hehhee, like always... enjoy.

"It was fun" Mimi said looking at Matt. "I never thought taking pictures under the water could be that funny"

"It is if you look like this on them" said Matt showing her a picture he took of her under the water. Her hair was spread in all directions and only her eyes were focus in the picture. She looked like a sea monster.

"You know" Mimi said glaring at him with deathly eyes. "You really know how to ruin moments"

"Are you saying that we shared a moment?" he asked smirking.

"NO! You aren't that lucky."

"Are you sure?" Because I'm starting to think I am" They were lying on the mattress one next to the other. They just had lunch all together. Sora and Tai were diving. The animal or better say the black lion fish they were looking for, hadn't appear yet so they still had some free time to enjoy themselves.

They kept talking and making fun of each other. Sora and Tai joined them after a while. They played cards and drank some cocktails Tai prepared in the little kitchen. The hours passed by and the black lion fish never showed up. They collocate radars and sensors so they would known when the little fishy would have the guts to appear.

-A couple of days have passed since the first day on the boat.-

The sun was half hidden behind the sea. The sky was pink and sea was calm. The sunset was gorgeous. They were sitting on the beach staring at the horizon. Sora and Tai stood up and walked away laughing and staring at them.

"Do you think they are talking about us?"

"Maybe but I don't think that's the reason they are walking away." She said staring at the couple.

"What are you thinking?" he asked staring at her. She looked back at him and smiled.

"Nothing really…"

"Oh c'mon; we are friends right? Or at least I guess we are. Leaving the fact that I have already see you already half naked—"

"Shut up!" she punched him playfully on the shoulder. "But it's nothing really" Matt didn't believe her. Maybe they have just met, now, for a few days but it seems like an eternity. He felt like she has always be his friend that she has always been there with him, cheering him up and holding his hand when he was down. He felt like he would never found a girl like her that knew him better.

"If it was nothing you wouldn't say it's nothing. Nothing means something, you know?" He took her by the cheek and made her looked at him.

"It's just" how should she say this? She knew him for a few days. He knew more than people could know about her in years but she hasn't told him about her past yet. She didn't want him to know but he would find out anyway. It was so easy to talk to him. "I miss it"

"You miss what?"

"What they have, love. Being in love, falling in love; those kind of things" she looked away while he reminded in silence. "Do you know what I mean?"

He said nothing. He did not know what to say. What should he?

"Have you ever been in love?"

"No not really; you?" he looked at her. She was staring at her bare feet hidden in the sand.

"I think I was, but it didn't work. He…" she couldn't continue. It was hard to remember.

"Did he hit you?" asked Matt because of the looked she had on her face.

"No. He never did so. He wouldn't ever do something like that to me."

"Then why?"

"He slept with his sister the night before our wedding." She closed her eyes. Matt was trying to assimilate what she just has said.

"You mean, with your sister?" she shook her head. "He slept with his own sister in your wedding night?! What?!" he couldn't believe this. What kind of person can do that?!

"After I found out my life change; I didn't go out with my friends anymore. I couldn't. I felt betrayed, used, alone and heart-broken. I couldn't stand it. I run away but it didn't help too much. I couldn't clear my mind then I met Sora. She helps me a lot without knowing it. I haven't date anyone in almost two years, no vacations or parties. I couldn't handle it. The only thing that kept my life going on was my two gay friends, Sora and work. I became a workaholic."

"…with his own sister…?" Mimi laughed at him. She couldn't help it. It was the first time I her whole life that she had laugh while telling someone this part of the story of her life. Matt was funny but now not on purpose.

"So leaving my drama in my past, what about you? Do you have a girlfriend or a fiancé? Maybe a wife and two kids." After hearing Mimi's question the whole topic about Mimi's ex sleeping with his own sister disappeared from his mind.

"Me, Married? Are you nuts?"

"Hey it was only a question! You don't have a ring—"

"What are you interested?"

"You wish! I was just curios about it. You are a great guy I wonder why you don't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend?" he almost jumped over her. She couldn't be thinking about him being gay, could she?

"I'm not gay!" he thought about mentioning Naoko but why would he? She wasn't his girlfriend. She thought she was but only in her fantasy. "I just haven't found the right one for me"

"No girlfriend?"

"Nope" Mimi smiled at him. She didn't know why but knowing that made her feels good.

"So tell me more about you" he commanded. Her smile changed to a smirk and a frown. "What's your family like?"

Mimi stood a while in silence before answering him. "They are getting married in a 5 weeks."

"Your parents?"

"No my best gay friends; Christian and Nate, they are my family. Sora is now a part of it, she is like the sister I never had. They take care of me or at least try to but I don't really let them."

Matt lay down. The sky was darkening more and more. The sun was already gone and the moon was up decorating the sky with all the stars.

"SO you don't have a real family?"

"They are my real family." Mimi lay next to him looking at him. "My dad never really cared about me and my mom died when I was 15 years-old. A year after her dead my dad left on a work trip but never came back. He kept paying me school and sending me money to cover all the bills. I started living with Nate and Christian since then. When I was 18 I decided to look for him, so we could start over. I really missed him." There was a paused. Matt didn't know what to say or even if he should say something. "When I found him, I found out that he had a new family and of course, I was not part of it. After that we fought a lot. It changed me a lot. From being a strong girl I became the weakest person ever wanted to be. Every time when I can't deal with things I have this urge to run away to somewhere where I can think, clear my mind and cry all over the plot and then return to my home, my work and my life and act like nothing ever happen. "

"It must have been hard"

"It is. I still can't find a reason not to run away when I can't deal with things. I hate it. I want to be strong again, I want to be able to handle things by my own without having to go somewhere else to do it, to get over things, to find a way to be happy again or at least try to. But it's really difficult with him calling me sometimes , drunk, saying that I'm a bitch and that his life would have been so much better without me" Matt rolled over to her and hugged her.

"You are strong. The only thing you need now is to realize it." He took her by the face and looked into her beautiful caramel eyes. "Scare means not weak. Don't ever forget that again. And forget about that ass, he don't know what he is talking about. For example, I would never ever wish not meeting you. I'm a lucky guy." Mimi was lost in his eyes, in his words. He kissed her cheek and stood up. She was still on the ground when he offered her a hand to help her stand up.

It was late and they were supposed to have dinner with Tai and Sora in the hotel restaurant.

"It's 11:30 pm." He said after checking his watch.

"God, Sora is going to kill me. We were supposed to meet her 3 hours ago!"

"I bet she found a way to entertain herself while we were talking."

"It's easy to talk to you, you know?" he smiled" I never ever have told someone those things I told you today. I mean, obviously Nate, Christian and Sora know but no one else. Not forgetting to mention that I told her that before getting into the plane last week, and you? I barely know you for 6 days."

"Then why did you told me?"

"I don't know why but I trust you. You are special. I don't know why but you are like me. It is like if we were—"she cut herself off. Was she actually thinking about what she was saying? They were already at the hall from the hotel so she makes up an excuse to stop talking so she wouldn't end up regretting things.

"Hey I have to do some things before getting back to my room. So, see you tomorrow ok?" she didn't wait for an answered and disappeared in the reception.

"What was that?" Matt asked himself. But he was really wondering what she was going to say before changing the subject. He walked back to his hotel room.

Mimi got the new key of her new room. Why in hell would Sora change the hotels room without letting her know?

She got inside the new room and took a look at it. It was nice though. The only problem that was not really a problem, was the king size bed in the middle of the room. Sora and she were going to share the bed.

After taking a brief shower, she looked between her stuff her pajama. She found this beautiful and sexy dark red vine night gown. She smiled at it and put it on. There was no special reason to wear it, not even to buy it but she bought it anyway. She lay down on the bed and took the book she has been reading these past few days to continue it.

She thought about her conversation with Matt earlier, was she really thinking of saying that it seems that they were meant to be? God she really needs to start thinking what she is going to say. They were just friends!

A few hours passed by and she was still awake reading. Suddenly the door swung open and Tai and Sora walked in kissing each other wildly.

"Hey guys!" she said loudly so they would hear her. "I'm here too you know?!" she kind of yelled up.

"What are you doing here?"

"It's my room too, remember?" Mimi said harshly to Tai. He tried to ignore the fact that she was right and kissed Sora again. "For god sake, Get a room!"

At this statement Tai and Sora stopped. They looked at each other intensively and smirked. Then turned to Mimi and walked to her.

"What are you doing?! No, c'mon! No! Hey guys! Stop it!" Tai was holding Mimi bride style and getting her out of the room. Sora opened the door and was waiting to close it again. Tai literary threw her out. "Shit! I meant another room!" she yelled back to the closed door.

Several seconds passed before the door opened again.

"You know, threesomes aren't that bad" Tai was looking straight to Mimi's night gown.

"You are disgusting" she said still lying on the floor.

"Your miss. Anyway, you look really hot in that" he said smiling "You should use it with Matt, he will definitely like it"

"--?" the door was closed again before she could actually say something. What the hell did he meant by use it with Matt. They were friends and nothing else, right?

She stood up and started knocking at the door and yelling so they would snack into another room and fuck without leaving Mimi in the hallway.

"Would you shut the fuck up? I'm trying to sleep here" said a voice behind Mimi. She froze and turned around to face the person and apologize.

"Sorry, I… Matt? What are you doing there?" Mimi couldn't believe her eyes.

"This is my hotel room, at least since yesterday." Mimi smiled. Why? She didn't know but she was actually happy to talk to Matt right now.

"Really?" she paused. "Mine is this one" she said pointing at the closed door. "I really don't know why but hey I'm not complaining."

"It looked like you were, minutes ago."

"I was, actually. Can you believe them? They kicked me out of my hotel room so they can fuck in there!"

"They tried to do the same thing a while ago here. But I threw Tai out and Sora, well she followed him" Mimi laughed. Matt was smiling. "Hey wanna come in?" he offered her. "If you don't want to stay out in the hallway the rest of the night, you better come in"

"Thank you" she said walking into his bedroom. She took a look around and realized that his hotel room was exactly like hers; just one bed and a very uncomfortable couch.

"You can sleep in the bed, I'll take the couch"

"No" Matt frowned and stared at her. "I'll take the couch. You are already allowing me to stay in here with you, so I don't want to bother you. I'll take the couch" after a few minutes of discussion Mimi sat on the couch and Matt was lying on the bed. They said goodnight and tried to sleep.

Half and hour later, Matt was finally falling asleep when he felt something moving over the bed and lying next to him. He turned on the light and found Mimi.

"I can't sleep on the couch. It's freaking impossible to even close my eyes!" Matt laughed at her. He turned off the lights again. They talked a very while before both of them fall asleep. And the night went on.
