The little surprise party was successful. Kiara enjoyed herself. We all sat around and we played some games together and just had a fun time. The thing about our family was that we didn't need to be doing anything in particular to have fun, we could just hang out and talk and it was fun enough.

After a while, Momma turned on some music and I found myself pulling Kiara up so we could dance together. I knew she loved to dance whenever there was music on. I witnessed that in the kitchen at home all the time.

She spun around and she wrapped her arms around me, swaying back and forth as I held onto her and did the same. She was so damn beautiful, especially when she smiled.

That day was special. She was so happy and cheerful. When we danced all she wanted to do was laugh. She danced with me and told me a few of Dad's jokes that she just found absolutely hilarious. I let her be silly, and spin me around too, even though I was too tall for her to do it properly. She sang along to some of the music and she got others to dance with us too.

Eventually, Uncle Gabriel and Romeo had run off somewhere, probably to set something up on the balcony for Kiara. But everyone else was dancing with their partner. Theo had Mia in his arms and was spinning her around and Evan was doing the same for Mila.

Kiara was very much a happy birthday girl. We got out some candles and cake and we all sang happy birthday to her. But my shy girl hid behind me the entire time, her face turning bright red.

Romeo made her wear a party hat that said it was her birthday on it, and then we all enjoyed some cake and lots and lots of snacks as well. Soon it got kind of dark, and then we all sat around near the fire place and told scary stories. Mia and Mila were passed out in Dad and Uncle Rico's laps and we were all sitting there trying to scare each other.

I was a little weary about doing this with Kiara since she might be a little more sensitive to it, but it turned out almost nothing scared her.

Eventually, everyone started heading to bed. I took Kiara to our room and both of us took turns showering. I brushed her hair for her and blow dried it as well while she talked about all the amazing things she'd done and gotten that day. She was just so happy.

After we were done, she threw a fluffy pillow at me which made me chase her around and try tickling her. I caught her trying to escape the bedroom and I threw her over my shoulder. I carried her to the bed and threw her back onto it, then I tickled her until I knew I had to stop.

She giggled and smiled up at me as she calmed down. Then her hand came up to my face and brushed away my hair, stroking my cheek too. I looked into those beautiful green eyes and watched as she lost herself in my eyes as well.

There was something about the way I was hovering over her, but also cradling her in my arms. She was so precious, so innocent and pure. I would've given anything to kiss her in that moment. Absolutely anything.

You can't kiss her, Vidal, you can't.

But she's so perfect, she deserves all the kisses in the world.

She's going to panic if I do it.

No she won't, she loves me.

She wants to kiss me too.

One little birthday kiss won't hurt, right?

It's literally not legal. You'd be taking advantage of her.

But she's better, and I can always fix the caregiver situation later.

Just kiss her!

No don't!

God, she's so damn precious.

I need to do it, her beautiful eyes are begging me to.

Kiara's hand brushed my hair back again and her hand wrapped around the back of my neck.

Oh my God, is she going to do it?

Is she about to kiss me?

I can't let her kiss me!

But I can't stop her either!

I can't reject her when I, myself, want to kiss the living daylights out of this gorgeous woman.

Please, please don't do it, Kiara.

This is going to end in disaster either way, isn't it?

"I love you, Vivi." She whispered softly, making my situation infinitely worse.

Hit me with that line, why don't you? God, Kiara, you sure know how to drive a man insane.

Please kiss me, baby.

Kiss me so I don't have to stop you.

Kiss me so I can kiss you and then end this torture once and for all.

I felt the pressure she was putting on the back of my neck slowly increase as she pulled me closer and my heart rate peaked.

"Kiara." I breathed out involuntarily.

She smiled at me, her other hand stroking my cheek and slowly sliding down to my neck and then my chest.

Shoot! She can feel my heart pounding now, can't she?

What if I just take this too far?

God knows I can't control myself.

Just lean in yourself and give her a short peck, maybe that's the best case scenario.

She pulled me down, but then I just let go, letting my body fall closer to hers. Both of us were panting for some reason. Our foreheads connected and so did our noses.

"I love you, Vivi." She repeated.

No, no, no! You won't be able to control yourself! Stop this now!

Don't let her kiss you! You don't even know how to kiss a girl properly!

End this before it can start, Vidal! You need to end this!

I was too late though. Kiara wanted this and she was going to get it this time.

Her hands were expertly luring me closer, and I couldn't rip my eyes away from hers.

This isn't in your hands anymore, Vidal. It's up to her what to do now.

Your Kiwi gets what she wants.

Oh shoot! What if my breath stinks, or if I don't know how to kiss her?

What if I'm a bad kisser, what if-

Before I could doubt myself in my head any longer, Kiara's lips met mine. Those soft, pretty lips pressed against mine, making my heart go into overdrive and making me completely melt and lose my sanity.

Nothing could stop me from getting what I wanted now. And what I wanted was a real kiss. The kiss I'd been wanting to give her for a very long time.

I felt goosebumps form all across my skin as a warm feeling spread through my veins. I let out a loud moan, which was quite embarrassing, but I couldn't care less.

My arms wrapped around her completely, bringing her closer so our bodies touched. Her fingers desperately wrapped around my shirt and pulled me in.

Our lips danced together and molded against each other in the most perfect way imaginable. This girl was going to kill me one day.

She pulled back and looked up into my eyes as I opened my own to look down at her.

I fell victim to that perfect face again, those wide eyes luring me in, and I dove in for a second kiss. This kiss was much more heated, her fingers danced along my neck and chest and she kissed me back with more fire than I thought she had in her.

I had completely lost control, kissing her like I wanted to, giving her my everything in the kiss, pouring my feelings out to her.

Then I heard her moan again, and somehow that snapped me out of it.

I pulled back and looked down at her. She was staring up at me with wide eyes, her hands still holding onto my shirt and pulling it to her body.

"Vivi." She breathed out.

"I'll be back, Kiara. I promise I'll be back. I have to go now, though." I said to her, getting up and throwing a sweater on, taking my keys with me.

"Wh-where are you going?" She asked me.

"Somewhere important." I said, closing the bedroom door behind me and leaving her there.

Leaving her there was a bad choice, I knew she would be upset about it. But I needed to lose the title of her caregiver. I could be that anymore, because I was just about ready to break every rule a caregiver had to follow.

I ran to Nana Lucie and started asking her if she could be Kiara's caregiver. Nana was shocked to say the least but she told me that she couldn't be because she was too old for it now. And I sighed, rubbing my forehead. I needed a caregiver for Kiara immediately. And it had to be someone in the family.

"Gabriel is a goo-" Nana started.

"Gabriel! Gabriel!" I yelled, going to my uncle's room and waking the already sleeping man from his slumber.

He had work the next day, but I couldn't care less right now. Off we were, the both of us, to run around the city and fix this situation.

But my poor Kiwi was alone in our bedroom, probably wondering what on earth was wrong. I should've explained things to her before I left. But for now I had one goal and one goal only. I'd explain everything to Kiara later and give her as many kisses as her heart desired.
