POV Aurelia:

"-Kai, we need to talk" I start, but Kai wants to say something too. He looks happy, but his smile falters at my expression.

He says I can speak first and after much bickering, I give in. "What is it?" he cups my face and I climb onto his lap and give him a big, warm hug.

"We need to talk. I just want some clarification." I pull back slightly. His hands rest on my hips and he nods his head for me to continue.

"I don't know where to start. Kai I love you, if you didn't already know." I take his right hand and place it over my rapidly beating heart. His touch intensifies the rhythm."This belongs to you" I chuckle lightly and Kai does the same.

He leans forward so that our foreheads touch and so do our noses. His nose gently grazes mine and his lips hover over mine. "I already know that" he whispers softly. The tension is so thick that I can't concentrate on what I should have said so I lean back a little.

"I think we need to talk about Chloé, your ex and all the shit we've been through. I think it would be better for both of us." He tenses a little at the sudden change and I feel sorry for him.

I think back to Claire's words and I won't take a break with him, because it would only torment both of us. I will take her advice and communicate. I want Kai to know how much I value our relationship, but I think he knows.

He hums and I feel the vibration in his chest from our proximity.

"I think we need to communicate more and not rely on the first rumour we come across. Because I think it has taken a toll on both of us, especially mentally. And I'm talking about all the problems we've had in our relationship. I think we're sometimes surrounded by toxic people and I don't want them to interfere and cause a scene in something that doesn't concern them." I take a deep breath and see Kai listening intently.

"The media, for example, will do anything to get a bit of drama, even if it means spreading lies and rumours. I just don't want either of us to ignore the other or even break up because of something we heard, read or seen. We need to communicate and hear what the other person has to say. I think we've both learned that now." I chuckle and sigh with relief. Kai's fingertips draw lazy patterns on my hips and he nods.

"Agreed, I was acting stupid, but luckily I've come back to my senses." he chuckles and I have a long laugh. "Maybe, but I did stupid things too, so yeah. Are we officially good now?"

"Of course, we always were," he puts his forehead back on mine and grins like a child getting his favourite ice cream. "What is it?" I smile at his odd behaviour and he only shakes his head, letting his curls tickle my skin.

"You know, I'm glad we talked this out, but I also have to tell you something" he puts his hands under my shirt and caresses the skin there. I shiver at the contact but am determined not to be distracted.

"But, you" he jabs my nose lightly and I give him an annoyed look, though deep down I loved it. "You can't tell anyone, especially not Claire."

My thoughts go back to the conversation between Claire and me. And I know where this is leading. Kai just confirmed our previous conversation and I ask him if our assumption was correct.

"Oh my God, is Timo going to propose?!" I almost scream and he covers my mouth.

"How do you know-?!" he asks dumbfounded, but I squeeze him into a thick hug, causing us to fall onto the bed.

I cling to him and hug him as if his life depended on it. "My best friend is getting married!" I whisper excitedly and Kai shoots into laughter. "I'd tell you this any day if you'd hug me like this then."
