Kai and Catherine spent the entire day just having fun and enjoying each other’s company. Kai wouldn’t have it any other way, and Catherine was more than grateful for this moment with him.“I’m really glad we decided to do this.” Catherine said, her eyes closed as she rested against his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat as if it were a lullaby.“I know,” Kai responded, his hand resting on her stomach. The day had been so peaceful and playful that they didn’t even get the spare minute to think about anything other than them.The night plunged deeper into darkness, and the both of them didn’t want to fall asleep out of fear that it was all going to be over, but at the same time, they were both looking forward to a new day.The dimly-lit room echoed with the sound of pure silence and bliss that was also loud with worse that they didn’t need to say to each other. At a far distance, they could hear faint croaking and the chirping of birds that hadn’t quite called it a night ye

BACK AT THE GRANT ESTATE.“We can’t tell Kai about this, can we?” Atticus asked, and everyone was silent, neither of them were able to say anything as they stared at the paper in front of them.The silence was a little ominous, they could all feel the sense of foreboding, and it felt like whoever had sent that paper to the front of the Grant’s estate gate had been waiting for the perfect moment.There was a lot of time that they could have struck but for some reason, they had chosen now to send the letter and the day of the charity auction to strike.“Of course we can’t tell Kai,” Teresa responded finally, her voice bringing a halt to the silence as she crumpled the paper and dumped it in the trash with a sigh and a finger running through her hair.“But knowing Kai, there’s a high chance that he would find out even though we don’t say anything.” She sighed again, and even though she was trying to make sure that whatever was going to happen didn’t get to her, there’s no denying that it

“As long as I get to watch you enjoying yourself to your heart’s content, I’ll be alright.” He finished.Those words, as childish and little as they might seem, had hit her right in her chest. He was telling her that she could indulge as much as she wanted and he would always be there not to judge her, but to make sure she’s enjoying herself.“I was just kidding,” Catherine laughed, the butterflies in her stomach fluttering around. “If I ate that much, I’d weigh about 6 million pounds.” She laughed.Kai laughed too before his expression turned serious. “Then I’d have to train my arms and body so that I can lift you up anywhere.”Catherine was enjoying herself so much that she was starting to feel like she was doing something wrong. She laughed wholeheartedly, she was happy, and everything was going so well, until….“Oh, look who it is.” Catherine turned in the direction of the voice the moment she saw Kai’s happiness veered quickly to sadness and then anger. The switch was too quick.

“I’m so full, I don’t know if I’ll be able to eat anything anymore, like, ever.” Catherine said just as she finished her second ice cream with about four different flavors piled up on each other.She’d had so much fun, and had even been able to join in on so much more fun that she didn’t know she’d be able to. The ice cream place was bigger than she expected, and she couldn’t help but be grateful to Kai for making an appointment.Ever since Kai had come into her life, even though the danger was imminent and both their powers were needed to help the world become a better place, she’s been having so much fun.Most of her life, she’d always thought that she didn’t deserve to have fun. Her powers hadn’t awakened at all then, so she had to do everything she could to be loved and approved of.But, ever since Fabio Grant found her, he’d always enabled her to live freely and not care about what anyone else thought. He was the reason she grew into the adult that did her thing without caring.A

“I’m not going to agree to that, Kai. I stand on the fact that I’m the one with more love to give than you.” Catherine said as they both walked down the stairs.They had already gotten ready for their ice cream date, and the reservation Kai had made to surprise her. Teresa rolled her eyes when she heard the reason for their argument and she just walked away.“You both have fun eating ice cream and arguing over who loves who the most,” she said as she walked past Kai and Catherine. “I and the boys have important things to take care of.” She added.“Guys, is there any way I could sneak out with you? I know you’re going on a date on your break, and I promise that I’m not going to get in your way….”“I pissed Teresa off real bad, and I’m guessing this ‘important thing to take care of’ consists of burying my body. So, is there a—”“What are you trying to do, Atticus?” Teresa asked from behind Atticus who froze up mid-sentence as he stared at Kai, practically begging him to help him out wit

“Seriously, I can’t believe that I actually believed you.” Catherine said amidst laughter as she got off of Kai, and made her way to the bathroom to wash her face.“Remind me never to believe anything that comes out of your mouth.” She said as she brushed her teeth and Kai couldn’t hold back the laughter that raked his throat.Moments like this one reminds him that all of his fighting for the peace and balance of the world was never in vain. He couldn’t wait for the moment the fight would finally end.The moment he would wake up with Catherine in his arms, and he wouldn’t have to worry about the people or entities coming after them, the moment they could joke like this and lay down their guards.But until that moment, he was going to make sure that he seized every moment he had to make her smile, to make the both of them happy.“Ouch,” Kai said, joining her in the bathroom and wrapping his arms around her, “I don’t lie every time, and not believing every word that comes out of my mout
