Tear Stained Pages 7

What? Did he just say-

"Yes I said I love," Matt said.

Surprise crossed Sora's face. "H-how'd you know what I was thinking?"

Matt leaned closer. "It was written all over your face."

Sora stepped back. Suddenly she felt as if the floor beneath her feet was spinning.

"Sora are you okay?" Concern flashed across Matt's face.

"I-I don't feel so good. I-" Sora couldn't finish her sentence as her vision became darker and darker till her eyes closed. She could feel herself fall into a pair of strong arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matt watched over the pale girl lying on the couch. Oh Sora…please, please be okay. I'm sorry. I declare my love for you and you faint. Just great, now she'll think it was all a dream or something. A sigh escaped his lips as he stared at her beautiful face…her smooth skin…now pale…

"Ohhh…"

Matt watched as her eyes flutter open. A smile spread over his face at the sight of her eyes.

"Matt?" Sora tried to get up, but she was no match for Matt's arms.

"Oh no you don't. You're still weak, and need some rest. now, I'm going to get your tea, and I don't want you to get up. Understand me?"

"But Matt, I-"

"No Sora," Matt replied firmly.

Sora sighed and let her head rest on the pillow. As soon as Matt left the living room, Sora sat up and slowly planted her feet on the carpet. She put one hand on the couch, and was about to get up when…

"Sora!"

Sora jumped at the voice.

"Didn't I tell you not to get up? Now lay down and don't get up."

"Fine," she replied annoyed. Sora fell back on the couch and crossed her arms angrily.

About a minute later, Matt returned with two cups of tea in his hand. "Here you go madam."

"Am I allowed to sit up, your highness?"

A frown crossed the blonde's face. "Sora…"

"I just thought I should ask," she replied sarcastically.

"Sora, would you stop being so difficult? And yes you can sit up. I'm just trying to do what's best for you."

"I'm sorry Matt. I hate just lying down. Thanks for the tea." She slowly sat up and accepted the cup of tea as Matt sat on the couch in front of Sora.

As she brought the cup to her ruby lips, Matt felt mesmerized by this simple graceful action. He couldn't tear his eyes away from this goddess.

Sora stopped what she was doing, as she looked at Matt. Why is he staring at me? Could it be that it wasn't a dream? Did he actually declare his love for me? No, that couldn't have happened.

"Matt?"

He remained silent and continued to stare at her with this dreamy look on his face.

"Matt? Matt? Matt? Matt!"

"Huh? What?"

"I was trying to get your attention, but you just kept staring at me. Is there something wrong?"

"I'm sorry, but I just couldn't help it."

"Help what?"

"Help but become mesmerized by you."

"W-what?"

A rosy color filled her pale cheeks, much to Matt's enjoyment. Matt got up and walked over to Sora. "Are you finished with that?"

"Huh? This? Why yes. I'm done." She surrendered her cup over to Matt and watched as he left the room. Can it be true? Maybe it wasn't a dream after all.

In the kitchen…

"Come on Matt. Get a grip. You've got to tell her again."

Matt held his head in his hands. I've got to make her see that she didn't dream my confession.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matt walked into the living room with a sly smile on his face.

"Gee Matt, I was beginning to think you got lost in the kitchen."

Matt silently walked to where Sora was seated and kneeled down in front of her. Courage, Matt. Man, I sure wish I had Tai's crest right now.

"Uhh…Matt?" A blush spread across her face as she noticed the way he was staring at her. "What are you doin-"

She was cut off by Matt's finger. He gazed deeply into her eyes. "Shhh…don't speak. Just listen." He moved his finger away from her soft lips and cupped her cheek. "Sora, you weren't dreaming. I did tell you I loved you. You complete me."

Sora was speechless as she recounted his words to her before she fainted. He loves me. Sora was so wrapped up in her thought that she didn't notice Matt leaning closer to her till she felt his breath. "Matt…I love you too. I just never knew how to tell you. But-but I've felt the same way for you for a quite a while."

A smile spread over Matt's face as he heard the words he longed to hear. "Sora, you are incredible. Your beauty, spirit, mind, heart, soul, and-"

"Matt," Sora repremanded. She gazed into the pair of sapphires in front of her. "Why don't you just kiss me?"

"Your wish is my command." And with that, he brought his lips to hers. He could literally feel himself floating.

Sora closed her eyes, lost in the kiss, love, and passion that surged through Matt's body and melted into hers. She felt herself being lifted off the ground. Almost like she was…no she was floating. It was magic. That's what it was.

Sometime during the kiss, Matt ended up on top of Sora and her arms circled his neck as his hands cradled her. They both kissed deeper, not wanting to let go. Passion touched their hearts, synchronizing their beats. Love and friendship encompassed the two, cutting off the world around them and leaving them as the only two beings. Pleasure tickled their senses as they fell deeper into each other.

When they finally managed to part, they stayed for a few minutes, recovering from the kiss.

"Wow. You're amazing, incredible and you're mine. I must be the luckiest guy in the world."

"And I must be the luckiest girl in the world. And Matt?"

"Yeah?"

"How did you end up on me?"

"Uh…" Red quickly painted over Matt's face as Sora's face lit up into a smile. "I'm sorry."

"Sure you are," Sora teased.

"What? You don't believe me? Then maybe I should really give you a reason to believe I'm not sorry," Matt replied slyly.

"Oh? And how might you do that? By kissing me again?" Sora asked innocently.

"But of course."

For the second time, Matt met Sora's lips in another electrifying kiss. And of course, they fell deeper into each other as the world melted away.
