Chapter 10

Previous chapter

"Stop! Please just stop it!" I watched Serenity yell. I also watched as Seto turned his head towards to her.

"I know you don't like my brother but could you please not insult him or at least not in front of me." I watched as Seto's head bobbed up and down, obviously looking her up and down.

"Sure." He answered. Then I watched as he walked away. I heard Viv's jaw drop to the ground but all I could do is stare at him in disbelief.

End of previous chapter

(Paris hotel)

(Kisara pov)

I watched as Seto made his way to an oblivious happy couple. I was even surprised that someone at the party who didn't see what just happened. Right now everybody was talking about it, whispering in low voices, staring and pointing at both Seto and me.

They were a lucky couple. They were oblivious of to what just happened. I wished I could be that oblivious but the situation didn't call for it. I did not have the option or the choice to. And if I did act oblivious my heart would only ache more and Seto would continue what he was doing all the while hurting me. It was not worth it.

Plucking up the courage, I slowly walked towards Seto and the oblivious couple.

While I was walking towards Seto, I noticed he was walking towards a new couple. I knew he was trying to talk to all the business partners as soon as he could. He was always impatient one.

I caught up to him quickly and found myself facing his back. For some reason that scared me. Like he was leaving me and I never would see him again.

Shaking those negative thoughts out of my head, I reached my hand out and let my index finger tap his broad shoulder.

I watched as he turned around, his eyes stared at me with this unknown emotion and confusion. I wished I knew what he was thinking but it seemed like I couldn't read him like an open book like I used to. But then again I didn't know exactly what he was thinking then and it was only worse now.

"Can we talk?" I asked. Seto nodded his head.

I turned my back to him and walked to the back door where the gardens are. I didn't like my back facing him either.

(The gardens)

We stood in the garden; my back was facing the now blooming cherry blossom tree. Seto was in front of me staring at me worriedly.

I turned my back on Seto and let my hand wander around the hardened bark. The tree for some odd gave me strength and courage I needed. I guess it was because it reminded myself of me. Beautiful, different and yet at the same time strong. But right now I didn't feel strong. I was scared. Scared for the future, scared for my past and scared for my present. I was afraid and frightened but this tree proved that even when your bare, your still beautiful and strong, during the worst winds and snow storms.

I turned myself to face Seto. I could do this. If I could get shot and live to tell the tale then I could talk about a simple matter with my year long boyfriend.

"Can you tell me what that was about?" I asked in a calm and cold voice that rivaled Seto's. I watched as he winced and looked me in the eye.

Then his emotion changed. It changed from one of worry to disbelief.

"Do you think that I hold my opinion of her, higher than yours?" I just looked him in the eye, a cold look and I saw him wince. "I don't! I never, ever will! I was just humoring her. I don't need to loose a maid when I have a perfectly capable one." And your about to loose a perfectly capable girlfriend I thought in the safety of my mind.

"I love you. I will and forever love you. Nothing and no one will change you" He placed his hands on my arms and looked me straight in the eyes. "I love you and respect your every opinion." I was about to retaliate when he spoke again. "I know what you're going to say. Whenever I'm with you I never insult anyone and I especially don't call Joey, dog boy, no matter how much I want to"

He then wrapped his arms his warm tone arms around my waist and pulled me to his chest.

"I love you and nothing will change that." I wrapped my arms around his waist and clutched the fabric of his shirt. I felt my heart pound in my chest and my breath catch in my throat. He just spoke those three words over again and I could tell the serenity in his voice.

I felt a wetness in my eyes and I held back the tears. Everything was so right. All the words reassuring and serene, the hug was warm and comforting, the way he rubbed circles in my back, the way I laid my head on his chest and held him close to my heart, it was all right. So why did it feel so wrong? Like something or someone was in the way.

We stayed this way for what felt like eternity but eternity seemed so short when he pulled away and gently kissed my forehead, his lip warm against my unusually cold flesh.

"Now I need to go check the rest of the guest." And as I watched him walk down the path, I decided that I didn't like staring at his retreating back. I didn't like walking him walk away at all because it made me realize I was slowly losing him.

So what do you guys think? Only two more chapters of the party and we go onto a whole new drama. You guys need to review.
