Sorry it took me so long to get this to you but I was having writers block I forgot the plot for a moment so I had to remember it again. Plus I was writing a one shot series and I was being lazy so really I do not have an excuse.
Chapter 4
(Kaiba's and Kisara's bedroom)
(Kisara pov)
I felt my body ache. I was finally awake from my deep slumber. My eyes were sticking to the top skin of the cheek but with a few swipes of my hand, I removed all the junk and made my eyes flutter open. The haze that veiled my eyes slowly cleared up. I went from seeing the blur of the white to the see the little points on the ceiling.
My body demanded to stretch to get rid of the aching annoying tired stiffness. I yawned stretching my arms and legs to the headboard and the footboard of the bed.
I heard a soft groan coming from beside me. I twisted my upper body, since my lower body was tightly wrapped around with blankets and legs.
I saw Seto's lying face towards the ceiling a trail of blood dripping from his nose.
"Seto, what happened?" He turned his head and looked at me with the I-really-can't-believe-you-just-said-that glare.
"Who the hell taught you to punch like that?" I chuckled.
"You know exactly who taught me. So stop complaining." Again I got that I-really-can't-believe-you-just-said-that glare.
"I'm going to get Viv for this." He murmured under his breath. I just chuckled. Seto wrapped his tone arms around my clothed waist and pulled me into his chest.
His subtle but with a hint of spice intoxicating smell I snuggled into his chest and with my fingers I brushed different patterns into his bare chest. I felt his shivers from my finger tips I relaxed.
I loved lazy mornings like this. Where we would stay in bed and make love to each other. Then we would get up and share a mug of hot chocolate with half the bottle of whip cream swirled on top. In the meanwhile we would half little tiny marshmallows on the coffee table.
We would either watch my movies or his; it took a lot of convincing for to watch the movie Thief Lord. Even though he wouldn't admit it, he liked the movie and stole my copy of the book from Viv's, well supposed to my room.
He probably would keep this secret to his grave but he liked the book version of Thief, despite it was a children's or pre teen's book. I was glad he liked it
It was the very first book my mom read me. Even though I didn't comprehend most of the story she still read it to me, page by page, chapter by chapter till the end of the book. The book was a bittersweet memory to me.
"You know your going to break my nose one day." I just laughed in agreement and knowing he wasn't going to get more out of me, snake one of my hands to the edge of my tank top. From there he tugged the ends of the fabric, twisting and turning it under his calloused fingers.
He leaned down and with his blue eyes stared at me. I felt the hairs on my neck raise and when he leaned into kiss me. I leaned forward, and when our lips touch, I swear I could hear the fireworks going off.
Then for what was the hundredth time Viv slammed the door. Seto finally put a metal square so the door didn't go through the wall and Seto didn't have to repair.
Our of habit we both groaned loudly, Seto buried his head into my hair and I buried my head into his chest hoping that it could block out Viv's loud voice.
"Go away." Seto moaned for both of us. Viv ignored the demanded as usual.
Viv ignored Seto's demanded and stomped her way to my side of the bed. I snuggled closer to Seto as she threw off the covers and let the cold air in the room hit me full force, stinging my clothed back and exposed legs.
Unfortunately for me my hands were only resting on Seto's chest so when Viv yanked at my leg, with her Super Woman strength, she pulled me across the bed before Seto could help me.
She tugged on my leg so hard that she sent me sliding over my side of the bed, past the edge and to land on the carpeted floor with a muffled thump.
My head pounded once, and I clutched it and gently rubbed where it was sore hoping it would get rid of the pain. Unfortunately for me my whole left side of my body ached and it was all Viv's fault.
"Ow." I moaned into the floor. That girl was to strong for her own good. More like the good for others. I had no clue how I had put up with her for so long. "I'm up, I'm up. Just don't do that again." I warned her.
I could just imagine Viv's victory smirk on her little evil face. No, I knew she had that little stupid smirk on her face that made even the kindest of people fight the urge to rip it right off her face. That girl was so annoying at times.
I lay on the floor for like a pitiful mass before I stood up, cursing Viv for the extreme throbbing pain in my side. I walked to the edge of the bed, I could feel Viv's eyes on me and new she was ready to pounce like a cat ready to catch its prey, if I collapsed down on the inviting bed. Instead I pecked Seto on the cheek and before he could pull me done I walked away with Viv hot on my heels.
(Serenity's house)
(Serenity pov)
I pulled the brush through my light brown tresses and felt as the brush got rid of all the tangles. I really need to get a trim, my split ends were getting out of control. But I didn't have money to get a hair cut. It could wait, I had more important things. Like making sure we had enough food for Joey and me.
It was a good thing I got dressed. Kisara told me that she was going to come around noon but I got ready at 11:00 just in case. She also said to not eat anything and that her friend was driving. I really had no clue but I was thankful.
Then a loud honk echoed and bounced off the walls of the apartment complex. I knew it was them.
After explaining the situation to Joey again, I quickly grabbed my coat from the coat tree and ran through the door.
When I closed the door and was about to head down the stairs, I saw it. The red Ferrari glistened in the sun, out of place in the poor apartment complex. I saw the neighbors peek out of there apartments and stared awestruck at the car.
I could see Kisara's bright pearl white hair in the passenger's seat and I headed towards the car. I got in the car, focusing my gaze on my feet and trying to cover my blush. I knew I was going to be bombarded when I got home.
That's when I noticed the mystery driver. Her blond hair was pulled into a ponytail, curled to perfection and delicately placed on her shoulder. Complementing her tan skin and pink lips were white sunglasses that her eyes.
I pulled my seatbelt over my torso and buckled in. I looked up and in the review mirror and I watched mystery driver was watching with me scrutinizing eyes. Kisara glared at the girl and she scoffed and turned the key in the ignition. The engine purred to life.
Kisara turned her head towards me. "Serenity this is my friend Vivian. You can call her Viv. Also hold onto to your seat." She warned me. I couldn't help but wonder what she was talking about but I realized it when the Vivian pressed on the petal and we raced down the street.
(The Highway)
I looked at Kisara, whose gaze darted to my hands clutching the edge of the leather seat.
"Viv slow down. Your scaring the poor girl with you bad driving." Kisara demanded of Vivian.
"I'm not a bad driver!" Vivian exclaimed defensibly. Kisara glared at her.
"She's really not a bad driver." I spoke softly. Kisara then gave me a look that said did-you-lose-your-mind.
"See even the new maid agrees with me." Kisara glared at her again.
"First off her name is Serenity not new maid. Second, she is just trying to be nice to you. Third of all you're a bad driver and your glove box with the huge amount of speeding tickets proof of that." Kisara informed Vivian, using her fingers to emphasis the point.
I didn't deny any of Kisara's points even though I wanted to point out that I didn't mind being called new maid.
"Um, excuse me can I ask a question." I spoke in a soft whisper. Kisara caught it and looked back at me.
"Shoot." Kisara smiled at me.
"Where are we going?" Kisara refocused on the road.
"Well we were going to go to Kisara's house but were going to the mall. Those jeans do you no justice." Viv told me. At this I looked down, a crimson blush on my face. Kisara groaned and hit her head on the window. I thought I heard her even say save me God.
(5 hours later)
(Mall parking garage)
All three of us walked out of the doors of the expensive mall carrying too many bags to count. Unfortunately to say they were all my clothes. I kept trying to say I didn't deserve it but Vivian wouldn't have it any other way.
I still felt guilty. I didn't deserve these clothes. Kisara didn't help either when she asked me where I got my green dress from. I tried to explain that it was my mothers but they both rolled their eyes. So reluctantly I let them buy the clothes.
Now we were walking down a row of cars when Kisara broke my train of thoughts.
"Viv your explaining the credit bill to Seto."
"Why me? You're his girlfriend." Vivian whined in a high pitched voice.
"Because I'm not the one who spent almost 1,000 dollars in one shopping spree." Kisara stated in a matter of fact tone."
"Fine." Vivian agreed grudgingly. Before I could stop my self a soft giggle vibrated in my throat. Vivian glared at me.
"I'm so sorry. I-" I apologized but Kisara put her hand up in the air and I didn't speak another word, even though I wanted to.
"Don't mind Viv. She doesn't want to get yelled at Seto that's all. Last time this happened he hid his credit card from her and she went all ninja to get it back." Kisara laughed and Viv narrowed her eyes and glared at her but both were bursting in full booming laughter. The went back on the memory, Kisara asked if she remembered how she went to do a somersault and pulled a leg muscle.
I covered my mouth and chuckled. I don't know where you would find two other giving people that have a ton of money at your disposal and yet they often gave to charities and helped kids for adoption, even trying to stop adoption companies from trying to steal healthy children from loving families.
Being the nice person she was Kisara invited me in the conversation.
"Serenity jump in. I would love to tell your funny stories." I felt as if I belonged. They cared about my feelings, even if I was just the house cleaner. I guess I got really lucky this time.
I know the ending is all emotional. Now at first I had a problem with Serenity's innocent totally selfless attitude. As you can see I prefer my female characters with a sarcastic streak to them. So I will do my best to keep her in character. Also I'm so sorry for not updating in months. Geese I'm such a mean writer. I am going to try to put more drama in it.
