Sweet Creature | The stars and the skies.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that they can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

I felt electrified, adrinaline pumped through my vaines, as the hunger of wanting more pulshed through me. It was the same adrinaline rush that I felt when I was in the ring with an opponietnt, the same adrinaline rush I felt when my ego took the best of me. My fist were bloody, not my own but devin's. I smirked at the sight. excited that I was able to draw blood - was it sick? maybe. But now he knew. I taught him a lesson, a lesson that was way past due. I let him make it the very last time, but not tonight. Tonight I was going to teach him to keep his mouth shut, or I was going to gladly do it for him, and I did. The cowards on the basketball team tried so hard to push me off, to stop the masses. Some of which even tried to take matters in their own hands by finding themselves trying to help their team mate. I'm sure I landed some loose blows on a couple of them, some which I knew, others I didn't. Yet, through all of the scuffles I remained unharmed. Trained for years not to lose blood, but to draw it from other. I felt prideful as my mind rushed through the events. It wasn't until the sound of her faint cries brought me back to reality.

Tears pouring down her eyes, I watch as she sobs quietly. My legs went automatically to her side, holding her in my embrace as I wrap my arms around her small frame.

"Hey, Hey what's wrong baby?" I whisper into her ear, as she sobs into my chest.

"This was a mistake"

The words shot through me, as panic began to fill my body.

"I'm so sorry Serenity, I should have never even scooped down to their levels, I just couldn't stand them sitting there making you feel uncomfortable and just watch. I'm so sorry I did that in front of you."

She shakes her head slowly, still sobbing in tears.

"It isn't your fault, it's mine. I should have never brought you here, I was so selfish. I just wanted everyone to know that you were mine, and it was stupid" Serenity blurs.

I let the words sink in. She wanted to show me off? The thought alone brought a smile to my lips. She was so pleased to be mines, that she wanted everyone to know. It wasn't selfishness, but an act of boast. Her own act of pridefulness - and I was the center of that. The thought alone made me happy - Pleased, that she wanted me just as much as I wanted her. Now there was no question about it. No doubt to be had in my mind. I was hers, and she was mine, and that was never going to change. Not ever.

"You're so damn perfect to me, you know that right?" I question, smirking at the thought of her perfection. Her sobs become slightly faint - quieter now.

I wanted to get her out of this bad mood. Tonight was supposed to be a good night, and I wasn't going to let those fools from the party ruin this for us. Instead I was going to turn this night around. But how? What would make her forget about those idiots and focus on the brighter things in life.

That's when it hit me. I remembered a place where I used to go a few years back, when I wanted to escape and clear my thoughts. The place brought me clarity when darkness invaded my thoughts. Lincoln's cliff. A hiking cliff that not many people knew about, and although we would have to hike up to the top, it was worth it. The place had the most amazing view of this small town, and she would love it. I knew that for a fact. I had to at least try to make her feel better.

"I've got a surprise for you that I want to show you" I whisper

I watch as her eyes, full of tears now dry look up at me. Just at the sight of those beautiful syrup brown eyes makes my heart melt. I was literally melting inside, so when I drew her up to my level, and pressed my lips against hers I felt whole again. Craving the warmth of her lips that now belonged to me. Her lips felt like home to me, the only home I've ever known in my life. A sweet sensation of safety and love. An Obits of my heart. She was my heart.

"Do you trust me?" I whispers the words softly as I trace my fingers against her cheeks. Wiping away the leftover tears that lingered.

"Always" She whispered back. Confident and sure.

"Then take my hand, and come with me" I command gently. Laying out my palm for her to take. Giving her the option - Always giving her the option. Without hesitation she takes it. Her touch felt sure, her eyes definite as they locked with mine. I loved those eyes so much, When they fell to my gaze not even words could be formed in my mind when she looked at me with those eyes. Only a feeling, and I couldn't identify what exactly what that feeling before in the past, but now I was sure of it. It was love. I was in love with Serenity Hale. And I never wanted to stop feeling that feeling that only she brought to me. Only her.

" Keep those eyes closed" Kai whispers excitingly in my ear. His cold breath fans against my ear causing me to smile a bit; His giant palms covered my eyes. I couldn't see anything, even if I actually wanted to.I feel the chilling breeze flush against my skin as we hike up a very steep hill. I have no Idea where Kai could have possibly be taken me. Even on the motorcycle ride to the destination he commanded my sight. Wherever we were it had to be high, and long.

" Why do I feel like I'm on top of the world" I say through laughter as we finally come to a stop. Kai places a small kiss on my check before removing his hands.

It was beautiful

I didn't think it was possible; How the lights from the buildings managed to shine brighter than the stars in the sky, or that this breathtaking view could be possible to capture in a town so small and provincial. Yet here we stood. Grasping this beautiful sight. This was a place that I wanted to stay at forever with kai. And in this moment it was ours.

" This is so amazing" I gasp, not taking my eyes off the city lights. I was in complete awe, astounded by its beauty. I haven't been this mesmerized since I first saw Kai. This came second, only to that moment.

Kai chuckles a lightly.

"I knew you'd love it. I used to come here all the time. It was my quiet place when I needed an escape from the world. You're the only person I've ever shown it to" The words drew me to his gaze. Standing in the moonlight with the city lights shining off, made Kai look so perfect. He was so perfect. A sweet heart. And I felt honored that he has opened up so much to me. How did I ever get so worthy to be loved the way Kai loves me. I don't say a word. Words felt too cheap in a moment like this - instead I turn to him, pressing my lips against his and devouring them. I kissed him with so much passion, that I felt it in my bones. It was peaceful. A sweet serenity that calmed my entire body. Being with kai brought a different feeling - this feeling was exactly the one that I had been searching for my entire life. To love, and to be loved. To say that this love was everything that I imagined it would be, was an understatement. It was better than what my imagination could ever go to comprehend. I wanted this to last forever. I wanted Kai forever.

" I think my boldness is rubbing off on you princess" Kai whispers against our lips as I crack a small smile

" Princess is so cliche" I complain. wincing playfully at the words.

Kai pulls back from me; He looks at me for a moment before looking away again. I could tell by the way he studied the air that he was thinking of something. His head finally snaps back towards me, his eyes wide with anticipation.

" What about sweetheart?" Kai questions in excitement and I laugh " Still too cliche" I laugh lightly. Kai runs his hands through his hair as his eyes lock onto mine. He stares at me with difficult eyes - as if trying to think of this master nickname that he could call me. I found the action to be humorous, and cute. How he was so determined to make this perfect.

" I got it.....you'll be my sweet creature" Kai says finally.

I let the name bounce around in my thoughts, and surprisingly I liked the name a-lot. It felt right. Just like kissing, just like being around him. It felt like home. On top of that, it was ridiculously cute, and unique. I give his a huge smile before attaching my lips to his once more. I crave those lips in the most innocent way. I would never get tired of kissing them.

" I love sweet creature" I say against his lips. My arms are wrapped around his neck, and his arms wrapped around my waist; we were perfectly in sync and I didn't want this to end.

" Why are you making me into this person" Kai whispers lightly.

" What person is that?" I question, looking up into his beautiful hazel blue eyes.

" This person who feels things. I've always been alone, depressed, hurt, damaged.....and all it took was for you to look at me with those beautiful syrup brown eyes and I was stuck. Stuck wanting more, stuck craving more. It's like, I just can't help myself but to feel this way about you. And I've always thought that when my mother died that I wasn't going to get that feeling back - the feeling of love. Then I found you, and you; my sweet creature have awoken up my soul, and made it come alive again. You. make. me. feel. alive. again." Kai confesses. The beautiful words, falling from grace, cursing my heart. I wondered if he could hear my heart beat in the silent night. Kai was perfectly imperfect and I loved every single ounce of him. There was no going back on the way he made me feel.

"I feel the exact same way. When my sister died I felt pain, so much pain that I was drowning in it - but the second I saw you in class, I knew. It's like the whole world had shifted to fit the fall. Falling for you Kai, the way rain falls from the sky. Landing perfectly in harmony" I confess.

"I guess all the stars in the skies have finally aligned my sweet creature" Kai whispers.

I nod in agreement. For the rest of the night we admired the view, as we shared our dreams, and surprisingly kai dreams were so fantasizing to me. He wanted two kids, both girls. He wants to be a firefighter, so he could save people's lives. He didn't eat anything yellow, and he only slept on the left side of the bed. His lucky number was 4, and his favorite color was black; He was born on Halloween which he believed for the longest of time that he was cursed because of it, but that curse broken the moment we met. He has high hopes for the future, and I wished, that one day he could fulfill all his hopes.

Maybe one day he could even fulfill them with me.
