Chapter 4 Oh

Alexis woke up feeling very refreshed and felt something very warm. She yawned and snuggled into the warmth and listened to the rhythmic sound of a heartbeat. Wait, heartbeat?

Her eyelids flew open and she realized her position. She was lying next to a sleeping Jaden Kaiba, who had his arms wrapped around her body, while she was snuggled into his chest with her hands on his lean muscles.

As quick as lightning, she shot out of the bed and backed up against the wall while her face turned redder than Slifer the Sky Dragon. Her hasty retreat caused Jaden to stir and wake up before he saw that she was against the wall.

"What's wrong Lex, you look like you have a fever?" Jaden asked, causing Alexis to sweatdrop, even with her current embarrassment, though she noticed that there was an underlying tone of amusement in his voice.

Before Alexis had the chance to answer, they heard the loudspeaker turn on.

"Attention students, we will be arriving at Duel Academy in 10 minutes, please gather your belongings and wait in your seats."

"Thank Ra, saved by the bell." she turned to Jaden. "After we get off, follow me, I need to talk to you about something." He nodded and followed Alexis out of the room.

Ten minutes later, after all the students departed from the boat, Alexis and Jaden stepped off the boat and noticed that there were a few boys standing at the docks waiting for something. Jaden noticed that Alexis had frozen in her tracks and was slowly backing away from him.

It didn't take a genius to figure out what the problem was… fanboys.

Jaden gave Alexis a sympathetic look since he knew what it was like to have people fawning over him. He decided to help her out and grabbed her hand before walking down the ramp towards the docks.

He noticed that Alexis, and the boys, were looking at him with disbelief. He just took it in stride and announced, a little too loudly, "Come on Lex, if we want to get this over with and spend more time together, we need to get there early! I can't bear the thought of not being able to be alone with my beautiful girlfriend!" He gave her a wink.

Seeing what he was doing, Alexis just sighed dreamily before grabbing onto Jaden's arm, "Well of course Jay, if we don't hurry up, we'll miss the party, and all the girls will think you're single!"

The fanboys just watched open-mouthed as Alexis and Jaden walked away from the docks and to the island.

When they were out of sight, both Jaden and Alexis burst out laughing.

"Oh my Ra, did you, haha, did you see their faces?" Alexis asked as she leaned against Jaden to keep herself from falling.

"Yeah, it was priceless!" Jaden replied.

After they calmed down, Alexis looked oddly at Jaden.

"So why did you do that?" She asked as it wasn't everyday someone helped her to get away from fanboys.

Jaden smiled at her, something that made her heart skip a beat. "Well, I know what it's like to have people obsess over you, it's horrible, so I decided to help you out." He got a grateful look from her, and he smiled, "If you ever need any help with a problem, no matter how big or small, I'll help you." The heir to Kaiba Corp stated.

"Why are you so willing to help me?" Alexis asked him.

Jaden shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, it's like this sixth sense I have that lets me know whether I can trust people or not."

"And what does it say about me?" Alexis asked, tilting her head.

"That I can trust you of course!" He exclaimed, making her blush, "You also remind me of someone who I met a few years ago."

Alexis gave him a look. "Really? Who?"

"This guy I met at one of my family's parties, Atticus." Jaden said, but saw that Alexis froze. "What's wrong? Do you know him?"

Alexis nodded solemnly, "Y-Yes… He's my brother."
