Chapter Three

Mai dried her eyes and kissed Valon for being such a good man and trying to understand why she has let Joey stay with them. She got up and walked back into the bedroom and sat beside Joey and she said as he touched his shoulder "Joey, come on and wake up, we've got to talk."

Joey opened his eyes and smiled his crooked smile and said "thanks for being such a good friend."

Mai stood up and place her hands on her hips and demanded to know " what the hell is going on between you two?"

Joey closed his eyes and then he said "I'd rather not talk about it right now."

Mai then looked him right in the eye and she all but yelled "I don't give a rats ass what you don't want to do, I want you to tell me just what is wrong!"

Joey then smiled as he commented "I forgot just how bossy you are."

Mai then laughed as she told him "listen hon, we have been friends for a very long time and who was the one who hounded me about Valon and what a great guy he was and that if I let him get away then I would be a damn fool? Well I could say the same thing about you and your love for Seto, so come on and spit it out and just maybe between the two of us we can come up with a solution to this mess the two of you have gotten yourselves into."

Then Joey took a deep breath and told her "when Seto and I first got married he promised to try not to work so hard and always have time for the two of us. Well at first he kept that promise, but lately he's forgotten what he said. I know that he's a very important man and that Kaiba Corp does demand a lot from him, but hell, all I want is a little of his time too. Is that to much to ask?"

Mai then sat down and put her arm around Joey's shoulders and she softly said "no its not to much to ask for, but have you tried to talk to him about your feelings?"

"Hell I've even made three appointments to see him and all three times he had his Secretary cancel them saying that he just didn't have time right now. What else am I suppose to do, kidnap him and make him listen to me?" Joey asked her.

Mai didn't know what to say. She wanted to get hold of Seto and beat some sense into him. Then she said "don't get mad, but I called and told Roland were you were and he told me that when Seto read your letter, he fainted and when he hit the floor he split his head open. He's going to be alright he had to have a few stitches. I asked Roland to have him call and talk to you." Joey smiled at her and said "thanks for trying, but as you can see, he hasn't even tried to call."

"Why don't you call him and see if maybe the two of you can get together and talk over what's wrong and maybe the two of you could go away for awhile and get to know each other better?" Mai said. Joey then reached for the phone and she left to give him some privacy. She prayed that Seto would listen to what Joey had to say.

Joey dialed the Manor and Roland answered "hello Kaiba residence my I help you?"

"Roland it's me and could I please talk to Seto?" Joey asked.

"Joey he's not here right now, he's at Kaiba Corp working on some important business matter and doesn't want to be bothered. I'll let him know that you call." Joey had a tear run down his face as he thanked Roland and hung up the phone. I guess it's really over then Joey whispered.
