**I walked upstairs and heard the familiar play by play commentators of the MLB voices which meant that my father was home.
"How as fishing?" I asked as I walked into the living room
"Princess you're home. How was dinner?" My father turned in his chair, "Well look at you. You look just like your mother."
"Thanks dad, but it was nice. The food was amazing." I sat on the couch
"How was the company? Having dinner with the multibillionaire should have called for some interesting conversation." My father pushed
"Most of it was telling him not to give me sympathy about our living situation and financial state." I shrugged
"Oh come on princess, you had to have talked about more than that." My father sighed
"Not really, the food was delicious and I couldn't stop long enough to start a conversation." I laughed and sprawled out on the couch
We spend the rest of the night watching baseball and drinking beer.
…
"Hey-ya fam! How's the car coming Blair." Luke came strolling through the garage doors
I lifted myself out of the cab of a car I was working on and wiped my hands on my pants, "Whose car? Mine or your's? I told you that I can't do anything until you get me some new pistons."
"I was asking about yours but thank you for reminding me for the millionth time about the pistons." Luke began to fiddle with some tools
"You know things would go quicker if you would let me get you the parts you need for your car." Luke pointed out
"I don't want your illegal stolen parts." I huffed "I don't need to be hassled by the police when I get pulled over."
"Yeah, yeah, I've heard this bitch story before… hey didn't you go on a date a couple weeks ago with the Kaiba guy?" Luke changed the subject
"Yeah so what of it? It was in thanks for fixing his car, that's all." I tried to sound uninterested although I spend a great deal of my nights thinking about it
"Did he treat you good? I don't care how much he makes or how high and mighty he is I'll go beat the shit out of him." Luke cracked his knuckles
"Yes he was a gentleman, more of a gentleman that any dumbass around here." I laughed
"Did he kiss you good night?" Luke made kissy noises
I blushed in anger, "No he did not!"
"Holy shit, speak of the devil." Luke whispered suddenly
"What?" I yelled and whipped around and nearly face planted into Seto Kaiba's chest, "Hi..."
"I was in the neighborhood and though I would stop by." Kaiba smiled softly and blushed slightly
"Why?" Luke scoffed "Why would you be in a neighborhood like this?"
"I'm sorry but I'm wondering the same thing." I agreed and took a few steps back
"Business. Who is this?" Seto asked eying Luke suspiciously
"My cousin, Luke. Luke, Mr. Kaiba. Mr. Kaiba, Luke." I introduced
Seto seemed to relax when I introduced Luke as being my family.
"Charmed I'm sure." Luke said with an awful British accent
I laughed and continued with what I was doing before both Luke and Seto interrupted.
"No really come on man, what are you doing here huh? Wouldn't have anything to do with my cousin does it?" Luke was acting overly friendly
I stood up suddenly and threw my oily rag at Luke leaving oil on his white shirt.
"Fucking hell Blair! Damn it I was going out tonight!" Luke shrieked
I deep belly laughed, "There is club soda in the fridge and baking soda in the cabinet."
"You need to hurry anyways. Mercy is going to be here soon to help you get ready." Luke grumbled as he walked away
"Where are you going?" Seto asked
"Some new club a couple blocks away." I shrugged and leaned against the car
Luke came back shirtless and scrubbing the oil spot on his shirt, "Have you showed him your work in progress?"
"No she has not." he smiled
I sighed and walked to where my Mustang was hidden in the corner. Seto followed close behind me.
"What is it?" he asked with grimace
"A car of course!" I said angrily
"Barely…" Seto laughed
"I don't need comments from a guy who can buy anything he wants." I huffed
"Fine, what type is it? Seto asked apologetically
"It's a 1967 Mustang GT500 fastback." I said dreamily
"It's her pride of joy, but she has been working on it for the past 6 years." Luke said pulling his shirt down has he approached us
"I got it for my 18th birthday slash graduation present. It was from my dad; he knew I wanted something I could make my own, but parts don't come cheap." I said running my fingertips on the frame
"It's the car from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds, you know the car they called 'Eleanor'?" Luke clapped Seto's shoulder
"I'm gonna do her up just like Eleanor, DuPont Gray and everything." I said lustfully "But money is tight so I have to save up to fix a few things at a time."
"Blaaaaaaair!" Mercy's high pitch chirp came ring through the shop
"Over here Merc!" Luke hollered back
I heard the familiar click-clack of Mercy's heels and I smelt her overly perfumed body before I saw her.
"Oh well well… Who is this handsome fellow?" Mercy smacked her gum as she looked Seto up and down
"Mercy this is Seto Kaiba. Mr. Kaiba, this is Luke's younger sister Mercy." I pointed back and forth
"Oh so this is the man that I got you all dressed up for? Hmmm… you'se got good taste. I hope you liked my cousin's get up? It's not like I had to work very hard though. She's a 'beaut anyways." Mercy said and ran her hand down Kaiba's arm
Seto looked uncomfortable and gave me a panicked look that pleaded for help.
"We should get upstairs Merc. You got to work your magic again, and I need to scrub the oil and grease from under my nails." I laughed and linked my arm through Mercy's
"Thanks for stopping by Mr. Kaiba. Although I still don't know why you showed up." I laughed and practically drug Mercy out
….
"We'll be at club Blu in case you were wondering." Luke whispered to Seto as he was leaving
Seto looked back in acknowledgement but didn't say a word.
This time around Mercy was not so sparring with makeup and hair spray. We left my house and I felt like I had 10 extra pounds just on my face, but after a few shots I wasn't feeling a thing. Mercy and I were burning up the dance floor. I had to push away a few guys who were trying to grind up on me a little too much, but overall I was having a good time.
"Come on! Another round of tequila shots!" Mercy slurred
"Where is Luke?" I asked when we made it back to our table
"Oh probably having a quickie with a skank in the alley." Mercy laughed and flagged down a waitress
"Hey, what are two looking babes like you doing alone? How about I buy ya a drink?" A smooth man sauntered over to our table
"Yeah! We were just getting ready to buy a round of tequila." Mercy practically threw herself on the man
"Anything you want sweetheart." The man cooed and pulled Mercy in closer
The slightly creepy man bought us two more rounds of tequila and then took Mercy out to the dance floor. I sat babying my feet and waited for either Luke or Mercy to come back. After 4 songs Mercy finally stumbled her way back with the man on her tail.
"Why aren't you dancing?" Mercy leaned against my shoulder
"Feet hurt and I'm losing my buzz. I think I'm going to head home." I yell whispered in Mercy's ear
"Alright I'm going to stick around for a little while longer." Mercy winked and threw her head in the man's direction
"You have fun…" I waved and tried to make my way towards the exit
It was slow to leave; every other man I passed tried to cat call me or grab my ass. I slapped a couple and flipped off the rest. Once I finally got outside the cold air felt good against my skin. I hadn't realized how much I was sweating from dancing. I stood outside for a moment allowing the cold air to swirl around my body.
"Going home so soon?" A deep voice made me jump
"Mr. Kaiba? What are you doing here?" I turned around holding my chest
"You can call me Seto, or just Kaiba, for some reason people refer to me by my last name." Seto was walking out of the club doors
"I like Seto…" I smiled
Kaiba smiled softly back, "You aren't going home yet are you?"
"Yeah, my feet are killing me, drinks are expensive, and I don't like taking drinks from men I've never met before. Call me a bitch but I don't want to be a date rape drug victim. Plus I have the drunk munchies." I giggled
I noticed Seto's cheeks turn a slight pink color, but I figured it was because of the cold air.
"I'll give you a ride." he offered sweetly
"Normally I would refuse but my toes are going numb from these damn heels and the cold." I continued to giggle, I could feel my buzz returning
"Here," Seto slid off his suit coat and placed it on my shoulders, "You have goose skin."
I snuggled against the warmth and slid my arms through the sleeves, "Oh my god, how long are your arms!?"
I lifted my arms and my hands were not visible. It set me into another fit of giggles. I couldn't tell if it was the alcohol or the fact that I was with Seto Kaiba again, but my alcohol induced high was returning.
"You have a cute laugh." Seto said quietly and blushed deeper
His compliment made me laugh more but I covered my face in embarrassment. We approached a sleek black car and I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Maserati Granturismo…" I mumbled
"Even intoxicated you know your cars." Seto laughed
I slowly approached the car as if a sudden movement would spook it away. I drug my fingertips across the length of the car and all the way around.
"So sleek; She's beautiful." I whispered to myself
Seto came up and opened the passenger door for me. I tried to gracefully sit down, but in my drunken stupor I stumbled a little and more of rolled into the car. I laughed out the pain while he moved around to the driver's side. He pushed the start engine button and a let out an orgasmic moan as the engine roared to life. I saw a wide tooth grin on Seto's face out of the corner of my eye. He urged the car forward slowly. I leaned back into the Corinthian leather and let it envelope me like a lovers arms. The feel this car gave me almost better than sex, and I think Seto noticed it too. I opened my eyes to see my favorite pizza place.
"Go there! Oh my god they have the best pizza ever!" I nearly screamed
Seto whipped the car into the parking lot and I screamed in joy, "Weeeee!"
"What was fun!" I laughed as he placed it in park
He chuckled softly and go out of the car. He was there just in time for me to almost fall while trying to stand up. Seto caught me just as I was falling face first to the pavement.
"Fucking heels!" I hissed
Seto delicately put a hand on the small of my back in case I started falling again. He ushered me inside while I slurred out my order to him. I honestly forgot what I told him until the pizza came out smelling of tomato sauce and cheesy goodness. I quickly opened the box and stuffed a slice in my face. Seto paid the cashier while I ate like a pig and tried to sneak out of the building un-noticed. I got caught when the bells above the door chimed.
He smiled at me amused, "Why are you trying to sneak away?"
"I honestly don't know but it was fun." I said through a mouth full of pizza
Seto shook his head with a smile, "Let's go."
We got back in his luxurious car, but I was too distracted by food to orgasm over the sound of the engine
"You want one?" I asked and thrusted a slice in his face
"No I'm good, it's all yours." Kaiba smiled softly
"Oh come on you bought it, and its reaaaaaaally good." I pushed it closer
"I don't like pizza…" He mumbled
"WHAT!" I shrieked
"Yeah, I just never really got the appeal." Seto shrugged
"You poor, poor man…" I cried
Seto started to slow down and I noticed that we were in front of my auto body shop.
"Oh… but I'm not ready to go inside yet." I looked over with pleading eyes
He didn't hesitate a single moment and the car continued pass the shop and down the road.
"Yay!" I threw my hands up
We continued down different streets and well out of the east side and into the more prosperous parts of town. Seto stopped at a small park with a splash fountain and playground equipment. Once the engine was off I got out still holding the box of pizza and walked to the front of the car. Seto was beside me immediately. We leaned against the car watching the water in the fountain.
"I can't believe that I almost ate a whole pizza…" I said ashamed
"I don't think it'll affect you." he smiled
I turned and placed the box on the hood and rubbed my extended stomach.
"What were you doing at the club tonight?" I blurted out
"Enjoying their opening night." he answered immediately but didn't look in my direction
"Uh-huh, because you look like you go clubbing…" I narrowed my eyes
"I enjoy dancing…" he was a terrible liar
"Right, well why didn't I see you on the dance floor?" I pushed
"VIP room." Another quick answer
"Now that I believe." I giggled "What drinking Dom Perignon from some hot model's breasts while wealthy business men did cocaine on a mirror?"
"No I was too busy watching you dance…" He said but stopped suddenly
I looked over to him and smiled sweetly pushing for more information.
Seto sighed and continued, "You dance like everyone is there to watch you, but you dance as if no one is around. You have great rhythm and you can move your body perfectly along to the beat."
"Which is exactly why my feet are killing me." I began to kick off my heels
I stood up and walked through the grass; it felt like satin on my feet. Seto watched me intently.
"Why didn't you come dance with me then?" I asked
Seto just laughed and I looked at him confused, but he never answered.
"Dance with me now." I held out my hand
He stopped laughing immediately and now was the one looking at me confused.
I grabbed his arm and pulled him out into the grass with me.
"There is no music." Kaiba mumbled
"Does there have to be?" I cocked my head to the side and wrapped my hands around the back of his neck, "No one is watching; it's okay."
He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer and we began to sway slightly from side to side.
"See it's not that bad." I whispered
We continued for a few minutes but then I had a strange feeling in my stomach.
"Oh god…" I pushed off of him barely in time to puke up everything in my stomach
I suddenly regretted eating an entire pizza on top of all of those tequila shots. I continued to puke twice more before I finally felt like everything was out of my stomach.
"I'm so sorry…" I said embarrassed
I looked up to see Seto holding out a handkerchief "Are you okay? Was my dancing that bad?"
I feebly laughed, "No it wasn't bad at all. I think I'm ready to go home now."
Seto practically carried me to the car. I felt incredibly weak and was dragging my feet to the car. He put me in the passenger seat and I closed my eyes. I felt like it was only a blink because moments later we were in front of the shop and Kaiba was gently nudging me awake.
"Hmm?"
"Where are your keys?" Seto asked as he was helping me stand
"Here." I reached into my dress and pulled out a single key from my bra
Seto blinked down at me blushing before taking the key.
"Can you stand long enough for me to get the door open?" he asked
My eyes continued to flutter, but I nodded my head and tried to keep my knees locked. I swayed back and forth fighting against exhaustion and my drunken state. My knee's unbuckled and I began to fall forward. Seto rushed over and scooped me up cradling me. I closed my eyes and rested my head against his firm chest.
"You're surprisingly lighter than I thought." he laughed to himself
"Fuck you." I grumbled
Seto carried me up the stairs to my apartment and surprisingly found my room easily. He set me down on my bed and I sat up and stopped him from leaving.
"Thank you." I rubbed my eye probably smearing make-up everywhere
"I thought you were asleep." he turned around and walked back towards me
I stood up and began to take off my dress.
"What are you doing." Seto asked nervously
"Getting out of this uncomfortable dress." I slurred
Seto turned but still watched me out of the corner of his eye. I removed my clothes and slide a long t-shirt over my head and pulled my hair out of the collar.
"Are you leaving?" I asked as I approached him
"I was planning on it." He replied confused
I moved past him and into the bathroom right next to my room. I grabbed my toothbrush and began to brush the acidy taste of alcohol and pizza out of my mouth. I purposefully tried not to look in the mirror, I didn't need to know how drunk I looked. Seto leaned against the entry to the cramped bathroom and watched me intently brushing my teeth.
"Thank you for bringing me home, and not being grossed out that I almost puked on you." I gargled through foaming toothpaste
"I should thank you for having enough sense to not puke on me." Seto chuckled
I smiled and spat out the toothpaste and rinsed out my mouth, "So much better."
I wasn't sure if it was just because I was feeling bold or I was still suffering from the effects of alcohol, but I turned and walked towards Seto, stood up on my tip-toes, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Good night, thanks again." I mumbled and went back in my room
I gently closed the door behind me and leaned against it breathing hard from embarrassment. I almost regretted kissing him, and I didn't dare look at him afterwards. I probably embarrassed him more than I embarrassed myself. I heard the main door close after a few minutes and after beating myself up a little longer I finally crawled back in bed.
