Chapter Seven: Appartment Dropoff
Andreas was sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper when Claire and Seto walked in. Ice cream covering them. "Miss Claire..?"
"Andreas this is..."
"Seto Kaiba. Yes I know who he is. Evening Mr. Kaiba." Andreas shook his hand. "Shall I get some tea or lemonade?"
Claire was in her room changing. "I would like lemonade, but only if it is homemade."
"Of course Miss Claire." He took out two glasses. "Would you like some Mr. Kaiba?"
Seto stood at the table. "Uh no thanks."
The shower was turned on and could be heard by the two gentlemen in the dining room.
Several minutes later Claire walked out of her room, putting her half dry hair up. She was wearing shorts and a tank top. The tan top and white shorts, brought out her tan. Seto lost himself in thought and almost lost his grip on the chair he was clutching.
"You can use the bathroom to clean up if you'd like, Seto." Claire smiled while taking a drink.
Smiling nerviously he went to the back to clean up.
Andreas looked suspiciously at her. "So dare I ask, what have you been doing all day?"
Claire laughed. "Well I went over to Kaiba Corp. We went for lunch. Then Seto bought us ice cream while we walked the park. Apparently we had some fun and fought with the ice cream."
Andreas nodded. "Why am I not surprised."
She rolled her eyes momentarily and poured some more lemonade.
"Well looks as if this is the best I'm going to get until I get home." Seto stated walking into the dining room. "Which means I should be getting on."
Claire hugged him. "Today was great Seto. I had alot of fun."
"Yea, me too." He smiled. Grabbing his jacket he walked to the door.
"Thanks again Seto." She closed the door quietly behind them as they went out in the hall.
"Of course. Though I wished that you came to us, instead of coming here." His blue eyes were sincere.
Claire blushed a light pink. "I didn't what to make things ackward. Afterall there is a five year split."
Seto moved closer to her. He brushed her cheek sofly. "Goodnight Claire." Both hearts skipped a beat when he kissed her again. Smiling he left her there.
"Goodnight, Seto." She whispered going back into the appartment.
The stranger from the park was around the cornor hidding. "So this is where you are at my love. And he is the one you came back for." A grin came to his face. "Interesting."
"I thought you said you didn't know Seto Kaiba?" Andreas asked when Claire dreamly walked back into the living room.
"Well it would depend on how you use the word, know."
He raised a brow at her. "None-the-less I should be getting home as well." He stood to take his glass to the sink. "Goodnight Miss Claire."
"Goodnight Mr. Andreas." She called over her shoulder, turning on the tv.
Closing the door behind him, he shook his head and laughed.
Claire yawned and streched. On her way to her room she saw that there was two missed calls. "Huh I wonder who called." She press the 'replay' button.
"You have two new messages. Message one: 'Claire...Claire are you there? No of course not. It's Ian. I wanted to apologize for a couple of weeks ago. I don't know why you left Manchester but Mac has been a reck ever since. He's went missing and I was hoping he didn't follow you. But he wouldn't so maybe he's just away. Anyway call when you can. Miss you."
"Message two: 'Claire? Claire darling I know you're there. Pick up this phone and talk to me like normal hun. Fine be that way. I'll be in Domino City on Tuesday. I'm tired of playing these games Claire, they aren't funny. Ian told me you left after that incident. I told you that it was an accident. Shelby and I...it was nothing. Now I know you told me that you were already in love and that this guy was great and to leave you alone...but come on, this is bogus. No one is going to wait five years. Anyway if I can find you I'll come by during the weekend ok. Love you baby."
Claire looked at the phone with surprised eyes. She fell to her knees. "Oh no. What am I to do now?" The doorbell rang, startling her. Getting up she relunctantly walked over. "Who is it?"
"Miss Claire I forgot my keys." Andreas's voice calmed her. She opened the door taking his keys off the small table. "Thank you again. Goodnight." He said when she handed them to him.
"Goodnight and becareful traveling home." Closing the door, she sighed and proceeded to her room for the night.
