Dyad // Kai Parker

Chapter Eighteen

Waking up the next day was far less chaotic then normal. The doors were unlocked and the windows open so that the house didn't melt me again. Kai was already awake and i was in a fantastic mood. Our little trip out yesterday had me sparked with happiness and i wanted to show it partially because there was no one there to dim my mood.

"What are we cooking today?" I announced my presence in the kitchen slapping my hands together ready to cook up a storm with Kai.

"We are not cooking anything, i am." I rolled my eyes with a shrug, if he doesn't want my fabulous skills in the kitchen so be it.

"Don't give me that look I've seen you burn toast and eat it." Ah he has me there, but listen technically the bread is still in there once you get past the crunch. After the sizzling and madness of chef Kai had played out, a breakfast cob was placed in front of me. Hash brown, bacon, sausage, egg. Basically heaven in a cob. Kai sat across from me with his own and passed me the ketchup.

Honestly I'm just leaching off of him at this point, i eat his food, wear his clothes, drink his alcohol. However i do clean but there's only two of us so its not really a lot. When i bit into my food the reaction was the same as all the other times. So was the victorious smile that kai always seemed to wear when he caught my appreciation. 

"Your happy with me." He stated gesturing with his hand over to me, i rose a brow questioningly and he elaborated.

"When you were with bonnie and Damon you were, guarded. I watched you for months and you hid everything. Like it was a crime to laugh or let them see how you were feeling." I took another bite of my cob pouting with a playful glare.

"So, I'm sure you can relate to being emotionless." I defended challengingly.

"Yeah but i am emotionless, you hide yours but they are there. Like when you use to say you were going shopping for clothes when instead you would go to the same house every time and drink." I choked on a little bit of my food and glared at him, was he stalking everyone or just me because I'm pretty sure you cant be at carolines house and the boarding house at the same time.

"My point is, you don't hide what your felling with me. I think its because you trust me isn't it?" I sat with a very straight face because i hadn't noticed my changes around him maybe it was comfort but why would i feel better with someone who literally kidnapped me instead of my sister?

"Even if i do trust you, i trusted bonnie and Damon as well." I pointed my finger at him because i was so confident that i had put an end to this.

"No you don't." He challenged with a smirk and i opened my mouth to argue when he put up a finger to stop me.

"You might trust Damon but bonnie, your sister. You don't, she hurt you multiple times, I've seen it." I glared at him fully now not bothering to let him continue.

"So?! How can you speak when your sister got you trapped here?!" I spat pushing my food away and standing up, he did the same only being separated by the kitchen island.

"I never relied on my sister, i never trusted her. You put your hope in bonnie and she didn't care. That's what separates us, my sisters betrayal should have been expected but against everything you always believe Bonnies shouldn't." He started walking around the table to get to me and i walked half way not backing down.

"You may think you know bu-" 

"I do know, I'm not blinded by the love you have for her because i saw it with my own two eyes. She hurt you when your grandmother died, when in reality whatever she had been doing with bonnie got her killed." He stepped forward i stepped back.

"Then when Elena bit you leaving you to bleed out she rescued them and left you, i wonder if she ever spoke to Elena about biting you in the first place? No?" I backed up again hitting the edge of the work surface.

"Then when you started bonding with me, she killed me without a second thought for the benefit of everyone else. Right in front of your eyes." Tears had started building now because i did not want to hear this, bonnie was my family, the last bit of it.

"You don't have to rely on her, trust her just because she's your sister. It might be hard to hear but bonnie is not someone you trust you just say you do." I narrowed my eyes at kai poking his chest.

"Family might not mean something to you but it means something to me, i will always be there for my sister." He grabbed my hands pinning them together.

"Of course you will, but she wont be there for you." I really felt like drowning him this moment but i also felt like he was right, the proof was there. facts and false hoods separated but to give up on the fact that i could go to bonnie if i needed made the very short list shorter.

"Fine, i don't trust bonnie but that's not why i hide my emotions as you said. That's because every time i showed them they were ignored." I moved out of his grip.

"I was vulnerable when grams died, i let it show and she kicked me whilst i was down, then kol died and she left me sobbing on the floor. Then i told her i didn't feel alone considering i had found you. Each time she didn't take them into consideration so why should i even bother showing her them? I shouldn't" I grabbed my plate because that cob was to good to let go and went to my room, leaving kai with what ever satisfaction he got from making me admit my distrust to my sister.
