"So are you trying to tell me that you don't like me?" Kai asks me for the billionth time today.

The expression on my face must give away my answer because he gives me a playful glare.

"Not even after that intimate moment we had?" He questions me further, almost sounding insecure. I have to check my hearing to make sure I didn't imagine the tone of his voice.

When he says 'the intimate moment', he's referring to the other day outside of the shop where we were pressed against each other. Where I gazed into his eyes, drinking everything about him in. Where my semi-crush on him developed.

Since then, I've been trying to play it cool. We both have in fact. Kai hasn't mentioned it at all until now. I have tried to keep my thoughts away from there, not wanting to read too deep into it. Having feelings for Kai won't be good for my heart.

"What? I -," I pause, not entirely knowing how to respond to Kai. How did I even end up in this situation? Why is Kai bringing it up now after so long? "Why do you care? Do you have feelings for me?"

I literally have no idea why I asked him that. Whatever he says will make this even more awkward. Still, I'm curious as to what his reaction will be.

"Feelings?" Kai snorts, avoiding eye contact with me. "I don't do feelings Blondie. Relationships are not my thing."

Why doesn't that surprise me?

"Ha! I knew you were a playboy!" I cry, in triumphant. Sadie has been saying that I can't just assume Kai's a player since I have no real evidence. I've told her that I just know, the way he flirts with girls all the time is pretty good evidence.

But now he's basically admitted it.

"I never said that blondie, I just said I'm not a relationship person." Kai deadpans, giving me a flat look. "Where in my answer did you get 'I hook up with girls and then leave them?"

"I presumed," I shrug my shoulders, looking down at the floor. "But come on! We all know you are though."

Kai pinches his lips together. He glances down at his feet and then back up at me, for once looking...upset. I think I even catch his eyes look misty like he was about to cry or something. Maybe my comment wasn't the smartest thing to say. I'm pretty well known for having a blabbermouth. I say whatever I want, most of the time without thinking about the consequences.

Kai looks like he's in his own world. I begin to worry when he doesn't react to me waving my hand in front of his face. Whatever he's thinking about, I don't think its nice. Perhaps it has something to do with what I said. Wait, who am I kidding? Of course, it has something to do with that!

"Kai...are you okay?" I ask him, swallowing down my pride. Concern is now etched on my face; hesitantly, I place my hand on his muscled arm. Kai doesn't flinch away from my touch so I press down more firmly. This grabs his attention.

"What? Yeah, sorry. Just zoned out." He snaps out of it, blinking rapidly and throwing me a sheepish smile. "So, feelings? I know you feel something for me otherwise, you wouldn't have tried to distract me. It's okay to be scared to admit it blondie, not all of us are confident."
