Denial
2 a.m. was a strange hour. Weirdest things happen around that time. This early morning was an annoying one. Bakura sighed as he again listened to the drunken voicemail his accomplice left him. Her voice was nervous, but she seemed so sure of herself, she didn't mumble or slur her words. Honestly he was quite proud of her, she was drunk but she seemed to gain some control. A smile appeared on his face, what an annoying girl. Constantly sent messages and called more than usual when drunk, by now he was used to it, by now his phone a full of every message she sent. And once again he saved this one as well. He put the phone down and sighed, staring at the bright computer screen. What exactly was he doing before he listened to that? The phone rang, this time he answered quickly. "Explain to me how your kidneys are still functioning." He teased.
"Bakura you answered! I thought you were sleep…. Wait… have you purposely been ignoring my calls?" she was angry.
That made him chuckle, "No. I was busy. Sorry I'll answer next time." He found it slightly funny when he didn't answer the first three times when she calls. Seeing her slightly angry was hilarious. He looked to see what the time. A strange feeling came over him, "Where are you?"
"…close…" the line went dead, he put his phone back down. How close was close exactly? He stared at the phone for a bit. Just when he wanted to call back, a knock sounded. Without thinking twice he was up to let her in.
Instantly he reached out to grab her hand. The unease, the uncomfortable feeling he'd normally get when their fingers lace slowly was disappearing. It was feeling more right, or normal to do this. He quickly let go of her and took a step back. Tonight she had a white skirt and a weird looking t shirt, something was different about her. He had noticed the last few times he saw her something was very different.
What exactly was so different? He couldn't figure it out, he folded his arms across his chest and looked at her.
Mai stood, one leg behind the other, her arms behind her back. She bit her lower lip and looked about the room, avoiding looking at him. What the hell was the matter with her? He continued watching her before he fully understood what was wrong now.
"…We're just friends Mai." He stated. That got her to look at him. A frown appeared on her face, but went away when she nodded.
Probably only infatuation from drinking. He turned to walk back over to his desk. "Yeah… We're just friends.." he froze.
That. Actually… hurt.
