Will We Ever Be Together?
Chapter 14
After our usual rehearsal, Mimi and I left the auditorium and were heading back to my place. On our way, we had small stops in front of clothing shops. Mimi dragged me into a clothing shop for ladies. It felt pretty awkward, but I found that I wasn't the only guy in there. I sat in a chair and waited for Mimi to finish looking for clothes. She definitely needed some because I doubt she'd want to wear my clothes everyday. I was started to slouch in my chair until Mimi called my name.
"Yamato! Could you come here for a second?" Mimi called from the fitting room she was in. I reluctantly got up and walked over to her. I didn't see her body because she was hiding behind the door.
"What is it?" I asked with a bit of impatience. She opened the door wider to reveal herself in light pink dress, which had spaghetti straps. She moved stray strands of hair out of her face.
"What do you think?" she asked. My jaw dropped down and I became speechless. "I'll take that as a compliment then. Thanks Matt." She then smiled, which made her looked even better.
"I'll sit down now…you just try on some other clothes, I might be able to buy some of them." I said and walked down to my chair. I slouched down on the chair and was caught in my thoughts. Holy cow…Mimi was hot in that dress…wait a minute! The hell am I thinking about?! I must've caught it from those losers. I can't like Mimi MORE THAN a friend…can I? Snap out of this Yamato! You're a full grown man! I shouldn't think of things like this. She's my friend and that's all! My thoughts were suddenly broken by the feeling of two delicate arms wrapped around my neck. I looked up and found who these arms belong to. It was Sora.
"Hey Yamatty." She replied and smiled at me. I looked at her confused.
"Yamatty? You're REALLY scaring me Sora." I replied. She kissed my forehead.
"Tai and I broke up earlier. It's only because he's found another girl to like and that I found another guy I like too." She said and smiled lovingly at me.
"Okay, whatever…" I replied in a startled voice.
"What are you doing in a place like this anyway?" Sora asked.
"I brought Mimi here so she can get some clothes and that she won't have to borrow mine." I replied. I could see Sora's smile turn into a frown.
"Hey Matt…that guy I like…is…you…" Sora said and stroked my cheek.
"WHAT?!" I asked and quickly jumped out of my chair and out of her arms. I looked at her puzzled. She just smiled and nodded. I was just about to tell her that we couldn't be together, but Mimi walked out of the fitting room with only two pairs of clothing.
"Hm? Oh hi Sora." Mimi greeted. Sora smiled at Mimi.
"Hi Mimi, I can't believe you and Matt are here together." She replied.
"Where's Tai?" Mimi asked.
"Oh…we broke up." Sora replied.
"Oh gosh, I thought you two would be great for each other." Mimi commented.
"Oh well, like in Matt's song, 'it may not always be that way'." Sora replied. That freaked me out even more.
"Hey Mimi, you got your clothes that you want? I'll go pay for them." I said. She nodded and handed me the clothes.
"They're pretty cheap too and I'll pay you back once I get the money." Mimi replied. I shook my head.
"Naw, you don't have to. Let's just say these are you late birthday gifts." I said and chuckled. She giggled and swatted my arm playfully. I then walked over to the cashier. Mimi and Sora were talking and giggling while I was paying.
"Wow, which one's your girlfriend? I think you look best with the short brunette, the pink haired girl looks like a punk or something." The lady at the cashier commented to me.
"None of them are my girlfriend." I said and paid for the clothes.
"Then, you busy tonight, Matt Ishida?" the lady asked. I looked at her and noticed that she was in my grade.
"Oh, hey Marcy. I didn't recognize you for a sec." I said. She giggled and began to play with her blond, straight hair.
"You didn't answer my question, Ishida." She said. I chuckled.
"Sorry, but I'm going to be busy for a couple weeks because of the upcoming concert." I said.
"Ohh, I see. But will you have a date after your concert?" Marcy asked.
"I don't know. I might have to go home early because the last time I stayed out late I got in a fight with James Alkindan." I replied. She nodded and handed me the clothes in a bag.
"I see, well have a nice day and I'll see you Monday." She said and smiled at me. I smiled back and took the bag. I waved to Mimi, who said goodbye to Sora and ran over to me.
"Bye Sora!" I said and waved to her. She waved back and when Mimi's back was facing her, Sora blew a kiss to me. I gulped and turned to Marcy. "See ya Marcy." I said and waved to her as Mimi and I left the shop. Mimi and I then began to head back to my place.
"Classmate?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah, what was Sora telling you earlier?" I asked.
"She asked me about stuff about you and your place. I wonder why though." Mimi replied.
"…I know why…" I mumbled.
"You do? What is it Matt?" she asked.
"She…likes me…and that's why she broke up with Tai…geez, I'm going to get beaten up by Tai…" I replied and sulked.
"Aww…Matt, don't worry about Tai. You should worry about Sora more. You know how insane she can get when it comes to guys…" Mimi suggested. I then remembered how insane she was over a guy in our grade, but was later rejected by him. Sora was then crying her eyes out for more than three weeks.
There was then a slight breeze and Mimi was starting to shiver underneath my black jacket. I took off my dark navy blue jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "What are you doing, Matt?! You'll catch a cold just wearing a t-shirt." She said in a worried voice.
"I'm fine, you just keep my jacket on." I replied. She smiled at me.
"Thanks
Matt for everything." She said and I smiled. I then glanced at my watch and
noticed what time it was. It was now
"You okay?" I asked with a slight blush in my cheeks.
"Yeah…I'm
fine. That just startled
"Sorry if I held onto you too tight." I said.
"It's ok and thanks for helping me again Matt." She replied. We then cautiously walked through the crowds, but later we found ourselves being pushed by the crowds and nearly getting separated, but we grabbed each other's hand tightly and didn't let go. Mimi grabbed onto my hand. "MATT! HELP ME!!" she called out to me.
"JUST HOLD ON TIGHT MIMI!!" I screamed out to her. I then started to pull her into my arms and once she was in my arms, I held onto her tightly as we walked together with our bodies mashed against one another. Once the crowds began to decrease, Mimi and I let go of each other and I smiled at her. "You okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks." Mimi replied.
"I hate it
when it's
"Why do you hate that?" she asked.
"…My parents divorced when I was small, I never felt the feeling of family love that much…plus dad's been busy at the station lately and I don't get to spend that much time with him…" I said. She looked worried now.
"Aww…well, I can tell you that the feeling is great and that…if you lose your parents after you've felt that love, you'd want or wish to try and help get your parents back." Mimi said and I could see tears develop. I dug through my pockets and found a clean tissue. I handed her it and she took it and wiped her eyes. After that, our walk home was silent. It didn't feel awkward or nervous and I think it's only because I'm either use to the silence or that Mimi and I just understand each other with or without words being used. Tai, T.K., Kari, Joe, and Sora would try to strike up a conversation. Izzy on another hand likes to keep things quiet when he's in deep thought or that he's busy on his laptop. Mimi and I just have some sort of bond that enables us to have fun even though we're silent.
