Sleepover part 2: The nightmare

(This story may be unrealistic but its all for gags.heheh)

(KAI's POV)

Her eyes reminded him of delicate cinnamon as a deep brown surrounded her iris. The way her hair feels as I entwine my fingers through her locks.The way her lips slowly form a grin.The way when her dimple crinkles. It just seems so genuine that it makes an unexpected warmth rush through me. I love the way her cheeks would suddenly be stained with a familiar shade of pink like a spring rose. Her care, concern, worries were almost everything that I love about Katherine. I'm not sure if what I'm doing is the right thing to do but the only thing I could think about when I'm with her is how happy she makes me feel. The only thing I can't figure out is if she feels the same about me. Do I really deserve her?

BACK TO THE SLEEPOVER

Even though our moment technically passed, I could not stop thinking about what just had happened. I scurried to the toilet and splashed the cold water onto my face, an attempt to try to snap out of it. I traced my lips with my fingertips as she recollected how he handled them. She looked up only to be disappointed. I stared at the familiar figure in the mirror. She had messy hair, boring brown eyes and a new pimple. The surge of excitement she felt seconds ago was long replaced by self-conscious thoughts."I should have stayed home," I muttered under my breath as I went back to the living room. Even though my face showcased a fake smile, the self-deprecating thoughts stayed.

The night was still young but Kai stretched out his arms letting out a rather loud yawn. My eyelids were starting to get heavy too."Look at the time! I think we should sleep, "I brought up the idea as he agreed sleepily. He went into his room and returned with a pillow. As he approached the couch, " I'm just going to sleep here," he practically yawned his words out."You know I can sleep alone. That's the main reason I'm here babe. Just sleep with me" I blabbered out without realising the double meaning until later. But this time it was his cheeks that were rosy. What is with up with all the blushing even?"What?? but...but..." he stammered. After all, that happened today I doubt he would actually go any further.Hahaha."Please, I'm feeling really sleepy" I practically begged him by giving my best puppy dog eyes. He simply sighed as he went back into his room.

The navy blue walls of his room unlike the living room were not adorned with picture frames, not souvenirs. Only one part of the wall, next to his study table, was decorated with numerous sketches. Due to the dimness of the light and my drowsiness, I was too tired to inspect them and instead decided to seek comfort in his queen mattress bed. As I fell back, the mattress sunk under me allowing me to snuggle deeper into the soft duvet shutting close my eyes.

"Kit," Kai called out as I forcibly opened my eyes. In his hand was a big bolster. What even?"This is the fortress of friendship, you are going to stay on your side, I'm gonna stay on mine" he proclaimed as he stuffed it in between as before joining me. A giggle escaped from my lips as I actually caught on to what he meant. Was he a dork or just a cute boyfriend? My brain slowed down, and eventually shut down as the warm silence enveloped me soon sending me to slumber.

I started seeing colours. Green walls with a jet black sky. As she got further into the maze, she heard Kai,s voice."Kit here!"It called out. But when I turned around, he started running away from me. As I ran after him, I reached the centre of the maze. With Kai, were my mother and Kelly. As I reached out to them, they started fading away into black specks of dust. I managed to get hold of my mother but, "Why did you do it kit...How could you do that to your own father" she shouted at me pushing me away. As I stumbled onto the ground, salty teardrops drip from my eyes burning them. My whole body was trembling. Everything felt so real.

I opened my eye. This nightmare was way too familiar for me to even scream but yet beads of perspiration trickled down my forehead. The only thing comforting about the situation was that Kai was right there, beside me and not fading away. I glanced over. His features looked softer with his plum lips sticking out. He looked really good. My sleepiness all is gone, only leaving to admire him."I don't deserve to be loved...He's too good for me" I lamented softly but I guess he was a light sleeper cause the next second he was waking up. I cursed silently waiting to be scolded.

"No, you aren't baby. I love you and never forget that"Kai leaned pass the bolster giving me light kisses on my cheek. My heart started fluttering. He removed the ridiculous pillow and pulled me towards him. I moved in leaning on his chest and he embraced me into a warm bear hug. This was probably the most romantic thing he had ever done in the past few months. I gave in and whisper an "I love you too".I was not sure if he actually meant it cause this was the first time we used the L word but I knew I meant it. At last, my consciousness soon was swept away as once again I drifted to sleep. I just wished we would stay like this forever.
