"Ding-Dong"
"Ding-Dong"
'Damn, how long does it take for that blasted woman to open up the damn door? Is she deaf or something?' Seto was waiting for Mai to open up the door to her apartment. She was an hour late so he decided to come by and see what the problem was. Seto didn't like to wait and being patient was one of the few if any skills he lacked. Normally he wouldn't even come by to pick up one of his workers. He would just fire them immediately if they ever dared to be late on the first day. But something about the way Mai had looked the other night, when she thought she was not going to get the job, made him come and get her. His McLaren was parked right in front of the house and Mokuba sat in the passenger seat.
"Seto, how much longer will this take, I have to go use the bathroom!" the boy whined, wiggling in his seat.
"Just a little while longer Mokuba, It won't take that long" Kaiba shouted from the main door.
"You said that 30 minutes ago" Mokuba protested as he folded his arms over his chest.
"You're exaggerating, and when Mai comes to open the door you can ask her to use her bathroom."
7:10am
Mai's eyes slowly opened up as she turned over on the bed. She slowly got up and let a small yawn escape her lips. Making her way to the bathroom, she brushed her teeth and gargled. Mai smiled at her reflection in the mirror and then turned towards the shower.
'Why do I always feel so lazy waking up in the morning, I can't even imagine when I start working' Mai thought as she turned on the shower. Then it hit her. "WORK!" Mai screamed as she lost her balance and fell in the tub. She quickly got back up and turned on the water trying to take a quick shower. Do to her rushing; she accidentally turned on the cold water.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh" Mai screamed as she tried to turn the knob off. Her hand got grip of the pipe and slowed down the cold water and turned on the hot water a little bit. 'Come on Mai, got to hurry or else that stuck up, arrogant jerk is going to down my throat.'
Mai hurriedly finished up taking her bath and she started to get dressed.
7:20am
Kaiba paced back and forth waiting for Mai to come out. 'What in hell is taking her so long? She's already an hour and twenty minutes late, what else could be holding her up?' Seto clenched his fists and closed his eyes. 'Anger is not the solution to this problem right now' he reminded himself. "When I get my hands on her..." Seto mumbled curse after curse trying hard to restrain himself from breaking down the door.
7:26am
Mai finished dressing and looked at herself in a mirror. She wore a baby blue jean miniskirt and a white top. She also wore a blue jean jacket that finished off the top part of her outfit. Mai blew a kiss towards herself in the mirror and then turned to face her room where all her stuff was packed except for furniture. She walked up to a brown bag that was filled with shoes and started to dig through it.
She was looking for her favorite pair of heels that would go perfectly with her outfit. She stopped digging through her bag a few minutes later and started looking around the apartment. She checked in the kitchen, living room, and in the dining room but her shoes were nowhere to be found.
"Come on, where are they" Mai hoping that they would just call out to her. She then decided to look under her bed. She got down on both of her knees and poked her head under said item. She couldn't see a thing since it was so dark under the bed and so she pushed herself deeper into the bed's clutches. Mai's body was now split in two. Half of her body from head to waist was under the bead and from hips to toe was out.
'What a stupid idea, there's nothing under here.' Content with her search Mai tried to pull herself out from under the bed but failed. She wiggled and turned but she couldn't get free.
'Oh great, it just got worse. And it's so dark down here, and I'm all alone.' Mai's mind began to race as she thought of numerous scary situations such as her being stuck under the bed forever. Mai started to panic and screamed. She screamed again louder than before hoping that someone could hear her
7:35am
Outside, Seto leaned against the doorway with his hands crossed and eyes closed. He was still mumbling curses under his breath, though softly not to let Mokuba hear.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh"
Seto's eyes snapped opened and turned to face Mokuba. "You heard that kiddo?"
"Yeah Seto, sounds like it's coming from inside the house!" Mokuba looked up at the apartment and saw that the fourth floor light was on. "It's coming from the 4th floor Seto" Mokuba chirped.
"Alright Mokuba. Look in the glove handle of the car, there's my pocketknife in there, can you get it for me and stay in the car." Mokuba nodded and looked in the glove department of the car. After finding the knife he turned around and threw the pocketknife to Seto. He caught it by the hilt and ran up to the main door of the apartment and started to pick the lock. A few seconds later the lock gave away and the door opened.
'I should have done that a long time ago.' Seto headed up the stairs to where the sound was coming from the loudest. He halted when he reached the 4th floor and started to pick the lock. The cry of help was coming from that door the loudest so he was sure that the person who was screaming was on this floor.
He entered the room quietly and looked around. He was in the dining room. There were three other doors inside the dining room and Seto listened to hear where the noise was coming from the loudest. He heard sounds of struggle towards the door nearest to the right and headed there. The closer he got the louder the sounds were. He placed his hands on the doorknob and slowly turned the door.
When Kaiba opened the door he was dumbfounded. He could hardly hold back the smirk that was gracing his lips. He chuckled as he stared at Mai. She was stuck under her own bed struggling and pushing herself outwards to be free from the bed's grasp but to no luck.
Seto knew damn well she was stuck under the bed but acted like he didn't see her and strolled onto the bed and sat down. "Where in hell is that horrendous noise coming from?"
By the sound of her rescuer, Mai could tell who it was. Mr. Almighty himself, Seto Kaiba. His smooth voice sent chills down her spine as she shivered. How could be so arrogant and cold was beyond her.
"Shut Up! You already know where it's coming from so don't act stupid." Mai continued struggled underneath him as Seto looked down on her. All he could see was her waist to her toes as her legs were wildly swinging back forth.
"There it is again. I wonder who it could be," Seto said innocently looking around the room. "Man my legs are tired from running up all those stairs. I think I'll rest my legs on this footrest." Seto lifted his legs and placed them on Mai's back. "Wow its soft."
"Stop playing you bastard and help me up!" Mai screamed. She was wiggling more vigorously now under the bed.
"Oh Mai, I didn't know you were down there" Seto faked.
"Stop playing around. Get your arrogant ass over here and help me get out under this thing."
"Why should I? If I remember correctly I am your boss. I don't take orders from anyone."
"I'll do anything. Please help already." Mai begged as she started to whimper.
One thing Seto couldn't stand was someone crying. He hated it when Mokuba cried and if Mai would start to cry too then it would be annoying. "Fine hold on."
"Thank you so much, I owe you one big time." Mai answered, as she was instantly happy again. She reminded Seto of Mokuba a little. All you have to do is give them what they want and they'll stop bothering you. Even though, Mokuba would never be able to bother him.
He walked up behind Mai and knelt down. He placed a firm hand on her hips and gave a slight tug from behind. With that Mai was free of the bed's grasp. She was over delighted that she was free that she grabbed hold of Seto and embraced him in a tight hug. Seto froze. He couldn't move. He was not used to people touching him. It just felt… wrong? Was that it? Did it really feel wrong?
"G-G-Get off of me." He tried to pull Mai loose but it was too late.
"Seto what took you…" Mokuba stopped in his tracks as he saw Mai tightly wrapped around Seto.
Mai raised her head and stared blankly at Mokuba. She had no idea what she had just done. She had just become the first person to hug Kaiba other than Mokuba. However she didn't see the feat as impressive. To her, hugging another person was just a form of thanks or hello, like normal people. In Kaiba land however, it was a violation. He was not to be touched. He briskly pushed Mai away from him and walked towards the door.
"We should get going. Get your stuff Mai, were already 2 hours late."
"Hold on I have to find my heels." Mai whined.
"Well then hustle up, time waits for no one."
8:00am
Mai found her heels and brought her stuff downstairs to put them in Seto's McLaren. Kaiba sat in the driver's seat with Mokuba by his side.
"Okay, so where am I going to sit?" Mai asked as she saw that the McLaren only had two seats and there were three of them.
"Well you're going to have to sit in the trunk" Seto said seriously.
Mai laughed at first but stopped when she saw that Kaiba wasn't laughing. 'Not like he ever does anyway.' "You must be joking right?"
"Does it look like I'm joking or am I always this happy?" Seto asked rhetorically. Mai glared at Kaiba and he just simply stared at her.
"Mai can sit in the front and I can sit on her lap Seto!" Mokuba chirped.
"That's a great idea Mokuba" Mai proclaimed. Mokuba got out of the passenger seat to let Mai sit in first. Mokuba then came back inside and sat on Mai's lap. He closed the doors they were off.
Mai pressed her hands against the leather interior and leaned back in the seat. "Nice interior. At least you have some sort of style."
"Whatever…" Kaiba mumbled.
'It's going to be a long ride.'
