'Sora...' Tai thought in a daze. 'I can't believe it's her...'
This was the girl that he had used to sing about. Dream about. This was the girl he used to love...
Sora grinned happily. "It's been a long time, Tai. I can't believe that you're actually...well, you know...here."
"Same goes for me."
"How long has it been anyway? Five, six years?"
Tai looked away, his ego slightly hurt. How could anyone, especially Sora, have forgotten so long about him...him?...
"Sora. It's been nine years."
"Nine? Are you sure? That's an awful long time. I know I haven't been out of touch for that long..."
"Well face it sweetie. You have," Tai said coldly.
"Tai? I thought you would be, like, oh I dunno, happy to see me? Obviously I was wrong. Um, waiter? Check please."
Tai remained silent, then sighed. He plastered on a fake grin.
"Okay Sora. You're right. Uh...it was just the hangover talking...from last night..."
"Huh?"
"Okay you know about Matt and his band right? I mean, dude, he was singing way before you even thought about leaving..."
Sora nodded yes.
"Well they were playing at this ritzy club downtown, and they got free tickets, and of course I got one..." Tai couldn't resist a smile.
"Of course."
"So we went in, I danced a little, and then I met..you."
Sora laughed. "What a romantic place to meet, huh?"
"What do you mean, 'romantic'?"
"Come on, Tai. I mean, you know we used to date. Our whole school knew we used to date. Heck, even my mom knew we used to date. And that's really...something."
"Yeah. That was."
Sora laughed again. "Poor Chris-san was chased down the street with a watering hose. I mean, my mom...I love her, Tai, I really do...but she is definitely a raving lunatic when it comes to, well, certain things..."
"So Sora."
"Yeah?"
"What happened between us?"
Sora stopped smiling, and a tiny line formed between her eyebrows. "You know what happened. I mean, why even bring it up?"
"Because I want to know."
"Please. You do know."
"No Sora. I don't."
Sora sighed and fiddled with her napkin. The waiter watched them curiously as he slapped the check on the small table.
"Okay Tai. I went to college. End of story."
"We planned our lives together Sora. Why'd you back out? And why didn't you ever write back?"
"Because...I had a lot of homework?"
"Why are you asking me."
Sora coughed. "I mean, because I had a lot of homework."
"Ha ha. You were always SUCH a good liar Sora," Tai said sarcastically. "Come on. You had a lot of other things too, huh Sora? Like boyfriends..."
"Why would you care? We were hundreds of miles apart...it was not like it would have made any difference..."
Tai sighed. "You were cheating on me."
"WHAT?"
Tai rubbed his ear, then repeated bravely, "You were cheating. On me."
Sora put her hand on Tai's forehead. "Are you feeling okay? Hallucinating maybe? I think this drink is spiked..." Sora replied, staring at Tai's small glass of wine.
"We never officially broke up, you know." He swore a little beneath his breath, then continued. "I mean, at least not before college. And plus, I still...loved you."
"But not anymore, right?"
Tai sighed. "Not anymore, Sora."
Sora breathed a sigh of relief. "Tai, I'm really sorry. I mean, about all the pain I've caused you and stuff. I didn't know..and plus," she added, her expression suddenly changing, "I had my reasons."
"Oh really?"
Sora tried to ignore the sarcasm in Tai's voice and smiled as cheerfully as she could. "So...friends?" She extended a her hand over the table.
Tai glanced warily at her hand. Then touched it ever so slightly with his fingers.
"Friends."
"Good. I'm glad. Cuz we've got nine years to catch up on and only half an hour to do it."
Tai stared at her in disbelief. "You want to catch up on all that's been happening for the last DECADE??" He cursed himself for sounding so stupid.
"Why not? You go first. Who do you hang out with, who's your girlfriend, blah, blah, blah. You know, the usual yadda yadda."
"I don't really hang out with anyone. I have a job. Don't have a girlfriend...yet," Tai added. "Sometimes I see Matt. And Kari. But no one else."
"No one else?"
Tai nodded. "So what about you?"
Sora suddenly blushed. Tai looked at her in disbelief. 'No way,' he thought. 'Maybe...maybe...she still loves me...'
But her next words were about to change the course of his entire life.
"Tai. Guess what. I'm engaged..."
