Chapter Twelve : Jumping To Conclusions
Yamato's cellphone rang.
"Moshi, this is Yamato," Yamato answered.
"Matt," Taichi spoke. "Let's talk in the coffee shop near Tokyo Tower."
"Why?" Yamato asked curiously.
"Whatever, let's just meet," he said and hung up.
Mimi put on a clip and flipped her hair.
Another school day to face.
"Yamato-kun, who was that?" Mimi asked, checking her reflection in the mirror.
"It's Tai, he wants us to meet in some place," Yamato said.
Mimi looked at him.
"Early in the morning?" she asked.
"Maybe it's urgent," Yamato said, stretching both his arms.
Mimi applied some blush on her cheeks.
Yamato picked his guitar up and strummed a few tunes.
"How're your songs going?" Mimi asked, leaning to the mirror closely.
"One last song to go," he said, putting his guitar down.
Yamato watched Mimi apply make-up on her face.
Yamato cringed and shook his head.
Mimi seemed to notice his reaction and frowned at him.
"Why are you cringing?" she asked.
"Girls, girls, girls," Yamato said. "Guys like simple girls."
Mimi rolled her eyes.
"I don't demand that you like me back," she said. "And besides, who would like a guy like you?"
Yamato burst out in laughter.
"You!" Yamato said.
Mimi blushed furiously.
"I was drunk!" Mimi defended.
"But you admitted it yesterday, Princess," Yamato mocked.
Mimi grabbed the throw pillow nearest to her and threw it to him.
Yamato caught the pillow. "You're such a good kisser!"
Mimi grabbed another throw pillow and threw it to him.
"I'm leaving!" Mimi stormed off.
Yamato ran after the door.
He blocked the doorway.
Mimi glared at him and tried to walk past him.
"Get out of my way, you little fox," she said.
Yamato kissed her cheek and went out of her way.
"Take care!" he said.
Mimi's eyes narrowed and her teeth gritted.
"Be thankful I liked you," Mimi said and exited the door.
Yamato searched for Tai inside the coffee shop.
Tai raised his hand to catch Matt's attention.
Matt grinned at him and sat in front of him.
"Hey," he greeted. "What seems to be the problem?"
The waiter came.
"Anything sir?" he asked.
"Iced Coffee," Yamato said.
"Coffee with cream, no sugar, please," Tai ordered.
As soon as the waiter went away, Taichi pursed his lips.
"Do you already know about Sora?" Tai asked.
"That she's here in Japan?" Yamato asked.
Taichi seemed to be surprised.
"You knew?" he asked.
"Uh-huh," Yamato said casually.
"Aren't you…threatened?" Taichi asked.
Yamato laughed.
"Threatened? She can't put an end in our marriage," Yamato said.
Then Taichi came to realize something about Yamato's mood.
"So…you're taking the marriage seriously, huh?" Tai said.
"Actually," Yamato sighed. "I think I'm falling for Mimi."
It was now Tai's turn to laugh.
"For real?" he asked.
Yamato nodded.
"In fact, something has happened already," Yamato informed Tai.
Tai leaned closer.
"So what do you think of it?" he asked in a low voice.
Yamato smirked.
"I don't kiss and tell, Tai," he told him.
Tai frowned.
"I thought we're best friends," Tai said.
Yamato laughed.
"It was relieving…at least, we're not just best friends anymore," Yamato said.
Taichi leaned back on his chair.
"Your ex-girlfriend wants to dine with me tonight," Tai said.
"Really?" Yamato asked.
"I think she would ask me about things…things about your marriage," Tai said.
Yamato smirked and rolled his eyes.
"Then tell her," he said.
Taichi shook his head.
"You're confident about it?" he asked.
Yamato raised his brow.
"What's there to be scared for?" Yamato asked.
"SHUT UP!" Miyako exclaimed in disbelief.
Mimi kicked Miyako's leg below the table.
"Will you lower your voice?" Mimi warned.
Miyako put both her hands over her mouth.
"This is a secret, okay?" Mimi asked.
Suddenly, the university's head teacher was approaching them.
"Ms. Tachikawa, the principal wants to have a word with you," she said.
Mimi looked at Miyako questioningly.
"Alright, Miyako wait for me, okay?" Mimi told her.
"Sure thing," she said.
Mimi walked inside the principal's office silently.
"Good day," the principal greeted.
Mimi sat in front of him.
"Your parents have informed me about this thing," he said. "Well, I suppose you could admit the fact right in front of me that you're not single anymore."
Mimi gulped hard.
"Y-yes, sir," she admitted.
"You're in legal age," he said. "And we all know that set-up marriages aren't new in the Japanese culture."
Mimi listened silently.
"I just don't want this news to spread all over the university or even out the university," the principal favored.
"Yes, sir," Mimi agreed.
The principal leaned back on his seat.
"Study hard," he told her. "You're dismissed."
Mimi got up from her seat, bowed and got out.
Sora wore a green tubedress as she waited in the table for Taichi.
Taichi appeared at the restaurant's door.
Sora grinned at him.
Taichi bowed his head slightly and approached her.
"Hi," he greeted.
Yamato opened the condominium's door.
He found Mimi eating carrot sticks.
"Have you turned into a rabbit or something?" he asked as he placed a brown envelope over the center table.
Mimi offered the bowl of carrot sticks to him.
"You want?" he asked.
Yamato stuck his tongue out in disgust.
"I don't like vegetables," he said.
Mimi withdrew the bowl and placed it back on the table.
Yamato took off his shirt and slumped back at the sofa.
Mimi rolled his eyes and looked away.
"Put on something," she told him.
Yamato looked at Mimi.
"As if you haven't seen me shirtless before," Yamato mocked as he reached for the remote.
Mimi turned to him.
"I don't remember anything…I was drunk remember?" Mimi said.
"It still happened," Yamato teased, turning the TV on.
Mimi took a bite of her carrot stick.
Yamato then looked at her again.
"Was it your first time?" he asked playfully.
Mimi threw him a carrot stick.
Yamato caught the carrot stick.
"Yuck," he said but he still ate it.
Mimi shook her head.
"Answer my question," Yamato said.
Mimi stood up and put the empty bowl into the sink.
She walked past him.
Before she could open her bedroom door, Yamato called her name.
"What?" she asked impatiently.
"Answer my question," he said. "If you don't then I'll believe that you're a virgin."
Mimi put her hands on her hips.
"Yes it was, so?" Mimi answered.
Yamato smirked and laughed.
Mimi glared at him for a second then her face lit up.
"Well, I believe any girl who sleeps with you suffered with your loud snores and constant drooling when you sleep," she mocked.
Yamato's eyes narrowed.
"What!" he asked in outrage.
"The first time we slept in the same bed (when the guest room wasn't done), I was pissed with your snores," Mimi said casually. "And the last time, when that something happened, I found you drooling."
Yamato was blushing slightly and threw her a pillow.
Mimi evaded the pillow.
She stuck her tongue out to him.
"Who's blushing now?" she teased and got inside her bedroom.
Taichi and Sora ate in silence.
"Taichi," Sora said. "How long have you known Matt?"
Taichi looked up from his food.
"Since we're eight," he replied.
"Oh," she said. "How…was his marriage with Miss Mimi?"
I knew it.
"Uh…Yamato's really happy with Meems," Taichi said casually.
"He is?" Sora asked.
Taichi drank some water.
"Yeah," he replied.
That response from Taichi left her silent.
She doesn't' need to ask some more questions.
It was enough to answer her questions.
"Well…how…about you?" she asked, trying to cover herself up. "Are you dating somebody?"
Taichi grinned at her.
"Well, no…I'm busy taking up some business lessons from my dad," Taichi informed.
Sora grinned back.
"Oh really? What business?" she asked, feeling some urge of interest talking with Tai.
"Sport gears," he replied.
"Wow, really?" Sora said. "My parents are managing a fashion store."
"That explains your great sense regarding fashion," Tai praised.
Sora stared down at the food.
"So…I heard from TK that Yamato's writing songs," she said.
"Yeah," Taichi said.
Then Sora felt sad.
"I guess he's getting inspiration from his wife," she said.
"Oh yeah, Yamato's basing his songs about what he feels about Mimi," Taichi said.
Sora sighed.
"I wish he does well in his career," Sora said.
Taichi noticed her somber look.
"Don't frown," Tai said. "A beautiful face like that doesn't look good with a frown."
Sora grinned.
A week after Sora and Tai's dinner, they seem to hang out more often.
Kyoushiro was sensing something fishy about it but tends to keep quiet about his thought.
As Mimi was cooking breakfast the next day, Yamato walked to the ref to get some banana.
"Yamato-kun," Mimi called.
"Uh-huh?" Yamato asked as he peeled the banana.
"Can you cook?" she asked.
"Depends," he said. "Why?"
"Will you continue this?" she asked.
"Hotdogs? Sure," he said and walked over.
Mimi untied her apron and walked to the sofa.
She curled up in the sofa.
"Are you feeling okay?" he asked.
"I feel sick," she said.
"Go to your room," he said. "I'll check up on you after I cook."
"Okay," she said and got in her room.
Mimi's cellphone rang.
"Answer it for me," Mimi said and closed her bedroom door.
Yamato answered the call.
"Moshi? Mimi can't answer the phone right now, this is Yamato."
"Tell her I called," and then the caller hung up.
Yamato checked the call register and found out Michael just called Mimi.
