Chapter 4

It was early morning. All the lights were off in the house except one. The light in Kaiba's office was still on. He was sitting at his laptop typing away on the things he already had done. 'How am I going to ask her?' He asked himself mentally. 'Even though we've known each other for over 3 years, I still seem nervous around her. What am I going'- just then he was interrupted by a soft knock on his office door. "Come in." He said as he watched the door knob turn slowly and he watched Kaze walk into his office. She was in a tank top and pajama pants. She was holding a mug of coffee and an envelope in her other hand. She walked towards his desk with a smile on her face. She stopped when she got to the front of his desk. "What are you doing up this early Kaze?" He asked her kind of shakily.

"I didn't go to sleep. I was working on paper work and got up to get some coffee and saw your office light on. Here." She handed him the mug of coffee.

"Thank you." He said as he reached for the mug. When he got it, their hands touched and his face turned cherry red. He pulled his hand back so fast that it caused him to drop it. There was a shatter of glass on the floor. "Oh shit, I'm sorry." He said kneeling down to the floor to pick up the shattered pieces.

"Don't worry about it, happens all the time." She said while kneeling down to help pick up. As they were picking up pieces they kept getting closer and closer to each other. Finally after they had picked up all the pieces they lifted their heads to see that they were about an inch apart. Kaze could feel Kaiba's breath on her cheek till finally he broke the distance. He kissed her in the most passionate kiss Kaze could ever imagine. She put her arms around his neck and he slid her into his lap. They broke the kiss both gasping for breath. All the either two of them could do was smile. Kaze's smile widened and hugged him by the neck. Kaiba laughed and hugged her back. Finally Kaze broke the hug and stood up pulling Kaiba with her. "Wow," She said while putting her arms back around his neck.

"Yeah." He said while kissing her again.

5 hours later.

It was around 8:00 when Tea woke up. She sat up in her bed and stretched. She looked over at Mai who was still out. She smiled and got out of bed and went out the door to the kitchen. When she got to the kitchen she saw Kaze sitting in Kaiba's lap reading the newspaper. She also saw Joey, Yami, and Tristan eating bowls of cereal. They looked up at her and smiled. She smiled back and made her way over to the bowls and boxes of cereal. She poured some Frosted Flakes and milk in a bowl and took her bowl and sat down next to Tristan.

"So, where's Mai? Still asleep?" Joey asked while taking another bite.

"Yeah, she's still out. When I finish I'll go wake her up. Um, Kaze do you know what time we're leaving?" Tea asked while turning around in her chair to face Kaze. She looked up from the paper and smiled.

"Um, around 9. It takes about an hour to get to the store. So I guess I should go take a shower. See you in awhile." She said while kissing Seto and hopping up from his lap and skipped out the door. Tea laughed and turned to face Seto.

"So, did you two hook up last night?" Tea asked while smiling at him. Seto looked up and blushed.

"Yeah, I've wanted to ask her for so long. And we made it official last night." Seto said while getting up from the chair and walked out of the kitchen. The four of them looked to the door way where he had just exited and smile.

"Oh, well I guess I should go get ready. See you guys later." Tea said while standing up from the bar and went out of the kitchen. The guys all looked at each other and shook their head.

"Women" they all said together.

Tea went back up stairs and to their room to wake up Mai. When she got in their Mai's bed was empty and she could hear water running coming from the bathroom. "Well that at least saves me the time of waking her up." Tea said as she went to her closet to find some clothes to wear. 'This might look good' she said to herself. She pulled out a pair of faded boot cut jeans, a "Rolling Stones" black tank top, and to top the outfit off, her high top black converse. After she finished dressing she headed to the study to see what it looked like. It was a big room with bookshelves on every wall, also with a fireplace on one wall, and two couches and three big comfy chairs. She sat in one of the chairs and smiled. "Now this is my kind of room." She said while spotting a door that headed out to the hallway. Just then she heard footsteps behind her and she turned around and saw Mai standing in the doorway in the most 'Mai' outfit she had ever seen. She was wearing dark flare jeans, a pink halter with silver sequins on it. It rose just above her navel showing her pierced bellybutton, and pink stilettos. "Cute, very cute." Was all she could say.

"Thanks." Mai said looking down at her outfit. Tea laughed and stood up from her chair and walked over to Mai.

"So, has Joey asked you to the banquet yet?" Tea said grinning to her best friend. Mai looked confused then finally her eyes brightened.

"Do you really think he's going to ask me?" Mai asked looking hopeful. All Tea could do was shake her head in a yes response. Mai kind of made a little squealing sound and hugged her best friend in a bear hug. Tea gasped for breath and Mai pulled away. They both laughed and headed out the door.

When they reached the elevator and the door opened they saw Kaze inside with a very cute outfit on. She was wearing a faded blue jean mini-skirt that was pleaded, a light pink tank top, and white flip-flops. She smiled as the two other girls got in the elevator. "So are two ready for some fun?" Kaze asked with a mischievous look on her face. Tea and Mai looked at each other with devious looks then smiled and then looked back at Kaze. All they could was smile. When the elevator hit the 1st floor and the door opened you could already here the music playing:

Christina Aguilera- Can't Hold Us Down: Feat. Lil Kim (a/n I LOVE this song. Download it if you don't have it.)

The girls laughed as they reached the door pulling Serenity with them. They pushed the front doors opened and you could still hear the music playing. The 4 girls got into Tea's car and started the car and sang out loud while pulling out of the drive way. They sped along the highway with Tea's top down and yelling and screaming all the way. Still singing along. They all laughed as more songs played as they sped along the highway. As the four girls neared the city they slowed down and got back down to earth. Well they kind of got down to earth. They pulled into the city and looked around. There were shops every where and tons of restaurants. They drove around until they spotted a formal dress store. They pulled into a small parking lot. They got out of the car and linked arms. They walked across the street and into the store. They unlinked arms and walked around the store. They found tons of dresses they liked. They each tired on about twenty until they came to one rack that just blew them away. It had so many dresses they loved they couldn't pick which one they liked the most. They each picked one and went into the dressing rooms. When they each came out, they blew each other away. All they could do was stare at each other. They knew these were the dresses they were going to get. The four girls bought their dresses and left. They went to some other stores for their shoes and jewelry and then went to a small café and ate lunch. The four girls sat for about 2 hours just eating and talking. They enjoyed every moment of it. Soon they realized they had been gone for 5 hours! They all went to where they had parked and got in. They drove back to Summer's mansion and took all of their purchases inside. They knew that the dinner banquet wasn't until next week but they still laid out their dresses and shoes and accessories like it was tomorrow. Tea and Mai went down stairs to explore the rest of the house. They found over 20 bathrooms, 25 bedrooms, 3 living areas, 2 indoor pools, and over 1,000 windows! On the 4th story they saw a room at the very end of the hall with a sign on it saying: Angel's room. So they left it alone.
