Marik leaned down to kiss Serenity's lips once more, brushing the strands of hair away from her sweaty face and he smiled. He kissed the side of her neck, her collarbone.
"You are so good at that," he told her, knowing she would not know how to react. He was right. Serenity could only squirm and hide her face behind her hands.
Marik pulled away from her and laid down beside her, once more brushing her hair out of her face. He smiled and kissed her nose gently, and did the right thing and stayed with her as she fell asleep. Later a loud knocking sounded at the door followed by Marik's brother's voice.
"Marik wake up!" The door began to open, but Marik made a dashed for the door. Slamming it shut quickly, "I'm awake. What do you want?"
"We were suppose to spend the day together. Remember."
"…..Yeah just give me a minute." he said.
Serenity looked around the room for her clothes and found them under the bed. Running into the bathroom she tried the shower. Marik, now dressed, went out to see his brother. Odion was sitting on the couch looking at an photo album. He knew his brother won't organize a photo album so he came to the only possibly conclusion .
"Marik what is you're girlfriends name?" He asked while continuing through the album.
"What are you talking about?" Marik said feeling his heart beat faster.
"Marik, it's obvious. The flowers, the unnecessary pillows and the throw rug…..did the mention the flowers. She lives here doesn't see."
"No." Marik said with his eyes one the album his brother was coming dangerously close to the pages full of pictures of Serenity and him.
"So who is she?"
"Who?'
"The truth will set up free." Odion said and turned the page of the album, "Oh her isn't that Joseph's sister?"
"….No."
"Marik you're a bad liar. Serenity, that's what her name was. Didn't like her during battle city?"
"No!"
Marik's bedroom door opened and Serenity, in a wet towel, dashed out to her room across the hall. Odion saw this a looked at his brother, "What is she doing in you're room?"
"Bathing."
"This penthouse has three complete bathrooms, Marik. Are you two have sex?"
"……uh no." Marik was totally panicking. And Serenity didn't make it any better when she came out of her room wearing her white bikini.
"Hi Odion!" She said hugging him before and then turned to Marik, "I'm going to the pool to sunbathe."
"Uh okay?"
"Good I'll see you later." Serenity stood on the tip toes and kissed Marik on his lips before she left.
"She kiss you like that and you two aren't an item." Odion said and stood, "How old is she?"
"I forget."
"Well just to let you know. Is looks old enough. Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah." The two brothers left and went in to the garage, "Odion what's been going on with you? This is the first time I've seem you in like 3 months."
"My job is demanding. I have adults your age and older to teach."
"Is it hard?"
"Not really. But how about you? You 'bartend' right?"
"Yeah."
"So when are you going to get a serious job."
"I do have a serious job!"
"A job that you don't rely on tips mostly."
"How much do you think I get paid in tips?"
"$30 on a good night."
"Try $100."
"Marik what else do you do at that club?"
"….You're horrible."
Meanwhile Kaiba and Ishuzu were indulging in another 1823 bottle of red wine, from Italy. Kaiba was only tipsy, as for Ishuzu she was totally intoxicated. She couldn't even stand up if out falling over. Kaiba found it rather hilarious. He stood up and wobbled and took Ishuzu hand. And pulled her over to him, "Come on."
"Where are we going?" She asked as they went up the stairs. They went into the master bed room and the door closed behind them, "What are we doing up here?" Ishuzu asked and laid back against the bed, when a episode of dizziness came over her. Kaiba opened one of the draws of the night table and looked though it. When he didn't find it there he carried a cross the bed, doing this he crawled over Ishuzu . For that brief moment they where in a sexual position and temptation showed it's face again. Ishuzu leaned upwards and kissed Kaiba on his lips. He, of course, returned it 100. He pulled away after a moment and rolled off of her and onto the floor. He quickly popped back up and tried looking through the other draw.
"Here it is!" The said holding a pack or pills.
"What is that?"
"It'll get you sober. I need to asked you something."
Kaiba handed out a pill for her and Ishuzu took it and popped it into her mouth . It dissolved on her tongue and she felt entirely fine.
"Wow! That cool! Now what did you need to ask me?"
"Well…um….would you…..marry me?"
"……really…that's what you want to ask me.." Ishuzu said having a delayed reaction.
"Yeah pretty much."
"…OH GOD YOU'RE SERIOUS!"
"Uh Huh."
"Yes! Of course! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to ask me?"
"A while." Kaiba gave Ishuzu the engagement ring. It was pure silver and diamond encircled the ban. It was worth enough to pay for the wedding and honeymoon but knowing how Ishuzu would react he didn't tell her that!
"Since we're engaged now do you want to have sex?"
Not even answering her, he got her on her back and assaulted her neck. Things got very heated up and most of their clothes were already off. But like always something happened. Mokuba came back and was looking for then. Mokuba tried to open the door but found the door locked.
"Seto! Are you in there?" Mokuba called from outside.
"Yeah kid."
"Open the door I've got something to show you…and Ishuzu!"
Ishuzu and Kaiba bother sighed deeply. They'd try again later. Getting dressed again Kaiba opened the door and Mokuba held newspaper in front of him, "Look the top 20 hottest couples! You two are number are number one!"
"Really! I don't believe it!" Ishuzu said, "Too great things in less than one hour."
"What's that?"
"Your brother finally proposed!"
"God are you serious?" Mokuba excited for them, "So when are you too planning to get married. And where?"
"What do you mean where?" Kaiba asked.
"Are you two get married there in Japan or in Egypt?" Silence filled the room, "Well."
"I avoid places that are hot year around." Kaiba said.
"I survived a winter there! You could at least spend a summer in Egypt." Ishuzu said.
"I burn easily. No matter what. Things have to be neutral."
"Where else then?"
"How about Europe?"
"Where in Europe?"
"France."
"--"
"Wait I know what you're about to see 'Not everyone can afford to go to France' however you forget who I am. Everyone you invite will be able to go."
"We need to get back home. School starts tomorrow and I don't have a uniform."
"Why can't you wear you're brother's?"
"Well, I'd die of suffocation." Mokuba said, "If you haven't noticed I'm not his size…." Mokuba looked at his brother, "It looks painful."
