Chapter Three

"Uh…Sora, don't look now but we're being followed," Matt whispered in Sora's ears.

She turned to look up at Matt, who had his arms around her. "What should we do?" Sora mouthed.

A smile played on the corner of his lips and he stopped walking. "I'll race you to your place."

Sora caught on and smiled. "Oh, okay. On your mark, get set…go!" Just before she ran off, she tripped Matt. "Oops!" she yelled back laughing. "Sorry!"

"Hey! No fair! I'm gonna get you for that!" he yelled back as he got up. Soon he was gaining on her and he smiled.

Sora looked back to see Matt gaining on her. Uh oh… She then began to run faster and before she knew it, her apartment building came into view. Her feet hit the soft grass in front of her building, when Matt tackled Sora playfully, causing her to shriek as she fell. As she sat up, so did Matt, and their faces remained merely inches apart.

"I told you I'd get you for that," he said huskily as his hot breath tickled her skin, sending slight shivers up and down her back.

Sora began to panic at him being so close to her. Her heart began to pound faster as her breath came out in short gasps. The way his sapphire eyes held her ruby eyes began to make her nervous. Why do I keep feeling like this? What's wrong with me?

Her eyes were mesmerizing him. And for some reason, their faces seemed to draw closer together. He did not know why but he found it hard to pull away and leaned forward. His keen ears picked up on her short breaths as he touched her cheek. So smooth…and soft…and silky… God she is so desirable…so adorable… I just want to kiss her…

Her eyes closed shut as she felt his warm hand caressing her the skin of her soft cheek. Part of her wanted to pull away while the other part just relished his touch as he sent small waves of electricity running through her. They remained like that for awhile until Matt closed the gap between them, causing Sora's eyes to pop open in shock, that quickly melted away as she got lost in the feeling of his lips. His hands moved to her waist as her hands encircled his neck. Why is he doing this again? she asked as she once again was swept away by a single kiss. Oh, someone was following us that's why.

Jun stared at the two and gasped. So, he really is serious with her… But Tai and Mimi told me a few minutes ago…they told me that they weren't serious…Why would they lie? I can't take this anymore! Jun turned around with tears in her eyes, and fled the scene.

Oh thank God Jun's gone! So, why can't I stop? I should but…I can't help myself…she's so addictive…I can't get enough… Matt kissed her deeper, gently lying her down on the grass. The cool grass gently brushed Sora's back and tingled as it made contact with her bare arms. Their lips moved together in a heated dance as he felt her gentle hands caressing his soft golden hair. Her hands are so gentle…her lips are so sweet…her skin is so soft…this feels so ri-ah! What am I doing? I have to end this. I can't keep on playing with her feelings like this…she's not some toy, she's my best friend. He reluctantly broke the kiss and watched as her eyelids unveiled a pair of confused rubies shining up at him. "Uh…sorry Sora. But Jun was uh following us and I uh…"

"It's okay…I figured that." A blush covered her cheek as she asked, "Uh Matt? Do you uh mind uh getting off me?"

"Oh, sorry." Matt blushed as he got up and offered his hand to her, pulling her up.

"Thanks."

"No problem," he said as he noticed the video on the ground. He bent down to pick it up just as she put her hand on the video. His hand was on hers and they both blushed. Matt quickly took his hand off hers and stood up as she held the video. What's wrong with me? Why am I acting like this?

"Come on," Sora said as she suddenly felt as if the ground was moving around.

Matt quickly steadied Sora. "Are you okay?" he asked with concern.

"Y-yeah. I just felt a little dizzy all of a sudden. Nothing to worry about," she replied a little uneasy. What's wrong with me?

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Now let's just get upstairs."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moment Matt and Sora entered the building, two figures came out of their hiding spot.

"I can't believe what I just heard," said a female voice.

"And saw," finished a male.

They continued to look at the empty grass as they recalled what Matt and Sora had said. "Uh…sorry Sora. But Jun was following us and I…" Matt had said and then Sora replied, "It's okay…I figured that."

"That had to have meant that…" Mimi's voice trailed off. He couldn't have just picked her over me…sure she's gorgeous…but guys want girls like me…fun to be around…not shy…flirty…fashionable…beautiful…

"Yeah, it means that. But why are they pretending to be together? It can't be just to get Jun to stop stalking him…There has to be another reason," Tai said. I can't believe what he's doing! He probably went down on his knees and begged her with some dumb puppy dog face…he knows how Sora can't turn down a friend…she has such a good heart…so kind…so caring…so-so…wonderful.

Mimi turned to look at Tai. "Are you saying that they're trying to make us jealous? Well that does make perfect sense. As I recall, Sora did admit she had a crush on you when I caught her stealing more than a few glances at you."

Tai's face immediately brightened. "Really? A crush? Just like Matt. Well he wouldn't admit anything but I caught him staring at you many times, and whenever I asked him, he would deny it as he blushed."

Mimi's lips curved into a hopeful smile. "I have an idea!" she exclaimed happily. She then broke off into a run towards Tai's apartment complex.

"Mimi? Where are you going? Aren't you going to tell me?" he called after her as he followed her.

"To your apartment. Since we didn't go to the game, isn't everyone at your place out? Kari and Tk…your parents?"

"Oh…yeah. But what about-"

"I'll tell you when we get there!"

"Oh come on…" Tai whined.

Mimi giggled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you want to drink?" Sora asked.

"Uh…I'll have some soda. Is the popcorn finished yet? I can smell the butter," Matt called to her from his spot on the couch.

Sora giggled. "Almost," she replied as she came out of the kitchen with a coke and water. She put her water on the coffee table in front of the TV and handed Matt his drink.

"Ah, what service," he said as he put his feet up on the couch.

Sora rolled her eyes as she brought out the popcorn. She walked halfway to the couch and turned around.

"Hey! Where are you going with that popcorn?"

"I forgot to turn off the lights," she said as the living room darkened. She handed Matt the popcorn and popped in the movie. "Do you mind?" she asked.

Matt sighed as he moved his feet. "I still can't believe you've never seen Scream before."

"Shh…the movie's starting and hey! Save some popcorn for me."

"Sorry."

During the movie Sora moved closer to Matt and would occasionally squeeze onto Matt's arm at a scary part. Matt did not mind one bit and slipped his arm around her.

As the ending credits came on, he turned to Sora. "So, how'd you-" He stopped when he saw her fast asleep. He moved a little and she mumbled something. I wonder what she said…oh well! *yawn* I don't want to wake her up so maybe I'll just take a little *yawn* nap…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sora's mom walked into her apartment and turned on the lights in the living room. Aww…how cute, she thought as she shut off the TV. She then took a blanket and spread it over the two. They look so innocent… She turned off the lights as she went to her room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matt opened his eyes to find Sora sleeping in his arms, and a blanket covering them. Mrs. Takenouchi must have-uh oh…then that means it must be late. I need to get home. Matt got up slowly and laid Sora down gently on the couch.

"Matt…"

"Shh…just sleep," he said as he effortlessly picked her up. He was surprised at how light she was.

"Matt…what are you doing?" asked a sleepy Sora.

"I'm putting you to bed."

"Okay…that's nice," she said as she snuggled up to Matt.

Matt smiled at the girl in his arms. She had a soft smile on her angelic face as her soft breathing tickled Matt's bare skin. He then walked to her room and laid her down gently on the bed. His hand caressed her cheek. She looks so peaceful… He stayed awhile, watching her sleep. She's so special…and one day she'll make some lucky guy very happy. After all, she already has a lot of love in her for everybody and some guy will love her just as much as I lo-What am I thinking? I should go. Matt pulled the covers over her and kissed her softly on the forehead. "Goodnight Sora."

"Thanks," she mumbled as she pulled the blanket tighter over her.

Uh oh… Mimi and Tai were spying on Matt and Sora. And now they know the truth! What are they going to do about it? Find out in the next chapter.
