"MANAGER?" She screamed and he laughed again.

"Yeah. You didn't think I was going to fire you, did you?" he asked with fake sadness.

"But I can't be the manager. I don't have any experience." She said.

"You'll learn along the way. And I have a teacher for you. Meet Jeanie." He pointed to a woman in early thirties.

"Hi." Jeanie said.

"She had managed many 4 and 5 star restaurants in domino and now she'll help you." yami explained.

"Management is not as hard as it seems. You'll get a hang of it in no time." Jeanie said and left.

"Yami, I can't believe you did all this. But why?" tea said in amazement. His actions confused and scared her.

"I couldn't get yesterday's incident out of my head. I didn't want you working here but I knew you couldn't find any other job. So I bought this place and gave you a better job." He honestly replied. Tears of joy came in her eyes and she hugged him.

"Oh yami, that's the most sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I don't know what to say."

"Well, you can start by saying I love you." he joked and she punched him playfully in the arm.

"Yami, stop it." She said.

"It was worth a shot." He said smiling and she smiled.

"Thanks." She whispered.

"I did this to see you smile." He said and tea blushed.

"I better get to work if I want to satisfy you, boss." She said and walked inside. Yami just watched her.


"This is great tea. I'm proud of you." yugi said to a smiling tea.

"Yeah. I love the food and it's quantity." Joey said.

"And the fact that you don't have to pay for it." Tristen said and joey glared at him. Tea laughed at her friends. She had missed them.

Yami and tea had invited everyone to the burger world for a little party. So far, everything was going smoothly. Mai and the other girls hadn't said a word. Marik, malik and bakura had sworn not to pull any pranks. And seto hadn't said a word. Maybe because she had been ignoring him purposely.

"Hey tea, can we get some wine here? We're all out." Ryou said. Since this was a special occasion, they were having wine. Tea wasn't going to drink it, but the rest wanted it.

"Ok. I'll get to it." She said and walked towards the counter. She reached out to grab the bottle but someone grabbed her hand and dragged her into a dark corner.

"Trying to avoid me?" a husky voice, belonging to seto kaiba rang in her ear.

"Let me go." She struggled to get out of his grasp.

"Why? You love it." He said and kissed her neck. His action caused tea's knees to buckle. They hadn't seen or talked to each other since that night. This little contact made her realize how much she had missed him, his touch, his lips, and the feel of his skin against hers and the feel of his hands on her body. For a second, she totally forgot about everything. The only thing on her mind was the pleasure he was bringing her.

"You look gorgeous tonight." He whispered as he licked her earlobe, sending shivers down her spine. She moaned as his mouth left her ear and moved to kiss her bare shoulder. She was wearing a blue dress with one strap over the left shoulder. It reached up to her knees, with a slit on one side to show her lower thigh. seto's hand slipped through the slit in the dress and stroked her inner thigh. She may not admit it butshe had craved his touch. She loved him so much. Wait.

"Seto, stop." she pushed him away from her neck. He stared at her surprised.

"What's wrong?" he asked her.

"What you're doing is wrong." She said.

"I don't understand." He was confused. He knew she wanted him, then why this?

"I can't do this anymore." She whispered.

"What? Why can't you?" he asked.

"Because I know you don't love me. You only want me for my body." she said with tears in her eyes. Watching those tears inflicted paint o seto's heart, but he quickly masked it.

"Again with this stupid love shit." He said. "Can't we go back to the way we were before?"

"No. No we can't. Not until I know you want me for me, and not my body," she said.

"That's ridiculous." Seto snapped.

"It is to you, but not to me," she slowly said.

"Hey tea, you there? Joey is yelling for wine." Yami's voice from behind then ended their little chat.

"Hey yami, sorry about that. I was caught up, talking to kaiba." Tea said smiling at him. Kaiba growled.

"Really? What were you talking about?" yami asked curiously.

"None of your business yami." Seto snapped but tea spoke.

"Actually, he was commenting on the service."

"So, what did he say?" yami asked.

"He is complaining. It's not up to his standards." Tea said and yami smirked.

"That's kaiba. Nothing it too good fro him. But honestly, I am very impressed."

"Thanks yami." Tea smiled and seto burned with jealousy.

"Let's get the drinks." She suggested, but yami stopped her.

"No need. I already gave them. Didn't want you to work with those beautiful hands." Yami said kissing her palms in a romantic way. Seto couldn't take it anymore. He swiftly turned around and walked away from them. Yami ignored seto and continued talking to tea, while they walked back to their friends.

"Hey tea, what's the deal with the dance floor?" bakura asked her.

"Oh, I thought it was a nice idea to have a dance floor for people. Sop far, it has been working like a charm." She said.

"Then why don't you dance for us tea?" ryou suggested.

"What? Me? No." she said stepping back.

"Come on tea. The party is no good without entertainment." Marik said.

"Sorry guys. Not this party." Tea said apologetically.

"But I thought we already had entertainment." Malik said confused.

"Yeah. Strippers." Bakura added.

"No we don't." tea said, equally confused.

"Then why are they here?" bakura pointed at mai and the girls. Everyone broke into fits of laughter, while tea frowned.

"Stop it you guys." She said.

"Come on tea. One dance won't hurt." Yami said.

"Ok. But on one condition." Tea smirked.

"What?" he asked.

"You have to dance with me," she said and he smirked.

"With pleasure." he said and led her to the floor. Tea glanced at seto from the corner of her eyes and noticed the jealous look in his eyes. Perfect.

Tea turned on a slow song and walked up to yami. He extended his hand like a gentleman. She accepted his hand and he pulled her towards him. Yami placed his hands around her waist while tea placed hers around his neck. They slowly started moving with the music.

Seto glared at yami as he placed his arms around tea. 'He has no right.' seto screamed in his mind. Tea belonged to him and no one else. Yami should know that. That bastard did know that, but was still trying to take her away from him. He watched, as they started moving to the music. Seto's hands balled into fists. He was angry at yami, but also at tea for her childishness. She fell for anything. Yami bought a small restaurant for her and she was all over him. And she talked about love and commitment. One cheap gift had made her forget all about him.

Tea smiled at yami and said something. Seto saw yami smirk and move his hands lower. Seto couldn't take it anymore. Yami and him always competed and yami always managed to take away seto's most prized possessions. Seemed like this time would be no different either. He would take tea away, just like he took away his title as the number duelist. Seto glanced at tea's happy face and sighed. Yami had already taken her far away from him.

"I have to say, you are very charming tonight." Tea said smiling at yami.

"All for your smile tea." he whispered as he twirled her. She giggled.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Nothing. It's just I heard a lot of stuff about you, but I never even imagined you'll be so…"

"Romantic." He finished. She laughed.

"I was gonna say 'different'. But I guess that can work too."

"I show this side only to special people. And you are special."

"Yami, stop it." Tea said blushing. "I'm not special."

"You are to me," he whispered slowly. The song ended but they stood in the same position. Teas stared into his purple eyes and found warmth, affection, care and love, something she wished to se in seto's eyes. Unconsciously, she stepped back. Yami reluctantly removed his hands from her waist.

"Thanks for the dance yami." Tea said and stepped away from the stage. He stood there for a while, but then followed her.


"Where did I put them?" a worried yami looked around the room to find the object of his desire.

"Looking for this?" marik help something up in his hands.

"Give them back." yami said sternly and marik laughed.

"Tickets to the ballet. I didn't know you liked ballet." Bakura said.

"I don't. Tea does." Yami said. A smile appeared on his face when he thought of her.

"Oh really?" malik said smirking.

"Yeah. Now give them back. I don't wanna be late." Yami said snatching the tickets from their hands.

"So, I take that it's going good between you and tea." duke said.

"Yeah. It's going great." Yami said, grabbing wallet.

"So, when are you planning to screw her?" marik said and yami stiffened.

"Yeah. We want a piece of her too." Malik said. Yami sharply turned around to glare at them with fire in his eyes.

"Don't talk about her like she's some piece of meat." He growled.

"Why? That's how we talk about every girl." Bakura causally said.

"She's not like every girl." Yami said.

"To me she looks like one." malik said.

"Me too. But seems to me, you're backing out of our deal." Bakura said.

"What deal? We never made any deal." Yami said and started walking out of the door.

"Yeah we did. We planned to screw her." marik said.

"The deal is off. I'm not going to let anyone touch her." yami said.

"Why? You want to keep her all for yourself? Not gonna happen." Bakura said.

"Yeah. We planned to share and that's what we'll do." Malik said and yami yelled.

"No. I told you already. N.O. no."

"What the hell is wrong with you man? She's just a girl. What's so special about her, besides that hot body?" bakura asked. Yami glared at them and slowly said.

"I love her."
