So, after I had said I would write the next chapter soon, I seemed to fail doing so. Shifts around uncomfortably Err, sorry? Scratches head
Anyway! I finally got off my lazy ass and wrote the next chapter. In reality, I had ¾ or so of it done LAST week, but I forgot about it dodges objects and finally got back to it.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Leigha let out a long relaxed and content sigh and she snuggled up to her pillow. Her senses and body were in complete relaxation during the time she was resting. It took her only a few moments to realize that it wasn't a pillow she was snuggled against, but someone's rather hard chest.
Something isn't right here
Her eyes fluttered open. Something was around her waist, and she was snuggled up to something. Someone's body to be exact, slowly she raised her head and eyes to look at who she was so close to and so comfortable with. Her greens were staring wide-eyed into Seto's calm and serene expression.
"OH MY GOD!"
Falling off the bed in a frantic struggle to get away, she hit the ground with a loud THUNK! Seto woke with a start and looked around wild-eyed for the scream and the loud noise that woke him from his slumber. He calmed down when he looked over to Leigha's side of the bed. Two legs were up in the air from the ground. Seto gave a long sigh and got out of bed and walked around to peer at a Leigha on the ground with her legs in the air.
He looked down at her with a smirk on his face. Clearly he didn't realize that he was the cause of her actions from his arms wrapped around her figure and her body warm and close against his.
"What are you doing down there?" he snickered.
"It's because of you, I don't know what you put in my drink or-or in my food but I woke up and I was…"
She looked at the growing smirk on his face and the curious look in his navy eyes. She decided not to tell him, just to annoy him, and probably get him irritated at her so she wouldn't have to wake up again to his arms around her waist and her snuggled up against his chest. His bare chest. She shuddered at the very thought of her and her boss.
Argh! Definitely not a good thing to think about, especially in the wee hours of the morning.
She picked herself off the floor and walked across the room to a door she hadn't noticed before. She slowly reached for the knob and pulled the door open with a squeak.
Inside was a simple bathroom with a shower, bath, and a sink and a rather large mirror above the sink. The bathtub looked more like a Jacuzzi in her eyes. With it's 6 by 6 length and width, it could pull off for a small pool if need be.
She padded her way across the white marble until she reached the shower doors, it was see-through, a little too see-through for her taste but it would do if she could keep the door locked and shut away from Seto's wandering eyes.
She turned the knob on the shower that was indicated as hot with a red 'H' on the nozzle. Water came rushing out of the showerhead in a spray and soon the bathroom with filled with hot steam. She opened the door that led to the bedroom again and walked to the dresser, she could pull a pair of pants out of a drawer and just wear her shirt she wore yesterday. Luckily, it wasn't dirty and she could wear it again. But with the pants, sure they would be big, but she didn't want to wear that clingy skirt.
Seto watched her the whole time she made her way across the room to the dresser, where she searched for a pair of pants, and then padded away back to the bathroom door and shut it, followed by a distinct click. He was about to protest that those were his pants but grunted at the door and walked to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.
As he walked down the hall to the kitchen, an evil thought crossed his mind, he would get payback for all the times she annoyed him in the car with her insistent asking of questions and annoying the hell out of him. Leigha would pay for her nagging and badgering she always gave to the Seto Kaiba.
When he reached the kitchen he walked straight over to the sink. Now, most of you know when you start another appliance with water, the other appliance goes haywire. Yeah, that was just what Seto had in mind for her payback.
With an evil smirk on his face, he turned the faucet on the sink on full blast under a very hot temperature.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Leigha let the water slide down her body and then go down the drain. The warm sensation of the water made her relaxed from her previous ordeal. She shook the thought out of her head and scrubbed vigorously at her head with the soap, almost scratching so hard it hurt. Hoping that the soap would cleanse any dirty thoughts of her boss and her in the bed snuggled up next to each other.
She shivered.
Suddenly, the water's temperature got a little colder. She looked at the nozzle quizzically as if picturing the nozzle turning on it's own. She raised an eyebrow but then continued to let the rain fall to her hair to rinse the lathered shampoo.
She was not prepared for the warm sensation to turn into piercing daggers of freezing water.
And that was just what happened and she let her scream vibrate through her throat and crash against the walls of the door to reach Seto's waiting ears.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Not a moment later, he heard an ear-piercing scream come from the bathroom in the bedroom, followed by water turning off, and a pound of the door. Seto just stood there, waiting for her to come in, and he would play innocent. Insisting that he would never do such a thing, and it was merely an accident, that he had no idea whatsoever that it would effect her shower. What he wasn't prepared for was her wet hair plastered to her face and back and her body clad in only a white towel, too small for her curvaceous body, held tightly around her. The water from her hair and body slowly dripped to the floor as she stood there fuming.
"What the hell are you doing!"
After the initial shock of a nearly naked woman in front of his eyes wore off, he plastered a fake puzzled look on his face and pointed at his chest in mock innocence.
"Who? Me? Never."
That was the last straw. She marched right up to the tall, handsome brunette and poked her finger at his chest, and her face not far from his. An angry scowl was apparent on her beautiful face, and her eyes flashed in anger and pink brushed across her cheeks. She wasn't happy, not at all. She was livid at her interruption and at him.
Turning into an icy cold blast ruined her perfectly wonderful and warm shower. She could still feel the freezing water deep within her skin and give her goose bumps. She was shivering when she stormed through the halls to meet the CEO in the kitchen, the only place with other water appliances, and she was still shivering in front of him.
"Yes you! Who in their right mind else would do something so sinister?" she stammered with teeth chattering.
She was practically yelling in his face. But Seto just smirked and grinned all the more, she deserved it for being so obnoxious to him the other day, and being so nasty to him otherwise. Maybe the cold water would wake her up from her unhappy mood.
Obviously it didn't, she turned around on her heel and stormed away again to finish drying herself off and dress for the rest of the day in the hellish cottage with the hellish roommate that she had no idea why she was here. She slipped a little on the water that had dripped from her wet body on her way out, which earned a snicker from the highly amused CEO behind her. She huffed when she straightened herself out and continued to stomp away to the bathroom.
If he does anything else to piss me off, that man is sleeping on the couch! Or in that bathtub!
The thought brought an evil grin to her face of Seto being uncomfortable on the ugly gray couch, or in the tub and her turning on the water to give him a taste of his own medicine.
After continuously thinking of different tortures to give to her boss, she finished drying herself and her hair after a good 15 minutes. She walked out of the balmy room and steamed poured out through the door.
There sitting on the bed reading a book was Seto, his back resting against the headboard and his face buried in The Aquitaine Progression. (1)The thick book was put down on the side table as he glanced up to meet Leigha's eyes. He almost laughed at how the pants were too baggy for her and she held them up with her hand.
"Those are mine"
She looked at him and rolled her eyes heavenward.
"You could have told me that beforeI put them on"
He grunted and rose from the bed to walk to the cherry dresser. He quietly pulled out a pair of black slacks from the middle drawer and a white shirt from the one above it. After inspecting his new outfit, he walked over to where Leigha had stood throughout his search for new clothes.
She was blocking the door and Seto needed to get through to take a shower. He cleared his throat and caught her attention as she looked up into his navy eyes.
"I need to get through"
He stated and brushed by her to get though and close the door shut. Leigha didn't hear a click afterwards to tell her that he locked it and didn't want her inside. She watched the door for a moment, and a few moments afterward she heard the shower's water running and an opening and closing of shower doors.
She let out an irritated sigh and walked over to the bed where she collapsed face first into the soft pillows and mattress. She sucked in a breath and realized she had fallen where Seto was sitting reading his book. She just got a huge whiff of his ambrosial cologne.
She let out a content sigh and turned over so her back was against the sheets and her face faced skyward. Slowly she turned her head to the nightstand and noticed the book he was reading earlier.
She reached her hand over and groped towards the book. Finally having a hold on it she pulled it to her and opened it on the bookmarked page and stuck out her lips in thought. She started reading it, and easily became entranced by the action.
Chapter 16 huh? Let's see how good your book is…
Leigha started to read the first sentence in the book with a sarcastic expression but soon in turned into intense concentration, as she quickly became interested in the scene that was coming to life in her mind.
The telephone rang, jolting Connal Fitzpatrick out of a deep sleep. He had fallen back on the couch, the Van Headmer dossier in his hand, both feet still planted on the floor. Shaking his head and rapidly blinking and widening his eyes, he tried to orient himself. Where was he? What time was it? The phone rang again, now a prolonged, shattering sound. He lurched off the couch, his breath erratic, his exhaustion too complete to shake off in a few seconds. He had not really slept since California; his body and mind could barely function. He grabbed the phone, nearly dropping it as he momentarily lost his balance.
"Ye-
"What are you doing?"
Seto's voice broke her out of her vehement reading and she looked up quickly with glare and an annoyed look in her eyes. Just as she had before in the kitchen, he was standing at the door with a towel tied securely around his waist. His hair still damp from his warm shower and small beads of water were dripping from the tips of his bangs to the floor. He had a frown on his face with narrowed eyes, but it soon became a smirk from her lack of answer, and her staring at his half-naked form.
Her glare quickly melted away and her eyes widened at the sight before her. During the time in the bed with the half-naked prick, she didn't notice how well built he was under all the clothes he wore most of the time.
Seto cleared his throat after a little more staring on Leigha's part. She looked away with a light pink tinged her cheeks, now more from embarrassment. She quickly picked up Seto's book and covered her face with it. Seto snickered again as she heard the door close shut and a hairdryer turn on.
Leigha let out a long sigh and continued to read the exciting book. Again, she didn't hear or notice Seto step out of the bathroom door and walk over to the bed, until she felt the pressure on her right and the bed sink. She looked over her shoulder to see Seto bare backed, leaning over doing something with his feet.
"Um"
He didn't answer until he stood up and walked to the end of the bed to pick up his shirt.
"What?"
He slipped his arms through the sleeves but was careless about buttoning it. Leigha kept staring at his well-built chest, broad shoulders, and chiseled abdominal. Her eyes barely peering over the book at his form, and her blush well hidden behind the pages.
She shook her head and looked down at the book. Her mind was so jumbled in thoughts; the words on the pages seemed to be scattered about in front of her eyes. She closed her eyes tightly and then widened them to get a better look at the book. The squinted at the words until they were finally in understandable content and she continued to read.
Okay, where was I? Have to get my mind off sexy employers. Argh! I mean…annoying. Yeah.
When she looked up again to see if he was still there, there was no one in sight. She let out a relieved sigh and continued to read the book with mild interest. After her thoughts lingered on a certain someone for a long time, she still couldn't get her mind off of him after he had left.
I don't get it. He's just an arrogant jerk with no hospitality.
She slowly rose from the bed and swung her legs over the side. Her feet placed firmly on the carpet beneath her she stood up and placed the book back on the nightstand. She quickly walked to the bedroom door and peered out before stepping in the long hall.
She walked through it until she recognized the door to the kitchen. The warming smell of coffee took over her senses and she walked inside, to find a pot still hot from earlier.
After opening up all the cupboards, she finally came across the last one. All of the others either held plates, cans, or any other needs you would use in the kitchen.
I'll bet anything this is the one that holds the cups and mugs.
Sure enough, there sat 5 porcelain mugs on the shelf. She groaned as she grabbed the closest to her and filled it up with black coffee.
Okay. Now where's the crème and sugar?
A few minutes later, Leigha sat at the round table and was happily sipping on a cup of coffee, to her taste, and a newspaper in her hand scanning a few articles that caught her attention.
She idly wondered where Seto went off to when she was answered when she heard him pounding his way through the hall and then matching through the kitchen door and fell against a chair, letting out an annoyed sigh.
She blinked at him a few times unable to find anything to say. She was halfway through with taking a long sip of the hot liquid and the porcelain was still pressed to her red lips. Another warm sensation filled her body from the cup that was still radiating heat to her hand, and was held firmly in her grasp. The other hand held the newspaper just a few inches from her face. Finally finding her voice, she lowered the paper and asked him the first thing that came to her mind.
"Err, what's wrong?"
She had asked it more in a way that she was asking herself if it was the right thing to say. She honestly didn't know what to do, since he had just stomped his way though and collapsed against a chair. Well, more or less collapsed, but his back was now pressed against the chair and he was sitting up straight, his fingers laced and elbows placed on the table, examining the person sitting in front of him with a puzzled look on her face.
"You're reading the newspaper, I thought you would've figured it out by now" was his reply.
She brought her gaze back down to the paper. She had hardly noticed before, and nearly spat out her coffee in utter shock and rage at was in large bold headlines in front of her eyes.
Oh, there was going to be hell to pay.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Muahahahaha! CLIFFHANGER! What was on the headlines, you may ask. Well, if you review you just might FIND out! Cackle
Actually, as it may seem this wasn't that bad to write. It was pretty fun really. Too bad it took too long to post right? Argh, I'll get the next chapter out when this little writer's block of mine will subside and I can continue with more power! Haha!
Same stuff as always, read and review please!
Hope you enjoyed it!
