A/N: I know some Japanese, I am a Texan, and I have a translator to do the
French for me. Suminasen means, 'excuse me' or 'sorry'.
Thursday came faster than expected and it was time for Seto to make his way to the bookstore/café for his date with Jesse. He was actually looking forward to it; that in itself was irregular but he had to remember, Aleron was going to talk to her, not Seto Kaiba.
The jingling of the bells above the doors shook him from his thoughts. He realized it was time for him to make the transition from Japanese to French and English. He searched the café for the American girl. He smiled when he caught sight of said American in the café again.
Her clothes were different this time. She was wearing black and white striped cowboy boots instead of her brown boots she wore the past Saturday. And she didn't wear the two piece ensemble she had on that day either, she was wearing a red dress that went down to about the knees, but her legs were crossed so he wasn't so sure. Her completely straight black hair was in a ponytail and under a black leather cowboy hat.
Actually, he didn't know that that was she until she flipped her hair at the gust of wind he let in. She looked up at him and smiled.
" Bon jour Aleron!" She said.
He smirked and walked over.
" Bon jour chere." He said sitting down.
" Ah've been waitin' fo' ya. Wherre ya been?" She asked.
" Working hard. My job is my life." He said.
" Wherre ya work at?" She asked.
" KaibaCorp." He said without thinking.
" Sounds important and Ah think Ah heard it before. Whot do ya do?" She asked.
" Um...I." He trailed.
There was a problem. He couldn't just say, " I'm the president of KaibaCorp. Guess that makes me Seto Kaiba, huh? And that would make me a liar!" That would get him in trouble. She would pour that hot coffee in his pants. And he liked these pants. So he would lie again. Not like they would keep this up right?
" Aleron?" Jesse said slightly concerned.
" Oh, desole. What were you saying chere?" He asked giving her a warm smile.
Seto watched her melt at that. Her cheeks lit up like the tree in Rockefeller Center. He was always told he had an amazing smile. Once he was walking by and told some schoolgirls good morning and smiled; they were squealing for at least 3 blocks. He still had it.
" Um.Oh yea! Whot do ya do at KaibaCorp. was it?" Jesse said.
" Ne ce pas est important. Do not worry about it." He said waving it off.
" C'mon. Tell mae. Please?" She pleaded.
Kuso. She was pouting. Usually he was immune to pouts, excluding Mokuba's. But her's was too much. He couldn't take it. Her lip was wobbling, her eyes were watery and it was all focused on him.
" Unorthodox move. How can I say no when you look at me like that chere?" He asked; admitting defeat.
" Dat's tha general idea Aleron." She said winking.
" I am the administrative assistant to the CEO." He said.
" So in otha words, yer a secretary?" She said.
" I hate being called the S-word. Administrative assistant." He said.
" Whoteva! Aren't ya kinda young fo' that?" She asked.
" Non chere. Aren't you kinda young for being out alone?" He asked.
" Hmp. Ah'm old enough ta know betta, but young enough ta do it anyway." Jesse said giving a victory sign.
" You're strange." He said laughing.
" Strange is a synonym for weird and wonderful." She said boldly.
" It is?" He asked arching an eyebrow.
" It is when it applies ta mae." She said smiling.
" Such a beautiful smile and a humble personality." He teased.
" Shut up!" She cried kicking him under the table.
" Accord! Accord! I give up!" He said holding his shin.
Jesse shot him a playful glare. This must be what Yugi and his yahoo friends do all day. While it was fun, he was in no hurry to join Tea's little friendship cult. She was crazy. You even mention the word friendship and off she goes on one of her rants. New students are warned about her. When they see her coming, they rollout quick, fast and in a hurry.
" 'Ey Aleron." Jesse said.
" Oui?" Seto said looking at her.
" Tell mae somethin' in French." She said smiling.
" You're cheating chere. You know I love your smile." He said.
There went her cheeks again. As red as the eyes of the Red Eyes Black Dragon. He should flirt more often, it was amusing to watch a girl's cheeks flush and see her try to hide it. He was enjoying this.
" Alright. J'aime la conversation a et moi voulons vous voir encore." Seto said.
" Whot does dat mean?" Jesse asked.
" It means I love talking to you and I want to see you again." He said.
She smiled.
" Are ya askin' mae out?" She asked still smiling.
" Depends chere. Are you saying yes?" He countered.
She looked thoughtful for a minute. He knew what she was doing. She was making him wait. Purposely dangling her answer over his head. And to make matters worse, his body was betraying him. His heart was racing, his hands were starting to sweat, he became very self-conscious and he found it very hard to think of anything to say. Except that he hated hormones. He quickly ran his hand through his hair to try and stop the sweat.
" Well, Ah've got nothin' betta ta do. Whot did ya have in mind Aleron?" Jesse asked.
" What do you say to a movie chere?" Seto asked.
" So long as it ain't a chick flick, teeny-bopper or war-related." She said.
" As far as I can tell, 'The Fast and the Furious' doesn't have any of that in it." He said.
" 'Tha Fast an' tha Furious'?! Are ya kiddin' mae?! Who do Ah have ta kill?" She asked.
" No one chere. I can pick you up here around 12pm. Saturday. Sound good, non?" He said.
" Sounds good ta mae. Ah gotta git goin'. Ma boss'll jump on ma back if Ah'm late and Ah cost him money." She said standing up and stretching.
" What do you do?" He asked; his eyes watching her body.
" Ah work at tha Sunset ranch jist off tha highway. Ah give horse-riddin' lessons an' Ah tend ta tha horses." She said putting her hands down.
" Sounds smelly." He said crinkling his nose.
" Ya git used ta it. Ah grew up around horses. It is easier fo' some than othas," She said shrugging," Ya should come visit mae."
" Maybe I will chere." He said smiling.
" Good. Guess Ah'll see ya Sataday." She said.
However, before she left, she leaned over and gave Seto a small kiss on his cheek. It was nothing special, but his cheeks turned brighter than a 100wat. Bulb. Jesse shot him the same smile he dubbed 'trouble-maker'.
" Later secretary." She said walking off.
