Sighing from relaxation Evelyn sat in her steamy bubble bath after a long day at work. She had the place to herself tonight since Seto had to work. She jumped hearing her phone ring.
"Speak of the devil," She said to herself smiling and reached over answering her cell phone. "Hello Mr. CEO." She teased.
"Sorry that I've called you this late tonight," Seto said softly.
"It's alright, your busy," She said smiling. "How is everything?"
"Busy, I have ton of meetings this week. So I'm sorry but I can't take you to work tomorrow," Seto said feeling bad. He had been taking Evelyn to her night job at the bar and had been picking her up for the past 2 months.
"Its alright, its suppose to be nice out tomorrow. I can walk." Evelyn said softly, "To bad your busy I'm all alone in this hot, steamy, bath…" she said giggling when she heard him make a groaning noise.
"Your such a tease, I'm so busy other wise I would be there in no time flat," Seto said. "It'll just have to wait till another time."
"Just tell me when and I'll have the water running," Evelyn said smiling "well get back to work, I have to close tomorrow night anyway."
"I'll talk to you soon Evelyn," Seto said softly. He hated saying good-bye, and he noticed that it was getting harder and harder to say it to her…
The next night came and so did work. Evelyn was glad that it was nice out since she had to walk. The evening went by with no major hiccups, and with some nice tips that night she didn't mind having to close that night.
"Evelyn, would you mind if I closed tonight? I'm going on vacation next week and want to pick up a few extra hours," her co-worker Ashley asked.
"No problem, I don't have to stay till three in the morning tonight," Evelyn said smiling. "Its all yours tonight." She said getting ready to leave. "This is my lucky night, I can go home early."
She sighed when she went out side. It had started raining since she had been at work. "Well, a little rain never hurt anyone." She said to herself as she started heading home. Soaked and about half way home was when she started having the feeling of being followed. Finally she looked behind her and saw three men.
"Look here guys, this beauty is all wet, alone, and cold. I think we should warm her up," One of the men said with creepy grin.
"Leave me alone," Evelyn said as she started walking again. She gasped when another man got in front of her.
"What's your hurry, we just wanna have a little fun," He said grabbing her arm. Not hesitating she punched the guy and struggled to get away from the other men. She shrugged out of her jacket that they had a strong grip on and started running for her life. The men raced after her shaking off her punch.
Hurrying down the street blindly she came across a brick wall with strong vines on its side. Quickly she climbed the wall before the men got to the corner and she jumped down into a rose bush to get away. She stayed silent as the men ran by and kept going.
"Who's out there?!" Someone called out. The voice sounded young.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trespass on your property," She said panting as she carefully got out of the thorny rose bush.
"Evelyn?"
"Mokuba?" She asked recognizing the voice. She hurried over to the younger of the Kaiba's and collapsed to her knees.
"Evelyn are you alright? What happened?" He asked helping her into the mansion.
"I was being chased. I had left work…" She said panting and shaking.
"I'll call the police. Lets get you inside," Mokuba said as he helped in side. He called their housekeeper Mrs. Booth. "Can you take her to get cleaned up and bandaged?" Mokuba asked.
"Yes Mokuba," Mrs. Booth said and led Evelyn too the guest room till the police arrived.
Finally finishing his meetings Seto was done early and made his way to the bar to surprise Evelyn. When he got there he saw her co-worker coming out.
"Excuse me, is Evelyn still here?" He asked the girl.
"Oh, she went home a few hours ago, I closed for her," Ashley said softly.
"Oh, thank you." Seto said before getting in his car and drove to her small apartment. –No lights are on; maybe she's a sleep. - Seto thought and headed home. As he arrived home as the police were just leaving his house.
"Oh god." He said hurrying inside "Mokuba?!' He called out panicked.
"Over here Seto," Mokuba said sitting in the living room.
"What happened why were police here?" he asked worriedly.
"Three guys had chased Evelyn wanting to hurt her. She climbed into our backyard to escape. She just told them what had happened. She's in one of the guest rooms." Mokuba said.
Seto nodded to his brother and hurried upstairs as Mrs. Booth left the guest room. "Mr. Kaiba." She said politely. "Young Evelyn is in the shower cleaning up."
"Thank you Mrs. Booth, you've been a big help," He said and continued "Thank you for everything over the years… I know I don't say that enough."
"Seto, you and Mokuba are like sons to me and I've watched both of you grow into mature young men. However I must say, I've heard laughter and seen smiles return to this mansion…and I think it has to do with young Evelyn," She said smiling "Tell her how you feel, don't let someone you love disappear from your life." She said before heading back down stairs.
Seto smiled watching Mrs. Booth go down stairs. "She's right." He said softly. He went into the guest room as Evelyn came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.
"Oh, Seto when did you get home?" She asked looking up seeing him coming in.
"I got in a little while ago…I heard what happened, are you alright?" He asked worriedly.
"I'm alright, just scratched up," She said, as she got dressed into the clothes Mrs. Booth left out for her.
"I'm sorry, if I had gotten to your job sooner…" Seto said looking down.
"Its not your fault, no one could've predicted what happened tonight," She said softly. She gasped when Seto pulled her into his arms.
"I don't know what I would've done if you were hurt…or worse," Seto said softly.
"Its ok Seto…" She said as she felt her heart start racing. –What is he doing...- she thought.
"Evelyn…I know that we said we weren't going to let our emotions take over…" Seto said pulling away from her so that he could look in her eyes. " But I can't pretend anymore…I love you Evelyn.."
