Aliana was sitting on one of the steps in the pool, holding onto the railing.
"I would never of done it- I mean- if I knew you were- uh. I'm sorry," She said softly to Seto who was sitting on the edge of the pool.
"It's fine" He replied after a minute of silence.
"No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't of done it, I went over board" Ali didn't accept how he was being so nice and calm about it, "I mean, I could of killed you" She said softly, still thinking about it.
"Ha, I doubt it"Ali's head shot around and looked at Seto with concerned but shocked eyes.
"What?" Ali whispered questionably.
"I don't think you could kill another living creature if you tried, not to mention a human" Seto told her, Ali got shocked, he was right, she couldn't never hurt anything, let alone kill something, how did he know so much about her.
"That's true" Ali laughed "I can't even kill a spider that's in my apartment, actually, I just run away and let Edmund take it out, but I don't let him kill it" Ali shook her head lightly, a faint blush line appeared over her cheeks.
"Who's Edmund?" Seto asked her.
"Just a friend, he lives next door," Ali told him with a small smile.
"Ok" Seto replied.
"Ok, I know we've been like this for about 2hours, but, OH MY GOD, I'm practically NAKED in front of you" Ali practically screamed holding her body. Her cheeks were crimson, she didn't realise it, and the fact that she was stuck in the moment.
Seto rolled his eyes at her." You didn't figure that out before?" he asked
"I WAS caught in the moment thank you," She pointed out, hiding her body under the water.
"What ever. The only person you can blame is yourself. This was your idea" Seto told her, she sighed. But kept her body under the water.
"But, but, I'm so revealing" She complained, holding her chest.
"Your fault" he said to her.
"Yes, but your the one liking it" Ali accused him.
"Well sorry for being human" Seto rolled his eyes at her.
"You should be" She spat back, like an amused child.
"And what about you? I've been walking around with less clothes on than you" Set spat back at her, making her whole face turn bright red.
"What, you think I like it, with no top, revealing your well-built stomach, and without any long pants, Geez, your really nice long, legs. Well. I don't." Ali said practically drooling over Seto's revealed body.
Seto leant forward, letting his arms rest on his knees. He was easily towering above Ali; an amused smirk lurked on his face.
"No, your right. I don't think you like it" Ali gave a sigh as he said it, she looked into his eyes and saw a glisten of power and the need of wanting something rest upon the ice blue eye's.
"I think you love it" he let the words loose from his mouth as though it was silk.
Ali hesitated for a moment, "What makes you say that?" She asked.
"Your eyes say everything" He said with that same smirk on his face, Ali gulped, knowing that she did love it, and she wanted to have it, touch it and kiss it, it was too much to keep back, but Ali kept it quiet, she couldn't take her eyes off his, like she was stuck, she smiled and grunted,
"Well your eyes are telling me that you love me like this, wet all over" She let the words roll out of her mouth, with an amused smirk rested on her lips.
"Very good" he told her, his eyes not leaving hers.
Ali's eyes widened, while her cheeks went crimson, "Eww" She shook her head.
Seto gave a low husky laugh.
"You know, if you weren't looking at me intently, I would get out this pool and try to dry off, but I don't think your going to look away anytime soon" Ali said keeping an eyes on where he's looking.
"I thought you said we were going out?" Seto said looking deep into her sky blue eyes, which were reflecting off the pool water.
"That doesn't mean you have to see me straight away, he haven't even properly kissed yet" Ali pointed out.
"May I point out again, this was YOUR idea. So don't start making me look like a pervert when you were the one who openly stripped" Seto told Ali, whose eyes widened when he spoke the word 'Stripped'
"Oh, I did not, I took off my dress to jump into a pool, I did not strip, and anyway, I wouldn't of thought you would keep looking at me" Ali said swimming up to the side of the pool, holding onto the side of the pool, next to him.
"You expect me not to look?" he asked, "You make it sound as though you expect me to be a saint".
"Oh at least don't keep looking, it's like I'm at a checkout, and your eyes are the scanners, like really. You might not think about it, but having a guy looking at you, intently, freaks you out a bit." Ali said looking up at him from the side. Her blue eyes warming up his icy eyes.
"Well a guy looking at me would freak me out" He pointed out, Ali hit her temple.
"No, I meant, a girl, if a guy kept looking at you, and wouldn't stop, it would really freak a girl out" Ali explained to him.
"Well, it makes a difference if the guy and the girl like each other and are going out, the fact of the matter is, you did strip in front of me, what am I suppose to do, not look" Seto told Ali, making her blush a little.
"No, I mean, yes. Gah, don't make it so hard to reply, it is ok to look, I'm sorry, I'm just getting freaked out, because-"She prompted herself up and sat beside him, "-the fact of the matter, is-" She stopped for a moment, trying to think of the right words, she looked at Seto and smiled weakly, "-I really like your body".
"I'm glad" He replied with a slight smile.
Ali sat there for a moment, just looking at Seto, before smiling and placing her head on his shoulder.
"You know, I like your body as well," he almost whispered.
After realizing what he had said, her face went a crimson colour, she took her head off his shoulder and looked at him, "You do?" Her voice cracked
"I wouldn't be here if I didn't" He replied, her face went ever brighter.
'You got to be kidding, Seto Kaiba…likes my body?' Ali thought to herself, smiling at him.
"Are you thinking of ways to use this body?" She squeaked, her gaze being directed at the pool.
"I can if you want me to" He said lazily,
"N-NO" She screamed jumping up, her cheeks totally red, "I did- I mean, I just- Gah, NEVER MIND" She yelled trying to forget the fact she was half naked in front of him
"Relax. I was only teasing" He looked amused,
Ali looked at him with confusion then through her bag at him, that was on the ground, "Damn it Seto, you made me freak out" She said turning away from him.
"What can I say. Your just really easy to freak out" He replied, she turned back around, without a response, she sat down next to him and crossed her arms.
"I never used to be like this, I never used to be this shy, and I know I was shy, but not like this. Ever since I met you, I've just been really, freaked out, and…scared," She said looking away from him.
"Hmm, wonder why" He replied, looking at her.
"Because you're a well-known man who owns a successful company, while, I- well I'm just a failure, and- and I didn't want to have this fail as well, yes, we've been going out for about 12hours, but that doesn't mean I want it to fail the same day" Ali stuttered out, looking back at Seto with her sky blue eyes.
"Maybe you haven't been trying the right stuff. There must be something your good at" Seto said looking into her beautiful eyes, she smiled.
"The only thing I've ever been good at is- nothing" Ali said.
It was true, she tried everything, and she bad at most things, but that didn't mean she gave up. She was a pusher, and it hurt her to admit it, but she was.
She pushed herself out of her mother
She pushed herself out of home
She pushed herself out into the open
She pushed herself to get a job
And she pushed herself to become friends with the no.1 enemy- Seto Kaiba.
"I'm just a pusher, and I have to live with that, " She mumbled out.
"What's something you really want?" he asked her.
She looked at the water.
She didn't know what she wanted; all she ever wanted was to be in love. But knowing she was a pusher made it really hard.
She always wanted to be crazy over someone; she always wanted to know what it was like to be truly in love.
"What do you mean?" Ali asked, she didn't get the question, she knew it was a simple question, but it meant so much.
"Has there been anything in life you really truly wanted?" He asked her, she nodded her head.
"Well, I always wanted to know what it was like- well- to ride an elephant!" She chirped
Seto gave her a weird look.
"Um, ok. I wasn't expecting that but anyway. If you really want that to happen then you need to go out and try your best to get it"
She laughed, "I was joking, I wanted to see your reaction," She said giggling, "You know, you're pretty gullible"
"Look who's talking" Seto told her,
"I'm sorry, there are no mirrors around, I can't" She grinned, being amused by all this
"Well, normally I'm not gullible but when you said you wanted to ride an elephant it didn't sound as weird coming from you" He said to Ali, with a smirk on his face.
"Oh, and I should be happy about this" Ali said to him, a bit offended
"No" He replied.
"Oh, I knew I was weird, but come on, who wants to ride an elephant, ok, I must admit, they are better than camels, because camels spit" Ali pointed out to Seto, still having the smile on her face.
"You wouldn't want to say that to an Indian. They might get offended," Seto Pointed out
"Yes, but I'm not talking to an Indian, I'm talking to you. See, the one thing I always wanted, was to know how it felt like to be in love. My mother was head over heels for my father, and I didn't know why she would always cry when they had a fight, it was just a fight right? And then Brody and Bella love each other, and whenever they have an argument, Bella always seems to cry. I want to feel that, I was to know what it's like to be in love, and get hurt because of it, I want to understand why it hurts so much when the two people fight, I want to understand why people get so happy about finding their love, what makes it so special" Ali smiled at Seto, but with her face burning up.
"That makes sense. It's only natural, "Seto told Ali,
"But," Ali once again placed her head on Seto's shoulder, "It's confusing, as much as I want to fall in love, I'm scared that I'm going to fall in love with the wrong person, and he's going to hurt me, he's going to be nasty to me, I want to find a guy that doesn't care that I'm a pusher, that doesn't care if I don't have the perfect body, a guy who doesn't care if I'm scared or shy, or if I want to take it slow. A guy just for me, Oh. I'm sorry Seto. I just kept going on," Ali said looking away from him.
"I don't care if you don't have a perfect body and I don't mind going slow. If you think that you're a pusher, I can be ten times worse when I want to be," Seto told her, with stern eyes,
"I don't get it, why are so nice around me? Why aren't you mean and cruel? Like people say you are" Ali asked him, looking into his eyes.
Seto shrugged. The truth was, he really didn't know, "I guess I'm trying for something as well"
"What's that?" She asked
"You're going to have to find that out yourself" He smirked at her,
She grinned and pushed him over, so he was lying on the ground, Ali got on top of him, her legs each side of his hips and held his arms on his chest,
"Come on, you gonna have to tell me now" She cooed
"What are you going to do to me if I don't?" Seto smirked.
"I'll use my imagination," She told him,
The fact of the matter is Ali didn't notice how bad this looked if anyone else saw it, she was just having fun, like she usually does, and being around Seto let her be herself,
"Well then, you're going to have to force it out of me" Seto told her with an evil grin on his face.
"Oh, sonofa- fine" Ali said to him, "I'll just have to- to, I don't know, but it'll make you cry, maybe even scream" Ali told Seto, with a grin on her face
"I'm still not telling," He teased
"Why not?" She whined
"Because I'm intrigued to see where this will go" Seto cocked an eyebrow at Ali, whose face went red.
"Damn it, your mean, really mean, I told you mine. Fine, do it the hard way, I'll just sit here" She told him getting comfy; she held his hands and sat with her with her head on chest, staring at him.
"This isn't bothering me at all but I do wonder what's going to happen if someone shows up," Seto pointed out. Ali waved her hands around, letting go of his, "GAH. That totally unfair, so your allowed to know what I want, but I can't know what you want," Aliana whined
"I never said you weren't allowed to know, I said you had to find out yourself," Seto told her.
"It'll be easier if you tell me" She said with a cheesy smile
"What do want the most right now?" Seto asked.
"What, uh," Ali glared at Seto, "You'll have to figure it out yourself" Ali teased.
"Fine, you want to know what I want. Right?" Seto asked, looking at Ali.
"Yes, yes I do" Ali nodded.
"Then I am going to make you find out. I am going to make you use all your strengths just to find out," He told her.
Her eyes widened" WHAT!" She yelled,
"You said that you fail in everything right. Well make this a goal, find out what I want and make sure you do. Failure is not an option," Seto told her, like an order.
"How am I supposed to find it out?" She asked. Her mouth still dropped in shock
"That's what you have to figure out" Seto told her.
"That's soo not cool" She whined
"You don't want to fail right?" Seto asked her.
"No" She shook her head
"Then I suggest you try as hard as you can and that starts with no complaining" Seto said sternly.
"You know, right now I hate you, and I'm mad," She told him, but her smile was on her face, "But with that kind of face, I couldn't stay mad" she cooed pinching his cheeks.
"Do that again and I'm gonna be the one who's getting mad" Seto growled,
Ali grinned and held his hands down with one of her hands and started pinching her cheek, "But your cheek is just soo ccuttee" She cooed
Seto let his hands free with ease and grabbed Ali's hands.
"So not cool," She pouted
"I could do so much with your hands stuck like this," He said with a twinkle of evil in his eyes.
"You wouldn't dare" Ali said in a threatening tone.
"Oh I would" He smirked at her,
"If you do anything, you will pay for it," She growled, struggling against his grip. That seemed to just get stronger.
"Oh really?" He sounded amused,
"I could easily scream, and I have a loud scream" She told him.
"And I could prevent that" Seto told her with a smirk on his face.
"You have no more hands left" Ali pointed out.
Suddenly, Ali felt herself being pulled down towards him.
"I will scream" She threatened him, still getting closer to him
"And I'm still going to prevent it" He told her.
"Oh, enlighten me, how will you prevent it without your hands?" She asked, she struggling against his grip.
With another forceful pull, Seto had Ali crashing her lips against his.
'So that's how, damn it, I should get out of this, this just shows that he will get what he wants. But whose complaining, he has nice lips' Ali thought to herself, not pulling away.
Moments later, she pushed herself away from him, "Ok, so that was how you were going to stop me from screaming, but what are you gonna do now, my hands are free" Ali told him waving her hands in front of her face.
"Nothing, I'm happy now," He told her, her face started to heat up.
The thought of kissing him flooded into her mind, she didn't think about it before, and she didn't really take it into heart when he kissed her for the first time.
She got up and wiped herself off, "Come one prince charming, let's go back to my place, I want to show you my place" She chirped.
"Ok"
"Why not?" She realised what he said and looked at him, "Really?"
"Might as well" Seto shrugged, making Ali smile.
"YAY!" She chirped.
The had gotten there clothes back on, and they were not wet anymore, without thinking, they got into the care and drove off.
Soon enough they got to Aliana's apartment door, she put the key in and just as she was about to walk in, the door of Edmund's apartment opened, he walked out and looked at Ali and his gaze was directed at Seto.
'Oh dear' Ali thought to herself
"Uh, Edmund, meet-"
"I know who he is, why he's here is what I want to know" Edmund sneered
"She invited me," Seto said calmly
