Chapter 11

Tai POV

I sigh on my way walking to school with Mimi. She ask me "What is the matter Tai?" she looks concerns than adds jokily "Miss Sora, already? I think this is a new record for you two this week for your longest morning kiss." She smiles then push me, I laugh at her joke. She right when I'm kissing Sora, something just comes over me, I thinking I'm starting to like it too. That not what the problem is.

"Well, you see Meam's that isn't the problem. In fact I bet we can even break that record next week if we try." She laughs with me before I continue "I'm worry about Sora family dinner tonight, I just want her to go back to a normal happy life. I think that she can learn, that her family cares for her, but she doesn't want to give them a chance…." I run my hand though my hair. Mimi hugs me.

"Sometime I don't think, you're real Tai. You're too nice and caring to be real. Though I think I just found someone that might even be a rival you for that." She sighs and then let go me and we continue on walking to school. "I was worry about that too be honest, but I'm not any more for the simple reason that you're going and that should make everything fine." I sigh at Mimi I'm not so sure about that.

"Well you might say that but Mimi, that doesn't give the confidence I need right now…" was my answer to Mimi, before she able to say anything else. "I love her, and I want her to be happy, I just don't want to force this on her if she isn't ready to…."

Mimi had a peppy respond to me as usually "Tai, don't stress out too much about it, we all know you love Sora, and would do anything for her. We both know it right for her go meet her parent tonight. You're going to be there to calm her down if she get work up, and if you can't somehow. Please tell me, I might have to move back to America. If she that bad that even your wondrous charms can't work its magic, we have a problem." I laugh at Mimi joke at the end she right what ever happen tonight at the dinner at least I'll be there to make sure to face it together.

Sora POV

Well nothing really happen today at lunch other than Mimi and Izzy went to work on their Secret project together. Tai was well like Tai today. Why was I not surprise yesterday that Tai didn't come and hangout with me at the flower shop. I mean it isn't that hard to come by and stop in. He doesn't have to spend all his time with her. I sigh was this how Tai felt when I started Dating Matt? Well now I know how bad it feels. I'm angry at him why didn't he do something sooner about hangout with me… then that way I could do something about him without feeling bad about it. This is really hard to do, how Tai dealt with this all year long. I don't think I will ever be able to last that long. Now I got to have this stupid dinner that Tai coming to. It bad enough that she coming but why did she have to bring Tai, I'm would of be brave enough to go alone, she doesn't need Tai here tonight. I realize I'm at my front door now, I hope dad here so I can get him to myself for a bit. I open the door and shout "I'm home!" I look at the clock and see that it 3 old clock.

"Oh honey your home just in time. Can you help me by finishing cleaning the house before your dad gets here at 4:30? While I start cooking up dinner?" My mom ask me, I feel like saying no to her. I just need to think about it like I'm just doing this for my dad. That all.

"Okay I can do that what all left to do?" I ask her. Hoping it isn't a long list.

"Well just the living room and bathroom left to do. That is unless you want to clean your room so you can show it off to your twin?" I'm not letting her in to bedroom again if I can help it.

"Okay I can do that for you mama" I shout back to her. I begin to clean as I'm cleaning I begin to think, why I am so angry at this other Sora. I mean I felt really sorry for her at begin of this. I mean I really should of, if I hadn't I would have been worry about the state of my mental health. Now that two weeks have gone past I can't even stand her. I don't know what to think about her any more. I haven't really seen her all that much during her time here. Wait I haven't seen her at all, I shrug at this it does not matter if I see her or not, I know I don't like her. I'm just finish cleaning the bathroom when my dad walks through the door.

"Sorry I'm late, traffic was really bad coming over here." Said my dad. I look at the clock it 4:50 I won't get much alone time with him before she shows up.

"Don't worry dear, you show up before she got here, that all that matters. Why don't you go use the bathroom to fresh up before she gets here?" My mother tells him.

I run and hug my Dad, "Dad you're really here, I'm glad to see you tonight." He chuckles at this and pats my hair like I like.

"Of course I wouldn't miss this day for your new Twin. Sora, we going to have blast tonight. Now if you would like to let go, I'm going to take your mother advice and fresh up a bit before she arrives." My dad says to me. I let go defeat, he right he only came down to see his new daughter and not me. When he finally get done he out of the bathroom at 5:05. I sigh they could be here any minute I was just about to try and talk with my dad when the doorbell rings. Of course Tai isn't horrible late the one time I would want him to be. My dad says "That must be them, Sora can you be a dear and go let them in." I just nod and go to the door.

Look like I'm going to try and pretend to be happy around her, otherwise my parent might kill me for messing this up. I open the door to see her and Tai there. Tai has his arm around her and she looks like she would rather be anywhere but here. She not even looking at the door but at her feet, Tai on the other hand is smiling. "Hey guys, how about you guys come inside. Dad just got in, he is excite to see you." I hopefully say without spite in my voice, I just hope I said that happily enough for them to buy it.

Tai look at Sora and nudge her and says "We love to won't we Sora?" he looking at her now. She looking at him now and frowns then sighs.

She wearing a faint smile now as they enter my apartment. She says very quietly "Thank you we love to…" She won't make eye contact with me. She walks into the living room, she stands there a bit looking at the ground. No one is really saying until the other me speaks up. "Thanks for having me over mom and dad…"

I see my Dad has an even bigger smile on his face now than when he first greeted me. I don't really like that. He goes on to say "Well of course we will have you over anytime Sora, this is your home if you ever want it to be."

She look up at him and smiles a bit, but then start to put her arm around Tai and hug him. She buries her head into Tai chest. Why! Why is she doing that! She doesn't have to do that all. My mother starts to speaks, "I'm sorry for yell at you when you first got back…." She sighs "you have to admit this has been very confusing for us when you have no one telling you anything." Was that directed at me, it better not I thought we agree I shouldn't tell my parent when she first show up. She continues "You're our daughter no matter what happens honey, like your father said your welcome here anytime you want to just come over for a visit."

They are now waiting for the other me to respond she not saying anything she just still hugging Tai. She look up at him and I catch that there eye meet, look like their having conversion without talking. Tai then sighs before he says something "I'm sure she will take you up for that offer at some point, she just feeling a little bit overwhelm right now, isn't that right Sora?" So she having him speak for her now as well.

She just nods. She finally turns her head towards my parents and mumbles "he right…." Both my parent sigh at this. I don't blame them at all she been really hard about this, they love her I know this because I know they love me. Why can't she see that?

"Well I made your favorite for tonight, I made those meatball you love as a kid…. I hope you still like them?" Says my mother timidly.

The other me turn and smiles and says "really?" and then her face turns sad again "I bet you didn't remember you just ask Sora for help…" she said this like she was about to cry. Tai just start to rub her back and she put her face back into his chest. NO they didn't ask me what they should cook tonight.

I was going to answer but my mom beat me to it. "Of course not, why would we need to ask her for something as simple as that?" I don't know why this is causing my blood to boil but it just see her there with Tai, I don't know if I'll make though the dinner without saying something bad.

I sigh I can't let these feeling get the better of me, I calm down a bit and restate what my mother already said,"Ya they didn't ask me before they start making the food tonight, in fact I just found out what we're having as well." I hope that sound good enough.

The room goes quiet again for a few moment before she speaks again. "I think I really like that…" she hasn't taken her head out of Tai chest. He stops rubbing her back and the motion her to try and face them. Good Tai make her face them on her own… I sigh I just realize how great Tai is again. He not going truly let her face this lone if she doesn't want to.

She turn around, she only has hold of his hand this time when she speaks "Well I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty hungry, how about we start eating something?" my parents smile at this I guess she opening up a little bit better.

"We can do that dear, Lets us just go set the table. While we do that while don't you kids go sit down and wait for us." My mother tells us, they nod, I just go sit at the table.

What do I say to them, should I say something to them, I know I ask him about her when we talk about it, but I didn't like his answer. Do I just talk to Tai, right now? Or the both of them… It looks like Tai beat me to it "So Sora, gone on any dates with Matt this week then?" That would be a no, I was too angry at Tai to really go on a date during early part of the week and Thursday I had the flower shop to look after.

"Nope no dates at all, I didn't even think about it until you ask me about it. Honestly." Tai looks a little bit disappoint by that answer I guess, I think that he wants me to be happy and figure Matt would try and cheer me up while I was angry at him… I sigh does Tai really always puts me first… then I notice my twin, I don't feel right calling her that… She is smiling. I grind my teeth at this why the hell is she smiling if I didn't go on a date. I was about to ask her when my parent come back with the food.

"Hey kids what are you guys talking about?" ask my dad. He hands Tai and her their meal, while my mother give me mine and put down another one in front of where my dad sitting. My mom goes back into the kitchen to grab her plate.

"Well I think we just about to trade dating stories, Sora already fill us in on her dates. So we might as well as begin our own while you're here, right Sora?" He looks over to her as he was saying this. She just nods at my dad.

"Oh right, you two are dating now right? How did that happen anyways honey?" My dad ask that question directly at her, she probably just avoid the question and let Tai answer it.

She does not do this at all, she answer him "Last Saturday, after a perfect day out, he answer me on the Sunday with a kiss." She blush as she says the last part, I bet there more to story but I guess she doesn't want to tell it.

My mother comes in with her plate, she hear what she said and respond to her " Well I think that really sweet way of answer a girl Tai, I'm sure it was very romantic when he kiss you." She just nods with a blush on her face.

She look down at her meatballs and eat one of them "These are still really good mama." Then begins to eat some more of them slowly, like she wait for my mother to make a comment.

My mom reply with "I'm glad to hear that you still like them from when you were a kid." I roll my eyes at this attempt to make her happy, don't think anyone paying any attention to me at this point.

My dad says "I think you were planning on telling us how your date went this week, Sora. That is unless you don't feel comfortable telling us that is." He put on a concern face when he asking that.

She doesn't know what to do, she then looks at Tai who nods at her like it okay to tell if you want. She sighs "Okay but only if really want to hear about it that is…."

My mom and dad look at each and chuckle they with "Of course we would silly." Then my mom continues with "Why wouldn't we want to hear about how our daughter dates go? We want to know how happy he made you."

She smiles at this and begins to tell about their` Noir date. "Well we went to Noir, on Monday and Tai was able to get us in from the fact his uncle is now the head chief, the food was really good too. I also learned that Tai knew French, and he told a cool story how he went to France and used it." She plays with her meatball with her fork and sighs "It was the most perfect first date I could have ask for…" I remember the first time Matt took me there, it wasn't our first but it what made me want to still date him. That feeling quickly past over and turn into angry. She had to have a great first date didn't see, well of course Tai was in charge and he always make sure we have a fun time…

"Well it doesn't sound like we need to get after you Tai for not treating her right." My dad chuckles at him, he smiles a bit at this. Tai doesn't get see my father that much, even when he was around here as a kid. Even if we were like glue before she came along and ruin that…

I don't hear what anyone talking about since I came to the realization that I'm getting jealous of her, Why am I jealous of her I begin to think about it but don't get far when I hear someone ask me something. I asked "Can you repeat the question?"

Tai speaks up "Well I ask you are you okay? You been really quiet lately and seem a bit down?" Of course Tai was the one to check up on me. What should I say, I know I won't say the truth because I haven't found out the truth yet.

"Oh I just missing Matt that all, I haven't see him lately and see you two acting all loving is just wish he was here…. That all…" I say that as I pat myself on the back I think I even believe that for a second. So does Tai as he goes back to main conversion. They look really happy together… and that make me so mad. Why oh, why can't I be happy for Tai he found himself a great girlfriend by the sound of it.

I look around at the table everyone really happy now. "And that how I beat him at soccer when I first came back even though I was rusty for not playing for 4 years." I look over at my twin as she saying that, she sound really cheerful about that.

"Oh really that great to hear, I'm sure you will make the soccer club next season then." My mother says to her. I don't know how to react to that comment, was my mom just happy for me that I was playing a different sport other than soccer when I switch over to tennis. Some time I wonder if it was the case but she sound like she didn't care what sport I play… maybe I should switch back to soccer. I mean I could try and get Tai to go back to a CO-ED team. He say he left that because he wouldn't be able to play with me anymore. As this night goes on I'm starting to feel worse and worse about myself…

I look around everyone else has finish their meals… I really don't feel like finishing this anymore. "I don't feel like eating any more if you guys are waiting on me…." I barely manage to get out. My mom just nods at me to acknowledge my comment.

Tai and she are acting super lovely dovely right now, my stomach can't take this. "Well who up for a game of cards?" my dad ask everyone.

She was the first one to answer my dad. "Well I only promise a dinner… but this has been fun, so why not?" she start to sound like she want to bail, I would of rather that then this. Then she sound cheerful at the end. Tai look happy, probably for reason she accepting her… my family.

"I don't feel too well, is it okay if I go lay down in my room." I say since I wouldn't be able to take another moment of Tai and her together… how the hell did Tai do this with me and Matt. My parent don't even bother to respond to me other than a nod. Tai looks at me worried then stops when she kiss him on the check he then turn his attention back to her and returns the kiss.

I walk to my bedroom, and lay down. I can hear them having fun out there without me. I now know I'm jealous of her taking away all my time with Tai, I'm jealous of her because my parent didn't feel like they care about me tonight… I hate her so much.

Tai POV

It really upsetting that Sora wasn't feeling good last night, I mean she miss out on a pretty good time with her parents. I think my Sora starting to come round to liking her parents. By the end of the night she came out of her shell a lot. I hope she be able to make a lasting relationship with them, and by the look of things she will be able too. Well let's not worry about that too much today instead let's give Sora another perfect date then.

I knock on the door to Mimi apartment, it opens to reveal Sora standing there looking sexy. She leans up against the door. "Hey Tai, where my Kiss?" she says seductively, when she says it like that I can't resist her all. I mean it, I don't know what came over me as we begin kiss. I was just here to pick her up for a date. I guess she want this more. After a while we break a part, I look at the time it 4:03. We meant to be there by 1:15. Oh well back up plan.

"Hey Sora it look like we miss out on what I had plan for day by kissing." I chuckle at this "So how about I take you bowling instead? I could really use a win over you this time, since you beat me at soccer." I am now grinning at her when I finish talking.

She laughs at my joke, "OH Tai I know you had something plan out for tonight, I'm sorry we got carry away but bowling with you will be perfect anyways…" she blinks her eye at me not so innocently. She giggles at me and with that we head off to bowling alley that nearby.

I want to ask her how she thought the dinner went last night since we didn't talk that much when we got back, instead we were only making out on the couch last night. "So Sora, I thought about the dinner last night. I think it went pretty good, what did you think of it?"

She sighs "It was fine, a lot better than I thought it would be. How about instead of focusing on that we focus on date instead?" there wasn't that much spite in her tone as there was on Tuesday when she first got invited over to the dinner. I guess that is an improvement.

We final get to bowling alley, we had a blast playing but Sora couldn't keep her hands off me the entire time, not like I'm complaining at this… right? Shouldn't I be? I don't think this is what I want from this relationship… Sora quickly changes my mind by kiss me when I was thinking about that… What was I thinking about again?

I end up beating her in bowling. I think I don't really remember it all that too well. We grab a quick bit to eat at the midnight dinner since Sora want to head home. We do just that. I don't remember what I order Sora was too distracting at the time.

I don't remember when or how we end up making out in Sora bedroom, but this nice. Sora at some point takes off her clothes to reveal her underwear. I haven't seen her look this hot since I first saw her in her tennis uniform. I deepen the kiss, and pull back. I haven't seen this Sora in a tennis uniform, I can't do this not while I think of her it wouldn't be fair. What is this, I gain my sense I realize we about to have sex. I don't want sex with Sora now. I don't want this relationship to base off sex.

"Sora we can't do this, we can't have sex." I say to her. She look surprise that I stop then she look really sad. She then begins to start crying. I hate it when she crying.

"What wrong…sniff… do you think….sniff… I'm ugly?" She manages to get out between crying, I sigh this is going to be a long talk.

"No Sora, you're beautiful, you truly are beautiful, like an angle." That was all I was able to get out before she interpret me.

"Then why don't you want this?" she manage to get out before she starts crying even more. I just hold her for a bit before she calm down.

"Sora for a couple of reason, first is I don't want our relationship to based off sex, which it might be if we do this too early." She looks really confused by this so much she stop crying for a few seconds, then she nods to let me continue "Plus I wasn't only thinking of you when we're making out right then, it what broken me out of my trance in the first place. I won't do this unless I'm thinking hundred percent about you it seen, well unfaithful to you otherwise." I sigh to let her know I'm done.

"It was her, was it not?" she ask me kind of angry but with an understanding tone as well.

"Ya it was her in her tennis uniform, I'm sorry about that, but I couldn't do that to her as my best friend it would be wrong." I hold her while I say that. I then pull her off me and look her in the eye. "I will stay here with you tonight, I will hold you tonight, but I won't have sex with you tonight do you understand me?"

She nods and bring me back down to the bed "ya I do, please don't leave me tonight."

I look at her and grin "Of course not." Then I add "Sora I don't think I'll be able to live without you now that I have this." I can't see her face, but she nods. That what I do, I just lay with her until sleep takes us both.

Mimi POV

I sigh, I was really think there for second they going to have sex. I look up to celling while I thinking about what just happen. If she going to living here, I'm going to have to have that room soundproof. It doesn't sound like I'll have to do anytime soon by the way Tai was talking in there.
