Turkey Day!
Oh, yeah. I had to quit the italics. FF.Net loader is starting to piss me off extremely. I've uploaded this thing 3 times!!
Jesse broke away from her make-out session with Kaiba to see who called her name. She didn't think anyone would know her there. She didn't know anything about the place herself.
" Hey, it's Joey! Ova heah Joey!" She said waving.
****************
Joey had heard from the desk girl that Kaiba had left the school. He had to do a little heavy flirting to find where it was he went, but he found it and got a ride. He didn't want Kaiba having any fun without him. He wasn't going to just give Jesse up and go away.
No, he was going to make Kaiba work for this. True, he wasn't the one she met first, but they definitely had chemistry. They were both Americans and they liked the same things; excluding Kaiba.
Grinning broadly once he spotted them, Joey made his way over. He dragged a chair over and sat on Jesse's other side. He noticed right away that Kaiba was glaring him down. He really didn't want him here. Judging by how close they had moved, he was glad that he had come there when he did.
" Hey Jesse, Kai-Aleron." Joey said.
That slip made Kaiba narrow his eyes at Joey. Joey shivered at the look. He looked like he was going to just reach over and strangle him. The only reason he hadn't was because Jesse was there.
" Hi Joey. What are ya doing heah Joey?" Jesse asked.
" Uh, well, I was kind of skipping." He said rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.
" Joey! Yer grades'll suffer! And you'll 'ave make-up work an' somethin' ta stay afta school fo'!" Jesse chided.
" His grades already suffer, he's got make-up work as tall as you and he stays after school daily for one thing or another." Kaiba said.
" Watch it Frenchie. I'm not the only one wit' secrets." Joey warned.
*********************
Kaiba glared at Joey for the third time in 30 seconds. That had to be some kind of record somewhere. How dare he threaten him!! He really wanted to just reach over and throttle him right there in front of everyone. But he didn't dare attempt this in front of Jesse.
He saw the way she smiled when he came in. Though she had smiled at him the same way, it was his smile to see and his alone. He didn't want to share Jesse with anyone, let alone a mutt. Nevertheless there was nothing he could do less he blow his cover.
" Monsieur Joey, so nice to see you again. It is quite the coincidence that you are here. How did you find manquer Jesse and myself?" He asked.
" Well, I just happened to be around and I saw you walk in." He said smiling.
* Sure you did you stupid animal*, Kaiba thought to himself. He knew that Joey had to have bribed the desk girl for his location. Joey wasn't able to go to a place like this, and he wasn't lucky enough to just see them get in.
" So Jesse, how'ya doin' lately?" Joey asked.
" Oh, Aleron has kept mae busy. Whot wit callin' mae and takin' mae out fo' lunch todah. Ah didn't wont ta come in heah 'cause Ah'm not reallah dressed for a place like this. But Aleron insisted and heah we are." She said gesturing to the restaurant they were in.
" You look cute. Even in casual clothes." Joey was smiling dumbly and holding his head in his hands. His attraction to the Texas girl was evident.
" Thank ya Joey. Ya look good yourself." She said smiling back.
Joey reached to take her hand. But Kaiba saw this. He placed a possessive arm around Jesse's waist and jerked her over to him.
" Oh! Aleron!" She said laughing.
He spared her a small smile, but he shot Joey a forewarning glare.
*Can you say 'mine' mutt?*
**********************
Joey glared at Kaiba from his position next to Jesse. He did all but yank her into his lap and declare "MINE!". He started to growl, but that would only lead to a dog joke. He would have to settle for something else to get him to back off.
" So Jesse, what are ya doing Wednesday? I wanna take ya out." He said.
" Oh, Sorrah. Aleron's takin' mae out then." She said.
" What about Thursday?" He asked.
" Well, Thursday's-"
" Taken as well. I am taking mademoiselle Jesse to the fair that day." Kaiba interjected.
" Oh no yer not!! I'M taking Madam-mayor-cell Jesse to the fair!!" Joey said.
" First off, it's mademoiselle, vous l'idiot. Second of all, she is going with me." He said.
" Over my dead body!!"
" Don't tempt me!!"
" Guys! Guys! Please don't fight ova mae. Ya can both take mae out on Thursday aright?" Jesse cut in.
" But I don't wanna share. Especially with Frenchie over dere." Joey protested.
" Fermer en haut le chien!" Kaiba snapped.
" What was dat?!!" He asked.
" Joey! Aleron! Stop it!" Jesse pulled away from both of them. She was getting tired of this real quick.
" This is gittin' reallah old reallah fast! Ya can both take mae ta tha fair or Ah'll go alone! There is no otha option! Ah refuse to be some prize ya'll can fight ova!" She said loudly.
******************
Kaiba stared at Jesse in shock. She blew up at them because they were fighting over her? Most girls loved that. He didn't know what was wrong, but that was beside the point. The point was he needed to get Joey out and away from Jesse before she started to like him.
" Mes excuses. Mademoiselle Jesse is right. It is, how do you say, uncivilized to fight in the presence of a lady. We should both accompany her to the fair." He said.
" Yeah, I guess yer right Jesse. I can git with dat. As long as you're dere, I know it'll still be a beautiful night." Joey said.
" Uh, thanks Joey." She was totally caught off guard by his flirting and blushed. Kaiba seethed. He was supposed to be the only one to make her blush like that. He was supposed to be the one complimenting her. Joey had to go.
" Mes excuses. I shall return shortly." He said getting up to leave.
He saw Joey make a face at him as he left. He had always had a resentment towards Joey for being that stupid and annoying him. But now, now he was going too far. He had to GO.
******************
Jesse couldn't believe them. They were causing a scene and acting like children over a toy. She knew she should be flattered nevertheless she couldn't help but be agitated at them.
" Jesse?" Joey shyly asked.
" Hm? Wha? What is it Joey?" She asked.
" What do ya see in him?" He gestured towards where Aleron had gone.
" Ah don' know. He's sweet. He cares about mae. He's totally honest wit mae. He'd neva lie ta mae." She said.
" That's what you think." He muttered.
" Whatja say Joey?" She asked curiously.
" Uh, I think he stinks." He said quickly.
" That's not nice Joey." She said.
" But he wants you too. And I don't wanna share you." He pouted.
" Joey...This is verry hard fo' mae, bein' heah wit both of you. Ah'm reallah confused at tha moment Joey. So many different parts of mae tellin' mae diff'rent thangs. " She said quietly.
" Sorry Jesse. I didn't mean ta put so much pressure on ya. Ya will choose me won'tcha?" He asked smiling.
" Ah-"
" Mes excuses monsieur, but I must ask you ta leave." A large waiter grabbed Joey by his collar and lifted him out of the chair.
" Hey!!" Joey thrashed as he tried to get away from the large man's grip. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a certain blue-eyed someone. He felt his resolve snap and he just bucked wildly trying to get free.
" You blue-eyed devil!! I'll gitcha fo' dis Kaiba!! You'll pay!!"
" No reservation, no place for you!" Joey was thrown out on his butt right into the street.
******************
Kaiba smirked as he watched Joey be put out. He was getting too close to Jesse and he didn't like the way their closeness was going. He didn't want to share Jesse with anyone, especially not the mutt from the States.
He walked over towards Jesse as she was trying to figure out what was going on. But she didn't understand French and the guy she was talking to wasn't going to be of much use.
" Where is monsieur Joey?" He asked innocently.
" He was thrown out." She said sadly.
" Don't feel bad for him chere. We can get him a doggy bag if you like." He said.
*Hah! Doggy bag. I kill myself.* Kaiba thought smiling.
" Maybe Ah should go see if he's aright. They threw him out kinda hard." She stood up and started to walk over there.
Kaiba glared at the blond American through the window. He was gone but he was still getting her attention. This meant he was going to have to plan and plot against him. That meant he needed time. Time he didn't have, but would have to make. Either spend Wednesday dancing with his cowgirl or spend it planning different ways to break his legs. Decisions, decisions...
" Sit." He gently pulled Jesse down in his lap; electing a cry of surprise from her as she fell. " Do not worry about monsieur Joey chere. He had a hard head."
" If ya say so." She shrugged.
" Chere?"
" Hm?"
" I'm going to have to break our date on Wednesday. I have a lot of work to do. But I promise to see you on Thursday."
" Eh, no big. Oh hey, the foods heah." She pointed behind him towards the waiter coming their way.
Everything looked great. But it was the cake that got most of Jesse's attention. Kaiba noticed this and noted how much she liked chocolate. He also noted how much she liked to eat dessert by the way she collected some frosting on her finger. But he caught her hand before she could put it in her mouth and took it into his; making sure to remove all the chocolate. All this made her erupt in laughter.
" You are so bad."
" You gonna punish me?"
" You'd enjoy it too much."
" Can I help it if I really like sweets?"
A/N: Oi!! It cut the end of my chapter!! So I had to remove it and write the ending all over again. Muuuu, all of you that wanted a lemon, you'll have to write it. I'm not allowed to write such things. You've got my permission to use her name and whatever else ya need from me to do it. Just remember three things: she's black (That's right, if ya didn't know, ya know now!), she's got a southern accent and she can't duel to save her life.
Other than that, laisser bon ton rouleau!!
