Rejection
At school, the next day, Teá asks me eagerly about my 'Secret Valentine'. Time to put my acting skills to the test! I sniff and pretend to rub my eyes. 'Nothing. He didn't turn up! It was all just a trick!' I say sadly. Teá looks shocked. 'Oh, Rori, I'm so sorry' she says, giving me a hug. I see Seto behind her, pretending to read, but looking at me, eyebrow raised in amusement. I give him a quick wink behind Teá's back.
Later, I'm sorting out my locker when someone leans on the locker beside mine and says 'Hey babycakes. I was hoping to get to talk to you.' Oh no. I turn to face him. 'What do you want Winters?' I ask. Josh Winters gives me a cheeky grin. Teá says his smile is dazzling. I say his mouth is too big for his face. 'I was wondering if you'd like to come on a date with me. The hottest boy in the world with the sexiest girl in the world. What do you say, babycakes?' he asks. I roll my eyes and simply answer 'I say dream on.' I slam my locker shut and start to head down the corridor when he grabs my wrist. 'Are you saying no?' Winters says horrified. 'I'm not just saying no, I'm saying NEVER!' I pull away from him and head off. 'This is impossible! No-one says no to Josh Winters!' he shouts, stamping his foot like a toddler. I look back smiling and call 'Well you know what Josh Winters...I just did!' I laugh and rush off home.
'Bye Grandpa- just going for a walk!' I call. 'Alright but be back by ten.' says Grandpa polishing the counter. I hurry and make my way to the museum with two minutes to spare. I go inside and am just heading to reception when someone grabs my hand and pulls me back. 'Very impressive acting today sweetheart.' the person whispers. I smile happily and turn to face him. 'You should be an actress, you were brilliant today at school.' says Seto. I giggle let him pull me into an empty room. 'I also saw what happened with Winters.' he adds. 'Oh God, Seto, I'm sorry' I stammer. 'You know I don't like him, and I rejected him and he didn't take it very well and-' I'm stopped as he very gently presses his lips against mine. 'Ssh sweetheart, I saw what you did. You did brilliant.' he assures me. I smile and lean in to kiss him but he backs away slightly, teasing me. 'Come on, we're going out now' he says smiling cheekily. 'Where are we going?' I ask. Seto smirks at me sneakily. 'Just wait and see.'
The sea is so beautiful...especially at sunset with my boyfriend's arms around me. 'I love this Seto, this is so beautiful.' I whisper. Seto nuzzles into my neck, his lips at my ear. 'One of best places for a secret date.' he jokes. In contrast to keeping our affair a secret, we have to find the best places to stay away from everyone else, so Seto has taken me to the edge of Domino City, to the cliffs. 'This is just for now. We'll think of a better place soon.' he whispers. I smile happily and catch my breath as Seto presses his lips on mine. I close my eyes as his lips trail down to my neck then back up again. 'I love you Aurora Moto.' he says his fingers tracing my cheekbone. Normally, I hate it if people call me Aurora but with Seto, it is so different. Beep! Beep! I glance at my watch. It's 9:45! 'I need to get back now!' I say sadly. 'Don't worry sweetheart, I'll get you back.' he assures me.
True to his word, Seto gets me home with five minutes to spare. He leaves me just at the edge of the road so no one will see us. 'I'll see you at school tomorrow...Ms. Moto' he teases. 'See you then...Kaiba' I retaliate. A quick kiss and I hurry home. 'Good walk, Rori?' Yugi asks me when I enter the kitchen. I grab a hot dog and smile to myself. 'Great walk, Yug. Just great.'
