Preparing Everything for the Christmas Party

Mijail sat in the bed and waited for Kenneth to change.

While Kenneth was dressing, Mijail began to thought in his last action. He was going to touch again Kenneth's hair unconsciously! Mijail was alarmed and confused. He also thought that maybe Kenneth didn't like to be touched, especially men. However, Mijail also had no reason to caress his hair.

With all his thoughts in a mess, Mijail covered his face and flopped on the bed.

Suddenly, he began to smell something that was calming. He moved towards that smell and found something tender and soft. The smell came from it and Mijail covered his head with it. It was comfortable and Mijail began to feel sleepy. In the end, he fell asleep hugging and gripping that thing.

Kenneth finished dressing and came back where he left Mijail waiting, and found that the young man was sleeping grabbing with his hands his pillow like it was something Mijail cherished.

A warm smile appeared on Kenneth's lips. He silently approached Mijail and looked at his sleeping face. It was calm and relax. His white skin was a bit sunburned, giving him a strange charm that attracted Kenneth more. Mijail was defenseless at that moment and Kenneth could do him a lot of interesting and naughty things, however, he held himself remembering the reaction Mijail had when Aetos touched him without his consent.

Kenneth kept looking at Mijail for some seconds, then he got near and gave him a light and tender kiss on his lips. Kenneth was delighted when he found that Mijail's lips were soft. He was slightly sad because of the separation of their lips, but then he saw a smile in Mijail's. Kenneth smiled and left his room. He told a maid that Mijail was sleeping on his bed and not disturbed him until he wakes. The maid nodded and Kenneth went to look for Felicia.

Kenneth found Felicia in the kitchen with some cooks. They were preparing the menu for the party that it was going to be the next day. Felicia was in charge of the snacks and desserts. Suddenly, she looked at the kitchen's entrance and saw his brother's usual cold demeanor, but his eyes were showing some happiness. Felicia understood that something good might happened between her brother and Mijail, but she was confused because Mijail was a shy person with that kind of topic and actions. For a moment her eyes showed signs of fear, worry, and finally anger.

Kenneth noticed his sister's sudden change of emotions and tried to ask her what happened when he saw that Felicia dismissed the cooks and servants, leaving both of them alone in the kitchen.

"Felicia, what..." Kenneth began speaking, but Felicia slapped him.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MIJAIL?!" Felicia yelled at him. Fortunately, their father's office was in the other extreme of the house, opposite the kitchen, and their mother was playing outside with Dayana. So no one heard Felicia's shout.

Kenneth was momentarily lost with that slap: it was the first time his sister hit him. But then, he felt that something was amiss with the sudden topic she brought.

"Why do you ask?" Kenneth answered her with another question.

"Don't act like an ignorant, I know that you are in love with him. You are looking for an opportunity to tell him, but now you seem happy but Mijail is nowhere to see," Felicia answered sharply, her voice was giving her a superior air.

Kenneth was stunned when he heard that Felicia noticed his feelings, he knew that he was difficult to understand, even Dave had difficulties. After hearing his sister's words, she understood that she had misunderstood everything.

"I understand what you are getting at, let me explain," Kenneth took an apple and began to eat, "Mijail went to my room to talk about you know what, and I'll help, especially because that allows me to stop your marriage, but then I went to dress and Mijail waited for me in my bed. However, when I finished and returned, I found him sleeping in my bed while hugging my pillow. It is obvious that would make me excited, but I held myself and just give a light kiss on his lips," Kenneth knew that her sister would not pursue more the topic.

Felicia looked at him suspiciously, but he considered that her brother could hold himself when the situation requires him to.

"Ok, call the cooks and servants, we need to finish the menu and prepare the copies," Felicia continued with her work.

Kenneth gave her a long look and called everyone to return to their respective tasks.

After Mijail woke up, he found himself on Kenneth's bed and remembered that he just fell asleep without apologizing and giving him the thanks for taking care of him. Then he raised his hands to his lips and touched them, there was a lingering feeling that made him feel strange and confused. When he was trying to guess what happened, he heard someone yelled. It was a female voice. He got up and went to the source of the shout.

He arrived at the kitchen and found Kenneth and Felicia discussing something, and then stop. He saw the cooks and servants returning to the kitchen and Kenneth leaving with a half apple. Kenneth looked at him and simply said.

"Tomorrow is going to be a long day, better you finish what you need to and have a good rest. You seem to not being sleepy well because of your injury," Kenneth left to somewhere leaving again behind a confused Mijail.

Kenneth was just hoping that Mijail didn't hear his discussion with her sister and confession.

Everything related to the party continued smoothly. Kenneth was in charge of the guest list, adding a new name and checking that everyone confirmed their coming. Dayana helped her mother chose the decorations and put the Christmas tree with some maids. Gustav was checking the music and entertainment, and the gifts he would give to the children that were going to assist. Also, he prepared his family's presents.

Mijail helped Mrs. Gloria with the plants and decorations. He was a master with which plant represents what and how to accommodate them giving a fresh and serene atmosphere without bothering the guests. It was like creating a habitat for people to be comfortable. Gloria was expecting to put some pretty flowers, but Mijail told her that those flowers were a bit poisonous and smelly, they were better to be in a garden in an open space rather in a close one. Kenneth's mother understood and told the servants to hear what Mijail said.

Finally, the party started and the guests began to arrive one after another. Felicia was looking from time to time, waiting for a particular person to arrive.
