Do You Know How I Feel?: Part 5


Group(Sora's P.O.V.)*@----}----{----@*

We're going to go rescue Mimi now. I have no idea how I'm gonna face her, but I know that we'll have to go anyway. For everyone here..... for her. I mean, Matt is obviously determined to go. T.K. wants to go with his big brother. Kari wants to follow T.K.. So Tai has to go with Kari because he's the big brother. So I may as well go also. I mean, nothing worse can happen, right? I mean, Tai will protect me...us.

Miragemon suggested that we rest tonight so we'll all have enough energy for tomorrow, especially the digimon because we have a feeling that they'll be doing a lot of work tomorrow. I tried to fall asleep, but I just can't. Biyomon is sound asleep. Joe and Izzy are on guard shift. I heard Matt playing his harmonica somewhere in the woods. The melody was really sad. Once he told me that he play the way he feel. No wonder the song is so depressed. I don't blame him though. I mean, if I was him, I won't be sitting there playing this happy music.

Tai was sitting by the fire. He was staring into it while Agumon was sound asleep next to him. I sat up since I couldn't sleep anyway. He heard me and turned and smiled at me. I went over to sit by him and his gaze returned to the fire.

"What're you thinking about?" I asked. Obviously something was on his mind.

"Huh?" He asked in return. He can be quite an airhead sometimes.

"I asked what're you thinking about?" I repeated. This time he heard me. Thank God. Because if he didn't, I would freak if I have to say it again.

"Nothing." He simply replied. I could tell that he was lying. It was in his eyes.

"Liar..." I whispered.

"Okay, okay, you caught me." he sighed "I'm thinking about tomorrow. I am kind of worried. I mean, we're just gonna charge into Myotismon's castle. No offense or anything, but that's just whack. I mean, if we could beat him that easily, we would've done that a long time ago. But oh well, I'll stick by Matt. I mean, I know how he feels and I feel terrible for him."

"How do you know how he feels?" I asked in wonder. We were staring at each other.

"Of course I know. Remember when you were captured by Myotis-" he cut off. I think he didn't realize what he was saying until then. He blushed a little. I wonder why......

HOLD ON!!! If he feels the same as Matt feels now when I was captured by Myotismon, then.....then does it mean that he has feelings for me? But maybe he's just worried because he's the leader and he's in charge of everyone......but Matt didn't feel this way........ I'M SO CONFUSED!!! But I hope that he does consider as more than a friend 'cause I kind of feel that way. Should I tell him? What if he doesn't like me? Oh what am I suppose to do? If only he knew who I felt.........


Tai's P.O.V.*@----}----{----@*

Oh my God! I can't believe I gave it away like that. She'd have to be stupid to not know. I guess I may as well tell her now.

We said each other's name at the same time and we both looked up at each other. We looked down and both said you first. We couldn't help but giggled a little. Then when we settled down and I said, "Lady's first."

She smiled a little and said, "I'm not exactly a lady. I'm more like a girl, so you go ahead." I loved it when she smiled. I simply couldn't hold it in anymore, I had to tell her. If I don't do it now, I'm afraid that I'll never be able to do it.

"Sora, I----I-" I tried, but I just couldn't get the words out of my mouth. I just sat there, frozen. I didn't know what to do. She was staring at me for an answer. Oh God, what am I supposed to do. There was so much on my mind in that one split second. What if she didn't feel the same? What if she hated me? What if she wouldn't be my friend anymore? What if they stop making ketchup? What in the world am I saying???

I decided to just come right out and say it. This is a chance I'd have to take. If I don't say it now, I'll never say it. You have to be brave, Tai. You have the crest of courage, remember? "Sora, I think that....." Why in the world am I hesitating?! It's getting annoying!

Tai, it's all right. So I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and said it. I said what I've been trying to say for years. "I think that I have feelings for you...... Or in other words, I think I'm in love with you. Sora.." I took her hand and opened my eyes. She was completely stunned. I had to continue. I felt like I was on a roll for some reason.

"All I have to say is, you don't have to love me back. I just wanted you to know that. I wanted you to know how I felt..." she just sat there and stared at me. I think she had tears in her eyes. She's that pissed? MAN! You really blew it this time, Tai.

I was just about to open my mouth to try to stop her from crying. But before a word could come out, she put an index finger on my lips. Then she just hugged me. I could feel my shoulder getting wet by her hot tears. I patted her back a little and then she pulled back. Her eyes were all red and puffy. She could've just rejected me, she didn't have to cry THAT much.

She wiped her eyes a little and then smiled at me. Hold on.. she smiled at me? I looked closer to see if it was a real smile. I was still wondering when she whispered, "I love you too." I can't believe it!!! She actually liked me back! I could tell that my eyes were sparkling.

Without a minute of hesitating, I picked her up around her waist and began twirling around. We finally settled down when we began feeling a tiny bit nauseous. But we were still very happy. We spent the rest of the night sitting down, leaning against a tree and staring at the fire. We giggled for no reason. I know that we weren't supposed to be this happy because Mimi's gone, but still.......
