The Wedding Planner
Chapter 7
Flowers Blooming
xX Joey's POV Xx
I woke up to a loud crash, which I would guess was Yami. I got up and placed on one of my tanktops and a random pair of jeans and headed down stairs. My hair a mess and sleep still in my eyes, I yelled at Yami.
"What the hell did you break this time, you stupid starfish!"
"I resent that!"
"Resent THIS!" I threw a throw pillow at him. His eye twitched but I ignored it as I saw a glass on the floor by his feet. "That's going in your payment." Yami rolled his eyes and sighed. "You have a visitor."
My eyes went wide and turned to the kitchen and met up with cold blue eyes. He smirked and gave me a small wave. I turned to glare at the snickering Yami and walked up stairs.
When I came back down, wearing a white dress shirt and jeans, Kaiba was still there in the kitchen drinking some coffee. He was wearing black leather pants and a sleevless turtle necked shirt. "You ready to go?" he asked. I grabbed my keys and headed out to my car.
"Don't break, burn, destory anything Yami!" Yami rolled his eyes and me and Kaiba walked out.
Once we got to the flower shop, we talked about which flowers to get. He decided any kind of green and blue flowers mixed together should be good. He wasn't really picky about flowers now was he?
"How about carnations?"
Kaiba thought for a moment before looking back at me and nodding. When I turned to grab some, I saw someone who I would least expect to see.
xX Author's POV Xx
Joey squeaked and ducked down under a table. Seto raised an eyebrowe, "What was that?"
"SHH!"
"...You don't shush me."
"Shut the hell up! Whisper at least. They probably already saw me!"
"Who pup?" Before Kaiba could finish his statement, he noticed that Joey had crawled away below the tables. Kaiba followed, walking instead of crawling though.
Joey was thinking he was finally out of sight of "them", he looked up from under the table he was at now.
"J-Joey?"
'Damn.'
Joey got up and grinned idiotically, while Seto strolled next to him. Joey scratched the back of his neck. "Hiya, Marik. Malik." Seto raised an eyebrow at the tone of Joey's voice.
The two tanned blondes stood there, Marik a little uncomfortable and Malik placing an arm around Marik. "Long time no see, huh Joey?" Marik asked. Joey nodded and looked away. Seto didn't want to be nosey but...
"What's wrong Wheeler?" Joey looked up at Seto then looked at the ground, clenching his fists. Kaiba placed a hand on Joey's shoulder, that seemed to calm him down. "What's the story here?"
"Well, um I was Jo-"
"Marik was my fiancee." Joey glared at Marik and Malik then turned to Seto, a broken smile on his face. "Malik was one of my best friends, and was the best man at the wedding. On the night of our rehershal, I found them making out...in MY car," He turned to Marik, "That's the whole story right? Or did I miss soemthing?"
Marik looked down at the ground while Malik growled. Joey bit the inside of his cheek then yanked at Seto's sleeve. "Let's go, I'll get the damn flowers later!" Kaiba managed to get his sleeve released and followed Joey to where he was going at 90 miles per hour.
"Two please."
"Actually I'll just have an orange soda." Kaiba said. Joey had lead them to a bar. Seto didn't like the place but knowing Joey was a regular here, he hated it more.
When they went out of the bar, both teens forgot where they parked the car and Joey was beyond tipsy. He was so drunk, Seto had to pratically carry him to his apartment. Seto had tried to let Joey walk by himself, but Joey just walked to the middle of the street staggering here and there.
Once they got to the aparment, Joey giggled and knocked on the apartment door made of glass. But since no one answered, he pressed the buzzer to a random person so that they could open the door.
"Hello?" A women's voice answered. Joey looked at the name next to the button, "Anika?"
"Yes, who is this?" the women, Anika, answered. Seto looked for a way to enter while watching over Joey. Joey softly placed his head against the wall.
"My name is Joey, your neighbor. You don't know me...because I'm a tight ass and a work-aholic. I'm mean to almost everyone because I've had my heartbroken, and I don't talk to anyone except the few friends I have..." Joey started to stir around and mumble the rest. At that moment the door opened with someone going outside.
"Please hold that door sir! Come on Joey, look. The door is open." Seto held Joey's waist, leading him in. Joey took out his keys and tried to put it in the lock, but was to drunk to get it in. Seto placed in the key and opened the door, leading Joey to the nearest place to rest- the couch.
Laying him gently and placing Joey's head on a throw pillow, Seto kneeled on the floor next to the couch and placed a hand on Joey's hair, combing it out. "You want soup?" Seto asked. Joey gave a small nod, placing a hand over his forehead, feeling a headache and hangover coming on.
After a few moments, Seto came back to the living room with a bowl of soup and a cup of coffee for himself. They spent their eatting time in silence, always glancing up to each other. After Joey finished, he laid back down, breathing slowly to calm his depression.
"That little meeting with your ex fiancee didn't help much, did it?" Joey shook his head no. Then Joey smiled at him. "I must look so pathetic to you. A wedding planner who can't even keep a true lover by his side." Seto winced. He felt bad for the guy, who wouldn't?
Seto, again, knelt down next to the couch, a little closer to Joey's face. He started to comb out the blond silky set of hair. Seto let his hand travel gently down to Joey's cheek, caressing it softly and cupping it into his hands. All the while Joey was staring at the handsome blue-eyed brunet. Suddenly Seto spoke.
"Do you ever think about that day in the park?"
"Huh?"
"Do you ever think about...how we met? That maybe it was either coincedense or fate. To tell you the truth I've never believed in faith and fate and destiny in the first place."
"Kaiba, you're scaring me. What are yo-"
"You know what's really confusing me? That I don't know anything about you. But I do know how your smile alone can make me happy. How your hair is always wild, yet tamed. I know how deep I can see your emotion in thoes honey colored eyes, the sparkle in them. I know how your laugh effects me. I know that your face keeps intruding my dreams while I sleep, if I can sleep. I know exactly how I feel about you."
Joey was stunned into silence. What was Kaiba saying? When and, more importantly, why had Seto turned into "romantic zorro" instead of the rich, prick snob everyone knew him to be? And what can he say to this? 'GOD! WHY SO MANY QUESTIONS?'
"Joey? Can you please answer me?" Seto looked up as Joey sat up on the couch. He glared down at Seto, a mixture of anger, confusion and sadness seen in his eyes.
"What do you want me to say to that, Kaiba? Did you really think I w-would execpt this?" Seto looked a bit heartbroken, but being the cool CEO he is- he kept his cool. Joey kept on.
"Kaiba," voice calm and collected, with no trace of anger in it. More like sadness. "Kaiba, it's simple. Duke is a very good friend, and I respect her. And she loves you. You shouldn't be doing this. Think about her, how she would feel." Joey stood up, grabbing Kaiba's arm and walking toward the door. He pushed Kaiba gently out the door and looked up at him, fighting back tears that would fall down his cheeks eventually.
"Please. Kaiba. Please, all I need to know is your tux measurements. Besides that," Joey choked back a sob, "Besides that- please. Go away."
Joey closed his door. He turned his back on it and leaned against it and fell, bending his knees up to his chest, hugging them. He buried his tear stained face in his knees, while a knocking and banging sound came from the door.
"Joey!"
'I don't want to be like them. Go away!'
"Joey..." he heard his name in a soft gentle voice. Almost heartbreaking.
Joey looked up at where he and Kaiba were just a moment ago, his cheeks being cupped by Kaiba's hands. Joey smiled and laughed lightly as he started to cry heavily. Soon he fell asleep leaned against the door, with nothing but a mental picture of the man he's in love with but he chose to push away.
