Chapter Two:
Seto crept across his lawn, tiptoed across the front porch and snuck in through the front door without making so much as a peep. He let out a sigh of relief as he took his jacket off and hung it in the closet. He was pretty damn tired, but his time out had been well worth it. He just hoped he could keep Joey as a friend.
He walked up the stairs to his room and threw himself down on the bed, falling asleep almost instantly.
Not even an hour later, his father burst through the door, already dressed for business.
"Seto! Wake up!" his father bellowed.
Seto's eyes flew open and he sat up, still very out of it from his lack of sleep yet he could feel the prickling fear running through his veins.
"We have some matters to take care of. The company meeting starts at twelve, so get up and get ready, boy. This is important." his father said.
Seto felt relieved that his father hadn't found out about his late outting, but he was beyond frustrated with himself that he had completely forgotten about the damn meeting today.
"Be downstairs in thirty minutes."
His father stalked out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
Seto rubbed his eyes and dragged himself out of the comfort of his bed, dreading every moment of the day ahead of him.
Except the possibility that he might see Joey later. That would be his silver lining. Now all he had to do was find out how he could bring it up to his dad.
He reached for his phone and flipped it open, smiling when he saw that he had already gotten a text from the blonde.
"Sleep well! :D", was all it said, but it lightened Seto's mood.
He smiled and texted back, "I tried, but I only got a little bit of sleep. I'm off to a meeting now. Ugh... Text me whenever you wake up."
Seto entered his bathroom and stared at his reflection in the mirror. He had changed dramtically the past couple months, maybe not as much physically as mentally and emotionally. No, his physical characteristics had definitely been affected the least.
He was still going through changes, some outrageously confusing ones at that.
But he didn't have much time to dwell on such things at the moment. He had business to attend to.
Business...
Usual, boring business...
Ugh...
