My experience with love isn't the best.
My parents have never shown me any kind of love. True love.
My first boyfriend was a complete douche who dumped me because I was too 'immature'.
And now the boy I love thinks I'm making everything up.
Kai and I have had a few bumps but I've come to realize that despite this, he's shown me something new. He's shown me what it's like to truly love someone.
Kai has driven me around the bend, he's made me want to scream and cry yet, he's made me laugh and enjoy the simple things. Sure, we argue most of the time but it's not toxic. We do it because we're both scared of our feelings. Love has been thrown in our face by life, who has malevolently twisted it in front of us. It's taken people we love away from us. It's laughed about it.
Well, that's all about to change. I'm going to take some control now and get the guy I love.
"Kai, I love you," I announce, wholeheartedly meaning it.
Kai looks taken aback. He stares directly into my eyes, searching for any deceit. When he finds none, he takes a hesitant step closer. Slowly, his hand begins to reach for my face. I remain frozen, watching him watching me.
When his hand comes into contact with my face, it feels like a parade has gone off in my stomach. I feel elated and alive. God, it's like a breath of fresh air in my lungs.
His hand caresses my cheeks lightly, his warm hands lighting up my face. I lean into his touch and place my hand over his, all the while keeping my eyes on him. Hope and love flashes through his eyes making me smile.
"I'm so sorry I've been like an enigma. I guess you really do discover how important the people you've lost are. Kai, I've been in love with you for a while but I've just been misreading the signs. I--"
"Not now," Kai cuts me off. He steps closer and flickers his eyes to my lips. Oh, how I want his lips on mine, devouring me.
Knowing he wants to kiss me, I waste no time in smashing my lips to his. An explosion of passion and pleasure hits me, hard. I moan into his mouth and run a hand through his soft hair. One of his hands is now on my waist whilst another is holding my neck. I fist a chunk full of his shirt into my hand and kiss him like it's the last time I'll ever kiss him.
I don't pay attention when Kai lifts me up or when I wrap my legs around his waist. I also fail to notice when I'm lying on the bed with him on top of me.
