"Lust, Lies and Betrayal"
Chapter 4
Matt's p.o.v
I sat in my chair, guitar propped against my knee and was re-reading Sora's number for the hundredth time when my brother walked up and moaned. "Oh my God, just call her bro. You're never going to know if you don't try, besides either your brain has it memorized by now or the ink is going to give out soon" Takeru took a seat next to me and popped open a can of pop, taking a swig.
"I would, but our worlds don't mix and that night was a freak accident"
He rolled his eyes at me and replied "If you say so. But what time does the show start again?"
"8pm sharp and don't be late"
"I wont be, oh hey can Emma come too?"
"Yeah, she staying over?"
"Yeah"
"alright well, I'm going to head out,to help the guys set up for the show. Be safe, and on time kiddo."
"I will"
I grabbed my guitar and put it in its case,as I was walking out the door T.k yelled after me. "Call her!"
It was probably a good 3 hours later, almost 7:50pm. The place was actually getting packed, I was shocked, turn outs this good where becoming pretty rare. I heard T.k and Emma walk in. I smiled, T.k was holding her hand and she was smiling ear to ear. I was glad they had each other.
"What's up kiddies?" Emma's sweet voice chimed in. "Just came to wish you best of luck"
T.k laughed "Yeah, and to tell you not to fall on your face and make sure you get paid this time."
"I get the subtle hint T.k, now take Emma and go."
Moments later, I was standing in front of the microphone, lights dimmed and song list taped down by my feet. I took a few fast breaths and the curtains opened and we began to play.
"Hey everybody!" I slid my fingers across the chords on my guitar and began to sing along to the beat. The chorus filled my ears and the crowd cheered and sang along loudly
Natalie ‒ she ran away with all my money
And she did it for fun
Natalie ‒ she's probably out there thinking it's funny
Telling everyone
Well, I'm digging a ditch
For this gold-digging bitch
Watch out ‒ she's quick
Look out for a pretty little thing named
Natalie ‒ if you see her tell her I'm coming
She better run
I looked out into the crowed and my heart skipped a beat. There standing by the bar was Sora, and she was looking straight up at me.
Sora's P.O.V
Mimi and I walked further into the pub, the place was packed and some band was playing here tonight. I paid them no mind. I was on a mission. I walked up to the bar and ordered two shots. The bartender handed me our drinks and we took them instantly. I laughed to myself as the girl looked at my best friend Mimi with envy. Of course where I liked to keep it low profile, Mimi never did. Her hair was dark brown with bright pink highlights and in big bouncy curls, She whore a black form fitting dress, that showed a ton of cleavage, with 6 inch heels and super tan. Yeah, I guess she would make any girl envious cause she made it all look good and no where near tacky.
"Sora, how the hell did you end up here? And hooking up with a complete hottie?"
I was so busy looking around, I hardly heard her, but I managed a feeble reply "I dunno, I was drunk ok?"
"Damn, who ever is singing sounds amazing, and he's hot. Sora forget mystery boy and look at that one!"
I finally turned to glance up at the stage and couldn't believe who I saw. My heart started to race and a huge smile spread across my face. I leaned over as his chorus ended and the next verse began. "Mimi, that's him. That's Matt!"
"Sweet mother of God, no wonder you wanted to hunt his ass down"
Mimi and I ordered more drinks and worked our way closer to the stage. I couldn't help but smile the entire time. He made me get those butterflies in my stomach when he kept looking at me smiling.
Regardless of the amazing show, the night still seemed to drag on until I could talk to him again. As the crowd poured out, I made my way to him. He smiled and stretched out his hand to help me onto the stage.
"So, what do I owe a second visit from the governor's daughter?"
"An explanation for why you never called me"
Before he could answer I heard a younger voice speak up and answer. "I'll tell you why, his ass was to big a chicken, and you must be Sora. I'm T.k, the younger brother."
"Nice to meet you T.k" I turned and faced Matt again. "To chicken huh? Guess you'll have to make it up to me then, What are your plans the for the rest of the night?"
"Nothing, I'm free . Would you like to come over and have a drink with me?"
I blushed and then glanced at Mimi. Who was already to busy mingling with her boy toy Izzy or I guess I could say eating his face in public, She was sitting on the bar, holding onto him making out. I quickly turned back to Matt and spoke. "I would love too"
Before I knew it, we had left the pub and I was out of my clothes and into Matt's, cuddled with him on his bed drinking a bottle of wine that I purchased on the way back. I had my head propped against his chest and his arms where wrapped around me. We had been like that for a couple of hours now and I felt so relaxed.
"I'm really glad you showed up tonight beautiful."
I looked up into his cerulean blue eyes and smiled "Me too" He bent over and kissed my lips briefly
"So, why didn't you call me?"
"To be honest, I was scared, and I feel like I don't belong in your world. It's so different from mine."
"That's ridiculous, I would give anything to be considered normal like you Matt. That night I spent with you was amazing and I haven't felt this way with anyone, well ever."
"But why me? Don't you have everything with that brown haired guy always on the tabloids with you?"
I frowned. "You mean Tai? He's my best-friend and we are sort of forced in it together. Our fathers work together in the campaign. And you, because you understand me, your relaxed and I feel so comfortable with you."
Matt looked away for a moment and then back down at me. He took his hands and cupped my face. I just don't wanna hurt you. Your beautiful and you don't belong with someone like me"
I sat my glass of wine down and crawled upon him, a leg on each side and put my arms around his neck. "Then don't, let me fit into your world. Give us a chance then, please?"
He studied my eyes for a moment and let his smile that I had already grown to love spread across his face and answered me. "Is this your way of asking me out?"
"Yes, so what's your reply?"
"I guess when someone pitches a case that good, I'll have to say yes."
Butterflies spread throughout my entire body and then electricity shot threw me when he grabbed me and pulled me down onto his chest and kissed me. Somewhere in between stories of our childhood, a tickling match and a bottle of wine gone. We ended up sleeping together again. This time, I wasn't completely wasted and could remember every last bit of it, even down to falling asleep wrapped in his strong arms again.
Tai's P.O.V
I sat at the table drinking my coffee and reading over the paper. I had already showered and dressed for the press interview today. Sora had promised me she wouldn't be late, she was off to find someone last night. I just had this feeling after that hook up she had in the Bronx it couldn't end good. My thoughts where interrupted though as I heard Mimi's heels across the breakfast room floor.
"Good morning Tai. Mind if I join you?"
"Not at all, hey do you know who Sky I mean Sora stayed with last night?" I watched Mimi's face light up and a huge smile spread across her face. "Do I ever"
I looked at her with my eyebrows raised and the anticipation growing.
"But I don't think I should spill that can of beans. She'll tell you when she's ready, but I do happen to have this flyer." Mimi handed me the paper winking before hoping onto the counter and crossing her legs. I looked down at the flyer to see a tall blonde headed guy leaning against a wall with a logo above his head. "Matt Ishida and the teenage wolves" I rolled my eyes.
"You have got to be kidding me? This is even worse than that chick I hooked up with in Ohio!"
Mimi frowned at me before replying. "For your information Tai, I was the girl in Ohio, so get your facts straight and actually he's seems really nice. You should give him a chance."
"Oh Sorry, I meant Florida Mimi. And You've met him?"
"Man wore, but yes, last night." Mimi sipped her coffee and I felt something stir inside of me, I crinkled up the paper and tossed it in the waste bin. "Whatever, I give it a week"
"Jealousy isn't a good color for you" I stood from my chair and looked at Mimi. "I'm not jealous Mimi. Sora and I go way to far back for any thing to come in between our friendship like jealousy"
"Well if that's the case, then I guess you should have asked her awhile ago, cause she really likes him"
Before I could answer I heard Sora's familiar laugh and footsteps walking in through the side entrance. I turned just in time to see Sora walk into the room holding Matt's hand and smiling. I felt as though I had been hit in the face with a brick and anger seemed to rise in me. What the hell was wrong with me?
"Hey guys, Tai, I would like you to meet Matt."
Matt stepped forward and out stretched his hand towards me. "Hello, I'm Matt and you must be Tai"
I grabbed his hand and shook it. "That's me" I felt like time froze for a second and a silent battle was going on between us. Both our grips where firm and if it hadn't been for Sora's sweet smile I'm sure I would have broke his hand.
A:N The song Matt is singing is "Natalie" by Bruno Mars. I found it kind of fitting for him in this story. But Please review and let me know what you all think. :)
