Je Vous Aime

Je Vous Aime

By Kristine

Part Four:

Je t'aime? I like Je vous aime better. ^_~

A/N: I'm really sorry! I know I told you guys that this part would be out soon, but I got this killer headache, and couldn't write a single thing! And right in the middle of the story, I got stuck! Don't worry! This is a Mimato fanfic!! There will be a sequel following this fic. Also, I will stick to Matt's Dodge Neon until the sequel is out… Matt will get a new car in the sequel. I'm sorry to everyone who emailed me saying that Matt should have a Ford Probe, or a Viper, or a BMW! I'm sorry! I got a little confused now. So that's it. Matt's car is a Neon. Anyway, this part is pretty stupid… I seriously just forced myself to finish this part b/c I'm stuck. Here's a product of my writer's block…

A/N #2: This story didn't quite turn out the way I wanted to. Actually, this always happens to me since I don't do outlines. (And well… I'm stuck too & still am). I always write the story as I go along. And everything you are gonna be reading weren't exactly what was supposed to happen… but whatever! It's done, so that's what matters!

~ Tai's Point of View ~

"Tai, is my daughter there?" I heard Mr. Tachikawa asked from the other end.

I looked over to Sora and gave her a look. "I'm sorry. But she's not here."

"Is Mr. Ishida there?!"

"If you mean Matt he's-"

"Yes! Matt was supposed to take Mimi back an hour ago! Where did he take her?!"

"Uh..." I scratched my head and looked over to Sora again. "Mr. Tachikawa, I... I'll try to get a hold of them okay?"

"Is something wrong?" Sora asked in concern as I hung up the phone. I avoided her gaze and stared out the window. Damn, where the heck is Matt? And Mimi? "Tai? What is it?" Sora asked again.

I looked at her and forced a smile. "It's okay... I... Well, actually..."

"That was Mimi's Dad, wasn't it?" she asked me. She moved a little closer to me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, didn't Mimi say she wanted to go to Pierre's party?" Sora said.

I quickly turned to her. "Then we gotta get there!"

She turned away, blinking as she eyed the television. I didn't want to leave the movie, but…

"Come on, Tai. Let's hurry!" Sora said quickly, running to the door.


~ Omniscient Point of View ~ (As you may have noticed by now, I can't write right in first person. ^_^ It's easier for me write in omniscient.)

Matt Ishida avoided the look on Bianca's face as he slowly approached the living room where a bunch of people where playing the Playstation. He examined the people, but their eyes were glued to the TV, and their hands were busy pressing the buttons on the controller. Sighing, he sat on an empty couch and watched the game. He realized that they were playing Tekken Tag Tournament.

Duo came up to him. "Hey! You guys are playing Tekken Tag! I wanna play too!"

Aiko ran up to Duo and gave him a punch on the back. "Hey! How can you leave me like that on the dance floor?!"

Then Nick followed behind him. "I know! Let's play Final Fantasy VIII!"

Matt rolled his eyes. "Come on. We all know FFVII's better than VIII."

Duo gave Matt a dirty look. "Just because Cloud looks like you doesn't mean that VII's better!"

Matt rose to his feet. "Forget it. I gotta find Mimi…"

"Did you say Mimi?"

Matt blinked and he noticed Bianca standing in front of him. She gave him a smile. "She's with Pierre out on the patio!"

"The patio, huh? Which way?"

Bianca grabbed Matt's hand and led him away from the living room. "I'll take you there myself!"

"Just what are they doing there anyway?" Matt asked.

"I wanna find out too," Bianca replied.

Bianca opened up the sliding door and pulled Matt outside. "There they are!" she pointed to a couple sitting together on the other side.

Matt stepped forward. "All right Mimi. Your minute is—" He stopped and stood frozen as he stared at them. It was Mimi and Pierre all right. They have their arms around each other and they were busy kissing! Matt watched them in envy. He noticed Pierre's hand slowly going under Mimi's shirt.

Mimi opened her eyes and scowled at Pierre. "Pierre! What are you doing?!"

"Mimi!" Matt called.

Mimi suddenly pulled away from Pierre and looked at Matt in shocked. Her eyes widened. "M-Matt?" she slowly stood up. She could feel her face turning red. She wished that the ground would swallow her up. How much have Matt seen? Mimi could just die right now. And the look on Matt's face didn't make her feel any better either.

Matt turned around. "Let's go." He said firmly and he disappeared. Mimi couldn't help but noticed that there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

"Matt, wait—"

"What's wrong?" Pierre asked as he put a hand on her shoulder, but Mimi shrugged his hand off.

"Don't touch me you pervert!" she yelled at him. "Matt! Don't leave without me!" Mimi quickly ran to follow Matt.

Bianca glared at Pierre. Then she looked away. She was about to leave when Pierre stopped her.

"Honey, why did you do that for?" Pierre asked.

Bianca shook her head. "You're lucky I didn't tell them that I'm engaged to you!"

"You're jealous, are you?" Pierre said. "I thought we agreed we could see other people."

"Exactly so why should I be jealous?" she retorted.

Pierre chuckled. "You shouldn't be… I know you could've done better…"

He pulled Bianca into his arms and they kissed.


~ Omniscient Point of View ~

"Matt! Where are you? Where did you go?!" Mimi called out over to the loud music. She pushed herself into the crowded dance floor, just trying to find Matt.

"Matt! Matt!" Mimi yelled. Oh no. Now he's mad at me… What am I supposed to do?

Mimi sighed when she finally reached the door. If Matt wasn't here, then he should be outside. She was about to open the door when she felt somebody pulling her. How could Matt do this now at a time like this?

"Let go!" she screamed. She grabbed hold of the person's hand and turned around, squeezing the hand tightly.

"Ow!" Aiko screamed. Mimi gasped in surprised and quickly released Aiko's hand. Aiko glared at Mimi. "Hey! What did you do that for?!"

Mimi gave her an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Aiko. I thought you were someone else…"

"That hurts!" Aiko complained. Then she stopped as she noticed Mimi's expression. "Where are you going? You're leaving already?"

She nodded. "I gotta go! I'm sorry about your hand. But Matt… is… never mind! I gotta catch up to him!"

Mimi quickly opened the door and ran outside before Aiko could say something. Mimi quickly ran outside. Suddenly stopping, she blinked when she found Tai, Matt, and Sora.

"How can you have been so irresponsible, Matt?! Mimi's Dad was so worried!" Tai yelled.

Mimi slowly came up to them, but the three didn't seem to have noticed.

"Leave me alone, Tai. You don't even understand…" Matt calmly answered.

"Next time, I'll give her a ride myself…" Tai considered.

"Um…" Mimi stepped forward reluctantly. Tai and Matt both turned to her in shock. "I… I'm…"

"Forget it, Mimi. I'll take you home." Matt cut her off.

"Mimi, are you okay?" Sora asked.

She managed a weak smile at her friend and looked away.

"Come on, Mimi. Let's get outta here," Matt said.

She nodded. "Okay…"

Mimi reluctantly followed Matt and got into his car. Tai and Sora remained standing outside as they watched the two leaving. Sora sighed. "Poor Mimi…" she whispered.

"Yeah, I wonder what happened," Tai said. "Mimi seems out of it tonight."

"She's not the only one. Don't you think Matt is hiding something?" Sora answered.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not sure," she replied.

"Oh come on, Sora. Don't be so suspicious." Tai told her.

"I'm not, okay? I'm just worried about him and Mimi…"

"Hey Tai!" somebody called out.

Tai and Sora both turned to look. Duo and Aiko both stood by the door. The two came up to them.

"Yo Kamiya! What are you doing here?!" Duo asked.

Tai put his arm over his chest. "Just came here to get Matt and Mimi. Why?"

"Oh Tai! We didn't know you were coming!" Aiko exclaimed. Sora rolled her eyes.

"Uh, we're not staying here…" Sora explained.

Aiko ignored her. "Well, since you're here, why don't we get inside?"

"Yeah! Pierre's got your favorite!" Duo added.

"Really?" Tai replied, massaging his empty stomach. Sora glared at him but he didn't seem to notice.

"Tai." Sora said.

"Awesome! Then we'll stay!" Tai concluded.

Sora sighed, shaking her head. She knew better than to talk to Tai when he was like this. She then followed Tai reluctantly inside Pierre's mansion.


~ Omniscient Point of View ~

Matt thought about what he saw that happened between Mimi and Pierre earlier at the patio. He tightly held onto the steering wheel and concentrated on the road. It was already dark. He could feel Mimi giving him this one-second glance every five minutes. And Matt would reply but looking back to her with a small smile on his face. But he could tell that she was unhappy. Mimi adjusted her green skirt and stared out the window.

Matt sighed and stopped at an intersection. Then he turned to Mimi, who was busy gazing out the window.

"Mimi…"

"Yeah, go ahead and yell at me. I deserve it." Mimi interrupted.

Matt was surprised at what she said and turned his attention back to the road and continued driving. "Look… I wanna say something…" he blushed in embarrassment but he continued. "I… I wanna… apo—"

"No, I'm sorry, Matt! It was my fault!" she cut him off as tears streamed down her cheeks. "I should've listened to you… I'm… I'm sorry!"

He didn't reply and he stopped the car in front of the Tachikawa residence. "Well… we're here…"

Mimi wiped her tears away and reached for the door, but then she stopped and looked at Matt. "Daddy's gonna get… mad at me…"

Matt turned off the engine and faced her. "Want me to walk you to the door?" he offered.

Mimi gave him a pleading gaze. She nodded her head silently thanking him that he asked. He smiled. "Don't cry. I'm here… come on, let's go."

They both got out of the car and slowly walked toward the entrance. Mimi fumbled through her purse to find her house keys.

"Mimi…" Matt took a deep breath nervously. He really didn't want to ask but he couldn't help it. "A-about you and this Pierre guy… I mean… uh… do you… do you like him?"

Mimi suddenly stopped and stared at Matt. How could he ask me that after what that jackass Pierre had done to me? After what he did to me! She looked away from him and stared at the door with a blank look in her face.

"Why? Should I like him?" she asked.

"I didn't say that…" Matt replied.

Mimi took out her house keys and stepped toward the door. Matt sighed and looked up the sky. He thought about what happened at the party again.

"Was he a good kisser, Mimi?" Matt suddenly asked.

She quickly turned around and gave Matt a look. "What?!" she exclaimed.

He blinked. "What? Did I say something?" he studied her expression and could feel his face turning bright red.

"Hmph. And you think you are?!" Mimi challenged.

"What do you mean?" Matt responded. Then he smiled and put his hands into his pockets. "Of course I'm better than that Pierre guy."

Why the nerve of this Ishida! Mimi thought silently.

"I'm way better than him…"

"Okay, then I dare you to kiss me!" Mimi exclaimed.

Matt took a step backward and looked at Mimi as if she was crazy. "Wha--! Y-you want me to… Wha--?" he stuttered.

"What's wrong, Matt? Are you scared?"

"N-no! I-it's just that… uh… I-I mean…"

Mimi giggled and turned her attention back to the door. "Well, if you don't want to, then it's okay. I should've known you'd turn out to be such a chicken!"

"Chicken?! Who are you callin' chicken?!" Matt exclaimed. Now she's done it! Matt thought.

She giggled. "Forget about it, Matt. As if you'd wanna touch the lips of a ditz anyway!" She opened the door slightly.

"Hey wait!" he called out.

Mimi stopped and looked at him. "Now what?"

"Uh… n-nothing…" his voice trailed off.

Mimi smiled at him. He blinked. That smile on her face was heaven. Matt studied her beautiful angelic features. Mimi stepped away from the door and slowly walked toward his direction. If Matt doesn't wanna do it, then I'll do it myself! Mimi thought to herself. Matt didn't move and let Mimi moved closer to him. I wonder what she's doing now… he thought to himself.

She slowly wrapped her arms around his waist. Matt held his breath. He closed his eyes and leaned forward…

"Mimi!"

The door opened wide and Mrs. Tachikawa stood there and turned on the lights. Mimi and Matt quickly pulled away from each other and looked at Mimi's Mom with shocked look on their faces.

"M-mommy!" Mimi cried in surprised. She giggled and she could have sworn she could feel herself sweat dropping. "Uh, sorry, I'm late!"

"Get inside! It's late!" her Mom ordered.

"Good evening, Mrs. Tachi—"

"Y-yes Mom!" Mimi interrupted, quickly stepping inside the house. She glanced quickly at Matt. "Goodnight Matt."

"Good—"

Mrs. Tachikawa slammed the door right into Matt's face. He blinked in surprised and just stood there and looked up the window to Mimi's room. "Goodnight, Mimi…"
