~*Hanging by a Moment: Chapter 2*~
Joey stared into shop windows, hoping something would catch his eye. It was the day before the Dance and he was looking for a gift to get Mai for Valentines Day, since they were going to the dance together. Joey had asked her to go not only to cheer her up, but he figured this was the perfect time to tell Mai his feelings for her!
Hey flowers, Candy and a confession of Love. Women Love that stuff! Joey thought while he looked through a row of Flowers. He was determined to make this the Best Valentines Day Mai ever had! Since by the sound of it she hasn't had that many good ones. Joey coughed, he was feeling a little drowsy and sick lately. He just hoped he would be well enough to go on his Date.
Shopkeeper: Hello, can I help you with anything sir?
Joey: Huh? Oh yeah, I'm looking for a Valentines Day gift. I want to get something really nice; I really don't care about how much it costs. The price doesn't matter at all.
Shopkeeper: Oooh Wow that's a lucky Girl your gonna give them to. Well let's see, how about Roses?
Joey: Awesome!! She'll love them! I'll take 12 Roses.
I hope likes these, I want everything to be perfect Joey thought as he passed the shopkeeper his money, he coughed a little. He just hoped he would be well enough to give her the flowers.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mai fumbled through a rack of Dresses and Skirts trying to find the perfect thing to wear for her Date with Joey. This Date meant a lot to her, she was going to spend Valentines Day with the Guy she secretly loved. So she wanted to look her best! Although there wasn't a great selection, she went to 5 stores. Finally at the last one she came down to a choice of 2 dresses, one was red, long and had one shoulder strap. The other was Pink, strapless and veerrryyy short. Really revealing.
Hmmm I don't want anything too revealing, because then Joeys eyes will be focused somewhere other then my face. Mai thought to herself and laughed. She could just imagine Joeys expression if she wore the revealing dress. So she decided to buy the long, red one.
As she walked out into the cold February air, snow started to fall. Which was strange because they didn't really have a lot of snow here in Domino City. Mai Shivered a little, it was really chilly outside, then the wind started to pick up. She didn't care though; she practically skipped back to her apartment. The snow and the freezing cold wind did not bother her at all! She could not wait for tomorrow night, it would surely be a Valentines Day to remember!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Joey stood in front of his mirror holding two shirts, trying to decide which one to wear. He never really fussed about what he wore on a date but this one was different.
Joeys Dad: Hey Brat! I'm going out, I'll be back in *burp* 2 days I guess.or whenever
Joey: Uh huh
Joeys Dad: That doesn't mean you'll be aloud to have those damn friends of yours over *hic*
Joey: Uh huh, see ya.
He sighed, as he heard the front door bang. He was used to this. It had been like this ever since his Mom and Serenity Left. Actually that was the reason his mom left; his dad has a serious Drinking problem. So his mother couldn't take it anymore, so left, but she was only aloud to take Serenity with her, his dad would not allow her to take Joey as well. He still saw his Mom and Sister but he couldn't move in just yet. Although anything would be better then living with him, his father. He finally made a decision and went over to his bed to call Mai, to see what time he was going to pick her up. As he walked over he suddenly felt very dizzy and stumbled over and fell on his bed. Joey lay there for a minuet sweat pouring down his face.
Joey: Damnit.what's been wrong with me these last few days?? I can't get sick.not now.
He lay down and fumbled for the phone and dialled Mai's Number.
Mai: Hello?
Joey: Hey Mai it's me Joey.
Mai: Oh! Hi what's up?
Joey: Nothing much. Hey I just wanted to know when you want me to pick you up tomorrow?
Mai: Well actually I was wondering if you meet me there? I have some things I need to do before the dance.
Joey: Oh yeah, no problem! *cough cough*
He started to cough, and his voice was really scratchy. He trembled a bit, he was very cold.and his throat was really sore.
Mai: Joey? Are you all right, you don't sound so good?
Joey: Huh? Oh I'm fine
He lied. His throat was really sore, but he just assumed some sleep and he would be fine.
Mai: Really?
Joey: Yeah really! Hey don't worry about me, I'm just a little tired. Anyways I'll see you tomorrow ok?
Mai: Okay. Goodbye~!
Joey: C'Ya.
Joey hung up, turned off the light and fell back onto his bed. He was really tired, hopefully some sleep would make him feel better. He slowly drifted off to sleep, and all that was going through his mind were thoughts of Mai.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mai hung up the phone and lay back on her bed. She was a little worried about Joey he sounded sick, but maybe he was right! Maybe sleep would make him better. She turned off her lamp and decided to get some sleep herself she had a very busy day tomorrow.
As she drifted off to sleep she had a most wonderful dream. It was Valentines Day and her and Joey were Dancing across the dance floor. Their Bodies were very close, and he had his string arms around her waist. He looked at in her eyes with his warm Hazel ones, and he leaned in closer. Mai Smiled in her sleep, as she hugged her pillow. That night all that was going through the minds of Joey and Mai were thoughts of each other.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
