Chapter 4



It had been a while now since our weekend trip to the mountains now, only having a couple of weeks till finals. Kira was busy with her artwork, being an Art Education major, and me with my history homework. Being tired of stuck in the room working all the time, Kira decided to make a trip, and she wouldn’t take me with her…she had said that it was going to be a surprise and I had to wait till she got back. So I waited, and waited, and waited…finally seeing her walk in fully clothed in what I knew to be riding gear, only to see full gear of a different color in her arms. Smiling at me, she handed it to me and told me to put it on. So I did, but as I looked at it, there was a women’s Jet-Z textile jacket, black sport tour leather overpants, Champion Air boots, women’s HDX gloves, and a CL-SP Eve helmet. Only imagining how much she had just spent on both of us, something I didn’t want to really think about. I knew that if she had bought all the gear, she had also bought the motorcycles to ride. Observing her, I noticed that she wore a Timax 2 leather jacket, with Havoc leather/textile pants, SMX- 4 gloves, fuel street shoes, and a CL-15 Crypt helmet…absolutely loving the way that the gear fit her body. Now noticing that her name was painted fancy on the back of her helmet, looking at mine and noticing the same thing…definitely not wanting to know how much she had just spent on the both of us…just for our gear.



“So…what do you think??” She asked as soon as I had everything on…she looked happy to see that everything fit. “I love it, but why did you spend so much on me??” I asked shocked out of my mind…wondering about the bike that she had got me. “Well…I missed your birthday, and I felt like buying a motorcycle…thought I’d buy you one too…I have way too much money available to me…and I knew that you liked motorcycles…so I bought all of it…” She said smiling, but fidgeting. “Not only that, but I’ve been wanting one for a really long time now…” She said looking up to me and motioning for me to follow, and of course…I did.



Coming out to the front, it was then that I saw two Honda ’08 CBR600RR’s, one in graffiti coloring, and the other one a metallic silver. I knew then that she had spent too much…but she was serious about giving it to me, so I shut my mouth…it would only end up bad if I refused it.



“You ready to go for a ride??” She asked me, looking at the hesitancy in my face. “Um…well…I’ve ridden one…but never drove one…” I said…a little bit embarrassed. “It’s okay…hop on…we’ll go for a ride on mine then…” She said as she climbed on her bike and put on her helmet, me doing the same and holding onto her waist, ready for her to take off.



Switch POV



Okay…so I had to admit that I overdid it, buying her gear as well as mine, including the bikes. My pocketbook would be empty for a while now…ready for summer to start again so that I could make some more serious money. I had to admit that she looked absolutely gorgeous in all that gear though, hugging her in all the right places, ready to attract any person that looked at her, gay, straight…it didn’t matter…and it was then that I wondered how I appeared to other people…hopefully more or less the same as Loki did. As I felt her arms wrap around my waist, I started the bike up, hearing the roar and feeling the power underneath my legs, feeling Loki shiver with fright at all the power this bike held. Thinking I should take it easy on her, lest we crash…I slowly backed the bike out…ready to go. Getting onto the highway, I revved the engine up as we went speeding down the highway…40…50…60…70…80…feeling Loki’s grip tighten on me…knowing that I was pushing it with her going 80…at least with her riding on the back…she probably didn’t feel very safe. I probably wouldn’t either…but this was enough to let her know the strength and power of the bikes…one she had to learn to control soon…because I couldn’t always take her where she wanted to go. Now, whether she wanted to go fast or not was completely up to her, but the power was there.



As I continued down the highway going 80, I suddenly felt her lean forward on me, feeling her body flush against mine…making me a little bit nervous. Slowing down, knowing that she would let go if I did…we came off an exit to a park. The park was small…but it had its own little lake, with a bridge and podium going across it and sitting in the middle. As I parked my motorcycle, I saw her shaking as we got off…headed towards the podium in the middle of the lake. “Wow…I never knew that thing had that much power…” She said…coming off her natural high from the speed we had gone. “Yeah…it’s a dangerous thing, but fun…” I said laughing at her, wondering if the shaking was because she was scared or excited. “So…did I scare you??” I asked with a smile on my face…teasing her. “No…I was just excited…” She said as I had received the answer to all my questions. “Are you ready to drive it??” I asked with a smile on my face, teasing her yet again. “Only when you teach me, but you’re not teaching me on that thing…it has too much power for a beginner…good thing I’m a quick learner…” She said smiling. “Yeah…well…that’s the first time I’ve driven one like that…I rode dirt bikes before…and only the 150 cc’s.” I said remembering one of my wrecks…which I luckily came away from unscathed…however, causing my parents to forbid me from ever riding one again.



“Wow…that test ride must have been exhilarating then…” She said with a smile, as she knew that I had gotten a natural high off of it, just by the look I had in my eyes when she said that. “Yeah…it was exhilarating…and fun…” I said smiling, ready to head back to the college to prepare for finals. After all…I was an Art Education major and the studio hours we had to put in were ridiculous. “You ready to head back??” I asked her, coming to stand by her. “Yeah…and you can go over 80 ya know…just be careful…I’m not really confident being on the back of the bike and going that fast…just make sure I’m okay when you do…” She said, with me believing her…that wasn’t the most secure feeling place to be without something on the back to hold you on. “Will do…” I said as I walked back over to my motorcycle, putting my helmet on and starting it up. As soon as she was on…I backed it up and took off. Going back towards the college, I pushed the bike back up to 80 miles an hour…90…100…110…pushing it to the limit as I felt Loki’s arms wrapped so tightly around me, I thought she was going to choke me. Finally reaching the college, I parked my motorcycle next to hers, and turned it off. “Wow…that was fun…” She said as she could barely walk from the lack of oxygen to her head from going 110 on the motorcycle. “Yeah…it was…” I said...knowing that if I were on curves, I would’ve enjoyed it a lot more…but with a lot more risk.



“Look…Kira…I’m not sure if I’ll ever drive this thing…” She said, finally confronting me about it, because I guess it scared the shit out of her to think about driving something that powerful. “Okay…are you saying you don’t want this bike??” I asked her, knowing that I would soon have a backup bike if I ever wrecked this one. “Yeah…I’d be content with a smaller, less powerful motorcycle…” she said with worry all over her face, “At least until I learn how to drive one and aren’t so afraid of it…” she confirmed with me as I shook my head in okay. “Alright, you can come with me when I go back up there to finish paying for them…I’ll let you choose one then…k??” I said smiling at her, wondering if I should go ahead and call a friend up to come get it and store it at my place. As we headed inside…I took one last look at my baby, ready to sleep.



Finals had finally come, and I had taken each one carefully…making sure I had answered everything correctly. However, knowing that I’d never get everything correct…I was happy with how I did…I was content. However happy I was that finals were over, I was sad as the school year was ending, everybody making their way back to their respectable homes, including Loki. Being stuck at my house by myself, I opened up the offer that she could come visit anytime she wanted to get away, telling her that she could even ride her new motorcycle over there, which she had learned to ride and very quickly mastered. Knowing I was going to miss her, I packed up my stuff and headed home…home to work for a living for a while…no excitement.



Two months later, I called Loki up to ask her to stay at my house for a while…not telling her that I had a trip in mind for her. Having money again to spend, I could afford to…and I would. When she told me she could, I set my plans in motion…knowing she would be arriving in 2 days. As I called up a friend and asked a favor of them, they agreed to it and told me I could use it as long as I wanted to, anytime I wanted to…I then thanked them and called the restaurant we would be eating at that first night. As soon as that was done…all I could do was wait.



As the 2 days quickly went by, busying myself with work…I quickly heard the motor of Loki’s motorcycle approach my house. Smiling, I quickly ran to the door, only to see her grabbing her stuff and slinging it over her shoulder. “Hey Kira…how’s your summer been so far??” She asked, looking like she hadn’t had a descent nights rest since we left college. “Busy…and boring…bored out of my mind when I’m not working…” I said with a frown on my face, worried about Loki at once…but leaving it alone until she would tell me about it. “I believe ya…So…where do I sleep? I’m dog tired…I haven’t had a descent night’s sleep in ages…” she said as she looked like she was about to pass out. “Well…you can take my bed…I’ll sleep on the couch…” I said, not worrying about anything…she needed sleep…and she needed to relax. “Thank you…” she said smiling at me as she lightly kissed my cheek before heading into my room. It was a calming blue with a full sized bed…ready and awaiting a body to pull into its deep slumber…and pull it did as Loki passed out within two minutes of lying down. I smiled though; she was getting some sleep now…which meant that she’d be less worried about everything else back at home now that she was away and here with me. Watching her sleep, caused me not to want to sleep…only to find myself passed out in the chair watching her soon enough. I was worried about her, what else was I going to do?





Switch POV





As I woke up from a bad dream, I looked over to see Kira dead asleep in the chair beside the bed…I could tell she was really worried about me if she refused to leave me alone. I quickly grabbed an extra blanket and put it on her, not wanting to disturb her peacefulness…making my way to the kitchen to find something to eat. Looking in the fridge…I found chicken pasta in white sauce…one of Kira’s favorite dishes…she had always loved the stuff. As I continued to dig, I found some leftover Mexican food…but was weary of it, I didn’t think my stomach was up for the challenge today. So I shut the fridge, and found a local number to a Chinese restaurant that was circled…no doubt used frequently by Kira…she did love her Chinese food. She never settled for anything less than good when it came to food…it was one of those things you could appreciate about her…she didn’t have cheap tastes…maybe that was why she didn’t attract any guys…who knew? All I knew was that I was hungry and I ordered enough for two people, telling them the address, and making my way into the living room.

As soon as I turned on the tv, Kira came up behind me, still not quite awake and sat down beside me. “Sleep well?” she asked me, concern showing on her face as she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me close…me coming closer…enjoying the caring embrace…letting it calm me. “Yeah…had a bad dream though, and was hungry when it woke me up…” I said…smiling and laughing because as I heard my stomach growl, her stomach echoed it’s call…she blushed…knowing that her stomach would always cause trouble when it came to food. Suddenly popping her head up to the door, grabbing her wallet and opening the door before the delivery person could even knock on the door. I laughed so hard, I fell off the couch and onto the floor, rolling around, grabbing my ribs. It was like she had food radar…either that or she could smell when her when food was near. Either way, she paid for the food, and laughed because of the amount that was there.



“Were you going to eat all this by yourself??” She asked me with her mouth agape…I don’t even think she ordered this much…but what could I say, I liked my Chinese food too, and boy did it smell GOOD. “Well…I was intending to…” I said with a smile, knowing good and well that the reason I was hungry was because back at home, I didn’t eat much and I didn’t sleep at all…it was the perks of being depressed…but now that I was here and away from all of that…I was starving. At least, that’s what my stomach was telling me. As Kira laid the food out and set everything up to eat, I grabbed a plate and dug in…putting fried rice on my plate, with crab puffs, and noodles…lots and lots of noodles. Finding the Kung pow chicken, piling it on my plate, all this food on my plate being larger than what Kira’s was.



Kira was laughing at me, shoveling the food into my mouth with chopsticks, laughing because I was eating more and faster than she was. She finally got to the point though where she told me to slow down before I choked to death from not breathing, and I knew that she meant it when she said it. So, slowing down, I actually began to savor the tasted of the food, and learned that it was the finest Chinese food I had ever tasted…piling some more on my plate.





Switch POV





I laughed, but was really worried about Loki as I watched her pile even more food on her plate, going back for thirds. Normally she never ate this much, which led me to believe that she hadn’t eaten anything at all when she was at home. My guess was that the stress had gotten to her, not allowing her to sleep or eat…I had seen it happen to her before and I myself pulled her out of the slump…just by being there for her. I loved her so much, but could never tell her that I loved her like that…knowing it probably wouldn’t make a difference anyways…wouldn’t change anything. I could tell now that she had lost a little weight which worried me, and made me plan to make her stay with me for the rest of the summer, not allowing her to go into a depression. Cleaning up, I looked at her and watched her as she went to the bathroom and then laid down on the bed again, quickly passing out on the bed…however, telling me to join her this time before she went to sleep…knowing I would just sit there and watch her sleep again. Obeying her orders, I slipped into the bed with her, only to find her turning and hugging me closer to her, allowing me to quickly fall asleep with her in my arms.



Waking in the morning, I found Loki still asleep in my arms. I knew that if I moved…she would wake, and wanting to let her sleep…I stayed put…but only until I had to pee. I quickly got up, went pee and had Loki back in my arms before she could even stir…quickly falling asleep again.



Loki stirring in my arms, I woke up, planning to ask her to stay with me for the rest of the summer. Knowing that way, that she would get sleep and actually eat…unlike what she was doing during the summer already.



“Hey…sleep well?” I asked her as she turned over to face me…looking at me. “Yeah…I did…I needed it too…” she said as she brushed her hand along my cheek, smiling as she did so, wondering what was going through her mind in that moment.





Switch POV





It was nice, waking up in Kira’s arms, so warm and full of compassion and love, so secure…knowing that she would do this for any of her friends in need. It was then that I reached up and touched her cheek with my hand, thinking about how much she cared for me, and worried about me and smiled. Seeing a guarded expression in her eyes as I continued to do so…it was also somewhat confused…like she was trying to figure something out…but it went away when I pulled my hand away. I just smiled at her as I said “Thank you…for everything…” and ran off to the bathroom to take a shower and change.



Coming out of the bathroom refreshed and clean, I smelled pancakes with eggs and bacon…awakening my senses. “Hmm…smells good…” I said as I sat down to the plate put down in front of me, chowing down. “Hey…Loki…I want you to stay with me here for the rest of the summer till we go back to the college…” she said as she ate her breakfast as well. I just looked up at her, seeing the worry and concern in her face…knowing that she was serious. “I would Kira…but I have some things I have to resolve before I head back to the college…” I said, remembering quite well what I had to look forward to confronting and resolving back at home. “Please Loki, I’m really worried about you, I’ll go with you if you want me to…if you need the support that is…that way I also know that you’re getting your sleep and eating…” she said…being very serious about this topic. “Okay, but we have to go resolve this soon, before it builds up too much…and then we’ll get my stuff and bring it here…” I said, knowing that I couldn’t refuse the offer she had just made…I was always relaxed around her…and I would need it to face the problem back at home…knowing that she wasn’t going anywhere without me.



“Okay…we’ll do that, after we get back from our trip…” she said as she picked up the dishes and washed them up. “Wait…what trip??” I asked…not knowing a single thing about this trip. “Well…I planned a trip for us…so you could completely get away from everything, as long as you’re at my house, they can find you…but as long as we’re away…you can avoid it till you’re ready to confront it…” she said very seriously, leaning against the counter looking at me. The thought was a good one, and I could tell that she had seriously thought this out. “Okay, I guess that’s reasonable…and understandable…” I said, smiling up at her. “When do we leave?” I asked getting up and walking to stand next to her. “In about an hour, I’ve already got everything ready, and I’m taking you somewhere nice tonight…” she said as she gave me a hug and running off to finish packing everything.



As she was doing that, I just smiled…Kira always knew how to lift my spirits, when I myself didn’t even know that they were low. The gestures were wonderful, and I knew that I had a true friend…but could I possibly be feeling more for her, more than friends?? No…I couldn’t, it would just cause more problems, and might even risk our friendship, which was one that I would die for if I didn’t have a choice. Kira meant that much to me, I would die for her if the time came to do so…because somebody like her deserves to continue living in the world…to bless people. So loving and so caring, she deserved somebody who would treat her right and could love her like she loved them.



Being lost in my thoughts for about an hour, Kira came into the kitchen…”You coming??” she asked as I was roused out of my thoughts, “yeah…I’m coming…” I said. I quickly followed her, grabbing my pack to take with me. As we put our safety gear on and climbed on her motorcycle, we started on our trip…I didn’t know where we were going…but I was happy to get away, away from all the people that were causing the problems. Feeling the breeze fly by me, I quickly became absorbed in the ride, concentrating only on Kira and the great lengths she went to, only to please me and make me happy.
