Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,53

open and close. She is looking in her mirror and sees Sean enter. His hair is still wet from the shower and he is already dressed. He doesn’t look upset, so maybe he doesn't know. Maybe the necklace can't tell love?

“Hey,” Sean says, and the tone of his voice tells her that he knows. Kallos opens her mouth to say something, and he just shakes his head and puts his dirty clothes in her basket. “No, Kallos, you don’t have to say anything. I felt your love for him.” Sean looks away from her and this time she isn’t going to let him interrupt her.

“You said you felt my feelings. Then, what am I feeling right now?” Kallos turns to face Sean, and she is eye level with his chest. She walks to him and wraps her arms around him. Kallos puts her head on his chest; then she thinks about how she feels when he is near her. She thinks about his kisses and about how he helped her last night. Kallos thinks how much she is falling in love with Sean, too. Now she is just waiting for him to answer.

“Kallos,” she hears him murmur. “I need to hear it.” And people say that girls are the emotional ones. Kallos smiles against Sean chest.

“I am in love with you. I know that it’s crazy, and we haven’t known each other long. But I can’t think of my life without either of you. The way I feel when I am with you is crazy but I need you. Not just to help me but to love me.” She looks up into his bluish- gray eyes, and she can feel her love for him. It is crazy that she is in love with him and Ian. Most people love only one person at a time. He smiles down at her.

“Oh, Kallos, I love you too. I have been in love with you since my mom showed me that first picture of you. Babe, we are destined to love each other. I'm not going to lie; I don't like that you love my brother, too, but we are both your soul mates. That means that you’re meant to be with both of us.” His joy can’t be contained by just a mere smile. His eyes are showing every bit of happiness he is feeling. “You’re going to have to work with us. We have never been good at sharing with each other. I can promise you one thing, and that is you will be cherished, and we won’t take you for granted. You will have love from both of us.” Kallos can feel the tears well up in her eyes, and they are just about to fall.

She never thought that her bad boy would be the one confessing his love for her. She never thought he would ever tell her exactly how he felt about her. Kallos fell in love fast, and the truth is she isn't scared any more. He smiles, and she sees the shimmer from his unshed tears. She stands on her tippy toes and kisses his lips; it's a short but sweet kiss. When they open their eyes, she sees a tear escape from his right eye. She reaches for it and catches it on her finger. She leaves her hand on his cheek. Sean whispers tenderly, “How did we get so lucky to have you in our lives?”

“Enough! We need to get down stairs.” Kallos is chuckling, and he winks at her. Then, he brings her hand to his lips and kisses it sweetly. She shakes her head at him and leaves him in the room. When she gets down stairs, her dad and Ian are already eating. Ian looks up at her and gives her a small smile; her dad smiles at her, too.

“Good morning, Sweetie. How was your night?” Kallos’ dad asks as she is sitting down next to Ian.

“It was fine.” What is she supposed to say, that she just realized she’s in love. Oh and she happens to be in love with two boys. Ian finds her hand under the table, and their fingers intertwine. Her mom comes over to Kallos and places pancakes in front of her. There is a pile of golden butter on top dripping down on the side of the plate; she loves buttery pancakes. “Thanks, Mom,” She smiles up at her mom who nods and smiles back. Kallos looks up to see Sean enter, and he is
