Here's too another chapter. WooooHooooo! Hope you enjoy this one.

Previously…

His lips traveled upwards again trying to find her weakness, the portion of her body that when the touch of his lips caressed it, would make her scream out in ecstasy. Now kissing in between her breasts, he tried removing her bra one more time.

Trying to slip off the straps of her bra, the doorknob started shifting. Both heads turned at the sound wondering what lay behind that door.

A Friend in Need

At, the turning of their heads, the doorknob started shifting faster.

TEA'S POV

I looked over to the door in time to see it shake violently. Then it all came to me. What was I doing? Was I really going to go through with that? Should I be mad at the person behind the door or should I be grateful that he/she saved me from losing the most precious thing I have?

What happened to us? How did we loose control? More importantly, how did I loose control? I thought that I would be able to stop this if it ever happened. Soon, memories of our freshman health class swept over me.

I remember our teacher telling us that sex is not a game. And if it was, was there a loser? Would I have been the loser if the person behind that door didn't come when he/she did? I don't know Kaiba. At least, I don't know him completely. Would he have taken care of me? Or would he have thrown me away like yesterday's trash?

How did I loose control? How did we loose control like that? At school we are thought of as the toughest rivals with the strongest personalities. And here we were almost having sex. Was she under the influence of alcohol?

Most importantly, does Kaiba really love me? Or is it just a physical attraction?

NORMAL POV

Kaiba's eyes burned into the door, as if staring at it harshly will make the person go away. Soon, the knocking stopped. Kaiba and Téa both looked shocked surprised that the person, who seemed desperate to get inside, just left like that.

"Kaiba…." Téa said," what happened here?"

Kaiba looked back down at Téa. His eyes were filled with lust from previous attempts at sexual intercourse. Not only that, they were overflowing with such as confusion, worry, tired, wanting, puzzling, perplexing, and many more. Téa couldn't read them all.

Kaiba's hands reached over his head as he lifted himself off of Téa's body. He was frantically searching for an answer. He never looses control. He never does. That cannot be the answer to why they almost…did it.

Meanwhile, Téa was starting to feel uncomfortable again. After Kaiba got up from above her, she got up from the sofa and searched for her missing blouse. Kaiba turned when he felt the weight shift from the sofa.

He was disappointed when he found Téa putting on her blouse. But he couldn't disagree; it was awkward without the passion and heat behind it. After Téa finished buttoning her blouse, she picked up Kaiba's shirt and strode over to where he was still sitting. He looked bedazzled. She couldn't blame him though. It was weird almost having sex with your biggest enemies best friend.

She sat down next to him and handed Kaiba his shirt. He grasped it without saying thank you and put it on. Téa's eyes now dropped to the floor. She missed the feeling of warmth from his body.

"Kaiba…"

"Just shut up Téa. Shut the fuck up!"

Téa was shocked to hear him speak to her like that. She got up from the couch and went to the kitchen for a glass of water. After quenching her thirst, she picked up whatever was left of her belongings and walked over towards the door.

"I'll have my half of the assignment ready for you tomorrow at 6:30 am," Téa said.

Her hand reached for the doorknob, but before she could open it, a key was placed into the lock and the door was opened for her.

Jazz the manager stepped inside and took a look around. He saw Téa about to leave and he saw Kaiba in a daze sitting on the couch.

"Um.. Téa….did I ruin something?"

"No Jazz, you stopped it," Téa said with tears in her eyes as she jolted outside of the VIP room and ran down the stairs instead of using the elevator.

Jazz shut the door after one more glance at Kaiba's face, wondering what had just happened.

Téa continued to fly down the flights of stairs. She kept thinking to herself why do they have to put the VIP room at the top of the building?

She almost reached the bottom when she tripped over herself on the second to last step. All she wanted to do was cry when she hit the cold hard dance floor. But the cold hard dance floor never came. Instead she was resting her head on somebody's arm.

Téa looked up to see who had saved her from getting 20,000 bruises in the morning. She looked up through tear-swollen eyes and met Peter.

"Peter, is that you?" Téa asked.

"Ya….it's me…"

"Oh Peter!" she continued to wail into his chest.

"Shhh….it's ok Téa, everything will be ok."

Even though Téa had only known Peter for a couple of hours, those hours felt like Heaven. He was a great dancer and a great guy. The perfect guy. Very sweet and nice, and forgiving.

Peter carried Téa outside and sat her down in one of the benches. It was extremely dark and very cold. He noticed Téa shivering and took his jacket off. Téa felt immediate warmth as Peter placed the jacket over her small shivering frame.

Téa looked up and smiled at Peter's sincerity and kindness. She wondered if Kaiba would have done the same if he were here instead of Peter.

Peter looked down at Téa again and asked," Are you feeling a little better?"

Téa gave a slight nod.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really. But can I sit her a little longer with you?" Téa asked.

"Of course you can Téa. Of course you can."

Téa snuggled a little more closely with Peter. Peter, who was blushing slightly now, wrapped his arms around her and held her close.

PETER'S POV

She must have gone through hell for me to see her like this. Every time I saw her in school, she was always the tough one. The person that you would never see crying or the person who never lets down her shield.

The last I saw of her was when Kaiba carried her to the elevator to the third floor. The only things on the third floor are the VIP rooms.

OMG! Did Kaiba and her do it?

No that can't be. She can't loose her virginity to Kaiba. That would be stupid. He is the biggest jerk ass in all of the land.

Should I ask her, or would that be too sensitive and personal of a topic to start a conversation with. I swear to God that if Kaiba did something to her, I will shred him to pieces. Little tiny ones too.

I love this position. I have dreamed of having Téa in my arms like this for so long. Now my dream has come true. She has finally met the real me and I have finally gotten to know her better. Oh, she is stirring from her sleep, better stay awake for her.

NORMAL POV

Téa stirred a little enjoying the warmth emitting from Peter's body. He is so much sweeter than Kaiba. Téa pondered many questions about them. She decided to ask him then.

"Peter…"

"Hmmm…."

"What school do you go to?"

"I go to Domino High."

"REALLY!"

"Ya really. I have seen you around school," Peter mentioned," that's how I know your name if you were wondering."

"Oh. Have I seen you before?"

"Yes, actually we have. Do you remember the beginning of the year? I was walking through the hallway and Kaiba ran into me sending all of my belongings flying. Being the new kid, I wasn't sure if I should mess with that guy or not. So I didn't do anything about it. I went to go pick up my books and you bent down and helped me. You told me that Kaiba was a jerk wad and to watch out for him."

"Oh ya….I kind of remember that now. Wow! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you sooner."

"It's ok. But ever since then, I felt welcomed by you. I wanted to thank you once again for helping me that day. Now I don't regret moving here."

"Oh Peter. That is so sweet. So what do you want to do now?"

"Considering it is 4 in the morning, how about I drop you home?"

"IT'S 4 IN THE MORNING. I HAVE A REPORT DUE TOMORROW AND IF I DON'T FINISH IT, KAIBA IS GOING TO KILL ME. OH PLEASE PETER, CAN YOU TAKE ME HOME!"

"Don't sweat Téa, everything will be ok."

"Thanks so much Peter."

Téa gave Peter a great big bear hug; he blushed and let her to his car.

Peter opened the door to a midnight blue Infinity. The guy knew how to drive in style. Being a gentleman, Peter opened the door to the passenger's side and helped Téa inside. This man was truly one of a kind.

"Thanks Peter."

"No problem."

Peter then sat himself down on the driver's side and started the car. The drive was a quiet one. The only conversation was Téa giving the directions of her house to Peter. It was a 15 to 20 minute drive spent in silence and wonder.

Téa continually dazed off into her own world thinking of what Kaiba and her almost did tonight and why they did what they did. She only looked up when she knew what streets were coming up and had to tell Peter where to go.

Peter on the other hand was constantly stealing glances at Téa, wondering if she was ok or not. At the bench she said she was feeling better. He hoped that she wasn't lying. He was genuinely worried for her. He wanted to help her like she helped him.

Peter stopped his car in a parking lot. When Téa looked up she realized that instead of parking at the house, he parked in front of a 24 hour Starbucks.

"Do you want anything to drink Téa? You do have to work on that project, don't you?"

"Sure Peter. I'll have whatever you are having. Thanks," Téa replied in a trance.

She watched him open the door and place the order to the cashier. A couple of minutes later, he came back outside carrying two cups of a drink. She didn't know what it was. Hopefully, the thought, something strong to keep her up.

Téa thought thank goodness today is Friday. I'll be able to sleep in as long as I want to tomorrow.

He placed the cups on top of his car and opened the door. When he sat down, he handed one of the cups to Téa immediately warming her hands up.

"Thanks so much Peter. You know, no one else would have done this for me. I've only known you for a few hours, and yet I feel I can trust you with anything."

Peter looked at her directly in the eye," If you truly feel that way, why don't you tell me what happened. One this is for sure that when you tell me it will feel like a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders."

Téa looked at him. He was right. If she felt she could trust him that much now, then she should be able to tell him. Maybe he can help.

"Ok…I'll tell you."

Peter leaned in closer and shut the door so they could get some privacy. It was obvious that whatever she had to say wasn't going to be easy.

Téa took a deep breath and started the story.

"Ok so in my health class, Kaiba and I were assigned to be partners in teaching the class about a certain section in our textbook. It just so happens that our section dealt with having safe sex."

Peter replied," Oh, I see. Go on."

"Ok. So we finished the first part of the report at Kaiba's a few nights ago. Then it was my turn to do the other half. I decided that we should interview the professionals such as people at a bar. Because I am guessing they know the most about this stuff."

"Ok."

"Then when Kaiba and I got here tonight things started getting a little heated between us. I headed out to the dance floor, I danced a couple of songs, and then Kaiba almost tries to rape me."

"And that was when I came outside right?"

"Right Peter. After I punched Kaiba I conducted a few interviews and went outside to see if Kaiba was still there. He was. He apologized for his actions and we went back inside again. He still owed me a dance and so I pulled him on to the dance floor. Then we made a bet. If I couldn't convince him to stay in the next minute, we would leave."

"And I'm guessing you convinced him."

"Ya I did. It was then that things started getting a little more passionate between us. I passed out from the lack of energy from previous dances and Kaiba carried me upstairs to his reserved VIP room."

Peter said," He planned that room before hand?"

Téa replied," Ya. That is one thing that still bothers me. Is how did he know? Anyways, he carried me upstairs. I don't know what happened but then we started making out and then we started undressing in a teasing manner."

Peter responded in shock," You were going all the way with him?"

"Ya, we were just about too when we heard a knock on the door. We both looked up shocked to see where and what we had just done and what we might have done with each other. It shocked both of us. I asked Kaiba what happened but he told me to shut the fuck up. So I got up and drank some water. Then I told him he would have his report in the morning. Then I ran outside and you broke my fall. Then you know the rest."

"Wow," Peter gestured," you really went through some shit tonight. I never thought it could happen like that."

He grabbed Téa's hand and held onto it tight, then gave a reassuring squeeze," If you ever need to talk about anything like that to me, feel free to give me a call or just talk to me when you see me."

"Peter. I don't know what I would have done without you. I don't know what to say."

"How about you finish your coffee and I take you home so you can finish your report and get maybe an hour or two of sleep. Don't want you looking like shit in the morning."

"Thanks so much."

"No problem."

The ride from the coffee shop to Téa's house was a lot more vibrant. Peter and Téa got to know each other more and by the end of the trip, they felt like they have known each other forever. They truly were close friends now.

Peter pulled up in front of Téa's driveway. After unbuckling her seatbelt, she leaned in towards Peter and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you so much Peter. I don't know what I would've done without you."

Following the kiss, Peter placed his hands on Téa's face and leaned in to close the opening between their lips. Their lips touched in a blissful kiss. Téa was surprised at his actions but just as quickly gave into the kiss.

This was nothing like the kiss Kaiba had given her. She enjoyed this one much more. It was more passionate and gentle than rough and full of lust instead of love.

She opened her mouth to allow entrance to Peter's tongue. But Peter knew that if this went any farther, he would end up hurting Téa the way Kaiba hurt her. He didn't want that at all. He immediately broke the kiss once he sensed Téa trying to deepen it.

"What…." Téa wondered.

"I don't want to hurt you like Kaiba did. I'm flattered that you let me have that kiss. But I think you have had enough tension for tonight."

"Actually Peter, that kiss relaxed me. Since you are being so modest, can I ask for another one?"

"Sure, as long as you won't come out of the house crying and yelling at me."

Téa gave a little giggle and once again kissed Peter with all the passion that she could muster. He took all of her grief, her troubles, her problems, and her worries. He promised he would take care of her, and he is. Peter took all of it in.

They finally broke the kiss. She said a last thanks and left the car.

She took out the keys from her purse and turned the handle. When she went inside she locked the door and went towards the kitchen to grab a bite to eat considering that she didn't eat after she left the house to go to the club. When she turned on the lights the felt hands grab her from behind. She tried to scream, but a hand covered her mouth.

Could there be some competition for Kaiba now? Who do you think will win? Have to continue reading to find out.

I gotta love my cliffies. Can you guess who it is? A gift to anyone who knows! I really mean it too. I shall surprise you with a present if you guess the right answer. Well, that didn't take as long as I thought it would take.
