Chapter 2
As Mimi and Tai walked along the sidewalk, they held each others hand. But something still bothered Tai. Mimi was leaving him. He wanted to avoid that. He wanted her to stay, for them to be together. He needed to be with Mimi, and Mimi needed to be with Tai. Tai felt a happiness that he had never felt in a while, just by holding her hand. The touch of her hand was incredibly smooth, soft and warm all at the same time.
"Mimi, how about after the soccer game, we go… on … a date… our first…date…" stuttered Tai, as he paused from walking to see what reaction Mimi would give him.
She looked at Tai, as her hazy eyes stared him down. She then placed one of her hands gently on his cheek. It was really warm and soft. She then smiled at him. "Sure, Tai, I would love to go later after the game!" replied Mimi, as she hugged the nervous and fretful boy.
As she let go of the hug, she kissed his cheek ever so softly. It was more then enough to make him blush. He smiled even though he knew he was blushing. Mimi, at the sight of seeing Tai blush, giggled. And by the small laugh, he knew she felt comfortable around him. He wanted her to be comfortable around him, not afraid. That was his main goal with her, to make her feel safe and comfortable. And the laugh reassured him that he was doing something right. Again, they held each others hand and began walking along the path that was on the same road as Mimi's house.
Tai looked down at his watch. They were ten minutes late. They were supposed to meet at the park to play soccer at three o'clock. It was ten after three! "Holy crap! Mimi, we're gotta start running! We're really late!" shouted Tai, as he peered back at her beautiful face.
"Ok, let's hurry up!" added Mimi, as she pointed out another path way through the woods.
Tai grinned slyly, as he began running with his hand still in tact with Mimi's. Tai then began laughing as he kept looking back to see Mimi's face. She was laughing too. Probably because it was the first time she had fun in a while. Her job as a model took up most of her time. So it was different and a change for her. Both laughs seem to increase as the almost made it to the opening. It was the field and park. Tai let go of her hand, as he quickly raced up to the opening. The sunlight became more visible when he came closer. The forests border line was practically visible now, as he darted past small alder trees.
Just as Tai had exited the forest into the opening, he turned around. He tried to see if Mimi had stopped, but to his mistake, she came running full force at him. She knocked him over, with her on top him. She braced her arms on the ground, which was the only thing that kept her from falling into his face. She stared into his hypnotic eyes, as did he. Their heart beats greatly increased, as they panted for air from the short distance run. They both stared into each others mind, as if they could read each other.
Mimi was still somewhat dumbfounded by what had just occurred. She just continued to look in his eyes, as she attempted to catch her breathe. It almost seemed like they were waiting for the other to make the first move. It was cut short as Daisuke came over and stared at them. "Um…can you guys save that for when no one else is around. It's time to play soccer, not make out!" joked Daisuke, as he laughed at his own joke.
Mimi and Tai blushed heavily, as they had never really noticed Daisuke watching them stare and get lost in the moment. Mimi quickly got up and brushed off her shirt from the dirt that had been emitted on it. Tai too quickly got up, and knocked off the twigs and leafs that had remained stuck on his clothing. After the incident Tai, Mimi and Daisuke walked over to where the rest were located. The teams were picked by Tai and Daisuke. On Tai's team there was Yomato, Sora, Mimi, Cody and Yolei. On Daisuke's there was Ken, Takeru, Hikari, Izzy, Jokido. The game was played long as everyone enjoyed themselves. Mimi had the occasionally funny remarks of getting dirty, as well with Jo. Tai usually got heavy headed when Daisuke would score, as would Daisuke with Tai. Even though Tai's team lost five to two, every one had admitted they had fun.
As Tai limped off the field feeling the pain of not being in shape, he walked over by an also sore Mimi. "So when do you wanna go out tonight?" asked Tai, as he looked into her face.
He saw the dirt from the field, smeared on her face, but she didn't care he noticed.
"When ever you can come and get me. It doesn't really matter to me. So I guess I'll see you later!" said Mimi as she hugged Tai, and briefly kissed him on the lips.
Tai got drunk off of the kiss, and once again blushed as he exchanged it back. Mimi didn't blush like him, but giggled. Finally they departed as they waved at each other. "Aww, that was cute, Tai!" added Hikari, as T.K. walked off too.
Tai started to walk, as Kari was rambling on about stuff they had to do in the Digital World. He didn't pay attention at all. He was too busy thinking about Mimi. The one he truly loved. He wondered where exactly he should take her. Then he remembered the place where his father took his mom for their anniversary. He then all of a sudden went from a walk, to a full pace run. "Hey ,Tai! What's wrong? What did I say?" asked Kari as she had to yell.
"I have to go and make reservations at a restaurant. I'll see you later, Kari. Tell mom I have plans tonight." explained Tai, as he ran off, leaving Kari in the distance.
After several hours of walking to the restaurant, he finally made reservations to it. They told him that he could pay at the time of the dinner. He left quickly and got home to call Mimi to tell her that they should leave now. Mimi agreed, as she offered to provide the drive happily. He quickly stashed a small box in his pocket as he grinned to himself, the kind of grin that meant he was up to something.
After about twenty minutes of waiting, she arrived at the Kamiya's apartment. Tai then quickly exited the small building, as he entered the car. "Wow, you sure look pretty!" complimented Tai as he was amazed at the beauty of her dress had on her.
It was the usual pink, but resembled much like a prom dress. Her hair was up too. Tai liked to see her hair up. It drove him wild. Her face was almost exactly what he would define an angel's face as. Perfect, in all ways.
Mimi blushed heavily when Tai had said the compliment. Mimi also looked at Tai. She thought that he was hot in a black tuxedo. "You look pretty hot too!" added Mimi as she looked all over Tai.
After a fifteen minute drive to the restaurant they arrived. They exited the vehicle, as it took off as the entered the door. Tai opened the door for Mimi, as she smiled and walked through it. As they walked up to the front desk, to be waited upon, he kissed her on the cheek, as he smiled. She giggled and looked back him. Tai was happy he found her. He know knew that she was going to be the one. Just then, a waiter came up to them, and asked for there invitation. Tai stated his full name, Taichi Kamiya, as the waiter told them to follow him.
They were led to a rather large part of the restaurant. It had probably the largest chandelier that Mimi had ever seen in her life. She had seen some of the most famous, but this had to be the biggest ever. Tai was just amazed at the upper class furnishing. He thought that it was remarkable. The waiter then finally showed them their seats, as Tai took out the chair for Mimi to sit on. She blushed at the fact that he was doing this all for her. No one, not even Matt had done this for her. Tai then ordered some exquisite meals that he knew Mimi had liked, as the waiter nodded his head and left.
"Tai, you are the only one that has ever done this much for me. I love you so much!" added Mimi, as she stared into his eyes.
"I love you too, Mimi. When we where in the Digital World, I was always very fond of you, it's just I was way too nervous to tell you that. So I always talked with Sora, because we both knew that it would never work between us. I love you Mimi… And I have another question for you… Will you marry me?" asked Tai, as he got up and sat on one knee, revealing a small ring box.
Mimi raised both hands up to her mouth, out of pure shock. She started to cry tears of joy. Tai hesitated for an answer, as he saw the tears roll down her face. Finally she removed her hands from her mouth, and opened the box and it revealed an engagement ring. She hugged Tai very tightly. "Yes Tai, I will marry you!" replied Mimi, as Tai stood up and hugged her.
Tai felt so much better when she said that. The hug seemed to last forever. After they broke the hug, Mimi, still crying, looked into his face and kissed him directly on the lips. Mimi knew that she was making the best move. "Taichi Kamiya, you are the one I want to grow old with and wake up to every single day! You are the sun and moon to me. I love you Tai!" added Mimi, as the both finally sat down to realize that the ordered meals had come.
After a perfect dinner at the restaurant, and a well spent date, Mimi finally thought of something. "Tai, this is going to sound weird, but who would you like to come with me to America?" asked Mimi, as she looked deeply into his eyes.
Tai looked down at his feet. He thought long and hard about this. He wanted to stay with his family as long as he could, but he also wanted to be with Mimi. The one he wanted to marry. He quickly looked back up, with an affirmative answer. "Yes Mimi, I will go with you. I don't want to spend a second with out you. I love you and always will. I will never ever let you down!" added Tai, as he kissed her cheek.
As Tai got a ride with Mimi's parents, Mimi explained what their plan was. At first, her parents were a little perturbed, but then Mimi revealed the engagement ring. They quickly changed there minds after that. Tai finally made it home and told his parents about what was going on. They understood, and agreed as Mimi's parents were there as well. Tai quickly gathered up a lot of his clothing, and necessities like deodorant and cologne, and packed them in bags. He then gathered all of his clothing, and filled up two duffle bags of clothing.
After a half hour of packing, he finally put his bags in the trunk of Mimi's parent's car, said his last good bye to Kari, his mom and dad and took off.
After a short drive, Tai arrived at the mansion. Tai brought in his suitcases and bags. Her parents told him that they were leaving in the morning. Mimi brought Tai to her bedroom, after he set his begs down by the door.
"So one last question, it's going to be me and you, forever and ever?" asked Mimi as she looked serious.
Without hesitation, Tai replied, "Yes Mimi, it is going to be you and me, forever. No one will break us up. The only way that could happen is if you let it happen. And I hope you won't. I love you Mimi, and no one else. You are the one I want to marry, no one else. I have longed to ask you out and marry you, and now we are three quarters there. I love you Mimi, and nothing will change!"
Mimi held onto Tai as they now sat on her bed, feeling safe that now they were getting married and that they could spend a whole lifetime together. Happily.
