Chapter 7: Breakfast
Again at 10 o'clock in the morning, Sora's alarm clock went off. Groggily she got up from the bed and began getting dressed. Wait, where are my panties!? Sora thought to herself, almost forgetting about last night. She breathed a sigh of relief when she remembered and found them under Tai's foot. He was still fast asleep, refusing to respond to the alarm clock. Sora took her dirty clothes and shoved them into a hamper, then hopped in the shower. Shortly after hearing the shower turn on, Tai finally stirred. He yawned and woke up with a huge smile on his face. This is gonna be such a good year! Well as long as this keeps up... Tai said to himself. He got up and decided to skip the shower and take one later that night. He started getting dressed as Sora got out of the shower. She looked over at him and smiled and he smiled right back, also admiring her bare body and how nice she smelled.
"Morning sunshine, seems your hair is about as happy as you look!" Sora said and giggled. Tai looked up at his hair and he noticed it was more of an afro after he slept on it than a fluffy cloud. He grew quite red and embarrassed.
"Oh shit I gotta brush this mess!" Tai said and ran into the bathroom to comb his hair. It took him about ten minutes to comb his hair but he managed to flatten it out a bit. He then used his special hair products to bring his hair back to its signature style. He walked out of the bathroom to find Sora fully dressed in her "Sam" getup.
"Shall we grab some breakfast and head to class? I don't have classes until twelve today and you don't have classes until two so we can spend some time." Sora said happily. Tai nodded and they grabbed their things and headed to a small diner. It was a simple little spot, something you'd imagine from an old movie. Tai and Sora walked in and were seated at a table. Shortly the waitress appeared.
"Hello kids, how may I help you?" She said, rather excitedly. Tai noticed the many odd features about the waitress. She had red spiky hair, a decent figure, but she was very hyper and loud for someone working in the morning.
"Wait a minute... You're Davis's sister!" Tai exclaimed, a little nervous. The waitress lit up and laughed loudly.
"Yup that's me! The name's Jun if you forgot. And you're Tai if I remember correctly! Oooooh how is Matt and where is he and does he have a girl-" Jun said quickly but Tai cut her off.
"Oh boy Jun slow down! Well Matt's fine but... Uh... I don't know where he is or how he is sorry!" Tai said, lying through his teeth. June looked disappointed at first, but then grew suspicious.
"Mmhmm suuuure Tai. Davis happened to mention seeing you guys all get on the bus to Shibuya though so don't even try to lie to me! WHERE IS MATT?" Jun yelled, stirring the attention of the other customers. Tai grew very red and nervous, and Sora was stifling her laughs.
"Damn Davis he never shuts up... Uhhh ok fine Jun Matt's here. But we don't have any classes together so I really can't tell you too much. No lies this time. OK?" Tai said, admittingly. June smiled knowing this was the truth.
"Thanks Tai! Give me his room number and I'll take half off your meal how's that sound?" Jun said, trying to sound convincing. Tai and Sora both laughed.
"Nice try Jun but we'll pay in full." Tai said. Jun sighed and nodded.
"Well ok I'll take your orders then." Jun said, a little more gloomy than before but she was still loud. Tai ordered a full breakfast platter with an omelet, bacon, toast, and hashbrowns. Sora wanted something a bit lighter so she ordered a small stack of pancakes and fruit salad. June returned to the kitchen with their orders. Meanwhile Tai and Sora talked.
"So what did you think of last night Sora?" Tai said with a smile. Sora grew a little red but then smiled.
"I definitely enjoyed myself. How about you?" Sora said with a smile. Tai laughed. As if that was a question he would say no to.
"Sora of course I liked it. Hell ever since puberty hit me I've wanted to do that stuff with you!" Tai said with a laugh and Sora laughed too.
"Should we do it again though? I'm not sure if I want things to get complicated..." Sora said, looking down. Tai nodded in understanding but he looked intensely at her.
"Sora I've already been through the complicated part and I'm over it now. When you dated Matt for eight months in high school? That was fucking torture for me. But eventually I learned about just letting things go where they go. And this led to friends with benefits so I won't try for anything but that. Ok?" Tai explained. Sora felt ashamed for making Tai feel that way and she looked away from his face. But she nodded in understanding.
"I'm sorry I ever made you feel that way Tai... But I guess in a way we have each other now huh?" Sora said with a smile. Tai returned the smile and nodded. Then Jun returned with their food.
