Mimi sat on Matt Ishida's couch sipping a Mint Julip
as she watched Matt switch through the many channels on the tv.
He didn't seem nervous, he didn't seem calm, and he certainly didn't
look happy.
"So, she slammed the door in your face?" He asked.
Mimi nodded with a sad frown setting her drink down on a coaster on
his glass coffee table.
"Why did Tai tell?!" Mimi puffed out unhappily, folding
her hands into her lap,wringing a tissue between her fingers constructively.
"Hey, I'm in the other room, I can hear what you are saying."
Tai's voice rang out from the kitchen. He was on the phone trying to get
ahold of someone.
Matt forced a weak smile then looked to his friend, Mimi.
"It slipped out at first, and when he didn't tell her everything she got him drunk and forced him to tell her." He said switching the tv off and setting the remote down. His azure eyes gazed around the room boredly to the empty wooden walls. Memories began to rush into his mind about the past summers he, Sora and the kids shared together in bliss.
"That Sora was always sneaky." Mimi tried saying but it came out into a half sob. She took a deep breath in. For once she had really felt that she had lost something very important, not counting the day she had to leave Palmon all those years ago when she was a kid. "Will she ever forgive me?" She asked Matt, looking at him hopefully.
Matt sat there not knowing what to say. He could
A) Lie, totally sugarcoat the truth. B)Don't spare her feelings and give
her the cold hard truth that Sora wouldn't forgive them. or C) Say that
perhaps in time Sora will forgive them and hope that he was right. He didn't
blame Sora for being angry with them, and not wanting to speak to them.
If Sora had done this to him he would close off all contact from her. The
only smidge of a contact he'd have would be their children. The children...
Matt slapped his forehead. He completely forgot that they were coming over
to see him today. Matt leapt to his feet quickly.
"Tai, do me a favor!" He yelled running towards the kitchen. Tai looked
up from the cookie jar he had his hand in, a large stripped chocolate and
vanilla one sticking out of his mouth.
"Mmm what?" He managed to muffle.
"Call Sora, uuhh ask her to meet you in the park and tell her to let Nika, and Sean to walk over." Matt said walking towards his bedroom. He began to undress, ripping at the buttons of his shirt and removing it from his body tossing it on the floor. Sunlight coming in through a window onto his chest. Mimi couldn't help but stare.
'No Mimi, bad mimi. You can't look at him like that. You remember what that lead to last time!' She cursed at herself.
Tai grabbed a few more cookies for the road before muttering. "Ok ok, I'll call her from my house. I owe you for that bloody nose you jackass." As Tai disappeared Matt poked his head out of his room.
"Mimi, hey..won't you come here..we can talk." He
said softly, his expression was sincere with no grin or frown.
Tingles went down Mimi's body as she stood up and began to walk over
to him, unsure of what he had planned. Matt pulled her into the room with
him and pulled her into his arms. Lightly kissing her. Mimi could hear
herself begin to giggle in response, not believing she was doing this again.
"I broke it off with her, for you." He whispered. Mimi jerked her head
up, looking at him in shock.

Tai met Sora at the park, the place where they had
always played together when they were
younger.
She first met him when she was 3 years old. Her
father, mother and she went
there for a picnic. Her father bought her, her first soccer ball for
her birthday and she
wanted to play with it. As she was kicking her ball around under the
trees another soccer
ball flew right at her, smacking her in the side of the head. It knocked
her over onto the
ground and she sat there blinking unsure of what to do. She could cry,
or she could get
back up and dust herself off. A boy around her age with wild brown
hair, deep brown
eyes and creamy tan skin ran over to her. He wore a blue little jumper
suit and was
looking at her concerned. "Are you ok?!" He asked helping her up. "I'm
sorry I didn't
mean to hit anyone with the ball," he said ashamed.Sora bent over and
picked up his
soccer ball handing it to him. "It was a nice hit." She said to him
with a cute little
smile.
The boy blushed and then noticed her soccer ball. "You play soccer
too? Girls don't
play soccer," He asked.
"Yes they can! I would like to. My momma doesn't
really
like me doing that but my dad lets me. He just bought me the ball for
my birthday." She
said picking it up and hugging it to her small form.The boy grinned.
"Happy birthday,girl."
"Excuse me, I have a name…boy." She said indignantly.
"What is it then?"
"I am Sora Tackenouchi." She said shaking his hand.
"Uuh…I am….T-Tai Kamiya." He said shyly.Sora giggled.
"Nice to meet you T-Tai." She teased.He fidgeted nervously, he wanted
to have a comeback but he already began to like this girl. Maybe she could
become his friend.
"Tai, lunch is ready! We're having fried okra pie." A woman's voice
called.Tai looked back.
"That's my mom, I should go. Maybe we can play soccer together
sometime," He said turning. He thought about the thought of eating
okra pie, shuddering
horribly. He then turned around and pecked Sora on the cheek and ran
off as quickly as
he could. Sora pressed a small hand to her cheek shocked. She blinked
and then
screamed.
"Ewww! I got boy cooties!!"
Now here she walked towards him, dressed in a
simple flowered skirt, and a white T-shirt. Her frown showed that she
was a bit depressed
but she kept in her stride a sense of hope. She smiled lightly when
she saw Tai. When she
approached him he took her into a hug that nearly swept her off her
feet. "Is something
wrong, Tai?" She asked looking at him concerned.
"No, not at all. I just wanted to hang out with you."
He said scooting over so she could sit down. She slid down into the bench
next to him. He wrapped an arm around her waist as she leaned the side
of her face against his shoulder, closing her eyes now and then. "Crazy
week we've been having,huh?" He said softly after sometime. She nodded
taking in his cologne scent. It
felt so good just to lie against him, letting him hold onto her. Her
eyelids slowly closed. "I heard about Mimi, showing up at your house…I'm
sorry that your friendship to each other is lost." He started out saying
knowing that he was making this worse for her.
"Don't talk, just hold me." She murmured dreamily
to him.He nodded leaning his chin
down on the top of her head. They listened to the sounds of the park,
children laughing
and playing, sounds of birds and far off music from some teenager's
boombox. Sora's
fingers began to trail down the front of Tai's shirt experimentally.
She opened her eyes
slowly to look into Tai's."I want to leave..but I don't want to be
alone…can we go to your place?" She asked solemnly. Tai appeared to be
shocked but he nodded slowly, gulping.

Tai slammed his door behind him as he was kissing Sora. She had her
legs wrapped around Tai's waist as she held onto his shoulders kissing
his lips. He tossed his keys onto the table as he used one of his hands
to hold onto Sora as he held her walking to his bedroom. He dropped her
gently on his bed and she bounced a little with a giggle. She kicked her
sandals off a little late and breathed in a sigh happily. Tai began to
unbutton his white shirt quickly, trying this so fast that they stumbled
over the buttons several times. He was just as excited as her. Sora sat
up reaching to his shirt beginning to help him quickly. They succeeded
and he tore his shirt off quickly. Her eyes widen in surprised. He had
a very very nice body. His stomach was nice and muscular
with abs visible to the eye. His arms were flexed slightly as he slowly
fiddled with his belt, and she could see his muscles work. She had no idea
how much a treat Tai was. She slowly slipped off her white shirt, breathing
nervously as her chest moved up and down. His dark eyes trailed to her
black lace bra as he slipped his pants off remaining in his black boxers.
He sat down beside her and began to run his lips over her shoulders, nibbling
on her straps. She giggled being ticklish around the shoulders. With a
free hand he removed her skirt, pushing her back down on the bed gently.
"This feels so wrong, but good." She murmured as his lips trailed down
her chest, along her stomach and hips. He then kissed at her lips again
hungrily with a passion that he had saved for her. As she broke away she
nipped at his neck running her fingers along his soft muscular back. His
skin was so warm and she wanted him so much. Nothing could deny that. They
rolled slightly switching spots, so Sora straddled him. She reached to
her back slowly unbuttoning her bra. Tai's phone began to ring and Tai
growled annoyed. He barely had to reach for the cord and yanked on it.
The phone was yanked from the wall and it stopped ringing. Sora grinned
as she pulled off his boxers, slinging them around her index finger.
"This is your lucky night,Kamiya." She purred and threw them behind
her. Tai grinned his child like goofy grin as he leaned up to her for another
kiss.

A little sunlight streamed through Tai's blinds that afternoon. He
opened a brown eye wondering if it had all been a dream but then he glanced
down at the beauty that lay beside him,resting her cheek on his chest fast
asleep. Her arm was slung over his body as she slept and looked peaceful
with a cute smile on her lips. She looked truly happy. Tai smiled
thinking how impossible this had seemed. He never had thought that he could
ever be with Sora like this, it has always seemed like a dream. But here
he was with her now. 'Hehe, thanks Matt for this opportunity' he
thought with the biggest grin he could muster. He never had such a passion
of making love to anyone until Sora. He wondered if she felt the same way.
He hadn't been able to sleep well in a long time but with Sora beside him
he could feel peaceful enough to just drift off asleep again. He leaned
his cheek down against Sora's head as he did fall asleep.
Tai however didn't hear the key jangling in the front door down the
hallway.
"You guys have to see my new Playstation2 game I got. It's called 'The Bouncer' its a really cool game. Even dad plays it against me all the time and I kick his butt." Baijiru said pushing open the door followed by Nika,Sean and a few other kids he knew from school. He shut the door behind them. The kids sat down on the couch and Baijiru saw that his dad's keys were on the table. "Hey my dad's home! Maybe I can ask him to get us some cookies at the store." Baijiru grinned mysteriously.
"We'll come too." Said Nika and Sean. They followed behind Baijiru to Tai's bedroom curiously. They all stopped imediately when they saw Sora sleeping beside Tai, under the covers. Sean's and Nika's mouths dropped open while Baijiru grinned.
"Mommy!" Baijiru yelled happily and Tai and Sora jerked awake. Sora's eyes went wide when she saw Sean and Nika standing there with their mouths dropped open.
"Aw crap.." came from both Sora and Tai at the same time.
