Notes: Thanks for all of the comments.
I know the first two chapters are kind of slow, but the plot will move
more quickly after this. I hope to get
the next few chapters written soon.
Thanks for reading.
Chapter
2
Matt's POV:
I
glared at Tai, who did he think he was saying hi to my girlfriend before I
did. I mean they had just done the
classic thing that couples did at airports, running to each other, crying and
stuff. I sighed.
"Hey,
Sora. I've missed you," with that I
gave her a hug and lead forward to kiss her, but she pulled away. Ouch, rejected after six weeks of not seeing
her. Then I saw Mimi, and God she
looked gorgeous. She was saying hi to
Tai, and then she turned and came over to me.
"Nice
to see you again Matt," she said giving me a hug.
"It's
great to see you Mimi. Man you look
great."
"Thanks,"
she said turning a little pink.
Looking
at Mimi I remembered how beautiful she truly was and how much I had liked her
before she moved away. Mimi would be a
great girlfriend; of course I already have the best girlfriend in the world,
even if she seemed a lot happier to see Tai than me. Mimi was the type of girl would make all of the guys in my bad
really jealous. They were jealous of me
for going out with Sora in the man, how on earth did you get this caring,
smart, funny, and beautiful girl to go out with you. They would be jealous of Mimi and me in the man, how did you get
this girl to talk to you, let alone date you way. I know there is more to Mimi than looks. But, it doesn't matter because there is only
one girl for me and she is standing right by my side. I turned my head to smile at Sora. Okay, she is walking to get the bags with Tai, but she's still
the girl for me. Even if they are
walking really close together, to close.
Mimi's POV:
I
watched Sora and Tai head toward the baggage claim, they looked really
happy. Matt on the other hand looked
really angry. I sighed; it would be
better for everyone if Sora just admitted that she liked Tai. She only called Matt twice while staying at
my house. On the other hand she called
Tai every other day, and the days she didn't call him he called her. Of course she insists that she and Tai are
just "really good close friends," Mabey Sora thinks that she likes him only as
a friend but it's obvious to any one with two eyes and half a brain that she
likes him as more that that.
"Come
on lets get your bags," Matt said interrupting my thoughts. I followed him to the baggage coracle. Looking at him I realizing that he is still
drop dead gorgeous. I had the biggest
crush on Matt before I left for New York.
I never in a million years thought that he would like me back. Then the night before I left Sora threw me a
huge goodbye party. I was thrilled
when Matt had offered to walk me home after it was over. At door to my apartment building under the
stars, he told me that he liked me and was sorry that I had to move half way
across the world. Then he leaned down
and quickly kissed me right square on the lips turned and mumbled "goodbye,"
and ran away. It was my first kiss, and
even though I've had better ones than that, I admit that I felt something I've
never felt with any boy; I wonder if he felt something to.
We
finally caught up with Tai and Sora, who had already grabbed most of the
suitcases. Matt took some more, but
then I had to actually carry some. I
asked Sora if we could get a porter, but she said they only took luggage to the
gate. So I had to carry my own stuff to
the car. Of course on the way there I
managed to break a nail, form now on I get someone else to do all of the manual
labor. I wasn't really listing to what
everyone was saying on the way home, I was pretty busy deciding how I would fix
my self. I had 9 long pink nails, and 1
short ugly one. Then I heard Tai say
the name "Joe" and I was interested.
"What
about Joe," I asked.
"Weren't
you listing? Joe's a lifeguard at the
beach and were going to visit him at work the day after tomorrow," was Matt's
answer.
While
laughing I managed to say, "Joe's a lifeguard?" I really couldn't picture him
saving any one. I could see him
spending the day wondering if he was using a strong enough SPF.
"It's
a good job for him because he knows CPR and all that other life saving
stuff. Plus, he can swim and would make
sure nothing ever happened to any one," replied Tai.
"I
guess your right." I was glad that we
weren't going tomorrow because that gave me time to get my nail fixed.
Tai's POV:
Knocking
on the door, I looked back at my jeep wondering how we were going to fit two
more people in there, along with the suitcase full of stuff that Mimi probable
needed before going to the beach. I was
glad that Kari had decided to ride over with TK, and Matt, but I was still
taking Izzy, Mimi, and Sora, along with enough junk to stay at the beach for
six days, not six hours. Sora answered
the door, and she took my breath away.
She was dressed really plainly, jean shorts, a maroon tank top, and a
pair of black flip-flops, still she looked beautiful. I was also gad to see that she had one reasonable sized bag with
her. Then Mimi came running to the
door, she was wearing a pink bikini with white flowers all over it and one of
those matching skirt things.
"Oh,
good your finally here Tia, now you can help me carry my stuff," with that Mimi
handed me a radio, and a large heavy bag.
"Good
to see you to Mimi, nice nails."
"Oh,
the lady at the solon just fixed it right up, you can't even tell that's a
fake."
"Aren't
they all," Sora said. Mimi glared at
her; I tried to hide my smile.
"No
my nails are real, long, and pretty, not like yours. Now can you please carry my other bag so I don't brake another
one."
Sora
opened her mouth to say something.
Seeing that this could turn into an hour-long argument about nails, I
quickly interrupted reminding them that we would never get a spot on the beach
if we did not leave now. With that Mimi
carefully picked up her bag and walked towards the car. Sora and I followed her.
We
arrived at the beach just in time to see Matt, TK, and Kari setting up a spot
near Joe's lifeguard chair. Mimi and
Sora ran up to them hugging Kari and TK after being gone for so long. Izzy and I got to carry all of the chairs,
blankets, and bags. Once everything
Matt decided that he had to go swing and that Sora should come with him. She protested a little but finally striped
down to her swimsuit and hand in had they walked towards the water hand in
hand. Let me just say that it was a
good thing that I was sitting down, because one look at Sora in her bikini,
would have made me fall right into the sand.
She truly looked like a goddess.
I have to admit, that I like Sora, in amore than best friends forever
kind of way. I always thought that I
would have time to tell her how I felt, and I was just waiting for the right
moment. The right moment came for Matt
to ask her out, and it was the right time for her to say yes. Of course if I had told her during one of
the hundreds of times that we were alone together, I can't help but think that
would be me in the water, with her instead of sitting on the sand here, by
myself. Or not completely by myself, I
thought turning my head to see Mimi looking at me with a weird expression on
her face.
Annoyed
I asked, "What?"
"Nothing,
I was just thinking."
"About?"
"How
sometimes people who act all brave, don't have the courage to say certain
things to certain people," with that she got up and went over to where
everybody else was, leaving me really alone this time.
Joe's POV:
I
smiled as I saw Mimi walking towards us.
TK, Izzy, and Kari were talking about the welcome back party that Izzy
was throwing for Sora and Mimi. I
wasn't really listing I was watching the people swimming, while my partner; AJ
got us some thing to drink.
Mimi
stopped and said, "Hey guys what's happening?"
"Oh,
were just talking about the party that Izzy is going to throw for you," replied
TK.
"I
get a party, when, where?"
"At
my house, my parents are on their second honey moon, so the apartments mine for
the week," replied Izzy
"It
was going to be at my house, but I'm in trouble for missing my curfew a few
times last weeks, so my parents said no way," Kari commented.
"And we all know why you
were late," teased Izzy. TK and Kari
both turned tomato red.
"I
can't believe you guys are throwing us a party, you're the best friends
ever. I've got to tell Sora." with that
Mimi ran of to find Sora. Izzy went to
see what was up with Tai, and TK and Kari decided to go for a swim. I just sat there thinking about Mimi. I had the hugest crush on her before she
left for New York, but I never got to tell her how I felt. I knew how she felt about Matt, and well I
am no Matt. But, know he and Sora are
together, so maybe I should tell Mimi how I feel. She looks great today.
