Crush or Love?2 : Regrets and Memories
Chapter 5: Sally
A couple of weeks later, Sora and Kairi hung out a lot more. They had declared that they would be doing something tgether every Thursday. They were both regaining that shining smile that used to be plastered on theirs faces. Of course, it lead to less worrying for their friends.
Sora's POV
Great! It's Thursday again! I have to get to Kairi's house. I was walking from school with my cousin Roxas, Tidus and Mike. We're always walking together after school. The girls walk on the opposite street. Roxas nudged me, winking, and I knew what he meant, so I just rolled my eyes.
"Mister here, has a date with Kairi tonight!" Roxas exclaimed loud enough to get the other guys' attention and giggling from the girls. I felt myself blush red as a tomato. Mike tapped me on the shoulder. "You're really lucky. She breaks up with you, you get back together, then you break up with her and you still have a chance with her." Mike spoke flashing his pearly whites.
"Yeah! I say it's destiny!" Tidus said which totally surprised me coming from him."Destiny?" I asked while the others tried to figure out how Tidus got so smart suddenly. Usually, he's all about candy and Selphie.
"Sora, don't you see? No matter what happens between you and Kairi, you guys end up together. Your future is with Kairi." Tidus finished which I blinked a couple of times, trying to think about what he had just explained to me. Who'd ever thought Tidus could be so..ah never mind.
"So what are you two lovebirds planning?" Roxas asked. I quickly replied to him. "I'm taking her to the beach. I got something prepared." The guys smirked and I just rolled my eyes again.
"If I was a girl, I'd totally date you! You're sexy, cute, sweet and romantic." Roxas added. Upon hearing those words, I just let out a nervous laugh hearing Tidus and Mike snicker. Roxas just stood dumbfounded.
"You know Roxas, first if you'd be a girl, you'd still be my cousin, and second, that was way awkward cuz!" I managed to say before laughing like an idiot at my cousin. Tidus and Mike joined in, my laughing at Roxas. He got frustrated and left walking ahead of us, mumbling about how stupid and immature we were.
--------------------------------
NORMAL POV
Namine, Kairi and Vanessa were walking as always,opposite of the guys. They stopped when they heard the guys laughing and Roxas ahead of them. They understood that they were laughing at Roxas.
"So immature, yet they are sexy." Vanessa said after sighing. Namine turned her head in direction of Vanessa, raising an eyebrow.
"You're saying you're leaving Dave?" she asked knowing perfectly that Vanessa and Dave weren't a couple.
"We're not going out!" her friend exclaimed grabbing Namine by her shoulders and shaking her. Kairi laughed at the whole situation.
"You guys are taking it slowly?" Kairi managed to ask.
"Yeah, we think making it happen too quickly, may end it really fast." Vanessa explained letting go of Namine's shoulders, who felt dizzy after being shaken all up.
"You're right, maybe Sora and I shouldn't have started that quickly. But I was so happy that he liked me back that I immediately accepted because he had just kissed me! And God is he a good kisser!" Kairi opened up making Namine and Vanessa smile.
"Wait til' I tell Sora, you just said he was a good kisser!" Namine exclaimed giving Vanessa an idea. She crossed the street to meet up with the guys still laughing.
"Hey V, what's up?" Mike greeted whilst Sora and Tidus just shrugged.
"Wow, I haven't seen Sora in such a good mood for so long!" she exclaimed looking at Sora's big grin attached to his sun tanned face.
"What can I say? I'm just really happy!" Sora replied.
"So what brings you here?" Tidus asked budging in the conversation.
"Well guess what Kairi just told us?" Vanessa asked making the guys scratch their heads for ideas.
"Kairi's pregnant?" Mike asked and Vanessa just shook her head.
"Kairi just found a treasure chest full of candies!" Tidus asked dreaming of a thousand sweets he could eat.
"That I'm the sexiest guy on Earth?" Sora asked making an impression. Vanessa shook her head twice.
"It does have to do with you, Sora." Vanessa started making Sora smirk.
"Well say it!" he gushed.
"She said in her own words.'And god is he a good kisser!'." Vanessa said leaving Tidus disappointed, Mike smirking and Sora wide-eyed. He soon just smirked.
"Ah, I knew it! That's why all the ladies are after me." Sora said lifting his eyebrows twice.
"You better not steal my Selphie!" Tidus defended whilst Mike rolled his eyes. Meanwhile, Kairi and Namine were shouting like crazy at Vanessa and receiving weird looks from passing car drivers.
"So Selphie belongs to you?" Sora inquired.
"Yeah! She's mine and I'm hers." Tidus yelled.
"Sure. Anyway, let's get moving!" Mike ordered them since they had stopped walking after Vanessa came.
"Okay guys, later!" Vanessa spoke Sora grabbed her by the wrist.
"Wait! Tell Kairi to meet me at the beach in four hours, and if she asks why I'm not picking her up, don't bother answering." Sora told Vanessa before she left joining the girls. When Vanessa came back, Kairi was ready to attack her while Namine would be enjoying that. Kairi sustained herself leaving Namine sighing.
"I told him!" Vanessa smirked making Kairi glare. Kairi's eyes were turning red to Namine's hallucination.
"Vanessa!!!" Kairi hissed clenching her fist. Vanessa took a step back, hands in front of her.
"He told me for you, to meet him at the beach in four hours." Vanessa blurted out. "He did?" Kairi asked having Vanessa nodding. Soon Kairi calmed down letting out a breath.
"I'm sorry if I almost attacked you." Kairi apologized.
"You're lucky Vanessa, when she attacks well you don't even want to know what's left of you after." Namine joked. Having Vanessa reassured, she invited them to a drink.
"Not sure if I should go.." Kairi started.
"Aw come on! You still have plenty of hours to prepare for your date!" Vanessa pleaded.
"It's not a date!" Kairi said.
"Kairi, you of all of us, know it's a date. I mean, look at the boy's face. He's got that sexy and sweet smile back on since you guys have been doing stuff together every Thursday." Namine said. Kairi stood there thinking and realizing Namine was right. Kairi was the one who brought the happiness in Sora.
"No, I'm sure it's something else that has him happy." Kairi lied knowing the truth.
"Sure another girl." Vanessa mumbled then shrugged how hopeless Kairi was.
"Yeah, he's seeing another girl. We didn't want to tell you but the truth's out." Namine blurted having Vanessa mouthing her about what she was talking about. Namine winked.
"Another girl?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah, we were just trying to hide her about Sora's happiness and saying you were the one who brought it to him." Vanessa explained while Namine just nodded.
"So, are we going or not?" Namine asked.
"I'm not sure anymore." Kairi said softly bending her head down.
"Kairi! Don't tell me you won't show up to your date just because of that other girl we just told you." Vanessa said.
"You're not supposed to know about that other...girl."
"What 's her name?" Kairi asked.
"Umm...I think it was..uh..Roxy." Namine tried to find a name.
"No it's not! It's um..Sally!" Vanessa exclaimed having found a better name then Namine.
"Sally? Isn't she in Sora's French class?" Kairi asked.
"Uh..yeah! I think so!" Namine knew that would just create conflicts but it was because Kairi didn't get that she was making Sora happy for now.
"I think I'm going to go." Kairi said rushing to her house. Namine and Vanessa stood there.
"We're awful, aren't we?" Namine asked.
"Yeah. Kairi doesn't deserve that but she's so.."
"Naive to Sora's feelings." Namine finished her friend's sentence.
"Yeah.." Vanessa said softly.
"We should tell this to Sora." the blue eyed girl said.
"You're right!"
"Let's go to Sora's house." both blondes said at the same time. They ran a little until getting in front of Sora's house. Knocking the door, Namine sighed. The door opened to reveal a woman in her forties. She had the same color hair than Sora but she had light blue eyes compared to Sora's ocean blue eyes.
"Oh Hi girls! Who did you want to see?" Sora's mom asked.
"Sora." Both girls said.
"Okay, I'll call him right down. You can come in!" she said closing the door behind Vanessa and Namine. His mom led them to a couch in the living room.
"Do you want something to drink?" Sora's mom asked. They shook their head. "Sora!!! Company!" His mom yelled. Immediately, Sora came down the stairs followed by his curious cousin, who was now not mad at Sora.
"Hey girls!" Sora greeted.
"Hey Sora!" Vanessa and Namine said. Then a cough was heard.
"And Roxas!" Namine added.
"So what brings you here? I just came home a few minutes ago." Sora said. Vanessa nudged Namine to explain what happened. "You guys seem like something's wrong."
"It's just, you're so happy now Sora, but we think me may have ruined that." Namine started to explain. It got Sora's attention so he sat on another couch.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Well you know, after Vanessa told you about Kairi saying you were a good kisser, we had a conversation."
"Yeah, Kairi got mad at me but then we got her calm and we had to bring you again in the conversation."
"Af first, we were just inviting her to a drink to my house, then she wasn't sure if she would go." Namine continued.
"Yeah, but then we told her she had still a lot of time to prepare for her date she just denied the date thing. We just started to get in her mind how she brought you happiness and that's why you've been in a good mood these days."
"I still don't get what's wrong." Roxas said sitting on the couch getting interested too.
"We haven't reached what's wrong."
"Anyway, we were so mad that she didn't realize she'd bring you happiness that we brought a story into this."Vanessa said.
"What kind of story?" Sora asked raising an eyebrow.
"A lie." Vanessa bent her head down expecting Sora's reaction.
"What kind of lie?" Sora started to get irritated.
"We told her you were seeing another girl and what he had just told her about her bringing your happiness was a lie." Namine explained.
"Yeah, we just couldn't believe how naive she was of your feelings. But we tried to make her understand that she still has to be there for you." Vanessa said.
"What can I say? I would have reacted the same way."
"You mean you're not mad at us?" Namine asked.
"Just a little but it's okay. Now, what's the girl's name?" Sora said.
"Sally." They both squirted.
"That's a beautiful name!" Sora said.
"Don't we know a Sally?" Roxas said.
"Yeah! In Sora's French class. Kairi thinks it's that Sally." Namine added.
"Gosh! She is so annoying. Why would I even like Sally?" Sora asked them. They all shrugged.
"Anyway, I say it's best you try to explain it for us. It's better if it comes out of you then us." Vanessa suggested.
"You're right. I'll explain it to her. It just makes me laugh how you guys could think of Sally for a name. Especially if it's girl's name I already know and that I think she's so annoying." Sora concluded.
"Okay then! We'll see you tomorrow! Give us the deeds!" Namine spoke.
"Bye! Vanessa said. They left leaving a laughing Roxas rolling on the gray carpet of their living room. Sora just looked at him and mumbled how stupid and immature his cousin was even though that's what Roxas had thought of him a while ago.
-----------------------------------
Kairi sat on her bed watching the exterior by her window. The sun was starting to set. It was already time for her friendly date with Sora. She tought about Sally and wondered if she should go. Her conclusion came to a yes. She wanted answers from Sora and that was her chance. Kairi put on the pink tank top Sora had given her during the summer underneath a black vest since it was getting chilly outside. Putting on her jean shorts, she grabbed her keys then left walking to the beach.
Arriving at the beach, Kairi found two long chairs sitting beside each other, surrounded by lit candles, it gave a romantic atmosphere. The sun was starting to set. She squealed saying how cute it was. Sora was nowhere to be found. She walked a little, feeling the sand in her toes. She had pink flip flops. She came to a stop when she felt two hands lay on her shoulders. She turned around to come face to face to Sora's blue orbs and spiky hair. She felt his breath on her face making her blush. Sora took one of his hands off her shoulder and cupped her face, caressing softly her face with his thumb.
"Wow." was all Kairi could say. She'd never think Sora could be like that. She had gotten so many surprises. They had started talking again at the restaurant he was working at, then he had acted so sweet with her at Christina's birthday party and he had come to her house dressed in Cinderella's Prince kneeling and asking for her to be his Cinderella. but still, she hadn't had the answer to but. She wanted to ask, but wasn't ready. She feared what the answer was.
"I'm happy you came." Sora whispered. Every time he talked or breathed she felt his warm breath coming upon her face. She wasn't sure what to say. It was a perfect moment to jump on him and kiss him but she just smiled. His eyes just concentrated on hers. He had fallen in love with those eyes. Her eyes. He found himself leaning in closer but she turned her face away. She had questions to ask. She wanted answers. He leaned back and looked down. Kairi saw the sadness in his eyes but they had happiness because he was with her.
"It's about SAlly, is it?" Sora whispered asking.
"How?" Kairi asked. Sora knew he had to tell her the truth. He didn't want to hurt her more than he had already.
"Look Kairi, you need to know this." Sora started.
"Yes I do."
"Come and take a seat." Sora took her hand and led her to the long chairs. Both sitting on the chairs Sora started to explain. "You may find it funny, but the Sally Namine and Vanessa told you about doesn't exist."
"But she's in your French class." Kairi said making Sora smile.
"Yeah, but who said there was a Sally in my French class before Vanessa and Namine knew about that Sally?" Sora asked making Kairi realize.
"I did..." Sora nodded. He took both of her hands in his.
"Look, they had started that story because you were oblivious to my feelings. Why do you think I'm happy these couple of days?" Sora asked this time.
"I..don't..know." Kairi replied.
"Are you sure?" Sora raised an eyebrow. " You can tell me if you know."
"Okay I'm the reason why. I just didn't want to admit it because I have just realized that today." Kairi blurted out and confessed. " You have been so surprising, but who would want another broken heart?" Kairi said.
"That's why I said to you before that even though I want to be with you, I'm just not ready to break your heart again. Look at how it made me. Roxas kept telling me to cheer up, to listen to my heart. The guys were always worrying about me and so did the girls, especially Namine. She's been real close to me these days. And who thought Vanessa could be close too though we just met her at the end of the summer. We have friends who care about us. Why waste it now? We have all we need, we don't need to be together to necessarily be happy. Just being your friend means a lot to me, you're a very sweet and beautiful girl. And I don't want to lose that. Not now at least, because..I need you. We all need each other to complete ourselves." Sora explained. Kairi just sat there hearing his words. His explanations. His view of the reality and all that he has right now.
"Gosh Sora, you really have changed. I mean, in a better way." Kairi said.
"Thanks. And there's nothing wrong with you, Kai. Don't try to change. You're perfect the way you are." Sora said. Kairi hugged Sora burying her face in his chest. Sora folded his arms around her and closed his eyes.
Sorafanluver: Well that was another chapter. No! No kiss!! haha I'm evil.
