Chapter 3: Secret let loose

It was 11pm and I laid my head on Karin’s bed trying to sleep. When I heard her talking I sat up immediately as I thought she wanted to request for a drink. Then I heard the 4 words that made the strange feeling burn in my chest like it was on fire. They were: “I love you, Rick.” I didn’t know how to react to this, especially when those came out of Karin’s mouth. I heard the phone ringing outside in the hallway so I gently slipped my hand out of Karin’s hand, making sure I didn’t wake her up.

“Hello?”

“Hey Rick. This is Olette.”

“Oh, what’s up?”

“Did you find Karin?”

“Yes, why?”

“Oh that’s a relief. Your voice sounded urgent when you were looking for her in the cooking room, is she okay?”

“Yeah, she is now.”

“Glad to hear that.”

“Can I ask you something? Did Karin say anything about me before?”

“Well there IS something, Karin has a huge crush on you and she really loves you with all her heart.”

“I see.”

“Do you love her too?”

“Olette, I seriously have no idea. I need to think. Give me some time okay?”

“Fine. But you really must treat her well, whether you love her or not. Mark my words, ‘kay?”

“I will. I always will, now and probably in the future as well. By the way, don’t tell her you said anything to me okay? And by the way, did Karin mention anything negative about me? Like bad habits, flaws?”

“Rick, Rick, did you know that Karin loves you to the point that always put you first and doesn’t even want you to worry about what she hates? But I can tell you ONE thing… she just doesn’t like having Jennifer around you, jealousy is a powerful thing. Keep that in mind.”

“Thanks. Olette you really are seriously her trusted friend. But I have something to declare.”

“What’s that?”

“I have nothing to do with Jennifer, she just sticks to me once her eyes detect me and I can’t do anything ‘cause I suspect she has some radar in her tiny head. She ALWAYS finds me. Can you PLEASE keep her away from me?”

“THAT, my friend, would easy. Leave it to me. I have to go now, take care of Karin. Goodnight.”

“Thanks a lot. Bye.”

After hanging up, I went to Karin’s room again and returned to my original position. I wanted to ponder about what happened today but the lack of sleep killed me and I drifted into a deep sleep.

Chapter 2: Stalker

It was dark, but the only thing I could see… was Karin with red swollen eyes, and a face filled with tears. Her clothes were torn and tattered.

NO! ARGH! GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!

Suddenly, I found myself on my bed, sweating profusely. OH GOD, ITS WAS A DREAM, A NIGHTMARE. I stayed at my position, thinking if I were to really experience seeing that face in real life. She could break down anytime, every time, until the time she… NO. I MUST NOT LET HER GO THROUGH THAT. I clenched my fist involuntarily and punched my pillow.

Just then, something inside me clicked. Why did I feel so angry when I saw that dream? Its just a bloody dream right? I looked at the clock beside me and hell it was so early. My new record- I finally woke up at 5.30am. Sadly, school only starts at 7. Eventually I shut my thoughts and feelings with that assurance that Karin was important in my life and that I could not let her suffer after what she had done for me.

I decided to make breakfast since I had nothing better to do and when I got out of my room, Karin was already on her way to her sanctuary, the kitchen. I ran to catch up with her and said, “Hey, you should get some extra sleep, I’m going to make breakfast today.”

“But, you don’t know where I usually keep the food.”

“Hey, it’s okay Karin. I’ll have to figure it out sooner or later right? Anyway, I want to put my cooking skills to good use.”

“But… ” I put my finger on her lips silencing and said, “No buts Miss Karin, you get some sleep.”

It was a good thing I learnt how to be persuasive and how to nag from her. It came in quite handy. Eventually, she gave in and went back into her room. I took a quick shower and slipped into a black long sleeve and a pair of black jeans before I went down to the kitchen. While going down, I wondered what I should cook for breakfast. Maybe something simple. It’s breakfast anyway. So omelets it shall be. I searched for the eggs and took out butter, cheese, ham and some spices to go along with the dish. After about 15 minutes, I completed my omelets and placed them on the table.

Just then I saw Karin coming down in a shirt with the words “I LOVE YOU” and a pair of jeans.

“Good morning Karin, what’s with the shirt? Got a boyfriend at last?”

Almost immediately she replied, “No! I just felt like wearing it.”

There goes her blush. Never seems to bore me. How cute.

“Okay, no need for that big reaction. Sit down, I’m done with breakfast. Today is omelets.”

“Oh, your specialty.”

“Yup.”

I took out the utensils and some milk out of the fridge. Karin turned on the radio and we sat quietly to eat.

“Wow you make good omelets.” And showed me her trademark smile.

Her smile never ceases to please me. But today’s smile had a bigger impact on me. Wonder what that meant.

“Thanks.” I said smiling at her, seeing her blush was something I would miss if we were separated.

When we finished our meal, I was about to wash the dishes when she snatched the plates and said, “Let me do the dishes.”

“Hey its okay. You get to be princess for today.”

“No its not okay, let me help at least.” DAMN. She turned on persuasive mode.

I had no choice but to listen so I passed her the cups to wash. When we were done, Karin got our lunches and I carried the bags.

Then I remembered she had to go for her cooking club activities so I asked, “You have cooking class today right?”

“Yes, why the random question?”

“Because your private escort will be waiting.” I smiled my best smile, hoping she would accept my invitation.

“Oh, but you don’t have to wait for me. I can make it back myself.”

When she completed her sentence I immediately had a flashback of that dream. I must protect her at all costs.

“NO! I’m waiting!” When I looked at her again, her face seemed shocked by the amount of force in my voice.

“Are you feeling alright?”

“Yeah, just a bad dream.”

She didn’t question further so we went to school together as usual.

When we reached the school we separated saying a single, “Bye.” She went to hang out with her best friend Olette. I didn’t know her that well but I could trust her since Karin does, and so I went to class. The moment I reached my desk, I lied on it. I couldn’t imagine myself more tired than today. I kept thinking about Karin’s safety, and every time I thought about it, I felt that feeling in my chest again. It was a tangy kind of feeling.

While I was in my own world, I heard Jennifer talking to Jayson.

“Hi Jayson have you seen Rick?”

“Yeah he’s over there.”

I heard her walking towards me.

“Hi Rick! Why are you so sleepy today? I thought you were the kind who was always full of energy?”

“I woke up too early.”

“Oh, better not disturb you then. Tata!”

I felt her lips on my cheeks again, and I was hoping Karin didn’t see this. Jayson must be must be thinking on the crooked path again. Soon lessons started and flew by quite fast and soon enough it was break time, the time I usually liked ‘cause I would finally be able to see what Karin made. Definitely, whatever she prepared always tasted good.

I walked over to Karin and asked if she wanted to go to the roof with me to eat. Her face went a little red before accepting my invitation. Just then, I heard Jayson’s voice, “There goes the future Mr. and Mrs. Adams.” I saw Karin blush a little, but I ignored him. Whatever he said came from the trash can. When we reached the roof I found a bench and we sat on it.

“Hmm, what did you cook today?” I opened my lunchbox and found a roasted drumstick.

“Wow. You never cooked this before.”

“I couldn’t think of anything else. What do you think of it?”

I took my first bite of the drumstick and almost immediately I could taste the honey taste. I could tell it was honey roasted, I felt like I was in cloud nine.

“OH GOD. Karin this tastes excellent, it’s simple yet tasty. When you grow up I’m sure you can be a chef. But promise me that I’ll be your food sampler.” She was blushing like crazy the moment she heard my compliments.

“Of course. Thanks for the compliments.”

The bell rang when we were done with lunch and we made our way to our respective classes.

Soon enough, school was over and I took Karin to the cooking room. We met Olette standing there, already waiting for her.”

“Hi Olette, take care of Karin for me. I want her back like she is now.”

“Sure, don’t worry. I wouldn’t dare to touch her without permission.”

“Bye Karin, see you later.”

“Bye Rick. I’ll meet you at the gate later ‘kay?”

“’Kay.”

When I was walking away, I heard Olette commenting, “Aren’t you lucky? He really cares for you. Are you guys in a relationship?”

I could hear Karin’s immediate reply. ”No, he is just like my brother.”

She should be blushing right about now. She is so predictable.

I decided to go to the roof to wait until Karin’s club activities were done. Since it her activities would only be done at 8pm, I thought of taking a nap on one of the benches.

I woke up on the bench at 7.45pm. I still had 15 minutes so I made a quick trip to the washroom. When I reached the school gate it was just exactly 8pm. My timing is perfect, but waking up is a problem though. I waited for Karin but she didn’t come. I felt really worried so I ran to the cooking room. I only saw Olette there cleaning up, but there was no sign of Karin.

I asked in an urgent tone, “Where’s Karin?”

“Oh, she went out early saying she wanted to make you a special dinner.”

“Thanks.” I ran out the school gate and remembered the dream. IT CANT BE REAL. IT CANT BE HAPPENING.

I was passing by the playground when a heard Karin’s scream. I ran over and saw 3 guys from the other school in town. Then, I spotted Karin’s face looking very scared. I felt some anger flaring up in my body but, I also felt fear not for me but for Karin. I ran towards the first guy tackling him in the gut, then I shoved my elbow into the other guy’s side. The last guy tried to punch me but I ducked and kneed him in the face. They all laid on the floor groaning in pain and I shouted at them, “GET OUT OF HERE.”

Immediately, they fled in fear of me. I ran over to Karin kneeling next to her crying figure. I patted her back and said, “It’s alright now don’t worry I will protect you.”

“I was so scared.”

“It’s alright now don’t worry I am here.”

Then she hugged me. I felt my face burn up. I felt her body shivering against my body so I took off my shirt and wrapped it around her, hugging her closer so she won’t feel cold. Then it started to rain. I rushed her home. I got out of her room to let her change out of her wet clothes. When I went to change, my jeans were miraculously not wet except for a few droplets of rain. When she changed I went into her room and tucked her into bed. I sat beside her and held her hand. It was so cold that I had to clamp both of my hands on it to warm it up. I still felt her shivering a little so I stoked her hair and said, “It’s alright now. Just get some sleep.”

“But…”

“We’ll talk tomorrow okay? Just concentrate on sleeping.”

“Ok. But can you please stay here?”

“Sure. I will stay here.”

I sat there holding her hand, stroking her hair and humming a lullaby. I was so relieved that I could protect her today. I had this strange feeling again towards Karin seeing her sleeping figure and I stroked her cheek. I thought to myself she looked so cute and angel-like. I decided to spend the night watching her sleep.

Chapter 1: Life Story

“RING!!!! RING!!!!”

Darn clock I reached my hand out to off the darn thing. God I hated it. I reached out for the snooze button when I touched something soft. Quite sure it is that familiar pale hand which was on top of the snooze button. Then I heard that sweet angelic voice that belonged to that soft hand, “Good morning Rick, you better get up to eat breakfast or you will be late.” Karin was the girl whose voice belonged to. I knew her for almost all my life she was almost like my sister. Oh yea. Forgot to introduce myself. I am Rick Adams. Currently 15 and studying in Seattle High School. My parents died when I was young. Was too young to remember though. Well Karin’s Mum died on the same day that’s how we met. Ever since then she has been taking care of me, I feel quite bad about it since I have been staying here for free. Karin’s Dad is the one earning the money, usually on business trips he goes almost one every week. Now he was on one heck of a business trip, 4 months, he will be gone for 4 months! That’s a little extreme to me. Hell did I feel beat. I just came back from that stupid training camp just got back yesterday at midnight, I won’t want to know how I am going to survive in the army and don’t want to know. Nor do I want to go to the army. I tried dragging my legs to the toilet, and I didn’t really care if I looked like a zombie or not. I took a quick shower and I felt so much better. More like going to heaven, slipped into the first clothes I felt in the cupboard and got ready for school. All my clothes were fashionable, not that I want to brag but it was comfy putting on a white hoodie and a plain pair of jeans. It felt so much better wearing casual rather than putting on all those heavy uniform suits in training camp. Luckily I don’t have to go to that stinking place anymore.

The moment I was about to go down, I was greeted by an aroma of waffles. To be precise, a tinge of ice cream. Sure enough, those waffles greeted me. From far, I can sense the golden crisp of the waffle. I slowly turned my head to Karin and said, “Didn’t I tell you to stop making so much food? Soon I won’t be able to tell the difference of a maid and my almost sister-like friend. And wait, what time did you wake up?”

“Erm… the answer to your first question is yes and I don’t mind who you think I am and I woke up at 4 am.”

“This sucks. You know I don’t like you working like you are my slave and you know I feel bad because I have nothing to repay you! GOD DAMN IT! Why must you do this to me?!”

“Sorry… please just let me take care of you its really fun, I enjoy it, honest!” she gave me that smile that would sweep off my darn feet. At least I was used to it. The effect on me was nothing compared to the guys in my school. Before she even started to smile, they would drop dead like they contracted a disease that had immediate effect on guys only.

“Fine but please don’t overwork yourself OK? Promise me that.”

“Okay, fine. And oh, breakfast for today is waffles, pancakes and a little ice cream to go with them.”

“Guessed it.”

All I could do was smile at her. She was the best, but yet I didn’t want her doing this. It was too much for her, and even if she just wants to take care of me now, I still feel that I forced her to it. And the worse thing is, her father trusted me too much. Before he left, I tried to persuade him to stay. What I recalled was, “Are you sure leaving a young man and a lady at home is safe?” and the answer I dreaded to receive was, “I’m sure its safe and in fact, I don’t mind. Anyway, I am more than willing to let you have the rights to marry my precious girl.” And then as if I didn’t said anything, he gave me a stupid smile and left. So much for parental love. And I actually hoped this father would at least name a few conditions. And all he gave me was a smile. Good riddance.

I manage to finish the whole breakfast Karin made, and I always tried to, no matter how full I was just so she wouldn’t feel bad. And it’s a miracle I never grew fat. I really should ask what she used to cook. I went out of the house gate, while waiting for Karin to take out our lunches. When she came out, she gave me that beautiful smile again and said, “Here’s your lunch.”

“Where is yours?”

“Oh god. I am so sorry; I left it in the kitchen. Could you wait for a while more please?” Then she dashed off, it was like a routine, always putting me before herself.

After a few minutes, she came running back. “Sorry I made you wait.”

“Don’t worry I feel more sorry I relied on you”

“Don’t be OK? I like it when you are relying on me”

“Fine but remember what you promised me? Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Yes I know let’s get to school fast before school starts”

I quickly agreed and we started off to school. It was like our daily routine and whenever we reached school, I would always realize that she would blush. And when I looked at her more, her blush gets more obvious.

This playful voice was heard. And it was loud. “OH! Look at the couple of Seattle High!”

Apparently, that was Jayson Roman. He is my best friend even if he is a little irritating.

“SHE’S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!! SAY THAT AGAIN I SWEAR YOU WISHED YOU WERE DEAD! “

“Whoa dude relax I was just playing. Don’t have to take it so seriously.” Then he put his arm around my head playfully.

“So…Karin, what did you make for his lunch??”

“Well, it’s a secret for him to find out. So you can’t know.”

“That is so romantic! You really should be nicer to her. Or she might cook grubs for you next time. Watch out while you can.” And laughed out loud.

“He isn’t bad to me and I never bore a grudge for him.”

“Thanks Karin.” And I smiled at her.

Saying those two words made her blush.

“And as for you Jayson, you’re so screwed.”

And then I lunged for his head to give him a nudge but he already started running. So I just shouted,” YOU REMBER THIS JAYSON ROMAN! I’LL MAKE SURE YOU WISHED YOU WERE DEAD!” With that the both of us laughed and although we look like we are enemies, we don’t really mean what we do.

Today’s lessons were extremely boring but for some apparent reason, I didn’t fall asleep. But soon enough, all the lessons were over and as usual I would walk Karin back home. We were half way back when Karin suddenly exclaimed, “OH NO! THE INGREDIENTS FOR DINNER! I haven’t got them yet! Can we drop by the supermarket to buy some stuff? Please?”

“Sure.” Was the only thing I could say to her. How could I refuse her? I am like her body guard. Only I am paid with food and a cozy roof over my head. Besides, that’s the only way to make it up to her. We walked to the nearest supermarket. And I always wondered why all the food Karin made always tasted delicious even though 90% of what she cooks consists of vegetables. When we were at the supermarket, I met my schoolmate. Her name was Jennifer Raymond. The guys in my clique often said that she had a crush on me but I didn’t give a damn. We hardly ever spoke to each other. The moment Jennifer spotted me her expression lit up and squealed, “HI RICK! You doing some shopping?” And she hopped over to where Karin and I were.

“Not really. Karin’s the one doing the shopping.”

“Ooh ooh! Did you know you look so macho when you’re with her? You look like you’re protecting her, I’m so jealous.” She pouted, and with that Karin blushed.

“Hey I am not macho. And she’s like my little sister. I have to protect her, don’t I?”

“Well…if you say so! Well I have to go now, see you in school!” and danced over to give me a small peck on the cheek. I looked at Karin and she gave a shocked look. And I wouldn’t be surprised ‘cause I was too. I waited for her to leave completely before I asked Karin, “You alright?”

She gave me one of her trademark smiles before saying, “Yeah am alright. Don’t worry.”

Even though she said she was alright, I couldn’t help sensing that she was lying. After all, I lived with her since we were kids. To me she is an open book.

About half an hour of selective picking by Karin, she got all she needed to make dinner. And since she paid for the food, I offered to carry the food so that I wouldn’t hold it against myself.

While walking home, I remembered to thank her for the amazing mushroom burger she prepared for my lunch and said, “And oh, thanks for lunch. It was really good.”

“No biggie.” And she blushed again. Sometimes I wonder when she is going to stop blushing.

When we reach home, Karin whipped up a quick dinner from some steak from last night with some mushroom gravy and salad. After that I went to take a shower. It felt really good. When I got out of the bath I slipped into a pair of shorts and looked for Karin. I suddenly wanted to see her so I looked into her room but she wasn’t there. Just then I felt like going to the toilet and when I opened the door I saw Karin in the toilet with her shirt off. Almost immediately, I closed the door and said, “JESUS CHRIST! I’M SO SORRY KARIN! I’M SUCH A JERK! I SHOULD HAVE KNOCKED! I’M SO SORRY!” And my cheeks felt hot. And no doubt she was blushing as well.

“Hey Rick. Stop scolding yourself. It’s okay. Other than my back, you didn’t see anything else right? ”

“YES! Only your back. NOTHING ELSE!”

“THANK GOD…let me slip into my clothes.” And heaved a huge sigh of relief.

When she came out, I thought I saw a Greek goddess in a nightgown. She looked absolutely stunning and out of curiosity I asked, “What’s the occasion?”

“Nothing, just felt like wearing this. What do you think?”

“Do you really want to know?”

“Of course.”

“If you’re sure… This would make the guys’ jaws drop and drool like zombies. But definitely not me, but truth is, you’re absolutely stunning.”

“Thanks for the compliment. But you know this outfit isn’t allowed in school.”

“Yeah, quite obvious. But even if you did, I would make sure they won’t be able to get into a 10 metre radius around you.” She blushed once again then said, “So why did you want to look for me?” It would sound really weird if I said that I wanted to see her so I came up with a stupid excuse by saying, “No just wondering around the house.”

Suddenly, she bent down to observe my stomach and I felt that my cheeks were burning. She slowly lifted her finger and poked into my stomach. “Hey, what are you doing?”

“Have you been working out?”

“No why?”

“Well… it seems you have more muscle now.”

“Oh. Must be the vegetables you have been feeding me. Thanks anyway.” Then I smiled at her then she blushed again.

“It’s getting late. I think we better sleep. Goodnight.”

“Okay. Goodnight to you too.”

She ran to her room, but I felt odd when she left. I felt…empty when she was not around me. I kept looking at her until she closed the door. I wanted to sleep badly so I went to brush my teeth and the moment my head made contact with the pillow, I fell into a deep sleep. But no matter how tired I was, the scene of Karin’s Dad agreeing that I could marry her kept playing in my mind over and over again. And just then, an unknown feeling burned in my chest. And I fell into total slumber before I could wonder what it was.
