Chapter 5: Babysitting.
In the early morning of Saturday, Sora received an early call from Matt. She yawned softly and answered, "Hello? Sora speaking."
"Morning sunshine, did Sarah let you sleep last night?"
She moaned quietly rubbing her eyes, "A little, she woke up two times in the middle of the night. Can't wait until you come and pick her up," she grinned slowly.
He chuckled from the other line, "You want me to be tortured, don't you?"
Sora took the phone to her room and went back to her bed, she tucked herself with her sheets looking at Sarah, who 'slept' beside her motionless, "Yeah. That'll be fun to watch."
They both laughed, they kept a quiet moment and relived the image of them two together in the bed, like a slow romantic movie. But no one bother to mention it.
"Where are you at? Are you rehearsing?"
"Yeah. We have a five minute break, I wanted to see if you survived the night. I guess you did, Takenouchi."
She laughed, "I did, she wasn't a bother. Except for yesterday after you left, Mimi called and gave me advice. She also called to tell me that she is coming back from her break with Izzy. I really missed her."
"That's great! Finally you'll have some feminime company."
"Yeah, you're right. I can get tired of seeing the same people," she joked, "I'm kidding Matt, I'll never get tired of seeing you."
"I always look forward to seeing you every day at school."
There was an awkard silence between them, neither knew if the other one was blushing or if they said something wrong. They kept quiet until the appropriate time came up and they had to go because Matt had to began to rehearse again and Sora had to get up to do some morning chores. Both were lies, but they were great excuses to hang up the phone.
Sora laid on her bed until her clock clicked the next minute, setting it at 8:00 a.m. sharp.
"It's still early..." with that, she went back to sleep.
Matt hunged his cell and placed it back on his pocket.
"We heard that loverboy! 'I always look forward to seeing you every day at school,'" Takashi mimicked Matt in a feminime form, pretending to be talking on the phone with his fingers.
Yutaka was smirking from behind Takashi, holding his laughter with his hand; the muffles of it almost escaping the palm of his hand.
"Shut up, Takashi. Since when did you get so noisy? I don't think it's none of your business with who I'm talking to," Matt responded harshly, his cheeks burning with redness.
"Geesh, you don't have to bite my head off, I was just teasing you, Matt."
"I'm sorry, I guess I got annoyed that you were there hearing my conversation."
"Next time we'll be sure not to hear your conversation, I wouldn't want your foot up-" Takashi was about to finish his sentence, but Richard entered to the conversation adding his part of the talk with something different.
"Hey Matt."
As much as Matt tried to ignore the whole, Richard on a date with Sora, issue, he couldn't help but to give Richard a hatred look directly at his face. Richard didn't seem to notice, since he was in high spirits.
"What do you want?"
"Oh, I wanted to ask you if you could give me permission to leave early. I have other things to do and I'm sorry to say this but I don't think I'll join you for afternoon practice."
Matt hesistated, he wanted to say 'no' but then he remembered that Sora would be waiting for him, and probably Richard would tell Sora that Matt was being a big bully and wouldn't let him go, and Sora would then be mad at Matt and probably she wouldn't want to talk to him for ruinning her date. All he had to do was suck it in and not let it get to him. He would just pray for nothing serious to happend.
"Yeah, go ahead."
"Thanks man!"
Richard went back to his drums and started to practice alone.
"So, Rick. What kind of plans are you having this afternoon?" asked Takashi, returning to his bass and checking the vibration of his instrument. Takashi was a curious guy, he liked to ask anything that happend around the society of teen people, if it was today's new gossip or the last week's rumors. Anything that would keep the school fresh of drama. Not only did his curiousity took him to other levels, he liked to joke around with people, some would get mad for his cheeky remarks others would laugh.
"I have a date with a pretty lady," Richard answered happily.
Matt wanted to rip out that smirk from his face so badly, his guitar would be the perfect piece of object to knock it off. His little devil inside him, smirked at the thought of it.
"How much did you pay her to do it?" kid Takashi.
"Ha ha. Funny."
Yutaka laughed but kept quiet, he practice his small, what looked like an electronic piano, not saying another word.
"For your information, Takashi; she accepted because she has feelings for me. I just know it, and today I won't back away from my only opportunity to ask her out."
"Okay guys! Chitchat is over! I don't want to hear this discussion anymore!" Matt yelled from the back, everyone turned around to see him. He didn't make eye contact with anyone, he lightly looked at his fingers moving furiously on his guitar.
"What bit you dude?" Yutaka asked for the first time that day, "You look grumpy, did something upset you?"
"What upsets me is that you would rather spend your time on chatting like schoolgirls than to respect the band and practice, thats what's bitting me." Hatching a lie wasn't hard for Matt to make, especially when it came to hidding what really bothered you. No one on the room dared to say anything else, only commiting to practice until noon stroke.
They bid goodbye to each other, Matt apologuised again for being rude and said next time he would punch himself first before he said anything. He reminded them their practice this afternoon, except for Richard (who was already gone in such a rush that he didn't bother to say goodbye to any of the guys).
The doorbell seem to ring from a far away distance, she stirred on her bed from the noise, opening her eyes sharply, "Oh no! I think I overslept!" she kicked her covers staring at her clock beside her bed, 12:15 p.m.
"Ahhh! I did oversleep!"
She hurried to the door and opened it to see Matt standing calmly, both his hands concealed inside his pockets.
He raised his eyebrow casually, "What's with the Pj's? I thought you were already up doing some chores."
"Um..." Sora was tongue-tied, "I...I forgot to do them and went to sleep again," she shamefully said.
He laughed, "It happends. No one loves to do chores, you rather do other things."
"Yeah. Oh! I'm sorry, come in," she stepped aside, letting Matt in.
"Thanks," he said while taking his shoes off.
Sora led him to her room, ordering him to sit on the bed and to be careful.
"Came to pick her up?"
"Half true, I wanted to see you and I see that I came in the right time," he smirked looking at her yellow short shorts and tanktop pijamas.
She hit him on the arm playfully, but the comment made her blush and feel good about herself. Sora went back to her sleeping place crisscrossing her legs and grabbing her pillow, hugging it tightly.
"How was rehearsal? I bet you kicked butt!"
"Yeah...we practiced since in the morning, we will practice again around five in the afternoon, but for now I have some free time, and I wanted to spend it with you."
"What do you want to do? There is really nothing to do," Sora implied rocking herself softly back and forth, hugging her headpillow. She gasped and asked if he had eaten, when his responce came to a no, Sora smiled and said she would make him lunch. She got up from her bed and went to the kitchen, "Can you bring Sarah with you? That way we can hear her cry," she said outloud from the kitchen.
Matt brought her in his arms and sat on one of the kitchen chairs. He watched as Sora moved from one place to another, getting ingridients for her food preparation. She took eggs, vegetables, pans, some sort of meat, rice and a kind of oil for cooking.
She placed the pan on the stove putting some cooking oil and let it heat for five minutes. While the oil heated she started to cut vegetables in the table, Matt watched her with little Sarah in his arms, and noticed how she enjoyed to cook. After the oil was in a good temperature she put the veggies to cook, they sizzled as the oil absorved into the veggies. She cut the meat and cooked them on another pan. Soon enough the whole kitchen smelled delicious, Matt's stomach growled, demanding its meal with strong impacts.
"There! Good and done!" Sora placed the plater on the table. Chopsticks on the side and a glass of fresh water.
"Wow! It looks delicious! I'm really surpriced. I'm going kidnapped you so you could be my cook."
Sora laughed sitting infront of Matt, watching him trying to eat while he still had Sarah on his arms, she smirked rasing an eyebrow.
"Do you need help with her, or do you feel like a big man that you could do it yourself?"
Matt struggled with his chopsticks, "No, I can do it myself just fine."
"Fine, suit yourself." She crossed her arms and placed them on top.
"This is really good, what is it?"
"Well, it's my famous chicken rice with a touch of my secret ingredient," she winked at him and resumed on her talk, "but that won't come out from my mouth until I have my first daughter."
"It's really good, you are a great cook."
"Thanks, I love to cook... Can I tell you something?"
He place his chopsticks aside, "You can tell me anything. I'm hear to listen."
"Don't laugh, but I always wanted to have a cooking show."
"I think that's great! You will be a great hit! I will support you one hundred percent."
"Thanks for supporting me. I'm thinking of taking a cooking class for next year's elective."
Matt smiled, still eating his meal and supporting Sarah with his arm. Sora felt sorry for him and took her in her arms, walking around the kitchen craddeling her as Sarah started to make noise. "There, there. Mommy's here."
"You do a great job on being a mother." Matt got up and took his clean plate to the sink, he washed it and left it on the rack to dry.
"You shouldn't have done that, I would of cleaned it."
"It wasn't a bother, come let's watch something, I only have a few hours until practice."
Together they sat on the couch facing the television, Sora grabbed the remote and turned it on. She sat beside Matt, her arms around Sarah's small body, protecting her from anything around that could damage her. Matt wrapped his arm around Sora's shoulder, she leaned back and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Thanks for that delicious meal, I really enjoyed it. I'm also enjoying this moment just the two of us."
Sora smiled, "No problem, I enjoyed doing it. I made it with care and love." She closed her eyes not interested on the show that was on, all she was interested in was Matt beside her. She didn't know if the comfort of Matt's shoulder was the cause of her sleepish eyes, until she was completely asleep.
Matt watched as her eyes gave up and shot down, she grabbed Sarah before Sora dropped her and carried her again in his arms.
The tv spoked with a bored expression, making Matt's eyes give up, until he too, fell asleep.
"Sora? Honey?" Sora felt someone shake her on her shoulder, she mumbled something in her sleep. Her eyes opened slowly staring at a blury face.
"What? What time is it?"
"It's 4:30."
Sora quickly got up waking Matt from his slumber, "What happend?"
"Matt! We slept! It's 4:30! You rehearsal and my date!"
Matt, with Sarah on his arms (which was a miracle that he didn't drop her while he slept) jolted up, "Ahhh! No! I have to meet the guys in half an hour!"
"I haven't even showered!" Sora added loudly.
Sora's mom watched as the two teenagers freaked, they looked at each other then ran in circles. It was entertaining
"Okay! Come!" Sora grabbed his hand and dragged him into her room, she went to one of her drawers and took a small blanket. "This is my baby blanket, wrap her around and go! Here is the diaper bag, take it with you! You have to rehearse! I'm not even ready and Rick is going to be here in thirty minutes!" She pushed him out her room and out the entrance hall.
"Good luck..yahda yahda yahda, bye!"
"Sora! Wait!" Matt put his foot on the door before it shut on his nose.
"Yeah what?! I'm in a hurry and you need to go to practice!"
"Um...never mind, have fun Sora...bye.." His foot released the door backing away from the door and turning away from her. Sora watched as he turned left and disappeared into a hallway, whishing that atleast he would come back and said something like "Don't go with him! come with me and forget him!" Or running towards her not giving her a warning and kissing her at the scene. But none of that happend as she returned back to her room.
She searched deeply into her closet, looking for what she would wear for today's apointment, she took out what seem like a pair of jeans and a pink spaghetti strap blouse.
"This will do."
"Matt! Hey man, you are here! At first we thought you ditched practice to see your lady so we...whoa! What is that?" Takashi pointed the pink blob Matt was carrying. "Dude, who did you...?"
"No one! It's a project for school. It was my turn to take care of her and unfortunatly, I had to bring her to practice. Sora is on a date today so she can't take care of her."
"Sora is your partner? Whoa, that explains some things, and a date? With who?"
Matt squinted his eyes with hatred, "Rick."
Yutaka's eyes wided adding his own words to the conversation, "So that's why he was in such a hurry to leave."
"And I bet that's what got you upset."
"What? No! It was the stress and...and..." Matt couldn't stop the redness that bounced out from his fine face.
"Save your breath, loverboy. We know, it's not that hard to spot. Richard can get on your nerves sometimes, and we understand, always showing off and that kind of stuff."
"So we understand your pain; Richard trying to take away your lady," Yutaka added padding Matt's back. Matt hunged his head but didn't want to feel isolated, 'at this time they are probably watching a movie or eating something.'
"Hey Matt, cheer up."
"I know what'll cheer you up; Practice!" Takashi grabbed his bass and made a long, loud note.
A loud cry was heard from the pink blob Matt was carrying. "You woke her up! She must been program to cry at loud noises."
"Oops, sorry dude, I didn't know."
Matt rocked her back and forth around the small looking garage.
"Here, let me help." Matt handed Sarah slowly to Takashi, he, with good care, started to rock her but that didn't work.
"You are doing it all wrong Takashi, give her to me." Yutaka soon had Sarah in his arms, "Where is her bottle?"
"Here."
"Thanks Matt." He placed the bottle inside her mouth, she stopped crying and 'enjoyed' her fake meal.
"Who ever thought that Yutaka made such a great mother," Takashi joked.
Yutaka rolled his eyes and ignore Takashi's comment still feeding the fake baby.
"He does a great job though, he would make a better father than me. I can't even keep her quiet."
"It's easy. Here," he gave Sarah back to the 'parent', "I guess it's because I had alot of experience with relatives and I use to babysit on my early adolosence."
"Thanks for the help guys. I should put her somewhere so we can practice, but...there is no place to put her." He scanned the room for some kind of object he could use as a crib.
"Use this, it seems good for a craddle," Takashi recommended, handing Matt a rectangular brown box that was a perfect fit for the baby. Matt put her on the box with the baby blanket Sora gave him. He put her aside and went to his instrument.
Their practice didn't last long; at the beggining of their song, Sarah beggan to cry, it was no use of putting her to sleep then to practice, she would once again cry. They gave up and started to cheer her up. They tried to make baby noises, that didn't help ( since she was a fake baby). They took turns on carrying her and craddeling her.
"Maybe she needs to burp," Yutaka suggested
Matt took his advice and started to pat her on her back, he continued until he heard the small burp and a pleasent cooing.
"There we go, don't you feel better now?" Sarah did not respond. "I'm going to cancel the rest of the practice, this is not possible with her. We will continue on Monday."
"Monday? Don't you mean Tomorrow?"
"No. Monday, Tomorrow is Sunday, Sora and I are going to take care of her tomorrow."
Yutaka and Takashi smirked.
"What?"
"Oh nothing," Takashi answered, "It's just the way you said it, all excited and happy."
Matt blushed.
"Awwww, look at him! he's blushing!"
"I'm not! Bye, see ya on Monday!" He left before any of the guys would add more to the sentence.
He ran a few blocks then stopped, deciding that he was far enough from the guys. He looked at his arms and saw the blank look from Sarah, her plastic skin reflected from the streetlamps. What should I do with her? Should I go back to Sora's house and give it to her?...No, right now she must be enjoying her date. It wouldn't be fair just giving her, since she already slept with Sarah last night. Maybe I'll just go to see how her date went, then I'll leave. Yeah, that's a good reason.
His steps echoed through the quiet sidewalk, the night sky was appearing right infront of his cerulean eyes, the twinkle of a million eyes that spread across the dark heavens. Night had arrive and it was only seven o'clock.
When he got to Sora's house, the house was dark and lonely. Matt guessed that Sora wasn't home yet, he sat on the front part of her house and waited with Sarah. He glanced at his watch every once a while.
When two hours passed by, Matt was about give up, but not before long he heard voices and saw shadows across the street.
"You don't have to, my house is right around the corner," inquired the first voice. It was a female voice, and not hard to reconize.
"But I want to. I want you safe. I don't want your mom to kill me," the second male voice joked, laughing at his own witticism.
The other voice didn't say anything, she bid goodbye and was heading towards her house, when the other shadow stopped her by grabbing her shoulder.
"I had fun tonight," he said, leaning closer to kiss her.
Matt saw the two shadows and tried to stop it. He controlled himself and watched attentevely.
She turned her head aside before he kissed her and missed, kissing nothing but air. "Thanks for tonight, I had fun too. Bye." She left him alone in the dark spot. She was heading towards Matt, but she didn't seem to see him; she was too busy digging inside her purse for her keys. When they jingled, she knew she had found them. He quickly got up and hid in some bushes with Sarah. They rustled, making Sora turned around and see who it was; no one was there.
She entered and headed inside. Matt peeked through the bushes. How could he be such a chicken? He had his chance right there! He creeped out from the rustly bushes and sat again infront of her door. He leaned his head against the door, closing his eyes and letting the sleep inside him take over.
The wails of Sarah woke him up, he jerked upwards hitting his head on the knob. A light came to life from the house, he cursed at himself for sleeping in her doorway and waking almost all the neighbors. The door creaked and from the door appeared a head.
"Matt?"
"Um...Hi Sora!"
"What are you doing here?"
This time he couldn't cook up a lie, he was too nervous to answer. Might as well tell her the truth, "I canceled practice because Sarah wasn't fit for loud noises, so I decided to come here and see how it went, but you weren't home and I decided to leave, but then I changed my mind and waited another two hours, and so, here I am." He smiled nervously and waited to be yelled at, but to his astonishing surprice that didn't happend.
"Oh! You must be freezing Matt, come in before you catch a cold."
He entered with Sarah and her wails.
"Aren't we going to wake your mom up with Sarah's cries?"
Sora laughed closing the door behind her, "Trust me, after my mom is out like a light, nothing can wake her. Not even an earthquake! You must be tired, why don't you lie down in the sofa, I'll make you something to eat." "That's not necessary, I can go home right now."
"It's too late, I don't want you to go at this time. Why don't you stay here and tomorrow you can go home. You can sleep in my bed, it's big enough for two."
Matt thought about it, she was right, it was late for him to walk alone at this time of night, he could get jumped. And he wouldn't mind staying with Sora in her bed, it would make him sleep better.
"Won't your mom get mad?"
Sora smiled charmly, "Don't worry, I'll talk to her, she understands these kind of circumstances. Come, it's late and you need your sleep."
He followed her to her room and closed the door behind, holding Sarah, who miraculous stopped whinning. "You didn't tell me how it went."
Her back was facing him, she seemed to think about it, "It went well I guess, I had a good time."
There was something that she wasn't telling and Matt knew it.
"What do you mean 'I guess'?"
Sora sighed, "When I ment I guess, I guess that it went a bit far...He wanted to be my boyfriend."
He flinched, Richard was right, he wasn't going to back away from asking her out, and Matt though he wasn't done. "What did you say?"
Sora turned around to face him, she smiled and said, "I said no. He is not my type, I've noticed that. I thought I liked him, when I saw him he made me happy but I guess I was wrong. I think I'm still waiting for that one guy to say it...Okay, enough of that, it's late. Here, give me Sarah, you go and change.I have...um these long T-shirts from your concert and this tennis shorts I accidently got from my coach."
Without thinking that Sora was present, Matt took his shirt off revealing his naked torso, Sora blushed looking away. She put Sarah in between the bed tuking her and getting in the bed too. Matt went on the other side and crept inside the sheets, Sora turned off the lamp that casted the light around her room, making the strong shadows of the furniture that danced around fade away, only darkness was around and the noise of breaths from both teens.
"Goodnight Sora."
"Goodnight Matt."
She was two feet away and so was he. Sarah was in between them, cutting them away from each other like two sepperated islands. They were both awake, they couldn't sleep knowing their presence was there. But nothing was better than sleeping together, even if the baby was in the middle of it.
So? How was it? Please leave a comment!! thanks:D
