Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,78
that is what I told him I would give you. He always told me that those rocks are rare and hard to find. I told him that I would search for one for you. No matter how long it took me, I would find you one.”
“Well, thank you. I really do love it.” Kallos gets on her knees in front of him and stares into his eyes, “Are we okay?” Kallos puts her hands on his legs for balance.
“I want us to be. Are you sure you don’t want to know what happened?” She smiles at him; she really does want to know, but not now.
“No. It wasn’t really you yesterday, and it doesn’t matter as long as you are here now. That’s all that matters. Now, I think I should be able to get a morning kiss.” Ian grins at her and leans in to kiss her. She really has missed his kisses and his holding her. She pulls away and smiles at him, “I’m going to head down stairs. My mom likes to cook a lot on the weekend.” Kallos puts the rock next to the flower, and then she walks to the door. As she walks past him, he grabs her hand.
“Tell your mom that I will be down in a minute.” Then Kallos remembers that her mom baked him some brownies. She walks over to her backpack, grabs them, and then hands them to him.
“My mom made these for you yesterday.” Then she walks out the door.

Ian smiles as Kallos walks out of the room. He really doesn't believe that she doesn't want to know what he did last night. In time, he will just tell her, even if she doesn't want to know. He can’t believe what he did. Nikki is easy but Karissa isn't. Yesterday, when Karissa told him that she loved him like more than a friend, he didn't know what to do. Now, he probably just messed up their friendship for good. He hears a knock at the door.
“Yeah!” He already knows that it's Sean.
“Are you still you?” Sean smiles at him.
“You're funny this morning. What's up?” Ian knows that Sean is checking on him and he doesn't mind. He really loves his brother and would do almost anything for him. Even when they fight he loves his brother.
“I think we should go on dates with Kallos.”
“That is a great idea. But who goes first?” Ian knows that Sean thinks he is entitled to everything first just because he is older.
Sean pulls out a quarter and smiles at Ian, “Want to flip for it?” Sean asks and winks at Ian.
“Fine, but I want heads,” Ian knows that Sean always picks heads. Sean flips the coin in the air, and Ian watches it land on the back of Sean's hand. Sean lifts his hand and Ian sees heads! Ian smirks, “I get to go first!”
“Whatever, I get her tomorrow all to myself.” Sean pauses and really looks at Ian, “Hey, are you sure you are up to being alone with her?”
“I'm fine. I promise.”
“If you need me, you can call me, and I will be there. Are you going to tell Kallos about Nikki and Karissa?” Ian looks away from his big brother.
“She said she doesn't want to know,” Ian looks back at Sean who is holding back his laughter.
“How long do you think that will work? You know Nikki is going to tell everyone what happened on your birthday. Do you really want Kallos to find out like that?”
Ian doesn't. He wants to be the one to tell her, but she said that she didn’t want to know. He knows that she cares, and when she finds out, it will kill her.
“I know, and I’ll tell her,” Ian says. Sean starts walking to the door.
“I'm going get dressed. I'll see you downstairs.” Sean walks out and Ian is left thinking about what he is going to do.
