Author's note: Oh well… this part of the story has come a
little too late… so fans out there, sorry to have kept you waiting! My cousin,
Priscilla, has helped me MILLIONS in this part, and I thank her for it. So…. That's
about it. What are you waiting for? Onward… and ENJOY!
"What the
hell are you think you're saying? How can you call me a bitch? Speak for
yourself! Just because I accidentally deflated your basketball, you get so mad?
Why don't you just get a life?" Kari said, while throwing a perfume bottle at
him.
"Get a
life? How can you say that? …. You bitch!" T.K. bellowed. And with that, he
managed to dodge Kari's rouge and stormed out of the room.
Kari
slumped down on a chair and folded her arms stubbornly. 'Who cares about T.K
being angry? Well, I certainly don't!' she thought; now standing up, arms
akimbo. However, she thought of how
T.K. used to care for her, how T.K. used to caress her hair affectionally.
T.K. walked
along the dimly lit streets, thinking about the way he had shouted at Kari. He
wanted so much to apologize to her, to hug her and said that he was sorry. Then
he thought of the way Kari had shouted at HIM. Thinking of that, T.K. got
angry, too. I'm sorry, Kari, but this time, you have gotten too far.
Kari
was still pissed of at T.K. She was still pondering about how she could get
back at T.K. for shouting at her like that. Suddenly, a brilliant idea came
into her mind. She saw Davis at the barbecue pit and pulled him over to a
deserted corner.
"Whoa,
Kari, what's up, babe? What do you want from me? A date? Hmmm?" Davis asked
excitedly. "Don't even think about it. I just need your help on something…"
Kari said, rolling her eyes. Then she told Davis about her "PLAN A"… "What?!
What do you think I am? A substitute for good ol' T.K.? No way, man! Gross!"
Davis protested, in anger.
"But, Davis…" Kari pleaded, pursing her lips, pleading him
with her puppy dog eyes, hoping to convince Davis. "Oh well…" Davis considered…
"It's so hard to resist such a lady like you, Kari… and anyway, I have got a
free date for myself anyway. So…. Alright! I'll do it! But only for your sake…"
Davis replied with a wink.
"Yeah…
so Terra? Will you please help me?" T.K. asked sincerely, crossing his fingers,
hoping she would agree. "So… this is for Kari, huh? Oh well… whatever. So what
time will it be?" Terra answered. "Thanks… Terra. It will be at this Sunday; at
6 p.m. I'll come fetch you, ok?" T.K said, in relief. After hanging up, he put
the phone back onto the cradle. Thanks a million, Terra Tomoko, I owe you one…
Therefore,
Sunday was the night when two couples came along, almost surprisingly…
"So…
I figured you really like Kari, huh?" Terra asked, after dinner with T.K. T.K.
shrugged, not willing to reveal his real feelings for Kari to anyone yet. He
wanted to wait for them to really get together first. "Hey! I have an idea! Why
don't we go to the park to chill out? Maybe we'll meet someone…"
"Hey,
Kari! Let's go to the park! Or not, let's watch a midnight show? Or else, we
could hang out at my place and rent some videos as well?" Davis blubbered out
anxiously, after sharing a definitely unromantic meal with Kari. "Davis, why
the hell are you so desperate? Anyway, I don't feel like watching a midnight show
or going to your place to watch some gory action-packed movies. That's so not
me, Davis. Shouldn't you know me by now? Well… the park seems nice… let's go
there, then. I don't mind. Just don't get cranky or horny and start holding my
hand or something." Kari said, trying to hold her boredness. "Ok!" Davis
agreed, not noting the boredness in her tone.
Walking
along the path, T.K. was thinking silently about Kari. Thinking about her
smile, thinking about her soft chestnut brown hair, and those chocolate eyes
that could make him melt directly on the spot. Sigh, how did they arrive at
this horrible stage? 'I love her; we could've been together…' Then, he saw
something that made him churn inside. He saw Davis and Kari, together! 'That
jerk', he thought, and quickly took hold of Terra's hand. Terra appeared
shocked but calmed down almost instantly when she saw Kari and Davis
approaching them.
Kari
was walking and thinking steadily about her beloved T.K. ''I don't have a
choice, T.K. but to do this. Please forgive me, T.K. I love you so… but I don't
think we will have any chance of us getting together.' Kari thought, miserably.
Just then, she saw T.K., holding Terra' hand?! What!? She couldn't believe her
eyes. She didn't want to lose out to T.K., so she held Davis's hand as well,
wincing a little at his oily hands. Davis got so shocked that he nearly
fainted. Then, he stuck out his chest, feeling so proud, and wanting to show
off Kari as his 'girlfriend'. Kari wanted so much to let go of his horribly
sticky and oily hand, but she knew that she should hold on to get T.K.'s
attention. So… the two "lovey-dovey'
couples walked along the same path, approaching each other. And… you would
never believe what happened next. They walked past each other without saying
anything! However… just wait and see…
'How could he NOT say anything?! What a jerk!" Kari
thought, anger rising in her. 'Didn't she see us? Hello? We are like, passing
each other without saying a word???" T.K. thought. Then, they both turned
around and looked at each other angrily. "How could you…" Kari and T.K. both
exclaimed loudly in unison. They looked at each other in surprise. It was Davis
who broke the silence, believe it or not. "Hey… babe… where have you been these
years? What's this hot girl's name, T.A.?" T.K. was so shocked by this sudden
outburst by Davis that he just kept quiet and looked down at his brown suede
shoes, not knowing what to do. Terra
walked over to him, smiling a seriously strange smile and said coolly, "Hey…
hunk. My name's Terra Tomoko. You seem very hunky, however you're not my type!
How could you seduce Kari like that? You jerk! Is that lipstick you're
wearing?" With that, she slapped Davis on the cheek and ran off. "And your
information, his name is T.K!!!" she ran off, laughing. Davis stood there, with his mouth open and
then he gave chase, shouting out, "You bitch! I did NOT seduce Kari, for your
information! It was SHE who came to ME about this T.J. or whatever!"
At that instance, Kari and T.K. both smiled a very shy smile.
None of them knew what to say to each other. Then, T.K. raised his head up and
started to break this uncomfortable silence. "Kari… I'm really sorry… I didn't
mean to hurt your feelings by scolding you just because of one stupid
basketball. And I'm sorry… for using Terra to spite you… but all I did was for
something and someone. It's… you, Kari. Kari… I've waited for this day for so
long; my heart aches for you. please do not doubt me of my feelings for you.
And since this day has arrived, I shall tell you what I really feel inside of
me. I… love… you, Kari… I really do." And he blushed, looked down and crossed
his fingers, hoping that Kari would say the answer he wanted to hear for so
long.
'What? T.K. loves me? Am I just hearing things, or is this
true?' Kari pinched herself softly and was delighted when she felt the
slightest tinge of pain. "T.K…" she started, "I was not aware of your feelings
till now. I thought we were just friends… although every time we touched, I
felt electricity surging through me, I never knew you would feel the same about
me. Well… I just wanted to tell you that… I love you as well, T.K., very much.
More than I can even admit to myself." Kari mumbled, wondering if T.K. could
hear her clearly. T.K. heard it loud and clear and those words rang in his mind
and heart. He raised his head once more, and their eyes met. T.K.'s azure eyes
met Kari's chocolate brown eyes and then… need I say more? T.K. ran to her and
hugged her close to him, never wanting to let go. Kari smiled and hugged T.K.
back, even tighter, still. T.K. was such in bliss, he felt he was in heaven,
and he was sure that Kari felt the same as well. Then, under the moonlight, the
two of them embraced and kissed each other lightly on the lips; pure bliss
shooting through them.
