A kiss says a thousand words the mouth refuses to blurt out.

"This is so messed up." Dimitri said pacing about restlessly.
"Whoever sent me that message did it on purpose." I said matter of factly.
About an hour after calling Dimitri, he came to my place with some members of his crew, my phone was taken in order to try tracking where the message was sent from. It pointed them to some weird address at the outskirts of L.A.
Part of Dimitri's team set out to the location and after over an hour of driving to the address, they were greeted by an abandoned building that was due for demolishing and the phone was right at the entrance to the building.
Cynical, that's the perfect word to describe the perpetrator.
This information got Dimitri worked up. I know it's hard for him, if anything happens to me, I can't imagine the amount of guilt that'll consume him.
"So am I still going to Oakland for the Christmas break?" I asked breaking the silence.
"If this isn't some sick joke and someone is really unto you, I don't know if it's safe. But the best I can do is come along with you." He said looking deep in thought.
I wanted to tell him not to stress out, but I know he had many reasons to do so. We still have to explain to my mum why he called in sick for me at school on a day when I have exams.
I have this strong conviction that whoever did this is aware that their game will soon be over and is trying to scare us away.
I was still trying to connect the dots when Dimitri's phone rang, he excused himself to pick the call.
Before you go about judging him for getting me involved, you need to understand that it was my personal decision for one, and secondly he's one of the most eligible bachelors in California, he can't go anywhere undercover, people are usually on the look out for him and-
"We have a plan kiddo." Dimitri said with a smile bringing me out of my train of thoughts.
I guess that means good news.
******************************************
After Dimitri and I went over his plan which revolves around a newly gotten information, he left the house back to his office. Not before calling mum and giving her a ridiculous storyline.
I never knew thinking could be exhausting until today, all the brainstorming had drained me.
I was feeling so sleepy but I couldn't get my lazy ass off the couch so I decided to sleep there.
Just as I was drifting off to wonderland, the doorbell rang.
Ugh!!!!
I'm not leaving this spot, whoever it is will get tired and leave.

Five minutes later and the doorbell was still ringing.
Doesn't this person know it's rude to ring the bell after three trials?
"This person better have a good excuse." I said dragging myself to the door.
I opened the door ready to give whoever it was a piece of my mind but the face I was met with was not one I was expecting.
"Hey?" Damon said unsurely.
"Hey, come in." I said getting my s**t back in place. "And what has brought me this visit by the royal highness Damon Salvador himself?" I asked sarcastically.
"Well for someone who is sick you seem to be very bubbly." His statement was filled with accusation.
Damn!
I totally forgot Dimitri called in sick for me. Thank God this isn't a teacher if not I'll be in serious trouble.
"Care to tell me what's really going on?" Damon asked while making himself comfortable on the couch.
"Feel at home Damon." I said sarcastically.
He didn't give me one of those annoying comebacks which I must say is a good thing.
"So?" He asked looking at me like I had the answer to some million dollar question.
"So?" I replied.
"You're obviously not sick Kim. What's really going on?" All traces of humor were now gone from his features.
"It's no big deal, some family issue just came up that's all." I said passively.
"And by family issues you mean that weird guy that was here some time last week yeah? You've been acting strange ever since that day." He stated.
"First off, Dimitri isn't some weird guy and it has nothing to do with him. For your information, I've not been acting strange, you're the one who's been giving me weird looks at school without saying a word." I was a little angry if I'm being honest.
"Well Dimitri seems to be around you a lot since I still saw him this morning. And surprisingly you decide to skip school that same day. What a coincidence?" The irritation in his voice while mentioning Dimitri's name and the accusing look he had on were really beginning to piss me off.
"And what exactly are you driving at?" I asked returning just the same vibe of disgust to him.
"I don't know, maybe Dimitri is some bad guy who has Kimora Martins as his little secret. If you're into older guys it's not a problem but at least you should tell your friends."
I'd have found this statement very hilarious if it was in another setting but the tone of judgement and anger with which Damon made this statement was enough to make me feel like hitting him right in his family jewels.
"Do you even listen to yourself before speaking? If Dimitri was my boyfriend or play toy as you're implying, do you think everything with Miller would have happened? You're such an asshole you know. You just had to ruin all the good you did when you helped me few weeks ago with this." I was yelling at him and my ears were getting hot due to anger.
"Then who is Dimitri, because he gives all the wrong vibes at first glance. Sorry for trying to be a good friend by keeping an eye on you. You can go f**k whoever you want." Was this a yelling contest?Damon's voice was so f*****g loud and his last statement was louder and echoing.
How dare him imply I'm a slut!!
"Dimitri is my uncle dammit! What's wrong with you?" I said angrily shoving him to the ground.
Damon didn't even looked fazed by my rage. He just stood up and gave me a glare.
"Why the hell will you insinuate that I sleep around?! You could have just walked up to me and asked me about him after you saw him that day." I said shoving him angrily.
I wanted him to react so I'll have more reasons to scream at him or even hit him, but he was acting so calm and it was beginning to annoy me.
"Like you'd have told me about him so easily." He said with a knowing smirk and that's when it clicked.
The asshole had just said all those things to rile me up and make me spill.
"The nerve of you Damon. You don't get to-"
Damon's lips unexpectedly came crashing down on mine and the rest of my very colorful words were muffled.
Was my brain telling me this was a bad idea? Yes.
Did I want him to stop? No.
Was I liking this? I'll let you guess.
I was brought back to reality when I felt Damon's hands sliding into my shirt.
Oh my f*****g ovaries! His hands feel amazing.
Without thinking further, I started kissing him back.
So much for being mad at him!
I pulled at his hair and I guess Damon liked it since he groaned and pulled me closer to himself.
I'd have let this go as far as it could, but I knew better than doing things in the heat of the moment so I pulled away from him.
Damon being the asshole he is had a victorious smirk on his face.
"Don't you dare use that tone on me ever again Damon Salvador because I won't spare you next time." I said trying my best to sound as threatening as possible.
"Yeah right." He said mockingly and pulled me into a hug.
I don't what this meant for Damon and I but for once in the last two years, the idea of being in a relationship didn't sound repulsive.
I guess I was really moving on from the hurt of my past relationship.
At least something good came out of this disastrous day.
