Chapter Two.

Dear Journal,
I'm pretty much enjoying it here, they treat me well. It's finally the weekend which means everyone's staying home. The only thing that kind of bugs me is how Mimi stares at me every time I walk in the room. As for Melanie, me and her are good. She's a really nice girl. Sora and I barely talk since she has work at night and she's snoozing away in the morning and doing work in the afternoon. Anyways, I'll write in you some other time, good day.

Taichi.

After writing in my journal I took the time to put on some shorts, and a white beater on and ran down the stairs checking if there was any food on the counter. Surprisingly there was, I was actually surprise that the girls woke up before I did, I grabbed a plate and began picking food. I noticed when I sat down at the table, Sora wasn't here.

"Hey, where's Sora?"

"She has work, today." They both explained as I groaned.

'Workaholic much.' As I started eating I heard foot steps creeping closer to the kitchen. It was Sora. She grabbed herself a bagel and ran towards the door, "Sorry guys, be home before dinner."

When we all finished breakfast, Melanie started cleaning, and Mimi told us we had a guest coming over today for a while.

"Hey you know Matt's coming over today." Mimi mentioned. Melanie dropped a plate and froze in hesitation, she looked back at us two and spoke.

"What the fuck. I told you he can come when I'm not here. I don't want to see him."

"Who's Matt?" I asked, scratching the top of my head from confusion.

"A friend of ours, well of Sora and I, I don't know about Melanie. He's like one of the biggest rock stars here, and such a ladies man." She explained, while Melanie cleaned up and started walking towards her room possibly.

-Sora's Views-

I didn't actually go to work, I started meeting up with Yolei to help Tai with finding a starting job for a while. So we began walking to downtown to see if any stores needed more employees.

"Sora, you're so nice. Helping your so called "friend"." She teased as I started glaring at her.

"Well, he is my friend. He can't do this alone just yet, plus I wanted him to meet Matt."

Her jaw dropped, "Matt? Really, I don't think that's a good idea."

"Why?" I asked, raising a brow. As we walked towards a clothing store she explained, "Well, I don't know. I just don't think they'll be friendly towards each other. I mean, he does like you and knowing that Tai's living in the same roof as you, wouldn't he flip out?"

I actually never thought about it, I didn't get to speak with Matt at all until this morning when he said he was going to visit. They are pretty different too, but I think things will work out later on.

-Tai's Views-

After watching a little of TV in my room, I decided to talk to Melanie and see her point of view about Matt. I walked towards her room and knocked lightly.

"Come in." Was her response, and clearly I did and jumped on her bed, "Why so grumpy, Mel?"

She looked up at me and glared at me, she always glares at me every day at one point. Typical "Fuck you Tai leave me alone, you're making me grumpy."

"You're a liar." I stated, "If you don't tell me I swear to my mom I will butt hump you."

"That's disgusting."

"You know you'd lik-" Before I could finish she punched me in the stomach, got up, and started walking outside carrying her bag.

"I'm going to go to the store." As she started walking, I began following her. She stopped and looked even more mad, "Tai, I am not afraid to hurt you."

"Go ahead, like I care."

She groaned and started opening the door, "You know sometimes you can be such a- Aw shit."

I looked and I saw a tall blonde, not too muscular but pretty average guy. With sapphire eyes.

"Melanie Carisho, pleased to see you." He grinned as he tried giving her a hug.

She pushed him aside and began walking out the door and into her car but the yelled, "Kiss, my, ass, Ishida!"

"I heard Ishida, Matty you're here!" Mimi explained, hugging him as he hugged her back.

He walked in and sat on the couch, "So Meems, this guy you're boyfriend?" She blushed but shook her head, "No, he's our roommate."

I decided not to make eye contact with him since I could feel his anger from across the living room. Since I did glance at him when Mimi said the word, roommate, I can tell he was trying not to tackle me right now.

-Matt's Views-

'Roommate, let's see. Tai plus Sora, no that can't happen. That can't happen at all.' I decided to play it cool for a while, see if he's friendly and not those weird perverts. I walked up to him and held out my hand, "Name's Yamato, but you can call me Matt."

He shook my hand back and introduced himself, "Taichi Kamiya, but you can call me Tai."

"Well, you two go ahead and chit chat, I'll be in my room if you need me." Mimi said, walking towards the stairs.

"So Tai, how'd you meet Sora?"

"We're long childhood friends actually, I saw her back at a Sushi restaurant, we began talking and all that."

I admit it, he's pretty okay. I really didn't like the fact that he was the only guy in the house, but he seems not interested in Sora. If he's not Mimi, and he's friends with Melanie that means one thing.

"If you're living here, you must be like they're gay best friend I suppose?" I asked.

He choked on his soda, "What? Just because I live with the girls you think I'm gay? I can hook up with them in a snap for your information!"

"Well then, I was just asking! No need to snap back big hair!"

"At least I don't waste my precious time on my hair, I bet you do!"

I rolled my fingers into a fists and yelled, "Shut up brunette!"

"You first blondie!"

-Melanie's Views-

(When she left)

I decided since I didn't want to go home until Matt left I wanted to drop by Sora's work and ask her if she can eat lunch with me. I walked into the restaurant, walking towards the cashier.

"Hi, is Sora busy?"

She raised a brow at me, "She's actually not working today. She went to downtown, she dropped by earlier though."

I slap my head lightly and started running out the door, "Thank you Miss!"

I started the car fast, and drove to downtown. While I was driving to the parking lot I saw a orange hair woman, wearing the exact same clothes as Sora. Dark skinny jeans, a red shirt and a black blazer with heels.

"Hey you!" She stared back at me, "You! Yeah you! What the hell! You said you were at work!"

"I dropped by, but then- Go get parking first actually!"

I shook my head and heard honking and yelling from the behind, "Oh boo you whores! Wait. Geez!"

After I got parking which took a while, I ran to the store that Sora was in front of. I gasped for breath, "Care, to, explain?"

She gave me a drink. As I chugged that mango drink she began explaining, "I'm trying to help Tai, job searching. I'm with Yolei by the way."

I looked up at her and smiled, "I haven't seen her in a while. Why didn't you just tell us that? Tai looked pretty, upset about you-" I made those quotation marks with my fingers and said, "working."

She frowned, "Well I wanted it to be a surprise thing. Plus if Mimi found out about me going out she'll beg to come along."

A voice popped out, "That's true, she loves going out, hi Mels."

I smiled and walked up to Yolie, "Hi Yols, been a while. How's life?"

"Pretty good, I think I know why you're here."

I looked the other way and crossed my arms, "I hate seeing him."

-Tai's Views-

"Geez you two, will you shut up! Seriously, what's up with you two." Mimi shouted sitting in the middle of us.

"He started it!"

"Excuse me? You're the one who thought I was gay! You should have watched what you said."

She sighed, "Matt, I'd kick him out and make him move in with you if he's gay. Is it because of-"

He tackled her and covered her mouth, while she kept pulling his hair and then the door suddenly flew opened. It was Melanie and Sora, with bags, so I decided to help them. They starred at the other two that were on the floor, practically giving them the wrong idea.

"Ehem." They're faces grew red and Mimi pushed Matt off of her and stood up immediately brushing herself and explained, "He just didn't want me to finish what I wanted to say."

"Uh, okay? We're back anyways. Hi Matt." Sora said as he smiled softly, "Hi Sor. How are you?"

'This guy is such a kiss ass.' "I'm doing great since I have my childhood friend here." I blushed lightly knowing she was talking about me.

"That's good." 'Oh boo hoo, stop lying. You know you're jealous.' I smirked at the thought about it, until I heard another voice from the kitchen, "Tai! You mind helping me please?"

"Sure be there, talk to you guys later." I walked to the kitchen to help Melanie with the groceries.

-Sora's Views-

"So, Sor, you're taken now?"

"M-me? No! O-of course not, he's j-just a friend." I stuttered out as he laughed.

"I was just asking. So when are you free?"

"I'm free next weekend, why?"

He grinned, "Care to come with me for some dinner then?"

A date? Or as friends? Endless thoughts ran through my head. I didn't consider Matt as anything of a boyfriend or something. Since his reputation is a big rock star, and a ladies man. "I'd love to, just tell me the time in advance."

-Tai's Views-

A fter helping Melanie with the stuff I sat down out the backyard as the sun glimmered brightly. I waited for a while for Melanie to come back and she did, with a huge umbrella and two bottles of beer.

"I only brung this because you're too tan already and I don't want you to burn up." She said placing it on the ground, making great shade around me as I smiled.

"Well who knew you drink."

"I drink plenty." She smirked as we opened it up at the same time, causing a pop sound.

"You know, I know why you hate Matt."

She scoffed, "What's your reason?"

"He seems like those two face guys, it's like, those dream guys but then they'll say anything to get in your pants."

She laughed at my reason, "You're just like him, except you don't say, you'll do."

I've noticed how Melanie, she barely looked at him in the eyes. Or when I mentioned him, she doesn't look at me eye to eye like we normally talk. I sat up, "What's your reason?"

"Let's say I had to sacrifice for him. He's a good guy, but I don't plan to be friends with him."

'Sacrifice?' He must done some big damaged between them, I frowned lightly and sat besides her putting my arm around her, "Hey you know what? You have me. I'm twice as better than him. I'm like a ho-ho, and he's a twinkie."

She laughed, "I don't like either of them. But nice try."

"Hey you two! Sora's calling you guys!" Mimi yelled and we nodded, running back in the house.

-Sora's Views-

After Matt left I decided to ask Tai what kind of job he would like, I didn't get that much applications as I thought, but there's bound to be something he'll enjoy. I placed all the applications on the desk as he looked at me with a question looked on his face.

"See, I didn't go to work. I tried looking for stores that you can work for a while." He smiled as he looked around the papers as the other two girls came in the living room.

"Wow, Sora, thank you. One thing, most of them are clothing stores, I'm not good at fashion you know. I'm more of a orginizer or office worker."

I sighed, "Sorry Tai. It's all I could find."

He laid his hand on his shoulder as I looked up at him, he smiled. "It's fine, I'll just try and work at one for n-"

"You said office Tai? My uncle he has his own company thing, he'll be glad to give you a job!" Mimi mentioned.

"Really? For me? Thanks Meems, you're great. But Sora, you're great too. Thanks so much."

'Oh she's just so damn cool.' I bit my lip and went upstairs into my room.

-Mimi's Views-

After dinner I called my uncle to try and give Tai a job. Least I can do for him, and besides maybe I can get a exchange for it too.

"Hello?"

"Hi Uncle."

"Ah Mimi, hello. How've you been?"

"Good. Anyways, you think you can help a friend of mine. He's in a need of a job."

"Well I fired someone a few days ago, mind if he comes tomorrow. Interview thing."

I smiled to myself, "I'll let him know. Thank you so much."

"Anytime hun, by the way, at 8 in the morning."

I hung up right after and ran into his room and jumped on his bed, "Tai, Tai, you have a interview tomorrow. At 8. I'll drop you off tomorrow so you know where to place is."

"Okay. Thanks. Meems. Can, y-you, stop, jumping, now." He muttered out as I stopped and walked towards the door until he interupted me, "Hey. Wanna go out next week? Since you helped me."

I looked at him and smiled, "Sure." He smiled back as I kept walking out of his room, and ran into mines and started squealed in excitement.

-The Next Morning. :D- / -Tai's Views-

Alarm's ringing, sunlights peeking out my window, and birds chirping. Not a delight. I slammed my alarm button and got up slowly. Groaning and sighing to myself, I stretched waking every part of my body and got my towel and walked into the bathroom. As I was taking a shower I thought about how this interview would be, me getting interviewed by Mimi's uncle is pretty scary. It is just a job, and so I'm willing to do anything for it. After my shower, I got cleaned up wearing a midnight blue suit, a white long sleeve and a black tie to go along with my dress shoes. I was walking downstairs to check if Mimi was there and she was eating a bagel as I grabbed one myself.

"You excited?"

"More like nervous. Is he going to pin me down since I live with you?"

She giggled, "Nope. He doesn't know. The interview won't be that long anyways, just a couple of simple questions and then you're done."

I sighed in relief, for now and saw Melanie up yawning and cruised around the kitchen, "Morning you two. Tai looking good, good luck today."

I smiled, "Thanks Mel. Anyways, be right back ladies, going to put some final touches and I'll be done." They nodded as I stood up and walked back to my room.

-Melanie's Views-

After Tai left the kitchen, I sat next to Mimi and asked her about what happened last night.

"Did you get raped or something last night? You were loud as hell."

She blushed and laughed nervously, "No! Only because Tai asked me on a date next week."

I coughed loudly and looked at her, "You serious?"

She nodded and replied, "No big deal Mel, it's not like Sora's going to be mad or anything about it."

'We'll see about that.' I nodded and then Tai yelled, "Let's go!" Mimi grabbed her purse and walked out the door with him. After the door closed I screamed, "Tachikawa you're fucking screwed!" I covered my mouth and whisped to myself, "Let's hope she didn't hear that."

-Tai's Views-

After driving a couple of minutes to downtown we reached her uncle's company. We walked in and walked towards the desk, "Hello Ms. Tachikawa, and Mr. ?"

"Kamiya. Here for the interview."

She smiled, "Just go right in sir." I nodded and waved back at Mimi and I went right in. I saw a man sitting on his seat, pretty well dressed and his hair was brown like Mimi's but it was gel'd on one side.

"Hello Mr. Kamiya, please sit." I did what he said, and he gave me a big grin.

"You know what. I can already tell you're one good looking employee. Since you're my neices friend, no need for a interview. Just tell me about yourself."

My jaw dropped, "Really? But that wouldn't be fair."

"Son, please. It's fine. But one mistake, and trust me, you're screwed."

I nodded and laughed nervously, and I began telling him many things about myself.

-Sora's Views-

I overslept and I walked to the kitchen where Melanie's been sitting, "Morning late one. Cooked you something."

I grinned and grabbed a plate, and began picking my food, "Thanks Mel. I hope Tai gets the job."

"Hope? We know he's going to get it. Mimi's uncle's too nice to her friends, remember? He'd let Tai off the hook in a minute."

I laughed and began eating, and Melanie added, "So what'd you and Matt talk about while everyone was somewhere else."

"We talked about stuff. He asked me to dinner. I said yes."

Her eyes widen, "Oh wow. He's still smooth."

"I guess, next week I'll be busy."

"You're not the only one."

I looked at her and raised a brow, 'only one.' "You're going somewhere too, Mel?"

She shook her head, "Mimi and Tai are going out next weekend too."

I dropped my spoon, and thought about it. 'Them two, next week. Seriously, I bet it's only cause Mimi got him the job he wanted.' "That's good."

"You're so fucking jealous, Sor." She commented as I turned red and put my plate in the sink, "Am not!"

"Really? Then why'd you say 'It's only cause Mimi got him the job he wanted.'"

"Because it's true."

She shook her head, and walked out, "Sor, you're a bad, bad, bad liar."

-Tai's Views-

"Told you! I'd told you, you'd get the job!" Mimi exclaimed.

"He let me off the hook, he just wanted to get to know me that's all." I explained.

"Still, I didn't believe he'd do that. He must really like you or something." I shrugged my shoulders and parked in front of the house and got out. Mimi began unlocking the door until I busted it open.

"What the hell! You guys don't know how to open a door or something?" Melanie shouted causing her and Sora to look at me weirdly.

"I got the job."

They both smiled and began running towards me, hugging my tightly along with Mimi.

"Let's celebrate!" Melanie exclaimed running towards the kitchen, getting everyone a can of beer.

"Congrats to Tai Kamiya! For getting the job!" Mimi shouted as we all cheered and took a sip of beer.

"By the way, you'll be fine being alone here right Mel?" Sora asked as she nodded back and I was curious, alone. I knew that I was taking Mimi somewhere, but I didn't know Sora was going somewhere too.

"Got work Sora?" Mimi asked as she shook her head and responded, "I'm going to dinner with Matt."

I quietly tighten my can of beer and chugged the whole thing down. I finally get why he didn't want Mimi to finish her sentence the other day only because she was going to ask if it was about Sora. Explains why he tried pushing my buttons too. 'Tai, it's cool. He's just a jerk off and Sora's a best friend. Nothing more.'
