Kaiba had been watching Mokuba and Tea dance. Even when that girl was acting like a complete fool, she still managed to look so elegantly. He headed towards the bar to get another drink. Even though he had just thrown up in the bathroom, he needed something to get the taste of his own vomit away. He ordered a vodka martini.
"Well well, if it isn't Seto Kaiba."
Kaiba looked out of the corner of his eye to see who had dared say his full name. It was some girl, she wore a low-cut red dress, it had a huge slit up her thigh. She definitely had the looks to be a model; yet Kaiba wasn't impressed. He went back to drinking his martini.
She came up behind him and wrapped one arm around him, and took the drink out of his hand with the other. "How about you put down that drink and come dance with me."
"Why don't you just dance for me. As I finish this." he said as he took his drink back.
She began dancing very sensually. Kaiba wasn't the least bit impressed. She danced like an elephant wanting to be a gazelle. He looked over her shoulder, given her the impression that he was transfixed on her, but in actuality he was looking at Tea. Even as Tea did a chicken dance, she could still out dance this girl. Had Kaiba told Tea to dance for him, she definitely would've slapped him. This girl just obeyed his every command, he bet that if he told her to strip down naked she would've. The girl began coming closer and closer to him. She soon began grinding on him. She did nothing for him.
"Well Mr. Kaiba, why don't we take this back to your place?" Before Kaiba could tell her to get lost, she kissed him. Kaiba didn't push her away instead, he kissed her back and hard. He wanted to feel something, anything in order to forget Tea. He began feeling something alright, he quickly pushed the girl off of him, and began throwing up all over the floor. As soon as he was done, he felt Mokuba and Tea each grab him by an arm and drag him out of there. As they left Kaiba could see bright flashing lights coming from every direction.
"What's gotten into him!" Tea said furiously as she and Mokuba pushed Kaiba into the back of his limo.
"I don't know, I've never seen him act like this before." Mokuba said giving Kaiba one last push, which caused Kaiba to fall face first onto the limo floor.
Tea and Mokuba quickly got into the limo and tried to prop Kaiba onto the seat.
"Tony, we need to move now!" Mokuba barked. He never lost his temper but seeing his brother acting this way really pissed him off.
"Mokuba when I said get him drunk to tell him the bad news I didn't think you'd take it so seriously." Tea said helping Mokuba prop his brother onto the seat.
"I didn't tell him anything all him, I've never seen him act like this."
"Maybe your brother is just your typical playboy."
"Not really Tea, honestly I've never seen him show much interest in living that playboy lifestyle. In fact before he left for America he had had only one steady girlfriend."
"Really?" Tea asked incredulously.
"Ya, from what I learned he even asked her to go with him, but she didn't want to be with someone who would always put work before her. My brother does that all the time, he's done it to me my whole childhood. I don't blame him though, his hard work and determination is what got us out of that orphanage, it's also what made our childhood dream of owning a theme park come true. He can be a little obsessive, but when you need him to be there he will."
To Tea, even though Mokuba was talking out loud, it was mostly as if he was talking to himself.
"I know why Seto is the way he is, I know why he does anything. That's why I hate myself for all the pain I'm going to cause him."
"Mokuba you can't think like that. You have a right to live your life the way you want to, to make your dreams come true."
"I suppose you're right." Mokuba said not convincingly enough though. But it had been a long night, so Tea didn't press on.
When they arrived at the Kaiba mansion, Tony and Roland helped drag Kaiba up to his room. Tea and Mokuba looked at him from the doorway.
"Tea if you want you can stay the night."
"Thanks Mokuba, but if it's alright with you I'd like to borrow Tony to take me home."
"Absolutely Tea, please excuse me for not walking you out but it's been a long day." Mokuba said as he headed towards his room.
Tea was about to head downstairs, when she heard Kaiba stirring. He lay there on his stomach, sprawled across the bed still fully clothed, including his shoes. Tea walked over to the bed and took off his shoes. She neatly laid them down at the foot of his bed. He looked so peaceful. She sat at the top edge of the bed by his head. She ran the back of her hand down his cheek, his face was cold. She was about to get up and grab a blanket for him when she felt a hand on her forearm.
"Wait... don't go..." Kaiba said gruffly. Tea's heart was beating fast. Did he know it was her? Was he think of the bimbo in the red dress? Or was he dreaming of his ex girlfriend.
"Tea," his voice barely above a whisper "stay." he said now holding her more firmly.
Tea was frozen, she sat back down at the top of the bed. As soon as he felt her warm body next to his, he lifted his head and placed it on her lap, and wrapped one arm around her pulling her close to him.
"Kaiba…" she whispered. There was no response, he didn't even move. He must've fallen asleep again. She told herself that she would only stay a little while. She stroked his hair, it was so soft and full. She began tracing his fine features on his face, how delicate and vulnerable he seemed to her right now. Even though she was furious at him earlier that night, all of that seemed to wash away now that he was in her arms. He had asked her to stay, even said her first name. How sweet her name sounded coming off of his lips. As she wiped his bangs off of his face, she knew she would stay the night, and if he'd let her she'd stay forever.
