Cole was annoyed. Kai was in the shower for almost forty-five minutes now. And they had to be at the party in 15 minutes. Cole looked at himself in the mirror, he wore a black shirt, dark jeans and black chucks. He looked at the bed, where Kai's clothes laid. Kai would wear a dark red dress, a black leggings and dark red pumps. Only now Cole realized, that they pretty much matched the other. He looked at his watch again and sighed.
Walking towards the bathroom he yelled: "Kai! Goddammit, hurry up!". He arrived at the door and wanted to punch against it, when he head a voice. Kai. She was singing.
Cole stood in front of the door, stunned.
Kai was singing?! Kai never sang, not even at the catchiest songs. Not even Happy Birthday.
Cole carefully put his ear against the dorr and listened. Not only was Kai singing, but she sang a song from the movie Cole's sister, Mia, showed her.
"Open up your eeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeesssssss! See the world from where I stand!" Cole couldn't believe it.
Kai sounded amazing, she could actually sing. Her voice sounded soft and powerful at the same time.
The master of earth listened to his girlfriend a little longer, until he heard how the water got shut off. He stepped back and waited.
When Kai stepped out of the bathroom, only a towel around her chest, she bumped into her boyfriend. "Oh, sorry." She muttered. Then she looked at Cole, who stared at him. Kai sighed.
"I know, I know, I'll hurry. Don't worry, it's just a party. We don't have to be that punctual." She wanted to walk on, but got stopped by Cole's hand.
"What?" he asked confused.
"I didn't know you could sing like that! I mean, holy shit, that was amazing. How come, I've never heard you sing before?" Cole bursted out, grabbing Kai by the shoulders. When Kai realized, Cole must have heard her singing, she turned as red as a tomato and looked down at the floor.
"Y-you heard me?" She muttered. Cole nodded in excitement.
"Yes, I heard you! Your voice is so fucking beautiful!"
Kai looked into Cole's shifting green eyes, still blushing. "You think?"
Cole frowned. "Yes, of course. Why? Do you not think that you can sing?"
Kai shrugged. "Well..."
Cole rolled his eyes. "How come, you're always so confident when it's about fighting or flirting, but as soon as it has to do with something artistically or emotional you're suddenly shy and insecure?"
Kai shrugged and stared at the ground again. Cole could saw in the way, how Kai tensed and bit her lip, that she was feeling uncomfortable. He sighed and rested his hands on Kai's shoulders.
"Look at me." He said softly. Kai hesitated, but than obeyed. Cole looked into his girlfriend's amber eyes and smiled. "Look, you don't have to be embarrassed for showing emotions. I know that it is hard for you, but you have to realize that it isn't wrong. Assassins are allowed to be emotional, to cry, to dance, sing, draw or whatever. You don't always have to be the strong, independent, protective fighters. If you don't want me to tell the others what an awesome singer you are, than that's okay. I won't tell them. But you have to promise me one thing: Don't be ashamed for your talent. Okay?"
Kai looked her boyfriend deeply in the eyes and nodded slowly. "Okay." She whispered. "Thanks" A smile grew on her lips.
Cole smiled back and kissed her passionately. Kai pressed herself against Cole and the master of earth could feel the hot, naked skin of his girlfriend.
"Hm..m-maybe we can be late for the party." he mumbled while pushing Kai against the wall.
