Kai

Chapter 18

"We live in the sea of Darkness. Just when you think evil is consuming you light appears before your eyes. You only limit yourself to see the negativity and the emptiness that you live in. We are more than that, open your eyes people. It's time to stop being controlled and puppeteer-ed. It is that time to own our bodies and rule ourselves" the speaker said.

I sat in the last row by myself watching this enthusiastic man preach about how we must live our lives. He nonchalantly walked across the small stage in his dark purple suit. His belly was undeniable, if I wasn't attentive I would think he's the black Santa Claus. His babbling echoed through the auditorium. Empty seats were constantly filled by more people occasionally walking in. I yawned, tired of his words. This man in his late sixties yelled and preached about things that had absolutely nothing to do with the ideology of the program. I don't do Church, but this is the closest I'll ever get to one. I attended a public speech, arranged in downtown Miami. I thought it would be something entertaining like a TED Talk, but I guess not.

He's repeating things that I already know, only to work in his favor. I could see it in his eyes how his intentions were impure. I look down at my feet rolling my eyes to myself. I stuff my hands into my back pocket getting out of my seat and walking out of the auditorium. "What a waste of my money" I whispered to myself.

I wore my black oversized hoodie in the middle of Miami's vibrant streets. The culture spoke to me in many languages: food, music, and people. All of the following exhibit a sense of life that lures people in. Today was unusually cold, but that didn't stop Miami's usually warmth. It was 54 degrees outside, one hell of a cold front struck the bipolar golden state.

I kept my head held low strolling through the streets. At some point I watched my feet travel on the sidewalk. Oblivious, I bumped into someone. I really need to stop looking down. Looking up towards the person, I realized the victim rolling my eyes. Kai's eyes lasered holes through my body. His aura was different, everything about him was cold. I felt uncomfortable and moved to let him pass. "Thank you" he said dryly. I wonder what happened to him. My eyes followed him as he walked off. Someone else bumped into him igniting the beast I wish to never see. "Watch where you're fucking going" a man yelled. Kai's hands reached for his pockets slowly pulling out his gun.I raced over there before he can point it to his head. "Kai!" I said pulling him in the other direction. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I questioned getting in his face. He didn't seem to flinch a bit, slightly scaring me. "Hello?" I said trying to evoke a response. "Leave me alone" he said explicitly. "No!" I said folding my arms. I managed to get him to look into my eyes asking for permission to enter his soul. Genuinely I am concerned for him because of his new behavior. "Talk to me" I said grabbing his face closer to mine. "Why should I? You won't last like the rest of them anyways" he said coldly. My stomach dropped struck by his harsh words. He removed my hands walking away into the distance. What's wrong with him?

I nodded my head to the sound of my bass vibrating the city. As much as i dislike Kai, I can't help but think about him. My mind was focused on his cold confrontation. Leave me alone. I furrowed my eyebrows, perplexed by his behavior. I couldn't even enjoy my music without thinking about him. What's even more odd is the mere coincidence of bumping into him. I don't know what he's up to , but I hope I can see him again to confront his problems.

I wanna put your broken pieces together

Walking through my front I was urgently approached by Reign. "You and I have to talk" Reign said dragging me into her room. She closed the door behind me, folding her arms. "Start answering your phone, please" she said sternly. I looked at her confused by her request. "What?" I said tilting my head. "Answer your phone" she repeated. Pieces of the Key's flashed, reminding me of her missed call. "Was it because of Sunday?" I asked. "No, just start paying attention please" she said concerned. "Um okay" i said perplexed. I left her room more confused than I did entering it.

I was waiting on your call, only to come back to no love at all

I laid in my bed staring at my ceiling wall dozing off into empty thoughts. My chest gently raised and fell at the door of unconsciousness. My mind devised a setup for my entertainment.

2:45 am

Everything felt surreal, I looked down at my hands stretching them out to confirm my control. I wore a black jumper with a low cut exposing my chest, accompanied with a pair of cheetah print flats.I felt heavy and sullen. The air was particularly humid as if it had just finished raining. Looking up I could see the entrance of my club. Lights flashed everywhere, there was no line in sight but the music broke the silence. Walking in a breath confidence filled my lungs, along with the clouds of smoke from the weed.Girls of all body types flaunted their bodies carelessly as the scavenged for money. Hundred dollar bills rained on them will getting occasionally spanked. I folded my arms impressed with my work. Staring down at my outfit I noticed I was carrying a small purse. Curious I searched through it finding a thick stack of singles. I pulled it out getting ready to throw it away. A man in his late 30s confronted me staring down at my money. "That's all you?" He asked. "It's dirty money" I said smirking. I could see the expression on his face change, he was surprised I guess. He lifted his hands backing up away from me. Don't take me for a fool. I ripped the blue strip surrounding the money and began to fling it little by little.

The music started to sink in pulling me into its trap. I swayed while I threw the money aimlessly. I scanned the room targeting the DJ, I smiled letting them know that I'm enjoying their talent. As I looked to my left I could see a face that was unusually familiar, Kai? I swear it was Kai, I stared harder to make sure it was him. He was laid back in a chair with two girls attached to his sides. His eyes locked with mine, creating a tension I couldn't stand. My soul wanted him, this magnetic force attracted me to him making us inseparable. Keeping eye contact, I walked over stopping at his feet. He raised an eyebrow, raising a smirk. He looked down at his lap signaling for me to sit on him. I licked my lips sexily sitting on his lap facing him. Staring into his eyes caused a craving within me. I wanted to taste his lips. I wanted to feel his warmth all over me and I couldn't deny it. I wrapped my hands around his neck bring his attention strictly on me. My stomach unexpectedly dropped from my growing anticipation. I am determined to make him mine. I want you. His head started to move forward leaning while mine did the same. We grew closer leaving no pauses in between. Our lips began to brush each other creating a fantasy like force field around us.

How are you gonna love him if you don't even love yourself
