First Time

You got it all

Chapter 7: You got it all

...Flinging the door open, Kori was fully prepared to run out into the rain, but upon opening the door she discovered someone was waiting for her. Someone she hadn't seen or heard from in a long time. Someone with jet black hair, a boy. She froze, her eyes widening as she drunk in the sight of him, and he smirked at her.

"Hey, cutie. Long time no see."

The fear washed away from her body and suddenly Kori felt breathless. "... Xavier..."

Xavier smiled at her, using his free hand that wasn't holding his black umbrella to do a two finger salute.

There was a moment of silence that passed between them as Kori tried to overcome her disbelief. It had been so long, so very long, since she had last seen Xavier, since she had last heard his voice, and now suddenly he was here. Right in front of her, a smile on his face, looking exactly the same as she remembered him. Suddenly, some light had poured through the dark clouds that had covered her heart and she didn't feel completely alone.

Kori sniffled as her eyes filled with tears. "Xavier... Xavier!" she launched herself into his arms, causing him to stumble backwards and drop his umbrella which got carted off by the wind. As the rain dropped down upon them Kori hugged Xavier tighter, an embrace he affectionately returned, his smile broading. "I can't believe you're actually here... I've missed you so much."

He rested his cheek on top of her head. "I've missed you, too."

TT

Xavier stepped out of the bathroom, now dressed in sweatpants and a white Wife beater, having retrieved the spare clothes from his car before entering the house. As he stepped into the hall he met with Kori who had also changed into something dry. She scrubbed her head with a purple towel and held an extra one out to him, an apologetic look on her face.

"Sorry for getting you wet... and for making you drop your umbrella. I can replace that, I promise."

He shrugged indifferently, taking the towel from her. "Eh, it's cool," he pushed her damp bangs to the side and smiled. "Best hug of my life."

She beamed at him and playfully ruffled his hair with the towel in her hand. He moved backwards to escape her and playfully hit her with the towel, the two of them laughing.

As her laughter subsided, Kori eyed Xavier. After a pause, she spoke. "Hey... are you hungry?"

He titled his head and scratched the top of it. "Um... yeah, I guess so."

"Perfect," she announced with a smile as she took one of his hands and pulled him along to the stairs. "I have a fully stocked kitchen and no one to share it with."

They went down to the kitchen and browsed through the cabinets and refridgerator. Kori threw out the possibility of her whipping something up for the both of them, but Xavier was against that idea and playfully mocked her cooking skills. She huffed and crossed her arms, pretending to be upset and blamed the appliances that were to hard to master. Xavier then said he would cook them something, but Kori fervently denied his proposal. She didn't want a guest in her home to do the cooking. They had a moment of silence then, debating on what they should do. They had already agreed that ordering out was pointless, due to the weather it would take longer for the delivery man to arrive and thus the food would be cold. That's when the perfect idea hit them. They could make their own sundaes.

And that's what they did. Each had their own personalized dessert and were enjoying it merrily as they sat at the kitchen table.

"So," Xavier began as he filled his spoon. "At what time should I run for the hills?"
