ULTIMATE ROWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAIORA 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tai stepped out of the Chemistry Lab into the intense sun. As if by reflex, he pushed his long, full brown hair away from his eyes and scanned the perimeter.
Today was like any other Thursday. After a few hours crammed in the stifling humid lab, he rode across campus five miles to soccer practice. After practice, he'd bike six miles back home, shower, change and go out.
He was wondering how he'd finish his final for Bio when Matt ran up to him, tapping him on the shoulder.
"Hey guy, how was Kim?"
"Brutal, Prof. Long gave a pop-." he began only to be interrupted by Matt.
"Not Chemistry, dumbwad! I'm talking about the hot chick that slept in your room last night." he smiled, lifting a knowing brow, "She was pretty loud."
"I think she was having a better time than I was." He mumbled, trying not to think of the previous night.
Matt stopped, tugging on his friends sleeve to hault him,"What do you mean?"
Tai looked at Matt as if it pained him to speak. "Last night was a total disaster! It started out ok, but after that fight with the lesb- Sora," he sighed, "everything just went downhill from there. I was bummed when i got to the party, the first girl that batted her lashes at me was my victim. I just wanted to get her; i wanted her to find out that i hooked up with some hottie so then she'd realize what a stud i am and get jealous. i know it was stupid, but damn, that's what she does to me! she makes me so fuckin' crazy!" he sighed heavily,pushing back a tuft of hair.
"And then last night when i took Kim back to the Loft, i didn't even feel like fooling around. Yeah, i know it's an oxymoron for a 19 year old guy not wanting to get laid, but all i wanted to do was go back to that dorm and straighten things out.
"Kim wanted to do whatever, so i found myself like forcing myself to get hard. all night i was just faking it. i could have been reading a boring book...Frankenstein! i could have been reading Frankenstein and wouldn't have known the difference!" he exclaimed.
I never thought i'd see the day when Tai Kamiya would fall for a girl who didn't recipricate his feelings. Damn, you've really fallen for her."
"Yeah," he began, but ate up the last couple of words.
Across the campus, a young woman caought his eye. She sat under the shadow of a large oak tree, book in hand and a guitar at her side. she seemed deeply immersed in the book, ignoring the constant movement about her.
He couldnn't bring his eyes to leave her. she was so beautiful. she looked so peaceful sitting under the tree. she sat in the way a sexy woman would sit when she wasn't trying to be. he stood there mesmerized as a small trickle of wind swept past her, causing her long wisps of red curls to lift, almost like feathers and dance around her like butterflies.
"I guess you finally understand...," began Matt.
But Tai wasn't listening. *Her eyes*, he prayed. as if the gods were listening, she lifted her eyes from the sea of words, and found it lost in his gaze.she was instantly drawn into the softness of his chocolate-kissed eyes, unable to look away. she could feel him drawing her into a beautiful place where his beautiful eyes and innocent soul resided in harmony.
she blinked slowly, yet never looking away, almost afraid to loose the connection.it was still there, his magnetic stare as hypnotizing as ever. as people strode before them, their eyes never once left the other's,and never were their gazes interrupted.
she was aware of the sudden urge to go to him.she wanted him to take her in his arms and stay there, not wanting to leave. to stay in his arms, not asking for anything else, just to be with him. she wanted to listen to the comforting beating of his heart, and the melodic breeze of his voice.
A gentle tug pulled at her arm, bringing her back to reality, back to the campus.
Tai watched as she turned and looked at the intruder. he noted the drastic change in expression, from a woebegone teenager to a delighted young woman.
"Who's that?" He asked Matt, not taking his eyes from her.
He watched as she jumped from her seat, her white linen ruffled tank and knee-length denium skirt flowing behind her. he watched as her long slender tanned arms wrapped themselves around his neck in an affectionate hug. he watched as he swung her around in a circle, noting the way that her eyes rested on his for that brief second. he watched as the young man placed her back to her feet and she touched his face with both her haands. he even watched as the guy leaned foreward and kissed her on the cheek.
"Who is he?" Tai repeated, irked.
Matt shrugged, then realized Tai couldn't see him and responded, "Never seen him on campus before."
*I hope he's not Griffin.* he thought.
As she slung the guitar over one shoulder and closed the book, she glanced up at him. Taking one more long gaze, she finally turned and led the guy away.
*At least she's thinking about me!* he smiled to himself.
~***~
"...So you're going to California for a week?" Asked Matt.
"Yeah, some famous BioChemist has a vineyard up there. he's invited me to a workshop for some of his research and stuff."
"So you're spending Spring Break in California at a boring vineyard? Not Baha, not LA, no, some place in the boondocks?"
"It's not as boring as you think. it's harvest time, he told me, so there will constantly be stuff to do."
"So?"
"So it might be interesting."
"You're gambling alot on some guy you don't even know. Who is he anyway?"
"His name is Mr. Collins, he used to go here for college. After graduation he got married and moved to Africa. A few years ago he moved back and bought a vineyard where he also sets up lab."
"So it's going to be you, him,and his wife?" Asked Matt, "And the harvest people?"
"No, he's invited his daughter. he says she's an expert in BioChem, and she's really pretty."
"Hmm, so this really isn't a conservative visit, it's also conjugle?"
"I used to think so, but now i don't even want to go..."
"A girl?" Matt asked knowingly.
"Maybe." he sighed.
"I don't know what to say man. But if this trip is really as important as you make it, i'd advise you to go and let her cool off for awhile. Maybe if you give her time to think, she might even start to like you!"
"Ya' think?"
"Maybe."
~***~
Opening the huge oak door, Sunny was smacked by the wave of music blasting from the cd player. a smile stretched across her face as she noticed Sora jumping around to Alien Ant Farm's "Summer"; an opened suitcase lying on her bed.
"Trying to give you summer,/ but i'm winter./ Wish i could make you spring,/ but i fall so hard!" she sang into her hairbrush as she threw a pair of jeans into the pile.
Dropping her backpack on her bed, Sunny grabbed a curling iron and joined in. the two girls laughed and sang as they jumped around the room like five year olds.
They were singing the chours to "Attittude" when a loud knock came from the opened door. they both turned around simultaneously, stopping abruptly. Immediatlely Sunny jumped off the bed and shut off the cd player.
Standing at the door was Taylor with an amused look on his beautiful face.
"Taylor!" Sora gasped pushing her long tresses away from her eyes.
"hey to you too." he smirked.
her face was now beet red as she stepped off the bed, dropping the brush hoping he hadn't seen that part.
"This is Taylor?" Sunny asked walking up to him, "You weren't lying, he is a hottie!"
"Hi," he smiled taking her hand, "I am Taylor, and i'm guessing you're Sunny; Sora's roommate and best friend since sophmore year of highschool."
"He's sharp too." she smiled at Sora, then turned back to him, "Nice to meet you."
"Yeah."
"So Taylor," Sora finally said, "What are you doing here?"
"Well, i heard you were leaving for home tomorrow, and i was wondering could i speak to you before you left. we could go get something to eat?"
She looked from Sunny to Taylor, uncertainty in her eyes."I'm sorry, but Sunny and i had already made plans for a girl's night. Sorry, but if you want, we could go out in the hall to talk?"
Taylor noticed the look in her eye. it wasn't exactly frightened, but it was on the border of. he looked at her with caring eyes, accepting her invitation and respecting her wishes.
Leading her out into the hall, he waited as she settled against the wall, leaving him to stand over her. taking her hand in his, he looked into her crimson eyes, and began.
"I've been thinking about that day in the park alot. it was the best time that i have ever had with...anyone. i know that you're very cautious about the guys that you date, and you don't want to be taken for a ride. i know that it's a long shot, but i can't get you out of my head! i keep picturing you smiling as we talked and grimmacing when i let you taste my ice cream. And i was just wondering, can i get another chance?" he whispered.
she looked at him, her face void of emotion. she wanted to wrap her arms around his neck and say yes. she wanted to kiss him until he couldn't breathe, but that fear was rising within her again, evading her normal wavelength of though and pushing it to a higher scale.
Opening her mouth to object, he silenced her with a finger. slowly and deliberately he leaned foreward, softly brushing his lips against hers. a sigh escaped her lips as he pulled away, watching her as she recovered slowly. finally she opened her eyes again and gazed into the deep gray depths.
"can i just think about it?" she asked.
A wry smile lifted the corners of his mouth as he looked at her. "Yes." he smiled gently touching her cheek with one brown finger.
~***~
"So, i guess i'll be seeing you next week?" Sunny asked.
"Yeah." Sora smiled pulling on her ponytail.
"Tell Griffin and Autumn i said Hi."
"Yeah." Sora smiled, "do you also want me to give Bessie and Daisy an extra tug on the utters?"
"Shut up!" she laughed.
"How do i look?" she asked whirling around to face her best friend.
"Great." Sunny smiled picking up her backpack and jacket.
"You're going now?"
"Yeah, aren't you?"
"Well i gotta' stop by the library, then hail a cab and go..."
"so i'll see you next week?" Sunny smiled walking to her.
"yeah." she smiled, walking into her waiting arms.
"Bye." she said hugging her back.
After Sunny let go, she turned around and left.
~***~
"I need this book for Chemistry." Tai smiled at the librarian.
"Cathing up on some reading?" asked a voice from behind.
Tai jumped at the nearness of the voice. her then turned around and faced Sora. she was wearing tight blue jeans, a white tank top, a tan stetson hat, matching work boots, and a stylish blue jean jacket. her orange mane was braided in a long french braid down her back.
"Hmm, i didn't know your kind did this on Spring Break. i thought you'd be in Florida at the Kid Rock concert, feeling up some dumb blonde, and bragging to your friends thwt you made it with a Florida chick!" Sora smiled placing her book on the counter.
"Oh look, it's Jessie from Toy Story!" he sneered.
"Anyway..." she said looking at the librarian, "Jenna, can you ring these up for me, i gotta' go, there's a cab waiting for me outside."
"wait, you can't cut in front of me!" Tai roared.
Jenna took Sora's books and began ringing them up. Sora looked up at him with a triumphant smile, "Oh, looks like i just did! Ya' see, i work here, and you don't. the only way any one would give a shit about you was if you owed a hell of alot in late fees! to them, you're just another trivial customer."
he glared at her as she gathered her books and thanked Jenna.
"See ya' Preppy."
"Die, bitch!" he mumbled under his breath.
~***~
he rang the doorbell nervously. When Mr. Collins said a small vineyard, he didn't think of small as this gargantuan.
the house, from where the cab driver had left him looked as if it were settled in the middle of plush green clouds. fields of grapes surrounded the small mansion, with many small barns scattered smartly around the place. he even saw small animals walking amongst the crops and entering and exiting the house.
"hi." Mr. Collins smiled taking Tai's hand.
"Hi, Mr. Collins." he smiled.
"C'mon, we're all grown here, Mr. Collin's was my father, call me Griffin." he smiled taking Tai's luggage and leading him into the well kept kitchen.
At the table sat a blonde haired woman dishing dog food into three matching clear bowls.
"This is my wife, Autumn." he smiled.
"Hi." Tai smiled not really sure what to call her.
"My daughter Lily is out back milking, but she should be out soon. For now, let's just get you settled into your room and then give you a tour of the place."
"Thanks." he smiled as Griffin picked up his bags effortlessly and began leading him up the grand staircase.
"This is a very beautiful house you have here."
"And very peculiar, you haven't seen your room yet."
*What did he mean by that?* Tai thought.
Suddenly he could hear a small tinkling from downstairs. Suddenly, three huge dogs came hurlting out of a room and down the staircase, not even bothering to glance at the newcomer as they almost knocked him down.
"Apollo is the biggest one, Eros the smallest one, and Athena the white one. My daughter named them." he explianed nonchalantly.
He stopped at the last door down the long hall. setting down the luggage, he opened the door and flipped on the light switch. taking the luggage again, they both stepped inside.
Tai let out a small gasp, he'd never seen anything like it. the carpet was blue, and the only normal thing in the room. on the ceiling hung a large yellow orb, supposidly the sun and then painted on the ceiling was day turn night. on three of the walls was painted the first six days of creation. on the last wall, where the bed touched, slept a tired God under the tree of knowledge. painted on the dressers and other furnitire were bible stories by a very talanted artist.
"Lily painted this whole room when she was about fourteen. i think about a week after she annouced to Autumn and i that she'd finished the entire bible."
"Wow." Tai gasped trying to take the whole room in. he couldn't even articulate another response, the room was amazing.
"yeah, when she first decided to do this we freaked! i think Autumn and i grounded her about ten times each, but she kept on painting. After about six months she was finished. everyone thought it was so beautiful that we never had the heart to paint over it."
"it's beautiful." he breathed still staring around the room.
"C'mon." Griffin said finally, "dinner should be ready, let's go."
Tai, eager to meet Griffin's daughter, took one last look at the room before switching off the light and following Griffin back to the kitchen.
the table was set for four, yet there were only three people in the kitchen.
"Where's Lily?" Asked Griffin.
"She went to go wash her hands, she did just milk two cows, ya' know." Autumn stated.
"Hi everyone!" she smiled in the doorway. looking at everyone, her facial expression suddenly changed.
Tai looked up and soom a look of disbelief enveloped his face.
"Not you." she breathed.
"You?" he asked upset.
"So you guys know each other?" Griffin asked hopefully.
"Yeah, that's the pissed preppy!"
"And she's the lesbian libraian." Tai retorted.

A/N: hoped you liked it. Sorry it took so long, but my computer is down. but i'm finally out of school, so it makes it a little easier to do. Hope everyone has a great summer! R&R pweeeeezzzzz! i gotta' start prison soon (summer school) so i need all the happy reviews uz can muster. and for whoever said Tai wasn't a jock, i bet you're one! i wrote the story, i haven't really developed him as a character yet, so if i say he's a jock, wait 'til i've fully developed him before you make any analyosis discriptions about them. it's only the third chapter, so wait!
P.S. to all my amigs, have a great summer! luv uz!
P. P. S. they say sweet sixteen is a big deal, how? i can't drive, can't drink, don't do drugs, all i can do is spend my parent's money, what fun is that (lol). i gotta' go, so buh bye. a demain, hasta luago, or whatever.
buh bye,
