Hey guys! So this story has been pretty inactive for a while, and I apologize to those who have been waiting for an update. My other stories have been getting a lot of my attention, especially my newest story. It's my very first collab story and it's with the lovely DarkQueenofDuels who is the author of That Stabbing Feeling, as well as Our Broken Chains. I'd definitely recommend reading her stories 'cause they're fantastic. Anyhoo, a little more about our collab, it can be found on a collab profile called Sakura and Alissa and it is called A Step Too Far. Even more exciting is that the story includes BOTH of our OCs (Sakura and Alissa) and BOTH of them are paired with Seto in our own stories, so the drama sure will be plentiful…Anyhoo, now that the shameless plug is over, read on and enjoy!

Alissa eyed herself in the mirror and turned from side to side. She smoothed her hands down the fabric of her indigo, floor length evening gown and smiled. I really love this dress. The dress was a sheath style dress and a deep indigo color. The straps were thin and tiny sequins littered the heart shaped bodice.

"Hey, Seto! Are you almost ready to go?" she called down the hall as she reached for a pair of diamond earrings. "We'll be late."

"My employees can wait," Seto responded from his office down the hall. "If they had done their jobs right in the first place, I wouldn't have to spend time rewriting lines of coding."

"But I'm hungry," she whined as she walked down the hall and into his office. "Aren't there going to be sponsors there too? We shouldn't keep them waiting."

"Hmph, they can wait for as long as I need them to." He finally glanced up from his computer screen and gave her a once over. "Hm, that dress suits you."

"Thanks. You're looking good yourself. You look hot as fuck in that suit. I think I like it even better than the white one and you know how much I love the white one. God, I kind of just want to blow of the banquet all together so we can stay home and have wild crazy sex all night long."

"I hope you aren't planning on being this vulgar at the banquet. I don't think my sponsors would enjoy your sense of humor."

"Too bad for them because I'm pretty fucking hilarious."

"If you keep talking we'll never leave."

"Okay, okay I get it. I'll shut up now."

She sat down on the couch in his office and watched him work. A couple minutes later, a small ping rang through the room.

"My phone is on the table next to the coffee machine," he replied, his fingers never pausing in their race across the keyboard.

"Okay. Thanks for telling me."

"Hand it to me."

"What? Why can't you get it? It's your phone."

"Do you want to leave or not, Alissa?"

"Okay, fine." She grabbed his phone from the table and noticed that he had a new text message from Mokuba. "It's from your brother."

"I believe I asked you to hand me my phone. I don't recall giving you permission to look at it."

She rolled her eyes. They had been dating for four years and he was still so private sometimes. It wasn't like she had unlocked and gone through his phone.

"Okay, okay. Jeez, sorry. It's not like it's your work phone. It's your personal phone, there's nothing on there anyway."

"Just give me my phone."

She handed him his cellphone and he quickly unlocked it, read the message, and replied.

"Is everything okay with Mokuba?"

"Yes, he just wanted to let us know that he's arrived at the banquet. I suppose we should leave the." He paused to hand her his personal cellphone. "Return this to where you found it." Jeez, bossy, she thought.

"A simple 'please' wouldn't hurt," she grumbled as she grabbed his phone to return it to its place. The phone was sleek and nearly weightless in her hand. The phone was only two months old and was devoid of any scratches. She glanced down briefly to see what time it was and froze. She had expected to see the factory, navy background that came with the phone, but instead saw something completely different. There on his lock screen of his phone, was the selfie she had taken unbeknownst to him the first week he had gotten the new phone. Apparently the selfie wasn't as unbeknownst as she thought. In the picture she was smiling cheekily at the camera and holding up a cheesy peace sign. Oh my God, I'm his lock screen, she thought. She felt a light blush rise to her cheeks and a smile formed on her face.

"What are you doing, Alissa? Stop fooling around and put my phone back so we can leave."

"Oh my God."

"What? Why are you blushing?"

"Because of this!" she squealed, thrusting the phone into his face.

"My cellphone. What about it?"

She squealed internally. Not only had he set a picture of her as his lock screen, but now he was acting as if it was the most normal thing to have as the background of your phone. Him, the stoic CEO who hardly ever even held hands in public.

"It's me."

His brows furrowed in confusion as he watched his girlfriend reel in front of him. What the hell was wrong with her?

"Yes, I'm still not seeing the point."

"It's me. On your lock screen. Me."

"Thanks for reiterating that. Are you feeling alright? It's just a picture."

That fucking did it. The Seto Kaiba had just performed one of the most ultimate acts of couple hood and he didn't even realize it.

Without another word, Alissa launched herself into his arms and attached her lips to his in a fierce kiss. He braced one hand against the desk behind him to prevent himself from falling from the powerful hug and wrapped the other arm around her waist. He wasn't really sure what he did to make her act like this, but he sure wasn't complaining.

So there's the next chapter! To be honest, I originally had a completely different idea for this theme in mind, but then I got this idea and liked it more than the other. Also, I'm sorry that this one was kind of short, but I feel like extending it further would have been plain, boring filler. Hopefully ya'll enjoyed this despite the wait and I'll talk to ya'll soon!
