Chapter 43
(The Waiting Door)
The tape he was holding fell from his hand and he unconsciously moved his hand to her neck as she wrapped his hand around it.. He unlocked the kiss and stared deep into her eyes.
It was like he could see her soul, it was like he could practically read everything about her, his eyes moved from her eyes down to her lips in a very fast move. Never have she seen such a fast movement with his hands on her waist. That dragged her impossibly closer to him, his cologne hitting her hardly. She can never forget the smell of his cologne, a mixture of mint and coconut. He must be a lover of mint. But it seems the coconut could be from his body cream or lotion…
Kim, he whispered her name out she could barely make out what he said apart from her name.
” Why did you kiss me ?” He asked and I gulped down nothing..
I found myself giving him a reply despite wanting more of his lips…
“I don’t know, I just want to own every part of you. I find myself being drawn to you, your soul, body and heart… I wanted to say more than this, I know I might sound stupid but you will be the first person I ever kissed willingly.. I just want to be away from bad energy and I found you” Kimberly confessed. Although she wanted to give a brief of how she was feeling, she ended up confessing her feelings to a newbie in her school and also in her class…
She suddenly felt shy because of the way Raiden was staring at her, he wasn’t saying anything, his expression was blank. One can’t detect what’s going on in his mind and it was making things complicated for Kim because right in her mind she has been thinking he doesn’t like her. She was scared of getting rejected.
She’s the type that brags a lot about not confessing her feelings to a guy first but right here she is praying against rejection in her mind..
“Raiden” She called, as she redrew her hand around his waist and the other around his neck.
“Kimberly” he called her name with his voice. It was as if that voice was among his hidden voices. Because it was the sweetest voice someone has used to call her name..
“Don’t reject — Without waiting for her reply his lips crash on hers, his tongue teasing her teeth asking for entrance which she gladly opens up……
It went on for minutes and Kimberly redrew from the kiss trying to catch her breath.
“He’s a good kisser” She thought, turning her face away from him..
“Kimberly” He called and she gazed at him.
“I think we should take things slowly, I’m not rejecting you but you can give me a few days to think about your request… I’m not sure of my feelings yet, I just want to be sure of my feelings…”He said and took a deep breath…
She shuttered “I I I understand” She rushed her words which made Raiden to chuckle.. He took her hand and left the room and also out of the bar..
“How did you get my number ?” He asked.
“I got it from your new friends” She answered…
“Oh!” He exclaimed and continued…
“You should get your face treated, the bruises are visible already” Raiden said as Kimberly stopped in front of his house..
“I will get it treated, thanks for saving me Raiden” she appreciated with a satisfying smile..
“It’s nothing” he replied and opened the car door.. but Kimberly was fast enough to stop him.
“You said I should give you a few days to think about my request” Kimberly said nervously.. And he nodded positively.
“Can you pick a day or date?” Kimberly asked.
“Give me three days” Raiden said and shut the door and the car light went off.
“Why did you shut the door?. Aren’t you going out of the car” Kimberly asked, using her hand to search for the car light switch but Raiden took her hand away from it and moved closer to face…
“My mom was watching from the window but she will be happy though..” He said with a smile on his face, Kim couldn’t see it but she sensed he was smiling.
“She will be happy” Kimberly asked..
“Yes, she will think I got another girl after years of being broken,” He explained.
“Were you heartbroken before?” She asked. And he nodded..
“I just wish I will be able to bring that cheerful Raiden” Kimberly said and laughed which took him to a total shock.
“Did I just laugh ?” He asked no one in particular.
“I made you smile” Kimberly blushed and pulled him closer which resulted in a deep kiss.
“Thanks for dropping me” Raiden said and waved his hand at her and she smiled. He stood outside till he couldn’t get a glimpse of her car from a far distance.
Mrs Walker smiled. The same thing goes with Kalani..
“Tell us who she is ??” Kalani pouted..
“Whatever or whoever she is, is none of your business.” Raiden scolded.
“You should tell us you have moved on” Mrs Walker smiled..
“She’s no one mom” Raiden replied with a frown.
“Is she your new girlfriend ?” Kalani asked curiously…
“Kalani” he yelled..
“Yell at me, that won’t stop me from finding out who she is, I will find out. Big head” Kalani muttered angrily.
“Why are you in pain ?” Raiden chuckled..
“Why won’t I, when you don’t tell me things ?” She said almost close to tears.
“Like Seriously, this is happening for real” He gasped and took a step closer to Kalani’s seat.
“She’s someone have not studied her character but she has grown feelings for me.” Raiden confessed.
“Do you have feelings for her?” Mrs Walker asked..
“I’m not sure mom, I told her to give me three days to think about it” Raiden answered politely.
“She asked you out,” Kalani asked with widened eyes. And he nodded positively.
“That’s a lot of courage” Mrs Walker said and stood up on her feet…
“You should move on, summer won’t be coming back” Kalani smiled, pecking his cheeks.
Kimberly smiled with a cheerful feeling as she took her ears away from the window. Actually she didn’t drive down their street. She walked back to their compound to give Raiden his ear phones and met them in a tight conversation.
She smiled and walked out of the compound and headed down to her car.
