JUST MAI CHAPTER 1: Stuff to do
"C'mon, c'mon man, it's just Mai for Ra's sake. I can do this, yeah, I can," there was a pause, "I can't do this ," Joey turned around.
"Oi! Wheeler!" Mai's smooth voice cut through the air.
"Er, Mai," Joey started to turn back around, "hi," he said facing her.
The sunlight lit her features up, casting a brilliant sheen upon her skin, making her look all the more beautiful than she already was.
What did Joey find so hard about asking her one measly little question? He had known her for a while now and found talking to her easy, that is if they weren't arguing or something. Come to think of it, he argued with her quite easily too.
"So, Wheeler, where's the rest of the gang?" Mai questioned Joey, she was suprised he wasn't with his dwarf friend, Yugi and everyone else.
"Um.." where were they actually? He thought to himself. Oh yeah, he had lost them when he spotted a gatsby stand owned by some Asian guy, what was that place called again? He looked behind him at the stand, Kumar's Greycastle, yes that was it. He had then seen Mai, gorgeous Mai standing all alone by the railings looking out onto the sparkling blue-green ocean water.
"Grrrr," Joey realised that his stomach was rumbling.
"Joey," Mai said, "you're hungry. Want to get something to eat"
Was Mai asking him out? Impossible. She doesn't like me. She was just stating the obvious. Oh well, at least he could get something to eat.
-----
They went to a reasonable priced restaurant by the railings that was overlooking the sea aswell.
And talked, and talked. Every now and then Joey would emit a sad sigh and Mai would wonder what the matter was, she hoped it wasn't her. His coffee eyes looked so sad that Mai just wanted to hug him to make him feel better, but she didn't want to do any thing that might give other people the wrong idea, instead, she resorted to saying, "Joey, look at me,"Joey looked up from staring at his empty plate, "What's wrong?" she asked him.
If only he could say how he wished they were going out, if only he could say how beautiful he thought she was, if only he could say how her purplish-blue eyes awed him, if only he could say how he wanted to kiss her right there and then. But he couldn't. He couldn't say any of that, he could only get lost in her stunning eyes once again.
"Nothing," he mumbled, but Mai knew him better.
Oh! Those eyes, Mai thought, now she was getting lost in Joey's eyes and there was an awkward silence, Joey sensed something with Mai and then, their lips brushed slightly as though they were going to kiss, "Ahem," Mai said suddenly, "I've, er, got to, er, do some stuff." What! Mai thought to herself - do some stuff! What a terrible excuse!
"Yeah," Joey replied, "I've also got to do stuff, er, homework stuff." Holy! He could not believe he just said that, it was the holidays! They took one more quick, awkward look at each other, put some money on the table and left.
A/n: for those who don't know, a gatsby is a roll filled with chips, steak e.t.c
