Chapter 6 – Beauty sleep
Yamato drove Sora home in his sleek, midnight black, BMW Z4 convertible. [AN: lolz, sorry, but I just had to add that in… *sigh* I love that car.] He had let the top down and the wind now playfully ran through Sora's auburn strands, making them dance. Yamato enjoyed the ride; the soft wind allowing him to catch tempting whiffs of Sora's jasmine scent. The blonde felt unexplainably proud to finally be able to describe her heavenly scent with such precision.
Sora yawned from the passenger seat and Yamato stole a quick glance of the sweet girl. "Tired already?" He teased.
She shook her head, wild strands flying up around her, "No way." And went on to explain, "Lack of sleep."
Yamato grinned, "tsk tsk, bad Sora. Then again I guess it's okay for you since you don't possibly need anymore beauty sleep."
The girl's cheeks tinted and she giggled, "Just take me home, flirt."
The handsome singer chuckled lightly with his baritone voice, "Fine, fine, where do you live?" he asked, glancing at the redhead seated beside him in the passenger seat. The temporary lighting of the street lamps they passed allowed for brief moments of revelation of the girl's pretty features.
"201 McKenzie Boulevard." Sora answered.
Yamato's eyes widened, "Wow, Tai was telling the truth for once. I live on 220 McKenzie."
"Whoa, that's just about a block away… how… coincidental?" Sora answered, trying to find the right word.
The blonde nodded, "Guess I'll be seeing more of you then." He grinned and winked at her.
Sora rolled her eyes and smirked in a playful manner, "Flirt."
The car pulled up to the classy building when it was well into the night. Sora got out of the car by herself, though Yamato had gotten out to open the door for her. The tall building loomed over the pair as Sora thanked Yamato for the ride and quickly ran inside the lobby. He watched her walk out of his sight before he got back into his automobile and drove the short distance home.
*~*~*~*~*
Sora lived in the penthouse on the very top of the building. It was a grand total of three patios, two floors, three bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen, and a dining room. Wide windows lined the walls, veiled by luxurious curtains. The girl stepped into the house, after unlocking the door and turned on the lights. The house was quite, like it always was, but then again, that was one of the many reasons why she had loved it so much. The redhead walked into her bedroom and fell into her soft comforters, sighing happily for no apparent reason. A light sleep claimed her.
A few hours later, Yamato lay in bed, staring at the plainly colored ceiling. He had taken a shower and his work sat done on his birch corner desk. The room was spotless, but then again, they had maids that cleaned it everyday. Multiple shelves of books lined neatly against the wall to the left of the bed, and to the right, a door led to the balcony. The room was comfortable, yet completely against his desires. Nothing expressed him, except a guitar and a music stand in the corner. There were no posters, no paintings, just plain walls, and plain furniture in a hopelessly neat cell.
He needed to breathe.
It was clear sleep wasn't going to come easily and so he got out of bed. Walking onto the balcony in his pajamas, he gazed up at the stars and couldn't help but think about what Sora was doing now. The girl he had for no apparent reason, shared the stars with. He stayed out there, sitting on a bench placed outside for his convenience. There was a telescope there too, and he bent down to peer into the eyepiece to gaze into the night. The stars seemed to glow brighter that night.
The next day went much better than the first for Sora. She arrived early for class and the lunch was very much edible.
"Bye Mimi!" Sora waved as she ran out the door, immediately bumping into a strong figure. "Oof, sorry about tha-" Sora stopped when she saw it was Yamato who she had just ran into. "Oh, hey Yama."
"Hey Sora, in a hurry?"
"Just desperate to get out of class."
"Likewise." He walked towards the main doors and motioned for her to follow, "Come on, Sora, let's go wait for the guys."
Jamie was already there, seated with a book and reading with his one visible emerald eye. He greeted Yamato and Sora kindly before turning his attention back to his book. Jeff and Aki came next, and finally, Tai who had the most trouble pushing through the girls since he came later. The girls clustered more than the day before since it was the talk of the school that Sora started hanging out with them, so naturally there would be a rush to get to Yamato first.
Tai bent down to catch his breath. "Okay, okay! No one panic, I'm here!"
Sora walked over to the boy who had just forced his way through a barricade of wild hormone controlled girls, and bent down so she was at his level. "Really Tai, I'm surprised you're here, considering that you cut two of your classes yesterday. I was beginning to think you wouldn't show."
Tai stood up and gave Sora the best pout he could come up with. "Aw Sora, you know that if I knew you were in both of those classes that I would've never cut!"
"Dork."
Tai grinned and turned to the rest of the guys. "Alright guys, let's go."
As the group began to walk towards the large iron gates of the school, leaving the mob of girls behind to stare at Yamato's back, Sora questioned their destination. "To the pizza place?"
Yamato walked next to the redhead and turned to look at her, "That's right, no one told you yet huh, Sora?"
Looking at the handsome blonde with her ruby orbs, Sora became confused. "Huh?"
He smiled, "On Tuesdays and Thursdays the guys and I have band rehearsal."
"The guys?"
"Jamie, Aki, and Jeff."
"No Tai?"
"No Tai. He just watches."
"Thank god." Sora giggled, "He's my best friend and all… but let's be honest, the guy has absolutely no musical talent at all. The last time I heard him sing was a while ago, but I'm confident that he's the same."
Curious, Yamato asked, "What hap-"
Tai popped in from nowhere, "I heard that, Sora!"
Sora smiled slyly at Tai, "Last time he sang was at my place and the seventy year old grandmother with a hearing aid came downstairs to tell him to shut up."
"Hey, hey stop!" Tai yelled and ran after Sora as she raced down the street.
Yamato smiled and watched the two's retreating backs as they sped away.
The rehearsal was held in a large concert hall. The guys explained that since they would be performing the next week, rehearsals would be held the stage. Sora entered the colossal area and spun around gleefully. "This is so cool!"
Yamato grinned with pride; "We'll be on stage, why don't you go sit with Tai in the first row?"
Sora nodded excitedly, "Definitely! I'm psyched to finally be able to see you guys perform!"
Laughing at her childish bliss, Yamato absentmindedly took a lock of her wavy auburn hair and said without thinking, "You're cute."
The lead singer blushed immediately upon hearing the words and looked away from Sora, not wanting to meet her gaze. Sora was too energetic to let the words affect her much and ignored the comment all together. "I'll be waiting!" She yelled and ran to the front row.
Yamato let out the breath he held and walked onto the stage and picked up his guitar.
Sora found herself in the same seat of the same car at the same hour as the night before. Rehearsal ran late, but it was definitely worth it. Yamato drove with his eyes glued on the road and Sora let her eyes close.
The silence was broken by Yamato, "hey Sora, how'd you like it?"
Keeping her eyes closed, she answered, "It was great, Yama."
He smiled, "You're coming to the concert next week right?"
Sora grinned with her eyes shut, "only if I still get great seats."
"Well, only the best for Sora of course."
"Oh, really? Bribe me."
"Backstage."
"You're good."
"You're just falling for the Ishida charm."
"Flirt, let me sleep."
