Kai,

     "It's Saturday night, bro... are we going to a frat party tonight?" Jordan asks as he stands in the doorway of the dorm room.

     Kai: Do you want to go to a party with me tonight? I'll stick by your side if you want to go, or we can find something else to do.

     Stella: I haven't been to a party since that night, so I want to say no, but I'll go.

     Kai: Have I told you how strong of a woman you are lately, baby?

    Stella: No, you haven't told me that today. When do I need to get ready?

    Kai: Let's say around five tonight.

    Stella: Okay, I'll be ready and waiting by the door.

   Kai: I won't be late. So, what are you doing for the rest of the day?

   Stella: I'm at work right now. Then Dakoda and I are going shopping for prom. It's in a couple of weeks. By the way, you haven't forgotten about that, have you?

    Kai: No, ma'am. I have my tux hung up in the closet right now.

     Stella: "Liar!"

     Kai: You don't know, woman.

     Stella: LOL. My lunch break is over.

     Kai: Later, babe.

     I ask Jordan where the party is.

     Jordan: It's two houses down.

     Me: Alright, we'll be there.

    Jordan: We?

    Me: Yes, Stella and I.

    Jordan: Cool.

    I take this time to text my brother and ask if he's available to go with me to get a tux for the prom, since I forgot about it.

    Kai: Hey, little brother, are you busy?

   Gage: No, why?

   Kai: Apparently, I need a tux for the prom that's coming up. I forgot about it until Stella reminded me. And since I told her I already had one, I can't ask her to go with me.

    Gage: Yeah, bro, I'll go with you.

    Kai: Cool. Meet you in five.

    I put on my shoes and leave the house to meet my brother at his friend's place. When I arrive, I find all three guys in the living room having a conversation. I ask, "Hey, what's up guys?"

    "We were just talking about the prom. We still haven't gotten our tuxes, and Dakoda is going to be mad," Korey informs me.

    "Well, let's all go get our tuxes today, and the girls won't even know," I suggest.

    "Have you met our girl?" Gage asks.

   "Okay, fair point. But Stella just told me that the girls are going dress shopping, so they won't notice if we go tux shopping. After that, Stella and I are going to a party. Do you guys want to join?" I propose.

   "Okay, let's do it. Wait, you convinced Stella to go to a party?" Kasey questions.

   "I didn't have to do much convincing. She agreed as long as I stay with her. So you guys might have to help her with some nerves," I explain.

   "Did she ever tell you what happened to her?" Gage asks once we're in the truck. I consider telling them, but I don't want to betray Stella's trust. "I can't share that, man. If she wants you guys to know, she'll have to tell you herself. I won't break her trust in me."

    "Whoa, Kai, you really like her, don't you?" Kasey remarks.

    "I'm going to marry her one day," I state confidently.

    "That's what's up, brother," Gage says with a big grin on his face. We head uptown to the shops in our little part of Hawaii and stop at Ms. Elizabeth's tuxedos and gown shop. Inside, we tell the lady at the front desk what we're looking for and she directs us to the racks of tuxedos. "There will be a young man here to help you with sizing in just a minute," she says.

   "I hope it's not Ms. Elizabeth," Kasey says.   "She doesn't seem very friendly."

   "Yeah, I agree," I respond.

    A few minutes later, the young man the lady mentioned comes singing along. "Hello, young man," he greets us. "I hear you and your boys are looking for some tuxedos. Are they for a wedding or a prom?"

    "No wedding this time," I tell him. "We're getting ready for the prom in less than a month."

    "Well, proms are just as fun," he says. "Do you know what the lovely ladies are planning on wearing?"

     "Stella is going in a purple dress," I inform him. The guys chime in and say that Dakoda is going with a green dress.

     Jasper raises an eyebrow. "All three of you boys are going with the same girl to the prom?"

    "Yes, we are," we reply, and Jasper finds it amusing. I kind of like this guy. Two hours later, we leave the shop with our tuxedos and sore stomachs from laughing so hard at  Jasper. "Are you guys hungry? My treat," I offer.

    "Yeah, we could eat," they all say.

    "How about a diner?" I suggest.

    "You know it," Korey says.

     Now that we know where we are going to eat, we head towards the diner. Let's face it, we knew from the start it would be the diner because the girls were at work.

    "Hey, beautiful," I say to Stella as we walk through the door of the diner.

    "Well, hello to yourself, handsome. Just couldn't stay away until 5, could you?" she teases me.

    "No, ma'am, I couldn't," I tell her, then lean in to give her a kiss. She sways a little when we pull away and gives me the biggest smile.

    "Fuck, girl," I say.

    "Kai," she says, swatting me on the arm.

    "What, baby?"

    "Go sit down," she tells me, pointing her little finger in the direction my brother and his friends went.

   "Yes, ma'am," I say, dropping my head in a pout and walking over to where the guys are.

   "What's the look for?" Dakoda asks me once   I make it to the table where the guys are sitting.

    "Stella made me come sit down, I told her, and she laughed at me."

    "You poor guy," Dakoda sympathizes. "Okay boys, what would you like to drink? I have to get back to work."

    "I'll have a Dr. Pepper with your sister on top," I jokingly reply to Dakoda. She shakes her head and walks back to the counter.

Later in the afternoon, I head over to pick up Stella for the party. When she opens the door, she takes my breath away. "Wow, baby, I'm not sure I can let you out of the house looking like that," I compliment her.

    "What?" Stella asks, looking down at her sunflower sundress that reaches her knees. She's wearing a pair of sandals and the ankle bracelet I got her a few months ago. She smells heavenly.

    "Nothing, baby, you just look beautiful," I assure her.

    "Are you sure it's not too much for the party we're going to? I didn't want to wear jeans or shorts tonight, so I picked this out at the shop we went to earlier to get our dresses. Oh, did you know that Dakoda and the guys are coming with us? Well, of course, you're the one who invited them," Stella informs me.

    I lean in and kiss her. "Don't be nervous, baby," I reassure her when we pull away.

   "Sorry," she says.

   "Don't worry. Are you ready to leave before I change my mind and we find something else to do here?" I ask her.

    "Yes," she whispers.

     This girl doesn't realize how beautiful she is. She also doesn't know how much I desire her. If she did, she would probably run in the opposite direction. We arrive at the party house and meet up with Gage and the others.

    I hear Dakoda whisper to Stella, "Hey, are you okay with this?"

   "Yes... D... or I wouldn't be here," Stella tells her. Then she walks up to me and holds my hand. "Don't leave my side, okay?" she whispers to me.

    "Never, sweetheart," I whisper back, and we enter the party.

    "Would you like to dance?" I ask Stella. She tenses for a moment, but then she leads me to the dance floor.

    "Is this your way of saying 'fuck them, I can do what I want'?" I whisper in her ear, and she giggles. "Yes, maybe so," she whispers back. We dance for a few songs, and then we go to get a drink. While we're standing around talking to Gage and the others, some asshole comes up behind Stella and puts his hand up her dress before either of us can react. It takes me only a split second to realize what just happened, and I punch that motherfucker across the room before he even knows what hit him.

    "Look at me, Stella. Are you okay, baby?" I ask her, but she is too overwhelmed with fear. She is shaking and hugging herself, so I pick her up and tell her sister that I'm taking her home. Once I get Stella home, I take her straight to her bedroom and lay her down on her bed.

"Hey baby, I'm going to run and get you some water," I tell Stella, but she grabs my arm before I can move off the bed.

"Just lay here with me." She tells me. So, I climb right back in the bed behind her and wrap my arms around her, pulling her into my body and I just hold her.

It's breaking my heart watching her like this, but I don't know what to do besides hold her like she asks me.

After several minutes, Stella turns around to face me. "Will you touch me, she whispers?"

"Baby, I am touching you."

"No.... touch me," she says, then takes my hand and glides it down to her thighs. "I've never been touched down there by someone that I've wanted to touch me. It's always been unwanted hands, but I want you to touch me. I have for a long time, Kai, so will you touch me?"

"Yes, I can do that for you," I tell her. Then I reach my hand down into her pants and find her clit. Once I find my mark, I massage it with my finger. Stella lets out a small moan, and that makes me smile, so I keep the rhythm of my hand up. I grab Stella by the neck with my free hand and pull her mouth closer to mine. I kiss her slowly at first, matching the rhythm of my finger, then I deepen the kiss.

"Can I put a finger inside you, Stella?"

"Yes, she moans."

"Fuck...."

I insert one finger inside her and she moans a little louder. "Stella, are you a virgin, not counting what happened to you?"

"Yes, I've never really had a guy kiss me like you do before. I was always the shy one I tagged along with my sister to do things because she wanted me to, but I never thought about guys until now."

"I'm one lucky bastard," I tell her. She gives me her beautiful shy smile that she only reserves for me. "I'm going to go faster... okay Stella? If it gets too much for you, then you tell me to stop, okay?"

"Okay she says and puts her hands on my shoulders. "

"Oh... Kai." she whispers after a few minutes.

"Does it feel good, baby?"

"Yes...."

"I'm going to lay you on your back and lean over you. It's going to get a little more intense, okay?"

Her eyes go a little wide at that. "Hey... baby, I promise it won't hurt, okay? Do you trust me?"

"Yes," she says, shaking her head.

I roll her over onto her back, then lean down and start kissing her again. I go to rub her clit again when someone pulls on my shoulders. "What in the hell do you think you are doing, Kai?

My first thought is fuck... her parents are home, but then I realize the voice. I think we've been caught, babe, "I whisper to Stella, and her face goes so red."

She clears her throat.... After clearing her throat, she asks Dakoda to give her and me a few minutes.

"Oh.... Okay, Dakoda says, then walks out of the room and shuts the door."

"I think we better finish this some other time." Stella says.

"How close where you?" I ask her.

"I think pretty close, but I can't when I know my sister is within earshot of my room."

"Okay baby... rain check. Let's go get you cleaned up and head downstairs." I tell her, then lean in and kiss her one more time.

🙈🙉🙊

It's Sunday, so I decided to bring Stella some of her favorites from Dunkin Donuts. "What's the occasion?" Dakoda asks when she opens the door for me.

"It's Stella's favorites."

"Mm, so you want to tell me what that was that I walked in on last night?" Dakoda deadpans.

"No, ma'am, that's a conversation you need to have with your sister," I tell her. "And I already told her I am not talking about our personal business with her. Stella says, coming up behind Dakoda."

"Mm, are those for me Stella asks, coming up to stand beside me."

"Maybe if I get a kiss, they could be yours."

"You.... are a perv Kai Kahale." Stella says as she is leaning in to give me a kiss, then snatches the bag from me.

I snag her by the waist. "Not so fast, little girl, share with Dakoda." I told her.

"Why?"

"Rude much," Dakoda says in a mock hurt voice. "That's okay. My guys are on their way and they will have something for me when they get here." She tells Stella, then sticks her tongue out at her.

"Their penises don't count." Stella says, shocking us all, including herself, if the red face is any sign.

"Naughty girl," I whisper into Stella's ear.

"What did you do to my innocent sister last night?" Dakoda says with her hand over her mouth and eyes wide in mock shock?

"Whatever..." Stella says then sits on a bar stool, pulling out her bagel bites and donut, then handing the bag over to Dakoda.

"Thank you, Kai, for the breakfast, " Dakoda says.

"Welcome."

"Did you eat already?" Stella asks.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Lier."

"What would you like to do today, I ask her?" Changing the subject.

"Let's see... would you like to go to the beach and swim? Then maybe grab a bite to eat then come back here, Stella suggested?"

"That sounds like a brilliant plan." I told her. After she finishes eating, she runs upstairs to prepare for the beach.

"Okay, Kai Kahale... spill it. What have you done with my sister?"

"She did this all on her own. I was just there for a patient ear for when she was ready."

"Thank you," Dakoda says, then gives me a big ass hug.

"You're very welcome D. I.... fucking love that girl," I confess to Stella's sister.

Dakoda leans back. "Does she know how you feel?"

"I haven't expressed that yet. I don't want to run her off."

"After what I saw last night, that girl isn't going anywhere, Kai." Dakoda tells me. I hope she's right.

"Okay, I am all ready." Stella says, bouncing down the stairs. "Let's hit the road then, my lady."

"I need to stop off by my dorm to get a change of clothes." I let Stella know when we get into my jeep. Well, it's more like an apartment, not a dorm. A high school friend and I rented an apartment a block from the college. We get to the apartment and head up the stairs to my unit and when we step inside... my Fucking idiot roommate is fucking some girl in our living room. "Shit... Stella, right through here is my bedroom." I tell her, rushing her to my room. By the time we make it to my room, her face is red from her blush, but she is laughing when we get into my room and get the door closed.

"What's so funny I ask her?" She just shakes her head at me.

"Oh, no ma'am, now you got to tell me."

She clears her throat, then looks down at the floor and whispers under her breath, just loud enough for me to catch what she just said. "It turned me on."

"Oh, did it now? Would you like for me to fix that problem before we leave?" I ask her. "Yes, she whispers."

"What... really, I ask her. If you are serious, I will help you out, baby."

"What about you?" She asks. "I don't know if I can do anything just yet to repay you."

"Baby, you... being happy is enough for me for now." I tell her, then lead her over to the bed and sit her on the edge. I lay her down flat on the bed, then have her lift her hips so I can pull her shorts and swimmer bottoms down her body. "Spread your legs for me, Stella." She does as I ask, and I kiss her at her belly button and working my way down to her inner thigh. Once I make it to her slit, I take my fingers and part them a little, then I take my tongue and start licking her vulva and finding her clitoris. When I do, I know it because Stella jumps off the bed an inch.

"Oh... Kai, she whimpers."

I keep going until I feel Stella tense up and ride her climax out on my face.

    Stella, I had an absolutely amazing day with Kai today. The memory of how our day began still makes me feel a rush of excitement. It was a bit overwhelming when we unexpectedly stumbled upon his roommate and another girl being intimate. Kai is incredibly tender and considerate towards me. Yesterday, he touched me with such care, and when we arrived at the beach, his attention was solely focused on me. Despite other girls catching his eyes, he never once looked away. I can honestly say that I've never had as much fun as I did yesterday. Our time at the beach was incredible. We frolicked in the water and played for hours. Towards the end of the day, Kai showered me with kisses. He even took me further into the water, away from prying eyes, and pleased me until I reached climax once again. It was a revelation for me, as I had no prior knowledge of such experiences and how pleasurable they could be. To experience two orgasms in one day was truly mind-blowing. It's making

Mac, can you cover for me for a moment? I need to step outside and call my parents to make sure everything is alright." I follow Dakoda outside and wait as she dials her parents' number. When they answer, Dakoda's face turns pale. "Why didn't you call me?" Dakoda shouts. "What's wrong, Dakoda?" I ask, concerned. She looks at me with wide eyes. "Stella has disappeared." "What do you mean, she's disappeared?" Dakoda hangs up the phone and starts crying. "Why does this keep happening to her?" "Let's go," I say to her. "What?" "Get in the car, Dakoda.

    Stella, It's been a few weeks since I returned home, but everything still feels strange. Kai's behavior is particularly bothersome. He treats me delicately, as if I'm fragile. I want to shout at him to stop, but I understand where he and my family are coming from. We've all been through a lot in the past year, and this situation just adds to it. I long for Kai's touch, but whenever he places a hand on my back, I become tense and thoughts of Professor Hamilton's touch flood my mind. Tomorrow is Monday, marking my first day back at school. I'm anxious about it because everyone will be aware of my kidnapping. I fear it will be similar to my experience in Washington, where people made jokes and made life unbearable for me and my family. Just then, my sister climbs up the stairs and enters my room. "Hey sis, are you alright? You seemed distracted at the dinner table tonight." "Did I?" Dakoda raises an eyebrow at me, her expression filled with disbelief. "Don

    Kai, Wow, she is incredibly beautiful. I can't believe we almost lost her. I will never let this girl out of my sight again. As I enter her, I can feel her body accommodating me and it's overwhelming. It's been weeks since we were last intimate. "Are you okay, baby?" I ask as I fully immerse myself in her. I have no intention of stopping now. "Kai..." Stella whispers, and I surrender myself to her. After we clean up, we lie back in bed and I can't help but seek answers as to why she thought suicide was the solution to her problems. "Stell?" "Kai." "Will you talk to me, baby? I need to understand what was going through your mind and if there's anything we can do to prevent you from feeling that way again. Please don't shut me out this time, Stella." Stella puts a finger to her lips, signaling for silence, then sits up and gazes down at me. "Kai, the best way to describe what I was feeling is like drowning in my own thoughts and emotions.

Realizing that my dad and Kai are in cahoots, I storm off to my room and begin packing my clothes, reluctantly accepting my fate like a compliant girl. As I reach my room, I recall leaving my phone on the bed before taking a shower. I go to retrieve it, but suddenly, I freeze in place. My hands tremble so violently that I can barely hold onto my phone. Sliding down onto the floor, I call out for my dad, feeling utterly lost and unsure of what to do next. To my surprise, my dad and Kai rushed into my room within seconds. Dad inquires about what's wrong and then hands my phone to Kai. He then pulls me onto his lap, reminiscent of when I was a child.

She hasn’t told me where she’s going to college yet, but the sky’s the limit with a full ride. That makes me so proud of her and wherever she goes to college, I will still be there with her. We will figure our relationship. “Kai bro, you ready?” Gage asks, coming into my apartment. Luckily, the apartment is on the first floor, so it helps to get in and out with the cane. I’ve done pretty good with the cane that the therapist says I will probably walk without it in a month are two. “Yea, let’s hit the road. Stella doesn’t know I’m coming, right?” “No, she still thinks you’re mad at her and never want to see her again. Gage snaps.” “Where are you going?” Gage asks. “My truck,” I tell him. “No, you’re not. You can’t drive, Gage says.” “The fuck I can’t. I say and move on to my truck and get in.”

    Kai, “Hey, Kai Stella has called for the third time today. Would you like to call her back or should I keep telling her you’re still sleeping?” Gage asks me, and I know he’s getting aggravated at me, but I really don’t give a shit at this point.

She never asked for her psycho teacher to have an effectuation with her. Then kidnap her not once but twice. She also didn’t ask me to run away from the guy trying to get to her and get shot in the back. No, she never asked for any of this, but I still in the back of my head blame her some, so I want to have a clear head when I see her again. “Just tell her I’m still asleep with Gage.” “Damn it, Kai, how long are you going to avoid her?” “Until I’m out of this fuckin’ bed.

    Stella, “Holy shit, she kicked ass with that speech Gage says.” “So, which one of you said you were going to be a surfer in the six grade I ask?” “That’d been me.... Korey says raising his hand, and we all laugh.” “Did you guys know we were going to get scholarships?” I ask the guys and Dakoda.... we haven’t been at the school for long and I have missed so much. I’m even surprised I graduated with you guy this year. “So, how did you guys pull it off I ask, looking at Korey, the ringleader of all things that gets done around here?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Stella. Contrary to what you believe, I don’t have that kind of pull.” I just give him the stink eye, then walk over to where Kai and my parents are waiting. “So, care bear, have you told Kai what college you are going to yet, or are you going to make the poor guy sweat it out a little while longer? Dad whispers in my ear when I give him a hug, and I just smile up at him.”
