Six o'clock had come sooner than Sora anticipated She was almost ready to go when Tai showed up. Mrs. Takenouchi answered the door to find a well-dressed Taichi outside.
"Well don't you look handsome, Mr. Kamiya."
"Thanks Mrs. Takenouchi. I'm not a big fan of suits." He pulled his collar looser. "Damn these things are tight. So is Sora ready?"
"Sora, I have a very handsome man out here claiming to Tai." Her mom joked. Tai sat down in the living room.
"Just a sec- stupid dress" She had anger in her voice. She walked out of her room trying to get the dress' bust area straight. Tai looked up and was immediately frozen. She was wearing the same long black strapless silk gown her and Kari had found. He saw every curve of her figure. He was mesmerized at the sight. Her hair was tied back tightly in a delicate bun and a black choker necklace accented her slender neck. He gazed at her; she was practically glowing like an angel.
"Alright!" She finally finished situating her dress. "Screw it!" She looked at Tai. It looked like he was off in another world. "What?" She questioned him giving him a funny look. Tai soon came out of his trance.
"Oh, wow." He was blushing. "You look.." He got up and walked over to her. "Like an angel."
"Thanks. But I really hate dresses."
"Ya and I hate tuxes." Sora straightened his bow tie.
"Well shall we go?"
"Yes, we shall. Ladies first." Tai held out his hand. Sora gave him her's and they were out the door.
Tai opened the passenger side door of his compact red Honda car, and helped Sora into the car. He closed the door and then practically skipped around to the driver's side and got in.
They chattered about school on the way to the school's gym. As they walked into the doors, they hardly recognized the gym with all the decorations and lights. The music was blasting and lots of people were there already.
"Hi guys!" Kari shouted to them. "Oh wow- Sora you look great!" She said in awe at her friend.
"Thanks." Sora blushed at the compliment.
"Come on Sora.." Tai whined. "Let's go have some fun." He grabbed her hand and pulled her on to the dance floor. They danced for hours happily in each other's arms.
"Tai, I need a break." Sora told him after a lovely slow song. "These shoes are killing me." He then led her to a table and they sat down to rest.
Suddenly Todd walked up to them. He came out of nowhere.
"Go away creep." Tai said coldly.
Todd ignored him and looked at Sora. "I want to apologize for this afternoon." He handed Sora a rose. "I don't know what came over me. I guess it was because you are so beautiful, intelligent and kind. I… you were the only girl to really get to know me."
"It's ok Todd." Sora said as she took the flower and gave him a friendly hug. "We can still be friends. I mean you are really a nice guy."
"Thanks. I will leave you two alone now. Good Bye." He sadly walked away from the couple.
"Poor guy." Sora sighed. "All he wanted was someone to care about him."
"Ya, but he didn't have to go psycho on you like that." Sora sat in thought, as she smelt the flower. "Sora. Do you want to go? This party is boring." Tai asked.
"Sure."
Tai and Sora exited the gym arm in arm smiling. It was already midnight and the stars were out shining brightly. Tai drove to Sora's apartment. They entered quietly, not to wake Sora's mom.
Tai followed Sora into her bedroom, where she shut the door and they began to talk. Sora was exhausted as she flung her shoes into the corner of the room.
"Sora. You are so beautiful. Not just tonight, but always. I feel so… happy when I'm near you… I love you so much." With that they began to passionately kiss. Tai caressed her soft skin as Sora drew closer to him. They both sat down on her bed. In the heat of the moment Tai laid Sora on the bed and began to nuzzle her neck affectionately. His hands went to her back and began to unfasten her dress. Their hearts beat faster and faster. Tai was wildly kissing her. When he noticed she had stopped kissing him back. He stopped, and looked at her face.
"Sora? What's wrong babe?" She just looked up at him; Tai saw a little fear in her eyes.
"I'm not ready Tai.." She shivered. Tai drew her up to him.
"That's ok, I'm sorry I even thought of not asking you." She had stopped shivering. Tai ran his hands up and down her bareback. "It just felt so right." He whispered.
"I know it is the right thing to do, but not the right time." She hugged him closer. "I'm sorr.."
"No, it's ok. I'll wait forever for you."
"You won't have to wait that long." She smirked. "I promise." She kissed Tai devotedly. Tai returned the kiss and was satisfied with just holding her in his arms. Soon she was fast asleep. Tai smiled down on his beautiful Sora. He carefully rebut toned her dress and tucked her into bed. He kissed her forehead, she was purring happily.
"I love you Sora." He whispered as he walked out of her room and out to his car quietly.
