Chapter 11
Sora awoke with her head still trying to figure out what she was going to do. Late that night before she fell asleep she decided to test the waters and see if Tai felt the same. Now all she needed was a plan.
"Morning Sora" Mimi said cheerfully
Sora smiled in response
Mimi was at the stove cooking breakfast and humming.
"Where's Kari?" Sora asked
"She's in the shower. You can take one after she's done" Mimi said
Sora nodded
Kari came out of the bathroom drying off her hair
"Morning Sora" she greeted
"Morning Kari. Well since the shower is free I'm going to take one" Sora said
"Alright, breakfast should be ready when you come out" Mimi said
Sora nodded and grabbed her bag she brought and headed to the bathroom. As she showered she kept thinking of how to approach Tai. She needed to do something that was big, yet subtle since she knew that was what is going to take for her best friend to notice her like she wanted. But what to do? She got out of the shower with no answer, but a lot of rejected ideas.
"Hey Sora, come sit" Mimi said
Sora did and began to pile her plate with food.
"So what shall we do today?" Mimi asked
"Well tomorrow you and Izzy are coming over for dinner" Sora said
"That's right, I totally forgot" Mimi said
"Well Mimi, you have been busy" Kari said smirking
Mimi blushed as Kari and Sora laughed
Tai yawned and rolled over as he tried to get some more sleep. The three guys were spread out around the living room. Tai was on the couch, well more like he was sprawled out on the couch, Izzy had taken a recliner and TK was in a cushy chair. The three had stayed up late chatting, eating, and watching movies. None of the guys even stirred when the girls came in.
"Ugh, what a mess" Mimi said scrunching up her nose at the sigh of the messy kitchen
"What do you expect," Sora said
"I would've thought living with you would've taught my brother some manners," Kari said
"Kari, if your mom couldn't teach him then what chance do I have?" Sora asked
"You have your wiles" Mimi said nudging Sora in the arm with her elbow
Sora blushed at this, which caused Kari to giggle
"Well, should we wake them or let them sleep?" Kari asked
Sora had a big grin on her face
"I have a plan," she said
The plan involved three buckets of ice-cold water and having each girl dump a bucket onto one of the guys. Mimi got Izzy; Kari got TK, leaving Sora with Tai.
"Okay, on the count of three. One, Two, Three!" Sora said
Three loud shouts erupted. The girls moved away from arms reaching for them as they cracked up.
"I'll get you for that Sora Takenouchi" Tai shouted
He stood up and was totally drenched. His shirt was clinging to his torso and he was furious.
"Who me?" Sora asked innocently
Tai growled as he chased after Sora. Mimi was laughing at the sight that she failed to see Izzy approaching her from behind and tackle her to the floor. Izzy then proceeded to tickle his girlfriend to death. Kari though was more wary after seeing what happened to her two friends. TK however was watching her and took her at her blind spot. She screamed in surprise and was soon hauled over the shoulder of her boyfriend to her bedroom where she was tickled savagely. When all three girls got their just desserts they had breakfast. Well the guys had breakfast since the girl already had it though the girl did eat since they got a work out from laughing and struggling so much.
"That was a dirty trick Sora" Tai said frowning
"Oh come on Tai, you'd do the same to me and you know it" Sora said smiling
Tai mumbled something, but no one understood it. After they were finished Tai and Izzy washed the dishes and Kari pulled TK into her room.
"So was it a success?" TK asked as soon as Kari closed the door
"Yep, Mimi and I got Sora to confess and now she plotting" Kari said happily
TK pumped his fist
"Now all we have to do is move things along" Kari said
"What?"
"Well if we let them do this at their normal pace we are going to be married and having kids by the time they start dating" Kari said
TK blushed a the thought of having kids with Kari, thus leading other thoughts of his girlfriend.
"TK, get your head out of the gutter" Kari said slapping her boyfriend in the arm
TK blinked and his blushed deepened
"Sorry he said
"It's alright, but we must stay focused" Kari said
TK nodded
They began to plan on how to move things along much quicker. What they didn't know was that Mimi and Izzy were doing the same thing.
Tai sat back lounging, he was supposed to be doing his homework, but didn't fee like doing at the moment.
"Tai, what are you doing?"
Tai looked up to find Sora looking at him with her hands on her hips. He knew this look and stance. She was unhappy with something.
"Uh, just relaxing" Tai said
Sora sighed
"Tai, you should be doing your homework" she said
Tai groaned
"Don't be such a baby Tai" Sora said
"But I don't wanna" Tai whined
Sora rolled her eyes
"Come on Tai, the faster you do your homework the quicker you can get back to being a lazy lizard" she said
"'Lazy lizard'? You haven't called me that since we were ten" Tai said
"And it seems the title still fits" Sora said smiling
Tai sighed and got up. He went to his room and grabbed his assignments then headed to the table to get them done. He knew if he didn't get some work done then Sora what nag him.
Sora smiled at her work and went to get her own homework.
They worked in peace with Sora glancing at Tai every so often. She felt like she was back in high school all over again. It was thrilling to have this feeling again. She didn't think that she'd ever have this feeling again. But here she was stealing glances of Tai.
TK and Kari were watching this all from Kari's room. Kari had a grin on her face.
Mimi and Izzy were back at Izzy's apartment with Mimi plotting her next move to get Tai and Sora together. Izzy watched his girlfriend pace back and forth in amusement.
"What we need to do next is give them a big push forward. We have to get them alone" Mimi said
"Easier said than done Meems. I don't think Tai is ready to let his feelings out" Izzy said
"Well then, we're going to have to make him" Mimi said
Izzy wasn't sure if Mimi should charge forward like this when it comes to Tai. But his only other option would lead him to have an angry girlfriend and that meant no cuddle time. He was addicted to that so he couldn't risk it.
"Come on Izzy, help me out here" Mimi said in a pleading tone
"Well since we are going to have dinner with them tomorrow we can use that time to give them a push" Izzy suggested
"But that's too long to wait" Mimi whined
"Then I'll just have to help you pass the time" Izzy said smirking
Mimi spotted that smirk and she liked it. God, she loved it when he looked at her like that. It made her hot. All planning of any kind was put on hold for the afternoon.
Sora was very happy. She had moved her chair, which was by Tai's side though a good amount of distance between them was now side-by-side as close as possible without her being in Tai's lap. She was helping Tai figure out one of his assignments. Yes, this was a good start. She used everything she could think of to entice Tai. She did what every girl did that was in this kind of situation. She flipped her hair, leaned in closer than was necessary, touched his hand or arm as much as possible without being suspicious, everything.
"This is better than I expect Sora in doing" Kari said watching the whole thing
"But all she is doing is what tons of girls have done with me" TK said
"Tons of girls?" Kari questioned
"Uh, well, you know Kari, how they are. It's not like I doing anything to indicate that I'm interested. Heck, it's always been you, I swear" TK said quickly
Kari smirked, she liked this newfound power over her boyfriend
"You're forgiven" she said
TK let out a sigh of relief and decided that he'd better watch what he says from now on.
They went back watch Tai and Sora.
Tai was trying very hard to concentrate on his work, but having Sora so close to him was very difficult. He could smell her since she was so close to him. It took every force possible for him not to smell her hair. Every time she touched his hand or arm he shivered. He could take this, he had survived this long being close to her and he could live through this. He kept telling himself that as he focused on his work, but he knew his will was faltering.
"Sora, what are you doing?" Tai asked
"Helping you with your homework" Sora answered innocently
Tai arched a brow. He knew Sora had helped him before with his homework, but never this close. He wondered what her game was. He knew that Sora wasn't the type of girl to toy with a boy's feelings. Heck, she was too much of a good girl to do that. Not to mention her conscience wouldn't allow her to do that even if she tried. So what was she playing at? Did she have feelings for him, and is now trying to show it off as subtly as possible? Tai shook his head, that was just plain crazy. He's known this girl for a long time and knew that she had no feelings for him at all.
Sora sighed as she rested her head on Tai shoulder, hoping that this would crack through his thick head.
Kari was grinning like mad as she saw Sora's move and it took every fiber in her being not to squeal. TK watched the scene with amusement. He never seen anything like this before. Even when girls did this to him they'd never did this. But he'd have to reason that he was usually with Kari while the girl would do this and probably didn't want to get a fist to the face for trying.
Tai stiffen when he felt Sora rest her head on his shoulder.
What the hell is going on Tai wondered
Come on Tai, I know you're not this dense. Can't you see I'm pulling every trick out of my bag to get you to make the connection without me throwing you down on the table and having my way with you. Sora thought You know that isn't a bad idea for later she added
Okay, you can get through this. You're strong, you can handle this. Damn, why does she have to smell so good. No, must concentrate. Okay A plus equals. Oh hell with it Tai thought
Tai leaned his head and with his hand he held Sora's head as he pushed his lips to hers. Sora's eyes widen when she saw him draw closer, but closed her eye as soon as her lips touched his.
Kari was silently squealing as she was bouncing up and down like a five-year-old on a sugar high. TK had to pull Kari away before she blew their cover.
"I can't believe it. He did it. I'm so proud of him" Kari said still bouncing around
TK just watched his girlfriend bouncing around. He had no idea what else he was suppose to do right now.
Izzy and Mimi were well into their make-out session when Izzy's phone began to ring.
"Let the machine get it" Izzy said panting
"Yeah, machine" Mimi said
"Izzy, Mimi, we have lift off, I repeat we have life off. Sora made her move and Tai took the bait hook, line, and sinker"
Izzy and Mimi jumped up at this and rushed to the phone.
"TK" Izzy said picking up the receiver
"About time, I knew that would get you off Mimi" TK said
Izzy gulped as he blushed bright red.
Mimi yanked the phone out of Izzy's hand.
"Tell me what happened TK, don't leave a single detail out" she commanded
"I'll hand the phone to Kari and she'll give you the play by play" TK said
Kari and Mimi chatted for a second then got to business. Kari told Mimi all about the little study session that began it all.
"She didn't" Mimi said with a gasp
"Yes she did, I couldn't believe it"
"Oh, I hope you got footage of it" Mimi said
"Of course I did, thanks to TK's birthday present to me"
"I can't wait to see it" Mimi squealed
"I e-mail it to you"
"I can't wait" Mimi said
Mimi hung up the phone afterwards and then rushed into Izzy's room where his computer was.
"What is it Mimi?" Izzy asked
"Kari is e-mailing me something very important" Mimi said
Once Mimi spotted the right e-mail she clicked on it and then on the button to open the video that Kari sent. Izzy and Mimi watch the whole scene of Sora enticing Tai from the beginning to when they finally kiss.
"Unbelievable" Izzy said
"I'm so proud" Mimi said as she wiped some tears away
Tai and Sora were on the couch, their homework forgotten as they enjoyed this new aspect of their relationship. Tai was the one to break off first.
"Sora, what does this mean?" he asked
"It means that I love you Tai, I've always loved you even when I was too stupid to see it" Sora said as she caressed Tai's cheek
Tai smiled, he longed to hear these words from Sora for a while and that he's heard them he just acted. He kissed Sora since he felt that no words could ever convey how he felt. Sor smiled she knew that Tai wasn't much for words, but his actions usually did quite well.
TK and Kari watched all this smiling.
That night when Izzy and Mimi came over for dinner the seating order was Tai and Sora, Izzy and Mimi, and then TK and Kari. They all had a great time enjoying the company of friends. They teased the new couple as much as they could. Especially when Tai and Sora found out that Kari recorded the whole thing.
"You are so dead Kari" Tai said glaring at his sister
"Oh come on Tai, I couldn't resist" Kari said smiling
"I could you let her do this to me TK" Tai said
TK held his hands up in defense, "you think I could've stopped her?"
Tai looked at TK then Kari
"Good point" he said
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Kari asked with a huff
"Nothing Kari, it jus that you can be scary when provoked" Tai said
"Provoked? Tai I didn't know you knew that word" Mimi said in a teasing tone
"Hey, that's low" Tai said
The others laughed at Mimi's teasing
"Fine, you guys aren't getting any dessert" Tai said
"Really Tai, not even me?" Sora asked
"Not even you" Tai said
Sora moved from her chair and sat in Tai lap as she whispered in Tai's ear. You could see Tai's face getting redder by the second and made you wonder what she was saying to Tai.
"F-fine you can have d-dessert" Tai stuttered out
"How'd she do that?" Izzy asked
"Feminine wiles" Mimi said
TK and Izzy looked at Mimi with a look of confusion.
"We'll tell you when you're older" Kari said
Once dessert was served everyone was now in the living room relaxing. Tai and Sora were snuggled up on the couch, Izzy and Mimi were sitting in one of the chairs, well Izzy was sitting in the chair with Mimi sitting on his lap, leaving TK and Kari on the floor. Everything was quiet as they enjoyed their dessert, the only thing that was happening was TK and Kari shooting each other looks.
"Okay, what's going on with you two?" Sora asked, as she was fed up with the glances
"What do you mean Sora?" Kari asked
"Come on, something is going on. You two have been shooting one another looks for a while" Mimi said
"Should we tell them?" Kari asked turning to TK
"I have a better idea" TK said smiling
Kari smiled back since she knew what was TK's 'better idea'. They leaned in and kissed shocking the other two couples in the room.
"What the hell" Tai shouted
This of course broke TK and Kari's kiss
"What Tai, I thought you wanted me to get together with TK" Kari said with her arms around TK's neck
"I did, but when did it al happen?" Tai asked
"Oh, on the day Sora was chasing you" TK said
"You've been together for that long and were able to keep it a secret" Mimi said shocked
TK and Kari nodded
Tai had his head in his hands shaking. Sora put an arm around to comfort her boyfriend only to find him laughing.
"Tai, are you alright?" Sora asked
Tai began to laugh hysterically freaking everyone in the room out.
"He's finally lost" Izzy said
