Phone Conversation
*Malik's POV* She gave me her number! I could stay in touch with her and get her back.
When I arrived home, I threw my things on the side.
I grabbed a beer from the fridge and decided to check my messages, if I had any.
Only one message, that's different, I never have any messages.
Hey Malik! It's me, Jounouchi!
Great.
The dog called.
"Probably needs the homework." I mutter.
Seto is letting us is his house over the weekend, so.
I take a swig of my drink.
We're having a party and you're invited! It's Saturday at 6:00.
I take a quick look at my clock.
5:30!
I spit my beer out, sending it everywhere.
Oh, by the way, I suggest you bring a friend, or you-know-who will be after you. Bye, see you at the party.
I stare at my answering machine in awe.
A party.
At Seto's mansion.
Invite a friend?
Who could I invite?
Rose!
This would be the prefect thing to bring us together!
I pull Rose's number from my pocket, grab the phone and dial her number.
It rings once.twice.three times.
"Please be home."
It rang for the fifth time.
I was about to hang up when I heard an answer.
"Hello?"
"Rose? It's Malik."
"Oh, hi Malik. You got home all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Look, I know this must seem sudden and all; but I was.um.wondering, if you would.um.be interested in."
I was so nervous I couldn't even ask her to go to the party.
"Malik. No offense; but, could you ask me whatever it is your going to ask before the night ends."
I snap back into reality.
"Rose, would you like to go to a party tonight? The only problem is that it starts at 6:00."
"Would you be able to pick me up?"
"Yeah."
"Then I would be more than honored to go with you, Malik."
"I'll see you shortly then. Bye"
"Bye, Malik."
I hang up the phone and get ready in the remaining time.
As I was about to leave, a voice penetrates my thoughts.
//Going to a party//
Not now, please not now.
//Going to a party. And with a date? You're such a charmer. Must get that from me.//
/I'm not anything like you!/
//You can't deny it. We're the same you and I. And it's only a matter of time before I come and greet the world again.//
/That will never happen./
I put the strongest mental block I could create between me and Ishtar. I pray to Ra that it will keep Ishtar out of the way tonight, I can't let anything screw up tonight, otherwise I could lose Rose for a second time.
