Ali continued to lay under Seto; quite happy about the feeling it was making her feel.
She smirked and teased, "I doubt anything you share with me would be great for my health"
"Oh I think you'll find it could do wonders for your health" Seto said in a sexy voice.
"Well I'll have to be the judge of that, now won't i?" Ali replied in a cheeky voice.
"I guess so" Seto answered.
Aliana thought of a plan and smirked. She did a fake yawn and relaxed under Seto, "But not now, I'm sleepy" She lied.
"No your not" Seto told her.
She frowned at him, "How did you know that?" She asked
"I didn't, but now i do" Seto smirked at Ali.
Aliana huffed, "That's not nice, I could totally be tired and you're telling me I'm a liar"
"If you really were tired you would have told me again that you were, not saying 'how did you know?'" Seto explained.
Ali glared at him and frowned, "I should know by now my lies can't get past you"
"You should" Seto replied.
There was a moment silence before Ali asked, "will you share these things with me?"
"I wouldn't be here if i didn't" A shiver was sent up Ali's spine as Seto spoke those words.
Ali lifted herself up by her elbows so she was close to Seto's face, "I want to share everything with you" She said looking into his eyes. Trying to read his reaction.
"Everything?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ali's eyes widened at his question. But she smiled and lifted herself up more so she was next to his ear and whispered, "Every little secret, every little dream, everything".
"Good because I wasn't planning on leaving anything out anyway" Seto explained, making Ali move back to his inches in front of his face, smiling at his comment.
'I want to tell him, I should tell him. Tell him everything, even if he doesn't like what I tell him' Ali thought to herself, keeping her smile intact.
Seto brushed a bit of Ali's hair away from her face and starred deeply into her eyes.
She took no longer before kissing him lightly on the lips. This was the moment, her moment.
"uh-ah-i" Ali gulped nothing but stutters were coming out.
"Hmm?" he said as he looked longingly at her lips.
'I can't, what if he rejects my love? I wouldn't be able to stand it.' Aliana thought.
She blinked before answering, "Nothing"
Seto gave a small shrug before pulling her up to his lips.
After what felt like forever, they broke away, she looked up to him with s faint smile.
'Now or never' she thought. She took a deep breath in and continued, "Seto- i- I love you" She stuttered out in a small whisper.
Ali felt Seto's body tense up after she said it.
She waited for what felt like to long before answering, "At least say something".
"What do you want me to say?" Seto asked.
He looked into her eyes, inside he could see this was tearing her up inside. She looked away and breathed slowly, trying her hardest not to cry, "Nothing" She replied quietly.
He sighed, trying to figure out what to do
"Everything you would say would be a lie anyway" She hiccupped.
"If I said that I loved you, then yes. If i told you that i have some sort of feelings for you, then no" He spoke.
Tear swelled up in her eyes, and the fact of being under him made her feel sick to the stomach, and all she wanted to do was get away.
She didn't want him to see her cry, and she was close to it. She pushed him off of her, not even caring if it was rough and jumped up running to her room.
She cried into her pillow case, not noticing someone coming into the room. She fiddled with her hands, wiping invisible dirt off them, "I hate him! I hate him! I do!" She screamed into the covers.
Ali felt the edge of her bed dip down as she cried.
Ali tried to calm herself down to talk, but more tears came to her eyes," What- do- you- want?" She took deep breathes after every word.
"To talk to you" A voice replied, Ali knew it was Seto.
A jolt of pain and betrayal shot through Ali and she swung her arm out and hit him in the face, "I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU!" She screamed in-between hiccups.
Ali froze in shock but to her surprise, Seto hadn't flinched either. Although there was a red mark from where she had hit him, Seto did not make a move to yell at her back. He just looked at her with a stern face.
Ali wiped the dry tears away, for more to escape her eyes; she looked at him with teary eyes and hiccupped. After a moment, staring at him made her feel even more horrible and she went back to whimpering in her pillow, "I didn't mean to hit you hard" She mumbled into the pillow.
"It's ok, I've been hit harder" Seto replied. Ali stopped for a moment in shock. But buried her head into the pillow. Now there were no gaps of air.
"Ali, breath. It usually helps us live" Seto said, half concerned.
"It doesn't matter anymore, no one cares" She mumbled. Letting out deep breaths.
"Since when did you go all emo on me?" Seto asked.
Ali squirmed around for a moment until pushing herself off the pillow and taking deep breaths, "It's not like you love me enough to care about what happens to me!" She protested in slow breathes.
Seto sighed; he knew she was going to say something like that.
"Ali, did I say that I hated you?" He asked.
She glared at him and threw her arms up in the air, "Well you didn't say you loved me either!" She argued in a loud voice.
"I know because I don't know if i do or not"
"Well then, you hate me!" She yelled, pulling the covers over her head, not baring to look at him anymore.
"ALI" he shouted at her and pulled the covers off. "Be reasonable ok? There's more to feelings than just love and hate you know. I may not love you but you do mean something to me"
"Yeah, I might mean something to you. But you USED to mean the world to me" She glared daggers at him, dry tears stained her face.
Anger started to build up in Seto. He was trying with all his might not to yell at her but he knew the moment he started to shout at her, she'd start to cry.
"Ali, think who you are talking to ok? Just, think about it" Seto said slowly.
"I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!" She shouted.
"ALI, JUST THINK. JUST SAY MY NAME AND REALISE WHO EVERYTHING THINKS I AM" Seto shouted at her, she cringed at his voice, but stood tall none the less.
"SO BECAUSE EVERYONE THINKS YOU'RE A HUGE SPOILT, BASTARD OF A MAN, YOU CAN'T FALL IN LOVE?" She yelled at him in question.
"IT'S BECAUSE I'M A BASTARD THAT I FIND IT HARD TO EVEN CONSIDER PEOPLE FRIENDS" Seto yelled back.
Aliana eyes widened at his comment, she shook her head to keep more tears from escaping her eyes, "Do you think-"She turned away from his gaze, "- I mean, do you think I wanted to fall in love with someone like you?" Ali asked.
"I'm surprised that we've lasted this long" Seto comment, Ali looked at him shocked.
"Why's that?" She asked
"Well I figured that you'd given up on me" Seto explained.
Aliana's eyes widened as she shook her head, "Do you know why I like you so much, because you're a challenge, you've always been a challenge, and I had to challenge myself just to be with you." Ali explained. Not even glancing at Seto as she spoke.
"So you dared yourself to make it work?" He asked,
Ali looked at him weird, "You dared me, I would given up a long time ago if I didn't want to know why you were pushing yourself to be my friend" Ali told him.
"I thought about it and I realised that I had more things gained than lost if I went out with you" Seto said.
Ali looked at him, her blue eyes sparkling with tears, "Is that it? Did you even like me to start off with?" She asked.
Seto sighed again.
"Let me re-phrase that. If i went out with you then I'd gain a really cute girlfriend and if i didn't, then I was stuck with just myself again" Seto corrected.
"And would that be that bad! At least you could never hurt anyone if it was just yourself!" Ali snarled.
"WHY ARE YOU STILL MAD AT ME.? I JUST ADMITTED THAT I LIKE YOU" Seto yelled at Ali.
She stood up on the bed so she had the height advantage and screamed back at him, "I ADMITTED I LOVED YOU, AND YOU REJECTED ME, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FEELS LIKE!"
"I HAVEN'T REJECTED YOU" Seto continued the argument.
"WELL WHAT IS IT, BECAUSE IT SURE FEELS LIKE REJECTION" Ali yelled waving her hands around.
"Ok, you right, I don't love you. But Ali you must understand that your not just a friend anymore" Seto said.
Ali shook her head, "But it hurts! It doesn't matter if you like me! Wouldn't you feel hurt, betrayed because the person you love- More than anything in the world, doesn't love you back? Wouldn't you want to hide from the world, cry until you have no more tears to cry? Because that's what I feel like. I want you to leave and never come back, but then I don't want you to leave, just incase you never come back" She cried out at him.
"Look, I can't predict the future and I don't know if I'll ever actually love you but" he paused to turn away from Ali's eyes. "If we keep on going on the way we have been then i think i will" he told her in a soft voice.
Ali's eyes shot open after closing them to keep the tears in, she looked over at Seto to see his face was partly red and he was turned away from her.
Seto bounced a bit as something hit the bed.
Ali had jumped into a sitting position on the bed, smiling at the back of Seto's head.
"Coming from you, that means something, so I'll wait. Wait for that day, you can return my love" Seto heard Ali's voice hum. Her voice back to that soft caring voice.
"Took you long enough to figure things out" Seto said.
He turned his head to look at Ali, just to have her lips pressed against his. Moments later she backed away and looked at him in the eye, "Took you long enough to say it"
"But i had to spell things out to you" Seto smirked.
"Well with you, I can never be certain" She said. Wiping the dry tears off her face.
"I guess it's just something we have to fix then" Seto explained.
She smiled weakly at him, still not certain to be sad, or be happy, "I guess so" She said softly
Ali let herself lean on Seto and sighed. She still hurt a bit, knowing that he didn't love her but she knew that if was just patient, her day will come.
"I'm sorry" She mumbled.
"It's fine" Seto said. Ali gently laid her head on his lap, taking it slowly to see his reaction.
Seto gulped but kept a straight face.
"You're soft" She hummed softly.
"Really? I wouldn't say that" he mumbled.
Ali shifted so she was looking up at him, "Why's that?" She asked
"You're joking right?" Seto asked looking at her strangely.
She sent a weird look at him, instantly telling him she had no idea what he was talking about.
"I'm not explaining it to you. You can just figured it out or discover what i mean" Seto explained.
She gave him a pout; "Please" She was on the verge of begging.
"No" he told her firmly.
"At least give me that hint, is it you're pants, maybe you-"She stopped at her next thought, gulping as she tensed up. No wondering if his fly was zipped up or down.
Seto laughed and stroked Ali's hair," Your so naïve,"
"You could have just told me, I might have jumped up and screamed, but at least I wouldn't be scared to move" Ali glared at him.
"What do you thinks gonna happen? You think that my dick is gonna get a mind of its own and start eating you or something?" Seto asks.
Ali's eyes widened, "IT'S GOING TO EAT ME NOW" She cried, trying to jump up only to have Seto push her back down on his lap, "You want it to eat me".
"Nothing is going to eat you" Seto insisted.
"Oh right, nothing that small could ever eat something like me" Ali teased.
Seto frowned. "Did you have to use the word small?"
Ali sighed but grinned at him, "Ok, ok. Tiny"
"Next your gonna tell me that im compensating for something" Seto explained.
He looked down to see Aliana grinning at him and about to say something, in order to shut her up; he stuck his hands over her mouth.
"Not a word for you woman"
She looked at him with innocent eyes and laid her head down, not even caring if his hand was still covering her mouth, she placed her hands on his and stroked them.
