Chapter 14

Open- heart talking at Coffee Shop

" It's not opening time for coffee shop!" I shouted at Kaiba or Seto Kaiba who dragged me from convenient store to the coffee shop called ' Domino Coffee'. His large gripped around my wrist tightly like a steel cuff which made me have to let him drag me around like a small child. The bell made a sound as Seto opened the door of the shop, ignore the sign on the it that written ' Closed'.

" Excuse me, sir. Our shop isn't available at this time. Please come back again at 9AM." The old man who seemed to be the owner of this shop who dressed white shirt and black apron which reached to his knee said politely as he raised his hand to stop Seto. However, Seto grasped the man's hand and put some money in his hand.

The owner looked confused and when he saw the amount of money that Seto gave him. He smiled widely.

" Please follow me..." He bowed at Seto a little before leaded us to find the seat until Seto stopped at the seat which were the two comfortable sofas with the large coffee table were set between them. I sat on the nearest sofa while Seto sat another one across mine.

" Ahh...Great choice for the seat, sir." The owner praised him and walked to get two menu books for us. I nodded and gave him a small smile for thank you and apologizing to him about the man who supported to say sorry or be nice to the owner at least. I sent my angry glare at him but he seemed to ignore it and opened the menu book in hand carelessly.

I sighed inwardly and looked at the menu. Then, I closed it very quickly which caused the owner looked at me confusedly. I smiled sheepishly before returned the menu book to him.

' Black Coffee COST 500 YENS! BLACK MECIAN IS GAY! I don't have a lot of money like someone here to drink such an expensive coffee like this! ' I felt my sweat dropped when I thought about the price of the coffee.

Seto closed the menu book softly in rich manner and put it in the owner's hand who took it to its place and came back again.

" So, what would like sir ?"

" I would like Espresso. No cream. No sugar. And, a club sandwich for me." Seto ordered his foods and his drinks normally. I felt like my jaw was about to drop since the foods he ordered would cost more than 500 even you excluded the drinks.

" Okay. What about you, young lady?"

" Em...mineral water ,please?" I smiled sheepishly when the owner frowned at my order.

" She kinda just got back from overseas so she still felt dizzy from jet lag. I took her here to have some breakfast and then, we will go home." I looked at Seto with amazement how he could lie through his teeth smoothly until I remembered that he used to tell a lie to destroy my life.

' That bastard still had that skill...' I thought angrily.

" Yes, I would like some mineral water. Also, I want American Breakfast Set A and Earl Grey tea, please." I ordered my menus, ignoring Seto's glare. The owner seemed to notice it and bow slightly before he went to proceed it.

I turned my head to meet stoic blue eyes. I glared back without fear and decided to look at other shop that were slowly opened like they woke up from the sleep and started to do their duties just like previous days over and over again normally.

" Kumiko." The cold voice called the name that wasn't belong to me.

" Still couldn't distinguish me and my sister, huh?" I sighed inwardly at him. Even Seto and I had knew each other more than eight years, he still couldn't tell who is me and my twin sister, Kumiko.

Seto coughed softly to hide his embarrassment and took a deep breath to cool himself down from anger. I knew he always do that so he would not to take it out on me or Mokuba, Seto's young brother whenever we cause some trouble or pulled some pranks on him.

" Yeah. Whatever." I rolled my eyes at his stubbornness.

" Let's get to the point. I'm sure that you didn't just drag me to here for treating some nice coffee and then, called me ' Kumiko' so that I correct it for you..." I said jokingly but deep down in my heart, I wanted to scream in his face for saying that name.

" I saw you back in the game in the new game shop."

" Heh! Saw me? You stalked me just like what you did many years ago for ONE THING." I let out my humorless laugh at his excuse.

Seto seemed to suppress his anger and continued to talk with me

" Yes and no. I saw you through the computer. But look, I didn't intend to stalk you about that anymore. I just accidentally bumped into you when my computer reported about your dueling."

" What?!" I exclaimed which was loud enough to make the elder owner heard me. Seto looked at me annoyingly for my voice but I didn't care. This man invaded my personal space enough.

" You...spy on me...by the computer?" I said through my gritted teeth, feeling fear that he would try to continue what he had left many years ago. Seto seemed to see my fear clearly written on my face and decided to change his gesture by stopping make a cold face to me and using friendly tone.

" I didn't, okay?. My job is to make sure that after my dueling machine were rented, it wouldn't be disassembled or had some peasant game company copied my idea or stole my technology by using GPS tracking and hidden camera to see what happened. That's why I saw you dueled with Mutou Yugi." Seto explained his reason how he found me even I didn't believe him but it still made sense since he was the CEO of Kaiba corp.

" Alright. Let's say that I believe you. Then tell me, why do you brought me here?" I paused when I saw the owner served our menus on the table slowly. Right now, I ignored my conversation with him as my stomach growled once the smell of pancakes, fried eggs, and fried beacon came into my nostril. I felt my saliva nearly came out but I licked it back before I started to cut some piece of pancakes and put them into my mouth. I moaned softly as I tasted softness of pancakes when I chewed them before I swallowed them slowly. However, Seto ate his Club Sandwiches without making any sound and chewed them indifferently.

" Don't you like your foods?" Seto looked at me a little before raised his brows and shrugged his shoulders. From many that I had been a friend with Seto, he never talked or did any body language while eating foods.

" Actually, it's okay. But, I don't need to show how delicious of these foods like someone" I sticked my tongue out and continued eating my breakfast.

" Well, part of me is Chinese beside Thai and Japanese so I want to express my opinion about the food to the owner who is kind enough to open the shop for us." I retorted back. But, I somehow felt that he did that to low the tension between our conversation. I looked my foods, trying to process why he dragged me to such an expensive coffee shop. I presumed that it was expensive because of its decoration that the owner wanted to make its look like some classic tea shop in Europe.

I looked at Seto again to ask why he brought me but he seemed to space out as he looked at view from the window of this shop. Maybe I should say thank you to him for treating me.

" Hey...Thank you for the breakfast..." I said to even it came out like a whisper but I had tried to show him that I felt grateful for him. Seto seemed to flinch at my words a little but didn't say anything until he finished his sandwiches and cleaned his fingers with wet tissue that the shop provided for their customers after they had finished their foods.

" Make some lunch boxes for her. And, include it into the receipt." The owner nodded and complied with his request.

" No No No! It's okay. I will have that instant lunch box from the convenient store. I don't need that." I said frantically. That's lunch box was more expensive than

" Lunch box : Set A to go. And, wrap it carefully." Seto ignored me and drank his espresso. I sighed...again for third time..I guessed...This man always made me have a headache whenever we met even we were on good term or bad term of the relationship.

" Okay, let's go back to the our topic. If you didn't after me for that, why are we here?" Seto looked at me a little before he looked back at his espresso in cup quickly as if he tried to avoid from my eyes as much as possible. He stared at his coffee until he placed it on the saucer with soft 'clink' sound.

" I..." Seto tried to say something but he frowned a little like there was something stop him from saying it. His expression looked confused about his action and tried to find the reason why he did this...

I decided to put my hand on his that still held the cup of espresso and gave him my genuine smile. Seto seemed to be shocked at my action but didn't say anything.

" If it's hard to explain, that's okay. Just...just please let me go...I don't want to be the part of your pain or the thing that haunted you..." I gripped his hand tightly to reassure him before I slowly stood up.

" I'm sorry..." I stopped and looked at Seto with my widen eyes, shocking that the man who never apologize to anyone would say these words to me...

I felt speechless and my brain seemed to stop working at his words. I blinked my eyes unbelievingly that he would press his lips together anxiously a little before it turned into annoyingly when he saw that I was dumbstruck. I chuckled softly and gave him a small smile.

" I forgive you..." Seto's lip formed into a small line as the corner of his lip rose up like a small smile like me before he took a sip of his espresso to finish it...

…...

I admitted that this part Kaiba would sound OOC for you guys because he never say sorry to anyone (Well, at least he said to his brother, right?* looking around for anyone who agree with me*)

While I was writing this chapter, the song named ' Sorry' by Chris Daughtry played into my head when I tried to write the part about the conversation of Seto and my OC. In this part, Seto wanted to apologize for something he had caused to my OC and her sister for something which you had to keep reading. PLEASE R&R for me and I hope you enjoy this story!
