GOODBYE MY LOVER...
Its like you're a drug
Its like you're a demon I cant face down
Its like im stuck,its like im running from you all the time
And I know I let you have all the power, its like the only company I seek Is misery all around
its like youre a leech, sucking the life from me, its like i cant breath, without you inside of me
And I know I let you have all the power, and i know im never gonna quit you over time...
Mai and Joey's apartment
"Kaiba" Joey bellows at the top of his lungs.
"That's why I didnt want to tell you" Mai retorts. "I knew you would react like this".
"Well can you really blame me?" Joey snaps back. "That ass is a no good selfish..."
"STOP IT" Mai screams, interrupting Joeys Kaiba bashing.
"Im in love with him" She blurts out, looking flustered.
"Yeah well he aint in love with you Mai" "He only wants you for your body", Joey yells back in hurt.
Mai wipes her eyes, making sure that no tear drops were visible.
"We love each other" She says quietly, twirling her hair uneasily.
Joeys eyes widen and his jaw drops.
"It was kaiba all along". he growls in realization.
"What?" Mai asks, confused.
"He was the reason Valon left" "He found out about you two" Joey loudly remarks, pointing his finger at her.
"Actually Joey" Mai replies, more snarly.
"He left because I had told Kaiba I wanted to move in with him" "Valon found out but didnt know it was kaiba i was seeing" "Kaiba said no then you came along and told me about wanting more than just friendship", Mai panted as she let all of her words out.
"So I was your little fill in while you waited for Mr rich boy to change his mind?"
Mai was lost for words, what could she reply with?
"What I dont understand Mai" "Is why you would go running back after he turned you down that time?" Joey asks with query in his voice.
"The same reason you and Valon stayed with me" "I love him...no matter what" A fair explantation on mai's part but was joey about to agree and see mai off with a smile on his face...
"They say if you love something let it go"
These words kept repeating themselves in Joey's mind. It would take the bigger person to do something like this...
If Jou really did love Mai as he said then he would want her to be happy...maybe thats why Valon left as well?
Joey knew what he had to say next...and it wouldnt be easy!
"Mai Ive put up with enough" "Have a nice life with Kaiba" he manages to say, forcing back tears from his brown eyes.
He then picks up a few of his clothes and heads into the shower.
"So this is it?" Mai murmers, standing by the door.
"Goodbye Mai" Joey wheeler queitly farewells his Mai valentine before heading into the shower.
Mai falls to her knees in her dressing gown.
For the first time in years she breaks down and cries, her tears flow onto her silk gown...
Suddenly her mobile starts to vibrate. Mai picks it up with a slight sense of releif when she sees the number calling.
"Hun I've done it" She says, teary. "It's over between Wheeelr and Me"
"I'll be there in half an hour" Seto says in a softer voice.
"Dont you have work?" Mai asks, wiping her tears.
"Im the boss" Seto replies with a smug tone of voice. "I make my own rules".
Mai hangs up the phone with a small smile on her face. She gathers her things and heads downstairs leaving a note for Joey explaining the amount of money she owes and the date she will pay it by. She signs her name underneath the words "Goodbye"
When she arrived at the bottom of the stairs and onto the street, a cool breeze blew through her hair and tingled her skin. The morning sky was a light blue and the sun was starting to shine.
She walked to coffee cutlure with two suitcases in each hand. She smiles as a black limosuine pulls up minutes later. the driver parks beside the cafe and Seto steps out of the veichle. His hair is swaying in the wind and his clothes are tight. He stands tall and proud ..
The driver takes Mai's suitcases, she then clings onto seto's purple coat. He grabs her waist, his hands are warm against her skin which is bare between her black lacey top and long black pants which flow over her high heels.
"Finally" Seto says, tightenting his grip on miss valentine.
Mai returns the hug with sadness.
"It's joey isnt it?" he questions.
Mai can feel more tears forming.
"I feel so terrible for what I did" "And not just to Joey, Valon also"
Seto cups Mai's face and wipes her tears with his left hand.
"They wanted you to be happy" he whispers into her ear.
Mai gazes at the tall and handsome CEO...
"Yeah and now I am"
Purple pools combine with deep blue ones as the two lovers purse each others lips.
Seto leads Mai into the limosuine.
"Care for a drink?" He gestures, pouring two glasses of chamagne.
"No I think I'll wait" She says...
Seto shurgs, somewhat intriguied by what she is going to say next.
"It will taste much better in bed" she winks, biting on her middle finger.
"Why didnt I say yes to her years ago?" he thinks to himself, embracing Mai tightly and pushing her up against the velvet seat in the Limo.
The viechle starts to steam up..
"Oh yeah thats what I'm talking about", Mai murmers in bed that evening.
Handucuffed to the posts on seto's large bed and wearing a purple blindfold, she arches back and forth at Seto Kaiba's advances.
"Now where Did I put that whipped cream?" He asks himseld aloud so Mai can hear.
"You're going to eat me up now are you Mr Kaiba?" Mai asks.
She laughs as seto sprays aerosol cream on her body...
"Oh yes Mai dear" "You look good enough to eat"
Meanwhile
Joey clings on to the note in HIS apartment. The smell of Mai's perfume still lingers throughout the rooms. He wanted her so badly. Why couldnt he be the one for her? Like Yugi was to Tea or Tristan to Serenity? he would never leave Joey's little sister EVER
"His little petal" He called the sweet little brunette.
"He wouldnt leave her" "he wouldnt dare" Joey grumbled to himself.
He thought of other happy couples and wanted to be like them. Not with just any girl though..with Mai.
The day drags on. Joeys day off work is ruined and spoiled. The one girl who he really loved is gone, out of his life forever..he may have not been the one for her, but she was certainly the one for him..
Did I disappoint you?
Or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty?
Or let the judges frown?
Cuz I saw the end before we'd begun
Yes I saw you were blinded and Iknew I had won
So I took whats mine, by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over but it wont stop there
I am here for you if you'd only care
You touched my heart you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind of that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you
Ive kissed your lips and held your head
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
Ive been addicted to you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
Joey needed to go for a walk to clear his head.
The afternoon sun shone on his back as he walked along the busy city streets with his hands in his pockets.
Tristan, Duke and Serenity had offered to spend the afternoon with Joey after Serenity had called to see how her elder brother and his girlfreind were doing. Obviously Joey told his little sister what had happened between them. As much as wanted to hide it for a few days, probably to maintain any ounce of pride he may have had left.
He sat alone in coffee culture stirring his hot chocolate. He couldnt focus on anything, except how defeated he was feeling.
"Good old Joey" Yugi would say
"Always the dreamer" Tristan would Joke.
"Relaible even though a little short temepered at times" Tea would say, patting her friend on the back.
"Puh good old dependable idiot" Joey sneered to himself.
Because it was Mai,. that made it okay in Joey's eyes, for her to have an affair. He never lost his temper with her and she actually got along with Serenity, his beloved little sister thought Joey and Mai were great together. Joey staying with Mai and knowing she had been cheating on him, was not so great..
So there he sat, slouched in his chair. Cutt off from the rest of the world, wanting to be alone for now.
The usual dreamer wheeler, the reliable puppy dog Joey and all round good laugh, was sad depressed and unsociable.
I am a dreamer but when I wake You cant break my spirit its my dreams you take
And as you move on, remember me, remember us and all we used to be
Ive seen you cry, ive seen you smile, ive watched you sleeping for awhile
I'd be the father of your child, I'd spend alife time with you
I know your fears and you know mine
Weve had our doubts but now we're fine
And I love you I sware thats true
I cannot live without you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
6 months later
Joey lay in his apartment bedroom double bed. He clung onto the young woman by his side.
Vivian had long dark hair and almond eyes. She looked like a porclain doll when she slept. She held onto Joey's torso while she dreamt. This girl was crazy about him. Tristan and Duke had introduced him to Miss Wong about three months ago. Vivian was instanly hooked on him, although Serenity warned him of the fragile situation her elder was in due to Mai three months earlier. Vivian couldnt stand Mai or that Kaiba who she cheated with. For Joey and his friends, the loathe for Kaiba only intensified. Yugi remained neutral and Serenity still liked mai deep down.
The relationship between Joey and Vivian was rather new. Viv would never dream of cheating on her blonde bishie and Joey knew that.
He lay awake in bed contemplating his existence. sure he was happier now, but the though of mai still plagued his memory and often his dreams.
And i still hold your hand in mine
In mine when im asleep
And i will bare my soul in time
When I'm kneeling at your feet
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
Joey tossed and turned before he finally went to sleep. His last thoughts were of Mai and that other man of hers. Of the two of them jetsetting across america, canada, then back to domino and away again...Business confereneces and meetings, charity balls and fancy clothes..this was Mai's life now. A life of luxury Joey knew he would never be able to give Mai Valentine.
He slept with a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach...
"I'm so hollow baby"
"I'm so hollow"
"Im so, I'm so,"Im so hollow"
Meanwhile
Valon sat in the lounge of his surburban flat. The block of flats he was high enough to see the sydney harbour bridge, only barely offcourse.
Amelda had followed Valon to Australia. A friendship between the two had blossomed and Amelda had a rather large crush on brunette boy from sydney. He loved his accent, his quick wit and his body. He coudnt see why Mai left such a great catch!
"She was a fool" he would reassure a distraught Valon when they were first getting together.
Maybe it was a moment of emoitonal weakness but Valon had decided to take Amelda up on his offer of undying affection. He had given up on women, so maybe he would be able to trust a close male companion instead. He knew full well that Amelda would never run off with anyone else like that. He was the possesive one in the relationship which suited Valon fine. He wanted to feel needed.
Cuddling up to Mai and sharing her warm kisses was a distant memory now..
Valon looked at his watch, 530pm. Amelda would be home from work soon. winter in syndey was never too cold however the nights tended to get a little chilly. amelda had valon to warm him up though.
The day was almost over .Valon would soon be greeted by his new lover, but until then he was free, alone in his thoughts, thoughts that consumed him, thoughts of her...
Its like I cant breath
Its like I cant see anything, nothing but you, im addicted to you
Its like I cant speak, without you interrupting me
In my thoughts in my dreams, youre taking over me
Its like im not me, its like im not me
"Just one more kiss" he would moan.
One more hug or embrace to get him through and would be okay
Its like im lost, its like im giving up slowly
Its like you're a ghost that's haunting me leave me alone
And I know these voices in my head are mine alone,
And I know il never change my ways if I don't give you up now...
Im hooked on you I need a fix I cant take it, just one more hit I promise I can deal with it.
Il handle it quit it just one more time than that's it, just a little bit more to get me through this
Amelda returns. Valon is now in the kitchen preparing dinner. The redheaded male happily runs up to Valon and hugs him around the waist.
Valon blocks out all of his 'Mai' thoughts as best he could. With a forced smile he hugs amelda back.
"hey mate" he says happily, or so it seems...
Joey goes about his daily life at work, at home, hanging with his friends on the weekends. Noone mentions seto or mai anymore...beacuse they think it would only cause tension.
What the rest of wheelers pals dont realise is that whenever joey was out dancing in the clubs with tristan and serenity or at home with his girlfriend viv, he is thinking of her...
Her still has the note that mai wrote in his top draw, wrapped in tissue paper. Whenever noone was around, he would take it out and stare at it. The tears are long gone, the bitterness he felt for kaiba is fading but joey's heart will always be Mai Valentines.
Valon tosses and turns in his bed at night too. all he had were images in his mind to remember her by.
He pictured Mai lying next to him in her lingere. He wrestled with thoughts of kaiba coming to take her away. Joey wheeler becoming her new man for awhile also sent shudders down his body. Mai leaving Joey did make Valon smile, but it wasnt enough, he wanted mai to himself...he didnt want to be gay, and he didnt want amelda nor would he ever be able to love him in that way
Amelda was all Valon had so he stayed...
"We all want the same thing" Valon muffled in his dream.
"We want mai to be happy".
"And shes happiest with me" A scowling Seto kaiba would yell in the dream.
Valon started sweating and pulling at the sheets.
Amelda with concern attempted to wake Valon when he had one of his 'nightmares' or so he told amleda that.
Vivian would wake jou when he stirred in the night.
"Having another nightmare sweetie?" She would whisper, claming him down with her touch.
Although Valon and Joey would never leave their new partners they both had a constant fear that one of these nights they would accidentaly call out her name in a dream or "nightmare"
"MAI DONT LEAVE"...
Its like I cant breath
Its like I cant see anything, nothing but you, im addicted to you
Its like I cant speak, without you interrupting me
In my thoughts in my dreams, youre taking over me
Its like im not me, its like im not me
