A/n: Okay okay so I haven’t written in awhile. So sorry, I was having this major writer’s block at this story. I guess it was just lagging on it seems so I didn't work on it. But then I started getting ideas for other Mimato stories. So I should just finish this and then I could start working on the others. I hope you enjoy. Tah tah for now!
Matt drummed his fingers distractedly on his table as he glanced at his phone for goodness knows how many times.

Just pick up the stupid phone and call. Call or not. Nah I don't need to call. I can handle it on my own. Call damnit. Pick the stupid phone up and dial! Fine!

This mind battle continued on for a few more minutes until he finally gave up and reached for the phone. He would call Tai finally for advice. He could have done this a long time ago but his stubbornness kept him from it. Until it was too late.

Punching the numbers on the phone his mind ran him through the words he’d tell Tai exactly. ‘Sup man, haven't talk to you in awhile. How’ve ya been? Good? Great! How have I been? Well I guess okay if you don't consider me breaking up with Amy and now being attracted to Mimi. Other than that everything is still crappy.

Sighing he places the phone beside his ear and listened as Tai’s phone rang once...twice...three times...

A feminine voice answered the phone her tone seeming so familiar to Matt.

“Hello?”

Raising a brow, Matt glances at his phone and listens once more.

“Sora?”

Silence fell, as the girl in the other line seemed to have lost her voice for a split second.

“Matt..?” A whispered voice replied.

Feeling like a total idiot, Matt slaps his hand lightly over his forehead. “Man I must be forgetting people’s numbers! I was trying to call Tai but I guess I dialed your-”

“This is Tai’s number.” Sora replied her voice seeming to sound stressed.

Matt was slowly twirling the seat he was sitting on but halted. “Oh...”

“I can get him for you...how are you by the way Matt?”

Sora and Tai? Man... This is what I get for not keeping in touch so often.

“I'm pretty good.” Matt casually replied as he watched himself talk from the mirror. “I suppose you and Tai are doing good as well?”

Sora sighed heavily, “Are you angry with me Yamato?”

“Of course not Sora...I hope I didn't sound like a jealous ex. I mean Tai’s lucky and all to have you. And I'm glad.” He envisioned Soras happy reaction to that.

“Thanks Matt..I was kind of worried you wouldn't think it right and..Well..Thanks. I‘ll go get Tai”

“Don't worry about it.” He slowly smiled and shook his head at the thought of Tai and Sora. Who knew...

A cautious voice came on the line and the relief swelled in Matt as he heard his friend’s voice once more. “Matt?”

“Hey man, how are yah?”

“Not bad just going on with life here in Odaiba and you know how exciting it gets here.”

Matt laughed lightly as he closed his eyes and reminisced the past when everything was great and he didn't have to worry about relationships of love. This will be the death of me no doubt.

“You okay there bud?”

Heck, he couldn't dally this on with Tai; he’s his best friend after all.

“It’s crap.”

“Well that sounds lovely.”

“And it’s all Mimi's fault.” Matt frowned as he rubbed a hand over his neck.

“Okay buddy, lets blame your problems on her.”

“Don't talk about her like that Tai. She’s great.” He muttered.

“But you just said-”

“Forget what I said, that was laps of insanity.”

“Okay...”

“It’s your fault Tai.”

A chuckle came from the other line. “Sure it’s my fault.”

“No its not you goggle head, where's your self-esteem?”

Tai shook his head. “Man you've got some mental problem. Why don't you just tell me what's up then I‘ll see who is to blame.”

Placing a hand over his eyes Matt sighed. “Amy and I split.”

“Ouch. Sorry Ishida.”

“Don’t be, I'm glad its over. Her chicken bickering was driving me up the wall.”

“Is she the problem?”

“Nah, I just wanted to tell you that before I continue on.” Running his hand through his hair, Matt gets off of his chair and starts to slowly pace his room. “Its Mimi...”

“Ah Mimi.” Tai slowly drawls out a whistle and suddenly stops as a loud thud was heard. “Ow Sora!! I was-ow!-I was kidding ow!!” More whacks and thuds were heard. “Gimme that pillow!!”

Matt rolled his eyes a smirk forming on his face.

A few seconds later peace was once again there. “Anyway...as you were saying?”

“Mimi. I don’t know Tai...I mean ever since that time I dated Amy, I haven’t seen Mimi or have talked to her. I see her at school and all but she barely says anything. It’s like she was avoiding Me..Or vice versa? I don't know.. But I miss talking to her.”

“Look Matt..It’s obvious right now that you somewhat like her and-”

“I don't like her.”

“You suck at lying did you know that?” Tai replied.

“I'm not lying-”

“There you go again. Liar.”

“Darn you Tai! I don't like Mimi! I don't like HER!!” Matt furiously replied.

A sound came from outside his door as Matt spun quickly around.

There standing was Mimi with a stricken face. “I..” Her voice seemed to falter as her eyes began to glisten...

Matt’s face formed into a worried look, “Mimi...”

Forcing a smile she quickly cast her glance down to the rug covered floor. “I’m sorry to be so much of a nuisance and annoying brat...I really tried to change.” Her voice suddenly cracked, as she could no longer hold her tears.

Spinning around she darts down the hallway and disappears from Matt's sight.
A sudden ache in Matt's heart began to swell unbearably as he stared at the spot where Mimi had stood only a minute or so ago.
Placing the phone once more against his ear, Matt mumbled words to Tai.

“I’ll call you later, bye.” He placed the phone back down and stared at it as he contemplated his next move.

“I suggest the lake.” A voice came from the door.

Matt didn't have to look to know it was Michael who suggested it.

“How would you know?”

“Its the closest place here and she never drives when she's upset plus,” he shrugs, “it’s where she always goes when she's upset or depressed. Something about it calms her down.”

Lifting his gaze away from the phone he gives Michael a thankful smile.
“Just be sincere to her Matt...that's all you have to do..”

As he walks pass Michael, he nods. “Thanks..”

“Anytime.”

The slow breeze swept through his hair as he shoves his hands into his jean pockets and walks on towards the lake. This is it... tell her how you feel... who knows when the next opportunity comes. I just hope she’d listen. He tilts his head back and looks to the heavenly skies above. May you give me the courage to say what I need to say and to help me sort this feeling through... let me be sincere.
