Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

A/N: I know, I know. Odd pairing. If you aren't all right with Joey/Tèa pairing, DON'T read and DON'T flame! Also, Joey and Tristen are housemates. I don't know how, and I don't care how. "How" does not mater. Make something up. You're intelligent.

Tèa Gardner paced the distance of her room a few more times, all the while staring at the phone on her dresser table. It shouldn't take Joey this long to call three people she thought to herself. Joey was calling Bakura, Tristen, and Yugi to decide on a meeting place for their study group. Normally they met at the local ice cream shop to study, but the last time they did, Joey got them all kicked out by standing on the table and doing his impression of a seagull. Tèa couldn't help but smile at the memory of that one. The picture of Joey standing on a table, flapping his arms as if they were wings, and cawing his head off never failed to draw a tiny laugh from her throat. It was very hard to squelch the laugh in a particularly boring class when she would think of anything to get her mind off the lecture, but if she didn't. Tèa's musings were interrupted by the loud and insistent ringing of the telephone. "Bring, bring! Bring, bring!"((A/N: I know that is a crappy sound for a telephone. Oh well.)) Tèa leapt for the phone, thinking briefly about why she was so anxious for Joey to call, but before she could finish her mental speech, she was caught up in talking. "Hello?" she said. "Hiya, Tèa!" came the response from the other end of the phone. "Joey! Hi!" she replied, mentally kicking herself for not keeping the eagerness out of her voice. It's just a little crush she told herself. I had one on Yugi, and I had one on Yami. It will pass. "So, where are we going to meet?" "Actually, if you wouldn't mind, we were thinking of coming over to your place. Is that okay with you?" came his response. "Oh, sure! My parents are off on a vacation to America, so that will be perfect!" "All right. I'll see you in a few, then. 'Bye!" "'Bye." She said, sighing as the other end of the line went dead. Only a crush she kept telling herself. It's only a crush. Right?
