Ryou came to weakly and found herself on her bed. She didn't recall how she got there nor getting home. She was alone and she could hear nobody in her apartment. Sp just how in the hell had she made it back.
Looking around she found a covered pot of porridge by her bedside with a note on top. Had Yami made her food too? God she really owed her now; but with her salary paying her back would take years.
She got up slowly and read the note; upon doing so her hope deflated. It wasn't from the person she hoped it was. But at least he had shown he cared which meant a lot to her. He was too good to her sometimes; he really needed to get a girlfriend or boyfriend; whichever he wanted at the minute.
"Hey Bakura; you passed out on the way home so I helped get you back here. I made food so eat it up ok-Marik"
She sighed heavily and opened the lid it was still warm and smelled great. He was such a nice guy to do this for her. She just hoped the boss or other co-workers wouldn't spread rumors about it; she could handle the shit they gave her but Marik didn't deserve it.
As she took her first mouthful tears sprang to her eyes. It had been so long since she ate a decent meal. It warmed her soul and eased her growling belly that had been starved of a decent meal for so long.
She felt sad though; knowing she had lost the chance to get to know Bakura better. After how hard she had tried to impress her. Suddenly she felt a rustle in her shirt pocket. The sound of crinkling paper; yet she held no memory of carrying notes at some point.
She picked it out and felt her heart scream with joy upon looking at it. There was the phone number of Bakura in her shirt pocket. Words could not convey the joy in her heart right now. She had come a step closer to getting close to the girl of her interest.
She grabbed her phone and dialled in the number on the paper. Her phone would automatically save the number and she would add it to contacts. As the dialing tone rang she bit her lip hopefully. please answer, please answer, please answer!
"Hello? Bakura Yami speaking" Bakura answered cautiously. The person who called was an unknown number. She never really gave out her number willingly and Ryou who was sleeping now couldn't possibly call her.
"Yami-san?" Ryou answered sheepishly. She felt so rude calling her while she was at work; she was probably busy. At least they could relate on the whole night-shift thing and how much it sucked ass.
Yami perked up instantly; she sounded much better than she had earlier. Hopefully she was feeling better. "Oh Ryou! Sorry I didn't know it was you; I'll save your number to my phone for future reference" Bakura apologized quickly.
She thought it was her boss or some weirdo calling on a private number. She must have sounded really scary to the poor girl. She was really making a shitty first impression to a girl who was obviously into her.
Ryou laughed nervously "No its fine; thanks for helping me earlier. I hope I wasn't too much trouble" she apologized meekly. She had already given her poor customer service, snapped at her and forced her to help her home. God she had given the woman no end of troubles since first meeting her today.
Yami laughed gently "You were no trouble at all; your friend Marik got you home as I had no idea where you lived. I've notified your boss to give you time off for the sake of your health" she stated firmly.
If Ryou went any longer without sleep or food she would collapse. She needed time off for the sake of her own well being if not for Yami's own metal state. Hell she would threaten the fat fuck she worked for if it meant Ryou got time off.
Ryou blushed; she had done all that for her? Nobody had ever gone so far for her sake before; it felt kind of nice. "I...I'll really owe you now" she stammered shyly. Just how was she going to pay her back now?
Yami smiled; after all she had done Ryou really owed Yami big time. However she knew exactly how the waitress could pay her back. Now it was her turn to play cool and finally use her charisma.
"Say 9:00 Saturday. I'll meet you at the bakery on the way to your work. I'll treat you to lunch" she teased playfully. Given her shitty boss and how hungry she had been; it was fair to say Ryou's paycheck was not big.
Given Ryou's pay check and how hard she worked; it would be nice for her to be spoilt for once. God knows she never was usually she bet. Given how that guy Marik seemed to be her only friend and worked for the same boss as her.
Are you sure? I mean I already owe you!" Ryou panicked anxiously. She was never going to be able to pay her back. Not with her wages at least; she would have to find another method of payment.
Yami sighed heavily annoyance obvious in her tone. Why did Ryou feel she had to repay her at all? She did all these kind things to Ryou because she wanted to not because she wanted Ryou to have an excuse to spend time with her.
"Ryou you don't owe me a thing. I've been kind to you by my own free will and nothing more!" she stated firmly. She would never accept that Ryou felt she owed her anything. She had more than enough money and look after herself very well.
She was a grown adult and was more than capable of paying her bills, feeding herself and getting to and from work by herself. That wasn't to say she wasn't touched at how Ryou was worried about her. In fact, she found it very cute and endearing.
The phone went quiet for a while then Ryou said sheepishly "Ok…. but only if you're sure. You've done so much for me as it is". At least with her tip she could buy food for the month or more and pay off her rent too. So while she wasn't aware of it Yami had actually helped out more than she was aware.
Yami chuckled in amusement "You're such a sweetie; your parents did a good job raising you" she teased affectionately. To be so grateful for the kindness of another and want to repay their kindness showed good upbringing. She was glad that at least Ryou's parents had raised her to be a decent human being.
Ryou's voice hitched and Yami swore she could hear Ryou's embarrassment in her voice. She had certainly found a girl who was ridiculously her type. "I'm just a decent human being; more so than my shitty boss that's for sure" Ryou stated stubbornly.
"I don't doubt it" Bakura responded playfully. She had seen what kind of person Ryou was the minute she met her; she just acted the way she did because of the stresses of her job and hunger.
Given how hard she obviously worked, how little time she got off and how little time she had to eat of course she would act that way. The poor girl was being overworked, underpaid and worn ragged. God knows how she had lasted this long and not keeled over.
She had given Marik money to buy porridge on the way home with and then left. That way Ryou would at least have eaten something good. She could imagine her crying over how good it tasted.
"So….does this make us dating now? I mean we have each other's numbers and our feelings are certainly mutual" Ryou asked curiously. She hoped to god Yami said yes; she was insanely her type and while she didn't look it she needed someone to look out for her sometimes.
While she was no pushover she was not exactly intimidating which made going against her boss difficult. The reason he always harassed her and made fun of her was because of her cute face. She was too adorable to be taken seriously; which was the cause for people to take advantage of her in the past.
Yami chuckled in amusement "I presumed we were courting from that moment you gave me an extra-large coffee" she teased cheekily. Yes she had caught onto Ryou's technique and happily took the bait for such a lovely specimen of a woman.
Ryou felt her cheeks burn; so she had caught onto her flirting. At least it had worked even if it was a pretty subtle move. She never thought it would work but here she was. Guess some wishes really do come true.
"You…you assumed right" she stammered shyly. She had taken a bold move but indeed her motives had been to flirt with Yami. But at least in the end they had paid off even if the road hadn't been easy.
Yami chuckled; she had dated many girls in her high school and middle school years but they had ended. Brief romances that didn't last and a few had only been after her family wealth.
But Ryou was different; while she worried about her finances she cared about the troubles she placed upon others. She was genuine, hardworking and a good person; that was what Yami liked about her.
"So….I suppose I shall see you this weekend my sweet" Bakura teased cheekily a grin spreading across her face. She would do well to spoil Ryou and show her a small amount of affection of what was to come. But when the time came she would ravage Ryou for all it was worth.
While she loved Ryou's body and couldn't wait to touch and devour every inch of her being; she wanted to show her love, affection and respect. Something she was undoubtedly lacking in her current job and personal life.
"Mmm…see you this weekend" Ryou stammered shyly feeling her cheeks heat. It had been so long since she had been on a date; what would she wear?! She felt like she was in middle school all over again.
"Sweet dreams Ryou and remember to take it easy till then" she cooed gently before hanging up the phone. It was currently Monday; so she had 4 days to wait thank god. She wouldn't have to wait long to see Ryou all dolled up for her.
Ryou hung up the phone before feeling her cheeks flush and screaming internally. She had a date; a date! Kami had finally heard her wishes and cut her some slack; god she wanted to cry right now she was so happy.
Man she hadn't been on one since high school and even then it had been awkward. It had been with her senpai another female. But after she graduated they broke up; she hadn't been one since. For many years now she had been single because no other women seemed to look at her and fuckboys were the only thing she seemed to attract.
"What will I wear? What should I do with my hair?! Should I wear my nice panties?! God what I am I gonna do?!" Ryou panicked. She knew Yami had offered to pay which meant the eatery was going to be nice. But given her pay check she didn't exactly have flashy attire.
She didn't exactly have fancy clothes but she had clothes that showed off her figure. Usually she was against it but maybe if she wore something that showed off her assets she could forget about the fact she would be dressed down.
She breathed in heavily "Ok; I know my boss shames my breasts. But for a date I shall embrace my large endowment!" Ryou stated bravely. Yes this sounded off coming from her given how much trouble she got with them; but just for once she would throw away her morals.
While she had suffered problems all her life because of her well-proportioned breasts; she would take advantage of them for the sake of Bakura. Showing off your body for the sake of the person you liked wasn't so bad was it?
Ok operation; seduce a white haired hottie was in progress. She would use her personality and well developed teenage body to win over the beautiful and seductive adult woman who was obviously into her. She prayed to Kami her plans would work.
