Thanks for the reviews guys=) Hope you like this grand chapter!
I walked up to Joey and Mai and sat with them. I did not want to be near Johnny… However, he was smarter. Since there was music, he asked me to dance. I declined but Johnny kept insisting.
"My petite Jade please don't break this beautiful soul over here and do me the honor of dancing with me" He says.
"Yeah Jade go have fun honey" Joey said… Obviously, Joey did not see Johnny's true intentions. Mai however did.
"If she doesn't want to dance with him then let it be" just then I see Cecilia walk in.
"Cecilia how are you!" I run up to her and hug her.
"Good and you Jade?" She asks.
"I have a lot to tell you!"
"I can see that… Who's this?" Johnny asks.
"Um… Johnny this is my dear friend Cecilia. Cecilia Johnny" I said, introducing them to one another.
"Pleasure is all mine" He says.
"What time is it? Kaiba expects me back" I said.
"The boss and you are spending a lot of time together I see" she smirks at me.
"Ha ha don't get any funny ideas"
"Like what I was just saying?" She giggles.
"You spend a lot of time with Kaiba I see?" Johnny comments.
"Yes strictly business" I reply.
"My petite Jade I don't think it's healthy for a girl like you to spend so much time with a man like him. I mean you could catch his bad attitude" he chuckled. I looked at him with a serious face.
"I have to go you guys" I said.
"Ya won't stay and eat Jade?" Joey asks.
"I'm sorry but I really have to go you two"
"Take care and thanks for coming" Mai said.
"Bye Atem, bye Tea" they waved goodbye at me.
"Bye Cecilia"
"So soon…! We barely see each other now!" she pouts.
"Then stop by the clinic later" I said.
"No I'll go with you. I will stop by here later. Today is my day off!" she said with excitement.
"My Petite Jade forgive me. I didn't mean to insult Kaiba" Johnny apologizes.
"I'm not mad. I just have to get going. I'll see you soon Johnny" I quickly walked out the door with Cecilia.
"What was that all about? Why does that guy make you nervous?" Cecilia asks.
"He told me he so called likes me" I replied.
"Oh did he now?"
"Yeah… And to top it all of he is William's step brother"
"WHAT! No way tell" She says with excitement.
"Look this is William's personal business and if he wants to tell you then let him"
"He is your boyfriend so you have a right to tell me"
"We are taking some time apart" On our way back to the clinic, I told her why William and I were taking time apart. I only told her about the US part.
"So what do you feel for the boss?" She asked as we came in to my office. I was hoping he was not there.
"Thank heaven he isn't here" I said, trying to avoid her question.
"Answer me Jade!" I close the door. I couldn't take it anymore... i knew Cecilia wasn't going to leave me be until she heard the truth.
"I still love him. The same way I did once… It has never changed. Now I know that William to me is a beautiful dream. A dream I could not let go. When he sung to me that day in Peru my dreams came true you know, but he isn't the one who has my heart." I confessed in anger.
"The boss does huh?" She says with a smirk on her face.
"Yeah… But he deserves someone better"
"Someone better...?"
"Yes someone that's beautiful and more presentable to be with. Someone who shares his same interests someone who will have eyes only for him" I said in a sad tone.
"Wait don't tell me you feel bad that ya fell for William" She asks.
"I do" I reply.
"Jade look… It is not your fault you fell for him, the boss was not there for you. William was the one to help you get back up, the one that made you feel beautiful." She says.
"But I never thought I'd say I love you to anyone else but Kaiba"
"And who got into a relationship before you?" I did not want to answer. "Tell me Jade" She says in a serious tone.
"He did" I answer.
"Then why feel bad. If I was in your shoes, I would not feel bad at all. Who wouldn't fall for a guy like William?" She gushes.
"I know he is too good to be true" I smiled.
"William and you have something special obviously but it's not true love. It is more like platonic love. You and the boss have much more"
"I know we do… But if it didn't work out once then what makes you think it'll work a second time?" I ask.
"I see you use your day off to go around and give advice Hayashi?" I felt shivers down my spine when I saw Kaiba walk in the office.
"Kaiba…" I mumble in fear.
"Leave us alone," he told Cecilia. Cecilia hugs me and quickly leaves.
"Tell me everything you just told her" I look down at the floor.
"Why should I" I pout as if a were a five year old child.
"Jade listen to me… I heard everything you said so why hide it?" He says.
"You shouldn't be listening to private conversations Mr. Kaiba" I reply, avoiding the subject.
"Cut the crap already" He snaps.
"What crap? If you heard me then why do you want me to repeat myself?" I snap.
"Because I want to tell you what I think" He says.
"Oh please don't make me roll my eyes"
"Just a few hours ago we were in peace and now look at you! You're acting like a five year old Jade"
"I do want you back happy! I need you in my life Seto Kaiba! Despite everything you're the only one that owns my heart." I look into his eyes with anger and love. I did not want to admit it... but i did. Seto was the owner of my heart and soul back then, now and forever always.
"That's what I wanted to hear," he said in a tone of victory.
"Seto I love you and I need you with me… Despite our differences.…" I said.
"Jade don't you see why I've been acting this way? I realized that back then, I acted very immature and I apologize for those times. I came to my senses and realized that." He steps closer to me. I tiptoed to kiss him. The kiss was soft at first later turning into a passionate one. He pulled me closer to him. I felt all his love for me in that kiss…
"I love you ya jerk," I said still kissing him.
"My Jade… I love you too" I pulled him away from me.
"But what if we don't work out this time"
"Jade I won't lose you again. I will never do the stupidity of leaving you ever again. I know I wasn't the prince charming when we were married but I will change" He says in a loving tone.
"Just not with the whole world" I add.
"Correct" he chuckled. He hugs me lovingly.
"My CEO" I gush.
"My animal loving Jade" I couldn't help but cry in happiness.
"I'm sorry" I said.
"For what...?" He asks.
"If you heard me then you'd know" I respond.
"There is nothing to apologize for. The one who should be apologizing is me"
"Shut up you CEO," I giggle.
"Never say what you said about yourself again. You're beautiful to me just the way you are" He whispers.
"You don't care if I don't have that body Umeki has? Or the height or…" He lightly kisses me on the lips.
"Not at all shrimp," He says, making me giggle.
"But Kaiba lets take it slow this time. I don't want our relationship to rush and for now let's not say anything to anyone okay"
"Whatever you say" He says, lightly kissing me on my forehead "You don't know how much I've suffered without you Jade" He says in a broken tone as he hugs me.
