Losing Your Memory ° Kai Parker

Chapter 17

Author's note
How do we feel about the new cover? Honestly I am really bad at making these stuff but I think this is okay. Anyway I wanted to thank you for reading this story I am really excited to write the next chapters.

Btw because evermore by Taylor dropped I want to put one song for each chapter. Maybe I'll choose something from folklore but I would really like if you guys played the song while reading because it really inspires me.

"Oh I can't stop you putting roots in my dream land."

Jennifer's pov

I layed on the bed beside Kai, hearing him breath for what felt like forever.

My hand was laying on his bare chest, rising and falling at the pace of his breathing.
I didn't sleep much. It wasn't because I didn't feel tired, in fact I felt a bit exhausted. But I didn't know when I would have the chance again to see Kai be so peaceful.
I moved my head up a little so I could have a better view of his face.
His lips were slightly apart and his eyes were shut just a tud too tight. I also noticed there was a ghost of a frown in his face. He was probably in deep sleep, dreaming.
I didn't want to wake him up but the urge inside me to touch him, made my hands move on their own accord.
My finger traced his light pink lips and then moved to his cheek.
Kai slightly shifted and I was afraid I had woken him up.
A wave of anxiety washed over me at the thought of disturbing his sleep. A part of me was afraid of causing any inconvenience because there was a chance he would get angry. Maybe he would loose his temper and snap.

But this isn't normal to think about someone you want to develop a closer relationship with.

I slowly retracted my hand. Suddenly the warmth of his body didn't provide comfort. The feeling of his bare skin on mine made the places he was touching me burn and I felt an urge to get away.

I realized I was getting too paranoid. Surely Kai wouldn't snap at me because I accidentally woke him up.

Deciding it would be better if I left. I tried to break free from his arm, that was around my waist but the more I tried to break free the more his grip was becoming tigher.

"You know dumping a guy after you had sex is a really low move, Jenn." He said, his eyes still shut.

I tried to chuckle to cover up how daunted I was but it came out very awkward.
Kai opened his eyes, picking up at the nervousness of my voice and studied me.

"What's wrong?" He asked, still trying to understand what had happened.

I pressed my lips together, trying to think of what I could say as an excuse. I could say I was simply thinking of going back so that Elena and Stefan wouldn't suspect something was up.
But then again I wouldn't be that nervous around him because of that.

"It's nothing I just didn't want to wake you up." I said sheepishly.

Kai's laugh made me look up. I didn't expect this reaction exactly. His head was still on the pillow, his right hand was covering his eyes.
After he stopped he adjusted his pillow and layed with his back on the bed post.

"You were afraid I would snap if you woke me up?" He asked, this time a bit more serious.

I sighed and tucked the bed sheets closer to my naked body. There was a hint of concern in his blue eyes that made slightly less uncomfortable.
I looked down at my hands again.
"Yes." I admitted with a hint of embarrassment.

Kai didn't respond but I felt a hand caressing my arm. My eyes followed the movement of his thumb that was drawing circles on my skin.
"I don't want you to be afraid of me." He said finally.
