Deception

"When are you coming home?"

Tai asked on the phone with a smile as he walked back and forth in his apartment. He was wearing a simple blue shirt with brown shorts along with white socks.

"I know I said it will only take three days, but my boss had a very important intervention coming up by the end of the week. So I'm guessing around next week, I'll be back home"

Gloria said on the other line. She was Tai's girlfriend. They both live together but Gloria mostly travels for her work while Tai works in the city of Odiaba.

"I miss you"

"I miss you too"

"Would you come back if I say pretty please with a cherry on top?"

He asked with a grin as he heard laughing on the other line.

"Taaii, come on you know this job is important and your important to me too"

"It sure doesn't feel like it"

Gloria let out a sigh as she smiled.

"How about I make it up to you"

"How exactly?"

"I can get a whole month off"

"Really?"

"Yes really, my boss said that I work too hard and that I deserve at least one month off for break, but I never actually used my hours off so it added to a month"

"That sounds perfect"

"Great. Well I have to start heading off to bed for I could have a fresh start tomorrow with some paper work that needs to be finish"

"Oh. Okay then. Goodnight, I love you"

"I love you too babe, goodnight"

She said as she hanged up. Tai let out a deep sigh as he hanged up his phone.

'Just a few more days'

He thought to himself as he made his way to the kitchen. He open the cupboard and grabbed a cup. He then opened up the refrigerator and took out a gallon of juice, before he can pour some in his cup, the door bell ring. Tai frown as he looked at the time in his watch.

'Strange, who would be knocking at this time of night?'

He asked himself as he made his way to the front door and opened to it to reveal Sora.

"Hi Tai"

She said with a bright smile. Tai smiled in return.

"Hey Sora, what brings you here?"

He asked as he let her in. Sora smiled as she entered the apartment and took a look around before facing towards Tai who closed the door.

"Actually, I'm here for to help you"

Tai frown as raised his eyebrow in confusion.

"Help on 'what' exactly?"

He asked.

"Well, you told me that Gloria won't be here for at least a couple of days. I thought she would be back by now?"

She asked. Tai sadly smiled.

"She won't be back until next week actually"

"Oh I'm sorry"

She said sincerely.

'Goodie for me'

She thought.

"It's okay"

Tai said in reassurance.

"Well the good thing is that I came in the neck of time. Have you eaten already?"

She asked as she made her way to the kitchen. Tai slowly followed her as he laugh nervously scratching the back of his head.

"Well I am eating"

"Like?"

"Chinese take out, frozen pizza, microwave food"

"Oh Tai, that's not healthy for you. How about I make you something to eat?"

"Sora, you don't have to..."

"Oh I insist."

She said as she open the refrigerator taking out some ingredients that she will be using.

"So, how's Matt?"

Tai asked casually as he leaned against the counter. Sora froze and turn around facing her back to him.

"He's fine. We're fine"

She said quietly. Tai frown slightly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, now you go and sit down and relax and let me take care of things"

Tai looked at her skeptical

"Are you sure?"

"Yes now go"

She said pushing him out of the kitchen. Once Tai was out of sight, Sora smirk evilly as she took out a package of powder in her purse. She poured the juice into the cup and poured the powder inside. She mixed it up with the spoon until the sleeping powder dissolve into the drink.

'Now this will stir things up a bit'

She thought as she grabbed the cup and headed to the living room where Tai was sitting.

"Here you go Tai, a nice orange juice before I get started on cooking"

Tai smiled gratefully.

"Thanks"

He said as he grabbed the cup and drink half the juice but Sora frown and quickly covered it up with a smile.

"Why don't you finish the drink for I can take it back"

She suggested. Tai smiled with a nod as he gulp up the last ounce of juice.

"Thanks"

Sora's smile widen.

"No, thank you"

She said as she slowly walked away with the cup in her hand. In less than 15 minutes Tai stood up from the couch drowsy and called out to Sora who was in the kitchen.

"Hey Sora"

"Yes"

She said as she stepped out of the kitchen.

"I'm gonna head to bed, I'm not feeling so good"

He said as he held his head with his hand and took a step forward but almost lost his footing but Sora quickly helped him up on his feet.

"Come on, let's get you to bed"

She said as she helped him to his room. Once inside, Tai laid flat on his back as he tried to keep his eyes open.

"S-Sora, what did y-you put in the..."

He began to say trailing off but soon fell into a deep sleep. Sora smirk as she closed the bedroom door and walked up closer to the bed.

"You should have been with me Tai, but desperate times calls for desperate measure"

She said with a grin as she began to remove her clothes and Tai's clothes.

'He's so handsome'

She thought with a blush on her face as she crawled into bed hovering on top of Tai.

'This is the way how things are and are meant to be'
