Rename the White and Black

CHAPTER X - KISS

“You’re jealous?” I directly asked him that made him silent and he sat properly. I looked at his reactions and I saw him blushing again.

“I am not jealous to him. Why would I?” he answered seriously while I saw his tiny droplets of sweat on his face, neck and arms. I came closer to him and I smelled his favorite perfume, and he added, “And if you’re thinking that I like you, it’s nothing. I don’t like you.”

I wanted to tease him for once. He stood up and I grasped his shirt. I went out of balance that was why I fell on his top. He frowned at me and pushed me slowly away from him.

I remembered how he did to my cellphone and I was surprised to what he replied to Haji, “Thank you. I can handle myself.”

Wait, why did he reply to Haji? I thought his head was hot whenever it comes to Haji. He really looked jealous.

3am. I slept without Kai beside me.

8am. When I woke up in the morning, I noticed that Kai was sleeping calmly beside me. His face was near to my face an inch. He was hugging me and my left thigh was on his thighs. My face turned red before he opened his eyes.

“Are you enjoying the view?” he asked and I removed my thigh on him and I tried to get free from his hug but he refused. He hugged me so tight and I felt his shoulders were flexed. I could not help myself getting off with this man. He was pissing me off.

“What are you doing? Get off me.” I tried to get rid of him but he did not let me go from his tight hug. “What are you doing?” I hissed. I tried to push him hard and I thought I did it but he accidentally pulled me down to the bed. I felt the rushing flow of my blood and sweat was around my upper body.

I was surprised in the awkward position. I was on top of him and my lips were on his lips. My hands on his chest were shaking. I looked at his eyes like he was not blinking. I tried to get away from him but he touched my nape and he closed his eyes.

My heart beats rapidly. What was he thinking? My eyes widened when he started to move his lips and I felt its softness. Was this they called a ‘kiss’? I think I was blushing again and I stopped myself from breathing. He stopped kissing me and he smirked.

“Just breathe while we’re kissing, please.” he tenderly said. I was stunned when he was about to kiss me again. I put my two fingers between our lips. I think that it was the right thing to stop him from kissing me again. He was really an i***t! He stole my first kiss. I reserved it for my future husband and he – he stoled it! Wait, he was my future husband, right?

No, he was not!

“Thi-this is not right.” I stuttered and I stood up. I fixed my night dress and added, “Sorry. I still have my dignity. I know that you don’t like me so please, don’t take an advantage of me. I was not an easy to get.” I went to the bathroom and washed my face. I wiped my lips many times and I felt shy to him. I cried because he got my first kiss and I could not recover quickly.

I did not expect that my first kiss was stolen by him. I regret to what I did to him awhile ago. I touched my lips, thinking that his kiss was sweet.

No! Stop this! I washed my face again.

I went out at the bathroom with a sad face and I saw him leaning on the wall but I ignored him. “If it was your first kiss, I’m sorry. It was my first too.” he said sincerely and I faced him.

“I know. It was an accidental kiss. I’m sorry too.” I sincerely said. I got my clothes from my bag and went again to the bathroom. It was his first kiss too and he was my first kiss. Wait, it was getting hot here.

I removed the brown make up on my whole body and it turned to an ivory color of my skin. May be, if I did not put this kind of make up, would he like me? Oops, what was I thinking of? Just stop thinking like that.

I rushed to finish my bath and I put again my specialized make up to the exposed areas that people could see my natural skin color. I put on my lilac colored long sleeves and black pants. I went out of his room and I saw him sitting at the couch, reading something at his cellphone.

“I’m going home. Thank you for accepting me last night.” I said smiling and before I opened the door, he hugged me at my back. He tightly hugged me, his arms were on my stomach and I wondered why he did this. “Wh-what are yo-you doing?” I stuttered.

“This is your home.” he whispered to my ears. I felt his breathing heavily.

“I’m going home.” I said again so he freed me from his tight hug.

“Okay, fine. I will take you to your home.” he offered. Me? Taking me at my home? Why?

“I can go alone to my house.” I said against him, making him disappointed. I opened the door and walked away but he followed me. He reached for my right hand and I stopped walking. “I can do it.”

“I’ll take you to your home whether you like it or not.” he said seriously, his eyes were worried and I accepted his offer before he turned to be a monster. I allowed him to go inside our mansion and I made him snacks.

“So, this is your house – I mean, your mansion?” he asked and I nodded. He seemed to look around the whole living room. “Are you alone in this whole and big mansion?” I nodded again and he added, “ How about your maids?”

“We have no maids here.” I answered and I put some cookies on the two bowls and two pineapple juice on a tray. “Since I was studying.”

“How about your parents?”

“They were working abroad, busy with our family’s company and I was left here to study.”

“It’s a boring life.” He walked near at me and hugged me at my back. “How could it be if we would be living in the same roof for real?”

“Wait, we will just be apart after a year, right?” I asked him with a surprised look. He freed me and he made me to face him. Our faces were closed to each other. We were surrounded by a hot atmosphere and I saw him blushing, looking at my eyes.

“I don’t know.” he answered and he was slowly getting closer at my face. I closed my eyes; waiting for his kiss. Did I say, “kiss”?

No! It could not be a kiss. He was just making fun of me. Please, always remember that this was just his joke, making me fool everyday.

He laughed a little when I opened my eyes. Really, I was right! This was a joke. I almost fell to his bait.

“Why do you always wear long sleeves? You looked different last night.” he commented and it made me felt the goose bumps at my back. Was he suspecting my identity? My eyes widened as I remember my old pictures displayed in my room. If he would see those pictures, he would think everything he wanted and he would think that I was a liar. Oh, no! I was in a big trouble now.

“I just wanted the semi-formal attire.” I answered bitting my lower lip. He went near a picture frame and I felt nervous.

“Who’s this?” he asked curiously, looking at my picture clearly. I came next to him and I saw myself at the picture smiling. It was taken when I was six year old and I was wearing a white dress on the photo, showing my ivory colored skin. “Is this you?”

“Yes, it’s my edited picture.” I answered quickly.

“You mean, you dreamed being all white?” he laughed a little. He was really making fun of me and I was totally pissed off.

“Yes, I wanted to have a white skin.” I lied.

The heavy rain fell and it seemed to be like a storm so, I did not allow him to get home. It was my second time I brought a man in this mansion. Only Haji was allowed to be with me because he and his family were one of our family friends.

Wait, we were just alone, what if he could do something to me? How could I get away from him?

“I’m sleepy.” he said and it was already two in the afternoon when he stopped scrolling his cellphone.

“So, just sleep in the guest room.”

“I want to go in your bedroom.” he said with a sleepy sound of his voice. He was like a drunk man wishing to go at my bedroom.

“No. You should not go to my room and may be, you’re going to do things that I don’t like.” I frowned. He came at me and his head fell on my shoulder. I touched his forehead and I realized that he was having a high fever. I took him to our guest room, struggling with his heavy weight and I gave my full strength to make him lay at the bed.
