Chapter 12- Tai's Confessions

Sora awoke the next morning to the sound of thundering clashing outside her window. Her eyes shot open and her heart was beating fast from the sudden disturbing noise. A flash of lightning filled the room as she noticed how extremely dark it was outside.

"No wonder it's still dark outside," Sora said to herself as she glanced at the clock, "It's only 5:30am."

Sora yawned and laid back down in her bed. She didn't have to be up for another three hours and she wasn't going to waste this perfectly good opportunity to get some extra needed sleep. There was then a knock at the door and her eyes opened again.

"Sora?" Tai called from the other side of the door.

"God..." Sora sighed to herself, "Come in!"

Tai opened the door and came into the room. Sora was resting on her elbows when she watched him come into the room and shut the door behind him.

"Scared?" Sora said with a laugh.

"Me? Scared? You've got to be joking! I'm just to... to... protect you! Yeah, that's right! I'm here to protect you from the storm."

A crash of thunder filled the air and Tai screamed like a girl. He jumped into the bed next to Sora and she gave him a strange look.

"Not a word," Tai said as he slouched down embarrassed.

"I love you, Tai. You're so adorable," Sora laughed as she snuggled up next to him and yawned, "Goodnight, Taichi."

"Goodnight, Sor."

8:20am

"SORA!" Tai shouted from the living room downstairs.

"WHAT!?" Sora shouted back as she put moose in her hair to keep in in a curly position.

"Do you know where my keys are?"

"Look on the table next to the door! If they're not there then they're probably on the table!"

"Oh, I-I found them! Thanks!"

"Anytime!"

Sora ran down the stairs and quickly grabbed a bite to eat. She was already going to be late for class.

"You ready?" Sora asked with a piece of toast in her mouth.

"Yep! Let's go!" Tai grabbed a hoodie and his keys and the two headed out the door to his car. They decided that taking two cars to the same place was totally pointless so they went together.

"Alright, I'll meet you by the main building around 11:30," Sora told Tai after they arrived at school.

"Okay, see you then," Tai waved and walked off to his class.

"Bye!"

(Sorry for skipping so many scenes)

12:30pm; back at home

"Are you hungry, Tai?" Sora asked as she made a turkey sandwich for herself.

"What're you making?" Tai wondered.

"Sandwiches. What kind do you want?"

"Whatever you're having is fine."

"Turkey then?"

"Yum."

"Alrighty."

Sora made the two sandwiches along with sour cream n' onion chips and two sodas. She went and sat down on the couch next to him and watched the soccer game that was on.

"So are you and the boyfriend doing anything today?" Tai asked striking up a conversation between the two.

"Well, I don't really know. His mom wanted to go shopping with me or something," Sora answered and put a chip into her mouth.

"Shopping with the mom? That sounds entertaining. Poor Matt, he'll be left carrying all the bags. You never did tell me what happened last night."

"Well, lets just say I learned a lot about Matt that I never thought I would..."

"What do you mean?"

"Just some stuff his parents told me that he didn't want me to know. Embarrassing stuff, you know?"

"Ha ha, poor guy."

The two got silent for a little while and then Tai popped out a question that Sora totally didn't expect to hear.

"Hey, Sora?" He started.

"Hmm?" Sora replied very into the game.

"On a scale of 1-10, what do you think my chances of getting with Mimi are?"

Sora snapped out of the game and focused her attention to him, "Tai... is there something you have been keeping from me?"

"Um... maybe..."

"Taichi Kamiya! You like Mimi and you never told me!? Hello, best friend here! That's why I'm here! You're supposed to tell me stuff like this!"

"But that's the thing! I'm not sure if I like her or not..."

"What do you mean you're not sure?"

"Well, I don't know it's hard to explain. Every time I see her I just want to hold her and be with her all the time. She's kind of a ditz, sure, but that's the reason I like her so much. She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her and not to mention she is so incredibly hot... I just don't know if she feels the same way."

"Tai, sweetie, she feels the exact same way, believe me I would know. She's just too scared to come out and say anything."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course! Would I lie to you?"

"Wow, I didn't think she felt the same way. Thanks, Sora. It is such a relief to finally have this off my shoulders."

"I'm always here for you, Tai. You know that."

"Yeah, I know. Do you think she'll say yes if I were to ask her out?"

"I'm pretty sure she would I don't know why she'd say no. She likes you a lot and she's been waiting for you to make the first move."

"Cool. I think I'll give her a call and tell her to come over right now!"

"You go do that."

Tai jumped up from the couch and ran into his room. Sora could hear him jump onto the bed and dial Mimi's number. She smiled at the thought of them actually getting together. She always believed they would make an incredibly cute couple: the jock and the cheerleader. She was then snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of her cell phone ringing.

"Hello?" She answered not recognizing the phone number.

"Sora, dear!" A familiar voice rang into the phone, "How are you?"

"Hey, I'm good, Mrs. Ishida, how are you?" Sora replied realizing who it was.

"Great, darling! I'm great! Are you off of school?"

"Yes, ma'am. I just got done eating lunch with Tai."

"Tai? Who is, Tai?"

"Oh, I'm sorry you haven't met him yet. Tai is my best friend that I live with."

"Oh, I see. So, dear, are you still up for that shopping spree?"

"Oh, yes, of course! You know me, I love to shop!"

"As do I! I am going to bring Yamato along too because he's dying to see you."

"Awe, really?"

"Yes. He won't stop talking about you so I guess getting him to be with you is the only way to shut him up!"

Mrs. Ishida and Sora both laughed at the comment.

"So what time do you want me to meet you?" Sora asked.

"Well, Yamato is driving me right now and I'm guessing he's going in the direction of your house so I guess we should be there sometime soon."

"Oh, alright. Well I better go get ready!"

"You go do that, my dear. We'll see you soon!"

"Bye."

"Goodbye, dear."

Sora hung up the cell phone and ran into Tai's room. He was obviously in deep conversation with Mimi because he didn't really pay attention to what she was saying.

"Tai, Matt's on his way to get me so I'll probably be gone for a while," Sora said as Tai motioned to her with his hand to go away, "Well, call me if you need anything." Sora rolled her eyes and walked out of the room. She ran up the stairs and quickly changed out of her sweat pants and t-shirt into a short jean skirt and white tube top shirt. The outfit was completed with a heart necklace and a pair of white flip flops that had tiny diamonds on them. She brushed her teeth to get rid of the smell of onion and then walked back downstairs. She sat on the couch and watched the end of the game until the Ishida's arrived.

25 minutes later

Tai had gotten off the phone with Mimi and from the looks of things everything had gone well between them. She was going to come over later after she went to visit her mom and Sora didn't even want to think of the things that were going to happen while she was gone. There was then a knock at the door.

"I got it!" Tai shouted jumping up from the couch and running to the door.

"No, I got it! It's not Mimi, it's Matt!" Sora said and ran after him.

Sora grabbed Tai's shirt and caused him to fall to the ground with a large thud. Sora freaked out thinking that she hurt him and quickly ran to his side.

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay, I'm so sorry!" Sora said kneeling next to him.

"Yeah, I'm fine..." Tai jumped up, "And I got the door!"

"Hey, no fair!"

Tai answered the door and much to his surprise he saw Matt standing in the doorway. He rolled his eyes and sighed.

"It's for you, Sor," he said and went to sit back down on the couch.

"I told you it was, dummy," Sora said with a laugh and answered the door, "Hey, baby!" Sora said as she wrapped her arms around Matt's neck and embraced him into a hug.

"Hey!" He said and returned the hug, "What's with grouchy boy over there?"

"Nothing, he just thought you were Mimi. They're dating now," Sora whispered to him.

"Oh... I see. So are you ready to go?"

"Of course!"

"Well, come on then! My mom's in the car waiting and she's going crazy because she wants to get to the mall."

"I guess we shouldn't keep her waiting then, huh?"

"Nope."

"Bye, Tai! Say "hi" to Meems for me!"

"Bye, Sor! Have fun and stay out of trouble."

"I will. Oh, and Tai... Use a condom!"

"Whatever just leave already."

"Bye!"

Sora giggled and grabbed Matt's hand. The two headed out the door and made their way to Matt's Ferrari. Sora saw Mrs. Ishida sitting in the front seat so she crawled into the back.

"You ready for the shopping experience of your life?"

"You bet!"

"Matt, crank up the engine and lets get this show on the road!"
