Hello all you lovely readers and storytellers out there. It is I, The MAN WITH IMAGINATION! (echos) and today, I give you guys a new chapter that includes love, lust, and something completely random coming into my head. So, enjoy it people. Like it so much, it'll make you tell other people. Enjoy the chapter.
Thanks for the reviews:
white pedal - It was a close call, I know, but I wonder how Tristan will react when he finds out.
Autobot00001 - Well, I don't know. She might have been traumatized from that near raping that Gozaburo almost did to her.
Sunrise Phoenix - If you need a heart transplant, there is a hospital right there or use the one in this jar. And about Atem and Téa, you will see momentarily.
DISCLAIMER!
I OWN NOTHING! I only own the OC's in the story!
Mai drove up into Serenity's driveway and parked her car into the garage. Mai helped Serenity out of the car and brought her inside to put her into something more fitting. Serenity removed the sheet to put on a pink shirt and white shorts.
"Serenity, I think it's best you stay home for a while." said Mai.
"I think that should be a good idea. Until this situation with Gozaburo dies down. I should stay home."
"Alright. I'll tell Tristan that you came home early today. He doesn't have to know the rest until later anyway." Serenity nodded as she laid on her bed to try to rest from all the actions that happened to her. Mai lets her sleep as she leaves the keys to Serenity's car on her dresser. Mai locks the door behind her to the house to make sure that nobody tries to break in.
'Serenity is safe, but now I have to find me a job to fend for me and my man. Gozaburo, wherever you are, I hope you are rotting in a prison cell.' Mai thought to herself as she grabbed a taxi to get her home.
MEANWHILE
It was 3:00 p.m. and Atem was back in his apartment with a few of his boxes left to take to his apartment. Atem knew he was smart to keep his clothes hanging in his closet before moving. One of his friends came back from the moving van to get one of Atem's boxes. It was none other than Tristan himself. Both of them had the day off on their timetables and used their time to help pack the boxes into the moving van.
"So Atem, any plans you have for tonight?" he asked Atem.
"Téa didn't tell her parents that we were getting married. Now I have to go have dinner with them tonight. If things go as fine as they should, I might win them over."
Tristan tries his best to be a good friend for Atem, but he was in the same situation like him. "Atem, I know you can win them over. You just be yourself and you'll be fine. I know it was rough for me having Serenity's parents accept me and Joey seemed okay with me and her being together. If it worked for me, it will work for you too. Show them your love for Téa."
Atem stood up and knew Tristan was right. "Thanks for the encouragement Tristan. I have to show them that I will do whatever it takes to help Téa."
"Yeah. As soon as we get these boxes outta here, you will earn her parents respect."
Atem and Tristan had taken all the boxes that were left from the apartment and brought them to the moving van and drove off to Atem's new home to drop off the last of the boxes before handing over his key. As the guys were almost done moving, Téa was up in her room trying to find a good outfit to wear around her parents and Atem so she can live with him and be with him. She threw various clothes on the floor trying to see what will stand out in her parents eyes.
"Urgh, this is getting hard!" Téa flopped on top of her bed and tried to figure out what to wear. "What can I wear that my parents haven't seen?" Téa checked in the back of her closet and saw a dress that she nobody has seen her wear yet. It was a flowing sparkling pink dress that went down to her lower knees. She tried it on as it actually fits her.
"Yes! I just need to shower up and find something in my jewelry box to match this." Téa did just that as she was about to get ready for the biggest night she and Atem will be in for.
About two hours have passed and Atem and Tristan finally managed to get everything from Atem's apartment and moved it into his new home and unpacked a couple of things to decorate the place. The hardest part was to get the couch inside of the house, but Tristan and Atem managed to get it inside. Atem and Tristan were just sitting on the couch trying to relax.
"Aw man, I'm so exhausted from moving your stuff, Atem. Why do you have so many fragile things?" Tristan was whining so much after he was lugging all the furniture from a second floor apartment to a good, fair house.
"Most of this came from my parents. The certain belongings that they couldn't take care of, they gave it to me." Atem sighed. As he was about to get ready to relax, he looks at the time on his watch and saw it was 5:00 p.m. while he realized something important.
"Oh no!" Atem yelled as Tristan jumped from the couch.
"What? What is it?"
"I have to go get ready. I have to be at Téa's house in an hour for dinner." Atem rushed upstairs towards the bathroom until he stopped midway towards the stairs.
"Tristan, I need you to get all my clothes in my car. Just put them on my couch." Atem tossed Tristan the keys to his car as Atem went straight towards the bathroom to take a quick shower. Tristan was at his car grabbing all of Atem's clothes that were still on hangars as he carried all the clothes into the house and placed them on top of the couch. After fifteen minutes of showering in the cold water Atem had no choice but to endure, he was cleaned up and was in a towel covering his manhood. As he went downstairs, he saw his clothes stacked on the couch neatly. He saw Tristan in the kitchen knowing Atem would come downstairs.
"Thanks Tristan. You have really been a big help with me today." Tristan was still in the kitchen as he heard Atem from there.
"No problem man. Just put on some clothes, please. I don't feel comfortable with you running around in a towel." Tristan said to Atem.
"Oh, right." Atem grabbed his clothes of choice to wear for his dinner date with Téa and her parents and ran upstairs to an empty room to get dressed. Atem wore black dress pants, a white button-down shirt, and a black jacket. Atem walked back downstairs looking great. Tristan saw Atem with clothes on as he walked out of the kitchen.
"You look great Atem."
"Thanks, I just hope that Téa's parents think that too." Atem put on his cologne and deodorant as he rushed straight out the door with his key to the house. Tristan came from behind as he told Atem he was heading home.
MEANWHILE AGAIN
Téa had on her pink dress as she was still doing her makeup to get ready for their dinner date. She was putting on her lipstick, put on her earrings, doing her hair, and curling her eyelashes. She and Atem really wanted this to go perfectly. She saw the time on her clock that it was about to be 6:00. Téa got a text from her phone from Atem letting her know he was downstairs in front of her house. But, what both of them didn't know was there was an uninvited guest from outside the house, Marik's little spy, Souza.
"Okay, she's heading downstairs. And her boyfriend arrived just now."
"Excellent. Just get as much dirt as you can on them. I have an idea that will make them both squirm." Marik wanted to make sure Souza could get many secrets out of Atem and Téa as possible without being caught.
Right on cue, Atem was outside of the house. Atem was all set and prepared for what's to come. Atem took a deep breath and exhaled as he exited his car and walked towards Téa's house. He rang the doorbell to wait for someone to answer the door. The door opens up to show Téa's mother at the door wearing a floral dress and her long brown hair in a ponytail.
"Hi there. You must be Atem."
"Yes, I am. You must be Téa's mother, am I right?"
"Yes. My name is Sylvia. Come in, Téa will be right down. Just wait here until she comes down." As she went to go get her husband, Téa came down the stairs carefully as she was wearing heels. Atem looked up and saw how beautiful she looked in her dress. Atem felt the world stopping for a second to watch his fiancé come down the stairs. She came down and stopped in front of Atem.
"Téa, you look so beautiful tonight." Atem held her hand and kissed it as Téa felt goosebumps up and down her spine.
"You don't look too bad yourself, Atem." Atem held her close to her as both their hands became intertwined, but they knew that tonight was important to them both. Atem let go of her as he knew Téa's parents were going to be a tough nut to crack.
"I better go check on my parents." But as Téa was about to do so, her parents walked in. Atem had to keep a serious face just to earn their trust.
"Hello, you must be Atem. I am Téa's father, Alex. It's nice to meet you." Atem saw Alex extend his hand towards him as he gladly took it and accepted the handshake.
"It's an honor to meet you too, sir." Alex saw Atem on how he dressed, how he looks, but he is still not convinced he is the right person for his daughter.
"Let's eat, shall we?" Sylvia moved their conversation to the kitchen as Atem wanted to know more about Alex and Sylvia a little more as Alex wanted to know more about him. Alex grabbed her daughter's arm and whispered in her ear.
"Téa, I don't know if I could trust him."
"Dad come on. Give him a chance. He's trying his best to impress you." Téa wanted to tell her father about their marriage, but decided to wait a little longer to tell them.
"Okay Atem, we are having rice balls and fugosushimi, the rare Japanese poisonous blowfish." Sylvia is known to be a great cook, even though nobody ever saw her cook. But, she cooks instant meals for Téa if she was left alone in the house. Sylvia served the food to her family and Atem as they thanked her for the food. As they were eating their meals, Alex started making conversation with Atem.
"So Atem, tell us about yourself." Atem held onto Téa's hand under the table as he started to talk about himself.
"Okay. Well, I am 21-years old, I like to play card games a lot, and I am madly in love with your daughter." Not the kind of information Alex wanted to hear, but he was trying. Téa then spoke up to help him out.
"Dad, Atem is a great guy. He even works at Kaiba Corp. downtown as Kaiba's secretary." Téa saved him on that, but Alex still wanted to see proof that Atem is the right guy.
"Mr. Gardner, I actually work at Kaiba Corp. and I get paid good money just to help out Kaiba. However, I do come from a wealthy family residing in Egypt. My parents moved back there when I managed to afford a place of my own and I have also been helping Téa. I take her out to the best places out there. So, if you don't like what you see, that's fine. But, I love Téa for who she is and she loves me for the same reason."
Atem held Téa's hand in front of Alex and he was convinced enough to see these two in love, but Alex still had one more trick up his sleeve.
"You have convinced me, but I want to see you kiss." Alex had a determined look on his face seeing if his own daughter would be lying to him.
"Honey, please. Is that really necessary?" Sylvia protested.
"I want to see if this is true love." Téa saw the look in his eye and she wanted to prove her father wrong. She grabbed Atem's collar and threw him into a deep kiss in front of her parents. Atem returned the kiss and wrapped his arms around Téa's waist. They had put in so much passion into that kiss, Alex saw something glittering on Téa's finger when he didn't notice it at first.
"Téa, is that a ring on your finger?" Atem and Téa ended their kiss as Téa spoke up.
"Yes Dad. Atem gave me this ring. Him and I are planning to get married."
Alex was now at that point he was upset hearing that his own daughter was getting married to someone who he barely knows, but Sylvia was in shock hearing this and she was proud. Alex just slammed his hands on the table when hearing those words.
"NO! FLAT FUCKING NO!" Alex was steaming when he saw what was happening in his own home.
"But Daddy, I love him!" Téa cried.
"Out of the question. Nobody is getting married." Alex was breaking his own daughter's heart. Téa rushed upstairs into her room in tears. Atem followed her from behind.
"Téa wait!" Alex saw Atem run after her as Alex made a huge mess of things for this dinner. Sylvia stood up and spoke up.
"I hope you're happy Alex. You broke our daughter's heart." She stormed out of the kitchen as she went upstairs to check on the couple as Alex was all alone in the kitchen left to do the dishes.
"URGH! What is wrong with me?!" Alex had to calm down to try and think and let these events sink into his head.
Okay, that was a HUGE cliffhanger that I left for you guys. I hope this makes up for all the VanishShipping I barely put in. So, I hope you enjoyed this chapter because this will continue next chapter. Why is Téa's father being so hard-headed? And how will they be able to cope with the situation they just put themselves in? We gotta find out in the next episode. Until then, leave your reviews and I will be back for the conclusion to this dinner fest. See You Next Time!
