It's been a month since Téa has been living with Atem and all of her scars had healed.
Atem's car drove up to a large one story restaurant. Shutting it off, he looked over to Téa, who was wearing a black dress with short sleeves and a white collar and a white apron.
"You look beautiful." Atem said.
"Thank you." She blushed.
"When you reach inside the guys will explain what to do and good luck on your first day. Remember I won't be able to pick you up today, so I will ask one of the guys to drop you home tonight, okay?"
Téa nodded before leaning over to Atem and kissed his cheeks. Getting out she left the blushing male in the car.
Touching the area where Téa kissed him, Atem couldn't help but think, 'I wonder how are lips would feel against mine?' Over the past month and two days he had felt something towards the brunette but didn't want to act on his feelings, just yet any way.
He started up the car and drove off while Téa walked into the restaurant to meet Yugi, who was standing at the front door.
"Téa, you made it on time." Yugi smiled as he escorted her in. The place had an elegant feel to it. There was a huge dance floor surrounded by numerous tables, dark blue carpeting and a stage that had a jazz band.
"Wow!" She said.
"Okay, Téa. Mai will show you the ropes."
"Who is Mai?"
"She is over there." Yugi indicated to a blonde waitress, cleaning up a table. "And heads up, she and Joey have feelings for each other but are too chicken so if you see her flirting with him, you know why."
"Okay..."
"It's like you and my brother relationship."
"Atem and I? Relationship? What are you talking about Yugi?"
"I have seen the way you two look at each other."
Téa blushed, "It's that noticeable?"
"Um…yeah. Don't worry Téa, I think you two make a cute couple. And I can tell you different than those other girls that are only after him for his money."
"Do you mean it Yugi? Does Atem like me?"
"I know he does. I can tell you and Atem act like me and Rebecca, my girlfriend, did when we first fell in love. Now lets go."
Yugi and Téa walked over to Mai and after introducing the two, Yugi left them alone.
"So you're the new girl, Joey has been talking about? I must admit you're pretty. You and I are going to be the best of friend." Mai said happily.
As Atem arrived at work he had to his office located on the twenty-fifth floor. Arriving he saw his secretary, Miho, standing from her desk. She had long light blue hair and brown eyes.
"Sir, there is someone in your office waiting to meet you." Miho said.
"Who is it?" Atem asked as he opened the door to reveal one of the two persons that disgusted him in this world, sitting in his chair.
"Miho call the guards." Atem ordered. Miho quickly did as she was told while Atem walked over to the person and yelled, "Get out of my office!"
"Son that's no way to treat your father." The man said.
"You are no father of mine. Now get out!"
The man stood up. He overshadowed Atem by a foot and had jet black hair, jelled back, violet eyes and a small moustache. Wearing only black coloured biker outfits.
"Atem, you do not take to me like that, after I have taken care of you and your brother for so many years."
"If I remember correctly, after mother died you abused us till we were ten. Then Grandpa filed for sole custody, after showing what a bad parent you were."
"Minor details. That was over eleven years ago and now it's time to make help a father out and give me what is rightfully mine. Your money!"
"You greedy bastard! I have nothing for you. You never spent a dime on me and Yugi and when Gramps won custody of us, we never heard from you again till you hear that we are doing so successful."
"Oh, that reminds me. I need to stop by over Yugi's place and have a little talk with him."
"You will do no such thing!"
"You will not be giving me orders and ungrateful brat. If it wasn't for me you won't be born! I never wanted you two to begin with; now all I ask is if you give me what I want."
"Atem growled, "If you didn't want us then you should have used a condom. Now for the last time get out of my office before I kick you out."
Atem's father walked closer to him till there was little space between them than grabbed his neck and started choking him. Atem stayed clam and gave a little grin before lifting his hand, curling it into a fist before connecting it to his father's face.
Mr. Mutou released Atem before falling down. Three security guards came soon after.
"Guards, escort him out of the building and make sure he never returns." Atem said.
"Yes Mr. Mutou." The three said before taking the father from the office.
Atem walked over to his desk and picked up the phone, dialling seven digits he waited till it rang three times before someone answered.
"Hello?" The voice said.
"Yugi, I need you to do me a favour?"
"Sure, what is it, Atem?"
"Later can you drop Téa home for me? I have some things I need to do."
"Sure, is something the matter?"
"It's father. He has returned."
"Oh…" Yugi became angry. "What does he want?"
"The same old stuff."
"We need to find a way to get him out of our lives, forever."
"Don't worry we will find a way." Atem said.
It was minutes to eleven when Atem reached home. Opening the door he heard footsteps coming from up the stairs. He closed the door and placed his briefcase on a night table.
"Atem, I am happy your home. I was starting to get worried." Téa said as she reached the last step.
Atem looked her direction and saw the brunette wearing a long, white t-shirt.
"I am sorry, I was very busy."
"Come on, I made you some dinner. It's in the microwave." Téa walked into the kitchen. Atem followed behind.
As Atem was eating, he and Téa talked about their day and other stuff. Once finished Atem washed out his plate before going upstairs to take a shower.
When he came out of the bathroom wearing only a blue boxers, he walked over to his bed and sat on it, thinking about what happened today before a knock was heard.
"Come in." he said.
Téa walked in and said, "You seem stressed since you have arrived. It do you want to talk about it?"
Atem nodded as he made space for her. Téa walked over to the bed but instead of sitting down, she kneeled on it and gave Atem a massage. "My father said this helps also."
"Yeah, it feels wonderful!"
"What is the matter?"
"My father. He is like your mother, abusive. He used to physically hurt us before our grandfather took us from him. Now he stalks Yugi and I, and demands we gives him money since he is our father."
"He is a gold-digger?"
"Yes. And if Yugi and I don't find a way to get rid of him. He will continue to stalk us till he gets what he wants."
"I am sure you guys will find a way." Téa said confidently. "And I wish I could be of some help to you two."
"Thank you Téa." Atem smiled.
"For what?"
"For been a friend."
'A friend? I wanted to be something more.' Téa thought.
"Téa, are you okay?" Atem looked at her.
"Yes, I'm fine. I better get some sleep Good night, Atem."
"Good night." Atem replied as she also got up from the bed till he placed his hand on her shoulder. Téa looked at him.
"Yes?" She managed to say before his lips chased onto hers. Téa lay on the bed with Atem on top of her, hugging her waist tightly. Kissing back, Téa felt a pleasure like never before. She opened her mouth so Atem could enter a place, never before explored. Both moaning, she hugged his neck to bring him closer, if that was even possible.
After two minutes, they parted, both breathing heavily. Moving down to her neck, Atem kissed it as his hands made their way under her shirt. Téa didn't stop him. She was sure of her feelings for him. Moaning softly Atem almost removed her shirt till he stopped and got off of her. Téa gave him a puzzled look.
"Forgive me, Téa but…"
"Please don't. The last time I checked I was encouraging you."
"I have something to tell you." They both said.
"You go first." They said.
"I really like you, a lot." Atem said. "I have felt this way for a while now."
"I really like you too, Atem."
Atem leaned forward to kiss her lips. Parting he asked, "Do you want to go out with me, this Saturday?"
"Love too." Téa replied.
