Alley Way
Matt's POV
I woke up to the feeling of Mimi stirring in her sleep. I opened my eyes only to find two very big cinnamon ones looking into mine. "Good you're awake I had a dream about u!" she exclaimed climbing on top of me. "A good dream?" I questioned flirtatiously. "No a rotten one!" She said sourly. "What happened in it?" I asked.
"well… You were driving my car, no wait not driving, racing my car and you were up against that chick from last night… Uhh whats her face…" "Thalia" I cut in. "What ever, anyways you were racing against her and you beat her then those guys she was with advanced on you and I ran up towards them and then they turned on me. Then everything went black and I was in an alley laying in front of a black door." She explained.
"What a vivid dream, but what happened to me?" I asked with a smirk on my face. "I don't know you weren't the star in my dream I was." She said smugly. "I wasn't the star? I'm hurting!" I laughed. She laughed and got up and headed to the dresser. "Can I borrow your black t-shirt?" She asked pulling out a ragged t-shirt. "You can but I don't know why you would ever want to, that thing is so torn." I laughed while looking at the shirt with disgust. "I like it!" she defended herself. "Each to their own I suppose," I said while sitting up from the bed.
Mimi's apartment was like a white cloud, everything in her house was white except for one room, the bathroom. Her bathroom was blinding yellow, including a matching yellow, sink, shower and toilet set. I don't know how she managed that. Her bedroom though looked like it had been kissed by an angel it was so white. I stood up and picked up my black towel from her closet the only other color in the house and walked towards to the bathroom.
After my shower I stalked into Mimi's kitchen to find Mimi standing over a stove making bacon and toast.
"Do you always make my favourite every time I stay the night with you?" I asked kissing her neck. She giggled and turned her head so she could kiss me. "No, it just so happens I wanted bacon and toast this morning." She smiled while plopping the bacon and toast onto a plate for me. "That so?" I asked sitting down at the table with her. "I've been meaning to talk to you, I want you to try against Thalia again," I said. Mimi froze in her chair. "No, I won't be humiliated by some girl who is out to steel you from me," She spat. "Like she could," I said calmly.
After much begging and pleading Mimi finally caved and decided to race against Thalia, much against her own free will. She walked out of her bedroom dressed in a tight silk white skirt with black dragons on it with a black shirt with the sleeves cut off and her hair hung loosely down her back like it always did.
"I don't know why I agreed to this Matt," mumbled Mimi as she sped down the deserted high way. "Because you know I'm right," I laughed while I leaned back. "Actually I agreed with this because I don't get sad I get angry," she shot back while speeding through a red light. "It was green," she said while pulling into the abandoned building's parking lot. I laughed "Yes a green sort of red color,"
"Matt, Mimi!" shouted Blake as he caught up to us walking towards the crowd. "I'm surprised you came, who's racing you or Mimi?" asked Blake directing his question at me. "Mimi," I replied. "Who is she here to race against?" questioned Blake in a baffled tone. "Thalia" Answered Mimi while pushing past him.
"You better have put one hell of an engine in that car today Matt if you want her to beat Thalia," stated Blake. "What Mimi doesn't know doesn't hurt her, I took her car out to get some "new tires," I took it to my garage and customized her engine so it will work with nitro methane, you know the stuff they use in nascar? Well that's one hundred times more powerful than NOS," I explained. "You sure that's safe for a back road parking lot?" He asked. "Well we are racing on the abandoned strip right?" I inquired. "Yeah but I don't know is there enough room for her to slow down in time?" added Blake. "Yes positive there isn't enough in there to let her keep that speed up for very long. After all I really did change her tires," I smiled while walking back towards Mimi.
"Hey Mimi got to talk to you for a second ok?" I asked taking her hand and leading her away from the crowd. "When you start racing press your NOS button at the beginning ok?" I ordered. "Well what good is that going to do? I only have one NOS tank in there not two I'll run out to fast!" She argued. "No trust me you won't, you should know by now I don't just fix your tires," I winked and put my arm around her back and lead her over to the crowd.
I watched as Thalia pulled up with her entourage behind her. "Ah Matt I see you've come back to watch me win again?" She flashed perfect white teeth at me. This time she was wearing a short red Chinese style dress that cut off just above her thighs. "Yes I'm here to watch my girlfriend's opponent win, you're not that privileged with my presence," I chuckled. She glared at me and opened her car door. "Are we going to race today Kiki?" She asked. "Who's Kiki?" I asked looking over at her with a confused glance. "Isn't that your girlfriends name?" She asked. I started to reply. "No its-" "Mimi," Mimi cut into the conversation with her voice dripping of pure venom. "The least you could do is learn my name, its Mimi."
Blake held his gun up in the air and the loud bang echoed off the buildings. The two cars sped down the road, at first Thalia's car was ahead like last time but then out of no where Mimi's car got this power rush and the car flew past
Thalia and through the finish line. When their cars finally stopped Mimi stepped out of the car and fell onto the ground. I rushed to her side.
She was panting out air. "What…Did…You…Do…Yamato…Ishida!?" she questioned through intakes of air. "You like?" I smiled down at her. "My gosh what an adrenaline rush that was!" She screamed while standing up. "Not only that I won!"
Thalia pulled up in her car and stepped out and walked towards Mimi laughing. "You pressed your NOS button way earlier than me and still beat me, I smell nitro methane, I'm impressed only a very very talented mechanic would be able to install such a system into a car. Very good job Matt, suppose I can't invite you to stay on the winning team, I think you should come and tune up my engine sometime," She winked and walked back to her car. And her entourage pulled up behind her and they all headed out towards the end of the road.
"Matt I can't believe I beat her! I'm so happy now," she screamed while we drove down the deserted highway back to Mimi's apartment building. "What a turn around from last night," I laughed as I leaned back in my seat. "I'm glad you convinced me to go," She smiled while screeching around a corner. "Easy on your wheels, and I think you're pure hatred drove you to come…" I ended my sentence and went back to enjoying the feeling of the wind on my face.
Somewhere else…
"Zank you for your merchandize but I must zay I'm not impressed vith your service policies, zey are outrageous and unpredictable. Now vut is your policy on returning items if zey do not vurk vell enough for me and my company?" Asked the man with the French accent.
"If they do not work well for you then pay another fee and we will ship you other more newer and advanced ones, but I assure you these are top of the line quality weapons, designed especially for your particular industry." Explained the woman.
"I vill take the three loads then if you guarantee they're quality," added the man as he walked out of the alley.
The woman watched the man as he walked down the abandoned road.
"That mad will have to be watched, he will be back but he will bring others and the people we do business with must be watched for a week before we let them in," said the woman. The woman then left the men and walked up the stairs to a bedroom where she removed her red Chinese style dress and replaced it with silk jade green pyjama pants and matching top. .
At Mimi's apartment
Mimi wrapped her arms around me neck and bent down to kiss me, "I love you," she stated before rolling onto her side of the bed. "I love you too, I'm glad you're in a happier mood," I finished my sentence as she turned out her lamp on her side.
I laid there for a while looking out the window at the stars and down at the streets of Japan. I watched the deserted streets and sidewalks. I looked back at Mimi and reflected on how last year I almost lost her to that fag Jyoe, that was when I knew I let someone finally get close to me, I wouldn't have before her. I would push everyone except my closest friends away but she rejected me while no one else ever dared to. I grinned to myself, the girl does what she wants. But I still wonder what is with that Thalia girl, she's beautiful and I think Mimi is scared about her. I think she is frightened that she will steal me away from her. Like that could happen though.
I treaded back to Mimi's bedroom where I watched her sleep until I too fell asleep with my arms wrapped around her waste.
The next morning I awoke and Mimi was still asleep so I left her a note and headed off down town to meet my friend Ginta down at a café. When I arrived I sat down at a table to wait for Ginta , the café was an outdoors café so we were exposed to the road and the moving traffic, it was such a perfect sunny day too
. "Yamato I have not seen you forever man, how you been?" Asked Ginta while pulling me into as he walked towards me. "I'm great but look at you, you look so much more happy than the last time I saw you!" I exclaimed while sitting down. "Yeah well I've been a lot more lucky since the last time I saw you hey?" He said with a smile on his face. "What do you mean a lot more lucky?" I smiled curiously.
"Well I've got to tell you I've gotten into this new business, weapons smuggling business and the people I work with are pro at what they do, the girl who runs it is amazing, she knows everything there is to know about it. I know a girl hey? Normally you would think it would be a guy in the business but no it's a woman. But she's the best no guy in the smuggling business could beat her out. I mean she carries out her plans stealthily, she goes in and out and you would have never known she was there kind of like a femme 'Jack the Ripper'. She watches her clients before she allows them to peruse their orders. And you name anything you want and she'll have it ordered within minutes. I'm one of the people working there that goes and picks up her shipments for her. Plus she street races too! Hey don't you street race?" finished Ginta as he had a sip of his coffee.
"Yeah, but I haven't in a really long time my girlfriend Mimi has been doing most of the racing these days, she just beat a girl last night who had won against Mimi the previous night, the girl's got potential when she's angry." I laughed while drinking my water. "Yeah well I'm glad to hear you finally have settled down relatively, she not a flavor?" Asked Ginta. "No she's not a flavor of the week, I've been with her for almost a year now I'd say." I replied as I began to eat my soup. "Oh I'm going to be late I have to go I'll catch up with you later, and remember if you ever need any sort of weaponry let me know," Said ginta quickly as he gathered his things. "Hey Ginta, what was the name of the girl you work for? I'll see if I spot her tonight." I shouted after him. "Thalia!" He replied while chasing a taxi down the road. Thalia was a gun smuggler?
Well we learn something new in this chapter… I'll post chapter three soon! Please remember to review! ^. Fuschia
