Chapter 22- Forgiven
-Friday Night-
-Serenity-
(I want to see him.)
Do you… really?
(Yes.)
Why? He broke your heart.
(It was my fault.)
No, it isn't.
(But I fell in love without even knowing the truth… but I have seen his other side.)
So, what? He turned and backstabbed you. Mostly used you to win the bet.
(I don't care anymore about the bet.)
Yes you do.
(Leave me alone.)
Forget about him.
(I can't.)
Yes, you can.
(I won't. You can't make me. I still love him no matter how much it hurts!)
I blinked and came back to the real world. I was dancing a slow song with Duke at the prom. I just finished arguing with my mind and heart just now. How can I forget about him if I still love him? Duke kept his eyes on me as my mind drifted into space once more. I didn't want to come to prom, but I knew Duke wouldn't leave my house until after prom was over.
"You look hot tonight," he whispered, twirling me around.
I was wearing a light pink dress, with small spaghetti straps. At my waist, on the left side, were different colors blue and green small butterflies. And at the back, was a small-tied wrap. I had small light pink heals, that had two criss-cross straps over my toes, and strap to hold my ankle. I had silver earrings on and attach to them were dangles. I wore pink lipstick. My hair was half way up, the back of it had just a bunch of wisps put together, while the other part of it was straight down. I didn't wear a necklace and bracelet since I wanted something simple.
After what Duke said, I rolled my eyes and saw Seto getting slapped from Tea. My eyes widened and I gasped a little. I remembered when I slapped him, but he did deserve it. But then again, I have doubts. My heart ached for him and all of a sudden a desire of sympathy rushed to me. Then Tea walked away with her hands on her hips, looking pissed. Seto just stood there and slowly looked up at me.
BANG!
I felt my chest express a feeling greater than any other as our eyes locked. I quickly looked away and felt my face flush a little. I peeked up and saw Seto nowhere to be found. I felt sad all of a sudden.
"Something wrong Ren?" Duke asked me as I looked up at him.
"No. And don't you dare call me Ren again," I said seriously to him as he shrugged and let go.
"Whatever. Anyways… I'm going to go to the John's," he said, leaving me on the dance floor.
I got out of the way and started to look for Seto.
-Seto-
I just arrived here and quickly saw Serenity. She looked so beautiful in the pink dress and I saw her dancing with some guy… who was… DUKE!
No, it couldn't be! She wouldn't!
I felt butterflies in my stomach and didn't realize someone standing in front of me.
"I told you to pick me up at seven, yesterday. You are sssooooo rude, SETO KAIBA! I was sitting in the chair patiently waiting for you, and you just got here! Look at the time! Its fuckin' 8:30 and you made me wait an hour and a half! GEEZ," she yelled and suddenly slapped me as I felt a fast hand on my right cheek.
I didn't care. I came here only to see if Serenity was here and safe… but from the looks of it, she's in trouble. I looked down at the floor and felt some people staring at me, especially a pair of familiar eyes. I looked up and met Serenity's dark jade eyes glance with my cobalt ones. She looked away quickly and I felt heartbroken. I walked away to far away where there was just darkness waiting to engulf me… and my heart.
-Normal P.O.V.-
Duke went into the men's restroom and took a glass bottle of whiskey from the inside of his tuxedo jacket. He opened the bottle and immediately took a swig. Tristan came in and saw Duke take another chug.
Duke smirked and said, "I'm gonna get laaaaaaaid toooonight, with, with, the hottest babe in the school."
Tristan chuckled a little and Duke saw this.
"Wuz- Wuz… Wuz ssssso fun- fun-knee?" Duke asked already drunk.
"Serenity isn't going to give it to ya," Tristan said and noticed the drunken stupor of a person.
"Yessssh she is. I'm goin'… gonna… I rented a hotel womb at thee Domino Ho-Hotel jus' for us. She's a to-to hot babe. H-A-W-T! HOTT!" Duke exclaimed and smirked at him.
This time Tristan started laughing and slapped his right knee.
"You're drunk man," Tristan said hysterically as Duke raised a right eyebrow.
Tristan walked out and Duke just kept on drinking, not caring on what Tristan said just now.
"Mutherfudger," Duke said seriously. He then closed the bottle, placed it back in this jacket and walked wobbly to the door.
-Serenity-
"And now it's time to announce the royalties," the principal said into the black microphone, and the music was turned down a bit.
Everyone was clapping except me. I noticed Duke coming out of the restroom and walking funny. I turned away and looked at the administrators on the stage.
"The person voted for Prom King goes to…" the principal said excitedly, as he opened the vanilla color envelope. He took out the piece paper and unfolded.
"SETO KAIBA!" he said happily as everyone clapped their hands as I looked down and saw Duke wobbly walking towards me.
"Let's go, I want to go home," I said as I grabbed his sleeve and pulled towards the door.
I didn't care for the whole deal on who was voted. It was basically voted on who were popular and hottest people who won. As for me, I just wanted to home and stay there.
-Seto-
The vice president put the crown on me, but I had to bend my knees that way she could reach. She put it on and everyone was whistling, cheering and clapping. I was handed the microphone and noticed I couldn't find my beautiful swan anywhere.
"Thanks," was all I could really say and I handed the microphone back to the principal.
"And now voted for Prom Queen goes to…," the principal said and continued, "OH MY GOSH FOLKS. THIS WAS A CLOSE TIE, BUT WON BY ONE VOTE… TEA GARDNER!" he said happily and Tea rushed on stage and started jumping up and down, screaming her head off.
She snatched the tiara away from the vice principal's hands and took the microphone away from the principal. She began saying her speech.
"First, I want to thank my bestest friends for supporting me and being there for me. Secondly, to those who voted for m-wah. Third, I had a good feeling that I was going to win, because c'mon… I am the most gorgeous girl in school," she said happily as many people whistled at her when she bent down just to show off her cleavage.
I rolled my eyes in disgust and thought of Serenity.
"Now, for the other jerks who didn't vote for me, well, who do you think you are? You people make me-" Tea announced until the person in charge of the sound unplug the speakers.
Tea kept on rambling angry with the students who didn't vote for her and I just stepped down, taking my crown off. I didn't deserve this. I actually didn't give a shit about the whole idea of voting. I reached the floor and felt a tap on the back of my shoulder. I turned around and saw Tristan.
"Kaiba, Duke is taking Serenity to the Domino Hotel," Tristan said quickly as I nodded once to him and went on my way to the hotel.
-Serenity-
"Duke, this isn't the way house," I said to him getting really worried and scared at the same time.
I noticed that he was acting really weird and his was driving horribly. That's when it all clicked together. DUKE IS DRUNK!
"Ahhh… Don't worry 'bout it. I'm takin' youssssh' to a sssa-prize plate," he said as swirled to the right.
I saw a glass bottle fell out of his jacket and broke on the floor. The aura smelled of alcohol. I covered my nose.
"TAKE ME HOME!" I cried out as he turned on the left.
Then I grabbed a hold of his hand and dug my nails really hard.
"OWWWW!" he yelled and hit the brakes.
He caressed his hand with the other and I quickly got out, slamming the door with brutal force and walked nearest phone booth. I saw Duke come out of the truck and vomit. He coughed a bit, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and threw up again. I called a taxi and luckily there was one not too far away. I hung up and waited.
As soon as I got home, I took my shoes off by the entrance and closed the door as soon as I walked in. My feet were exhausted. I looked up and saw my father standing about five feet away from me.
"I'm going to bed. I want to get a goodnight's sleep for tomorrow," he said happily to me.
I nodded my head up and down.
"I'm glad you came home safely. Goodnight dear," he said to me with a groggily smile on his face.
"Goodnight dad," I replied quietly as he waved to me and headed straight upstairs to his room.
I walked to the living room and saw someone in a tux, standing with his back facing towards me. I looked at the color of the hair and gave a small smile.
"Seto," I whispered gently to him.
He turned around and looked at me. I gazed into his royal blue eyes and saw an apologetic expression upon his face. I took a small deep breath and started to wonder how he could express those words to me with just his sapphire eyes.
"I came to apologize for what I did to you earlier today. I am so sorry I kept it a secret and I'm truly sorry that I hurt you. I didn't mean to hurt you because I have fallen in love with you. I have fallen, deeply in love with you. You cared for me and I accepted it. I accepted your love and ONLY love to me. I don't care if you punch me or… shoot me with your bow and arrow," he said to me kindly as I lightly chuckled.
"I'm not really good at doing this stuff, but I just want to apologize again for everything I have done. I… I am now… going to leave," he said as I walked towards him and blocked his way.
"Seto, why are you here?" I asked nicely to him with a small smile on my face.
"I came by to see if you are safe and sound. I went to the Domino Hotel and asked if Dice Boy had arrived yet and attendant told me that it was none of my business until I told him that I could easily bankrupt the hotel. Well he realized who he was speaking too and he told me that Duke hasn't checked in. So, I came here and now that I know you okay and not hurt, I should be go-," he was about to finish, but I cut him off by pressing my lips on his.
I saw Seto blink, looking down at me. So, he really does care for me. I looked at him once more and closed my eyes, kissing him deeply.
-Seto-
Her soft lips were on mine. I just never realized how much I cared for my beautiful and loving duckling. I felt her arms wrap around my neck, but felt sad. She broke the kiss and smiled at me. I looked down and felt awful.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kiss you after what I said to you," I apologize and knowing that it was my fault.
I looked at her and her expression was full of confusion.
"Seto, I forgive you," she said softly to me as I looked deep into her emerald eyes.
I nodded once and felt her eyes on m. I replied this time and smiled. I gave her kisses on her cheeks, forehead, and the tip of her nose, eyes, and just everywhere. Her body swayed and I put my hands on her hips. I, too, began to sway slowly with her and held her protectively.
"Serenity, my love, my life…" I whispered to her. "Will you love me forever?"
With a smile, she replied, "Of course, Seto…of course…"
And with that I pulled her close to me and we shared another passionate kiss.
I can't believe. This is the last chapter. I just need to write the epilogue and this story is done. As for Satanic Embrace, I want to fix some things, but I don't think I should that. I just wanted to correct the errors, but there will be some grammar, of course.
I know this story hadbad grammar in it. Maybe I should stop writing? I had some S x Sideas.My new one was going to be whereSeto makes fun of Serenity because of her dorky glasses, but what Seto doesn't realize is that she has a secret behind those frames. Of course, when Seto makes fun of her, he falls in love (typical),however, he begins to worry, when she stops coming to school.
If it sounds cheesy, then I won't do it. And of course, the vampire story I want to do. I'm still going todo it, but first I want to get these other S x S typed down first.
