Deep Down in the Heart

Chapter 3

At last!







" Mimi, do you still love me? " He asked.

" I'm… I…" I was shocked, and tears of stream flowed down my cheeks.

"Mimi… I'm sorry." He stammered.

" I love you," I whispered, and gazed at his blue eyes. They got large and surprised, but soon filled with happiness. We moved closer together…

After a couple of minutes of kissing, Matt asked,

" Umm, so are you going to break up with Tai?"

" Yeah, I guess I have to," I sighed. " You have to give me some time, cause I still like him. But I like you more," I quickly added, and gave him a big hug.



TAI'S POV

"Why are they taking so long?" I wondered. " I don't really like the idea of Sora and I alone, I mean, something is weird. Wait, do I…? No!!" I reminded myself sharply.

"It can't be!! I don't like her! I like Mimi…" I reminded myself over and over again.

" Tai! Tai?" Sora shook me gently.

" Huh? Sorry!" I was beginning to blush. I turned away quickly. "Man, what is wrong with me? I usually don't blush around any people. Do I really…?!" I thought.

"Tai, maybe we should look for them," Sora suggested, and waited for an answer.

SORA'S POV

"Why does my heart beat so fast? Just because I'm alone with Tai doesn't mean he's mine," I thought sadly, as I looked at Tai, with his big ball of brown hair. I actually thought Tai was really cute, especially with that glob of hair. Every time he brushes his hair with his hands, I'll go crazy!

" Tai? Tai!" I was worried, something was wrong.

" Huh? Sorry!" he replied blushing.

" What? He was blushing? BLUSHING? At me?! No way!" I thought I was going to die. But I quickly pushed the thought out of my head.

" Tai, maybe we should look for them," I suggested.

" Let's wait. We don't know where they went, and if Mimi comes back then she won't find us," he said and grinned. " Hey Sora, you look pretty cute when you are worried."

" OMG!! Why did I say that to her? It looks like I want to flirt with her!" the boy thought.

" I thought I was going to explode!! He said I was cute!! CUTE! I was happy. But I only know he was joking, he was one of my best friends. Best friends. Or could it be more?" I wondered. I suddenly have the urge to tell him how I feel. I think he has something for me too. I know it. Why else would he blush?

"Tai…" I said, and caught him in the arm.

NORMAL POV

"Tai…" Sora said, as she caught hold of Tai's arm. He quickly looked back.

"Huh?"

"Tai, I…" Sora started to hesitate but kept on going. "Tai, I have something to tell you." Sora heaved a sigh; her heart was beating ferociously. " I wanted to tell you that I liked you since the first day in the digiworld. I should have told you. The day you were going to stop Darkskullgreymon, I stopped you because I was afraid that you would get hurt. After all you are the leader. I know I should have told you. But Mimi beat me to it before I did. She told me how she felt about you, and I thought that if I told her that I like you too then it'd hurt her feelings. Oh Tai! I love you so much!" Sora rushed forward and hugged Tai. She had her arms around his neck, and he slowly made his hand around her waist. When they let go, Sora naturally leaned in closer. She guessed that it was no problem, because Tai leaned in and gave her a kiss. It was a sweet and passionate kiss. As if sensing something, Tai quickly jerked away, and saw Mimi and Matt gaping at them.

MIMI'S POV

"Hey look! There they are!" We were just in time to see that Sora and Tai kissing. I sorta felt happy and relieved, since I have to have a reason to breakup with him. I winked at Matt, who returned with a smile.

" I'm going to pretend to be mad at them and then break up with Tai, k? I whispered, and gave Matt a side way smile, and started gaping at them. Matt got the cue, and did what I did. As if he knew, he jerked out of the kiss, and looked straight at me. I can't help but get a little bit mad at him, thinking he got over me in that short period of time. How long was I gone for? Half an hour maybe. So it wasn't hard giving him the "OMG" LOOK.

" Mimi! It's… it's not what you think!" Tai took one last look at Sora, and ran after me. I can't help it, but to make it look like I was really mad, I turned around and walked away. Before walking away, I gave Matt a reassuring smile and walked away. My walk turned into a run. I was outside of the mall, when I heard a voice.

"Mimi! Mimi wait!" Tai shouted, his chest heaving from running. But he was quick, since he was on the soccer team.

"Mimi… I'm… I'm… so sorry. It's not what you think…" he tried to explain.

TAI'S POV

My heart was full of guilt, as I chased after Mimi.

"Mimi, I'm…I'm so sorry. It's not what you think." I tried to explain after I caught up with her. All that hard work off of soccer was worth it.

" Mimi…" I trailed off, don't know what to say.

"Tai, tell me… do you still love me?" She whispered.

"I… yes I do." I looked into her beautiful chestnut eyes.

"No you don't! You like Sora now, I know you do!" her voice was harsh. I could tell by her voice that she was hurt. I leaned in, and I was surprised that she would let me kiss her.

" Well, I guess this is goodbye." Mimi whispered, and turned to leave.

" No! Mimi!" I said.

" Tai! Don't you understand? Even if we are still together, we won't be happy! Because of Sora. Even if she doesn't like you, she's still a threat to me! And plus…" She trailed off. " I don't know if I like you anymore. I like… Matt." She said that part slowly hesitating.

I think I stopped breathing. One part of myself wanted to fall apart and one part of me feel relieved. I'm so confused.

"Tai, I still like you, you're sweet and all, but I like Matt. I liked him ever since the first day in the digiworld. He started to leave everyone else out, so I started liking you. Tai please understand. I know you… you probably still like me, but I know the real one you like, the one you love, is Sora." And with that, she leaned in and gave me a soft kiss on the lips. Her lips were gentle, and it tastes like cherries. That was a memory I will never forget. She pulled away. "Still friends?" she asked.

"Yeah! Of course!" I nodded.

"Come on! I'll help you ask Sora out!" She practically dragged me back in the mall. The same old Mimi.

NORMAL POV

"Oh Matt! Maybe we should go after them," Sora said tearfully.

"Hey no sweat! Mimi won't be mad at you! She was just playing around." Replied Matt, who doesn't really care.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Sora was curious. So Matt told her the story from beginning to end, not missing any detailed part.

"Mimi likes you?" Sora was surprised. "Wow! Even I don't know that." But if she likes him, then… her thoughts were interrupted when…

" Sora! Sora!" Mimi shouted, Tai running behind her.

"Mimi! I'm so sorry! I'm totally out of it today." Sora cried, and gave Mimi a big hug, tears running down her face. Mimi laughed.

"It's alright. Tai and I got it sorted out. Right now he has something to ask you." Mimi stepped out of the way.

"What?" Sora was taken by surprise.

"Sora, will be my… will you go out with me?" Tai blushed. Mimi and Matt smiled; Matt had his arms around Mimi.

"Oh my god!" Sora was too surprised, startled, and a little bit happy.

" I… uh…" She looked at Mimi, who just nodded and motioned her to say it.

" YES!" Sora finally spit it out. Tai gave one of his biggest grins, and he picked Sora up, spinning her around. Mimi and Matt just smiled, and kissed.

" Umm, maybe we should go shopping now?" Mimi asked, who was getting impatient. Everyone laughed.
