Chapter Five: Luncheon (in Seto's pov)
Within an hour, our lives changed. I sit in the limo quietly while looking out the window and somewhat listening to Mokuba and Claire chat. I glance her way every so often, and at some points she's looking over this way as well. Just to hear her voice sends shivers all around. It's like nothing bad will ever happen as long as she's around. When those bright green eyes look at you, every thought you had at that moment disappears. It's amazing.
Mokuba's looking out the window explaining some of the new buildings. Claire looks at me and I know that my future is secure. Looking down, I follow her gaze which leads to her left hand. My eyes widen slightly at the site. On her ring figure is the ring I got her for Christmas five years ago. I can't believe she remembered. I set my gaze back to her face, she smiles and mouths an 'I promised' to me. Mokuba takes her attention so I'm left in wonder and joy as the limo pulls up to Domino Restaurant.
(regular pov)
"Good afternoon Mr. Kaiba and Mokuba." The waiter greets. He gasps at Claire's site. "Oh my. Who is this lovely maden?"
Claire giggled. "Afternoon sir."
"Peppe this is Claire Walters." Mokuba introduced.
"Hm perhaps I should put more of a romantic tone on the sound system."
"That won't be necessary Peppe." Seto stated.
"Of course." He grabbed three menus. "This way." Peppe guided the three to a back cornor. "I will be back in a few to get your orders."
"Where are you staying at Claire?" Mokuba asked.
She put the menu down, folding her hands over it. "Well I live downtown in an appartment. Andreas thought it would be good to be living nearer to the park and some shopping places."
"Andreas?"
Claire laughed at the tone Mokuba used. "Yes Andreas. He was my father's limo driver. I came back to find that he wanted to drive me around. I've told him to stay home and enjoy the retired life, but he's stubborn. We're pretty good friends so it's all fun."
Mokuba nodded in better understandment.
They ordered and in no time their food was brought back. Mokuba and Claire chatted while Seto stayed silent, that was until Mokuba excused himself to take a call.
"He's grown so much. I'm amazed out of my mind." Claire laughed lightly. Seto smiled. "Is something wrong Seto?"
He looked at her. "What? No. Why would something be wrong?"
"I don't know." She shrugged. "It's just that you've been quiet for a time now. I just assumed that something was up."
Mokuba walked back over to the table. A smile on his face. "I know that your back, but..."
"Don't be silly. I'll see you all the time. Go have fun." Claire said.
Mokuba turned to Seto. "Big brother?"
"Yea go on."
"Thanks." Mokuba quickly walked out of the resturant. Ali was waiting outside. She moved over so he could drive.
"He's matured so much. Flew right passed me. I never even saw it coming." Seto said randomly.
Claire looked down. "I know, they catch you off guard. Without warning things change so fast."
Seto placed his hand over Claire's. She looked at him. "I should be going back, Seto."
"Walk with me in the park." He said without much thought. He was in such a daze there was nothing that was going to separate them so quickly.
Nodding and smiling, Claire agreed to walk with him in the park.
