Chapter 02: Yutori
Engaged. That was floating in her mind right now. A complete normal yesterday now became a dark nightmare.
"So, where do you two live now?" TK asked sarcastically. "They live in a penthouse!" Yamato's mom said. Their eyes widened. "Isn't this kinda wrong Ms. Ishida? I mean, I just finished college, and I still haven't found a decent job, can't we just break off that sick tradition and to tell you the truth, nothing happened, swear!" she said nervously.
His mom blinked a few times. "Sorry dear. Even if you're most innocent person I know, I might as well think that you're also lying." Natsuko said.
"Damn it! I'm 23 years old, graduated in a university with great opportunities, has a degree, but ended up jobless, and the worst is, I'm getting engaged!" she hollered.
Yamato however remained cool and silent. Isn't he supposed to go ballistic as Mimi?
Or he didn't mind being Mimi's husband?
"Take me home." She said to him coldly. He nodded and led her to his car. "Yamato! Here's the address for your (Yamato and Mimi) penthouse!" Natsuko said, giving a piece of paper to him.
"So…uh…when are we suppose to live there?" he asked nervously. "Now." His mom answered. Mimi shrieked and went inside the front passenger seat as she slammed the car door.
He sighed.
"Bye." He bid and went inside the car and sat on the driver's seat.
He looked at Mimi who was looking annoyed.
"Cheer up, it's not like it's the end of the world." He said. She stared at him gloomily.
"That's what you can say. I mean, you have a nice job, while I…I'm graduated (Yamato joins in), has a degee, but ended up as a candy girl." They said as the same time.
"Jeez. You don't have to nag. So what if you're candy girl? You look really pretty in your uniform anyway." He said mischieviously.
She glared at him. "Yeah right, I'd rather be ugly than have a job for nothing." She said.
He made a vomitting look. "Yuck. I'd rather be jobless than ugly." He said.
"Yeah, whatever. Just step on it now, and I'll pack my stuff." She commanded. He started the engine and they were on their road.
Tachikawa Residence
"I can't believe you engaged me!" she shouted.
"Well, you did sleep with him." Her mom said.
"Iie! But we didn't do anything! This is a lifetime nightmare!" she screamed.
"But sweetie-" Mimi cut his dad off.
"STOP! Don't you know I still haven't got a decent job? I'm still candy girl." She said.
"Dear, you better pack now." Her mom said. "We'll leave." She said as she exited the house and slammed the door.
She went inside the car again, so as he.
He looked at her again, she was really pissed off. "Tell me where's the apartment." He said as he started the engine and hit the road back.
She pointed out the streets.
They stopped in an apartment and he parked his car.
Both of them entered and met the owner. "Tachikawa! You haven't paid for the rent about a month now! Pay or I'll kick you out!" a lady in her 40s said. Mimi sweatdropped. "Sorry, Taide, but unfortunately, I'm not going to live here anymore." She said doubtfully.
"Why not!" Taide asked angrily. "She's engaged." Yamato interrupted, Taede looked at the man beside her. "Y-You're…YAMATO ISHIDA!" Taede screamed and jumped up and down, but somehow she stopped and looked at Mimi.
"You're engaged to whom?" Taede asked sternly, Mimi was about to answer, Yamato interrupted again. "Me."
Taede's eyes grew. "You've got to be kidding Tachikawa! How can you be engaged to someone like him!" Taede just undersetimated her.
"I proposed." Yamato lied. Mimi gave him a 'what-are-you-talking-about?' look, but he ignored. He then gave her a 'just-ride-with-it!' look.
"Really! So this means, you're not a Tachikawa anymore?" Taede asked. Mimi nodded slowly, somehow between ponder.
"Anyway, I'll get my stuff." Mimi said as she went to her door, followed by Yamato.
"Well…" he tried to break up the silence.
"We should start now." She said as she went to her room and started packing her clothes and some of her files in college.
Yamato looked around and approached to the cupboard, photo frames standing in a row.
The one thing made him feel better is she kept their memories. Digi-memories, exactly.
"Yamato, just pack the important stuff, the TV's not mine, the bed's not also mine, only the pillows and bedsheet, the candles and the photo albums." She said.
He looked at her packing her things. Her body was bent down, her eyes focused on the luggage, and her soft, long, brown hair dancing on a bottomless floor.
He kept his eyes on her. So innocent.
"Yamato, I need a hand here." She said sarcastically. He smiled. Yet so childish.
He was in pleasure to help her.
After five hours, they've finished. Mimi paid her bills and the post-rent.
He put her things at the back of his car, and the others on the backseat.
He drove all the way to the addressed penthouse. It was white with sliding windows and doors.
Once
they entered, Mimi broke into tears.
"What now?" he asked.
"I'm a a graduated student, and I am a jobless person!" she
whined.
Yamato smirked.
"It's not funny!" she said to him.
"I'm going to change." She said haughtily as she searched for the bathroom. Yamato unpacked his things. There were three rooms; two bedrooms and a lounge, two bathrooms, kitchen, a pantry, living room and a backyard. After he finished packing…
"Where could Mimi be?' he asked himself. He wanted to change his clothes, so he preferred the one closer to his distance.
Once he opened the door, "Ahh! Pervert!" Mimi yelled, covering herself with her towel. Yamato was flushed and closed the door quickly. He thought about for a while, she was only wearing a skirt and her bra. He grinned. Wow.
He smiled inwardly and went to the other bathroom.
When noon fell…
"See you later." She said to him, with her backpack. He arched a brow. He was only watching TV.
"Where are you going?" he asked. She sighed. "Do things for living." She said.
"But you're not living alone now! You're engaged. To me!" he said.
She was quite flattered.
"Whatever." She said as she went for the door.
"Oh, and Mimi, don't forget, change your last name." He said. She put her tongue out sarcastically. "Don't worry, I will." She told him and left.
He was all alone now. Bored.
For a thought, he had an idea. He followed her.
He smiled wickedly.
Sugars Of Heaven-
"You're what!" Sora shrieked. "Sora, it's not a big deal." Mimi said, baking shortcake.
"It's a big deal for all of his fans! He's Yamato Ishida." Sora said. Mimi sighed.
"Do you feel happy about it?" Sora asked. Mimi paused on putting whip cream.
"Halfa." She answered and continued again.
The door opened. "Hello my dear wife!" Yamato greeted as he pecked her cheek. She was stunned. "You followed me!" she shrieked.
"Hello Sora." He greeted.
"Oh yeah, you're not a Tachikawa anymore, MIMI!" Sora laughed.
"Ha ha." Mimi laughed sarcastically. Yamato went inside the manager's office.
"Hello, just to tell you, Mimi's not a Tachikawa anymore." Yamato said cheerfully.
"Why not!" Ms. Karusho asked persistently.
"She's engaged." He answered. "To whom?"
"Me, so change her Tachikawa to Ishida." He said and left the office. Ms. Karusho came stomping her feet.
"Mimi!" Ms. Karusho yelled. "Yes Ma'am!" she asked.
"Is it true that you're engaged to Yamato Ishida!" she asked angrily. Mimi glared at Yamato.
She turned back to Ms. Karusho. "Yes Ma'am." She answered as she bowed her head.
"you stole my future boyfriend! That's the case of stealing! Get out of this shop now! Sugars Of Heaven doesn't need you!" Ms. Karusho yelled angrily, Mimi's eyes widened.
"Y-you're firing me?" she asked nervously.
"Good thing you know, sherlock!" Ms. Karusho blew. Her eyes watered.
"Wait, can't we settle this?" Yamato tried to please Ms. Karusho, but there's nothing. "It's unfair for Mimi." He said.
"So? It's also unfair for me too!" she snapped back.
"It's not her fault being like this, please, bring her job back." He pleaded.
"It's okay Yamato." She said, taking off the uniform, she was now wearing a tank top and a skirt. She took her CandyGirl pin off and so as her ID.
"Mimi," he said.
"Let's just go. Thank you for everything, Ms. Karusho." She said as she bowed and left.
"See you Sora." Mimi said, and left. Yamato followed with her backpack.
"Mimi, Mimi!" he called. She was walking rapidly. "Mimi!" he called again. She stopped on the other sidewalk. He followed her, making sure she's okay.
"Let's go." She said coldly. "Mimi, are you alright?" he asked. She sighed. "Yes, I am. Thank you." She said quietly. Then for about five seconds she broke into tears. "No. I am not." She whispered as she tugged at his shirt and leaned on him.
He put his arms around her waist. "I'm broke. I'm a graduated in a well university, but I ended up as a CandyGirl, but got fired, and I'm engaged." She whispered, only he could hear it clearly.
"Let's say we go out today?" he offered. She pulled away and looked at him.
"Ahhh!
It's Yamato!" three screaming fan girls of his, yelled. Yamato
was interrupted and looked at them. As soon as they stayed longer,
more girls crowded him. "Run!" he said, pulling Mimi with him.
"Wow Yamato! You're really popular!" Mimi said, wiping
her left tears and smiled. He smiled back.
But as soon as his
fans saw he was with his girl (Mimi), they stopped chasing him and
gossiped.
"Is she Yamato's girlfriend?" a fan whispered to another.
They looked back again, and spotted his hand linked to hers.
"Yamato, we lost them." She said. "Yeah, I know. So, where do you want to go?" he asked her. "Any." She answered him.
Smoothie Florence-
"I'm a graduated students from a university with great oppurtunity, have a degree, but ended up as a CandyGirl, but got fired because I was engaged." She said over and over again.
"You shouldn't be putting that deep in your heart." He said.
"Easy for you to say because you have a great, awesome job!" she snapped back.
He stared at her coldly. Inverse the other Yamato. "It's my fault, isn't it?" he asked her stiffly. She looked at him.
"I should've took you home." He said. She felt sorry for him. She shook her head.
"No... It's not your fault. Thank you for cheering me up." She said as she sipped in her smoothie.
"So,
what's your next plan?" he asked. She looked at the ceiling.
"Find another DECENT job." She said.
"Don't push it too hard. I know you're a great person, so don't worry." He said.
Yamato's mobile rang.
"Wait a sec." He told her and picked up his phone.
"Hello?" Yamato said.
"Yamato, it's me, Tsuharo, please come tomorrow afternoon at two, here in the studio, you've been chosen as the cover guy in "Teen" Magazine." Tsuharo said.
"Sure." He said.
"Where are you anyway?" Tsuharo asked.
"I'm here at the smoothie house with my-" Yamato noticed Mimi not to tell, 'wife', instead, 'girlfriend.'
"I'm here with my girlfriend." Yamato said, looking at Mimi, who put her thumbs up.
"You have a girlfriend! This isn't one of
your jokes, right?" Tsuharo asked unbelievingly.
"Of course
not!" Yamato snapped back, which made Mimi jerk a little.
"Well, if you DO HAVE a girlfriend, bring her with you, if you don't, it means you're lying, and I'll put that on the article of the magazine!" Tsuharo said and ended the call.
Yamato looked at his mobile frustratingly. "Fuck
it!" he cursed. Mimi blinked a few times and looked at him
surprisingly.
He looked at her. "Sorry." He said.
"What's your problem?" she asked.
"I'll tell you later." He said.
