Moments later dance remixes played. From Michael Jackson, to Mariah Carey. Joey and I became dance partners. At this point I had no clue on what I was doing. I was not a party person but the drinks turned me into one. Just then the song Get Right by Jlo began to play.

"Jade what are ya.. Ya doing?" Joey managed to say, he was as drunk as I was. I got up on the table and started dancing to the song. Just then all the attention was focused on me.

"Yeah you go girl!" Tristan yelled.

"Jade dance away baby!" Mai said. I began to take off my gloves and threw them at the audience. Kaiba pulls me down from the table.

"Aw come on man!" I heard a few voices say and to cover this act Mai began to dance on the table. She was not as drunk as most of us.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!" he practically screamed at me.

"Mr. Kaiba I suggest you let her go" William said.

"Leave me alooone!" I said in a kid like tone.

"Jade please come with me" William took me by the arm.

"You came in with her and couldn't take care of her!"
"I am not her babysitter. Maybe you should ask her why she is like this," he said.

"Jade" This is when I was slowly getting back to my senses.

"Shouldn't you go back to your girlfriend Kaiba?"
"She left with Mr. Warren"
"Oh and you thought you'd be superman today right? Let go off me!" I shoved him off and ran upstairs. I did not think he would follow me but he did. I went inside a random room (looks like a living room) to cry but before I could close the door he held it open. I was too weak to fight. He closes the door behind him.

"Jade what's wrong with you? What, did you want to show yourself off to everybody?"

"Oh like you'd care"
"Jade you're being a child"
"You're the one that's acting like a complete amateur! You danced with her OUR song! Or did you forget it was our song?" I could not hold back my tears. I began to hit his chest; he took me in his arms and held me tight.

"Jade I'm trying to forget about you but how can I? I come to this party and I see you with him. How do you think I feel?"
"This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for our damb divorce Kaiba! You could have giving us time! You could've giving me time!"
"I couldn't risk another incident like that Jade. You were carrying my child; you lost it and almost lost your own life for heavens sake!" He said in a loud tone. I pulled him away.

"Kaiba just leave me alone"
"I want to but having you here, right next to me I can't" he steps closer to me, I try to step back but he quickly grabs me by my arm and pulls me into a kiss. I try to pull away, I try not to give in but he was to strong for me. He kissed me with such love, such passion that I was dying to do the same but I managed not to.

"It's him isn't it?" he pulls me back.

"What are you talking about?"
"That pretty boy and you have something going on"
"Believe whatever you want Kaiba" I said without looking at him.

"I demand to know," he said in his jealous tone.
"Have I asked you about your relationship with Umeki, no I haven't and I wish that you'd respect my relationship with William"
"Tell me"

"We have both obviously changed over the time Kaiba, you're with your remarkable Umeki, and I mean it when I say that. She does not deserve what we are doing right now. She is the right one for you Kaiba. She will give you everything I could not. I wish you the best of luck"
"You don't mean that"
"I do and I also wish that next time we cross paths for you to act as if we were strangers"
"Please don't tell me that Jade"
"Why not, if every word I'm saying is true"

"But the things you said earlier"
"I mean them to but they are all part of the past. The past that did no good to us, that ended up destroying what we so called had"
"So called had?"
"Good bye Kaiba" I walk out the door and headed downstairs… The party was still going on but all I wanted to do was to bury myself underground.

"Jade" I hear William's sweet voice.

"William I'm sorry. I came here with you and look what happened"
"Jade, I know you're going through a lot. I don't want to but in because I respect you but whenever you need help you know I'm here for you" I could not help but hug him. He lightly hugs me back.

"Thank you William"
"I'll take you home okay" I looked at William, I was happy he was by my side.

"I was thinking that you probably hated me right know"
"Not at all Jade, why would I feel that towards you?" he looked at me with kind eyes. I got inside his car and he does the same.

"Because I came here as your date, I get drunk and danced like a maniac and to top it all off I was in that small living room upstairs with Kaiba that's why. I practically ignored you"

"Cupcake I know you didn't mean all of that and besides if you're saying that, then that means I wasn't completely ignored"

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"You thought about me and my feelings," I did think about him and Umeki. Umeki because she loved Kaiba but as for William… I had no clue why. Sure, he was my friend but sometimes he felt like more than just a friend. I looked at him and he looked at me as well.

"I'm so confused William"
"So am I" we did not say a word throughout the whole ride. What did he mean by that?


"You stayed because of her right Kaiba?" I said as soon as he came inside his door. Obviously, he was surprised to see me in his house, well mansion.

"Yes so?" It hurt me that he did not deny this.
"What happened" I expected him to lie to me but instead he told me the truth without much consideration.

"Jade and I had a talk we kissed and parted our ways" He said bluntly.
"And you tell me this just like that?" I said in anger… Jade just had to be there!

"I don't want to lie to you Umeki"
"I would've preferred that Kaiba, you know my feelings towards you and you do this to me… But I bet it was your ex-wife that put you up to it right?"
"No I kissed her but she didn't kiss me back. As of matter of fact she had kind words about you" this surprised me… In addition, I was curious to know what she said.

"What did she say?" I said in a low tone.

"She called you a remarkable woman, that you and I were meant for each other and that she wished us nothing but the best" yeah right she was probably lying to him.

"She lies"
"She was serious and besides she moved on with the guy she was with" he said in a sad tone. I believed her words because of his sad reaction. These two obviously still had feelings for one another but it was not the same anymore. She has another man in her life and slowly, she was moving on. Sure, that man may be handsome but not like my Kaiba. I went up to him and hugged him. He actually hugs me back.

"I'm sorry Kaiba"
"You have your right to be mad, now please let me be"

"I want to stay with you tonight Kaiba" he looked at me; I wanted him to forget this night and for him to move on, the way Jade was managing to do. He was doing fine, until he saw her again. I was a fool I know, but a fool in love.
