Being Engaged With Someone You Don't Even Know !!!
(This is a Mimato fic/ I do not know if there'll be other pairings in the future)
**********************************************************
Previously:
"Mimi?" Matt confirmed. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing!" with that Mimi placed the receiver back.
"Matt who is she?" asked Stepahnie.
"..."
"Matt?"
"I' ll pick you up at 7 sharp. I just have to confront someone." then Matt hung up the phone.
*********************************************************************
Matt knocked on the wooden door about almost 10 times now, still the person inside hasn't decided to open it. "Mimi! Open this door!"
"Sorry I'm too lazy to get my butt out of this bed coz as you can seeI'm trying to havea sleep." yelled a voice inside.
"Fine!" Matt walked away from the door and towards the kitchen.
"Matt I'm sorry..." Mimi said clutching the covers towards her body. The truth is, she ofte can't understand herself. Sometimes she would claim that Matt is her fiance. But she when she realized what she had said she would convince herself that she hated him for what he had done her. 'What did he done wrong to me?' that struck her. Yes, right then and there, it is a fact that he's always pissing her. But when sometimes, when no one's looking he's trying to be nice to her. "Argh what is with him?!?" she whined rather loudly throwing both hands up in the air cause of exasperation.
Unfortunately, the door just opene and the person to blame just heard what she had just said. "I dunno." he eyed her. Examining the whole her from her head to her toe. "What are you doing? You look like you've just gotten out of Mental Hospital."
"That's what I thought I was going to ask you myself! What are you doing here?" she said throwing the pillows which the guy caught with both hands.
"For your information... let me just remind you that this is my house, that's why I have all the access within this house. And this room happened to have a spare key, that's why I had opened it. Got it? Or do I have repeat it all over again?" Matt explained trying his bet to piss her of again.
"Mr. Ishida, Uck!" Mimi made a face like she's sick or something. "You're telling me that you can do that... fine! But that's interfering with my personal stuffs. What if I'm out? Doing something like changing clothes? What---"
"Hey for once you got a brain, Oh thank God! That is exactly my point! You're messing up with MY life! MY phone calls...what's with you, huh?" he asked with hands crossed infront of his chest. He's now sitting at end of the bed. What Matt had said kept her silent. True, what she did was wrong. 'Stupid mouth! Why can't you just shut up?' she scolded herself in her thoughts.
"So I guess I just have to leave THAT to you're consience. That IS if you have one." Matt said standing up.
"Of courseI have one... that's why I'm saying you this, I'm sorry..." she bowed her head to show that she is sincere asking an apology. Matt just smiled to her and stode away. Mimi sensed this, "Where are you--"
"Going? To my room, I want to have a rest. I have a date, you knew that, right? afterall you heard our conversation, right?" Matt said trying his best to increase guilt inside her and he was successful at the look of the situation.
"You're still going?"
"Uh-huh."
"You already have me as your fiancee then you're having another one! How dare--"
"You're the one who started this, and hey you told me that you hate us, that includes me right? And I thought no one like this engagement so why would we stick to the idea?"
Mimi felt her eyes' warmth, saying that she's about to let out a tear. But don't want him to see her crying over him, that would just makehim more proud. So she gulped everything. "Yeah you're right, I too havea date. You go and rest while I'll have a rest too."
"Yeah whatever!" Matt rolled his eyes and 'What was her drama afterall?' he mumbled to himself and with that Mimi was again left all alone to herself in her new luxurous room.
************************************
Matt really don't want to go to this 'date' it was just last week that he and Stephanie broke up. And now she's coming back to him. He don't want this, the only reason that he's doing this is... 'Why am I really doing this?' Matt asked himself while staring at the ceiling. Lying on his bed, he's thinking about his date. 'Is this a smart move? I guess I don't have any feelings for my ex-gf anymore... but why am I dating her again?' he thought more, then this voice come to his mind 'Maybe you really don't want to go, you just don't want to be left out. Coz Mimi's got a date.' Matt realized that he has clenched his fist upon the thought, so he unclenched it. 'Who is she dating anyway?... hey what do I care?'
Annoyed with himself, he got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom and when he got out. The fresh scent of him filled the room. He picked a navy blue polo shirt and black pants for his date. He applied his musk and prepared himself more, of course he wanted to look good for tonight, at least.
Mimi on the other hand, realized that its about time she prepare herself for her 'date'. So she got out of bed and took a bath then went straight to her closet. She really doesn't feel like going anymore to her so-called date but she got no choice, what's done is done. "I don't know, but I got a bad feeing about this..." she mumble to herself while taking out her pink halter top and gray skirt and to match it with black boots. She wore her accessories in place, which includes some other stuffs.
**********************************************
Micheal's now facing the Ishida's gate, wearing his casual clothes. He arrived there at lease three minute before seven in hand for he doesn't have any intention keeing his date waiting. He ringed the bell three times. And a maid dress in uniform answered him, which also directed him inside. She told him to sit on the luxurious sofa before she went upstairs to notify the girl.
It didn't took long before Mimi was infront of him, and Oh! he can't even take his eyes off her. But unfortunately, she wasn't alone she's with a certain blonde guy with spiked hair, who all in all look very... undescribable.
"Who's he?" the guy asked Mimi.
"Oh, Matt meet Micheal. Micheal meet Matt." Mimi introduced.
"Nice to meet you." Micheal greeted him stretching his hand out for him to shake. Matt looked at his hands for a second 'So this guy's her date...' Matt thought who can't help but to feel jealous with the guy whose hand is reaching for his for a hand shake. Next to this he accepted it.
"Very well then, I have to go. I have a date too you know." Matt said his voice hinting something.
"Nice meeting you again." Micheal said. "Yeah me too." then Matt plastered a fake smileon his face.
***************************************************************************
Matt arrived infront of Stephanie's house and honked. After three, she was out and they were off the road without a single word said. While driving Matt realized that Stephanie's acting a little odd for tonight. He studied her clothes, shes just wearing a short black skirt to match her maroon tube top. She crossed her leg over her right, revealing her white legs. Stephanie knew this would take effect on him but to her suprisehe didn't even react from it. And that's where the silence was broken.
"Don't tell me that you think that still have that effect on me." he stated firmly.
"What do you mean?" it was Stephanie who tried to sound as innocent as she could.
Matt chuckled a bit. "You know Steph, I know you could do better than that. C'mon show me a better act."
"Matt, what is your point anyway?"
"My point? Nothing. Well anyway let's change the topic." Matt said thinking of some other things they could talkabout while Stephanie's sat still with no word at all.
"What do you want with me?"
"I want you back."
"Give me a good reason why."
"I love you---"
"Crap." Then Matt step at the brake. "We're here." he said coldly. He got out of the car and went over to her door and opened it for her, being a gentleman. They were silent all the way through. After the order things, they sat silent waiting for their meal. "Why don't we change our topic?"
"Fine with me." Matt said cooly but still, cold.
"Matt it is really nice of you to go out with me tonight." she looked around at the cozy restaurant while Matt's just staring at the white table cloth. "What's with this cloth that you want to stare at it more than me?" she's starting to get annoyed.
"Huh? Uh-maybe its purer."
"Matt what it your problem anyway? I'm trying to patch things up then you're here heating things up?" she said exasperatedly. Matt paused for a minute as he spotted the waiter's coming. He didn't reply until he the waiter hasn't finished placing their dinner. He can't take it anymore, he must end this all once and for all so he let her fnish her dinner before he began...
************************************
Mimi noticed since they entered the car, there was something in her date's eye that she couldn't seemed to understand. It's more like, he wanted something from her badly. In his eyes she could see admiration and something far more than that. He started the car, she placed her hands at her side and she's now beginning to reallized that it was very wrong, no she's crazy for wearing skirt. 'I knew it! I should've wore pants than this!' she mentally scold herself.
"Why are you wringgling around like that?"
"Me? Oh no, you must be mistaken. I'm completely fine." she denied.
"Ok." then he sped up the car more. In no time they arrived at a cozy restaurant. He's been a gentleman to her that's why she calmed her alertness a little but she just couldn't help herself noticing his touch when he led her inside the establishment. His stares that seemed to bore deep into her soul and she didn't like it at all.
They ordered their dinner. In times Mimi couldn't help bu to blame herself to be carried away by her anger to this stupid date. She just couldn't take his mind over the fact that she know not much about the whereabouts of the place they're in. Micheal inched a few more closer to her then she flinched. "Easy, I don't bite." he said with a little chuckle.
"I'm fine. I guess I'm just a little cold here inside."
"Hey I have an idea, why don't we go outside and take a walk?"
"Uh--sounds nice..." she agreed doubtfully. He assisted her out of the seat gently. Then led her out of the establishment. At the corner of Mimi's eyes she thought she saw a girl's face buried in her hands and a guy with spiky- blond hair )((his back facing her). 'Poor girl...' she thought, Micheal seemed to notice this. "Don't mind them." he said.
"Ok..." she said, now she's wondering where Matt could be. 'Are they enjoying their night out?'
**************************************************************************** **********
"Matt that is so rude of you!" Steph said with her face buried in her hands.
"I'm not just accusing you. I'm telling you what I saw!"
"Matt no you must be mistaken! I'm not cheating you or something, I didn't go even a minute with Josh, I swear!" she then sobbed uncontrolably.
"Steph, don't make a scene here!" he tried to reach for her. But she shoved his hands away. "You care about the scene, but me? Do you care about me? Me whose always been faithful to you!" she said raising her voice.
"That does it! You think I don't have a proof? What will you say for yourself if I told that I was the one who caught you? At the backstage last Friday, huh? Was that you whose kissing Josh passionately like there's no tommorow? I had have enough of your pitiful excuses! I'm outta here!" he took off his wallet and left more than enough money at the table then out of the establishment to the car park.
***********************
"Has anyone told you how beautiful you are?" Micheal said.
"Me? Ah... of course." Mimi said while sitting on a bench. They were now at some dark place with bushes everywhere. 'This must be a garden, park or something...'
"To me... you look one of a kind." he whispered to her ear.
"Thanks." she said standing up. She don't want a close distance with the guy she's with. She turned her back at him. "Micheal, I don't feel good, maybe we could go out some other time... I want to go home."
She could swear she felt a pair of arms hugged her from behind. When she lok at her waist, she's right someone's hugging her! "Micheal what are you doing?"
"You seemed to be cold..."
"I'm not cold! I wnat to go home NOW!" she said shakily. He brought his face to her neck and tried to kiss her but she pushed her away. She pushed her with all her might but he won't just let her go from his grip. She slapped his face then she kicked her he backed away from her, then she took her chance she ran fast, fast as could towards again the restaurant, she thought maybe there she could ask for security or even someone who could help her get back to the Ishida's. As she run she didn't even look where she was going when she bumped onto something.
"Sorry!" she said standing up. She was suprised to see the person she bumped into.
"What are you doing here?" the guy said.
"Matt? I thought you were on a date?"
"I was but then, why do you have to know?"
"Oh shut up!"
"Where's your date?" Matt seemed to guess some details upon the look on her watery eyes. "C'mon I'll take you home." he said placing a hand on his shoulders.
"You? You would do that for me?"
"Yeah why not?"
"Thanks... but no thanks."
"Who would bring you home?"
"Do you care?"
"Fine! I'm going home you stay here."
"Wait. I was just playing hard to get." she said trying to smile. He knew she was kidding him. He led her inside the car. Once inside, her tears began to flow silently. When he started the car, he knew she's crying but decided to keep silent. The drive was indeed silent but they their direction seemed not to lead to the Ishida's residence. On their way, Matt bought 4 cups of hot chocolate.
"Matt where are we going?" she asked while wiping her tears.
"Trust me. Just sit back, here use this." he handed her his handkerchief. He said as he continued his driving.
"Thanks." Matt stopped the car on a deserted place. When they got out of the car, Mimi noticed that they were somewhere like a cliff, the place is grassy and from their location, you can see the busy city from afar.The place is so silent.
"Why are we here?"
"You can't go home with that face..." he said talking about her tears. "I guess you and your Micheal didn't worked out huh?" Mimi just nodded. "You can tell me if you want or if you feel like it. It's ok if you don't want to talk about it, I understand." Mimi looked at his face, he seemed to be sincere.
"He wanted 'something' from me and I don't like it. I had this feeling since we got into the car, I just ignored it coz I thought he'll respect me or something but I was wrong, he wanted to take advantage of my innocence." her tears began to flow freely again on her cheek. He didn't say anything, he waited for her to finish when he sensed that she's through, she noticed that she just wiped her tears dry. He handed him a cup of hot chocolate And she accepted it. She sat at the hood of his car followed by his company.They shared the moment silently then to Mimi's suprise Matt looked at her and asked her...
"Why do we always fight?"
She didn't know what to say. He's right, and she didn't know why too. "I don't know." she shrugged "Maybe we just, I don't know!"
"..." he didn't feel like saying this but he wanted peace and its enough to make your ex-girlfriend cry this night, he wanted at least one DEAR to him at peace. 'Wait a second, did I just thought dear?' he thought.
"Why don't we start all over again? I mean, us, friends. How's that?" he asked her which made the girl turn her head swiftly. 'Did he just said friends? I guess there's some medicine mixed at his dinner... I think he's sick.' she thought. "You're alright?" she touched his forehead. "You don't look like you're sick... that's means you really want friendship out of me? Like, you and me?"
"Yeah... you know youare really annoying! Do I look like kiding?"
"No."
"That's it! Now, you like it or not?"
"Sounds good to me. But hey-- how about the engagement thing?"
"Well let's not think about it, we'll just be friends and if fate says were really not meant for each other, we'll justtalk to our moms and dads and tell them we couldn't really work it out.How's that sounds?" he said it with a smile. mimi returned the smile. "You got it, friend." then Matt placed his arms around his new found friend, same as Mimi. They talked for more up to the time the hot chocolate ends up to the ast drop. When they realized that its too late, they decided to go back home.
**************************************************************************** ***
Anyone who have a question? Could they work it out as friends? What happened to Steph and Micheal? What's with their engagement now? Parents, where are they? What will happen now to Mimi and Matt? If their friendship's ok, there's only 2 possiblities... love to bloom or the fact that the can only be friends.

"Matt? I thought you were on a date?"
"I was but then, why do you have to know?"
"Oh shut up!"
"Where's your date?" Matt seemed to guess some details upon the look on her watery eyes. "C'mon I'll take you home." he said placing a hand on his shoulders.
"You? You would do that for me?"
"Yeah why not?"
"Thanks... but no thanks."
"Who would bring you home?"
"Do you care?"
"Fine! I'm going home you stay here."
"Wait. I was just playing hard to get." she said trying to smile. He knew she was kidding him. He led her inside the car. Once inside, her tears began to flow silently. When he started the car, he knew she's crying but decided to keep silent. The drive was indeed silent but they their direction seemed not to lead to the Ishida's residence. On their way, Matt bought 4 cups of hot chocolate.
"Matt where are we going?" she asked while wiping her tears.
"Trust me. Just sit back, here use this." he handed her his handkerchief. He said as he continued his driving.
"Thanks." Matt stopped the car on a deserted place. When they got out of the car, Mimi noticed that they were somewhere like a cliff, the place is grassy and from their location, you can see the busy city from afar.The place is so silent.
"Why are we here?"
"You can't go home with that face..." he said talking about her tears. "I guess you and your Micheal didn't worked out huh?" Mimi just nodded. "You can tell me if you want or if you feel like it. It's ok if you don't want to talk about it, I understand." Mimi looked at his face, he seemed to be sincere.
"He wanted 'something' from me and I don't like it. I had this feeling since we got into the car, I just ignored it coz I thought he'll respect me or something but I was wrong, he wanted to take advantage of my innocence." her tears began to flow freely again on her cheek. He didn't say anything, he waited for her to finish when he sensed that she's through, she noticed that she just wiped her tears dry. He handed him a cup of hot chocolate And she accepted it. She sat at the hood of his car followed by his company.They shared the moment silently then to Mimi's suprise Matt looked at her and asked her...
"Why do we always fight?"
She didn't know what to say. He's right, and she didn't know why too. "I don't know." she shrugged "Maybe we just, I don't know!"
"..." he didn't feel like saying this but he wanted peace and its enough to make your ex-girlfriend cry this night, he wanted at least one DEAR to him at peace. 'Wait a second, did I just thought dear?' he thought.
"Why don't we start all over again? I mean, us, friends. How's that?" he asked her which made the girl turn her head swiftly. 'Did he just said friends? I guess there's some medicine mixed at his dinner... I think he's sick.' she thought. "You're alright?" she touched his forehead. "You don't look like you're sick... that's means you really want friendship out of me? Like, you and me?"
"Yeah... you know youare really annoying! Do I look like kiding?"
"No."
"That's it! Now, you like it or not?"
"Sounds good to me. But hey-- how about the engagement thing?"
"Well let's not think about it, we'll just be friends and if fate says were really not meant for each other, we'll justtalk to our moms and dads and tell them we couldn't really work it out.How's that sounds?" he said it with a smile. mimi returned the smile. "You got it, friend." then Matt placed his arms around his new found friend, same as Mimi. They talked for more up to the time the hot chocolate ends up to the ast drop. When they realized that its too late, they decided to go back home.
