Chapter Four
~+~+~+~Dream+~+~+~+~
Kari and TK were walking through the park hand in hand. It was night and the stars in the sky made their stroll all the more romantic. Kari still didn't know why TK brought her here tonight. They hadn't planned on having a date, but TK had suddenly called her and told her to meet him at the park.
They walked for about half an hour with mostly silence, both of them just enjoying each other's company. Then TK stopped walking as they came near a pond. He stood there smiling at Kari and looking into her eyes. Then he leaned forward and kissed her tenderly on the lips.
When they broke apart, Kari looked up into his eyes. "OK TK, what's going on?" she asked him curiously. "What? You don't like kissing me anymore?" he asked pouting and pretending he was offended. "You know what mean. Why'd you bring me out here?" He smiled. "Well, I have a surprise for you." "What kind of surprise?" she asked him, now very confused. "Well, this kind of surprise" he answered and with that he dropped to one knee and pulled out a small box. Now Kari was definitely shocked. She wasn't stupid, she knew what was coming next.
TK looked up at her and asked, "Will you marry me Kari Kamiya?" For a moment Kari was silent, she didn't know what to say. Well, actually she did know what to say, she just suddenly had a hard time finding her voice. "Yes TK, I will." She managed to chock out.
TK was so happy. He picked her up and spun her around and kissed her. "Kari, I know we're young, I mean, we are only nineteen, but I know I can take care of you and I just can't wait to have a life with you and be with you forever." "I know TK and I want to be with forever, too. You've just made my life perfect." Kari said and they both kissed each other again.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Kari woke up. It had been a while since she dreamt about that night. She hated thinking about that night. It was the happiest moment in her life. Now it meant nothing, her and TK weren't going to be married.
She looked at her ring finger only to find that there was no ring on it. She did this quite often. Sometimes she would wish that the past five years had just been a bad dream and she would waked up to find that she was still nineteen and TK was not in New York and they would still be engaged.
Unfortunately she knew that that was impossible and those last miserable five years of her life did exist.
She looked at her clock, it was 7:30am. Even though she hated waking up so early during the weekend, she knew she there was no point in trying to go back to sleep. 'Great, what a lousy weekend, I couldn't even get to sleep in late at all.' She thought. She managed to crawl out of bed and head to the bathroom to take a shower.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
TK was up early this morning. He had to move into his new apartment today. He spent the night at Matt's place because he was way to tired to do anything else after the party.
Matt was up as well, which was very unusual for him during the weekends. Sora was still asleep and so was Kyle. Matt was a little grumpy. He had gotten to bed late last night and now he had to wake up early to help his little brother move into his new apartment. Why TK couldn't wait till afternoon to move he didn't know. On the bright side, at least he'd be able to spend some time with his brother.
"Ready to go Matt?" TK asked quite cheery. Matt mumbled something as he walked out the door that TK didn't quite understand. He smiled. He knew his older brother hated being up so early, but it sure was funny seeing Matt so grumpy.
TK and Matt hopped into the car and drove off. Luckily TK's new place was not far away. It took about ten minutes for them to arrive. TK's apartment was on the second the floor of the building. Matt unlocked the door and they both walked in. It was a fairly small apartment with only one bedroom. It was perfect for TK though. The apartment was already somewhat furnished. There was a couch and a reclining chair. The bedroom only had a bed, so TK would have to furnish it with everything else.
By time they were done, it was already 1:00pm. "So TK how do ya like the place?" Matt asked him. "It's great. It's actually bigger than the place I had in New York." "Really? Where you living, in a garbage can?" "It was the only thing I could afford." TK replied.
"Man I'm hungry! Lets go grab some lunch Matt." "Sure."
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Kari was once again alone in her apartment just watching TV and eating potato chips. She didn't really go out much. She usually liked to be by herself. Actually this change occurred after her and TK broke up. He never knew how much it effected her.
She wasn't really watching anything in particular, she was just flipping through the channels hoping that something good would come on. Then she heard a knock at the door. She got up and opened it. It was Yolie and Mimi.
"Hey Kari!" said Yolie. "Hi guys...err...what are you doing here?" "Well", Mimi said, "we wanted to go hang out. You know, a little girl bonding. Besides, Joe got called down to the hospital, since he is a doctor and all and is always at work, and Ken's hanging out with Davis, so we were really bored and, by the looks of this place, you must be bored too." "Well I guess I won't mind going out. Just wait here while I go get something better to wear." "Finally she's decided to go out. She's always at home!" stated Yolie.
A few minutes later the girls were walking around, not going anywhere in particular, and talking about lots of different things, until the conversation that Kari dreaded came up.
"So, Kari, how was it seeing TK again? I saw you two talking on the balcony. You guys weren't fighting were you?" Mimi questioned her. Kari rolled her eyes and sighed then answered, "It was barely a conversation. I don't know. I was just...weird...you know...being with TK again. I mean hard looking at my ex-fiancé knowing that all we are now is just friends." "Well if you ask me I'd say that it's your own fault that you and TK aren't married right now. I mean all you had to do was go to New York with him." "Gee thanks Yolie, you sure know how to make me feel better." Kari said sarcastically.
Just then Mimi took a glimpse at a café and saw Matt and TK in there. "Hey look! It's Matt and TK! Let's go join them!" "I don't think so." Kari said, still too nervous around TK. "Oh come on Kari!" Yolie said. "It's not like you'll be alone with TK. Me, Mimi and Matt will be there. Besides, I'm hungry."
The three girls walked into the café and walked over to Matt and TK's table. "Hey guys!" Yolie exclaimed. "Oh hi. What are you lovely girls doing here?" said Matt. "Oh we were just walking by and I saw you guys, so we figured we would come in and say hi. Oh and Yolie was hungry." Mimi stated. "Well why don't you girls join us." TK said.
Mimi and Yolie purposefully sat across from TK so that Kari would sit next to him. "Hi Kari." He said to her with a smile. "Hi" she replied shyly. "So what have you two been up to today?" Mimi asked TK, trying to break the tension that was building up. "Matt was helping me move into my new place." TK answered. "Oh TK you have to invite everyone over soon! I want to see your apartment." "There's really nothing much to see. It's kind of small."
Mean while Kari sat quietly. She still felt uncomfortable around TK. 'Why did I let Mimi and Yolie talk me into coming in here? TK looks good though...Ahhh! Kari don't think like that, you have to stay friends with him. Oh when will I be able to talk to him without feeling so awkward?'
"Uh Kari? Earth to Kari. Are you ok?" Yolie asked, snapping Kari out of her thoughts. "Huh. What?" "TK just asked us if we wanted to see his place now. Are you coming?" "Uh, sure." She answered.
They all left the café and went into Matt's car and drove to TK new apartment. Mimi, Yolie and Matt were talking about different things and TK and Kari just remained quiet.
When they arrived, Kari noticed that TK place wasn't too far from her own. Her place would only be a fifteen-minute walk from here.
TK opened the door and everyone walked in. "Oh TK this place is cozy and it seems pretty much done with unpacking." Yolie commented. "I just hope you can keep this place, unlike most guys. Ken always has our a mess." Yolie and Ken had been living together for two years, even though they weren't married yet. They are engaged though and would be married in a couple months.
"TK's not a messy guy." Kari said after being quiet for so long. "Unlike Matt of course." She said with a smile. "Hey! I'm not messy. Well, at least Sora won't let me be messy." Matt and Kari had actually become good friends. Kari didn't know why, but after TK had left she went to Matt for comfort. Maybe it was they were the two who were closest to TK. Now they often joked on each other. Matt had become like Kari's second older brother.
"So what are you guys up for next?" TK asked. "I gotta go. Sora hates it when I make her watch Kyle all day. I am not in the mood for a lecture from her. See ya TK!" Matt said and then left. "Sorry TK but Joe is actually expecting me to buy the groceries today so I gotta do that now. Oh and Yolie promised to help me." "I did?" Yolie asked clueless. "Yes you did." Mimi answered while grabbing Yolie and pulling her out of the apartment, obviously wanting TK and Kari to be alone together.
"She is so obvious." TK said. "Yep" Kari replied, both of them knowing exactly what Mimi what up to. TK decided to cease the opportunity. "So your not busy are ya Kari? How about you and I catch up on the last five years." Kari smiled. "Sure" she said.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
TK and Kari were sitting in TK's apartment talking and laughing about old times. They had spent almost and hour just talking about everything they did when they kids and were mostly laughing as they remembered all the goofy things that Davis had done.
"So how's everyone been since I left?" TK asked. "Well nothing much has changed." Kari answered. "I think the one who changed the most is Davis, I mean, he's still always late for everything and still has a pretty big ego but he's a lot more caring and doesn't only think about himself. I think we have his wife, Mia, to thank for his change." "Yeah, I'd like to meet her. Anyone who can change Davis deserves some sort of reward." TK said while laughing.
"So what about Tai? I keep hearing all these crazy stories about him from Matt. Is he married or not?" Kari sighed. "Well, Tai is married to a girl named Dana. They ran off and eloped. We only found out two weeks after they were married. Our parents were pissed." "Wow! I can't believe Tai would do something like that." TK said shocked. "Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. It's not like our family didn't like Dana and they were afraid of telling us they were getting married. We all liked her and thought they were good together. I guess it was just a spur of the moment sort of thing."
"How have you been, Kari, during the last five years, and don't just say 'fine', I mean really how have you been?" TK asked in a more serious tone. Kari sighed again. How had she been? She knew the answer to that question, she had been miserable. She wasn't anywhere near as happy as she had been when they were still together, but she couldn't let TK know that.
"I've been ok really." She lied. "I got through college and found a great job, and that's just pretty much been my life." TK knew she was holding something back, but decided no to push her anymore. "What about you? How have you been?" she asked him.
TK thought for a moment. Should he tell her everything or just forget about it. He finally decided to tell her.
"Well, I've been engaged again."
