Making out and spacing out
Matt had just led Kitty into his apartment while he went inside his room to change; well actually, to put some clothes on, period! She sat on the large couch and waited.
"Man, what am I going to wear?" Matt frantically scattered through piles of clothes and trash in the ship wreck he calls his room
"Yes!" he settled on a black long-sleeve turtle neck and dark gray pants.
He quickly changed and took one last look in the mirror before he left.
"This is it."
Kitty had made herself comfortable and had sprawled herself across the couch like a cat would. She stretched her legs out and pawed at the cushions.
"Prrr."
"Sora?"
Kitty snapped back to reality once she heard her "name." Matt curiously walked over and sat next to her. The clock kept ticking away as they sat in silence.
"So..."
"Yes?" she leaned back on the couch and put her arm around Matt
She looked intensively into his eyes and then began to stretch. "I'm so tired!"
Teenage hormones got the better of Matt. He watched her with hungry eyes and she knew he wanted her. They shared a quick glance before they lunged at each other like hungry animals. They tossed and turned on the large sofa while inducing in a heavy make out session; it was a shame to break the kiss.
"May I?" Kitty pointed down the hall towards the bathroom
Matt nodded "Sure."
He watched her leave and once she was out of sight and hearing range, he jumped up and ran to the phone.
Tai's apartment...
"So, if x squared equals 25, then pi times x squared equals?" Sora sat on the floor; attempting to teach Tai some Algebra.
"Uh...100?"
"Tai, were you even listening to me before?"
"Of course I was!"
"Really, then what's pi?"
"A type of dessert?"
Sora slapped her forehead in frustration.
"Tai.." she began
"How do you expect me to teach you if you won't listen to me? If you're not even going to try and learn then why did you ask me to help you?"
"Uh...because I want to spend time with you, alone." Tai turned away and mumbled
Sora's glaring eyes softened upon hearing this. She sighed and sat closer to him.
"Did you really just ask me to hel- ahh!" Miko jumped on her lap; causing her to yelp in the middle of her sentence
"Bad cat!" Tai shooed Miko away
Sora giggled but Tai watched her with sad eyes.
"Sora I..." he began to say but couldn't seem to get the right words out of his mouth.
"I- RING!" he was interrupted by the phone
"Wait one second." he got up and ran to the phone
"Hello?"
"Tai!"
"Matt?"
"Yeah! Guess what I just did!"
"Uh...did you finally cut your hair?"
"No, never! And if anyone needs a haircut its you!"
"Whatever. So what happened? I'm kind of busy you know." Tai's replied; annoyance in his tone
"Is it important?" Matt apologetically asked
"Yeah, sort of." Tai turned his head and looked over at Sora who munched on some of the snacks they had bought for themselves before they began to study
"Sorry man, but this can't wait! I, Matt Ishida just made out with Sora Takenouchi!"
"WHAT?" Tai shouted into the receiver while Matt pulled away in annoyance on the other end of the line
"But Sora is right he-" Matt cursed and stopped Tai from finishing his sentence
"Crap!"
"Uh, I have to go." Matt lowered his voice as he heard the bathroom door open
"Bye!"
"Uh...bye." Tai bid farewell though Matt had already hung up
Still in disbelief, Tai absentmindedly put the phone down and walked back to the living room. Sora smiled upon his return but frowned at his blank expression.
"What happened?" she asked as Tai flopped himself on the sofa
"Tai, what's wrong?" Tai could hear Sora talking but he didn't know what she was saying. He just fixed his eyes on the wall; gaping at the unknown.
"Tai!" she shook his shoulder
"Matt called."
"And?"
"He said that you-"
RING!
"Hold on a second." Sora answered her cell phone
"Hello?...Hi mom...Yes I'm fine, I'm over at Tai's-no mom, we're just doing homework...Mom! We really are doing homework!...Whatever...What? Now?...Ok, I'll be right over...yeah I love you too, bye."
Sora put her phone away and turned to Tai who had completely spaced out.
"My mom wants me to help her at the flower shop."
Tai nodded, though he had not paid attention to a word Sora said.
"I'll talk to you later!" She shouted while she put her shoes on and walked out the door.
Matt's apartment...
Matt and Kitty had moved from the couch to the floor where they could move freely while making out without the fear of falling.
RING! Kitty's phone rang.
Matt hesitated to release her from the kiss; but the annoying ringer of her phone irritated him. She got off Matt and sat down on the couch; she didn't want Matt to see Ken's name on her screen.
"Hello?...Yes, sir...no I haven't...Now?...Ok, I'll be right over." she hung up and sadly looked down at Matt
"I have to go."
"Huh? Why?" he pouted
She couldn't think of an excuse and only stared at him. He got up, straightened his ruffled shirt and sat down next to her.
"Who was that?"
"Uh...my mom."
"Does she want you to help her at the flower shop?"
"Uh...yeah!"
"Well, ok." Matt leaned back and Kitty sighed in relief
She got up and walked down the hall; heading to the door. Matt's hand caught hers and caused her to stop.
"Talk to you later?" he had hope in his eyes
"Of course." she smiled and walked out
Matt leaned against the wall and smirked.
Tai's apartment...
It had not been no longer than 15 minutes since Sora had left to her mother's flower shop. Tai still sat dumbfounded on his couch until a screech from Miko broke his trance.
Meeoowww! Hiss!
"Huh?" Tai saw that Miko was on the window sill, hissing at a bird.
"Sora?" he stood up and examined the room. He noticed that her shoes were gone and concluded that she must have left.
"It can't be." he bitterly remembered the words that Matt had spoken
He quickly put on his shoes and ran out the door; heading to the flower shop.
Matt's apartment...
RING!
Matt lay on his bed when he heard the ringing of a phone.
RING!
'That can't be the phone.' he thought as he walked over to the phone that sat on a small table in the hall.
RING!
'It's not my cell phone.' he took his cell out of his pocket and saw that it was not ringing.
RING!
He checked under his bed but only found dirty clothes and dirty trays from food he had ordered days before. He checked his closet but was buried in a mountain of clothes that piled on him once he opened the door.
"Where is it coming from!" he whined
RING!
The ringing caught his attention and it seemed to be coming from the living room. He slowly walked down the hall until he reached the large room.
RING! He walked over to the source of his frustration
'Sora must have forgotten her phone.' he picked it up
"Ken Ichijouji?" he read the name on the screen
The phone stopped ringing while Matt stood in confusion.
"Don't jump to conclusions. Just go ask her about it." Matt told himself as he put on his shoes and jacket and headed out the door; his destination, the flower shop.
TBC...
