Taken By Surprise

Chapter 2: Second Thoughts

Tea finally moves into her tiny room located in the basement of the mansion, the house keeper's headquarters. Her first task assigned by Kaiba is to make lunch for him. She's not sure how to cook or what to make that would please her master but she's sure that she will be able to come up with something. She heads towards the kitchen and starts to prepare his lunch.

Its noon and his lunch is set at the table evenly. She heads upstairs to call Kaiba down so he can consume his meal.

She knocks on the door lightly and hears a grunt which she takes as an invitation to come in. "Uhhhh….Mr. Kaiba lunch is ready for you," says Tea softly just once and then leaves him in his room. She doesn't repeat herself.

Kaiba, memorized by her beauty and sweet voice, runs after her to the dining room. He wants her to join him but his pride stops him from making such a stupid mistake. Him, Seto Kaiba, dining with a maid? That was impossible! Why did he feel so helpless around her? He was the most powerful, the most confident Seto Kaiba but how could such a weak girl have such an affect on him? She made him feel so warm, and tingly. He just wanted to grab her and kiss her and hold her in his arms forever.

The meal was faultless.

Kaiba is very pleased with his meal and announces to her that he needs to head out for some business and hands her the house keys. What is he thinking? Why is he trusting her with his house keys? She hasn't even been here for a day yet and he feels as if he's known her for his whole life. She thanks him and takes the keys.

She has the most sincere smile. I need to be with her, Kaiba thinks as he's putting his coat on as gets ready to leave. "You don't have to worry about tonight's dinner, I'll be eating out. And rest as much as you like and I will show you where the house-cleaning products are kept tomorrow. Have a good evening!" says Kaiba waiting for a reply.

"Thank you Mr. Kaiba, I hope you enjoy your evening out." and with that Kaiba leaves with Tea closing the door after him. She doesn't know what to do after he leaves. Should she go out or just start some of her chores right now? After thinking about it for 10 mins she decides to rest like Kaiba had suggested. She lies down on her bed. She's thinking about Kaiba. He's not that bad looking and he's very sweet. Wait… Do I have feelings for him? I feel weird around him but I don't show it and he acts so strange around me. Do you think he likes me? No, no he couldn't! I'm so quiet and shy and most importantly I'm his maid. No, that's impossible, he can't possibly be falling for me. I need to focus my head on getting a good night sleep and getting ready to make his breakfast in the morning. Tea then quietly drifts off to sleep dreaming of the person that's keeping her restless.

Yes I know…this chapter is extremely short but if I continued than it would be too long. There is a MAJOR cliff-hanger coming up in the next few chapters which is going to be really wicked.
