"Gardner?" That one work hit her hard, the hardest any word had hit her in a long time.
"Kaiba?" Tea said in shock as she looked into his icy eyes that drew her closer to him. Tea stood up in front of Kaiba, she didn't know what to say, she didn't know what to do, should she leave?
"Lets sit down, I think people are starting to stare at us…." They both sat down and ordered their food. Kaiba and Tea started to chat about their past, they both knew a lot about each other because Tea had been on TV and Kaiba was usually on the news for his company. Kaiba told Tea how he came to the US to make franchises of his company Kaiba Corp, and make Kaiba Land, which he had promised his brother to do so.
"Tea, you look so different now, you look prettier" Kaiba said as he realized he was being too kind to her.
"Thanks, you seem nicer now," They continued to talk about their past, and Kaiba asked her if she would join his company as their lawyer.
"I don't know, dance takes up a lot of my time, I can't be working with you all the time," Tea said looking down at the floor feeling bad that she had dragged Kaiba all the way from his work just to get rejected.
"That's okay, I'm sure we can work out something for your time issues," Was this the Seto Kaiba? Being this nice? There was some catch, there had to be, Tea would not accept this man for Seto Kaiba.
"What's the catch Kaiba? All lunch you've been so nice to me, talking to me like we were old friends. I know your up so something." Tea said to him with as she cocked her eyebrow.
"Right you are Gardner, right you are. I need a person to be with me all the time now, I didn't tell you, but I have tendonitis in my right arm. Which isn't serious or anything it will heal in a month or so, but I need someone to write for me. It seems that all the work I've been doing has put a great deal of strain on my arm, and I need a person to help me with everything I would do with my arm." Kaiba smirked his old fashioned smirk, god he wasn't a new person, maybe a little, but no this was Seto Kaiba.
"Why should I help you Kaiba? Get some stupid person from your office to help you." Tea replied getting a little mad.
"Well now, what would people say if some stupid person from the office was with my all the time? I need someone to be with me at home, in the office, at the store or anywhere else, because I'm not suppose to be putting a strain on my arm at all. What would the media say if I was with some guy from my office all the time? I need someone that the media already thinks of as a highly person, meaning you." Kaiba relaxed a little and sat back in his seat waiting for Tea to reply to what he offered to her.
"What about my dancing career? If I have to be with you all the time how am I suppose to do my two other jobs, a dancer and a lawyer?" Kaiba gave her another smirk.
"Simple, you can go to your dancing, just come back to me afterwards, and with your lawyer job, take a break from it for a month. I'll pay you whatever you want for the month you help me, and you know the media will like you better because your going to be helping me." The deal was closed, Kaiba was right, she would become more well known if she helped him. She hated to admit it, but all the fame she had gotten from her dancing and being a lawyer was something she would want to keep. Even though she hated to sign autographs she enjoyed it, knowing people looked up to her.
"Fine, I'll help you for a month, and I'll give you the price you pay me after the month is over. I don't know how much money will be worth spending a month with you after all."
Tea went back to her apartment and got enough things for a month, and went to the address that Kaiba had given her. When her car stopped in front of the address it was a large mansion in the outskirts of the city. It was lovely, with trees around it, and large flowers everywhere. Around the mansion were gates with the letter SK, she guessed it meant Seto Kaiba. She rang the buzzer on the gate and the gates opened. As she walked through the lawn to the mansion it was like she was in heaven. The flowers smelled great, the sky was blue, and she couldn't even tell she was ten minutes away from New York City.
When she reached the door she rang the bell, which opened the doors right away. She looked inside and gasped, it was the largest house she had ever seen, but enough about the house she was here for a job.
"Hello Tea, nice to see you actually came." It was none other than Seto Kaiba himself. He had changed into comfy jeans, and a blue shirt. His arm had bandages wrapped around it, and attached to his neck to support it.
"Kaiba you know that tendonitis isn't that serious? Its just like you pulled a muscle, only a little bit more seriously. It has happened to me before too.." Tea said to Kaiba as she looked around where she was standing.
"I agree, but I have a very serious tendonitis, because before I only had a minor arm pull, but I kept working it and it caused me this." His voice sounded sad, and mournful, and lonely.
"Are you brothers here with you?" Tea asked with curiosity.
"No there back in Japan, I didn't want them to have to come with me."
"Oh," And with that a serious of unfortunate events began, or was it fortunate? We'll have to see for ourselves.
Hoped you liked it, I know its kind of slow right now, but I promise it'll get better!
