Confusing Feelings

I wake up next to an empty spot in bed. I get up, stretching and letting out a yawn. I leave Kai's bedroom, shutting the door and walking to the kitchen.

I stop in the doorway, watching as Kai cooks breakfast, filling two plates up with food.

He's still in only his sweatpants, and I can't stop my eyes from lingering over his body.

"Morning." He suddenly says, making my eyes flicker up to his. He has a smirk on his face as he turns the oven off and walks to the table with both of the plates in his hands.

I sit down next to him, letting my leg brush his.

"You were staring." He states, picking up his fork.

"And what would I have been staring at?" I ask, nudging his arm.

"Well, if you were half-naked, I would stare at you, so it's safe to say we both know what you were staring at." He explains.

I know my face is red, and I try to hide it, inching away from Kai.

But he pulls my hands away from my face, cupping my chin momentarily.

"I wasn't even trying to make you flustered, princess." He whispers, taking his hand away and going back to his plate.

I think the chance of me going into cardiac arrest is now 99%.

"Do you still have the magic from the knife?" I ask, changing the subject so that my cheeks aren't bright red anymore.

"A little bit of it. I used a majority trying to find a spell to get us out of here. Why?" He asks, pushing his plate away to focus on me.

"Well, I only have a bit of magic left as well. If I could find I way to take the remaining magic you have or you could take mine, we could probably contact Bonnie." I explain, stacking my plate on top of his after only having a few bites.

"I could take your magic, but there's a big possibility of you blacking out again. And you wouldn't get all of your magic back until we got back into the real world. It's dangerous, but it's worth a shot." He states, picking up our dishes and placing them in the sink.

I stand up as well, about to head out the door when Kai's voice stops me.

"Elle?" He asks, making me turn around. "You're not going to leave me behind, right?"

"Of course not. I'm giving you another chance. And so far, it's been wonderful. I want you to be able to interact with people. Maybe it'll help you a bit." I reply. He gives me a small nod, and I leave the kitchen.

I walk down the stairs after getting ready. I changed into a dress, and I actually made myself look decent for the first time in the past few weeks.

If we were about to go home, then I wanted to look like I hadn't been kept in a basement for six years.

I come down to see Kai in the living room with a few books on the table in front of him.

"What are you looking at?" I ask, walking closer to him.

He looks up, and I watch as his eyes widen looking at me.
