~chapter two: Loverboy at Work

"OK Sora, after classes. Tell Tai to be at the gym by four. I'll tell you what to do.," Matt instructed Sora on Monday morning. "What?" Sora exclaimed, "Don't you think you're going too fast yet?" Matt shrugged, "Maybe-for you. But it'll be good if you take things right there and then." Sora raised an eyebrow. "Hey," Matt said, "you asked me for help, didn't you?" Sora sighed and elbowed him. "OK, but just tell me what to do." * Tai was looking at his watch, patiently waiting for Sora to come by. "What is she up to this time?"

Matt and Sora were behind a tree. "So, you tell Tai you want to meet him at your house Friday evening. Make sure he agrees. Remember, watch your tact and mind your tone. And no syrupy stuff, got it?" Matt clarified at once. Sora rolled her eyes and made her fingers into the "whatever" sign. She stepped out and went to the place were Tai was.

"Hi," she said. "Hi," Tai replied and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. (A/N Why did Tai have to be so.explicit.or whatever.I mean he's not suppose to be that fast when it comes to PDA! Just made him do that so at least he'll have a little MORE annoying characteristics ;-){I don't like Tai that much-I mean Matt's way better}) Sora reddened. "So, you got my cards?" Tai asked curiously. Sora nodded, "Uh-huh, but that's not what I came here for." Tai nodded. "Well," Sora began, "I want you to come by our place Friday evening. My mom's not going to be there for a while. You.me.we're gonna have you know, dinner." Tai smiled. "Sure," he replied. "See you there by six-thirty," Sora reminded him. He nodded and walked off, smiling to himself. Sora heaved a sigh of relief. She found Matt standing beside her already.

"So, you have to prepare a delicious dinner Friday evening, ain't ya?" Matt teased her. Sora grew silent. "B-but," she stammered, "I don't know how to cook." Her voice seemed tiny as she blushed at her confession. "Nah, you don't have to worry. After all you asked me for help didn't you?" ^~^ "Go ahead greet him. Sweet but not syrupy. Get it?" Matt urged Sora the Friday in the school corridors. Tai just passed by. "I don't know what to say! How many days have you been pestering me of getting close to that Tai? First you let me have dinner with him then you want me to greet him everyday! Isn't it enough I get his love notes all the time?" Sora whispered. Matt sighed. "Well, I thought you wanted help," he said scratching his head, "And besides, you wanted to have love in the air, right?" Sora kicked him on his shin. Very hard. (A/N: Well, duh, she was a soccer player, remember? She kicks really hard!) Matt gritted his teeth from the pain. "What was that for?" he practically yelled. Sora grinned embarrassed as people looked over to see why this blonde beauty suddenly shouted. Tai also heard him and went over to see. "Hey, Matt! Why'd you scream?" he said. "Nothing, just that someone hit me as he passed by," Matt replied, looking at Sora sharply , who was smiling awkwardly. Then Tai's eye's swept over to Matt's side where Sora was, still smiling sheepishly. "Morning there, beautiful!," Tai teased. Sora smirked. Matt kicked Sora's foot. Sora suddenly stood straight at Matt's signal and said, "Oh yeah, you really going? Dinner? My house? Tonight? Six-thirty?" Tai smiled and said, "Oh yes. Why should I miss such an event?"

"Now what are we supposed to eat?" Sora asked Matt as Tai left after bidding see you later. Matt put his arm on Sora's shoulder and said, "Nah, don't worry. I'll teach you how to cook. After all you asked me for help, didn't you?" "Why'd you keep on repeating yourself???" ^~end chapter~^
