Okay, I haven't actually watched the Notebook, so I can't really talk much about that, sorry.

"Ok, so if I knew you were taking me to a chick-flick, I would have stopped you."
"That's the price you pay for being cooped up in work all the time," Lily smirked and noticed everyone coming out red-eyed.
"It was horrible."
"It was nice."
"What a waste of my time."
"I enjoyed it."
"Geez, what's with these people?"
"Hey mister, I saw you shedding a few tears in there."
"I so did not."
"Did too. You can admit it, you have a soft side."
At this point Lily really wanted Kaiba to put his arm around her and them to just walk around downtown a bit and just enjoy things. She didn't explore much of the city yet, but was definitely anxious to. Little did she know her wish was about to come true.
"So, did you walk around town when you ditched those two days?"
"Nah, I did a bit of shopping, why?"
"Well, why don't I give you a tour of the city? We've got an hour or so before that dinner you promised."
"All right." At that Kaiba started walking towards his car, expecting her to follow, but Lily just stood there. Sensing her absence he turned around, "Don't you want to come?"
"I...was hoping we could walk?"
"Walk?"
"Yeah."
"Er, why not?" Kaiba shrugged.
The two started to walk side by side, almost a foot apart, but Lily slipped her hand into his and they walked a bit before she said, "Hey look! Ice cream!" and the two went in the shop.
"Hmm, I'll have strawberry, what about you?"
"Oh, I don't want any."
"You don't like ice cream?"
::shrug::
"Fine, suit yourself."
They stepped back onto the street and Kaiba started to explain where everything was, which stores were good, which were bad, etc. "And over here, I'm sure you'll be interested to know, is the most popular clothing designer store in Japa—" Lily cut him off by sticking a scoop of ice cream in his mouth.
"Isn't it good? Here, have some more!"
Moving his head away he said, "No, it's okay. I don't want any."
"But it's good."
"No."
"Eat it."
"No."
"Yes, do it."
"Why?"
"Because."
"No."
"Cummon, just eat—"
"Lily? Is that you?"
She stuck the spoon into the cup and turned to the direction where the voice came from.
"Mike? MIKE! What are you doing here?" she gave Kaiba her ice cream and ran over to him to give him a huge hug.
"I should be asking you."
"Wow, it's great to see you! How long has it been? Two years?"
"Yeah, your 8th grade summer."
"Too long, how'd you know I was here?"
"Ahem."
"Huh? Oh sorry. Seto this is Mike, Mike, Seto."
"Ah, nice to meet you."
"You too."
"So...hey, you better not be Lily's boyfriend, are you?"
"And what if I am?"
"Oh, cocky, are we?"
"Mike, drop it. I'm 16. Don't you think I'm entitled to date?"
"As your brother, it's my duty to protect you from horny teenage boys."
"Mike! Seto's a great guy, I trust him, so can you."
"I didn't know you had a brother."
"Yeah, he's the best. He's studying at Oxford, so shouldn't you be studying? You know, instead of being here?"
"Is that how you treat people when they visit you?" Mike teased, "It's a long story, and I'd love to catch up right now, but it looks like I'm interrupting your date. What do you say to tomorrow? Say, uh, five-ish?"
"Five? How about we do lunch? I can make that favorite steak you like so much. You know my place?"
"Yeah, dad filled me in. Wonderful. See you then, Lily. Seto, nice meeting you."
"That was your brother?"
"Yup."
"He looks nothing like you."
"We didn't get to spend much time together, but every minute we did, I enjoyed very much. ::sigh::"
"Something wrong?" Kaiba handed her the melted ice cream.
"You won't eat ice cream. Haha. No, I just wonder why he's here."
"I'm sure everything is fine. I bet he's just checking up on us," Kaiba smirked and put his arm around Lily.
"So you're officially my boyfriend, huh?"
"That's what it looks like."
"What about school?"
"Your call."
"I think we'll keep us on a low profile; is that your stomach grumbling?"
"Yeah, I'm starting to get hungry."
"You know why?"
"No."
"Didn't eat the ice cream."
"Why do you care so much about the ice cream?"
"You don't like it."
"So?"
"That's why."
"What?"
"I thought you said you were hungry."
"How bout I buy dinner, save you the work?"
"Are you scared of my cooking?"
"No, I just—"
"Uh huh..."
"I just thought—"
"M-hmm..."
"Will you quit interrupting me?"
"No. Oh, I'm hungry. You know what we should do afterwards?"
"What."
"Go to that dance tonight, you know the back to school one, or whatever."
"No."
"Aww, first no ice cream, now no dance?"
"I'm up for dinner."
"I'm not, if you're not going to the dance."
"Then I'll just eat dinner without you," Kaiba motioned to leave.
"Oh no you don't," Lily said and held onto his waist.
"You're gonna stop me by hugging me?"
"No, you'll never be able to drive like this," following Kaiba to his car.
"Not unless I..." Kaiba began to tickle her sides and she squealed and instantly burst into laughter and released her grasp.
"Hey, that's cheating," she said, hitting him on the chest.
Lily leaned against the car, waiting for him to respond with his shrug or smirk and just unlock the car.
Oh yeah? What do you think of this? Moving in closer to her, he slowly leaned in to kiss her, his body slightly pushing into hers and his nervous system just going crazy. For five seconds he was in heaven, the ecstasy he felt from taste of her, and that hint of strawberry.
"You never cease to surprise me, Seto Kaiba. I've changed my mind about dinner. Let's go."
"And that dance?"
"I'll let you slide on this one, but we are so going to the next."
"I can't complain," he said, opening the car door.
The two had a great time at dinner, talking and laughing. Afterwards Kaiba walked her to her apartment and kissed her good night, confirming the next day's plans. He would pick Lily up from her place after her brother left.
Mike arrived at Lily's promptly at 12:00 for lunch. The two discussed their lives, how each was doing, etc. It turned out Mike was dropping out of school to pick up a top management position at their father's company, ChanTech, actually the second highest postion. All Lily knew was that it sold computers and was rather successful. She took the news rather badly, because she knew how much he wanted to study at Oxford. He was there, his dream playing out, and he was going to give it all up for some lousy excuse for a father, just because he was paranoid about people ruining him? He was to be his successor, since their father trusted no one, and barely trusted his own family. He would start on Monday and decided to visit Lily on his brief vacation. Actually, he was shocked she decided to move in the middle of high school and wanted to know why. Disappointment arose upon hearing a lousy excuse, but he knew he wasn't in a position to boss her around; doing so would not be of any benefit.
Mokuba talked himself into going out with Seto, and so the Kaiba brothers picked Lily up at 3:45, and she wanted to go shopping, to the dismay of the two males. Mokuba had hoped to go to the new game center and Seto figured he'd leave his brother in the care of their body guards, giving him some alone time with Lily. In the end, the three played games for an hour before Lily dragged the two shopping. Luckily for Seto, she decided not to buy much, otherwise he'd be stuck carrying everything for her and being bored at the same time. Also, Mokuba started to complain of hunger and so the three went to eat. Since there was a young eleven year old in their company, the couple couldn't stay out late and retired for the night at 9:30.
Sunday rolled around, and Lily was swamped with schoolwork. She took forever to do everything, mostly because she kept on getting distracted since homework is so, so fun.
The week was pretty uneventful and everyday after school the two would spend time at Lily's because she was concerned if Kaiba were to be at his home, all he would do was work, work, work, and she'd be forced to hang out with Mokuba. Not that Mokuba was boring, she just would rather spend time with her boyfriend. The exception was Thursday, in which their science teacher announced a big project for the grading period. It would consist of a visual aid, presentation, report, and a personal reflection on how the project went. Kaiba, Lily, Tristan and Joey were in the same group and decided on meeting on Saturday at four at Tristan's house. Her mother would either cook or order pizza for dinner as they worked.
The group meeting on Saturday forced Seto and Lily to change their date to Friday night. It was almost all usual activity; they were dressed out formally for dinner, except that Lily ordered several drinks and didn't know they contained alcohol. She may have had a serious attitude problem, but she was clean, so she became pretty intoxicated. Kaiba had to carry her to her room because she fell asleep and he couldn't wake her up. By the time they reached her room after climbing up several flights of stairs (The elevator was conveniently broken) he was tired out and put her on the sofa as he sat himself. He had meant to rest a little bit and then leave but fell asleep.
The next morning, Kaiba woke up and felt something warm. The events of the previous night entered his mind and everything became clear. He rather enjoyed the feeling of her body lying on top of his, with her head resting on his chest. When he realized that his hand was resting on the top of her breast, he quickly removed it and decided to get up and take a shower.
A few minutes later, Lily woke up in an uncomfortable position with a mild- severe headache. She didn't remember how she got home, but didn't bother thinking about it. After all, it only mattered that she was home. She noticed she was not wearing her pajamas and stumbled to her room, eyes closed and took out some clothes and found a towel after fumbling around several drawers. As she was entering the bathroom, she slipped off her clothes. She had heard the noise of the water in the shower, but thought it was just some noise she was just hearing in her head and stepped into it. The water hit her bare skin and she became confused; she didn't turn on the water. She opened her eyes to find Seto and screamed. As he turned around, she frantically covered herself with the shower curtain and asked, "Holy shit! What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you," Kaiba calmly said, turned off the water and wrapped a towel around his waist.
"How did you get into my apartment?"
"You don't remember that you got drunk and passed out or something? I had to carry you all the way here and I guess I was so tired I accidentally spent the night."
"Oh, well that explains my headache, and I guess, thanks, for looking out for me."
"No problem."
"Now get out of my bathroom!"
"Okay, okay."
"Wait, why didn't you lock the door?"
"It's broken, check for yourself, er...maybe later," he said, eyeing her shower curtain "dress."
I guess there's nothing like finding someone in your shower to wake you up in the morning.
