Part III: Revelations
Tai was sitting watching a hilarious comedy show when Kari came storming back into the apartment.
"Tai! Tai, you have to come with me, like now!"
"What the..?" He managed to get out as he was dragged from the sofa and down several flights of stairs.
"Kari, where are you taking me?"
"You're gonna love it, come on."
So he followed her until they came to the foot of the stairs and he saw Sora sitting on a bench looking very tense.
"No. No Kari, not if she's here." He tried to go back up the stairs, but his sister got in his way.
"Tai, the time is right, believe me. Now go and have a talk." She shoved him out of the shadows and into the light where Sora could see him clearly, so he had to go over and talk to her.
*Oh my gosh. What the hell am I supposed to say?* He was thinking as he walked over to the bench. *Does Kari expect me to just blurt it out in her face? I'll just end up making a fool of myself in front of lovely, calm Sora. She looks so beautiful just sitting there, all serene. No, no more negative thoughts. I can do it. I'm Tai, I'm not afraid of anything.* He walked straight over to her and sat on the bench beside her.
"Hi Sora." He said sheepishly.
"Hi Tai." She said equally sheepishly.
"Ok, listen Sora I have something to say."
"Me too. Let me go first."
"No, I'll go first you have to hear this." He wanted to get the embarrassment out of the way as fast as he could.
"No, we'll say whatever it is we have to say together, at the same time. Ok?" She seemed very determined to say her thing, so he agreed.
"Fine, after three. One," *This is it.* "Two," *No turning back now.* "Three."
"I think I'm in love with you." Cried Sora.
"I think I'm in love with you." Exclaimed Tai.
Then they just looked at each other. Tai was the first one to speak.
"What did you say?"
"The same thing that you just said." She had this look of surprise on her sweet face that he loved.
"Wow. You like me? Really?" He couldn't get over the shock.
"Yes, really. And you like me, right?"
"Of course I do." Now he just burst out all of his feelings. "I think I've loved you ever since I first saw you. You were so beautiful, I couldn't help but like you."
"Me too. I loved your confidence and your spirit. You seemed so strong inside, always thinking of others."
"That's what you do. You never think of yourself." He noticed that her eyes were glistening with tears of happiness, one ran down her cheek. He wiped it away with his thumb and stroked her face, it was so soft and smooth. He had always dreamed of this day, now it was a reality. He was so happy inside that he thought he was going to explode.
"Oh, Sora." He was cupping her head in his hands now. Just waiting.
"Oh, Tai." She closed her eyes and bent her head in. This was the moment that Tai had been waiting for. He also closed his eyes and lent in closer. Then it happened, the first kiss. It was slow and warm, and as soon as her lips touched his there seemed to be sparks of emotion connected to both of them. He felt so ecstatic, it was like a puzzle piece had been slotted into the right place again, like he was finally whole. They were together and that was all that mattered. After the kiss was over they both pulled away at exactly the same time and just looked at each other. It was like seeing yourself reflected in another human being. Tai could see into the depths of her soul, and she could see into his, they were both connected forever.
She pulled out of the kiss and breathed a loud sigh of relief. Finally, she had revealed her feelings to the one that she loved. The look in his eyes was the look that she'd always imagined, he seemed shocked, calm, happy and excited all in one stare. She felt as if she knew him better now and that was how they would always remain. It was the best moment of her life so far. The way that he sat there looking at her was enough to make her heart melt, she felt so happy, but suddenly a huge wave of pain engulfed her and everything turned red.
"Owwwww! Tai!" She screamed in agony.
"What's wrong? Sora, speak to me!" The concern in his eyes spoke volumes about his feelings for her.
"I ... don't ... know!" She gasped, "Tai, I ... love ..." She couldn't finish her sentence because at that moment, she blacked out.
To be continued...
Aren't I just awful??!! Sorry for leaving you on the edge like that, but I just had to!
Till next time - Phoenix ^_^
