"C'mon!",she called to me as she hopped over a low wall and into the street.
I followed close behind her as we crossed the street and crept up on Yomi's house.We ascended the short wall surrounding the house and entered the backyard.It felt like we were infiltrating a locked down compound that contianed some ancient secret.Not like I haven't done that before.
Tomo ran to the lighted window before us and banged heavily upon it.
"Dammit,Tomo.",came the reply from inside as the glass was raised.
"Yea,damn it.",Tomo laughed as she stepped inside.I quickly followed so as not to be left out.
"Oh,hello there Prior.",Yomi said politely to me.
"Yo.",I greeted.
"So,Yomi,what's up?",Tomo asked,settling herself on the edge of Yomi's bed.
"TRYING to finish my homework.It's kinda hard when SOMEONE decides to show up unannounced.",Yomi said in an irritated voice.
"Wow.This person sounds like they suck.",Tomo said with a giggle.
Yomi just let out a huff.
"Let me just finish up here.It'll only take a second.",Yomi said and sat down at her desk to finish her work.
Tomo kicked her feet against the edge of Yomi's bed."I'm bored.",she whined.
"You'll be bored with a bump on your head in a minute if you don't let me finish",Yomi said without even looking up from the paper.
Tomo grimaced and kicked her feet some more.
"There!",Yomi said and stood to face us,"All done"
"Took ya long enough.",Tomo said with a friendly grin.
"Why are you still here then?",Yomi said and sighed.
"I dunno.I gotta use the bathroom though so I'll be right back.",Tomo said even this with her usual enthusiasm and left the room to me and Yomi.
"She loves you too.",I told Yomi quickly as soon as Tomo was out of earshot.
Yomi turned a bright crimson and her jaw practically fell off.
"You can't be serious...",Yomi said incredulously.
"I am quite serious.",I responded.
Yomi simply smiled and sat on the bed,sighing happily.
"I'm back!",yelled Tomo as she barreled into the room,jumping on the bed and making Yomi bounce slightly.
"Miss me?",Tomo said grinning into Yomi's face.Yomi blushed heavily at the closeness of her friend's face.I felt the tension mounting,I had to leave them alone.There was only one thing I could do.
"OH,SHIT!",I yelled,"MY BONES ARE ON FIRE!".I bolted out the still open window,darted across the lawn and up over the wall.I didn't even stop to look behind me.Although,I could be sure neither of them left the house to look.
I managed to find my way back to Tomo's house and entered through the rear door.I found myself some blankets and arrainged them in a comfortable format on the couch.I didn't sleep though.I lay there thinking about what I had done.There were a few things my outburst could have caused.The cops could be looking for me.I could have worried the two girls into a stupor.The best result in my mind was Tomo and Yomi sharing a 'private moment'.No,I'm not a pervert!Stop thinking that you sick freak.
I managed to drift off into a light sleep after a few minutes.I was awakened by the sound of the rear door closing.I sat up groggily to see Tomo entering the room and proceeding to sit on the couch near my feet.
"Thank you.",was the only thing she said to me before getting up and walking to her room.
I smiled inwardly.Call me Prior,Matchmaker Extrordianaire
