Hello, guise, waddap? Sorry for the misunderstanding in the previous chapter. :c I really need to rephrase my words more clearly. But yeah, I just meant that that was the end of that chapter. Not the whole story. ;D Chapter 10! Weeeee, xD I don't own anything.
"I'm gonna go, Tai," Mimi found her way to her jacket and hung it on her arm.
Tai smiled at her and followed her out. "I'm taking you home, remember?" He locked his door and went to the elevator. "Besides, you have no ride."
Mimi pouted. "Oh. Forgot," she shook her head, lightly, smiling. "Silly me." Sarcasm. :]
The two headed down.
Mimi looked up at him. "Tai, listen..."
He listened, though avoided her eyes.
Was she finally gonna admit she just felt sorry for him? Gaah, crap.
"I really had a great time." she said, smirking.
Tai had the courage to smile back and wrap his arm around her waist. "Well, I'm glad to hear that."
'Glad' was clearly an understatement. He was relieved.
The elevator doors opened up to the Lobby and they walked out to the parking lot. But as they neared the car, Tai felt good enough to kiss her! In fact, he did. Just kidding, before he could, he stopped himself.
She wasn't paying attention!
He unlocked his car and she got in the other side, running, so he didn't have to open the door for her.
"Mimi, you're so freaking short," he commented as he started the ignition.
"Weeell, ex-cuse me!" she countered. "Not my fault I'm short."
"You're excused." he chuckled.
When he started the car towards her apartment, Mimi turned the radio up just so it was audible.
Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars was playing.
It was at the chorus. The two of us didn't say a word and just listened to the soothing song. When it ended, Tai stopped at the red light and looked at her.
"You know... I think you're amazing just the way you are."
Mimi grinned at him, not sure if he was serious or not. She guessed not. But that thought faded when he leaned into her. His lips aiming for hers. Her heart pounded hard against her ears and nothing at that moment mattered to her. For a moment she just stared at him, thinking about all sorts of things about him.
She gave in and slanted toward him. She sighed into their kiss, enjoying it. Tai let his tongue flick against her lower lip for a split second.
But it was a short-lived kiss. The stoplight had turned green and the cars behind them had started blasting their horns.
Tai, frustrated a bit, rolled down his window a bit, sticking his head out a little.
"HONK IF YOU'RE HORNY," he vociferated.
Before the other drivers could respond, he drove off straight, laughing.
"You seem drunk," Mimi laughed along.
"Hey," his hand found hers and their fingers intertwined. "I'm not done with you yet."
This made her blush. And he smiled at his accomplishment. He parked his car in front of her apartment and followed her out.
"What?" Mimi asked, stopping as she reached the short stairs.
Tai shoved his hands in his pockets and shrugged. "What. No goodnight kiss? I did give you, and I quote, a great time, unquote..."
Mimi paused and pretended to think it over. Tai rolled his eyes. "Really? You have to thi-"
He was interrupted mid-sentence with her lips. She pressed them lightly against his at first and pulled back, a shy grin on her face. "Goodnight kiss? Check."
Tai smirked at her and bit his lower lip, focused on her. Only on her.
She ignored him and unlocked her door, but was startled when he wrapped his arms around her waist from the back and leaned his head on her shoulder.
"You really shouldn't tease me like this. You're just asking for trouble." he said darkly but seductively.
"Oh. Am I? I hadn't noticed," she laughed.
She wasn't so surprised when Tai nudged her cheek and trailed soft, tiny kisses down her neck. She giggled and stepped into her apartment, bringing Tai in with her. He closed the door behind him and returned his attention back to her. Pressing her up against the wall, he attacked her with long, aggresive, mouth-open kisses, while she returned them. He pinned her wrists to the wall with both hands as hers layed lightly against his chest.
All was going well until...
"Ahem..."
Someone cleared their throat.
The two froze in their positions and just stopped. They both turned their heads to the direction of the noise and found Kari and Yolei sitting on the couch, almost hidden in the layers of blankets they had out.
Mimi mentally slapped herself. How could she forget Kari and Yolei hadn't left her place yet? Shit. Mimi gradually inched away from him, as he casually scratched the back of his head. He joined the two girls on the couch.
"Yolei and I were just watching No Strings Attached... You guys seem like-"
"OH I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH KARI," Tai fake laughed to save the embarrassment.
Mimi emerged from the kitchen, with a glass of water for Tai.
He thanked her and couldn't help but grab her wrist and pull her down to sit on his lap.
"I see you two are clearly hitting it off," Kari side commented, "What happened? Did Tai-"
Yolei was the one to stop her this time. "Heh, heh, she means we'll be quiet now, the movie's back on."
The four of them found comfortable spots and stayed that way for the whole movie.
Tomorrow was a big day. Matt and Sora's wedding rehearsals.
Short chapter. My brain's not working properly... :c
