What I want

Chapter 3 - Shopping, coffee and war!

*What a day.* Taichi thought to himself as he got out of his bed. The rays of bright sunlight had woken him up since he had forgotten to close up his curtains, after yesterdays fiasco with the bathroom. Honestly, you would think a big villa like this would have more than two bathrooms. Taichi walked over to his bedside table and got a new pair of boxers out of the draw. Replacing the boxers he had on with the new pair he walked over to his walldrobe and got some shorts.

He entered the bathroom and was relieved to see no one allready in there. He walked over to the huge marble sink and looked into the mirror. God didn't he look terrible. *Maybe I should take a shower.* he thought, making sure all the doors were locked so nobody could interrupt him this time.

He stripped his shorts and boxers off and started the shower. He set it to the right temperature and stepped in. Immediately he felt his muscels relax and he felt rather refreshed. Then he noticed the little built in radio next to the shower head and he switched it on. The music started and Tachi turned the volume up so there was nothing else he could hear.

Takeru, who was trying to sleep in the room next to the bathroom woke up with a start and made his way over to the bathroom door. He tried to open it but it was locked, so he started banging on the door.

"Taichi? Is that you?" He tried shouting over the music but it was no use. He banged his fists even harder against the door and then heard Taichis voice start to sing along with the music.

"Oh great. He better not do this every morning." He said to himself as he gave up banging the door and headed down for the kitchen. Yamato and Ken were allready up and having their breakfast.

"What's up with you?" Yamato asked looking at the sleepy face of his brother.

"Taichi's in the shower singing to the radio on full volume." Takeru said settling himself down on one of the chairs.

Yamato looked at him seriously for a while and then couldn't hold his laughter back. Ken started to laugh too and Takeru glared at them.

"Very funny! You don't have to try and sleep with that racket do you now?"

"Sorry oniisan, it's just the thought of Taichi singing in the shower that seems so funny." Yamato said between his laughter.

"What's so funny?" Daisuke asked, coming down the stairs seeing everybody except Takeru laughing.

"Taichi's singing in the shower." Ken told him and he was surprised that Daisuke didn't start laughing.

"I know. He's hogging the bathroom. How long does it take to shower and do his style of hair? It seems like he's taking all day." Daisuke said seriously.

"What's up with everybody today? It's like someone just died." Yamato looked at the two young teens which looked extremely serious at him.

"Honestly we're on holiday."

Meanwhile Taichi had finished his shower and was sat on his bed contemplating his plans for the day. First he was going to go with Yamato food shopping and then take him to a café and after that they would all go to a party on the beach. Yep, that's definitely what he wanted to do today. If he was going to win over Yamas heart he might as well start today.

He got off his bed and headed down into the kitchen. He ignored the glares he was getting from Takeru and Daisuke and instead went straight outside to see if Yamato was out there.

"Hey Yamato! You fancy going shopping later?" Taichi asked Yamato who was sunbathing on one of the deckchairs.

"Sorry Taichi, Mike came round this morning and asked me to come round later, maybe Daisuke will go with you." Yamato replied not even looking at Taichi. Taichi looked at him disappoiningly and went back into the villa. He walked back into the kitchen and poured some cerial into his bowl. Adding the milk he then let himself fall onto the couch and turned the Tv on.

Daisuke came into the livingroom and watched Taichi eat his bowl of cerial slowly and depressingly.

"You know, you can't do this everytime he turns you down." Daisuke had seen Taichi like this many times and it was always because of Yamato.

"Wanna bet I can." Taichi said bored of what he was watching and turning his attention to Daisuke.

"You wanna go shopping?" Daisuke asked Taichi. He knew if anything would cheer Taichi up it would be shopping in a big mall.

"As long as you don't ask Mike to come along." Taichi said full of venom especially as he said Mikes name.

"Don't worry I wont. I don't really like him. Anyway we need to hurry, the bus leaves soon."

Taichi put his bowl aside and followed Daisuke out of the villa. The bus stop wasn't too far away and it only took them five minutes to get there. They had gotten there five minutes earlier than expected and were shocked to see Ken and Takeru allready sitting there.

"Hey! What are you two doing here?" Daisuke asked looking suspiciously at Takeru. Ken let out a sigh and explained.

"We're going to an art museum, remember? I asked you to come with but you didn't want to come."

Daisuke stopped to think shortly. "Oh yeah."

"It's only our second day here and you two are going to an art museum?" Taichi asked them sounding like they were out of their minds.

"Why not? I happen to like art and Takeru's only coming because no one else would." Ken said sending a glare at Daisuke. But he didn't really notice, he was to busy watching the bus come up the road.

"Are you taking this bus too?" Taichi asked Ken.

"No, ours comes in five minutes."

"Well then see you later." Taichi smiled at them as he and Daisuke entered the bus. They both went and sat down in the last row.

"Does he really think I could go into one of these art museums and look quietly at pictures?" Daisuke asked Taichi.

"Well maybe you should have gone with him. I mean you do want to get together with Ken don't you?"

"Yeah, more than anything."

"Then show more interest in things he likes." Taichi advised Daisuke.

"Hey that's good advice, Taichi."

*I know but why doesn't it work for me?* Taichi asked himself as he watched Daisuke looking out of the window, care free. It didn't take long before they had arrived at the mall. It was really big and was so crowded. They entered the mall through the glasdoors that led into the mall and looked around. There were shops as far as the eye could see. There were clothes shops and food shops and little café too. And Taichi being a shopaholic was in heaven. But there was just one problem. everything was in spanish, the signs the people were all talking spanish and it just accord to Taichi that he didn't have any spanish money.

He looked at Daisuke and it seemed that he had forgotten that everything would be different too. That's the problem when you live normal with your best friends in a villa. you sometimes forget where you actually are.

"So, what are we going to do now?" Daisuke asked Taichi, hoping for an answer.

"Maybe there's an information stand somewhere near by." He said as he looked around and then he found a map of the mall. He searched through the map with his cocoa-brown eyes and found what he thought might be the info- stand.

"Can you actually read anything on that map?" Daisuke asked with an uncertain tone in his voice.

"No, but I think that a big red i is usually the info-stand." Taichi said triumphantly.

"True." Daisuke said shrugging his shoulders and followed Taichi out of the main corridor. As they got to the stand a lady greeted them with a smile.

"Good day. How may I be of any help?" she asked them both.

"We're from japan on holiday here and we wanted to ask if.." Taichi stopped trying to talk to the lady as she kept waving her hair back and sticking her rather oversized chest out at him.

"Excuse me could you maybe stop that?" he tried asking her politly.

"Stop what?"

"Waving your oversized balloons at me." He said trying not to be rude.

"But don't boys usually like that sort of thing?" she asked innocently.

"Not when the boys prefer boys to girls. To be honest I find it rather. well, how can I put this. rather off putting."

The girl shot Taichi a glare and slapped him hard on the cheek, then left without another word.

"Wow! Go Taichi!" Daisuke cheered but stopped at the look on Taichis face.

The other lady at the counter saw what had happened and came over to them.

"I'm sorry that you had to go through that." Sha apologized to them. "She has a habbit of waving her things at good looking men."

"Oh don't worry about it. I think she won't be doing it for a while after what I said."

"Yes. I see she didn't take it very well then." She said looking at the red hand print on Taichis face.

"No, but I'll survive."

"So, what did you two want anyway?"

"We wouldn't mind a map of the mall, but it would be nice to have it in english." He added quickly seeing the lady get a spanish one and then an english one.

"Problems with the language hey?"

"Yeah. Can't speak a word of it. Oh and is there a cash machine anywhere close by? We got no money either."

"Yes there is. Just walk down that corridor and then turn right, there should be one there."

They followed the directions the lady had given them and got some money out of the machine. They had a look around the mall, always having to see what the shop was called on the map but soon Taichi found the perfect shop for him. It was a clothes shop for men and it sold mostly only summer wear. They walked around the shop. Taichi picking up every nice pair of shorts he saw, just tossed them over at Daisuke to carry. Once he had found all the pairs he wanted to try on he went over to the changing rooms and tried them on.

Daisuke settled himself down on the sofa oppisite Taichis changing cubicle, waiting to give Taichi his opinion. It took a while before Taichi came out with the first pair.

"Hey! They look wicked!" Daisuke said taking in Taichis whole figure.

"You think so? They don't make me look like I have a big bum do they?"

"No way. They look awesome on you."

"Do you think Yama will like them?" Taichi asked looking at the shorts. The were sky blue and at the bottom they had a beach with palmtrees printed on them.

"Ah. so we're buying to impress, are we?" Daisuke asked suspiciously.

"No, I just want to know if you think he would like them." Taichi said frowning at Daisuke.

"Yeah right. Whatever. I think he would like anything if it's on your mighty fine body."

"Dai, you're supposed to be trying to get Ken. Not me."

"I'm not trying to hit on you. I just telling you the truth." Daisuke gave Taichi a smile.

"I think I'll take them. Could you put the other shorts back for me." He said tossing Daisuke the rest of the shorts he hadn't tried on.

"You're not even going to try them on?" he asked confused.

"Nah. I've got enough shorts at the villa, I don't need any more."

They returned to the counter and paid for the shorts. Not only were they good looking but cheap as well. After that they went shopping for some food to bring back to the villa. Taichi was enjoying himself unlike Daisuke. He had been complaining all the time they were shopping, because he was apparently dying of thurst. So Taichi, no longer wanting to hear Daisuke complain, decided to stop in a little café on the way out.

"Finally, we get to sit down." Daisuke let out a sigh of relief.

"What? You were sitting all the time in the clothes shop."

"So? I find walking very exhausting."

"Yeah, I've noticed." Taichi watched Daisuke for a while and then the waiter came over to them.

"Your order please." He said and Taichi quickly looked at the offers.

"A Latte Macchiato, please."

"I'll have the same." Daisuke added not knowing what to have himself.

"Good. It'll be ready in a few minutes. Enjoy your stay." The waiter left the table and Daisuke gave Taichi a questioning look.

"What?" Taichi asked Daisuke confused.

"What's a Latte Macchiato?" Taichi couldn't believe his ears.

"What? So you just ordered the same as me without knowing what it was?"

"Yeah. I'm happy as long as it's not a coffee drink."

Taichi gave Daisuke a serious look and then bursted into laughter.

"What?"

Taichi tried to hold his laughter back but it was just too funny.

"It's a coffee drink, isn't it?" Daisuke shot Taichi an evil look.

"I'm afraid so. But there's a lot of milk in it. Maybe you'll like it." Taichi just finished laughing as the waiter came over with the drinks. They were in glasses and Daisuke examined it, disgusted. There was hot milk on the bottom then came a strip of espresso and over that milky foam.

"I'm never going to order the same as you again." Daisuke said pushing his glas over to Taichi.

"Don't worry about it. I'll drink it. You can order something else, okay?"

"Fine but you need to tell me what it is before I order it."

In the end he just order a normal coke, he couldn't be bothered to have anything else. When they were finished they were just about to leave Taichi saw two people he knew enter the café.

"What are they doing here?" Taichi asked with a hint of jealousy in his voice.

"Who?" Daisuke asked looking in the direction Taichi was. It took a while but then Daisuke saw who Taichi was talking about.

"It's only Mike and Yamato. What's the big deal?"

"What's the big deal? He's going out with my Yama!" Taichi said, starting to boil with anger.

"Taichi, you don't even know if they're going out. For all you know they might be only getting a drink like us."

"How dare he! This means war!"

"Taichi, aren't you over reacting a bit?" Daisuke asked trying to calm Taichi down.

"No way am I over reacting. You would do the same if it was Ken. Anyway he has What I want and I'll do anything to get Yamato away from him!"
