Chapter Six
Normal POV
"Serenity, where were you!" asked Joey as soon as Serenity walked in.
"Um…I was waiting in a-uh store until I was able to leave since the storm was so bad" she lied.
"Ok but what happened to your leg?" he asked pointing to her bandage.
"Oh I-I just fell when was in the storm that's all no big" she said trying to get off the subject.
"Ok then why are you wearing an oversized black hoodie?"
'Hoodie? OH MY GOD! I'M STILL WEARING KAIBA'S HODDIE? Ok Serenity think…think…got it' she thought.
"The store clerk-um…gave me it and he only had big s-sizes left and have something so I wouldn't catch a cold"
'Man, I'm good' thought Serenity.
"Ren, are you sure-"
"Joey, I'm-uh a little tired from being up all day so I'm going upstairs and just get some rest" she said going upstairs trying to avoid anymore questions.
"Ok…I think"
"Hey Joey what's wrong?" asked Mai walking over to Joey.
"I think Serenity's acting weird maybe I should-"
"Joey, she just got in, give her time to rest she's probably exhausted" she said holding her shoulders.
"But I-"
"No Joey, if it makes you better I'll talk to her tomorrow but tonight let her rest"
"Alright, how is it that I always let you win?"
"Because you love me" she said wrapping her arms around his neck.
He smiled and kissed her on the lips and went upstairs to their room.
Serenity's POV
I can't believe what just happened…
I got up to my room and closed the door. I lay on my bed just staring at the ceiling. Tonight was one crazy but I'll definitely remember it. I can't believe I just open up to him like that, telling him about my mom and how I was alone but…it felt good, finding another person to open up to. I mean I told Yami a lot of private things but he was well…different. What I can't believe the most is that he helped me. Everyone always says he's heartless and cold but that kind of person wouldn't have helped me. He looked really good with his shirt off too – wait no! I mean yes, I mean…God I don't know what I think anymore around him but why was I blushing and nervous, it's not like I have intimate feelings for him.
I took off his hoodie which had a faint scent of him on it. I didn't even notice I was still wearing it. It makes me feel so warm…Then when he held me in his arms. There were so many emotions going through my mind. Embarrassment because well I'm nineteen years old and I'm scared of thunder but it reminds me of how alone I was back then and other memories that I don't feel like thinking about right now. They're too painful but I also felt comfort almost like…he was protecting me. He couldn't be as bad as bad as everyone put him out to be.
'Don't worry…I'm with you'
His words kept repeating over and over again in my mind. He said the same words I heard someone say in my dream. Could…he be the one that was calling me?
Seto's POV
"Seto where were you? I couldn't reach you or anything" said Mokuba as Seto entered the mansion.
"I just stayed in our town house until the limo came, traffic was bad so it took longer then expected.
"Um Seto are you ok?" he asked.
"…I'm fine why are you asking?"
"You just seem…well a little different"
"It's nothing…I'm going to my room to get some sleep"
"Oh ok night bro" he said running up the stairs in front of me to his room.
I walked slowly up the stairs and down the long hallway to my room and laid in my king sized bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about tonight's events. I felt so compelled to protect her and make all her fears go away. I've never felt that strongly for anyone in my life, maybe not even Kisara. What is it about her? When I'm around her I can become an open book and confess all my sins. Something about her…
'…anything is better than those years I felt'
I can imagine how she feels. For me, it's comfort but at least I had Mokuba…she had no one. It used to hurt like that for me but she's a wheeler yet she's not like the mutt and it's clear who got the looks in that family. Maybe I can really find a friend in this girl. She's not other girls who are superficial and I can actual conversations with her and I feel comfortable with her…I even enjoy being with her. Who knows…maybe I can develop a friendship with this girl.
And maybe get my heart back…
Normal POV
"I wonder what I'm going to do today?" she asked herself. Serenity was in her room after just taking a shower, cleaning up her room. The sun beamed in her room through the window. It was a beautiful day to enjoy yourself or perhaps…spend the day what someone with the one you care about.
Joey, Mai, and Tristan were downstairs ready to meet Yami and Tea at the Game Shop. Before she could go downstairs, she heard her cell phone ring. She went over to her bed where it was lying and picked it to see who was calling – it was Kaiba.
'Wow…it's him' she thought.
She felt a sudden case of nervous run over her as she took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"H-Hello"
"Serenity?"
"Oh hi Kaiba"
"Hey I was just wondering were you doing anything today?" he asked.
"Um nothing why?"
"Well since you're better today, I was wondering would you like to meet me at the park café in Domino Square"
"Oh uh…yes, I would love to go" she said trying her best to hide the excitement in her voice. 'I can't believe this happening!' she was thinking.
"Ok then meet me there by one o' clock" said Kaiba.
"Sure"
After that, he hung up. She could barely believe what had just happened and most of all – she would get to see him again but what was she going to tell Joey? She couldn't just tell him, he would freak. After a few minutes of pondering, she had her excuse and decided to change her outfit.
Once that was done, she traveled down the stairs where Joey, Mai and Tristan. She was a white tank with a small sliver floral design with blue jeans that showed off her perfect figure and perfect feature on her body. Her hair hung beautifully on her with a small sliver rhinestone clip in it. She looked beautiful…even if she didn't know it.
"Wow…you look beautiful Serenity" said Tristan staring at her.
"Thanks"
"Where are you going hun?" asked Mai,
"Just to a friend's house, she just needs my help with some things" she said making her way to the door.
"Well we'll be at the Game Shop if you need anything just give us a call Ren" said Joey.
"I will bye you guys, bye Joey" she said and walked out the door. She gave a sigh of relief once she made it out the house. Now it was on ward to the park café…
-
Finally I'm here…
Once she had arrived at the beautiful café, she went up to the booth for seating.
"Excuse me um I'm here for a seating for two"
"Is your name by any chance, Serenity Wheeler?" he asked.
"Yes"
"Oh Mr. Kaiba has been expecting you, we'll escort you to him" he said and lead her to the private area that looked very exclusive in a private garden, gazed with cherry blossom trees everywhere along other exotic flowers and a beautiful water fountain in the middle. Once she had spotted him, she walked over to him.
"So you finally made it" he said as she walked over. 'Wow…she looks beautiful' he thought.
"Sorry I'm late I had a little trouble getting over here" she said sitting across from him.
"May I get you two anything?" asked the waiter.
"Well I guess I'll take a small cappuccino" she said politely.
"Same for me" he said and the waiter left, leaving the two of them alone.
"Thank you for inviting today, this place is beautiful"
"No problem, I just thought it would be nice to talk to you in dry clothes…and my shirt on" he said with a smirk.
"I was…really happy when I got your call" she said with a light shade of red on her cheeks. 'Man! This is nerve wrecking!' she thought. The waiter came with their cappuccinos that came with a short awkward silence between them. They both took a sip of their drinks and Serenity decided to break the silence.
"So…do you come here often? she asked.
"Not much, this is the first time I've come here with someone" he said.
"Oh I see"
"I really…enjoy your company…Serenity" he said with his famous smirk.
"T-Thank you" she said blushing.
After that, their conversation became more and more interesting. They talked about everything. All their interests, letting each other in to their worlds that were more alike then you could have guessed. As they got to know one another they felt their feelings grow little by little, right now, this feeling is still very unknown to them both but soon it would blossom into so much more and very soon they won't be able to hide their feelings any longer.
"So what do you like to do in your spare time?" she asked.
"Well I barely have any so I'm usually by myself"
"So you've never had a full day to yourself to have fun?"
"Well I'm not a person who has a lot of fun, I have a company to run after all" he said.
"But even you need a break sometimes"
"I guess I actually need to go, I have to get back to work" he said getting up as they both walked out the café, paying for their drinks.
"I guess this is goodbye then" she said almost as if she was sad this had to come to an end.
"Yeah…I had a nice time with you"
"Thank you again Kaiba"
"…You can call me Seto" he said as they said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. As Serenity was walking, a sudden thought came to her…
…I think I know how to repay him…I'll give him a day he'll never forget…
Preview: Ok so we see Serenity has got her idea on how she plans to repay Kaiba I mean Seto for what he done for her. So will it truly be a day he'll never forget and how will he feel about a certain present she'll give? Until the next chapter. Please Review!
