"Does it hurt to be here you know, since what happened before?"
Matt looked at her. Of course she meant Sora. Who else could she mean? He and Sora had gone out 2 years previously. When he thought about it that was probably the last time he'd seen Mimi. "Truthfully Mimi... No. Look at them." He said gesturing to where Sora and Tai stood laughing. "How could I hurt when I see her that happy, them that happy. Sure I loved her, I still do but I realised that the love I felt was just friendship, I think it was the same for her too. We just wanted something you know and thought the other could provide it, I guess we were wrong."
Mimi smiled at him. "Well I'm glad you're OK, last time I saw you was just after Tai and Sora had got together, you seemed a little distant."
"Ha. I think me and you have always felt like that to each other don't you?"
"Don't make me think Matt!!" She wined playfully, swatting his arm and flashing him the most winning smile.
"OK, how about I go get us some drinks?"
"When I said dance, I meant just that, dance. No drinks, from now on I owe you nothing."
Matt leaned in and whispered in her ear, "well I've changed my mind." and walked off to the bar.
Mimi sighed contentedly then a sudden thought hit her and she whipped around. "But Matt!!..." he had gone, "how do you know what drink I want?" she mumbled to herself.
She walked over to an empty table and sat down. So Matt Ishida, the handsome policeman, spending time with her. They were friends, had been since they first travelled to the Digital-world but they'd never been what you could term as close. When Mimi moved to America they chatted on the phone a couple of times and had kept in touch but they had never had any private jokes, any connection beyond saving the world. That's a pretty big connection Mimi thought. He was undeniably good-looking, stunning in fact. 6'2", a strong body which she hadn't realised was so taught till their dance. Wonderful blonde hair which had always looked so perfect and his best feature, his ocean blue eyes Mimi always wanted to fall into every time she looked at them.
At that moment Matt returned from the bar with their drinks. He smiled and nodded at several people along the way but saved his most charming smile for Mimi, the smile that Mimi suddenly realised could make her melt.
"There you go," he said handing her, her drink. "hope its up to scratch."
"What is it?" she enquired, eyeing the red drink before her.
"Vodka cranberry juice."
"Wha, how could you possibly know that's what I was drinking?" she asked amazed.
"Simple. I'm psychic."
"Really?" she asked flabbergasted, then realising her stupidity smacked her hand against her forehead. "Just ignore that last comment." she whimpered.
Matt was just laughing uncontrollably. "Why would I? That's one of the things I've always liked about you, you're ability to make people laugh without realising it. And between you and me I just asked the bartender what the hot bridesmaid was drinking. He said that."
Mimi blushed at his last statement. The thing that she liked most about Matt she decided, was his charming personality and his protective nature. Boy, he really was a good catch.
"So Mimi, what's it like being a world renowned fashion designer?" (AN, why they made Sora a fashion designer and not Mimi I'll never know!!)
"Oh you know, just about as fun as being a policeman I imagine." She said flirtatiously. And he ginned, obviously enjoying himself. Tonight really was going to be a fantastic night.
Sorry its a short chapter and seems like a filler, I just had to get the Sora aspect in, and Mimi's reaction towards Matt.
Thanks for reading!! Please let me know what you think:)
