided to go back to his country for the break.

Then after finals he went back to his country. I haven't seen him since then. I finished hooking cords up and helped set the arena up. "Yo Codie I think the out of country's are here." Flint yelled. I rolled my eyes at him and rolled a barrel into place.

Then tipped it sliding off it. After setting the second up I exited the ring. "Ah, está a minha linda mulher!" Kaique said. He usually greets me with calling me his pretty woman. "E há meu homem bonito." I told him.

He wrapped his arms around me hugging me. "You know I'm handsome. Dozens of girls have called me that beside you." He said in his best English. I kissed his cheek. He kissed my cheek in return.

If people actually saw us together they'd think we were a couple. "Você é muito bonita hoje(You're very beautiful today)." He said  "Obrigado."  I said thanking him for his compliment.

"Would you like to go eat?" He asked. "Sim eu adoraria." Of course I would love to go with him. He took my hand leading me outside. I then led him over to the café. We entered and found a seat.

When out in public we talked to each other in Portuguese so no one could understand us. "Então como você tem estado(how have you been)?" He asked. "Bem e você(good and you)?" I asked. "O mesmo aqui. Você sabe o que é bom aqui(same here. Do you know what's good here)?" He asked.

People were looking at us oddly. I didn't care. "Posso te beijar(May I)?" I didn't understand the last part of it. I looked at him confused. He repeated it. "Eu não entendo a segunda parte." I said.

He moved over to my side and lifted my face to him. "May I?" He whispered. He lifted my face up more to his. I still didn't know what he meant. He then kissed me. It was gentle, his lips were rough.

After a few seconds he backed up. "Desculpa(sorry)." He said looking hurt. I don't know why for? The way he was looking at me made him look innocent. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him back to me kissing him.

After a few seconds we broke apart. He looked kind of surprised. "Eu não sinto muito por isso(I'm not sorry for that)." I told him. He kissed me once more.

After eating we walked back to the arena talking and laughing like the kiss never happened only we both know we wanted it to continue. Before entering he gave me a hug.

There was the entire afternoon to do whatever. I found a place to lounge around and do absolutely nothing. I went through my social media the whole afternoon. My shoulder was tapped. "Supper before it starts?" Kaique asked.

"Yeah. Sure." I said and got up. We walked to the café for another meal. He sat across from me and we both ordered something new. After eating without kissing each other we went back to the arena.

He then pulled me aside and put his hands on my hips. I put my hands on his shoulders. He leaned in. I lifted up. Our lips met. I could feel him pulling me closer to him. I all but melted into him.

"Preciso ir me arrumar(I need to go get ready)." I told him. "Te vejo depois da primeira rodada(I'll see you after the first round)." He said before kissing my cheek.

I walked away to go get ready for tonight. Once I was dressed I was out in the ring with Flint getting the crowd amped up. After all of the riders had gone except one I knew who was last and I knew which bull he was riding.

As soon as that bull came out he was going crazy. I watched it slam against the chutes as the buzzer sounded. Kaique hit the ground limping. He still made the eight. As soon as the round was over I found him.

"I am ok. Just a bang." He said. "Are you sure?" I asked. He nodded. He was leaning on the wall. "I don't think it is. I think you need to go to your hotel room and put some ice on it and take some pain killers." I told him.

"EU VOU FICAR BEM(I'll be fine)!" He yelled as he turned around. "Codie. I did not mean to yell." He said but I had already went around him out to my truck. I got in and locked the doors.

"Codie." I didn't open the door. I hated being yelled at. "Codie. Eu nunca quis gritar. Por favor me perdoe. Eu não vou fazer isso de novo(I never meant to yell. Please forgive me. I won't do it again)." I could hear Kaique outside.

"Por favor?" I put the console up and laid down. "Codie?" There was a knock on the window. "I'll do anything to make it up to you." He said. I got up from my position and looked out the window. I could see his outline perfectly. Then unlocked the door and opened it.

He stepped up to the open door. I was sitting in the seat with my legs hanging over the side. He came right up to me pulling me to him. "Eu sinto Muito. Eu perdi e esqueci que você odeia ser gritado(I'm sorry. I lost it and forgot you hate being yelled at)." He said holding me.

He kissed my forehead. I had my arms wrapped around his neck.
