I need to start coming up with chapter names. Roar.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Leigha sat on the edge of her bed, tears cascading down her face and to the floor. She knew why she went back to Kaiba Corp., but didn't think it was a good enough reason. She didn't know if it was really true. But she didn't have anywhere to go, and she couldn't run the whole 5 blocks back to her house when she knew it was the time when everyone was out. So she headed back to Kaiba Corp. when she realized she left her laptop there. How could she forget something so important? But when she got there she saw a light on so she continued up and crashed into a chair in the dark halls.
Leigha got undressed and put on her pajamas and slipped into bed, where sleep overcame her and she was dreaming peacefully.
The next morning Leigha's alarm clock went off. She grumbled as she reached over and hit the 'off' button. She pulled the covers back over her head and realized it was Friday.
"Finally," she said.
Leigha got up from her bed and took a shower. The warm water felt good against her skin as she finished washing her hair.
As she stepped out and dried herself off, she wrapped a towel around her and went into her room. She rummaged through her closet and found what she was looking for. She put on her black blouse, a khaki pencil skirt, and black open-toed heels. She blow-dried her hair a bit and pulled it into a messy ponytail and placed two clips on the side to hold some hair back from her face.
Instead of walking to work she was contemplating whether or not she should wave down a taxi. She didn't know why she hadn't thought of it before, but she realized of all the money that she would lose if she were trying to save to buy a car. She sighed deeply and headed to Kaiba Corp. where she would start her day, and probably end it.
As she opened the front doors everyone that was in the main lobby looked at her. All of a sudden, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"There she is!" a person at the desk yelled. Leigha was soon surrounded by people and bombarded with questions. She didn't know what was so interesting about her at the moment, and kept a puzzled expression on her face.
"We heard you were here last night late with Mr. Kaiba, what were you doing?" someone asked.
Her eyes started to widen. 'What the hell? How do they know I was here last night with…' her thoughts were interrupted by another question.
"Are you two going steady?" another asked.
"What? No! Pardon me! Move it!" she tried to make her way through the people as the questions kept coming and finally escaped but someone grabbed her arm and pulled her against them.
"What's going on?" a deep voice was heard.
Leigha looked up and saw Seto. She was leaning against him and her hands and forearms were placed on his chest and abdomen. She pushed herself off of him and didn't notice the faint blush on her cheeks, but just stared coldly at him.
"You should know! Everything is about you! I just walked inside and all these people came up to me and started asking crazy questions like…" Leigha stopped. Was it a good idea to tell Seto what they had been asking her?
"Well?" he urged her to continue, but she lowered her eyes to the ground, her eyes starting to harden from ice into stone, and narrowed dangerously as she looked back at Seto. She didn't want to deal with him when she would tell him what happened, and she had a feeling Seto had something to do with it, but she knew exactly how he would react.
"Go ask them yourself," she growled and walked away in a huff towards her office.
Seto raised his eyebrow at her as he watched her walk away but walked to the groups of people talking. He stopped when he heard a quiet conversation, and hid behind a pillar when everyone started to leave.
"Did you see how Seto pulled her against him, they must be going out!" someone said.
Seto started to narrow his eyes.
"They are such a good couple!" someone else said.
"But Seto? Who knew he could ever like someone!" he heard them all laugh and then leave in their separate directions.
'Morons! Leigha and I an item! Ha! I'd love to see the day that happens, like I'd ever go out with her!' Seto thought and strode off back to his office.
'I wonder what gave them the idea that Leigha and I were…' Seto's thoughts were cut short by a scream.
As Leigha headed back to the office she came in contact with Mitchell again and he pushed her into an old office room that hadn't been used for a long time, and locked the door.
"What do you think about my little offer a few days ago?" he tried to seduce her.
"No, I would never get with a disgusting, vile, and crude man like you in my life," she snorted.
He came over to her and picked her up and placed her on a desk, his hands still around her waist and slid down her thighs.
"I told you no! What part of that don't you understand!" Leigha started to pry his hands off of her.
"Stop resisting! You're just making it harder," he said as he had started to kiss her neck.
Leigha didn't know what to do. This was just like her experience in the alley a couple of years ago. She started to stop hitting him and resisting and she went limp and numb all over.
"That's a girl," he started, "just let me do what I want and you can leave without getting hurt," he whispered.
Leigha had started to cry hysterically and let out an ear-piercing scream.
"Shut up!" he covered her mouth. "Someone will hear you!" he took his hand away and pressed his lips against hers to quiet her sobs and screams. He had started to unbutton the top of her blouse when he heard the doorknob trying to be open.
"Who's in there?" a voice asked.
"Help me! Please!" Leigha moved her face from her attacker and yelled at the person at the door.
The door was kicked off its hinges and fell to the floor. There at the door's frame, stood a tall figure, it looked incredibly familiar. She soon realized who it was.
"Seto!" she screamed. She didn't know why she had called him Seto, she had always called him Mr. Kaiba, but calling him Seto only seemed appropriate at the moment.
"I thought I told you to stay away from her Mitchell!" he had said fiercely to her captor. He grabbed his collar and slammed him against the wall. (A/N: By the way, Mitchell is his last name, not his first. ;;)
"I don't need you around here, trying to take advantage of my employees," he growled at him.
"Mr. Kaiba, it won't happen again I swear," he had started to beg.
"You said so before, yet you lied to me and I don't want to hear it, you're fired," he pulled him off the wall and threw him at the ground.
"Get out of my sight," he sneered at the body on the ground.
Mitchell had gotten up in pain and stood there a second and before he ran off he looked at Leigha and licked his lips at her.
"I'll get you one day," he said. Leigha shuddered and kept her eyes away.
Seto had turned back to Leigha when he made sure that Mitchell was gone and out of his company. Leigha was still sitting at the desk with tears flowing down her face and onto her khaki skirt. The top of her blouse was unbuttoned and Seto could see her pink lace undergarment that was under her blouse. Seto had started to walk towards the door when he heard Leigha speak.
"Mr. Kaiba," she said softly.
He turned his head to look at her. Tears had stained her face with streaks of wet on her cheeks when she looked up at him, and her eyes were turning red. But she still looked more beautiful than ever. Her eyes were a gorgeous green and sparkled with her tears, but again her eyes were narrowed. Her hair had started to come out of its ponytail, and fell around her face. Seto's eyes softened a little at the sight of her while hers had stayed in her painful stare.
"Thank you," she got up from the desk and started to button her shirt back up and walked passed him and out the door to her office.
She didn't know how she could thank him. She couldn't run up and hug him, which would be too much and she wasn't that type of person, for the both of them. She kept up the arguing with herself until she had come to the conclusion she would invite him to dinner tonight as a thank you just so she wouldn't feel like she owed him, even though she owed him her life.
'Yeah, that's what I'll do' she had agreed with herself.
She sat at her desk and started typing at her laptop. Her desk was very neat and organized. Her pencils and stapler at the front, her lamp to her left and her 'in' and 'out' boxes at her right. And her laptop was placed in front of her.
She was working on some things Seto had given her earlier in the week and she hadn't finished it. She had her pen in her mouth in case she found something interesting and wrote it down on a piece of scratch paper by her laptop.
Seto had walked in to find his employee at work before she looked up at him. No longer were her stares cold and hard, but now she just gazed at him with pain in her eyes.
Seto walked to his desk at sat down in his chair. As Seto stared at the blank computer screen in front of him, he noticed a pair of green eyes gazing at him. He quickly turned to her and stared right back into her orbs with his own.
"What?" he said.
Her gaze turned into a scowl and she turned back to her laptop. Her scowl softened as she kept thinking about how he had saved her.
"I thought I told you to stay away from her Mitchell!" Seto had said fiercely.
She sighed and continued typing at her laptop.
Seto had also started to type at his laptop. But stopped every now and then to think about his encounter a few minutes ago. He couldn't concentrate on his work; his mind kept wandering to the room where he had found Leigha. That dirty, filthy, son of a bitch trying to- 'I saved her, that's it, she owes me her life, and nothing else, somehow I'll find a way for her to repay me, maybe an hour more at work or so, she needs to finish some things' Seto thought.
skipping to like 6:50 PM at night
Seto was working hard at his laptop when he had turned his head to look at his personal secretary; she was still typing at her laptop with a pen in her mouth. Her hair was now loosely hanging in random places from her messed ponytail. She had rolled up her sleeves because they kept getting annoying while she was typing. (A/N: That happens to me so much T-T) He heard her clicking away at the keys while he moved his thoughts back to the system. 'Okay, this new system should work a lot better than the other one' Seto saved his progress and got up from his chair. Leigha looked up at him as he headed towards the door just to get away.
"Where are you going," she asked.
"No where, I just need some air," he said curtly.
"Wait, Mr. Kaiba," she stopped him as she stood up from her chair.
"What is it?" he asked.
Leigha had gotten up from her chair, walked around her desk, and was now 2 feet in front of him. She had never noticed how tall he was compared to her. Her eyes reached just above his chin and she looked up at him. She cleared her throat and decided now was the best time since she was supposed to leave in 10 minutes and she needed to finish things up.
"Since you…saved me and all," she started to shudder at the emphasized word but continued, "I was wondering, if you would…care coming to dinner with me at 8:00 PM tonight?" she asked.
She was glad she finally got that off her chest.
Seto looked at her for a moment before answering.
"Since this seems to be the only way you see the way you can repay me, that is fine, but I also have some other things in mind," he gave her a smirk.
Her eyes started to widen.
"What kind of…things?" she asked bewildered at his comment.
Seto let out a loud laugh before continuing, "you wish," again a small smirk was on his face and it was starting to annoy her as she gritted her teeth in frustration. " I was thinking more along the lines of an extra hour or so of you here in your office," he stated.
Leigha gasped and looked at him her eyes as wide as possible. Her face turned icy and bitter and her scowl returned back to her face.
"You wouldn't," she said coldly.
"Indeed? Why wouldn't I?" he asked. His smirk had become more evident on his face.
"Kaiba! I'm already here from 6 or 7 in the morning to 7 at night. That's my whole day gone by! People do sleep you know, unlike you," she said sarcastically.
Seto's smirk disappeared from his face. And he looked at her angrily.
"I sleep," he sneered.
"That's hard to believe, you were here at 2 in the morning when I was here," it was her turn to smirk.
"That's right, you were here at 2 in the morning, what were you doing?" he asked.
"I…uh…" she stammered, but quickly changed the subject. "Hey, how about going to dinner, I'm starving," she walked off and out the door.
Seto sighed in impatience and followed her out the door reluctantly, he would just have to ask her about it when they were dining and the subject would be brought up again, or if they even talked.
