Chapter 6: I Remember…But You Don't

Mimi…it had been who knows how long, but he was seeing her face to face. That gentle face she always had that he admired and those brown sincere eyes he loved to look at and who could forget her curly bouncy cinnamon hair? He would laugh at her whenever it bounced. It was good that she didn't find it annoying, she would laugh alongside him. Yea…alongside.

But it was different now.

"I'm Mimi, nice to meet you." She held her hand out for him to shake it and when he shook it, there, he felt that feeling again. The feeling when they were together and he had missed it.

"Hi Mimi," His voice wanted to tremble but he refused to show it. "I'm Tai! Matt's bestest buddy!" Then he altered to that outrageously loud voice of his that he was famous for while shaking Mimi's hand wildly.

"Bestest is not a word, Tai." Matt stood beside him. "How many times am I going to say that?"

"678 times exactly!" He laughed afterwards.

"…You actually keep count?"

Tai looked over to see Matt. "Keep count of what?"

Matt sighed. He already couldn't keep up with T.K but now that Tai's here, it'll make Matt even more exhausted. Back in Jr. High when they were both 1st years, they had met for the first time. It seemed like a normal friendship with the two of them having more things in common than regular friends like their favorite sports, how they had siblings the same age and same…well basically everything. They were like twins from different mothers. It wasn't until later did he found out something about Tai…

He was exactly like T.K, another annoying brother.

"Tai~!" T.K exclaimed literally running to him.

"T.K~!" He did the same but with tears.

"Anyway," Already annoyed, Matt came to Mimi's side sitting next to her. "How did you get my address? I haven't told you about it."

But Matt thought it was strange that Tai didn't keep in touch their first year of college and months before entering their second year of college Tai finally called him saying that he was busy with his sister Kari and his mother.

And just like always, Tai never answered a question directly. "So how did you and the Ishida brothers meet, Mimi?"

"Of course," Matt began heading to the kitchen for some water. "Never answering my questions…"

"Well…Matt accidently hit me with his car so,"

Tai, being more dramatic as T.K made the longest and loudest gasp Matt has ever heard. "You hit Mimi? How could you not pay attention to the road, you insensitive jerk?" Hearing that coming from Tai's mouth made Matt's teeth viciously grinded against the glass cup, he swore he heard a crack.

"Actually Tai," Mimi placed her soft hand on Tai's arm. He had forgotten how small her hand was and how warm her touch was like. "It was my fault. I walked on the crosswalk when it wasn't my turn, I didn't pay attention."

Tai sighed unable to say anything after that. When they were alongside, he always heard everything that Mimi had said to him. She was the talker while he was the listener and he was the best listener. It was good that he listened because he remembered exactly everything that she had told him. It was good to hear those stories she would tell him. Then one day, it was vice versa. He was the talker and she the listener. He had to make an important decision and she listened as he poured his heart out to her and the only thing she did was embrace him, which made him feel good and sad at the same time. His decision would cause her to be alone. She wouldn't have anyone to talk to anymore and nobody was a good listener like he was.

She listened and hugged him and that was everything Tai had wanted someone to do to him. And he got it.

As the time progressed Tai had offered to cook some dinner for all of them seeing how he came over unexpectedly. It was almost a traditional meal really nothing too fancy or plain but good traditional food. Matt was surprised on how well his cooking was compared to the time they were in high school.

"Ah please Matt, I was naïve and foolish! Of course my skills weren't that good…I had no talent in culinary like you and T.K."

"How is now different from back then?"

"Now, now Matt. Don't be jealous because I surpassed you."

Matt tightened his grip on his chopsticks holding in his anger. It was Tai after all and besides, he learned how to cope right? Sure, it was a long time ago but he'll remember how he coped with Tai. Anytime soon…anytime now…

"I couldn't help but notice Mimi," He believed it may be time to tell her…even though she told him she lost her memories right? "You remind me of my friend that I met my first year of college…"

Mimi was interested in hearing what Tai would say, who knows? It could be a forgotten memory! The surprise of it could be that they had some connection to each other. Maybe…what if he could be that friend in her dream? It was a possibility right? Of course it was…anything is possible.

"No…actually Mimi, you and I were friends years ago."

"How come you didn't say anything, Tai?" Matt's words were the first to be heard after a moment of silence.

"I was pretty much scared and nervous. I wasn't sure if it was you but now that I know…well heh." Tai's face changed and it was an expression that he rubbed off from Mimi. The face of sincerity. "You were ahead of your class so you skipped your 3rd year of high school and became a 1st year at Okinawa University."

"Okinawa University?" Mimi gently placed her chopsticks on the table trying so hard to remember. With her eyes closed and mind concentrated, she had to remember…

It was there!

Vague, but it was there! She was majoring to be a Fashion Designer and Tai a Lawyer. They bumped by accident and became friends that day too. "I remember!" She suddenly felt glee glow around her face. "Yes, Okinawa University!" Her tears swelled up her eyes, almost stinging her. She entwined her fingers together, closed her eyes and allowed her tears to fall down her face. "I remember…" Her voice drifted.

"A fashion designer, that's amazing Mimi!" T.K exclaimed proudly.

"Yea we were an awesome duo! However, my memory goes blank after that. I think we stayed friends all through our first and second year of college but we went our separate ways on our third and fourth year."

No, he does remember what happened. It was a lie. There wasn't a blank in any of his memories…he knew what happened and why they went their separate ways. It was because of him all because he made a certain choice that caused him to leave her side. He caused her to be lonely.

"What do you think Mimi?" Matt turned to her as she looked at him with the biggest smile she could give.

"I feel…I feel more than blissful. Thank you Tai! Thank you!"

He couldn't help but smile an uneasy smile, maybe a smile of regret. Could it be that if he hadn't left her side she would have her memories still? "Yea…"

"Let us celebrate….with cake!" T.K announced with enthusiasm.

"Cake!" Mimi agreed.

"No!" But Matt objected.

Yea…he should have stayed by her side.
