'Mindset is one's biggest foe.'
We walk into Kai's room and am grinning from left to right.
Does being in a relationship feel this good? Or is it that maybe mine and Kai's is special?
He guides me to the living room of his suite.
"Order room service, I will change quickly and come back to you." I nod my head still grinning like he just handed me a million-dollar check.
I walk to the telephone and order food for us before I walk back to the floor-to-ceiling window that I love about this hotel.
The design of the colorful straps that are oblique all around the building gets me all the time.
It gives the building a shade like that of a rainbow.
Am mesmerized by what I am seeing when I feel strong arms gulf me closer to a hard chest.
I am surprised because I didn't hear him come closer but am also surprised by how the position we are in makes me feel.
I love the feeling of it, and I love the feeling of these being all a first for me because I doubt it would feel this special if it wasn't my first.
He leans his chin on my shoulder and then circles his arms around my stomach.
"What were you thinking about?" He asks.
"I love this hotel," I say and I can feel him grin because his stables tickle my cheek.
I move myself to turn around and hug him in the front wanting to look at his handsome face.
'Really what was in me when I ran away from him?'
I put my arms around his neck and he puts his around my waist and draws me closer to him.
I look up in his blue eyes.
"I also love your blue eyes." He reaches his hands to push away some hairs that fallen on my face.
"You didn't answer my question."
"I think I did."
He shakes his head, and protests. "No, you didn't."
"I told you I love this hotel, looking out at these straps feels like staring at the rainbow. It's so pretty."
He brings his hand rests his palm on my cheek and says. "It is not as pretty and beautiful as you are." I look away feeling suddenly shy.
I keep realizing I have been missing on a lot but I doubt it would feel this magical, and so special if it wasn't for Kai.
"Why are you shying away? You know I never imagined you to be this shy?"
"Am not shy."
"Yes you are, I tell you you are pretty and beautiful and you are shying away."
"Am not," I say defensively and he just chuckles at me, thinking of what to do when there is a knock on the door.
He pulls back and goes to get it while I stay behind not believing this is how I am feeling.
He pushes in the cart of the food, I walk to him and help him serve.
"No need, I got it." I nod and go sit and wait for him to serve me.
I know he would have still served me regardless of our newfound relationship but am still flattered by the gesture.
He serves me a plate before he sits beside me.
"Let's move our seats and go and sit on the floor facing the windows." He turns to look at what am implying and then back at me but before he says anything, I reach for his plate take mine, and walk to sit on the floor leaning on the couch in his living while staring outside.
I hear him follow me and I smile to myself, he comes and sits down beside me, his legs are much longer than mine but he bends them and rests the left over the right one.
"This is crazy." He says but I just smile at him. "Don't say it when I haven't made you feed me yet."
He chuckles and I smile too.
"I would rather." He says and stops before he continues. "Or do you do this to all your boyfriends?" I feel something twirl in me when he calls himself my boyfriend.
'I got a boyfriend.'
It's a new world that am still trying to get used to.
"So you are my boyfriend?" I take a bite and turn to him.
"What do you want me to be? Your fiancé or your husband? Tell me what you want. I will be whatever."
I choke on the word husband.
"Husband?" I ask and he just smiles before he leans in to kiss me.
This is our second kiss, my second kiss but am also surprised at how experienced I am.
I don't have a problem moving my lips with his this time, I could tell he's got control of it but I don't care.
What matters is the pleasures I get.
He pulls back and I open my eyes that I had closed.
He grins at me. "I could even be your fuck buddy."
I could feel my eyes grow inches bigger than they were when I registered what he just said.
"You are crazy," I say and he laughs.
"You should have seen your face." He says laughing and I glare at him.
"I hate you."
"Oh, babe." He says moving closer to me, I pretend to be angry but I can feel my heart rate rising as he gets closer to me.
He leans into me and starts by pouting his lips on my skin, I can feel the sensation instantly hit me in between my legs and it makes me close my legs tightly together.
He moves his lips to the spot right under my ear and sucks on it, a moan escapes from my lips.
I love that he doesn't stop and just keeps filling me up with his lips on my skin but still, we are interrupted by a phone ringing.
He clears his throat and moves back a little, I reach for my phone behind the couch we are leaning our backs on and am surprised when I see it is my sister.
"Savannah, hey," I say feeling the surprise still hitting me from her call.
"Where are you Sam?" She asks and am caught off guard by it.
I would love to tell her where I am and what I am up to but I feel like I want to keep what I am starting with Kai to us for the time being.
I turn to look at Kai and bite on my lower lip as I think of what to say.
"Am out with a friend," I say and he raises his eyebrow at me.
I just shrug my shoulders hoping he will understand that am not hiding him but this feels so special to me that I feel like I want to explore it with only him and me before I bring it on to somebody else.
"You are out with a friend," she repeats after me and I frown wondering if she is not buying it.
"Can I come too?" She asks and it makes me choke on nothing.
"Sav, a few minutes ago you weren't talking to me and now you randomly call me asking to come and hang out with my friend like everything is normal? I mean what is going on?" I ask her and she takes some time before she replies.
"What? Don't you want us to move on?"
"I mean yes, I would love to but we need to talk first. You need to tell me where I messed up so I won't do it the next time."
"Then let me come to where you are?" The persistence seems kind of off because I know Sav is anything but a bagger. Give her what she wants Instantly or she will work to any lengths to get it herself no matter what.
I know her for asking only once.
"We can't talk with another party with us. Where do you want to meet me and talk? Out or at home?" I say and I hope she goes with it.
"Out. Remember the place you posted and I told you I want you to take me there?" She asks and it takes me some time before I remember what she is talking about.
"Yes."
"Let's go there then, send me the location pin." She says and she doesn't give me the time to answer back.
I just sigh tiredly before I turn to Kai and say to him.
"That was my sister." I quickly share with her the location pin of the hotel before I turn my attention back to him.
He nods his head as he moves closer to me again.
"A friend uh?" He asks laying tingling kisses on my neck and I like how tinkling it is. Am enjoying his lips on my skin when I feel him start tinkling me with his fingers out of nowhere.
I try to jump out of surprise but he holds me back as he moves on top of me trapping me in between his legs and tinkles me so hard that I feel like am going to do every bad thing that is out there to be done for him to stop.
"Kai, pleeeeeeee." I don't get to finish because am laughing so hard that it's starting to be painful. "Ple….Thhhh…..oh….ma…. God." I pause and laugh again.
My stomach is hurting.
"Please stop. Kai."
He looks at me and he finally stops.
I try to catch my breath but I feel like I just run a hundred miles.
"So am I your friend?" I quickly rush to answer back.
"No sir."
"Sir?" He repeats it like he is questioning me back.
I don't have time to catch up again before he tinkles me again.
I close my eyes and feel the pain come again from all the laughing.
'Am going die,' I hear my inner self say to me and I know it's true.
My lungs aren't functioning, I can feel them get tight and breathing getting harder and harder with each passing second.
I think Kai realizes it and also stops.
I pull myself up and try to concentrate on catching my breath again as I think about each inhale and exhale I am making.
It takes a few minutes before am back on track of breathing.
Kai hands me a glass of water and I drink some. I give him back the glass and sigh.
"What was the last one for?" I ask because I seriously don't know.
The last time I started working as his secretary he got mad for not addressing him formally and now?
I look at him and he looks back at me.
"Would you like to be my uhm girlfriend?" Hearing his question brings a bright smile to my face.
I put my hands around his neck and pulled him a little closer to me.
"Are you asking me like this?" I ask back just to tease him.
He smiles at me shyly and I realize it's my first time seeing him feel shy.
"I don't know if you want me on my one knee which I would do if you wanted and I know this is not the cheesy teen proposal that you probably deserve but I wanted to put a name on our thing so you know what to call me."
"I know what to call you." He rolls his eyes and it makes me smile because he looks funny.
"Yeah, a friend or sir." He says mocking me and it's my time to roll my eyes.
"So what should I call?" I ask but he just leans in to kiss me on the lips which I don't complain at.
We move our lips together and this time we are in sync like our lips were made to be moving with one another like they are.
It's a slow kiss and I love how it fills me with butterflies and how much it makes me feel excited and at the same time so nervous at the core.
"Still not with a name."
I pull him back to me.
"One more kiss like that and I will get the name."
He doesn't deny me, he leans back to me and moves his lips in sync with mine.
The kiss feels much sweeter as he keeps on deepening it, he pulls back at the same time my phone starts ringing again.
"Now I know you are my boyfriend," I say to him as I reach for my phone but before I answer it he holds my hand with my phone in his.
"That's not a name." He says growling but not harsher at the same time.
"I know," I say trying to buy time because I don't know what to do. Why doesn't he get that this is my first damn relationship?
I am not experienced in this, I don't know what to do.
He doesn't let go of my hand and just keeps staring at me but I have a feeling it's Savannah calling me.
"Please let me take the call, it might be my sister and she is coming here."
"You invited your sister here?" He finally let go of my hand but when he did, I did not answer him. I just take the call before it stops ringing.
"Sam, I've arrived." She says.
"Try to find your way to the restaurant, am already there."
"Fine, but if am lost better be ready to come and fetch me."
"Yeah, no problem with that too," I say to her and we hang the phone and I turn to look at Kai.
I try to push him off of me.
"I gotta go, Kai, my sister is downstairs waiting for me in the restaurant."
He moves to the side.
"Why did you bring her here?"
I jump on my feet and try to fix my hair, look, and clothes before I turn back to him.
"It's a long story. Am sorry am cutting our first time together this short."
"Yeah, you got some mending to do."
"I accept," I say and move closer to him and lean into him to kiss him a quick goodbye kiss but it so happens for him to pull me back to him and deepen the kiss.
I don't pull back because, in a just small amount of time, I've grown so addicted to his lips like never. I don't even think I will ever get tired of them soon.
But on second thinking, I know I need to hurry to my sister if I want to mend things with her.
So I pull back and smile at him.
"See you later Kai," I say and lean in to peck him quickly.
I know I have to go but am so regretting allowing my sister to meet me here now.
I look back at Kai and I wonder, 'What the hell I am doing?'
This feels like my little paradise that I don't want to part from.
