Track 2

Sleeping Beauty

Mimi POV

I wake up to the loud yelling voice of my manager or on good days I like to call him my best friend.

"Mimi you better be up or else" he yelled threateningly from outside my room.

I roll my eyes and grab a pink pillow and cover my head. I try to block the sunlight from creeping into my eyes and try once more to sleep. "Ugh, go away Tai" I groggily groan. He barges into Mimi's room, of course he doesn't listen to me.

"Get up sleeping beauty, you have a photo shoot in like an hour" he retorts pulling at my pink sheets. "Tai" I groan, it was way to early for him to being acting like… I jump out of bed as soon as his words sink in my head "What!" I exclaim and I turn to look at his bitter face.

"An hour and counting Mimi" he answers me back and quickly turns to my closet. I quickly run to my washroom "I'm never going to make it on time! Oh my Gosh I'll be late Tai! I'm never late" I drown in sorrow. "Oh god those poor people who had to wake up soooo early and I'm going to be late" I drown in despair.

"Quit you're crying and hurry up" I frown at Tai's answer. He's never this grumpy only when he doesn't eat or sleep well. "you're not helping the cause either Tai!" I yell at him as I take my tooth-brush and take a hold of my Disney princess toothpaste.

"You should have woken me up earlier Tai!" I stick my tooth-brush and begin to brush as fast and as properly as I can. I can hear him laughs "I'm not your father Mimi" I rinse out my mouth and stick my head out of the washroom

"obviously you're not my daddy, you're more like my older brother" I stick my tongue out playfully at him, his warm chocolate eyes light up and he smiles at me. He throws me a strapless pink dress and I mange to stumble but catch it nevertheless.

"Thank God I'm not your father, imagine? I'll probably have green hair instead of grey ones from all the stress you give me" I pout at him "meanie" I go back inside the washroom and strip down and picky put on the dress.

"and you don't have grey hairs Tai" I yell from inside the washroom. I look at the mirror and thankful I don't have to do to my hair or do my make-up. "Not yet! but I will soon" he answers me. Suddenly my stomach starts to growl, I look down at it and frown

"Tai, I'm hungry" I walk out of the washroom and walk to my bed and rest on it "What are you doing let's go! You can eat at the photo shoot" he pulls me by my hand and I'm at my feet. Him of all people should know how important it is to eat. We run out my bedroom and I manage to grab my purse off the counter while Tai rushes me to the door, he opens the door and doesn't let me pick up my heels.

"Wait Tai! at least let me put on shoes Geez" he looks down and finds me shoeless. he is surprised by his own tardiness, I bend down pulling my dress so it doesn't rise up and look up at him. He has his famous goofy smile tugging at his lips "sorry" he says softly. I giggle.

"Oh, Tai what am I going to do with you?" I have a small smile begin to form. He laughs at my statement while I slip on one of my heels "Its more like what are you going to do without me eh?" We both laugh at this for a moment while he reached out his hand to help me stand up.

"Heels? Really Meems when your late?" I nod "Yup, if I'm going to be late then I want to be fashionably late at least" I smile to him and he burst into laughter while holding out the door for me "right because that's what matters whether you look good or not?" I look at him frowning "of course it matters" I tell him pulling out my ray bans out from my purse.

"Have I taught you nothing of the fashion world? Geez Tai when will you ever learn?" I ask with a tint of disappointment.

"Sorry Meems, but I'm your manager not your intern" he laughs as we make our way down the building and to the photo shoot.

As we walk out of the building and to the car my eye catches a glimpse of a blonde head and I snap my neck as a reflex to it and turn around. I look around the parking lot for the blonde as my heart starts to accelerate with each passing second. I quickly find the replica. Oh my God, I thought that was him I think to myself, as I pull my hand to my heart to feel my heart rate drop and become normal once again.

"Whats wrong?" Tai asks me "oh I thought I saw someone I knew" I quickly tell him trying to dismiss it with a waving hand indicating its not important, I didn't want to tell Tai that I thought it was him, he would probably get mad at me and I wouldn't blame him either after everything I went through its ridiculous to get like this.

"Oh" he says as he opens the car door for me and I step in and he begins to drive off. I wonder how Yamato is? I sigh in disappointment at my sudden question. What do I care? I bite my lower lip but I still do even if it is a tinny tiny bit I still care. I look out the window and unusually I don't tease Tai at all or even utter a word.

"What's wrong Meems?" he caught on quickly but then again it was pretty obviously that something is wrong when I'm quiet. it's a rare sight. "Nothing just thinking" I try to hold in my sigh and to my success it stays. I look back at him "hunger I guess" he faintly smiles "liar" I bite my lower lip and look down at my hands "sorry" I fiddle with my nails trying to chip my pink nail polish.

"you know I saw that blonde guy in the parking lot" he takes his eyes off the road and turns to look at me for a second, I instantly look up at him my eyes slightly wide and fill with embarrassment. " and i know you though it was Yamato" suddenly I feel my face become consumed by a tint of rosy red blush making its way to my cheeks.

"You know I don't get it, why you still like him" there is a slight annoyance in his voice but it's still calm and sweet, filled with concern he sighs "and here I thought you were over him" I look back at my hands as I fold them neatly on my lap. I decide to give up and fess up. "I am, swear!" I exclaim desperately looking up at him

"it's just that sometimes I don't know?" I return my eyes to my hands ashamed of myself. I desperately try to explain to him my mixed emotions or convince him, but he doesn't say anything he just keeps his eyes on the road "I haven't thought about him in so long but it's just that well you know, his birthday is coming up" he sighs in annoyance and his nose flares up.

I was waiting for that reaction, he had been way to patient with the situation I was beginning to worry. "but it really did look like him though I'll give you that" he calms down oddly enough and offers me a weak but reassuring grin. I smile and I can tell he caught from the corner of his eye.

"I know right? But then I saw that guy and I was like Oh My Gosh! he would never be caught wearing that!" At this Tai smiles "Oh my gosh you caught that too? I though I was the only one?" he mimics horribly me with a high pitch voice.

"I do not sound like that Tai" I grin at him with a glare. He cocks an eye brow at me. "You totally do doll" he does it again. With this we both end up bursting of laughter while he drives. my stomach growls again like a loin roaring when hungry.

"Tai…" I call his name lovingly.

"what do you want Mimi?" I'm astonished by his question and I pout at this.

"Oh don't act all shocked" he says with a grin "you always want something when you call me like that" I gasp dramatically "I do not" I retort back at him but he only laughs "like I said what do want Meems?" I pout at him once again and my cheeks puff up.

"Mimi" he calls my name out with a smile and pinches my cheek. My stomach once again growl this time stronger than before, I feel utter defeat.

"I'm hungry" I answered him. His face instantly brighten up and bares a shining smile "Don't say it" I warned him as I pull my cheek out of his grasp and pout again. The car is instantly filled with his booming laughter "don't even say a word Tai" I cross my arms fighting back his contagious laughter while he makes a turn to the nearest drive-threw of Starbuck.
