On a night like this

Chapter four

" Is that it ?" Sora asked blankly,

" What do you mean is that it !" Yolei suddenly wailed standing on the sofa, throwing her arms into the air, " I can't believe you wouldn't tell us something so HUGE MIMI! I mean come on Kari was bad enough, but you've waited a Month ! A MONTH! YOU'VE BEEN DATING MATT FOR A MONTH !"

" Yolei calm down," Kari said gently pulling her friend off of the couch,

" Sorry, but come on Mimi how couldn't you tell us,"

" I wanted to I really did want to, but it's Matt. He's got this thing about being shy about relationships. I don't know why. If it were up to me I would of told you all as soon as it happened,"

" But is up to you Mimi. It's your life, you can't let matt control what you do,"

" I know and I don't let him control what I do. But he has a right to his private life as well. Anyway it's been a month and I can finally tell you all," She grinned proud that she was finally out in the open,

" Well I have to say I'm not really that shocked," Sora said quietly,

" What do you mean your not shock ! Mimi and Matt have been dating !" Yolei cried still in shock again,

" I mean I've had a feeling about it for a while now,"

" you have ?" mimi asked a little taken a back,

" yeah well me and tai knew there was something going on,"

" You did ?"

" Yeah,"

" how come ?"

" Oh just little things. The way he touches your arm when he talks to you. The way he stares at you in chemistry class. Just little things, tai pointed it out first. so we've been giving you to a lot of alone time," Sora grinned mischievously,

" I can't believe you didn't tell me you knew," Mimi exclaimed,

" Well we figured if you didn't want us to know there was no point in asking,"

" Thanks Sora," Mimi smiled at her kindly,

" No problem,"

CRASH ! The white apartment door suddenly flew open with a loud bang as it hit the refrigerator,

" Huh ?"

" What's going on ?"

" TAI WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE !" Kari suddenly screamed, jumping off the floor and glaring at her older brother.

Tai grinned at the four girls as he stumbled into the apartment.

" We've come to join the party !" He shouted a little to loud.

" YEAH PARTY!" Matt screamed as he stumbled through the door after Tai, throwing his arms into the air,

" Oh no, they're drunk," Sora groaned rubbing her temples with her fingers. Tai, Matt and Beer were always a very dangerous combination and it normally meant she had clear up what ever mess they got themselves into.

" Tai get out !" Kari hollered,

" Why should I ? This is my apartment too you know. And I can have my friends around as well," He swayed slightly as he spoke to her,

Suddenly Izzy, Joe, Davis and ken all bundled through the doorway, Izzy tripped over falling flat on his face, causing all of the other boys behind him to land on top of him,

" Oh god ken not you too," Yolei whined placing her hands on her hips sternly,

He grinned stupidly at her from the top of the pile of bodies.

" Tai you said you would stay out tonight. YOU PROMISED !" Kari yelled,

" Oh, did I ?" He muttered as he walked in a wavy line across the room to Sora. He placed his hands around her waist and pulled her pelvis against his.

" Tai this Isn't fair. You did promise Kari you'd stay out tonight," She whispered as he tried to run his hand up her top, she grabbed hold of his hand and gently pulled it out. She knew when Tai was like this it was best if she was gentle at putting him down, or else he would start to cry.

" But I wanna say with oo," He mumbled as his words started to slur,

Matt banged his beer bottle on the kitchen counter as he took the last mouthful. He whipped the back of his hand across his mouth and reached out his arm to Mimi. She placed her hand in his and he pulled her swiftly across the wooden floor.

" You know what Mimi, you know I love you don't you," he whispered into her ear as he wrapped one arm around her,

" Yeah I know, but does everyone else ?"

" Guess so, well they do now,"

He spun her around and drew her into a steamy fiery kiss,

" Matt your breath taste like beer," She cringed as she pulled away from him,

Yolei held out a hand to Ken to help him off the collapsed human pyramid. He kissed her gently on the cheek. Even when he was drunk Ken was always the perfect gentleman.

" Oh you guys this so unfair !" Kari yelled, " This is a girls sleep over ! Now unless you are a girl I would advise you get out before we start the makeovers,"

" Oh but I want to stay for a pedicure," Davis giggled still lying on the floor,

" Sorry Kari, I told them you would be mad, but they came anyway," That sweet intoxicating voice whispered from the doorway. T.K lingered just inside the door frame looking as though he would rather be falling into a live volcano than enter into the apartment.

Well it didn't look like the other boys were going to be leaving, no matter how much Kari yelled at them. Perhaps this was the perfect chance to clear the air.

She rubbed her lips together and frowned slightly, the expression T.K knew she always used when she was thinking hard about something.

Well he might not look drunk but he probably was. Which meant she could probably talk to him, without him holding back. But maybe she wanted him to hold back. Did she really want to ruin everything they had ever had in just a few minutes. All those years of trust and friendship, washed away because she couldn't keep her feelings bottled up any longer. What if he just came straight out and told her he didn't want to be anything more than friends, not caring about her feelings in his drunken state. She wouldn't be able to bare it if he hurt her like she'd hurt him. What if he was angry with her and tried to hurt her, just to get back at her. What if he laughed and didn't believe her. Or what if he laughed and said he would never want to be with her and then went around telling everyone what she had said to him.

But what if he liked her too.

Sora was right, there was no point holding back for her whole life. It might seem strange and funny to be with T.K, but what if he truly loved her. Like she felt she loved him.

" Uh. . .T.K can I talk to you ?" She asked quietly, she hoped the others were making to much rowdy noise for him to hear her.

" Okay," he shrugged, dammit he had heard.

" In here," She said walking towards her bedroom,

" Oh go girl !" Davis called in a high squeaky voice as he saw Kari leading T.K to her room,

" Get in there T.K !" Matt yelled,

Kari rolled her eyes and tried to hide her flaming red cheeks as she quietly shut her door, softening the shouts and laughs from the living room.

" Hey guys they are engaged it's none of our business what they're getting up to in there," Tai told Davis and matt,

" Engaged ?" Sora asked raising her eyebrows at tai,

" Yeah see T.K said that he wanted to marry Kari, but he didn't think Kari would want to marry him," Joe started to explain,

" So I as Kari's older brother,"

" And I as T.K's older brother,"

" Have betrothed them to each other. we signed a contract and everything on a napkin at the bar," Tai said proudly,

" Poor Kari. I am so glad your not my big brother," Sora laughed,

" Because what we've been doing would be a crime," Tai told her seriously,



Kari sat down on the edge of her bed as he sat on the desk chair opposite her. He looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to start talking. Well it was no or never.

" T.K I hate this ," She mumbled fiddling with the material of her bed sheets,

" Hate what ?" He asked quietly,

" How things have been between us all week. We've hardly said two words to each other,"

" Umm I know,"

" T.K I'm sorry if I hurt you. But I never wanted to push you away. Your my best friend T.K you always have been and I never want to lose you, " She raised her head to look at him properly, " But I don't want to be you best friend anymore,"

A horrible confused frown twisted across T.K's light handsome features,

" Why ?" The words seem to stick in his throat and croak their way out,

" Because. . .I . . .I don't know how to tell you T.K," She could hardly speak above a tiny mousy voice.

" What ? Your to mature for me now ? You would rather be with your cheer leading friends and older boys with cars ? Well what is it Kari !" He started to raise his voice as his anger rose," You know I really did think that you were my best friend! I thought that we were always going to be together, but I guess I was just nieve. I see what you mean, why would a girl like you want to hang out with a little boy like me? You know I have been to embarrassed to talk to you Kari, this past week. We really have just fallen apart. Well fine if you don't want to see me anymore I don't want to see you either," he stood up and pushed the wheeley computer chair he had been seated on across the bed room floor.

" Becauseiwanttobeyourgirlfriend," She said it so quickly she could hardly understand her self. She hadn't been able to keep it in any longer. She hated it when T.K was mad. He had never shouted at her like that, she didn't know whether it was the alcohol or his true emotions spilling over, that had made him intimidate her. All she knew was that she had to stop him.

" What . . . .?" the word left his lips like a breath, but she still heard him,

" I don't want to be your best friend, because I want to be your girl friend," She said it slowly and clearly so that she wouldn't have to say it again. She couldn't even look at his face. All she wanted to do was stare into those deep cerulean pools until the sky feel down, but now she knew she would never be able to look him in the eye again.

" Why ?" He asked after a long awkward silence,

" Because I love you," a crystal tear ran down her soft skin and dropped onto to her jumper. She hated crying, but right now she was so mixed up with emotions that she couldn't keep them in anymore. another watery pearl slid down her face and splashed onto her jeans. T.K couldn't see her face but he saw the tears reach her clothing.

He couldn't move, it was as though he had been frozen to the spot. This was unbelievable, he never thought he would ever hear her utter those words. This had to be a dream, a crazy stupid dream. His head felt light and airy, like it did in a dream. The laughter and talking from the living room seemed delayed and slow, like in a dream Well if it was only a dream, he might as well end it how he wanted to.

He sat down beside her on the bed. Shaking he placed a warm tender arm around her waist.

" I love you too," He whispered into her ear. He tucked her soft brown hair behind her ear. She turned her head to look at him, her chocolate eyes were wide with astonishment.

He nodded gently to show her he was serious. She leant closer to him, so close she could feel his warm breath on her face. Shaking with fear, nerves and anxiety he finally moved in and placed his lips on her soft glossy ones.

This had to be for real, a dream could never feel this good.



Yolei leant her head on ken's shoulder as they stared out at the landscape of shimmering lights below the balcony, on which they stood. She was always surprised at how warm ken could make her feel even when the temperature was below freezing.

She knew he liked to be left alone to his thoughts, she had stood with him on the Kamiya's balcony for over an hour, not saying a word. He was probably working out some complicated equation in his head, while she soaked up the romantic mood. It was funny how two people who were so different could be so close.

He could probably go for days with out saying a word. While she found it hard to be silent for ten minutes. But she loved that mysterious aura ken held, never knowing what he was thinking, not entirely understanding him no matter how much she talked to him.

She knew he couldn't talk to anyone like he talked to her. He had told her his thoughts, his dreams, his past. Things that he had never dared to tell anyone else.

" Yolei. . ." His deep calming voice said,"

" Yep,"

" I love you. You do realise that don't you,"

" Of course I do,"

" I just want you to know that. . .well. . . I didn't tell you that because I wanted anything. I just wanted you to know how. . .how I feel,"

" I know,"

" And I'll always be beside you. . .no matter what decisions you make,"

" I know ken,"

" And I . . . I didn't mean to scare you the other day. When we were discussing our relationship,"

" I know Ken. Don't worry you didn't,"

" And I do. . .I do love you Yolei,"

" I know,"



Mimi sat at the kamiyas kitchen table, opposite matt. he carefully sipped a black coffee, because she had nagged at him to sober up. From her seat she could see almost everything going on in the apartment. Davis, Izzy, and Joe sat on the living room floor laughing at a late night comedy sketch show. Kari sat on T.K's lap on the couch with her head pressed against his chest. Kari smiled softly as T.K whispered something into her ear.

Mimi was glad to see them so happy together. she had always known they would make the perfect couple and this little scene in front of her proved it.

Through the glass doors leading on to the Kamiya's balcony Mimi could see ken holding Yolei as they both stared at the city below them. They seemed to be in a different world, oblivious to anyone else but themselves.

Tai and Sora had disappeared into Tai's bedroom a while ago. No one made a big deal about them sneaking off together. It was just a way of life now.

Seven years ago Mimi would have never imagined life would be like this. It's funny how things work out really. She would of laughed if someone had told her tomboy Sora would be spending every night with that loud mouth soccer freak Tai. To think that those two little kids Kari and T.K would become an item. It would seem ridiculous back then, but now she accepted it all as though it was meant to be.

And who would of ever thought she of all people would fall in love with that arrogant, snappy Matt.

But she had. That still surprised her a little when she thought about it.

" See I told you everything would be okay," Mimi said quietly to the sandy haired boy opposite her.

" What ?"

" You shouldn't of been so worked up over telling everyone. It might of been a shock at first for them, but their happy for us Matt. They don't care about who we date,"

" I know. . ."

" So are you going to tell your parents ?"

" I suppose I better, before T.K do's,"

" Good. So my Mum wants to know if you want to come out for dinner with us next Friday,"

" What!"

" She really wants to get to know you,"

" Mimi you said you didn't tell anyone !"

" I only told my Mum. Oh come on Matt I tell my everything,"

" Mimi I can't believe you," he shook his head as a small smile curled the corners of his lips



Sora sighed and let her body relax even more into Tai's warm arms. She rested her head against his strong, bare muscular chest. He stroked her head than let his hand run down her back,

" So did you have fun at Kari's party ?" He asked quietly,

" Ummmm, didn't turn out the way I thought it would though, thanks to her stupid big brother,"

He squeezed her even tighter,

" It was nice to catch up with every one though,"

" Yeah,"

She smiled to herself and closed her eyes. It was true what she had said to Yolei. She did want to be with Tai for the rest of her life. There was no doubt about it.

She could never love anyone with all of her heart and soul like she loved him. Of course she wouldn't tell him for a little while yet. But she was sure he already knew.
