Bridesmaid
Chapter 3
Serenity popped into someone and the water poured on her white night dress. She accidentally fell on the ground. "OUCH!" she yelled. The light switched on immediately and she saw Kaiba standing in the front of her with shock on his face.
"Are you ok?" Kaiba asked and pulled Serenity up.
"Yeah, I guess." Serenity groaned.
"What are you doing this late?" Kaiba asked and glanced at Serenity suspiciously.
"I just want to get some water, I'm thirsty to death!" Serenity was a little bit angry. Kaiba is the host, and he didn't even prepare some water in the guestroom.
"Oh." Kaiba just noticed most of the water poured on Serenity. Her white silky dress showed her body perfectly. Not so mature, but it was like a green apple, sour but with taste. Kaiba blushed and picked up the glass.
"I'm sorry about that." Kaiba said quietly but still blushing. He looked away.
Serenity noticed Kaiba's blushing. She looked down at her dress and found out what was happening. Her face reddened with playful anger in her voice, "it's alright."
"Well, next time I'll tell the servant to prepare some water in your room, because we don't usually use the guestroom." Kaiba explained.
"It's ok, I understand that." Serenity smiled and felt dizzy. She stood still and frowned.
"You ok?" Kaiba looked at Serenity with concerns.
"Yeah, just the late night get-ups, you know, feeling sleepy and dizzy." She smiled weakly and frowned again. Kaiba studied Serenity carefully, and then he said quietly, "come, I'll take you upstairs to your room." The he held Serenity up. Serenity was shocked but the next second she was in Kaiba's arms.
Kaiba put Serenity on her bed lightly. "Have a good sleep, tomorrow Tea still has a lot plans for you," he said quietly without emotions. The room was dark, but Serenity could hear the irritation in Kaiba's voice. // what's with him anyways. // Serenity thought carefully.
"Umm, thanks." Serenity murmured and fell into sleep.
Light in Tea's room went on and off, but no one noticed...
..................
The next day, Serenity got up and felt better. After all the clean ups, she walked into the dining room.
"Good morning, Tea." Serenity smiled, pulling out a chair and sat down.
"Morning," Tea grinned. She seemed like wanting to say something, but she hesitated.
"Something wrong?" Serenity pushed away her cherry pudding, which was in a small, but European patterned plate.
"Oh no, just an exciting news." Tea laughed uneasily. "I was thinking that maybe we could go to the park or see a movie today. You know, get more comfortable with each other." Tea stopped for a moment, and then continued on, "I was planning to wait for Seto to come back last night, but then..." her voice trailed off and stared at her plate.
"Jack?" Tea suddenly turned around. "I don't feel like eating this anymore, I'm not hungry." Jack took away Tea's plate silently and walked away. Serenity blushed without realizing it herself.
"Well, yeah." Tea murmured awkwardly. "So what do you want to do?"
"Um," Serenity said thoughtfully. "How about this? You go and find Kaiba, and I'll call Yami. I, um, still want to get comfortable with him. Maybe Joey is with him, and, uh, I can talk to Joey for a while." Serenity divided her pudding unconsciously. The red and transparent pudding looked a mess while Serenity cut shakily. "Then we'll catch up with you at the theatre." She added.
"Alright." Tea sounded better. She went to her room and 5 minutes later, she came out with an attractive short skirt and a mini top.
"Car?" Jack asked as Tea hurried to the door.
"Yes, thank you, Jack." Tea gave Jack a sunshine-like bright smile. She turned around, found Serenity was following her to the door. Tea stopped, she looked at Serenity meaningfully. Then she hugged her lightly, and whispered, "thank you."
Serenity shivered a bit, "right, I'll call Yami."
...........
Serenity put down the phone. Yami said he'll meet her at the theater around 4 p.m. She sighed, the movie Tea was going to watch with Kaiba will probably end by 3 p.m. //They can have some times alone. // Serenity thought, half happy, half bitter. //It's different, // she thought again. //Tea is going get married, no matter how kaiba feels, marriage isn't just a game, anyone who dares to walk into that church will dare to vow the everlasting love with each other, no matter how many lies and fantasies hidden under it, it's marriage, the light will erase all the dark clouds. //
Serenity walked around the house, checking out everything. She was amazed of how fantasized and childish Kaiba made some parts of his mansion. //Mokua, // she remembered. Mokuba went to America a few years ago, he went there study. Kaiba must be really sad and miserable without his brother.
"Well," Serenity picked up her wallet. "Time to go to meet Yami."
"No ride, Miss Wheeler?" Jack asked at the door.
"Oh, no thanks, Jack." Serenity grinned happily. "I prefer walking."
...........
Serenity arrived at the theatre; she waited at the café table. //Where is Yami?// She thought worriedly. //It's 4:10 already, movie is starting in 5 minutes! // just when Serenity was about to get up, she saw a familiar cool figure. //Kaiba, // Serenity choked.
"Wha- what are you doing here?!" Serenity was almost screamed and jumped as Kaiba walked towards her. "Aren't you supposed to be Tea?"
"Then what are you doing here?" Kaiba asked back, without answering any of Serenity's questions, his face flushed over an irritated look.
"Well, I'm supposed to meet up with Yami at 4, but he didn't come, yet. And, Tea left the house hours ago to meet up with you in the theatre. Did you and Tea get separated?"
"No," Kaiba answered carelessly. "I just got here."
"WHAT!?" Serenity was shocked. "But I thought. You.. Tea.. And..." suddenly Serenity didn't know what to say anymore. Facing this emotionless face, and those beautiful cold blue eyes, suddenly she didn't know if she should be happy or upset of this mess.
"I should've been here hours ago, correct." Kaiba noticed Serenity's confusion, so he decided to explain. "But I had an emergency meeting and I couldn't get here early."
"Then what's the meaning of coming here 3 hours later!?" Serenity cried out with anger.
Kaiba shrugged. He knew it was his fault too. "I just thought that I could do something if she's still here..." his stopped, looked at Serenity, feeling stupidity came all over him. why was he telling her all these? Besides, Tea couldn't possibly still be here 3 hours after. "well, I guess you are right, I should get back to work anyways." Kaiba turned and started walking to his limo.
"Wait!" Serenity caught up with Kaiba. He had a caring heart after all, although a big and stupid caring heart, but... "Um, I still have two movie tickets, and Yami doesn't seem to be showing up in any minutes, do you want to catch this movie?" Serenity said in a rush, but immediately she realized what an idiotic thing she had done. She supposed to call Tea and check if everything is ok, or let Kaiba went back to work, he's a busy man, who'd have time to watch a stupid movie with her? Serenity was blushing crazily, she mumbled, "um, well, if you are busy, I'll, um."
"I guess I could get some times off." Kaiba said thoughtfully. "Ok, since I already gave all the works to my assistant, it's too late to return now."
Serenity smiled, it was as bright as the sunshine of June.
...................
"Kaiba that bastard." Yami cursed under his breath. He sat besides Tea. Tea didn't seem to be very upset. She forced a smile, "he was probably busy."
"Tea!" Yami looked at Tea blamably, "you shouldn't defend him at a time like this, when he came back, we'll have a good talk with him."
"I guess so." Tea murmured. "But anyways," Tea looked at Yami thankfully, "I'm glad that you walked by. I guess the movie tickets will be wasted if you weren't there."
Yami laughed dryly, suddenly he remembered something important. "Oh no!" He exclaimed.
"What?" Tea frowned.
"I was supposed to meet Serenity at the theatre at 4! But because I was on my way home to change and I saw you..." Yami looked worried. "Where is she anyways? I mean if I didn't go, she supposed to be back, right? Gosh, I'm really no different from Kaiba! How can I forget to meet with her and leave her alone?" Yami was talking and blaming himself.
"Well, it's half my fault also." Tea shrugged lightly and was upset. "I hope she's alright, and Seto..."
Yami let out an angry groan, but then he stood up and faced Tea. "Want something to eat? I don't know about you, but I'm starving!"
Tea laughed, "Yeah, I guess we could have a home-cooked meal." She made a face and went to the kitchen with Yami.
..................
"That was a great movie," Serenity stretched her back. "I like historical movies, don't you?" she smiled and looked at Kaiba.
"Sure." Kaiba shrugged and felt tired. He looked at Serenity and put a half smirk on his face, "come, I'll take you to my favourite restaurant, I'm hungry."
"Wow, thanks!" Serenity's eyes sparkled by reflecting the colourful lights of the city. "I'm starving too! I could use some energy right now!" she giggled and went into Kaiba's car.

IANA: T_T I'm so sorry guys, I've had a real big writer's block! And busy, you see. And I'm telling the truth, although it's summer for me already, I still didn't taste the sweetness of doing nothing at all! All day, I was reading novels, research information and building my Hunter X Hunter fan site, and trying to find a summer job, -_-; but nobody wants to hire a youngster like me. How ageist! Anyways, I'll try to catch up with my fanfic works, I'll try to write a chapter for one story each day, and I got a lot stories, *laughs dryly* and I still have to work on my drawings.
Next chapter Preview: What really happened to Tea and Yami? Did Serenity's dinner go well with Kaiba? How would Tea feel? What's happening!?
