Chapter Nine
Seto had left for Kaiba Corp early the next morning to get some things done when Tea woke up. She found a red rose on her pillow and as she brought it to her face she smiled. Samuel woke up and asked "who give you pretty flower mommy?"
Tea gave her son a hug and said "Seto did, isn't it pretty?" Samuel then said "mommy here" he gave her a piece of paper and on it she read. Tea, please have dinner with me tonight. I want to take you to a nice restaurant. This rose is to tell you how much I love you. Seto.
Samuel got up and went to the bathroom and when he came back he said "hurry, me hungry." Tea smiled and got ready and they went down stairs to breakfast. Helga smiled and said "there's my little man, want some pancakes for breakfast?" Samuel smiled and shook his head yes.
I sat there watching my son eat and all I could think about was going out tonight with Seto and then it hit me, I didn't have anything to wear and not enough money to pay for anything. I felt someone tap me on the shoulder and when I looked up, there stood Roland and he whispered to me "after breakfast, I'm taking you and Samuel shopping and don't say no, because you know that I'll win that argument." She smiled and wiped away a tear and she kissed his cheek. Roland had become more like the father she wished her own father would be like. She told him "we'll be ready in about one hour." He nodded and went to sit down and eat.
After breakfast, Tea got Samuel cleaned up and told him that Roland was taking them to the Mall, and he got so excited he started jumping around till she told him to stop. Samuel smiled and said "alright mommy, me love you."
Roland told her "get what ever you think that you both will be needing. I have to run an errand for Helga, here's a credit card to use. See you in about thirty minutes." He then left her standing there. They walked into the first store and she bought Samuel a new pair of shoes, some underwear, socks, a new pair of pants and a couple of t-shirts. She paid for the things and then they went to get her some underwear, hoses, shoes and she saw the perfect dress, but the price made her want to cry. It cost to much and when she walked away from it, she heard "you deserve that dress, so get it and matching heels too." There stood Seto and Mokie. Tea wiped her face and when she went to pay for the things she needed, the Clerk said "do you have any I.D. and when she showed it to him, he said this isn't your name on this card." He then called Security and when the Officer came up he scared the hell out of Samuel and Seto heard him cry and rushed over to see what was going on.
Seto saw some strange man hassling Tea and Samuel was crying he went over and demanded "to know what the hell was the problem?" The Clerk was new and didn't know who he was, but the Manager did and when he tried to soothe Seto, he just said "we're taking our business elsewhere!" The Manger tried to talk him out of it, but no one did that to Tea and got away with it. She was nearly in tears herself and he put his arm around her and he had Samuel in the other arm. They went over to a small store and Tea found what she wanted and the dress was even more beautiful and she paid for the things and they walked outside to wait for Roland.
" Seto, I thought that you were busy today?" Tea said.
Seto smiled at her and he said "I got done early and wanted to come see you and Samuel." Samuel had his arms around Seto's neck and he had finally stopped crying and he said "me no like that man." Seto and Tea smiled and she said "I didn't like him either." Roland got back and when he saw Seto there, he knew that they had some trouble and when he found out what it was about, he said "here's the keys to the car, I'll be right there." He walked back into the store where the Clerk was so nasty to Tea and he told the Manager "either you fire that idiot, or I'll bring harassment charges against this store. You made my daughter and grandson cry and that will never happen again, is that understood?" Then he walked out of the store and went to drive them home.
Roland apologized for what happened and Tea smiled and said "that's alright." She smiled as she saw the packages he was carrying and she asked "those all for Helga?" Roland smiled and said "that woman always wants thing that she will never ever use." They all laughed as they went home.
Seto and Roland carried the things she bought up stairs as she and Samuel followed. She thanked them and went about putting all the things away. She stood in front of the mirror and held the dress up against her and smiled at what she saw. Samuel walked over to her and he said "you real pretty mommy." She gave him a hug and they went downstairs and outside so that Samuel could play till it was time for lunch.
