Sincerity and Reliability
Mimi's POV
We've been walking for a long time now. Tai won't let us take a break because he says the sooner we reach the top of Infinity Mountain the sooner we'll be able to stop. Pretty soon we reached a cliff. It figures that that was the only way to get to the top.
Everyone started climbing one behind the other. Tai was first of course, then it went T.K., Matt, Sora, Izzy, Joe, and I was last. From where I was I could partially see Joe's face. His dark blue hair shaded his blue eyes. Something about his eyes just took my breath away.
Anyway, soon we began to reach the top of the cliff. Not being a big nature girl I was still climbing when the others had already reached the top. I could hear Joe's voice guiding me. Almost a minute later everything began to happen quickly. I could hear everyone screaming my name. The main thing I heard was Joe coaxing me to grab his hand. I hesitated for a moment but then reached out my hand and grabbed his.
I looked up at him and could see his worried expression. When I saw passed him I knew why he was so worried.
Joe's POV
I looked down at Mimi and could see the fear in her eyes. I tried to pull her up but I was too weak. " I can't give up, I have to save her," I thought. Then I gathered up all of the strength I could get and pulled Mimi up right before the rockslide.
My worries were washed away as I felt her body next to mine. I loved her so much but just don't have the guts to tell her. I've felt that way for a long time but just moments ago made me think. I may not have forever to tell her how I feel so maybe I should tell her now.
Suddenly I snapped out of my daze. " Mimi, are you okay?" I asked her. All I got in reply was a slight nod. Everyone including me could tell she was crying. For this reason I didn't move or pull away, I just let her cry against me.
A few minutes later she wiped her eyes and stood up. " Well, lets get going," she said. Not wanting to say anything we all just nodded and started walking.
Mimi's POV
" I feel like a total loser," I thought. After the incident, I kind of lagged behind everyone else. Palmon wanted to stay right beside me but I told her I needed time to think.
Then I turned my attentions towards the boy in front of me, Joe. He saved my life even though he could have gotten caught in the slide. His voice was so soothing then. Now he probably thinks I'm a total loser.
When I looked up I noticed that we stopped. Then I could hear Tai's voice. " It's getting dark so we should camp here tonight." Everyone nodded and sat down to talk. I, on the other hand didn't feel like talking so I sat down away from the others.
Palmon stayed with me and this time I didn't mind. " Mimi, is something bothering you?" she asked. Although I hesitated for a minute I ended up telling her what was on my mind. " Well, lately I've had certain feelings for someone, mainly Joe," I whispered. " I just love everything about him, I love him."
Palmon gave me a look of surprise. I only smiled and slightly laughed. Soon after, everyone got ready for bed. They said their goodnights and went to sleep.
Joe's POV
I waited until everyone was sleeping and then carefully got up and looked around. I remember there being a lake nearby so quietly, I headed in the direction it was in. Soon the lake came into view. I sat near the edge of the water and started to think about Mimi.
" Maybe I should tell her how I feel," I thought. " But what if she laughs at me. I don't think I'd be able to take it if she did that." I sighed and then just sat there looking out at the water.
A few minutes later I was startled when I heard someone's voice. " Are you okay Joe?" it asked.
When I turned around I saw Mimi standing a few feet in front of me. " Ya...I'm fine," I replied. Mimi smiled and stood next to me. I could see her face clearly. Her chestnut hair fell on each side of her face. It matched perfectly with her beautiful brown eyes.
" You know, I never got a chance to thank you for saving me," she said looking at me.
I looked at her and smiled. " It was no problem. I mean you're my friend and I'd never let anything happen to you that I could prevent." It was then that I realized she was blushing and she quickly looked away.
I placed my hand on her shoulder. " Please turn around," I said. As she did I smiled just as she did. " There's something I have to tell you before another word is said. I've wanted to say this for a long time but was too afraid until now. Mimi, I...I love you."
She smiled at me and hugged me. " I love you too Joe. I've wanted to tell you for so long."
I placed my finger on her lips. Then I leaned down and kissed her. All of my feelings came rushing into my head as we kissed. I loved her, simply loved her.
Mimi's POV
I couldn't believe this was happening. When we kissed I felt so calm inside. Everything was absolutely perfect. When we parted again I simply smiled. Nothing could ruin this moment. " I love you." That was all I said.
Suddenly I remembered how late it was. Part of me wanted to go to sleep but I decided against that. All that mattered was that we were together.
" You look tired. We should head back to camp," Joe said. I told him I was fine but I guess he knew better. He took my hand and we walked back towards the campsite.
