~Chapter Six~
"So you're living here all by yourself?" Riley asks, as we enter my apartment.
"Yeah. It's not like I know anybody else who lives in New York."
"What made you want to come here?"
"Uh…I don't know. I just wanted to know what the USA was really like for myself." I explained.
"Wow…I'd never be able to leave my home for more than a month or so. I get homesick so easily." She said as she sat down on my couch.
"I kind of miss my family back home. Especially my little brother. It's weird not having him share an apartment with me." I sighed.
"Tell me about your brother…" She asked, turning her head to face me.
"He's a spitting image of me." I smirk.
"Oh! Two cute Matts. How lovely…" She giggled and I smiled to myself.
"Except he's more sensitive. Too bad he's taken…"
"Darn. You're telling me you're not sensitive?" She asks.
"Not as sensitive as TK." Then a few moments of silence crept between us again.
"Thank you for the date Matt…" She smiled, taking my hand. I was forced to look at her and smiled sincerely.
"You're welcome. Did you know, you're the very first friend I've made here?" I asked.
"NO, but I'm glad. I wouldn't want some other girl to go out with you tonight…" She joked. I just stared at her, not realizing I was leaning in. Then our lips met, and I felt this rush of excitement and electricity run through my body. A feeling I haven't felt since Sora. We broke apart after a minute or too.
"That was lovely too…" She blushed and I kissed her again. Just a quick kiss.
"I think I should be getting you home." I told her.
"Yeah. I have a class tomorrow." She agreed as we both got up from the couch and left.
Did I mention how incredible this night has been? Riley's a really wonderful person and maybe I've moved on. The stars are slightly visible behind those massive clouds tonight. The stars hold many secrets. They know what happened in the past. They know the future before us. Mysteries that are yet waiting to be solve. They know everything that surrounds them. They know the beginning and for all I know, they probably know the end.
Then my mind wondered back to the "Mimi subject". Mimi and I had shared so many memories back in high school. Memories I hold close to my hurt. Even though we never dated, I considered her to be a girlfriend. I was her protector. Her guardian. She was my angel…Damn it Mimi. Why'd you have to go and ruin my day again?!
-----The Next Morning-----
Ugh…is it morning yet? Was last night a whole dream? Please say no…It was real. Riley's real. Everything about last night was not a fantasy. At least the rain stopped today, but it's still partially cloudy. Maybe a nice stroll down the park would wake me up…
It's cold, and there's no on around. Maybe jogging would keep me warm. As I'm jogging and not paying attention to where I was going, I suddenly jog into an anonymous person, knocking her over with me landing on top of her. Shit. Not again. Maybe I should start being more careful.
"I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed, helping her up. Then I realize to my surprise, it was Mimi. Or whom I thought it was.
"It's ok. Just next time, watch where you're running." She said, fixing her hair.
"Hey, it's you." I said.
"Yeah. Is it just me, or did I saw you at this Italian Restaurant last night?" She asked.
"Yeah you did. I saw you too. With you're boyfriend?" I casually ask.
"No. That was Evan's father…"
"Oh…"
Silence…
"Um…you never mentioned what was your name…" I bring up.
"Oh! I'm Mimi! Mimi Tachikawa." She smiled, extending her hand.
I just stood there…dumbfounded…
"Um…you ok?" She asked, waving her hand in front of my face.
"Yeah…" I whisper. Too stunned that I was right all long. That this woman standing in front of me was Mimi. The Mimi I was head over heels for. The Mimi that broke my heart. The Mimi I thought I was finally over with.
*Gulp* "Meems?" I asked softly, looking into her honey-colored eyes.
"Meems?" She asks, surprised. "No one's ever called me that…well not for this one guy I knew back home…"
"It's me…" I tell her. And her eyes widen as if she had just seen a ghost.
"Matt? Yamato Ishida?" She questions.
"Yeah." I smiled. She frowned. "Not happy to see me?"
"NO…Matt…I've missed you…" She explains.
"Well you don't seem like it." I coldly reply. Memories of her leaving me comes back and my anger suddenly resurfaces.
"Matt…" She whispered.
"No." I sternly said. "I don't know why I bothered. When I saw you the other day I knew you looked so familiar, then I realize that it was you. Then I started wondering why you never bothered to call one of us back in Japan that you got married and you had a son!! Now that I've officially proven myself that you are Mimi Tachikawa, I've suddenly become so furious and agitated to the fact that you've forgotten about all of us!" I yell at her, letting my anger out.
"You don't understand Matt!!" She yells back, tears now in her eyes.
"I don't need too!" I spat out and I walked away from her. Anger burning in my eyes.
"I wasn't the one who ignored all the phone calls!!!" She yelled out but I tried to ignore her.
