It was a simple request. The difficult part was letting go of her pride to call an ex. Never had Mai done such a thing before. Yet here she was standing in the large dining room belonging to Maxillion Pegasus. She stood alone, the only lighting was by candle light. A bit romantic, but not her taste. She was found of the interior, just a simple black and white theme. "I'm having a hard time believing you're here." She turned to find Pegasus walking over to her, he stopped a foot away. She couldn't help but to feel an odd tension between them.
"Surprising to me as well." she gave a slight smile.
"I'm glad you called. I've wanted to hear the truth for some reasons I've heard."
Mai sighed, one thing she was used to is rumors. "Must we talk about those? They're just silly words women like your wife say when things don't go their way." She looked at the man's face, it was a topic he wasn't ready to let go so easily. "Besides," she cupped a hand around his chin, tugging his face closer to hers. "It's cheap talk. Do you really want to waste what could be our last few moments on such things?" his hands wrapped around her pulling her closer. "If you must ask questions, why not ask me things you really want to know." Her voice lowered to a whisper, her lips lightly brushed against his as she talked, "I have a question for you. How long did it take for those scratches I put on your back to go away?"
"Answer one question for me then." He moved to trace his lips down the side of her neck. "I've heard someone has stolen your heart." Mai froze. "You never cared for jewelry as gifts darling. But I couldn't help but notice the necklace. Looks new." Without thinking twice Mai tried to pull away, he only held her tighter. "Tell me, who is the lucky guy?"
"He didn't steal my heart." The irony of that statement made her giggle, "I best be going. I'm sure your wife will be home soon." She slipped free of his grasp and walked out.
It was dark. The sky was decorated with endless stars. "How'd your date go?" She slipped into the passenger side closing the door once she was in. "Seemed like you couldn't get away fast enough." She turned to see Bakura. They both exchanged a smile.
"Wasn't too bad… but okay. I'm in."
Bakura couldn't help but to chuckle, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of earrings that made a match to the necklace around her neck and handed them to her. "Perfect."
