I tried to sleep but my thoughts about Mimi showing up the next day kept bothering me.

What if she didn't show up? She is not obligated on doing so. But she asked me, right? She should come… she is going to come. She has to.

Hours passed by and I kept thinking about her. After a while I fall asleep. Didn't know when or how but I slept.

I started dreaming about nothing in particular. Then Sora was there and it turned to a nightmare. But the last thing I could recall about that weird dream was that I found at last, light between the shadows.

"Miss, Miss!" yelled a lady trying to stop Mimi from driving away. Mimi got out of the car and walked to the lady.

"Yes?" asked her smiling. The lady worked at the hotel, Mimi could tell by the clothes she was wearing.

"You can't leave" Mimi stared at her. "Mr. Ishida is probably still sleeping but he definitely whishing of going out today with your company"

"How do you know that?"

"Yesterday when you brought him back, he seemed relief. He has been already here for a week and yesterday was the first time he walked out of his room. Something really bad has happened to him."

"Why are you so worried about him?"

"He seems to be a very kind person. Don't let him fall in depression again." Mimi frowned at the lady's suggestion. "He needs a friend right now. He needs you"

I hear the door opened and closed again. I thought about the possibility of the maid entering again to clean my room but I didn't heart the step walking around the room like the last time. I also thought about the possibility of me being dreaming about the door. I opened my eyes to look at the hour but a person got my attention.

"Hi" I whispered looking at Mimi standing at the edge of my bed.

I was still half asleep so I didn't realize that she was actually there, in my room, staring at me while I slept. She smiled at me. I had one arm covering my eyes and the sheets were covering the inferior part of my body. My chest was bare, thought. I closed my eyes again, hoping I would sleep a bit longer but then my brain started working again. My eyes were wide open and my heart was beating hard in my bare chest. I sat on my bed looking at the front were I thought Mimi was standing but she was not there. I took a deep breath and relax again. I lay back on my back and looked at the deck.

"Morning" said Mimi lying next to me.

"Fuck" I cried out and felt from the bed to the cold floor. I could hear her laughing at me. I crawled under the bed to the other side then I appeared next to her still seating on the cold floor. "You scared the hell out of me!" I said out loud. She jumped by noticing that I was there next to her.

"Sorry" then she started laughing again at me or at the situation, I couldn't tell. But that make me smile, and it was a real smile, not fake, not forced, not a sad one; a real smile. She stopped laughing after a while and stared at me. "I like your smile" my smiled turned to a smirked "You should smile more" then it reappeared in my face.

It felt nice, though.

"Why are you here?" I questioned her.

"You are late. It's already 10 and I was tired of waiting for you."

"So you decided to brake in and wake me up?" I asked still smiling at her. Never ever, someone has waking me up like that. It was not normal, I was not use to it but anyway I liked it.

"Blame the ones, who work in this hotel, they kind of force me in. I was actually driving away when she stopped me" I understood that she was talking about the maid. "Then the tall man in the reception help her on carrying me to your hotel room" I laughed, for the first time in a week or so, I laughed. Mimi was really helping me. First smiling, and then laughing. What was coming next?

After a quick shower and getting ready as fast as I could, we were already down stairs. We walked through the reception and I could recognize a hidden smile in the receptionist's face. I couldn't help but think about why they would help me like this.

We walked out of the hotel to Mimi's car. Then I froze. She got into the pilot seat, waiting for me to get it. I was staring at her truck. It was huge. I didn't notice it yesterday, I don't know how I couldn't but I didn't.

It was an old version of a Chevrolet Silverado dark blue, most likely reconstructed. The only difference between the two cars is that the hopper had a deck over it and the truck only had two doors at each sides and the one in the back. It was huge and amazingly cool. If I didn't know something about cars, I could have swear that this was a hummer

"What are you waiting for?" she asked after rolling the window down. I was amazed by her car that I barely could move. "I'm starving please! Get in!" she kind of yelled at me. I got into the car and looked around.

"You truck is amazing!"

"I know, that's why this is my truck and not yours" she said playfully. Matt rolled his eyes and Mimi showed him her tongue.

"Hey, so what is behind this" he said pointing at the black window that was behind the two front seats, hiding what ever was back there.

"Nothing you should know about" she smiled at his face of resentfulness. "I'm kidding"

"So are you going to show me?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

"First, breakfast; then, I'll show you everything you want" Mimi smiled brightly while Matt tried to hide his.

"So after that, I started as a photographer. There are many magazines that pay pretty good money for my photos" Mimi took another zip from her coffee and stared at Matt. She realized 3 seconds after that, that Matt was concentrate thinking about something else. "It must be hard"

"What?" asked Matt surprised by the suddenly change of subject.

"I mean, breaking up with your girlfriend" Matt frowned "Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it."

"No, no. I'm fine, don't worry. "Matt's frowned vanished. "I actually was not thinking about her. I was thinking about you"

Mimi's worried expression fainted. "How is that?"

"It's pretty hard to think about my ex having you around"

"You want me to go?"

"No, please don't!" exclaimed Matt a bit more loudly than he would have wish. "I mean, I would like you to stay. It's not like I'm forcing you, right? Because if you want, you can go and—"

"I was just kidding" he felt relief by her statement.

"Ok, don't" Mimi started giggling and he smirked.

"Ok. Now explain please" she commanded.

"…About why I don't want you to go?"

"No. About how is that you were thinking about me. But that too"

He smiled. "I was thinking about how is that you are here right now, with me"

"Interesting"

"So, can you help me to find out the reason why?" Mimi stared at him. There were so many reasons unknown about the fact that she volunteered herself to make him a tour through the city or the fact that she actually was convinced by the maid of making him company. So she said the only reason she could think about in that moment.

"You were alone" she let her empty coffee muck back on the table. She paused.

"Thanks for clearing it up" he said in some way sarcastic. But there was something in her voice telling him that she was not finished.

"I was alone" she added and they locked eyes. "Now, we are not alone any longer"

"For now" he added still looking into her eyes. He felt sad about thinking about an end, it had just started.

"Its nice thought" she said before looking away into nothing in particular.

"You are a mystery" he said contemplating her. She blushed a bit but smile.

"Hey! It's not like you got instructions printed in you front head either" she laughed and stood up. "I'll be right back. I just need to check on my make up" she made fun of it. She was using not make-up at all. He smiled at her and watched her walked to the ladies room.

I watched her go. After she disappeared into the ladies room, my mind started thinking about things I prefer not to. The thoughts about Sora appeared in my mind. The thoughts about me being alone and the fact that I was supposed to be a loner, make me feel sad. I thought about now, being in Mimi's company felt just right. She makes me forget about everything and focus just in live my life the way I wanted. But any time she was not—

"Matt? Are you ok?" asked Mimi worriedly. I looked up and all the thought I was having vanished from my mind. A smiled appeared back in my face. I watched carefully how her expression became more relax after seeing me smiling.

"Yeah" I felt some kind relief too, she was back. "Let's go"

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah" I stared at the back door of the truck. Mimi stood next to the door and she opened it slowly. I stared at the inside of the cab. I have never seen something like this before. I was like an extreme version of pimp my ride and while you weren't at home.

There was a bed of one and a half plaza. Next to it was a mini fridge with a protector over it to use it as a table. In front of the bed or better say under it, was something like a drawer. There was a free space to stand or actually kneeled down in front of the fridge and next to the bed. There was a stereo installed in the wall.

I looked at her, amazed by her car. She just smiled at me and I focus myself again in the inside of the car. You could see on the car walls different little drawers or hangers or stuff to put things in or just decorations. There were also, lots of discs in a thing. I could not tell it that has actually a name but it was some how circular and there was the best music ever.

There was a picture or better say a painting from her and man hugging. There was also a laptop lying on the bed.

The colors of this room were several: dark blue and violet but also some different shades of them in lightly ones, so the cabin wouldn't look that dark, for the walls; dark red the bed cover; the floor carpet was black; the fridge was gray; and there were a few pillows in dark red, blue, violet and black, that were decorating the bed. It was pretty small for an actual room or home to live in, it was the inside of an old huge track; but pretty enough for someone to spend some weeks without visiting home for a while.

My jaw reached the ground and Mimi laughed at me. This was amazing. I would never ever thought about something like this! It was huge. It was cool. It was just perfect.

"How… What… did you?" he didn't know what to say. Not even how to ask her how she did to have such an incredible truck.

"When I got my driver license, my dad wanted to buy me a real car but I told him that I wanted the car to be mine and only mine, so I paid for it. But it's not like I had the money of the world, so I bought a really old truck." She said. She took a photo from a drawer she just open and showed him. Matt looked at it then at her and frowned. "My dad didn't want me to drive that crab of car. It was really a mess. But I did it anyway because I loved it because it was mine, just mine. So one day, two friends of mine and I, went to a house on the lake for a weekend. My dad told me he was going to take my car to the mechanic because I can't remember exactly why but he said it was urgent."

"And he bought you this car instead of yours?" Matt asked.

"No" Mimi smiled "Would you believe me if I told you that this is still the truck I bought?"

"How?" he could not believe her words.

"He bought paint, new parts and new furniture and he spend the whole weekend doing this for me" Matt was speechless. "Yeah… my reaction was the same as yours when I first saw it."

"Your dad is amazing" he said.

"Yeah he was" Matt froze at her words. She didn't mean that, right? Then her words reappeared in his mind: I was alone.

"I'm so sorry"

"Don't be" she smiled at him "It's better this way" he didn't understand that but he obeyed and then change the subject. He wanted to ask her million of things but he knew also that this was not the time to. Mimi closed the back door and they got in the car. She drove away and the city tour began.
