When Kai reached the table the question that has been lingering on my mind for awhile now came out
"Why the heck do you keep on ditching me?!?" it came out so bluntly and coldly which made him look at me sorrily and making me feel totally guilty. I see him looking at the table, and unconciously I did too. Surprised I see Cat crumpling the second wrapper of the Cheezys burger, and opening up the third one. I can't believe it, I mean we started eating at the same time, I'm not even midway yet and she's already preparing to eat the third one. I look up at Kai and motions to the seat in front of me, he sits, and I hand him the other DChicken burger and the Poke soda.
I opened my mouth to ask Cat a question, but immediately closed it, seeing Cat, busying herself with her burger. Which got me the giggles. I tried holding it back, inhaling and exhaling almost at the same time. But every time I glance at Cat, the giggles goes back. Kai looks at me, questioningly. That's when I can't hold it anymore and I laughed. Cat looked at me confusingly and worriedly.
"Sorry, it's just that... You really seem hungry" I see her flush beet red. Embarassed? Maybe. Kai reminds me most of the time that I should think before I speak, since I have the habit of telling people what comes out first from my mind. Speaking of which I see Kai glaring slightly at my direction.
"Sorry" I muttered, I glanced cautiously at Cat, I see her drinking her water, I looked at Kai, he was already midway on his burger, and I'm still way far from it. I take a bite... then another... and another... and~.... I choked. I bang my fist in my chest and drank my water
"Idiot" Kai tells me, which makes me pout. There's no way I'll finish last "Just slow it down, it's not like we're going to leave you anyways" I look at him, the tone of his voice was different than the usual. Upset? Irritated? Nope, no. Tired? Yes, definitely, and Annoyed? But of what?
"Kai? Are you okay?" he looks at me eyebrow rising
"I'm fine" he breathes out
"You don't seem like so" he takes a long pause before saying
"It's nothing don't worry" I look at him worriedly
"If its the food, you only have to pay me for the food for the two of us. Its me who's treating Cat, not you" he looks at me surprise and relief on his face. Then he shakes his head, as if to say no
"It's not the food.. No worries.. Somethings just on my mind, don't worry"
"Is this about what Rick has told you?" he looks at me confusingly. And I remember, I'm not supposed to know whatever it is that Eldrick and him has talked about
"What?" he asks. I need to find an excuse. He's looking at me suspiciously now
"Ummm... Uhh... Nothing ahh... nope that's uhh..." I take a bite from my burger, chewing slowly. Avoiding answers. Cat looks at me, like Kai, she's also seems to be waiting for some answers, I focused on finishing my burger. Trying to eat as slowly as possible. It's so good that I wanted to gobble it all up in one go, which is at the same I didn't want to
I see Kai and Cat looking at each other, still seems to be waiting for some answers. When my phone rang. Life Savior, but when I looked at the caller, my blood froze, on the screen, the number encrypted was only owned by one person and that's Eldrick Weinston
