Naomi's P.O.V
"So, are we on speaking terms?" Matt asked me. We had just spent nearly 3 hours talking and reflecting on what happened. I mean it's good to make peace with your ex right?
"Yeah, I guess so. I really had fun catching up and talking" I said. He smiled and looked at Yoshirou who was sleeping in his stroller.
"I still can't believe he's mine". I spread my lips into a small smile. It was so good to hear that. I'm happy that Yoshirou's father is happy to have him in his life.
"I know how you feel". We were now just walking around Odaiba eventually we'd both end up at our apartments. "Today has really reminded me of how much I missed spending time with you" I said unconsciously. I snapped my mouth shut once I realized what I said. "Uh, I mean in a, uhm...".
"No, it's okay. I get it". I let out a sigh. I don't love him anymore. I promised myself I never will. Not after what he did. But can I really bring myself to not somehow love my son's father? "You know,my apartment is actually just around the corner. So I'm gonna head off first cause I haven't seen Sora since this afternoon and I don't want her to worry".
"Yeah, sure. I totally get it. My apartment isn't really that far from here".
"Okay. It was nice catching up and knowing that we're okay".
"Yeah. I'll see you around?".
"Definitely. See ya". He started to slowly move to a different direction. Deep down, I was hoping he'd walk me back like old times. But he didn't. I continued walking until I reached the apartment Tai and I shared.
Matt's P.O.V
I know I should have walked her home but I don't know. Something was telling me not to. Something was telling me to go straight back home and be with Sora. It bugged me the whole time I was walking home. I reached our building and headed for the elevator. I stepped in and it seemed like forever. Finally, I reached our floor. I got out my keys and opened the door. The moment I stepped in the house. I heard a door swiftly open. Then Sora came to view. With her cute little pajama bottoms on and her hair in a messy bun. "Where the hell have you been?" she barked. She stormed over to me and looked me in the eye. Her expression was dead serious. "I was worried sick! Not only did you run off for the entire afternoon with your ex, you left me with Tai. FREAKING TAI. Do you know how awkward it was?".
"Come on, Sora. I saw my son for the first time!" I said loudly. Then I realized Sora didn't know.
"Your son?" she said. It sounded sad and shocked at the same time. "That little boy in the stroller was your son?".
"Yeah. You didn't..".
"We didn't talk about it . Tai and I spent an hour together then I came home".
"Well, he does kinda look like me". Sora walked over to the living room which had a full length window. It overlooked Odaiba. I heard a sniffle. Oh, shit. How much can I screw up in one lifetime?
"I can't believe it".
"What?". Oh, dumb question.
"That you guys have a kid together! Oh my God, I'm such a terrible person". She moved towards the couch and sat down. I went over to join her and wrapped my arm around her shoulder. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"Shhh. Don't say that" I whispered.
"No" she said, her lips trembling. "It's true. I rid that boy from having a family. If I hadn't done what I did, you and Naomi would be married with a little baby boy". Well, she does have a point but it's my job as her boyfriend to make her feel better.
"Hey, I love you. I probably always have, I just didn't realize it. But nothing is breaking us up. Nothing. My son isn't going to tear us apart". I cupped both of her cheeks and kissed her forehead lightly. She wrapped her hands around my wrist and gave me a small but reassuring smile.
Naomi's P.O.V
After putting Yoshirou to sleep, I crawled into bed next Tai. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we both stared at the ceiling. "So, how was alone time with the ex?" he asked.
"It was really nice, to be honest" I answered. It's true. "I mean we basically talked about what happened but now that it's all in the open, I guess we're okay".
"As friends?". Tai lifted himself up a bit, his elbow supporting him. He hovered above me with eyes that seek reassurance.
"Of course". I give him a small smile as I lean up and peck him gently on the lips. He leans back down and I placed my hand on his chest. "There's nothing left between Matt and I. It all faded away over the time he was gone".
"Same". I give him a werid look. "About Sora. I mean Matt and I are still cool, I guess. I mean yeah, I'm pissed he took my girl but whatever".
"I don't know how to deal with Sora. Now that Matt and I are on friendly speaking terms, I'm sure she's going to try her luck on pretending whatever happened didn't happen". She better believe what happened.. happened. I mean she kinda caused it! Sheeshkebab.
"Chill. I'm sure she just wants you guys to be friends again. You guys were like really tight, especially through high school".
"This isn't high school anymore, Tai" I said softly but firmly. "You don't get a second chance when you screw up anymore. This is it. She did what she apparently had to do, now she'll pay for it".
"Do you really want to throw your friendship away?". I sit up and lean against bed frame. I hate it when he has a point.
"No but that doesn't excuse her for the bitch she's been".
"She hasn't been a bitch. You just think she is cause she stole Matt". I can't do this. I cannot stay on this topic anymore. But there's one thing I have to know. I have to know why she fell for Matt.
"Were you guys fighting? Or not having sex" I asked nonchalantly.
"What?".
''You and Sora. Were guys fighting or anything? Around after Matt proposed to me". Tai had his serious thinking face on.
"Well, we were arguing like every other day".
"About what?".
"About... things. I don't know. She gets pissed when I don't help her, she's get pissed when I do. She pretty much got pissed at everything".
"Except Matt".
"What about you? Were you and Matt.. not in a good place at the time?".
"Of course not! Things were so amazing. I guess. Well, sometimes we didn't have sex because I was swamped with work but he didn't seem to mind".
"Maybe he just didn't tell you". That had never occurred to me until about right now. What if Matt got bored and tired? Then went to someone else who was way more relaxed. If he was bored and tired, why'd he propose? Then I heard my cellphone vibrate. I grabbed from the side table and found a new text message.
Can I spend the day with Yoshi tomorrow? - Matt
We were okay. We were friends, I guess. And it would be really good for Yoshi to have some time with his dad.
Sure :-) No problem. I'll send him over to your place - Yomi
"I'm sending Yoshi over to Matt's tomorrow. So, you don't have to drop him off at my parents' place if you plan on going anywhere" I said as I placed my phone back on the side table.
"Does Matt know how to take care of a baby?".
"I'm sure he's babysat before. It isn't that hard".
"Easy for you to say! You're a girl". I let out gasp and hit him gently.
"I'm your girl" I smiled as he kissed my lips softly. I place my hand at the back of his neck and deepen the kiss. He slowly entered his tongue into my mouth. He placed one hand on my waist and the other on my Tai. He began tracing little circles on my thigh which made me giggle. I pulled away and he had a little smirk on his face. "What're you thinking?".
"I'm thinking we don't have that much fun anymore" he said, emphasising on the fun.
"Yeah because my son is sleeping in the same room. Maybe when we can put him in his own room, then we can continue our fun".
"Nice". I let out a giggle as I lay back down. I turn to my right and face my side table. He snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. "Goodnight, baby" he whispered into my ear. I feel a tingle go down my spine. It felt so familiar as if someone else had done it before. Oh, wait. Someone had. Matt.
Well, there you go! Hope you like it :)
