Tea stared at herself in the mirror intently. The girl's bathroom wasn't the best place she could think of to primp, but what was a girl to do? She smoothed down a couple renegade strands of hair with the palm of her hand.
"Why do I look so horrible today?" She asked herself outloud? She didn't even care if there were other people in the bathroom. He was going to be in her next class. The man she was sure she was head over heels in love with. Everytime she caught a glimpse of him her heart raced. His smile was dazzling, his style was impecable and his personality was amazing. He was strong, intelligent, kind, gentle and caring.
Ever since she laid eyes on him for the first time she was infatuated. He was the only one she saw, the only one she wanted. Why couldn't she just tell him how she felt? Why?
A soft voice broke her from her thoughts suddenly.
"Tea, you don't look horrible. Why do you always say that?" Tea smiled to herself before she looked over at the young woman standing at the sink next to her. It was Serenity's sweet voice she heard.
The brunette just shrugged her shoulders and looked back at the mirror. "I just feel so insecure before I see...him." She managed to say in a tiny voice.
Serenity just shook her head. "Tea, why don't you just say something to him?" She asked, obviously not understanding how her friend was feeling.
Tea shrugged her shoulders as she applied some powder to her face. "It's just not that simple Serentiy. What if I did say something to him and things got weird between us? I would much rather admire him from afar and just be freinds than have no relationship with him at all."
Serenity rolled her eyes playfully as she gathered her books. "Alright crazy, don't stay in here too long. I'll see you in class." She sauntered out of the bathroom.
Tea applied just a bit more make-up just below her eyes, obviously trying to hide the dark circles. 'Well, that's as good as it's going to get.' She thought to herself. With her foundation reapplied, her hair smooth and her uniform in tact, she left the bathroom feeling a tiny bit more confident.
Her eyes locked onto her chemistry classroom. She knew that once she rounded the corner she would see him. Her heart skipped a beat as she turned into the room.
There he was, looking more beautiful than ever, though she thought that everytime she looked at him. He had been talking to Joey, who sat at the desk in front of him.
Tea glanced at the back of the room where Serenity was gazing at her, a small smirk on her face. The brunette rolled her eyes as she took her seat next to Yami.
The young man, still listening to Joey, glanced over at her, flashing one of his signature smiles. He was so incredibly handsome. Joey ratlled on about some new duel monster cards he had just traded. Yami mouthed the word "Hello" to her. She just smiled in response.
Small chatters from some of the female students broke out very suddenly and Tea knew why. Her eyes moved to the classroom door and she saw him. None other than Seto Kaiba.
Kaiba didn't even pay attention to the girl's murmers and whispers. He never did. Of course he knew how popular he was with the femal student population, and not just their grade. He was worshipped at this school. Seto Kaiba was very indifferent though. He was too busy with work and school and being a complete jerk to notice.
Tea had had very little interaction with Kaiba the entire time she knew him. He was never interested in being friends with the gang. She was alright with this though.
A loud giggle rang out through the classroom followed by many smaller giggles. The young man had taken his seat in the second row. He set his textbook on top of his desk and brushed a few strands of hair out of his eyes.
Tea turned her attention from the teenage billionaire back to her teenage love interest. Yami was reading over a chapter in his chemistry book. Though he didn't need to be, he was a very good student. It was something she admired about him.
The teacher made her way into the room and didn't hesitate to hush the class. "Good morning everyone." She said in her usual cheery tone. Mrs. Ikshi was a small elderly woman. Her tiny frame was a bit hunched. Her gray hair was always pulled back into a tight bun with some sort or large bow to accent the style. She was sweet and smart, easily Tea's favorite teacher.
"Now listen up class, for the next week all classes will be dedicated to the project I'm going to be giving you." She told the students as she began to pass out some papers. "You will be making models of the molecules you get on your sheet of paper. Everyone will have a partner and that will be determined by who has the molecule that matches yours. When you find out who it is, get together with them and plan what you will be doing. I expect all classtime for the next week to be focused on these projects."
Tea hadn't looked at her paper yet. She had turned it over and said a small prayer before she would look.
"Which one did you get?" Joey asked Yami as he turned around in his seat.
"I got water." Was his simple reply. He then looked over at The brunette girl who was hoping with all of her heart that she had gotten water as well.
"What about you Tea?" He asked softly. His voice sent her reeling. She flipped her sheet and at that moment, her whole world seemed to collapse. She knew that the feeling was probably a little overdramatic, but she didn't care.
"I got sulfur." She responded, not even trying to hide the disappointment in her voice.
Yami shrugged, almost seeming a little discontent as well. His eyes then moved from Tea to behind her. The young woman turned her head to follow his eyes until she was face to face with none other than Seto Kaiba. He had moved to the desk next to her and was holding his sheet of paper up with a smirk on his face. "Sulfur?" He asked in his usual cold tone. She just nodded her head.
"Hey Tea, I'll see you later on in Calculus, alright?" She heard Yami ask as he stood from his seat. The young woman nodded as she watched him walk to the other side of the classroom.
This was definitely not what she had envisioned happening. Not only was she not able to work with the one person she wanted to in all the world, she was stuck working with a rich snob.
Kaiba caught her attention again. "Let's just research what we can in our books. Tonight I want you to come to my house so we can work on the model and finish this up. I need to use the spare classtime I have to work." They way he said it didn't seem like it left her with much of a choice.
"Alright." Was her short reply.
Classes seemed to drag by until finally, by the grace of God the bell rang. Tea rushed out of the building, knowing she had to hurry home to change clothing before heading to the Kaiba mansion.
Her father sat in the car waiting in the front of the school as he did everyday. She climbed into the passenger side, shoving her heavy backpack onto the floor.
"Hey sweetie. How was school?" Came her dad's cheerful greeting.
Tea's initial response was a shrug. "Well, it was school." She mumbled softly. "Hey dad, do you think after I change clothes at home you could drive me to Seto Kaiba's house?" She asked. Tea's father had never been big on his baby girl having a boyfriend. After her mother had passed away he had become a bit overprotective of the only family she had left.
Tea bit her lip as she watched her father think about this proposal.
"Why exactly are you going over there?" He questioned. She knew it was coming.
"Ummm, we got this project at school about molecules. We have to build one and explain what it is. He ended up being my partner. We just wanted to work on it together tonight to get a leg up on everyone else." She responded in a responsible tone.
Her father still didn't look convinced. "Tea, did your mother ever have 'the talk' with you?" He asked, obviously having no shame or boundaries with what he talked to his daughter about.
"Oh dad, please! I'm not interested in him at all! This is strictly a school thing." She exclaimed, sounding a bit disgusted by the conclusion he had come to. "Please just do this for me so I can get a good grade." She pleaded desperately.
"Fine." Was his reply. "But make sure you're home by ten, not later young lady." His tone was serious and concerned.
Tea nodded her head and then turned to look out the window. This was going to be a long night...
The brunetter girl stared at the huge doorway before her. Kaiba's mansion looked big from the street, but it was enormous up close. She reached out a finger to ring the doorbell, but stopped just short. Being here was the last place she wanted to be.
'That doesn't matter now Tea.' She said to herself. 'You have a project to work on, think of your grade.'
With her regained confidence she rang the doorbell, trying not to think about what she had just done.
It didn't take long for the door to open. She was face to face with a woman who seemed to be mid-age. Her graying hair was pulled into a low ponytail. She wore a black skirt which hit her knees and a white polo. Her stockings fell just shy of her knees showing a tiny bit of skin. She smiled politely at Tea.
"May I help you miss?" She asked in a sweet tone.
"It's for me Suki." A rough voice called from behind. Tea could recognize that voice anywhere. She watched as the woman he called Suki stepped aside and she was left with Kaiba standing before her. Shock overtook her as she stared at the sight. He was wearing a pair of fitted, dark jeans. Of course they didn't look like any old denim jeans, his looked expensive and stylish. A form-fitting black T-shirt completed the simple outfit. It was so foreign to see him in casual clothing. A huge contrast to the dress clothes or school uniform she usually saw him wearing.
"Come in." Kaiba told more than offered. She complied and followed him into the mansion.
"May I take your jacket ma'am?" Suki asked, her arm outstretched as if she was waiting for it even if Tea had said 'no'.
The brunette removed the small jacket and handed it to the housekeeper. She had always felt a little out of place around people with money, and this was just making her incredibly uncomfortable.
Kaiba stood just a few feet from the two women and was impatiently tapping his foot.
"Thanks." Tea replied shortly. Her gaze moved and then fell on Kaiba. He motioned with his head for her to follow him. She did and he led her up a long, winding staircase. Tea took this oppurtunity to study the mansion that many people have'nt seen and never would see. Seto Kaiba was very much not a social person. He didn't have any friends and frankly didn't wasnt them. Work and his brother were his life.
The young woman stared in awe at the decor. Elaborate art, modern furniture and hardwood flooring graced every room. The house was spotless, not surprising. Kaiba definitely didn't seem like the messy type.
She followed him into what seemed to be an office. A large desk sat against the far wallwhich housed a lapttop and a printer. Two large computer chairs floated around in the middle of the room, and a large work table was adjacent to the desk. She eyed the chemistry book and supplies and came to the conclusion that this is where they would be working.
"Go ahead and take a seat." Kaiba told her as he pointed at one of the chairs. "Do you want anything to drink? Water or juice or something?"
Tea shook her head as she seated herself in the surprisingly comfortable chair. "No thatnk you." She replied quietly, yet politely.
He nodded and sat in the chair next to her. "So I figured I woud just go ahead and buy the supplies. That way we can work on building the model and work on our short essay about sulfur. We should have this done in no time." He told her as he opened his textbook and pulled out a few sheets of paper.
"Sounds good to me." She replied as she pulled out her book and some notebook paper. "I'll go ahead and start on the essay part."
The pair sat in silence as they worked diligently. Every once in a while Tea would glance over at Kaiba. He just looked so different than he normally did. Not just in his dress, but he seemed more relaxed at home. Not as stiff.
The young man pushed some pesky strands of chestnut hair from his eyes. Tea's heart skipped a beat when he did this. But wait, why did that happen? She wasn't interested in Kaiba. Her eyes were strictly focused on Yami, like they had been for the past couple of years.
She shook off the feeling and got back to work, she couldn't be wasting time.
It wasn't long before Kaiba had stood from his seat and began stretching. A small moan escaped his lips as he reached his hands into the air almost as though he was trying to touch the ceiling.
"I'll be right back. Are you sure you don't need anything?" He asked again, eyeing the brunette girl.
"Oh...I guess-no...maybe...ugh, nevermind." She struggled over her words. 'Oh my God! What am I doing? I sound like an idiot!' She mentally scolded. Her eyes moved from the floor back up to Kaiba who was sporting his signature smirk.
"I'll bring you a bottle of water." He told her. As he exited the room Tea heard a small laugh escape his lips.
'Ugh? Why am I such an idiot?' She asked herself as she turned back to her textbook. And what was going on in her head. She had never thought about the great Seto Kaiba as dateable, yet here she was acting like one of the foolish girls in her classes. Was she secretly attracted to him and just didn't know it herself...or just not want to admit it?
'Just shut up and do your work.' She thought as she jotted down some notes. It was easier said than done though. Images of his sexy smirk and the way he pushed his shaggy hair out of his face kept popping into her head. Why was this happening now? It must have been some supressed sexual tension. She was a teenager after all, weren't her hormones supposed to be all crazy and raging at this age. That must be it. She just passed it off as normal teenage behavior.
Kaiba returned just a short time later with two bottles of water. "Here you go." He stated as he set the bottle down on the desk in front of her.
"Umm...thanks." She replied. A shiver shot down her spine when he got close to her. 'Just calm down.' She told herself.
Kaiba walked over to the desk where the computer sat. He bent down and typed something into the keyboard. She watched as he stood back up, his eyes still locked on the screen.
Tea stood, not feeling as if she was in crontrol of her own body. She slowly made her way over to where he was standing.
The young man reluctantly tore his eyes away from the screen to see what she was doing. What came next was a shock to him...and to Tea as well.
She stood up on the tips of her toes, placed both of her hands behind his head and pulled him in for a kiss.
What was she doing? Where was this coming from. Her mind raced and she tried to break free of the trance she was in, unfortunately her body was unable to. Her blood felt like molten lava coursing through her veins. His lips felt amazing against hers. Her brain was frantically telling her no, but her body longed for more.
Kaiba pulled away from the unexpected lip-lock after a few moments. Tea's blue eyes almost seemed to be burning into his. Her face held hints of embarassment and shame though.
"What are you doing?" He asked. His voice wasn't angry or even the cold she was so used to hearing. Instead he sounded as if he had been caught off guard.
The brunette girl's cheeks burned, she was obviously flustered. "I'm...oh my gosh...I'm so sorry." She managed to say in a quiet voice. "I have no idea what I was thinking."
Kaiba watched as she put one of her hands to her head, almost as if she was blocking her view of him.
'I'm so stupid.' She thought to herself. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid.' Anger and humiliation clouded her mind. All she could think about was the huge fool she had made of herself.
That is until she felt a pair of hands on her forearms. She put her hand down and looked up at the young man before her. His eyes were focused soley on hers. They were absent of the steely cold look they usually possesed and replaced by something else. Almost like...a hunger.
He turned her around and then gave her a slight shove backwards. Her back hit the wall which produced a loud thumping noise. Kaiba then moved toward her, his gaze almost dangerous. She almost felt as if she was prey being cornered and hunted.
It was not time before she felt those lips on her again. His kisses were harsh and held a desperation to them. Tea's thoughts and actions were very conflicted. She wanted so badly to push him off of her and run. run as far away as she could from the mansion. Her body said otherwise. She melted in his hands, vigorously kissing him back. Her skin burned for his touch.
Kaiba pulled back, his breathing was shallow and heavy. He ran a hand through his hair, his eyes never leaving the girl.
Tea wasn't sure what to do now. Maybe this would be a good time to make her exit. She contemplated what to do until he moved toward her again.
His lips made contact with her neck this time. She willingly tilted her head to give him better access to the soft skin. He nipped almost playfully which drew small moans of pleasure from Tea's lips.
The young man made a trail of kisses up to her ear. She shivered at how sensitive this all felt.
"I want to fuck you Tea." He whispered in his usual rought tone.
She swallowed loudly as he said this. It was strange hearing something so foul come out of the usually proper Seto Kaiba's mouth. Who was she to stop this though. She had initiated it in the first place right? In all reality, she wanted him too. There was no denying it anymore.
She cautioudly moved her hands to the hem of his shirt, letting her fingers linger there for a short time. It didn't take long for Kaiba to understand what she was hinting at. He pulled off the T-shirt in one quick movement, leaving his perfect chest and mid-section exposed to her. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the smooth skin and the well defined muscle.
He breathed loudly as he moved his hands to the tank top she was wearing. He pulled it over her arms quickly and in no time was working on the button of her jeans.
Tea panted and helplessly watched as he pulled the denim down over her long legs.
He threw her clothing off to the side of the room and stared intently at her. It was as if he was studying every part of her body, careful not to forget what she looked like later on.
His hands moved to her hips as he leaned down to place more kisses on her neck and upper chest. Pleasure flowed throughout her entire body. It seemed to take over her entire being, clouding her judgement. Her head spun as she felt his nips and kisses covering her neck.
Then, it struck her like lightening. The brief vision of Yami popped into her brain and sent her crashing back to reality. She suddenly moved to the side, dodging the kiss that the young man was going to place on her lips.
"I...um. I'm sorry Kaiba, I can't do this." She choked out as she grabbed her shirt off of the floor.
He watched as she pulled it over her head, obviously confused. A funny feeling rose inside of him. Perhaps, this is what embarassment felt like? He had never had a reason to feel ashamed of his actions. He was usually always right, and here he was, about to have a one night stand with a girl he barely new anything about.
"I'm sorry." He stated quietly. He looked away as she finished dressing.
Tea pulled her shoulder-length hair into a ponytail, trying to disguise the mess it was in.
"I'm really sorry Kaiba. This whole thing was a mistake. That kiss...it wasn't meant for you." She admitted softly as she grabbed her books and shoved them into her backpack. "I don't know what I was thinking."
For the first time in his life, Seto Kaiba was speechless. He wasn't sure what to say. Part of him knew that that kiss wasn't meant for him. She knew about her infatuation with Yami. And why did it matter anyway? It's not like he had ever been interested in her this way. He could have any of the other girl's in school.
Tea wad pulled one of her backpack straps over her shoulder. "I'll finish the essay tonight at my house if you want to finish the model here. That way we'll be finished early." Her voice oozed guilt and maybe a bit of sadness.
He nodded. "That's fine. I'll see you tomorrow." His tone was frigid again, as it usually always was.
The young woman let a long sigh escape her lips as she exited the room.
This was going to be a long night.
