Ali's face dropped, the man that was causing her to go crazy was on the other end of the phone.

"Aliana, are you there?" This voice asked.

"Oh, sorry Mr. Seto, I'm just surprised you rang me up" Ali said gulping after every word, her heart couldn't stop skipping beats, and her breathing became heavy.

"This is actually Mr. Kaiba's assistant, I have been asked to invite you to his house this lovely evening" The man on the other side of the phone said.

"Oh, really, why would he want me to come"? Ali asked innocently, like a man who was so mad at her on their 1st date wants her to come to his house. Strange.

"Well it's to apologize, he was pretty rude to you," The man said.

"Tell him to get fucked" Edmund whispered but Ali shooed him away.

"No, he was set up, it wasn't his fault that he was just mad, and maybe if I looked into it, him and I wouldn't of gone off at it" Ali replied softly.

Edmund grabbed his head and spun around.
'Why is she begin so nice to this rude man, its Seto Kaiba, god, why isn't she hanging up' His thoughts growled.

"So, can I tell Mr. Kaiba it is a yes?" The person asked.

Ali held the bottom of the phone and squealed, the person couldn't hear her.
She calmed herself down and put the phone up to her ear.

"Yes, I would love to" She said calmly

"That's great!" The person chirped, he coughed and got back into character, "So, I'll get one of his cars to come pick you up"

"Oh, I could just walk there-"

"No, I insist. You must not walk. That is rude and uncaring." The man said. Ali smiled.

Just thinking Mr. Seto wanted her over made her sweat. This guy, no man, was doing this to her. Just thinking about him made her lose her voice. What is she going to do if she goes over there?

"So, where do you live?" the man asked.

"Oh, uh, well" Ali nearly dropped the phone, she even forgot where she lived, she was to busy thinking about Seto. Her heart was beating fast and her breathing was getting heavy. How could someone take so much out of her? How could some guy make her feel so weak, "Oh, sorry, I live at the 4 seasons, no.7" Ali puffed out.

She couldn't see his face, but she knew that he was smiling. He breathed into the phone before talking again,
"See you tonight" He told her, just like that he hung up. Her face went pale, tonight!

Edmund looked at her and sighed.
'No way, she couldn't of possibly of been nice to him, please don't tell me she really did give him where she lives, this is bad, now he knows where she lives, sometimes she can be so naïve' He thought to himself sighing.

'Oh god oh god oh god, I'm going to Mr. Seto's tonight, I can't do this, but I have to, if I don't, I'll be rude. But what am I to wear, something nice and flashy, but still casual' Aliana thought as she sighed to herself.

"No" Edmund said to her, She automatically looked at him.

"What?" She asked him, He glared at her and walked out of her apartment, what was his problem.

-----------------------------------.:X:.-----------------------------------

Mokuba could hear Aliana breathing heavily and knew she was going to come, she seemed just liked his brother, whenever Seto thought of Aliana he was sweat and his breathing would become heavy, Mokuba knew he had to get them together, they both couldn't stop thinking about each other, even though it had been about 2days since that night.

"Oh, sorry, I live at the 4 seasons, no.7"She told Mokuba, he smiled. It took her along time to say that, she must have been stuttering and thinking if she wanted to go.

He breathed into the phone and said.

"See you tonight" Mokuba said to her. He hang up the phone and jumped in excitement, it was good, because Seto was having a party at his house, only, it was only people from work. But it was still a party, and many people will be there. So it could just be a coincidence she's there.

Seto walked into the room to see a smile on Mokuba's face, a bigger one than usual, not even asking he walked back out to get ready for the party.

'I know this is going to work out, because when you saw her on the television you smiled. And I haven't seen you smile in years. This girl must be special, thank god I called up the dating service and asked for her name and number, or none of this would happen' Mokuba thought to himself.

He knew Ali felt the same way, because when she thought it was Seto, she started stuttering.

-----------------------------------.:X:.-----------------------------------

Ali curled her sleek black hair and put a beret on. She had her one of a kind pair red ruby ear rings on that Edmund got for her especially and slipped her black dress on that had red on the center of it. She put on her red tie up heels and tied them just under her knees and pulled her sleeves just off her shoulder. She looked in the mirror and smiled at her reflection, this was the first time she felt pretty proud of what she looked like. This was the first time she wanted to look good.

Aliana soon heard a beep from outside and looked down to see a limo parked outside the front of the apartment, she picked up her white bag and stepped outside of her room, she went up to the television and switched it off and put the remote inside her purse.

"No television" She pointed at fluffy who meowed like she was annoyed, "I don't care, I want you to go to bed on time tonight, if I come home and your still awake, your sleeping on the balcony, the cold balcony" Ali threatened her cat.

Fluffy meowed and slowly but surely laid down and glared at Ali who was now walking out the door, she closed the door and locked it, she turned around to bump into someone's chest, not like it was hard to do that, Ali was short enough. She was only 162cm. And compared to Mr. Seto and Edmund, that was nothing. Edmund was 176cm and she didn't know how tall Seto was.

She opened her eyes to see Edmund's long black t-shirt.
He looked down at her with concerned eyes.
"Don't go," He pleaded. She smiled at him like this was a game,

"I won't be long, it will be rude not to go," She said still smiling, even though Edmund looked so concerned, Ali could read people like books and she loved books, Edmund was in pain, but not for her going out, from something else.

He lent down and kissed her on the cheek. "Be careful" With that he walked back into his apartment.

-----------X-----------

Ali was gob smacked once she got out of the car to see everyone arriving, she wasn't that dressed up and she seemed to be the one standing out, Everyone else was in white.

But no one gave her the message that it was a white party. Totally blush fest. Aliana placed her head down when she was getting escorted, she knew no one there, and she was in black. Maybe people will think she's Goth wearing all black. But Ali just liked black and red. Her favourite colour was red. And black went so well with red.

The doors were opened and her mouth felt like falling off her face, it was beautiful, and again, everyone inside was wearing white, so she stood out. But this didn't really upset Ali, she felt different and she liked being different, she was escorted to the top of the stairs.

"Mr. Kaiba will be down soon, please make your self at home," the man told her speaking in a strong voice, he walked away.

"Yes, and that will be so easy" Ali said sarcastically, he was a millionaire and Ali, was, Well Ali is a dating service reject. Couldn't get worse than that. Seto had a mansion while she had an apartment that was $130 a month. Seto was the CEO of a company with his own building, while Ali was a student at a sating service company that had a sucky boss and sucky date people, Well the people Ali dated anyway.

Seto was known by mostly all of Domino City, while not many people knew Ali existed. So Ali didn't really feel like she was going to make herself at home, because this didn't feel like a home, maybe a one in a lifetime chance at a massive hotel, that she'd not even staying at.

She stayed silent and didn't move an inch, not even when people pushed past her, she felt like a black sheep, a reject of the whole group.

Soon enough she felt like she wanted to go throw up or something, she was very good at crowds, and she was in the middle of one, it made her vision go to tunnel vision, and seem like everything was caving it. And it made her feel really ill. She slipped into a door unnoticed and walked down the empty halls, she felt lost in a maze, but she wasn't going to open any of the doors, it would be rude, so she walked on until she came to the end of the corridor, she looked around but there was only one reasonably way to go, in the room.

She opened the door slowly and peeked in, her eyes widened at the figure in the room. It was Kaiba, getting dressed. She was dazed by his abs and his nice body hypnotized her, she couldn't bare to look away. Until the moment went and he turned around to see her drooling at him.

"Ah" She quickly bowed and closed the door, she hurried down the hall as fast as she could, just so she didn't have to see Mr. Seto.

Her heart pounding at the image of him in her mind, she seemed to be occupied by the image that she didn't see the door in front of her…

! SMASH!

Ali fell on her butt with her head thumping; she held her head tight and ignored the urge to cry. She just got up and rubbed her head lightly to get her eyes back in focus, she put her hand on the handle to have herself being turned around.

Her sky blue eyes met with a pair of icy blue ones. Her breathing went heavy and her heard started pounding, she bowed at him.

"I am so sorry Mr. Seto, I promise I didn't see anything, please forgive me" she pleaded to him; he just looked at her with his eyes and towered over her. She felt like an ant, any in any moment, Kaiba would crush her.

"Hmmm, you didn't see anything?" He said looking at her, she couldn't lie; she was never good at lying.

"I wouldn't say nothing, but I didn't know it was you until you turned around" Ali said trying not to get him angry, but she knew his outcome wouldn't be very nice.

"Why don't you just go away?" He said to her coldly, though Ali wanted to stay, she just bowed and walked through the door leading to his guests.

Soon the light from the room was gone from around her and Aliana turned around to see Kaiba taking up her light. She moved away from him but it didn't really help when he walked closer.

"Why are you here?" He asked in his cold voice.

"I was invited" She told him, she wasn't giving in to the urge feel his abs.

"I didn't invite you," He told her.

"But, your assistant asked me to come" She told him politely.

"My assistant doesn't even know you," He said to her with the same cold voice.

"How could your assistant not know me when he rang me up, you should really get your story straight pal" Ali didn't usually speak to people like this, but her anger was rising, she knew he didn't do anything, but this was just like the other time, and she was getting blamed. Well that was the picture she was getting

"My assistant's a female," he told her, Aliana's face dropped.

'Whoops' She thought to herself

"Ah, oh. I'm sorry Mr. Seto" She felt like a dumb blond, she was set up yet again, but this time she wasn't going to cry, no. She was too old for that. She was getting more mad than sad.

"Would you stop calling me Mr. Seto," He told her in a strong stern voice.

"Well I would call you Mr. Kaiba, but that's a professional kind of name, and I don't really think you're a professional. Mr. Seto" She mocked him

"Then just call me Kaiba," He told her, probably not even caring much.

"But that's too personal and I don't really know you" Ali seemed to have this one in the bag, she was even thinking about getting him to let her call him just Seto, "Why not just let me call you Seto, I already call you by the first name anyway"

She felt like she was getting used to the way he spoke around her, it didn't really phase her that he didn't really care much about this party, well about anyone at the party anyway, she was having fun just talking to him, not like last time.

"That's more personal than calling me Kaiba" He rolled his eyes, that just made her smile.

"Yes, well then don't diss the name I call you" She smirked at him, she wasn't going to lose the name she called him, because it was a name no one else called him, and it made her feel like she knew him a bit.

"Fine, what ever. I still haven't found out who invited you here" He said looking down at her, it wasn't that hard to look down on Ali, and she was used to it, her little sister was taller than her, and she was just 15.

"Well it's not like it matters anyway, your just going to throw me out" Ali told him, she was good at reading people, and she already knew he was going to

"Good point" He mumbled out, probably getting sick of the conversation.

"What if you don't, can I make you let me stay," Ali was practically begging.

"You can try if you want," He told her.

"Hi!" She chirped holding out her hand, "My name is Aliana, and I'm a big fan of your company"

'She's one fascinating creature this Aliana' Seto thought to himself.

"That was random and totally unexpected" He looked at her weirdly.

"Thank you" She smiled

"You take compliment to the most weirdest things" Even thought he was looking at her weirdly, he was smiling inside, this girl made him feel so warm inside.

"Well, It's not like it's bad to take compliments, it just means I'm a happy person, and I seem to like yours a lot" Ali smiled at him, making his insides melt.

'Who is this girl? And how is she making me feel so defenseless' He thought to himself

"Even though, there not compliments" His voice was still cold, but it was different this time, his eyes were warm.

"It doesn't matter that they aren't compliments, it matters that I like you, uh, I mean, your, well. Your half compliments" Ali's face was getting redder by the second.

"I'm going to pretend that you didn't say that. Now, as for the compliments thing, what I say isn't a compliment, this is a compliment. Your looking extremely lovely tonight Ali, that's a compliment. I am merely telling you what I think about you" He told her calmly, this made Aliana get shocked, well he wasn't a very nice man, but she always knew there was something more than the empty shell outside, that's why she never got angry, plus she wasn't that kind of girl.

Ali's face went blank for a moment until she smiled at him, "Does this mean you don't hate me?" She asked

Kaiba put a hand on his temple and rubbed them, "That was an example you dimwit"

Ali smiled at him, "It doesn't mean I can't take it as the real thing" She giggled.

"I give up, stay, go, I don't care. Just don't come near me" He rolled his eyes.

Ali smiled and went on her tippy toes, making her his height, and kissed his cheek lightly, "I like you too" She smiled.

Kaiba clenched his fists tight and walked off in a huff.
