10. Your body is warm

CARA

I ate breakfast in my underwear, which I always did. I always sleep in my underwear cause I'm always so warm and I like the cold. But this day when I ate breakfast in my underwear, someone knocked the door. I looked over at the door and realized that it's probably Kendall. So I ran to the toilet and put on a robe. Then I ran back to the door and unlocked it.

"Hey," I said happy.

"Hello sunshine," she greeted back and went inside. "Why are you wearing a robe?"

Um... Because I am almost naked.

"Because I like to wear a robe in the morning." I lied.

"Oh," she said. "What are you doing then?"

"I just ate breakfast..." I answered.

"Nice. What did you eat?"

"A glass of juice..." I said a bit embarrassed.

"A glass of juice? Is that all?" she asked shocked. 

"Yes."

"You know that the most important meal on the day is breakfast, and you barely eat breakfast." she stated.

"I know," I admitted. "I'm just not hungry."

"Can't even eat a banana?"

"Nope. I'm good." 

"C'mon, you can eat a banana. For me. Eat it, and you will make me happy."

She didn't have to say anything more. I just went and grabbed a banana and started to eat it.

"Okay but this is just for you. If you're making me eat more, I think I'm gonna throw up."

She looked at me puzzled with her eyebrows furrowed more than usual. It looked like she was wondering something.

"Cara are you alright?" she asked worried.

"Of course I am. Why?"

She walked closer to me, and put her hands on my robe.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

She didn't answer. But what she did was, she took off my robe and let it fall to the ground.

"What are you doing?" I repeated and tried to cover myself.

She was just staring at my body. I felt pretty much exposed. This was more awkward than uncomfortable. 

She started to walk closer to me, so I started to walk backwards. Until I hit the edge of the couch, and got trapped.

"Kendall I'm a bit scared-"

She moved her hands to my waist and caressed it with her soft hands. Her hands moved up and down. And then she put a hand on my stomach.

"Seriously, what are you doing...?" Now I was even more scared.

She removed her hands and took a step back.

"Sorry, I just wanted to see a thing..."

"Can you give me my robe?" I asked embarrassed.

She chuckled and tossed it to me.

"Why are you in your underwear?" she asked.

"Because I always sleep in my underwear," I explained.

"Oh I see."

"I should go and put on some clothes," I said and went to my bedroom.

"Shit what am I supposed to wear now then!?" I whispered.

I just put on a hoodie and some jeans.

I walked out and saw Kendall sitting on the couch looking at the window. Then she noticed that I was standing like right next to her, so she looked at me.

"Nice clothes." she commented.

"Thanks..." I said nervous. "What do you want to do?"

"I have an idea. Let's play cards."

I gave her a card game and listened to her.

"Let's play poker. But," she started. "If you lose, you have to eat a banana."

Why does she want to eat?

"Sure," I just answered suspicious. I think I know what she wants me to do.

So we played for a while, but I never lost. So she was like eating 6 bananas, and it was pretty funny.

"This didn't go quite as I planned..." she mumbled with a banana in her mouth.

I laughed.

"Kendall."

She looked questioning at me.

"Did you want to play this because you thought I was extremely skinny?" I asked, but gave her a smile so she wouldn't feel stupid.

She looked down and blushed a little.

"Yes..."

"It's okay, I know that I am really skinny. But don't worry, I don't have any eating disorders."

"Thank god. I almost started to wonder." she said and smiled again.

"Almost?" I chuckled. "You literally undressed me just to look at my body."

Now she blushed again. And it was kind of cute.

"I know. I hope you didn't think I was weird."

"I already know that you are weird Kendall, don't worry." I teased.

"Shut up!" she chuckled and threw a pillow on me.

I ran to the other side of the couch where Kendall was sitting, and started to wrestle with her. I was on top of her and held her hands against the couch. I was technically straddling her. 

"I win," I whispered to her face.

But then she suddenly got a new found strength and pushed me off the couch. And not soon after, she was on top of me on the floor. Straddling me. We had totally switched positions. She leaned down and was super close to my face.

"You lose," she whispered to my face this time.

"I'm still stronger than you." I teased and sat up with her still in my lap.

I grabbed her legs, almost her butt, and stood up. She was pretty surprised, so she just put her arms around my neck to not fall back. She tried to snake out of my hold, but I was stronger. I carried her to my bedroom and then I threw her on my bed.

When she landed on her back, I jumped in the bed and straddled her again. I pinned down her hands on the sheets.

"I win," I finally whispered.

"Okay okay, fine, you win!" she died of laughter. "But this is not over."

"Never," I said and smiled to her.

I got off her and sat in the bed next to Kendall who was lying down in the bed.

"Cara," she whispered serious.

"Yeah?" I answered. 

"Come and cuddle with me."

I looked at her and she probably saw that I was a bit confused. Or not confused, I was just insecure.

"Lay down."

"Mh-kay," I answered.

So I did. I lay down next to her and stared at the ceiling. I didn't know what to do. But then I felt Kendall's arm around my waist. Her nose was slightly touching my ear. My heartbeat raced and it was so difficult to stay cool. I swear, I started to sweat more than I usually do. 

I closed my eyes and inhaled the sweet cocoa scent of hers. But I did it as discreet as I could. 

"Please hug me back," she chuckled.

I turned around so I face her. She still held my waist. And now when I turned around to face her, our noses bumped into each other. Our chests touched and we were so close. I awkwardly put my arm around her too, like she asked for. She put a leg between my legs so our legs were entangled.

"You tired?" she asked.

"Nah, not anymore. I almost just woke up," I answered.

Our eyes were so close to each other, it was almost hard to look at her.

"Let's take a nap anyway." she said and closed her eyes.

I honestly wasn't tired, but now when she closed her eyes, I got extremely tired! So I also closed my eyes. And soon, I was dreaming.

I was standing outside smoking when Kendall walked up to me. I greeted and she hugged me. No one was around, so we were pretty much  alone on the street. Suddenly Kendall pushed me against the wall, and I dropped the cigarette on the ground. I didn't say anything. I just looked at her. She was looking at me with her brown eyes and I could see the lust in them. 

And the second after, everything was black. But I felt lips on my lips, moving in sync with mine. Then I realized I had closed my eyes. So I opened them carefully and saw Kendall kissing me. 

Then I woke up. I opened my eyes and saw...

Kendall.

She was lying on top of me, and my lips were on her cheek. I was practically making out with her cheek. I took back my lips, and looked at her with a scared face. Was she still asleep? Please be asleep. 

Well, she didn't open her eyes, so I assume that she still was sleeping. I sighed of relief and closed my eyes again. But I wouldn't let myself fall asleep again. I would probably never let myself fall asleep again if Kendall was here. This was so embarrassing.

I pulled back my legs a little so my knees were bent. Kendall's legs were between my legs now. Her face was against my face, so cheek against cheek. I put my arms around her back, and unluckily fell asleep again.

But this time, I didn't dream anything.

I woke up and felt really empty. I opened my eyes slowly and saw that Kendall was lying right next to me. I groaned. I was frustrated without a real reason.

Then I saw Kendall shivering really badly. Her whole body was shaking and it looked like she was freezing. Her arms were crossed on her chest and her facial expression gave me a hint that she wasn't satisfied. 

I quickly put my arms around her to kinda calm her down. I felt her skin against my skin and realized that she was cold as ice. I got worried and hugged her harder. And at the end, she was a little bit warmer.

"Kendall," I was getting more and more worried.

"Kendall!" I repeated a bit louder.

She opened her eyes, and a tear escaped her bloodshot eyes.

"Kendall are you okay!?" I panicked.

"I'm fine. I just had a nightmare." she said and closed her eyes again. I could tell that she was tired.

"Kendall look at me," I pleaded. "I'll go and get some more clothes. You are cold as ice!"

She still didn't open her eyes. I sighed and ran to my wardrobe. I grabbed a blanket and another blanket and another blanket and a warm scarf. I ran back to her and lifted her up. I held her like a baby. I put her under my comforter and put all the blankets on her too. I took the scarf and swirled it around her neck. But not too tight though.

I quickly got in under the big comforter and held her tightly to me. She was lying on her back while I was on my side. I put my leg over her body and my arm crossed her stomach.

"Kendall are you alive?" I whispered.

"Of course I am. I'm just tired, and a bit cold."

"Why are you cold?"

She hesitated. "I don't know."

"Are you still cold?" 

"Not as much as before. You kind of gave me heat." she smiled, but still never opened her eyes. "Thanks Cara."

"Don't thank me," I quickly answered. "Am I helping you at all?"

"Cara, you can literally take off all the blankets and I'll still be warm with just you."

Naaaww Kendall you melt my heart. What am I supposed to do with myself? 

"What did you dream?"

"I dreamed about my past..." she answered low.

"Oh..." I got a feeling she didn't want to talk about it.

"Cara."

"Yes?"

"I'm warm now," she said and opened her eyes and smiled to me.

"Thank God! You really scared me there for a second." I sighed out of relief once again.

She sat up and stretched. I always looked at her. She slowly stood up, and waved to me to come. We went to the kitchen and just talked for like hours. But the hours went so fast, it almost felt like seconds.
