Chapter 10
10 minutes had already passed since Téa and Mai arrived at Body Works and Mai was loving it. Strong, firm hands massaged her tender, soft feet while a petite female did her fingernails. Living like the rich and famous was in fact very appealing to her now. It was so unusual but yet exciting. Téa was used to it, so used to it that most of the employees knew her by name and they greeted her in a friendly way. She did in fact come by weekly and spent at least 500.00. Who wouldn't be happy to see her?
But what was bothering the few customers that Téa saw all the time she came and the employees, was the large bandage that was situated so inconveniently on the side of her face. Everyone was curious, but afraid to ask why, except one of the richest gossips of the town: Mrs. Glades. She was a 45 year old that was looking like 25. The only reason that she was this rich and could afford the vast amounts of surgeries to look that young, was because of her late husband Mr. Howard Glades. He was the one responsible for lighting the country. It was said that she had poisoned her 79 year old husband, but unfortunately for the rest the country, the investigators could not tag the murder on her and so she was as free as a song bird living off his well earned money. It was also said that that she was after Seto for his riches as well but unfortunately for her he was madly in love with Téa, her rival.
She ran up to Téa as if going mad, still in her robe after her expensive seaweed massage and hugged her tightly.
"My dear! What has happened to your face? It looks a mess!!"
Téa jus held the bandage in embarrassment as this lady shouted at the top of her voice wanting everyone to hear her.
"It's nothing really... I...I just scraped myself..."
All Mai could do at that moment was look at them, she knew what really happened but if Mrs. Glades knew, no one hear the end of it. And it would be an opportunity for her to try and catch Seto just like Serenity was attempting.
"A scrape!! That's ridiculous!! How could that happen?"
It was now time for Mia to cut in the conversation and save the friend that was spending so much money on her this afternoon.
"Yes it was a scrape...You see, she was scratching an itch and scraped herself with her razor-sharp fingernail... That's...that's the reason that she's down here today...to get a good pedicure so she won't make that mistake again... hehehe..."
Mai just hoped that the stupid lady would fall for the even more stupid excuse that really made no sense.
Seeing to it that she was not going to get her way, she left it at that. All she did was walk away and went in a room.
"Thanks Mai, really."
"No problem." She smiled.
An hour passed and Mai was deep in relaxation as her hair was being done.
"Are you enjoying this, Mai?"
Mai was too engulfed in the fact that she was being titivated to the max for free. She was already imaging how happy Joey would be to see her looking even more beautiful.
"I love it!! Thank you!!"
Téa blushed a little.
"It's nothing really. That's what friends are for." She smiled sweetly at Mai.
Mai still wondered why Joey was acting so suspiciously towards her and towards Téa. It was since he went over their mansion a day ago. Her mind quickly strayed back to Seto hitting his darling wife. It was still fresh in her mind from last night, up to the time of Seto's calls. She knew how much he changed for Téa. It was such a dramatic change. He even began donating wads of cash to dozens of charity with his whole heart. She smiled when she remembered the time he was on TV cursing the Japanese President about donating some money to a children's home, saying what did the children do for him when he was at his low. Wow, what a change. Mai could hear the hurt, sadness and worry in his voice when she spoke to him the night before. She knew he loved her and that it was an accident that he had hit her. She remembered the first time she saw them out...
FLASHBACK
Mai was shopping with a miserable Joey. He hated shopping and even worse than that, Sunday football was on and he was missing it for THIS. She was buying some fruits when she say Téa literally skip to the next isle. Mai looked puzzled for a moment. She looked even more puzzled when she saw Seto Kaiba going in the same isle with a cute smile on his face.
Curiosity got the best of her and she just had to find out what was going on. Joey was too busy in the drink isle looking for beers. When she reached the isle, she saw them holding hands and looking for cereal. To be noticed, she made a little cough and they both turned around.
"Mai! Hi!"
'Yea that's a nice way to greet me with Mr. Satan Kaiba beside you.'
"Hi Téa. How are you?" She looked at Seto. "Hi... Mr. Kaiba?"
Seto smiled at her and held Téa's hand tighter. He was somewhat new to the world as tea's boyfriend. He didn't really know how anyone would take it but all he knew was that he was a happy guy. This was their first appearance as a couple and it had to be done right.
"You can call me Seto. And hi." He smiled nicely again.
She looked at both of them in an odd way.
"So what's this?" Obviously talking to the both of them
Téa laughed. "Well... Seto and I decided that we should be together and this is us." She smiled.
"Yea I really care for Téa, and I didn't want anyone getting her." He blushed.
"No offence or anything but I would never imagine..."
"Yea I'm teaching him to be good." She looked up at him. Isn't that right, hon?
"Yea I'm adjusting to her super kind heart. " He laughed aloud and everyone in the distance looked around at them.
"Wow. The world can be good after all. Well Joey's probably getting angry 'cause I took him away from his football, I gotta go."
Just as she took off, she saw Joey standing at the end of the isle in bewilderment. He approached the group.
"Téa! How are you? It's been a while."
"It's been since yesterday... Joey."
"You told me you were going to a basketball match..."
"I did go... so anyway... why is he here?"
"I'm making dinner for him tonight so we're shopping."
"Why'd you make dinner for this loser?"
Seta was trying his utmost best to not punch him in the face. He could get used to all of Téa's friends, but not this idiot.
"They're together honey."
"Together? Yea right! You'd tell me, wouldn't you Téa?"
Téa was hiding behind Seto now.
"Well I didn't get the chance... I mean... we got together a little after you and I talked yesterday. When you saw me I was heading for his house..."
"What the FU—"
"Well we gotta go now. Bye guys!"
She dragged Joey out the supermarket as fast as she could.
END FLASHBACK
All Mai knew was that if their love didn't make it, no love could. She made up her mind right there that she would put her all in getting them back together.
The doorbell rang twice for the day and it was the same guest as before: Serenity Wheeler. Madeline welcomed her in and she waited in the living room. She always admired the living room. It was gorgeous. She should be the one living in this house with him, not that bitch.
She thought she dressed well for the occasion as well. She wasn't over dressed and neither was she underdressed. Nothing too skimpy nor too cover up. She thought she was perfect.
Seto came down the stairs and saw her. He'd already known what he was going to do.
"You're here. Wonderful."
"Yes. Just as you asked."
She was about to hug him, but he stopped her. He dread touching females that weren't Téa. He felt like it was cheating even though it clearly wasn't.
"We will have lunch in the dining room, follow me."
She followed him quietly until they reached. Even though he didn't want to, the gentleman inside him pulled out the beautifully carve and decorated chair for her. She thought it was a gesture of some new found love for her. Heck, it must have been because Téa was gone and he wasn't even looking for her.
They began to talk and made very VERY light conversation.
He excused himself for a minute or two, praying his plan would work. If he did, he'd have this in the bag. Score 1 for Seto!
She pulled out her cell phone and dialled a number, then put the phone to her ears. Part one of his plan was in action. The person she was calling would be part two.
"Big Bro!! Guess whose place I'm at!!"
Part two initiated! She fell right in his trap.
"Yea it is! I think he's finally come to his senses about us... No I won't, this might be my last chance with him...Make me! Come over here and make me!!...I shouldn't have called you!" then she hung up.
His planned worked exactly the way he wanted. He came back in the room, they finished the lunch and he asked her nicely to leave. Operation: Get back Téa was in full force.
