Chapter 11

We met up again after dinner, all of us decided to go and hang around by the tennis courts while Sora practised for a game she had when we got back.
I stepped out of our apartment wearing a pair of cut-off Jean shorts and a white T-shirt. I closed the door behind me, as Yolie had already gone to find Ken. I smiled, those two were getting on so well and with the announcement of an end of trip dance, I hoped they'd finally admit to each other how they felt.
I was about to turn round when I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my waist and a greeting in my ear.
"Hey."
"Hi." I replied trying to turn round, but it was impossible. He had me in his arms and his lips were now working their way down my neck. I shuddered under their touch, causing him to stop and pull back.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing," I smiled, finally able to turn round. "just didn't expect that."
"You weren't meant to." He whispered as he leaned in and brushed his lips with mine.
Getting lost in the kiss, I didn't realise he'd stopped and turned abruptly. Voices finally brought me out of my trance.
"Hey Tai."
"Hey Man, you two coming? I was just coming to see what was keeping you."
"Yeah we're coming, I was just talking to Kari."
"Okay, come on then." He grinned dragging Matt down stairs. I followed, still feeling the effect of his lips on mine.
We walked towards the group and I grinned inwardly as Tai walked straight up to Sora and kissed her gently on the lips. I sat down next to Yolie.
We were all gathered around the benches outside the tennis courts.
"I have to go now Tai." I heard Sora say, as she untangled herself from his arms. Watching her walk towards the courts the conversation resumed.
We chatted non-stop for about half an hour, breaking up into separate groups. I listened in to the conversations. Mimi was sat with Joe and Izzy, discussing the hardware on Izzy's computer and looking thoroughly bored. Matt was tormenting Tai and currently had him in a head lock. I shook my head as Tai's face started to turn purple, his arms thrashing around trying to remove Matt. I got up and walked over to them. I had been talking to Yolie, Davis, Cody, Ken and TK, but I thought that allowing my brother to breathe again should be top priority.
When I got to them I stood there and tapped my foot.
"Are you trying to suffocate my brother?" I asked, grinning up at him. I watched his eyes fall over me, studying what I was wearing. He let him go suddenly.
"See, I told you Tai, you can't beat me in a fight!" He grinned and linked arms with me.
I looked up in surprise. What are you doing? I mouthed. He just grinned and turned to Tai.
"Kari and I have to go now, we had to go work on our times at the assault course." And with that he turned and walked me towards that stretch of land.
"Okay." Tai choked after us. "I'll win next time though."
"Don't count on it!"

We got to the assault course and I was pulled onto his knee gently after he sat down on the first obstacle.
"Lying to my older brother, not a very clever thing to do." I said smiling.
"Not lying, just stretching the truth."
"And what truth is there in this exactly?"
"Well we're at the assault course and I shall be exercising my tongue."
I opened my mouth to object, but it was too late.
'How can he have this effect on me?' I wondered as I felt my lips being opened and his tongue slipping into my mouth. I gasped as I felt it running along mine.

I sat there watching her as she moved about the course. 'I must be the luckiest guy alive.' I thought as she won her 3rd match and came running over to me.
"Water!" She gasped, collapsing on the bench next to me.
I smiled producing a bottle of water and handed it to her. She gulped it down and turned to smile at me.
"That's better!" She grinned. "Hey, where did everyone go?"
"Izzy, Joe and Mimi went to get something to eat, Yolie, Ken, TK and Davis went off to play soccer and Kari and Matt went to the assault course."
"Why'd they go there?"
"Practise their times." I stated. She looked at me oddly at that, but shook her head and smiled.
"How about we go and get something to eat and then join Davis and the others for a game of soccer?"
"You have too much energy." I grinned and linked my hand with hers as we headed towards the vending machines.

It was complete and utter bliss being with her. I hadn't had a moment alone with her since, well I hadn't had a moment alone with her.
She had her arms wrapped around my neck and mine were around her waist as she sat on my knee.
It was killing me but I pulled away for air and looked down on her, brushing some hair from her face. I smiled as she opened her eyes and stared up at me.
"Thought you could use some air." I whispered, running my lips over her neck. She moaned quietly into my sweater and it took all of my will power not to carry her back to my room. I pulled away again and she collapsed into my arms. We stayed like that for a couple of hours, just talking about little things. Then at about midnight I walked her back to her apartment.
We reached her front door and I looked down on her, bringing my arms around her waist again I leant down to kiss her, only to find her missing.
"Hey!" I protested, "You know you're not allowed to do that." I pouted, causing her to laugh.
"Night Matt." She smiled, kissing me gently on the cheek and then retreating into the small house.
"Night." I called to the closed door.

I woke up the next morning with the biggest smile on my face as I remembered the night before. I looked over at Yolie, who surprisingly had jumped straight out of bed at the sound of the alarm clock.
"What's up with you?" I asked as she pulled her sweater and trousers on at incredible speed.
"Meeting Ken for breakfast, do I look okay?" She asked jumping up and down.
"You look great." I called as she ran out of the room, cursed loudly and flew down the stairs and out the door.
I got out of bed and opened the curtains to reveal Yolie running across the field outside our room towards the canteen. Two hands were then placed over my eyes and the room sank into darkness.
"Guess who." The voice called.
"Matt?" I asked, unsure. It didn't sound like him, but who else would do that.
"Close." I turned round to see Tom grinning at me.
"Tom! What are you doing?" I asked, grabbing my dressing gown.
"Just came to say hi." He sat down on my bed. "So what are you doing today?"
"I don't know." I replied pulling the gown around me. "I haven't been down to check yet."
"K." He glanced round the room, that I was standing in the middle of, very awkwardly.
Tom was in my year and had asked me out a couple of times, to which I had always declined.
"So." I said with difficulty. I just wanted him gone. "You sure you didn't want something?"
"A date with you." Came his reply.
"I told you Tom I don't…"
"What's going on?" 'Matt.'
"I just came to see Kari."
"Yeah well you've seen her now, you can leave." Matt said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah… the offer still stands 'Kari." He smiled, walking out of the room.
"What was that about?" Matt asked, looking at me oddly.
"Nothing." I lied. I didn't want Matt getting annoyed with him, for no reason.
"I can handle it."
"Yeah…" He said, uncertainly.
"It's ok Matt, really. Nothing happened."
"Anyway, where's my good morning kiss?"
"Going into the bathroom, because I need to change."
I turned on my heel grabbing some clothes from the open drawer at the end of the room and walked into the bathroom, leaving Matt alone with his thoughts.

There we go, and no it's not 2000 words, but it's well over a thousand, toppyless! :P
Hope you all liked, please review.
