Chapter 3: The flooding problem

She ran upstairs and stopped she didn't know where Kaiba's room was and how could she find it soon if his mansion is big enough for a person to get lost for years. Well she knew she had to find Kaiba and in doing so she had to open the entire doors in the mansion. She began opening the first door insight and she will keep going down till she found Kaiba.

(Kaiba's office)

Kaiba was so concentrated on finishing his work that he completely forgot about Gardner. He had been typing on his computer and updating his defense program on Kaiba Corp; he also had to be in a meeting by tomorrow in New York. He checks his clock on his computer which indicated it was 11:00 p.m. He knew that this was not his latest working hour it was usually 4:00 a.m. he was after all a workaholic. His brother always told him he is one and should take it easy before he knew he be looking like a old man in his 20's humph… which still hasn't happen. As his thoughts where finish he went back to work when he heard a weak knock on his door.

(Back to tired Tea)

This was Tea's last straw if this was not the door she was going to give up. She has been opening and knocking so many doors that she even lost count. Her arm was so soar she could barely pull it up to knock on the door.

'Oh! I hope this is where the idiot is inside.'

"Come in" It come back to him that he had Gardner in his house. He was to busy to argue with her child acts so he let her come in.

Tea slowly enters the room and walk towards Kaiba she was lucky to see because the only light in the room or office was his computer. What surprised her even more is that he hasn't yelled at her for disturbing him when he told her not too.

'Doing all his work must have tired him a lot I could even see bags under his eyes. Oh well maybe the news will wake him up hehe. Oh shit, I think he said something.'

"What do you want? This is the second time I have asked you already."

"Oh! Sorry, hmmm…," she hesitated. She didn't know how to tell him.

"Well?"

"Umm...DominoCityisbeingfloodedrightnow!"

"What!"

"I said"

"I know what you mean, but how"

Kaiba quickly got up and went to his window Gardner wasn't lying at all Domino City was being flooded by water, but he was always prepare he is a Kaiba. Lucky for them they were on a hill and the water won't be able to reach them he also had electricity back up. The problem was that he had to cancel the meeting and wait till the situation was over. The real problem is that he will be stuck with Gardner during all this commotion. He was now sure that the gods have sent him to hell to suffer.

'Why me? Why? First thing to do is go and check how long the flooding will take.'

He sat back down in his chair facing his labtop and enters his sati light to see how bad the weather was and how long it would affect him. As he was doing this he fails to notice that Gardner was behind him and observing him. He saw what the sati light saw above them the weather wasn't much of his subject but it seem that it was a big one and it will take at least a week.

"Kaiba are we going to be stuck here for a week?"

"It seems so." 'Great my life is pathetic'

"Well can you check if the people in Domino are alright?" She looked at his eyes with plead ness in them.

"Fine, but you o me got that."

"Thank you."

All of a sudden the news came on his screen Tea recognized the same lady from the television.

"No deaths had happen today just soak people. The major has decided to put his people in a hill where an old school is. They will rest till the flooding stop"

"There happy they are all safe are you happy now."

"Thanks, Kaiba." He looks up and looked at her. He noticed that she really meant it and gave him a warm smile. Kaiba felt like giving one back but he didn't intend too.

"Don't you have something to do?"

"Um, I was thinking if you let me stay here and read a book from your shelf. I don't like being by myself." She turns and looked at his self's to see if he has any good books.

"No, I don't need you to distract me from my work like your doing right now."

"Look I promise I won't talk to you much and I assure you I won't distract you from your work. Like I told you I don't like being by myself I need some ones company and you're the only person here. So I am just asking for your company that's all." She turns her attention back to him and looked at him for a response. When she was young and in high school her parents were never there to keep her company, well sometime, she always sought for company any ones company even Kaiba's.

If she said she wouldn't bother him what harm will she be to his work besides her company wouldn't be that bad beside he didn't want to argue at this time. He looks away from his computer and looked at her.

"Fine"

"Thanks I'm going to get a book, okay?"

"Whatever just do not bother me." She watched him go back to his work and she headed to his shelf's which was across from him on the wall. She notice that all the books were about business How to Improve a Company

'More like How to Improve Your Ego' she started giggling.

Kaiba was once again concentrated in his work that it was broken by giggles.

'Giggles?'

"What the hell is so funny to disturbed my work?"

"Oh, I am sorry. I really didn't meant to laugh it is that well… your books sucks all you have is about improving companies and I'm not really interested in that kind of stuff."

"If my books suck then why don't you get out and leave my books and me alone?"

"Fine your book are not really that bad," whispers, "cry baby."

"What did you say?" He watched as she put her hands up and waving them as a stop signal.

"Hehe… nothing I only said that I will read one."

"That's what I thought now shut up and read."

'Stupid bustard's keeps mumbling curses in her mind as she went to the shelves and picks a book. She really didn't care what it was about as long it made her go to sleep. She started reading it and found it intriguing. It talks about how small things were sold to big bucks and regular people become billionaire. She keeps on reading it till she forgot about the time.

Two hours has passed

Tea was almost finishing reading the book she needed a couple of chapters to be done. She was getting to the good part "Starbucks" how it went to small to really big.

Kaiba was almost finishing with his new program he didn't really take notice what time it was and didn't care. He almost forgotten Gardner was at the same room as him.

Thirty minutes passes

'Finally I read the whole book' she got up and stretches her sore muscles.

'Shit, what time is it?'

Kaiba on the other hand was glad he finished his new program and didn't care how late it was.

Tea walked up to Kaiba desk and was going to ask him what time it was but she notices a clock behind him.

'1:30 AM I never been up this late in my life. It looks like Kaiba is use to this time with all the coffee cups on his desk those weren't there a couples of hours ago." She watched as Kaiba got up and stretches his soar muscles and looked at her.

"What?"

"Kaiba you do know it is 1:30 am right?"

"Yes I know so?"

"So don't you get to sleep?"

"Yeah and I'm going right now." He left and walk to his room which was three doors to his left.

"Kaiba, wait up!"

"What do you want? Are you considering sleeping with me?"

"No! You pervert, I just wanted to know what room I'm sleeping in?"

"Pervert? Well I'm not the one who was staring when I was stretching now was I?"

"Just tell me where I am sleeping."

"Fine, next door." Then he went to his room and fell in his bed he was very tired.

"Well good night, Kaiba." She walked to her room and opens the door it was like a freezer in the room. She also noticed there was no covers on the bed not even pillow in fact the whole room was bare.

'Does he expect me to sleep like this I don't think so!' She went to Kaiba's room and knock on the door madly.

"What the hell?" He got up and open the door there stood a pissed Gardner.

"Do you expect me to die of ammonia!"

"What are you talking about? Are there no covers on your bed?"

"No actually the whole room is bare!"

"Not again I told the maid to put them back. That's it she is getting fired."

"Good for you but what about me?"

"What about you?"

"KAIBA!"

"Fine you can sleep with me." Kaiba was showing his so called evil grin.

"What!"

"Look the maid only comes once a week to clean the house so no matter how much I hate to say this you'll have to be sleeping in here." 'It's such fun playing with her.'

She quickly turns away so he wouldn't be able to see her blush actually her face was madly red.

'Me and him in the same room is he out of his mind we might end up killing one another.' She turns around and Kaiba wasn't standing there anymore.

'Where did he go?' She went inside and also notice that his room had no light on she couldn't see anything and all of the sudden she tripped. She was not sure what made her fall but she came falling forward. She closed her eyes waiting for the impact with the floor but instead of falling flat on the ground she fell on something soft. She opens her eyes and couldn't see what she was lying on. She started touching the thing going up and it felt soft but hard at the same time. (Muscles you perverts, clearing throat, back to the story.) She went higher and she knew what it was.

"I see you made your decision" He felt the impact but lucky for him he fell on the bed. He felt her soft hands go up his body and stooping at his hair during all that he felt a vibration through his body and was surprised that Gardner was the cause of his vibration. He was also lucky that she couldn't see his cheeks going bright pink. He was soon consumed of cold air and saw Tea standing a distance from him. He must have made her feel very awkward because he notice her face was bright red. He wanted to laugh at her small action but he stopped himself. He didn't want to show his emotions to anybody especially her.

Tea thought she saw his mouth turn up but he sonly cover it with his static face. Was he afraid to show emotions to her? She didn't know the answer but she was going to make a promise.

'Kaiba whether you like it or not I am going to make you smile… not wait I will make you laugh. That's a promise.' She was smiling and it was freaking Kaiba out.

'What is she thinking about? What was she thinking to make her eyes be full of determination? This girl is full of surprises I couldn't make her out when we were younger and even now I can't. I assure you this Gardner I will figure you one way or another.'

The room was silence for both adults who were scheming to know how to discover one another. Tea was the first to break the silence.

"Eh… sorry I didn't mean to fall on top of you."

"Never mind that I'll be sleeping in the right side of the bed you can take the left."

"Are you sure about this because I can-"

"I made a decision you can accept it or you can sleep on the floor." He didn't let her answer instead he went to his side of the bed and lay down. Seto felt the bed moved and smirk.

On the other hand Tea was feeling really uncomfortable. She never slept with a man in bed and this was a first time she felt a body next to her. She didn't like the idea of sleeping on the floor so she took his afford but if he made one move on her she will rip his arms apart. She slip in the covers and closed her eyes trying to forget that Kaiba was in the same bed as her. She was falling in a deep slumber when she let some unexpected words fall out her mouth that she didn't even know that she did.

"I never shared a bed with a man…" Kaiba heard what she said and turn around to look at her. He keep on staring at her he didn't expect her to tell him that. He never knew that she had never been close to a man before and that he was the first to be this close to her. He notices how the moon reflected on her skin and how innocent she looked right now. In his life he would never compliment a person but Tea reminded him of a beautiful angel. He didn't have time to regret what he said because he was being consumed by sleep.
