okay. this is probably the worst part of the fic. it's not too boring, just too darn sappy. just a reminder to all you taiora fanatics (it's okay...i'm one too and p-r-o-u-d of it) who have jumped erroneously to the conclusion that i'm trying to break up sora and tai: 1) i said this was a taiora in the summary, 2) there are three (lemme check...six minus three...yes, that's three) more parts of this fic to go. So just hang in there. It speeds up a lot in chapter four. And the chapters get WAY longer. Maybe I'll even have chapter four up tonight. I dunno. Check anyways. :)
oh, and reviews are nice. :) :)
Sora slowly walked to her apartment. She checked her watch. It was one a.m. The woman sighed, then opened her door. She pressed her aching head against the cool wood once it had snapped itself back shut. 'Oh Tai...' she thought.
**************************
Tai glanced at his alarm clock. 1:23 a.m. He couldn't sleep. He had to call Sora. He must have been dreaming...she would never be engaged...at least...not to just anyone...only him...
**************************
The phone rang. Sora slowly clicked her television set off before tentatively picking it up. "Hello?"
"Sora? It's Tai."
"Oh. Tai. Hey." Sora said without emotion. "It's pretty late."
"Yeah, but I figured you wouldn't be asleep."
"Oh really?"
"Uh..yeah...anyway, I just really needed to talk to you..."
"About what?"
"You're not like really engaged, right?"
"Tai. You heard me in the restaurant. I'm engaged."
"To who?"
"To a very rich CEO of a VERY successful company. But then again," and here Sora smiled sardonically, "you could probably care less."
Tai glared at the phone, at a complete loss for words. Finally he managed to give a small wheeze. "Sora? You've really...changed."
"Huh? How so?"
"You used to be so nice, and so...I dunno...loving. And that was why I loved you. You weren't superficial. You were just...you. And now you're totally different."
"So basically what you're saying is that--just because I'm marrying a guy with more money that Bill Gates (a/n: heck, he's not even that rich anymore)--I'm superficial?"
(a/n: i know you guys are tired of me already ::frowns:: but i'm just doing this to tell you people that yes, this is totally out of character but i was trying to write this and study bio at the same time ::dodges some stale popcorn::)
"Sora..."
"Okay. I know what you're thinking. And believe me, I'm not shallow. I care about him, Tai. But like, to tell you the truth, I don't love him. I don't think I ever could..." Sora trailed off and shuddered at the thought of actually loving her fiancee...impossible...he was just so much...(Sora at this point tried to stop herself from thinking further, but failed miserably)...so much unlike Tai...
Suddenly something inside Tai snapped. "SORA!" he screamed into the phone. "You are such a (a/n: um...think witch with a b). Do you even know how much I cared about you? Do you know how many nights I stayed up just thinking about you, about your smile, heck, even your stupid hat? Do you even know why I started clubbing, Sora? Do you know why I made myself dance with women who smelled and drank even though it made me sick? DO YOU? It's because I loved you, Sora. And I missed you. And I needed a way to...to..cover up my pain. You will never, ever, find a man who will love you as much as I did. And now you're just...throwing yourself away on some 50-year-old millionaire who'll probably just have an affair anyway? I don't understand you Sora. I never have, never will. But I used to think that someday..." Tai choked a little.
Sora was silent, then whispered, "Tai, you didn't let me finish. I said I didn't love him, but I...I..care about him. I can't see his life go to waste. He needs a woman in his life, Tai. And the woman he picked was me...I have a responsibility. And you do to. To...respect my decisions. And plus, you're tired. Go to sleep. Call me in the morning..."
Tai didn't say anything.
"Tai...about what you said...I loved you too. But we're older now...and puppy love never lasts..."
Click.
Tai had hung up.
~to be continued~
will tai ever forgive sora? will sora ever forgive tai? will they ever get back together? does the caffeinated author even know what she's trying to write? ::audience wonders whether the writer is on crack::
p.s. chapter four is up. i know, i know. this chapter was corny. but please, you guys, don't get scared away. i eventually regained some of my brain cells after the caffeine kicked in and chapter four didn't turn out all that bad. (i think. :)
