Ok, two more, after this one. The final chapter will be posted on Thursday, July 7th. If you dont know of what importance that day is. I dont think that you should read this story. I'm only jokeing. Its Mokuba's birthday. FYI.
Stupid businessmen. They are twice our age, and think that they can push us around. Yes, Seto is older, 33, and me well I'm just 28. Were the youngest President and Vice President of a company in the history of the world. But we beat that at age 14 and 9. These people think that we don't know what we are doing, they think that were dumb, children. They think we are now, they really didn't like us then.
"So let me get this straight, you want 10,000 systems by next week?"
"Yes."
"With all respect Mr. Kaiba, that wont be possible."
"I didn't ask for excuses, I asked for the systems. Now if you can't do it, I'll find someone else to do it. I know that you don't want to loose this account." He scares the shit out of people. He has two completely different personalities. There is the Seto that sits behind the desk at Kaiba Corp, and then there is the Seto that plays with Kedzie for hours on end.
"I'll do what I can."
"I'm sure you will." One day, Kedzie will be in business with us. She's too young right now. Right now, she's asleep at home, with her Nanny. She's three and can read and write her name. He wants her to be smart, like her mother, like me. "Stupid people. He can meet the demand, he knows that. He just doesn't want to."
"Maybe you sound take it so personal. You after all, are expecting an awful lot."
"And that is an issue because?" I shook my head. He can be so unreasonable sometimes. "Ready to go home?"
"No, I have work I need to get done."
"Ok." He left. He's going to go home and play with Kedzie. I lied. I don't have work to do, I just don't want to go home. Sometimes it bothers me, them being so close. I feel like I'm the mother in her life, and her is that father. I'm not jealous, I'm just… I can't explain it.
My office is down the hall form Seto's. It's not as big as his, after all, I'm just the vice president. But it's still a large office. There are little or no decorations. I find that they clog the mind. Seto has a few paintings and such in his office. I have photographs on my Desk. One Of Eliza and I. Then one of Kedzie. They do look so much alike. I know that when she is older, 16 or so. She'll be like her mother. And the boys will really be all over her. That makes me feel… uneasy. I know that I'll eventually have to let her go. And that really frightens me. I'll eventually have to sit in my car and watch her walk into her school when she's 5, I'll eventually have to watch her carry her book bag at a collage in another country, I'll eventually have to give her away, warring white. I shivered. I don't want to think about that right now. After all, she's only 3. A very smart, and lovely 3, but a 3 nonetheless.
"Mokuba." Her name is Taka. She is lovely. I love her long blonde hair. It's down to her hips. "I have the files that were just faxed to us form KL Paris." Se also has pretty hands. And she smells nice. "How is Kedzie?" Kedzie loves her. Whenever I bring her to the office, Taka always knows the right thing to say, and the right way to say it.
"She's fine. Her fever has gone down."
"I'm glad to hear that." She said it, and she meant it, I know. "And how are you today?" I don't know how to answer her, lonesome, deprived, depressed, what do I say to that?
"I'm fine. And you."
"Alright I suppose."
"How was your date?" She blushed. She was amazed at I had remembers it. She told me about it the other day.
"Oh… it was alright. The guy turned out to be kinda a jerk though."
"I'm sorry to hear that. You really do disserve the best." Why did I just say that? Because I meant it. I like her, damn.
"Why thank you Mokuba… I was wondering, if its not to um… inviolable. Would you like to go out for some coffee?" I like her, I cant like her, Kedzie is the only woman for me. But… "Ok, I'll… See you later then." She left. I… can't explain it. They look so much alike, Kedzie and Eliza. I… I never want Kedzie to forget about her mother… I…
"Taka, wait."
