Chapter 3: The One Forgotten
Two weeks after asking Mimi to move in with him, she's actually there but with no luggage, just her. It made the move easier on Matt, for sure. Here they are together in Matt's home.
He placed his keys inside a bowl hearing the clash and glanced at Mimi standing at the doorframe timid. "This is where you live now so you shouldn't be scared."
She took a few steps inside then took more steps looking and gazing all around her new home, what it looked like, how the colors blended well with the furniture, and how nicely decorated the home was (for a guy). She found her way to the sofa and gazed upon at the black TV screen in front of her. "Is that what I look like?"
Matt was confused by what she meant but he glanced at what she saw. "Yea, that's what you look like."
"I look weird…" She averted her eyes to something more interesting, she looked and looked. "Where…am I going to sleep?"
"The room in the middle is your room now,"
"Where's yours?" She turned to face him.
"By the door," His answer was short compared to the one in his mind. It seemed that he was preoccupied with something his mind thought of. He knew something important was to take place today. Something important was happening today. "Are you hungry?"
And just before Mimi could answer he held his hand up. "No…no cake." Mimi made that childish face again thinking.
Was it work that was important? No. He wasn't going back for another month.
"Hm, what do you like to eat Matt?" Mimi asked smiling at his face. He couldn't see it, that smile of hers, it somehow made him feel…weird.
"Yakisoba and sometimes curry rice."
Was it dealing with his student loans? No. He was almost done paying that.
So it was settled, she ate his cooking of both Yakisoba and Curry Rice. Together they ate on his dining table eating the noodles and rice dishes. The way she ate at the dinner table was messier than how she ate at the hospital, of course Matt didn't mind, it was just amusing how fast she ate his cooking. But that one thought in his mind kept ticking him…
Was it someone at work? No. Definitely not.
"Is there something bothering you Matt?" Mimi struggled to hold her chopsticks together.
"It's something small…" Matt shook his head as Mimi saw her noodles fall down through her chopsticks. It had been awhile since she used chopsticks.
When he looked over Mimi's shoulders, he saw his wall clock. 3:00pm. Now, there was definitely something he was supposed to do before 3:00pm.
"It does bother me not knowing stuff like that…" She said swirling her chopsticks inside her plate of Yakisoba gathering the noodles and using her second chopstick she trapped them between the two eating sticks and slurped up her meal up easily.
"Bother…" Now that word somewhat triggered his mind a bit. "Bother…" he repeated again.
Bother…before 3:00pm? Bother what at 3:00pm?
"You know when you say bother…" Mimi caught Matt's attention. "It's kinda reminds me of the word 'brother'!"
"Brother…" He repeated Mimi's word again. "Brother…? Brother! Oh God!" He cried looking mad at Mimi who stopped eating her Curry Rice. "I was supposed to pick up my brother at the airport today before 3:00pm!"
His reaction confused and made Mimi panic like never before. He suddenly shot up from the table ignoring everything he bumped and tripped over the little things in his house. He struggled to find his keys which he passed twice searching for them, already forgetting where he had placed them. He went over to the kitchen counter looking inside jars and cups and even inside his dirty dishes.
"Under the sofa?" He rapidly walked over pushing the cushions up seeing nothing but missing change and a few food crumbs as well. "No! Oh God, he's gonna be so pissed off at me Mimi!"
"The bowl," Mimi slurped her final slurp of Yakisoba.
"What?" His face of confusion, he stud holding the black leather cushion from his sofa up.
"You put your keys inside the bowl." She pointed to the black glossy bowl, when he dropped the cushion he viciously placed his hand inside it tipping it over but quickly placed it correctly.
"I'll be back Mimi!" As he placed his jacket correctly, he lectured her like a daughter. "Don't answer the phone! Lock the doors! Don't answer the door unless it's me!"
And at that moment, he had his hand on the doorknob turning it and swung open the door. What he saw in front of him was absolute puzzlement. His world just seemed to go downside from here.
"T.K…?" There, in front of him was T.K, his brother that he was supposed to pick up from the airport before 3:00pm.
"Unbelievable!" were his first words to Matt. "You forgot about me at the airport didn't you?" He pushed his brother backwards with his backpack.
"I didn't T.K! Look, I was about to head out to go get you!"
T.K squinted his eyes not believing his brother. The nerve he had to lie. "You lair! You forgot about me again! Don't you dare give me an excuse this time, brother! Apparently I'm forgettable to you, aren't I? That's what you said with mom and dad!"
T.K shoved Matt back causing him to place his arms around his head protecting it from the thrashes of T.K's bag hitting him again and again, complaining and cursing every time.
"T.K! Please listen to me!" T.K refused to instead he hit him on his side. "Listen to me!" He managed to separate himself from T.K. "My friend Mimi!"
"Oh!" T.K didn't like the sound of that…especially since it was a girl. Again. "Mimi, I see! Is she a lady friend of yours? I bet you she is!"
"Am I your…lady friend Matt?" Mimi had overheard the conversation (but not realizing the true meaning of 'lady friend'), leading for the two bickering siblings to stop and turn to her. She had finished her meal and walked over to them. Matt didn't know how to respond to the question all he did was cover his mouth with his hand, feeling that weird feeling again. T.K, however, met eye to eye with her.
He whispered her name under his breath. His face was relaxed instead of anger. He didn't know why, but he felt relieved seeing Mimi.
