She'd rather see me dead than face me.
Chapter 36~There's Faith in Love.
~Tony’s POV~
~ one month later~
It’s been one month and everything is great. My feelings for Kari have been getting stronger and stronger. We are more open with our relationship now that we don’t have to keep it secret. Kari and I walked inside the house. We had just come back from printing out some of her pictures.
“I’m tired I’m going to take a nap.” Kari said. I kissed her cheek and she walked upstairs. I sat on the couch and watched some T.V. Jesus walked down the stairs.
“Hey I’m going to Javier’s house to watch the soccer game. Are you and Kari coming?”
“Nah I think I’m going to stay here with Kari.”
“Ok. I’ll be back later Tone.” he said as he got his keys from the counter and walked out the door. About 20 minutes later, I heard a scream coming from upstairs. I ran up the stairs taking two steps at a time until I got to Kari’s room. I opened the door and saw her sitting on her bed crying and shaking. I ran over to her and embraced her in my arms. I stroked her hair as she cried into my chest. After a while she stopped crying but was still shaking a bit.
“What’s wrong?” I finally asked her without letting her go.
“I had a nightmare about Axel. What if he gets me again?” I became furious at his name.
“No I won’t let that happen. No one is ever going to hurt you. They would have to kill me before I let them get to you. I love you Kari and I will always protect you. ” she nodded as a sign that she heard me. She pulled away and brought her knees up to her chest as she stared at the bed.
“Do you really love me?” she asked. I put my hand under her chin and made her look into my eyes.
“With all my heart.”
“Have you said that to all your girlfriends?” she said with a sad face.
“I’ve said it before, but I’ve never meant it until now.”
“How come?” I sighed.
“Because in the past, I had girlfriends that I thought I had feelings for. But they all just ended up using me or cheating on me. This time, I see what it really means to be in love.”
“I love you Tony.” She said looking up at me. She leaned in and kissed me. She grabbed my neck and pulled me closer to her. We laid on her bed as I hovered her still not breaking the kiss. I felt her tug on the hem of my shirt. She pulled it off and continued to kiss me. Pretty soon, it was me that was taking off her shirt. I trailed kisses on her neck and jawline. I felt her unbutton my pants and I looked up at her face.
“You sure you want to do this?” I asked her. She bit her lip and slowly nodded.
“Be careful though. It’s my first time.”
“I will. It’s mine too.” Things began to get more intense, and well, you know what happened from there.
~Kari’s POV~
I woke up in Tony’s arms remembering what had happened last night. I turned in his embrace and hugged him. He smiled as his eyes fluttered open. He kissed my forehead and tightened his grip on me.
“Good morning.” He said in a somewhat sleepy voice.
“Good morning.” I replied. I looked over at the clock. I quickly got up as I noticed it was already 5:30 and Tony needed to go to work today.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s 5:30 and you need to go to work!” I whisper screamed. He shot up just as fast as I did and quickly put on his clothes while I put on mine. He was about to reach for the door handle but I stopped him. “Wait!” I said just in time.
“What?”
“I need to check where my dad is. He can’t see you come out of my room or he’ll kill us both.”
“Right.” I made my way towards the door and looked around outside. I saw that my dad was in the bathroom so I quickly shooed Tony out of my room. He went into his room and got himself ready as I ran down the stairs and started to hurriedly pull things out of the fridge to make breakfast and lunch for my dad and him. I tried to play it off cool when they both came downstairs. I saw Tony trying to hide a smile the same way I was as he ate his breakfast. When they were done, I washed the dishes as they got some last minute things prepared. I said bye to my dad as he headed out the door and I kissed Tony before he followed my dad outside. When they were gone, I was left alone smiling in the middle of the house like an idiot. Wow, I really do love that boy.
