Chapter 50: 50
Rei
I smile when the bookings are officially closed and there will be a team coming to pick apart the malls and amusement parks. In a few months this Island will be empty.
Kai surprises me with wrapping his hand around my waist and kissing my neck, I bite my lip, he sure knows where the sweet spot is.
"What's going through that head of yours, you have that seductive smile on your face." He licks my neck all the way up to the jaw line. He moans grabbing my waist tighter and pressing his body against mine.
"I'm just satisfied with the plans I have for this place." I say.
He stops and I can feel him staring at me, "You know you're about to leave a lot of people unemployed."
I turn around and look him in the eyes, "Not really, they just will have to earn that overpaid salary from now on. Kendo really needs to get his head out of the gutter, Yuki is no honestly good woman." I shake my head in sympathies for the guy.
"He's a grown ass man, let him make his own big boy mistakes. What's a man gotta do when he wants a fine dime like that?" Kai says unbuttoning my shirt.
"Are we talking about her or me?" I ask teasing with an angry face.
Kai just nods along, he has only one thing on his mind right now, I sigh giving in.

Kai
I look at Rei as she wakes up in my arms, I honestly did not expect that to happen, I was prepared for another blunt rejection.
She smiles and hides her face when I look at her, that makes my heart burn with a light foreign feeling, it's like heat in your chest but it's so enjoyable, at the same time short lived.
"I think I love you." I say without thinking and I'm the one looking away now when she looks at me.
She sits up and I notice a frown on her face, "I am so unfair towards you Kai. You should not have to be a rebound, you're an honestly good man, I can't disguise just how wrong this was, the reason behind it was purely selfish."
I kiss her and smile, "I've been patiently waiting for this day to come for so long, you're worth waiting for Rei, I want to be with you." I look her in the eyes and I just feel a peace of mind I have never felt before, "I want to be with you, I want you at my side."
Rei looks down, "Toya already told his family he and I are getting married, it would look really sketchy if suddenly I am with you, I don't think at the moment I can handle that." She looks away.
I nod, "Okay, then we move away from Toya's family, we raise our children where they will be safe and where they will not have to deal with all our personal drama." I want this to work, losing you was the biggest mistake I ever made.
I felt all emotions all at once when I saw you with Toya, I want you Rei. I will do what I have to for you fox.
"I do want to get away, I want to just leave until the boys are like 10 years old or something. Maybe older." She says resting her head on my chest.
"What about me and you?" I ask.
"Toya made it clear he and I will never happen, I don't want to give him the satisfaction of gloating that I am with you because he allowed it, he can take things too far, you do understand what I am talking about right?" She asks looking at me so worriedly, there are tears welling up in her eyes.
"Rei, I don't care what he says, I want this to continue, I want to be the one that marries you, I won't even mention Kaiya, this is for me, Rei Riden, it's perfect, I've obsessively thought about all the ways I could propose to you."
She looks at me and the tears just fall down her face. I comfort her as she cries, I have no idea why she is so upset.
"Did I say something wrong?" I ask hoping to calm the situation while I still can.
"No, I did." She breaks down, "I knew how hard you were trying to be with me, but I stubbornly chased after Toya, he only used me to have a pretty girl on his arm, to look like a good boy for his family, but he never had any intention of making all his promises come true.
"A life where we raise our children in a school we made ourselves, the best birthday parties with a lot of friends. Taking them on camps for independence, and his plans for me, gosh," She sniffles shaking her head, "He promised me the stars and the moon, and I hung on every word." She cries and I pass on the box of tissues.
She cries some more and I peck the side of her forehead.
"I can't make any promises, I just want to try." I admit to her and myself, I don't have much to offer and I do not have much to give, I have never had the best luck with love, I have no idea where to begin in making Rei's life happy and amazing.
"I don't want promises, I honestly don't even want to hear it, I want actions to do the talking, I can't even begin to describe how much shame I feel on the inside for being so gullible, I can barely stomach it." She covers her face still crying hard.
"It's called heartbreak Rei. I'm right here for you, no matter what, alright?"
She blows her nose and nods, "I feel even more ashamed when you say that, you have always been there, I turned a blind eye."
I chuckle, "Alright, enough with that guilt machine Rei, that's enough now. Let's talk about something that will cheer you up, let's talk about Kaiya."
Rei nod her head calming down, she just woke up I do not want her going to sleep already, I want to talk a little first.
"I want her to have her own room, with it's own bathroom and a really big wardrobe, she loved designing outfits and going shopping." Rei says smiling again.
"Think she will be the same?" I ask doubting it a little.
"She'll be less angry and pessimistic that I can garauntee, the rest I will gladly be prepared for. I want this island to be designed for her personal amusement. The family comes here for one on one dates together, no work, no cellphones, no internet, just us and each other.
"A detox from the world and everything. I want us to just have each other to keep each other company. I want sit down by a bonfire and listen to all the stories she has to share with me, talk about her friends, school and smile when she lists all her teachers as her favourite teachers.
"I want her to have a sister, more than anything I want her to not be alone. After her I'm thinking of trying for a little sister, it can at least be the triplets then they will be closer in age." She looks up at me and I smile.
"That would really make our daughter happy wouldn't it?" I say just imagining her with another sister, Rei and I having our own child together, a little girl, "I want that, I want a family with you."
She frowns, "You know that also comes with a family with him."
I tilt her chin towards me, "Rei, you're angry now I know that, but I don't care, all that matters is you with me."
"You know he's a mean bastard, he knows all the buttons to push."
I smile, "I had a feeling that might be the case and I planned for you and I to be alone here. I have a lot of plans, you just have to choose this. Choose us, but I won't rush you, I know I am the one you will choose." I kiss her forehead, she's about to go back to sleep.
