Track 4.5 The Knight and his Princess
God, I thought Mimi is suppose to be light, but she isn't and my legs are on fire. Light as a feather, light as a damn feather, she is light like a damn feather. Didn't they say if you add a bunch of feathers, they are very heavy? I remember reading something like that.
Dammit, I can feel the burning I should ask her to go on a diet? God what was I thinking (I think it's the pain talking?) if I do that she will surely kill me if I mention the "D" word. If I think about it asking her that would result in world war 3 and I'm not down for that. I would lose and Kari would probably side with her. That's 2 against 1. If I know anything about women or specifically speaking Mimi, which I do, is that, the topic of "weight" is a no man land and is asking for unnecessary stress and trouble. A solution to this might be to get Mimi to come with me on my morning jogs? No she would never wake up for that maybe afternoon run? That's more plausible, actually Mimi running is far from happening, it's more like wishful thinking. Women there are so troublesome, especially Mimi.
Look at me now; I'm carrying her up the damn stairs! In a suit! All because her highness slept in, and then decided to play hide-and-go-seek! I'm like her stupid dependable knight saving her whenever she's in trouble, when did I sign up for this? To be Mimi's lifesaver? Geez Mimi will be the death of me, not even my little sister gives me this kind of stress. I sigh what was I thinking? She's my friend, no best friend no scratch that like a little sister, she's family and family stick together no matter what…not matter what, even if she will be the death of me.
I look down at Mimi and I can tell she's thinking about something hard and I wonder what it might be, is it Matt? Is it her feet or maybe she's thinking about shoes or make-up? I hope the latter, for my sake and hers. My breath hitches with each step I take. Beats of sweat fall down my face but I ignore it. Forget about the pain forget about the pain. I recite to myself as I continue to run with Mimi in my arms. Just think Tai, think about anything.
If think about it, I was being a total dick to Mimi today, and for no reason. Learning that Matt was in the building totally killed my day not to mention Mimi being late. Total buzz killer. Whatever. Next topic, gotta keep thinking or else I'll start to feel it again. I hope this makes up for making Mimi run. Hope she doesn't hold it against me…for too long.
Geez I'm slowing down, I gotta run faster or else she will be really late. I fix my grip on her, holding her better and I try to pick up my speed, not that its much of a difference but I try, for her sake. Shit I'm struggling now and I grunt as we grow closer to the door, I let out a soft pant and I know she can hear it. I kick up using up all my strength to get to the door fast, I'm close to the taunting door and I swear I feel the doorknob in my hand. I bite my lips hard and when I feel the cold doorknob, I feel this immense release, like weight lifted off me.
Wait! Weight is being lifted off me. I laugh as Mimi looks at me "you ok Tai? I think that little run made you crazy" she ask me concern. "I'm fine hurry and run! You're already late!" she is stun by the sudden realization that she is late. I throw her, her shoes and she manages to catch them. "thanks for the ride" she says and dashes away bare foot. I laugh, at the sudden image of Mimi running. I realized how boring my life would be if Mimi wasn't in it, I realize that my life revolves around Mimi. Gosh, I need a new life, a life that isn't Mimi. I smile watching her disappear.
