She drove up to the familiar building. She stopped outside the front door, took off her helmet and sat back, looking up at the building.
"it's good to be home." She smiled and got off.
She chained the wheels and walked through the front door. She walked up to reception desk.
"I'm here to see Mr. Kaiba." She said to the woman at the front desk. She was new, so she didn't now who she was.
"Do you have an appointment?" the woman asked. She looked her up and down. This was not the type of person Kaiba normally took meetings with.
"Give me the phone." Cerise said. The woman obliged and Cerise leaned over the desk to dial his PA's number.
"Hi, it's me… yeah… I'm coming up, don't tell him, I want it to be a surprise... Okay, see you now." She hung up.
She handed the phone back and walked towards the elevator.
When she got to the 29th floor, the doors opened and all the guys in the office saw her walk out.
"Hey boys." She smiled walking down the sterile office floor.
When she got to the end, Kaiba's door was closed. His PA got up and greeted Cerise.
"Where did you go?" she asked her, walking up to her and hugging her.
"I went to go drink tequila on a Mexican beach." She hugged her back.
"You look great." She said.
"Thanks." Cerise said, looking down at herself.
She only hoped Atemu would like it as much as other people did.
"When are you coming back to work?" his PA asked her.
"Hopefully never." She said.
"Is he busy?" Cerise added.
"Very. But not too busy for you." She smiled at her.
"Great." Cerise said, walking towards the door and turning the handle.
She sneaked in.
"I told you didn't want any interruptions." He said working on his laptop.
She banged the door closed.
"Still as charming as ever I see." She said.
He looked up over his laptop.
"Cerise!" he stood up.
"Hello Seto." She said.
He walked around the desk towards her and he hugged her.
"When did you get back?" he asked.
"An hour or two ago." She sat down on the chair.
"Would you like some coffee?" he asked.
"No, I'm fine. Thanks." She said.
He walked around to the other end of the desk and sat down on his black leather chair.
"So, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Ah, and here I thought you were glad to see me?" she leaned forward.
"I am." He smiled.
"Okay, you got me." she sat down and leaned back in the chair.
"I'm here for a reason." she sat back and mimicked him.
"Oh, really. What would that be?" he asked.
She looked at him and took a breath.
"I'm here, to say… sorry." She said.
"Sorry, now that would make my day." He smiled.
"It was selfish of me to make you to choose between me and your title. Can you forgive me?" she asked.
"I need more incentive than that." He replied.
"Okay. Back then, I was young, stupid, and I thought that you were into me because of the trophy syndrome." She said.
"It has only been six months since we broke up." he reminded her.
"I know, but I've learnt a lot in six months." She said.
"Hang on, there's a little lie here somewhere." He said, frowning at her.
"No, I'm genuine." She said, looking at him with wide eyes.
"And what if I believe you, what then?"
"Well, then I was hoping, we could get back together." She leaned forward.
He sat forward, folding his arms on top of his desk.
"Are you still a demon?" he asked her and she laughed.
"No. Your cure worked completely." She said, feeling the sting of her lost child in her heart.
"And what about the Pharaoh?" he asked.
She got up and walked to his side of the desk. She sat in front of him, on the desk and slipped off her shoe. She pushed him back into his chair with her foot.
"What Pharaoh?" she said, leaning forward and brushing her lips against his.
He leaned forward to kiss her, but she pushed him away.
"You're going to have to work a bit harder than that to get me." she smiled.
She got up and walked to the door.
"Penthouse, ten minutes." She said, and walked out the door.
She closed it behind her and walked to the elevator.
Kaiba shut down his computer and cancelled all his meetings for the rest of the day. He came rushing out of his office like a bat out of hell.
"Um. I'm taking the rest of the day off." He said to his PA.
"Yes, sir." She said.
He walked as fast as he could to the lift and went up to the penthouse. The lift opened and he saw nothing. He walked out and looked around.
"I'm here Seto." She said.
He walked into his room, to see her pouring a glass of wine.
"It's a bit early to be drinking, isn't it?" he said, walking up to her.
She handed him the glass.
"It's five 'o' clock somewhere in the world." She said, sipping on the glass.
"I wasn't sure whether you still like the blues?" she said pulling two CDs out of her bag.
"Yeah, I still do." He said.
She walked over to the CD player and put it in.
"Can I ask you something?" he asked.
"Yeah." She said as the music started to play.
She turned around and walked slowly up to him, touching his chest with her hands.
"Why are you doing this?" he asked.
"I can take the punch now. And I realized that you're the man I really want." She took off his jacket.
"Hey, I have a bottle of tequila in my bag." She said, walking to her bag and pulling out the bottle.
"Do you have any lemons?" she asked.
"In the kitchen." He said.
She smiled and walked out the room, to the kitchen.
"You can take your clothes off so long." She said.
He smiled to himself and scrambled to get his clothes off and got onto the bed. He knew it wouldn't be long till she was begging him to take her back. He thought that he might need to spray something on his to make him smell sexy. He waited for a few minutes, when she came back with a plate of lemon slices and the saltshaker.
"What's that for?" he asked.
"I'll show you now." She said, unzipping her suit.
She stripped down to her underwear.
"Hey, you got muscles." He said looking at her six-pack.
"Yeah, I needed to get a body." She said, climbing onto the bed.
"Lie back." She said.
He lay back on the pillows and she opened the bottle of tequila and poured a little in his belly button.
"What are you doing?" he said angrily.
"It's called a body shot." She said, pouring some salt above his belly button. She took a slice of lemon and put it under his belly button.
"First, you lick off the salt, then drink the tequila, then bite the lemon." She said.
"Okay." He said.
She put her hands on his sides and bent down, licking off the salt, then drinking the tequila and then biting the lemon.
She sat back. And put the lemon skin back on the plate.
"How was that?" she asked.
"My turn." He smiled, grabbing her by her shoulders and spinning her around onto the bed. He opened the bottle of tequila and poured some into her belly button.
