Sorry
for the delay but w/FF.net down I couldn't get this posted
when I
wanted to so here's this one. My brain has thought of stuff
for the
next chapter but I'm kind of stuck w/them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DominoDS:
Here comes chapter 4, I might have alittle fun with this
chapter.
Hehe. Maybe a little Tai and Sora flirting but who knows.
Sora is
still wondering why Tai wouldn't tell her what was wrong
when He
was driving on their date before so she may use some
ahem
"Tatics" to get him to talk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part
IV: Trouble Comes Easily
"Oh,
you're such a butt head!" Sora exclaimed as she lost the shooting
contest.
"Don't
be a sore loser,Sora." Tai stated taking a bite of his pizza
with a
greasy grin on his lips.
Sora
picked up a napkin and roughly wiped his mouth off. "You cheated!
Acting
like you were gagging and choking, then
falling
to the ground twitching is C-H-E-A-T-I-N-G!" Sora said putting her
hands
on her hips.
Tai
grinned again as people began to watch the two of them have a "friendly
argument".
"Hehe. Too bad you lost Sora. Looks like I win the bet. Yup yup,
I'm the
best who's ever lived." He said folding his arms behind his head.
Sora
stuck her tongue out acting like a 10 year old. She held a smirk on
her
face, not being able to find Tai's acting adorable in its own. Their
kids
were somewhere off in the arcade and Tai and Sora were basically the
only
adults at the arcade. But they didn't care.
"So
what did you want for your wish then,Master." Sora said.
Tai
began to blink. "Erm...perhaps I shouldn't tell you yet. You'd
absolutely
wouldn't agree. Even though it would be breaking the contract."
He said
matter-of-factly.
"No,
tell me what is the "wish"?" she asked curiously.
Tai
reached out at her grabbing her by the waist and pulling her down on
his
lap. She looked a little shocked but she let him do this.
"Well...you'll
start dating me regularly? Y'know.. one of those high school
type of
"going steady" type thingies." He said looking at her seriously.
Sora
began to protest but then she stopped herself. She thought of what
happened
between her and Matt, and how she felt afterwards: like she had
betrayed
Tai. She rested a hand on his shoulder and looked down at his
hopeful
face. "Maybe." She said sincerely. Tai then began to grin.
"You'll
say yes." He said master mindedly.
"Tai!"
Sora said.
"You
will. You will. Ahahahahaha." Tai laughed like he was an evil offender
wrapping
his arms tighter around her waist,resting his chin against her
back.
"Hey you smell good." He said smelling her. Sora giggled batting at
his
hands. Teenagers were looking at them, some with utter disgust and
others
with a grin in spying on some "action".
"Let's
go out tonight too. Just the two of us. We could leave the kids with
Ken and
Yolei or maybe even Kari. She's always watching kids all the time.
I get
to pick the place to night." Tai said speaking quickly.
"Oh...ok.
I'm probably in big trouble down at the corporation for not
showing
up this morning." Sora said worriedly.
"Don't
worry I called in for you saying that you had to go visit your dear
old
sick aunt in Tokyo." Tai said.
"Tai,i
can't believe you lied to them." Sora said like one of those
'nagging'
mothers. Then she grinned. "They really bought it?"
"Yup."
Tai grinned.
===================================================
Tai
frowned as he and Sora walked into a Club that was well-known for their
bar.
Loads of women greeted Tai as he walked past. Some winking while
others
purred at him remembering a specific night they met Tai. He scowled
averting
eye contact from them as he held onto Sora's hand tightly, afraid
that he
might lose her in the crowd. Sora blinked wide-eyed as women gave
her
venomous looks as she passed by. Some women however were so drunk that
they
clicked their tongues at her with desire. They found a booth and Sora
flocked
closer to Tai for protection from some of the drunk watchers. Tai
slid
into the booth sitting across from Sora, his expression showed how
disappointed
he was that they had to end up here for a date.
"I'm
sorry,Sora. I didn't think that 'The Ritz' would close today. I
couldn't
believe that everywhere else was booked up that we'd have to go
here
for a date." He said thumping his knuckles on the table. The Ritz was
a very
popular club, you could only get in if you were "Their Material".
For
some reason "The Ritz" had closed town, maybe to remodel the area of
the
club due to some brawl that happened with a bouncer and a drunk.
"Oh
Tai. Don't worry about it this place looks kind of.....fun." Sora
lied
looking around the club. The place had beautiful old japanese
paintings
along the walls, the ceiling in the center of the club dipped low
a
little only if to make it look like a dragon head. The dance floor was
below
the dragon head,the floor was solid glass and florescent lights were
below
the glass to illuminate the room. The stage next to the dance floor
was
designed to look like something out of a temple. Red steps led up to
the
stage and there were two red and black pillars standing on each side of
the
stage where the sound man had his equipment at. Most of the club looked
like
something out of a glamorous chinese restaurant if it didn't had the
dance
flour in the center of the room. The club was the good part, the bad
part
was where the club was at. Mainly in a bad neighborhood of the city
where
mainly lowlifes and drunks would go to party.
Sora
smiled nervously at Tai. A woman in a strapless leather top and a blue
tight
miniskirt approached the table. She had chin length black hair with
bright
red streaks in here hair,her eyes were decorated with dark blue eye
shadow
at the corners of her eyes. Her lips were deep red and her skin was
very
fair. She would be a woman hard to miss anywhere. Tai's face
immediately
began to flush as his dark brown eyes opened widely in shock.
"So,
Taichi my-pet. What brings you back here. Out to drink your sorrows
again?
Or are you here to have some action as usual?" She said in a
seductively
voice grinning at him. Slowly she began to notice that he came
unaccompanied.
She turned her head to look as Sora, and her grin
disappeared.
Sora looked back at her trying not to look intimidated. The
woman
pulled out her note-pad, removing a pen from behind her ear and she
sighed
annoyed. "What do you want?" She asked them. Sora finally figured
out
that she was a waitress here. She slowly glanced at Tai, almost a scowl
at him
as if to ask "Get some action here, hm?" He smiled innocently as
his
face continued to flush.
"Uhh-hehe.
Beer for me and--." Tai began stuttering nervously.
"A
coke will be just fine for me." Sora said plainly.
The
woman scoffed at Sora slightly then walked away with a slight giggle.
Sora
immediately jerked her head to look at Tai.
"Come
here often do we?" Sora asked narrowing her eyes.
Tai
began to tug on his collar still nervous,beads of sweat appearing on
his
forehead.
"Well...a
few times...only place to get a good drink really."
"And
some good action." Sora said.
Tai
gritted his teeth, he didn't want to tell her why he had come to this
place
as often as his did but his anger was getting the best of him.
"Oh
well really Sora! It's not like I was in a perfect marriage with
someone
I loved. Its not like I had someone I could go home to everyday and
kiss.
Or have a nice home cooked meal from. I didn't have the perfect woman
and
take her for granted like Matt did! And its not my fault that my own
friend
stole someone I loved! That I knew I couldn't live without!" Tai
snapped.
His shortly trimmed nails were digging into the table as he had
said
this to her. He regretted saying this but it had to be said. Tai
slumped
back in his seat frowning,averting his eyes from Sora's gaze to the
salt
and pepper shaker.
They
were both quiet for a little while, each not knowing what to say.
Sora
finally cleared her voice and spoke.
"Tai,
I'm really sorry. I had no idea and I had no right to be angry at
you.
But you're wrong...it wasn't the perfect marriage. And he didn't take
me for
granted because I wasn't a good enough wife." She said her voice
quivering.
Tai
jerked up immediately taking her hands in his.
"That's
not true! You were better, and still are. You are the perfect woman
for any
guy, and lowlifes like Matt and I don't deserve you." He said
scooting
closer to her.
"Oh
Tai, you're such a liar." She cried as he reached over to hug her. The
waitress
from earlier rolled her eyes as she set down their drinks and
walked
off.
"Did
you ever...with her?" Sora asked Tai,getting a squeamish look on her
face.
Tai
smiled innocently. "It's better never to ask."
((3
beers later))
(Tai
begins to speak with a slurr)
"Then
I sayz to T.K. "Ifs yous want to dayz (date) *hic* Kari. Thenz yous
gotta
treat her write,unlikes her other ex-hussbandd.
Cuz hes
didn. Then when he didin...I got aholdz of him. And the cops never
foundeded
him againz.' Thenz T.K. left. I think I's almost madeded him
cry."
Sora
giggled watching him. Already 3 times he had fallen out of the booth
in a
drunken stupor and fallen asleep against Sora's shoulder. She now sat
beside
him so she could help hold him up from time to time. She never
wanted
to let him drink so much but she wanted to ask him something that he
wouldn't
have told her any time soon.
"Hey Tai, you remember a couple days
ago when we were driving to the
resturaunt
and I mentioned Mimi how you began to act oddly?"
"Yeth?"
replied.
"What
what is it that you don't want me to know."
He
signaled for her to come closer and she scooted close enough to feel his
breath
on her neck.
"You
won't likez this...but...Mimi has been sleeping with Matt the day you
twoz
decided to call its quits. Matt waz tellin me that he began to gets
feelings
for her whenz she visited here from New York a fews months ago and
theyz
didn' wants to hurt you."
He said
as his brown eyes were watering.
Sora
stared at him in horror. He was right,
she didn't like this one bit.
Her
amber eyes began to well up in tears while her jaw trembeled.
Pain...thats
all she felt...and anger. She gripped the table beginning to
hypervenilate.
Her only thought was how bad she wished Matt was here so she
could
do something about this. She stood up immediately her tears
disapearing.
"Tai,
get in the car, we're going to Matt's."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OoohOooh
Oooh...Hehe where there be a big fight?
What's
going to happen at Matt's?
What's
going on in Sora's mind right now?
What's
Tai going to do once Matt finds out he told Sora?
Maybe I
should stop asking questions and shut up.
Stay
tuned for chapter 5. This is going to be longer than I thought.
but
just as long as its good I'm sure some ppl won't mind
