Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Love Blooms ❯ Chapter 5

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Blooms (5)

Mimi raced down the flights of stairs from her house her vision being slightly blurred by her tears. What’s got in to you Mim’s? She though to herself as she stopped at the bottom of the steps. What’s the big deal, Slowly wandering towards a nearby fountain her mind was deep in thought, sure! I mean of course I should have expected this...I mean he's got looks, humor...talent...he was bound to easily get a girlfriend! So why does it... a frown formed on her face... bother me?

A vision of Matt's girlfriend floated tauntingly in front of her. Her clear emerald eyes, raven black hair, and rosy colored cheeks had somehow made an effect towards Mimi. She had to admit the girl was pretty, too sickly pretty. What was her name..? Mimi tried hard to recollect Matt’s words. Mimi slowly muttered names, trying to get the right one.
“Amanda? Annie...um...Ann?”

“Amy.” A voice interjected her thoughts. Startled, she whirls away from the fountain surprised even more to see Matts face only a few inches away from her.

“Matt I-”

“Mimi I-” they both said at the same time.

Laughing slightly, the two look away as they try to find words to tell each other.

“So...” Mimi slowly spoke as she cautiously glanced up to him, “Amy, huh?”

Matt nodded. “Shes a nice girl Mim’s you’ll like her.”

I already don't, ridding that thought from her mind, she faintly smiles.

“I'm sure she’s nice.”

Matt nodded not knowing whether to believe her or not. He wasn't sure why but it had bothered him a lot when Mimi hurriedly left his company during the party. You aren’t jealous are you Mims? He questioned in his head. It was tempting to ask her but he didn't want her to laugh about such an important question.

Wanting to change the topic, Mimi flashes him a bright smile, “So, Mr. Rock Star! Why don't you play something for me?”

“Heh, sure, if you sing.”

“What?” Mimi let out a gasp as she saw the secret smile on his face.

“Come on, I've heard you sing before. You've got something going for you so why not practice?” He sits himself on the edge of the fountain propping his guitar on his lap.

Mimi felt ill as she watched Matt tune his guitar. “I don't know about this Matt...”

“Hey,” having eye contact with her, he gives her a reassuring smile, “no ones here to listen, it’s just you and me.”

You and me... Words that whirled through Mimis mind as the cool night’s air blew a gentle breeze through both of them.

“I don't think I-” She suddenly laughed as she watched Matt's pleading eyes that even she couldn't resist. Realizing that no harm can come from just singing a song. Mimi agrees though with still slight reluctance.

“Fine...I’ll start the song and-”

“I’ll try to catch the melody. Gotcha.” Matt butted in.

“All right...here goes nothing.” Softly humming, Mimi begins to sing the song that she had recently written...

Ever since I set my eyes on you...
I knew you were the one
That I’ve been waiting for...for so long

The strumming of a guitar began to fill the air as Mimi’s voice began to become clearer and sweeter.

So many times I've searched for love...so true
And now I've found you

Matt slowly lifted his gaze from his instrument to meet Mimi's eyes that held a certain longing in them. A longing that deep in Matt's heart knew, but a feeling his mind could not interpret.

I pray that you'd be mine...forever
Tell me do we stand a chance at all
Or will you be a memory
Living in my dreams... forever

Mimi's voice was perfectly altered to a higher note as her eyes closed, concentrating hard to keep the pitch.

Do we stand a chance at all...
I know that love and destiny
Will bring the two of us... together
Baby, what do you feel inside...
I.. Try to find an answer, when I look into your eyes
These feelings are so hard, to hide

Unintentionally, Matt stopped playing as his whole body stilled, listening intently to the words of the song.

Not realizing the music had ended; Mimi continues singing, her heart and mind deeply into it.

And when I look at you...
I feel my heart cry
Tell me do we stand a chance at all
Or will you be a- Mimi’s eyes fluttered open as she feels arms around her waist and Matt staring warmly into her eyes. She slightly gasps as the warmth of his touch sent a slight tingle through her skin.

Once again the feeling they had felt at the airport a few months ago returned as their hearts beat that familiar beat.

Mimi's breath was caught in her throat as she watches Matt slowly leaning forward, his azure eyes still watching hers. Her heart beats faster as his lips were only an inch away from hers.

But before a kiss could have been made, a rustle in the bushes quickly made the moment end. Matt hurriedly let his hold from her waist go as he turned to face the noise.
Amy stepped slowly through the bushes her eyebrow slightly arched as her gaze shifted curiously to Mimi, Matt, and back.

“Was I...interrupting something?”

Mimi whispered her thanks that it was nighttime so Amy could not see her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. However, Matt did not seem to have been affected by it.

“No.” He coolly answered as he walked to the fountain to collect his guitar. Turning, he smiles to Amy.

“Ready to go?”

Amy nodded, “mhm.”

Matt turns his head towards Mimi. “Thanks for letting me sing for your party Mims. I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?”

Nodding slowly, she watches as his eyes showed a sign of regret. Did he regret being caught? Or was it a bitter regret of ever doing that move? Whatever it was, it sure was enough to make Mimi think.

“Anytime Matt!" She casts a bright smile towards him, not wanting to show the confusion she was struggling with in her mind.

Matt quickly waves but as he turns, a hand quickly grasps his arm. He turns his head to see Amy flashing him a dazzling smile.

“Mattie,” she sweetly says, “why don't you go ahead and I’ll catch up okay? I wanna have a girl to girl chat with Mimi first, you know...’girl stuff’?” Not waiting for his reply she quickly gives him a kiss. “Thank you!”

Matt shrugs as he turns away to leave his mind slightly distracted. “Don't stay too long.”
As Matt's figure disappeared through the bushes out of their sight, an eerie silence fell between the girls.

A chill ran down Mimi's spine as Amy turned to face her. The sweet smile she had for Matt no longer there.

“What did you think you were doing?” She hissed angrily at a stunned Mimi.

Mimi's eyes slightly widened in surprise. “What?

“Don't what me, Mimi.” She quickly walks towards her, placing only a few feet of space between them. “I know you were trying to take him away, but let me warn you.” She jabs a finger on Mimi's chest, “Stay away from him or you'll wish you never met me.”

Angry sparks shot through Mimi's eyes as she shoves Amy's hand away.

“I should take that as a threat?” She icily replied. “Now let me warn you,” her anger getting the best of her, “try that ‘threat tone’ on me again and I’ll be sure to make your life from then on a living nightmare. So don't,” she casts a cold look on her, “ever try to threaten me. Ever.”

Turning around, Mimi heads back towards the party not wanting to wait for her reply. Anger and disgust whirled through her. How dare she! Mimi screamed in her mind, That little witch thinks she can try to frighten me with that?! Hmph, we’ll see about that.

It did not take long for Mimi to calm down; it was not in her nature to stay angry for a long span of time. Feeling better again, she tries to think of the highlights of the night. Remembering the moment she had alone with Matt, Mimi's lips slowly curved into a faint smile.

As she climbed up the steps to her house, the last phrases of the song she sang had drifted through her mind.

I know that love and destiny...
Will bring the two of us...
... Together.
