Now before I start this chapter, I just want to say that there will NOTbe two chapters left. I had thought up some new ideas so instead, there will be four chapters left, including this one.

Summary: He had all of the fame and fortune in the world, but all he wanted was someone that would treat him like he was normal as anyone else. He might get his wish when he meets a cafe waitress who is having problems of her own. Will they be able to help each other?

Chapter 13

After Atem and Tea broke their kiss to breath for air, Atem brought Tea into his chest to give her an affectionate hug while getting her calmed down from the experience that just went down. He noticed for a second that the authorities came inside and arrested Rachel and Renku taking them outside to where the police cruisers were sitting. He looked back down at Tea when she was moving her head up to look back at him with tears still in her eyes.

"I thought I lost you there, that was the most horrifying thing in my life." she said. Atem's heart was breaking when he saw how afraid Tea was. He lifted his hand to wipe away the new tears that were rolling down her face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you scared like that but I also couldn't let you get shot. Are you okay?" he asked. Tea nodded.

"I'm fine, but the next time you decide to take a bullet again, make sure that I be told ahead of time." Atem chuckled and rubbed her cheek gently to soothe her worries.

"Okay, I promise. C'mon, let's get out of here, I don't want to be in this place for one more minute." he said as they both stood up from the floor. Atem kept Tea close to him while walking on outside. The sky had turned dark indicating that it was much later than they thought. On the way, they found Akiyoshi talking to a couple of officers. When he turned around to see them, he excused himself from the police and walked over to them.

"Are you two alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, we're a little ruffled, but we're just fine. How did you find us anyway?" Atem said.

"I had one of my investigators follow you home and make sure that everything was okay. When you got inside, he noticed that you had looked worried when you rushed into the house so he waited a while to see what would happen. He called me when he saw you come back out with Rachel and drive off in your car. While that was going on, I had called the authorities when I got word that you were in an abandoned warehouse. I'm just glad to see that the both of you weren't hurt in this terrible situation." he said.

"Thank-you for your help, I'm relieved that all of this is finally over." said Atem. The three of them turned toward the entrance of the warehouse to see the police bringing out Rachel and a limping Renku. Rachel was screeching at the top of her lungs telling the police to release her before she had them all sued by her father. She lifted her head to see just who she was looking for and gave out a smirk knowing that she and Renku were going to be off the hook.

"Daddy, I'm so glad you're here. Now you can tell these idiots to let us go." she said as she turned her head to glare at the officer who had a firm grip on her arm. Akiyoshi just stood there with his arms crossed while giving his daughter a blank stare.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that." Rachel and Renku had a wide-eyed expression as they heard what Akiyoshi said.

"What do you mean you can't?! You have the power to do to tell anyone what you want them to do. So stop kidding around Daddy and tell them to take these handcuffs off of us!" Rachel screeched.

"It's out of my hands, you two have done nothing but caused problems. You went behind my back and threaten lives in the process. So because of that, you're getting exactly what you deserve." he said. Rachel had a murderous glare and before she could say anything, she was pushed forward by the officers. Renku took a glance at Tea and made sure he left a glare for her to remember in her mind before he was hauled away with his cousin. Tea didn't miss the look Renku gave to her and it made her shiver in fear. Suddenly, she started to feel lightheaded and placed her hand on her forehead as she started to sway and lose her balance. Atem saw this and caught her before she collapsed on the ground.

"Tea, are you okay?" he asked concerned. Tea nodded slowly.

"Yeah, I guess I'm just a little dizzy from the chloroform." she said. Atem helped her to stand and placed his arm around her to keep her steady.

"Take Tea over to the ambulance truck to get her some oxygen Atem, I have to head on down to the station and find out what's going to happen with Rachel and Renku. As soon as I get some news, I'll give you a call." Akiyoshi said.

"Alright, and thank-you for everything Akiyoshi." Atem said.

"You're welcome, you two take care of yourselves." he said. Akiyoshi walked over to one of the officers leaving Atem and Tea alone. Atem led Tea over to the paramedics so she could get some oxygen. They placed the breathing mask on her face and she took a couple of deep breaths to clear out the chloroform that was still clouding her lungs. She was leaning her head on Atem's shoulder as he was watching her. After a few minutes, the mask was taken off of Tea's face and she was feeling a little better, but she was still showing signs of dizziness. The paramedics told her to get proper rest and to take it easy for a few days. Atem led Tea over to his car and opened the door for her to get inside. Once he was situated in the driver seat, he started the car and drove away from the warehouse leaving behind the bad events that were experienced tonight. It was quiet during the car ride home and when they arrived, the both of them still thinking about everything that went down. Atem opened the door for them to walk inside. Tea went into the kitchen and noticed she left the food she was suppose to be preparing for Atem and herself on the counter. So she took the initiative to put it away since it was too late to cook anything. Atem followed her and saw her putting the food back into the refrigerator. He walked over to place a hand on her shoulder to stop what she was doing. Tea looked up to him after she put the last thing away and she gave out a tired sigh.

"So much for a nice, quiet evening at home." she said. Atem wrapped his arms around her to embrace her.

"I know, I'll make it up to you." Tea pulled out of Atem's arms while lowering her head.

"I'm going to take a shower and then head on to bed." She started to walk upstairs, but was stopped by Atem who took a hold of her wrist and pulled her back to him. He leaned down to place a kiss on her lips and she automatically kissed him back as she wrapped her arms around his neck to bring him closer to her. After a minute, they broke apart catching their breath.

"I needed that." Tea whispered. Atem smiled and gave her one more kiss.

"I'll be upstairs in a few, I just have to make sure everything is secured." Tea nodded and slowly walked up the steps. She went into the bathroom and undressed herself. Turning on the shower to the right temperature, she stepped inside and let the water cascade down onto her body. She lathered herself making sure that her body was clean. After washing her hair, she turned off the water and grabbed a towel to wrap around her as she walked into the bedroom. She put on a black long sleeve shirt with gray lounge pants and got into bed laying her head down on the pillow while she waited for Atem to join her. Tea heard the shower running and knew that he was going to be coming to bed soon. She tried to keep her eyes open while she waited for him, but she was just so tired, that without even knowing it, she closed her eyes letting sleep take over. Atem walked into the room wearing a white shirt and black pajama pants as he dried his wet hair with a towel. When he placed it in the laundry basket, he went over to lay next to Tea and saw that she was already asleep. Gently, without waking her, he placed his arm around her waist to bring her closer to him and drift off to sleep. About an hour of sleeping, Atem was awaken by his phone on the night table and sat up to answer it. He turned next to him to see Tea still asleep and spoke softly so he wouldn't disturb her.

"Hello?" he said.

"Atem, it's Akiyoshi, I'm sorry to call so late."

"No, it's alright. What's going on?"

"I thought you wanted an update on what was going on with Rachel and Renku. They're both in a holding cell and will be kept here until their trial date."

"And when will that be?"

"The trial will be held in about a day and I hired a lawyer to represent you and Tea."

"Does this mean that Tea will have to testify?"

"If it means sending the both of them away for a long time, then that's exactly what she has to do." Atem gave out a sigh.

"Alright, I'll talk to her about what's happening, thanks for letting me know Akiyoshi."

"Anytime, I will see you and Tea at the trial."

"Okay, goodbye." Atem said as he hung up the phone. He placed it back on the night table and laid back down on is pillow not realizing that Tea was awake next to him and was listening to the one way conversation he had with Akiyoshi. She felt Atem wrap his arm around her waist again as he snuggled closer to her, but he realized the her breathing wasn't even and saw that she was awake.

"I'm sorry, I didn't wake you, did I?" he asked. Tea shook her head and turned around to face him.

"No, I was already awake from the phone." Atem blinked a few times before he sat up to lean on his elbow and look down to her while moving a few strands of her hair behind her ear.

"So, I'm guessing you heard me talking then." he said. Tea nodded.

"Yeah, I did."

"You know, it's okay if you don't want to testify. It's up to you whether you decide to or not."

"You know I have to do this and you're right I don't want to testify because I don't want to face them, but if it means putting them in prison, then I will do whatever it takes to make sure they get what they deserve." she said. Atem leaned down and kissed Tea on her forehead before laying his head back down on the pillow next to her. For a few minutes it was just silence as Atem slid his thumb over her cheek a couple of times while staring at her. Tea had her eyes closed enjoying the way he caressed her face.

"You're very brave, you know that?" Tea opened her eyes when Atem broke the silence and gave out a sigh.

"No, I'm not. I'm anything, but brave." she said.

"Yes you are, you know not many people in your position would willing to testify and put away two criminals. If you need a little support, you know I'll be right next to you." he said as he gave her hand a small squeeze.

"Thanks, I was hoping you would say that." Atem smiled and kissed her before they both closed their eyes and let sleep take the both of them over.

It was about a day later and the trial was set in motion for Rachel and Renku. They were sitting on the left side of the courtroom with their defense attorney and in the right side was the prosecutor talking with Akiyoshi, Tea and Atem about the testimony that Tea will be making to put Rachel and Renku behind bars. It was ten minutes later when the bailiff came in and announced that the judge was entering the courtroom.

"All rise." he said. Everyone inside stood up from their seats as the judge entered and took his seat.

"Please be seated." he said as he opened the case folder and read inside.

"The case regards Rachel Ookami and Renku Ookami, both charged with attempted murder, breaking/entering, and kidnapping. Councilors please start." the judge said waiting for them to speak. The defense attorney representing Rachel and Renku stood up first.

"My clients, Rachel and Renku are your average, everyday people. They make mistakes, which everyone in this courtroom makes also and they want to be with that special significant other just like anyone else in this room. They're charged with ridicule accusations, but the most is attempted murder. I ask you, do these two look like someone who would hurt a human being? There is no proof of them being caught doing any criminal acts in the three months. Should they be punished for a crime that wasn't even made by them? You decide, thank-you." he finished and sat down next to Rachel. She and Renku were showing a triumphant smirk on their faces thinking they had the case in the bag, but they forget that the prosecutor had to speak next. She stood up from her seat and stood in front of the courtroom with her arms behind her back.

"Rachel and Renku are indeed everyday people, true, but does and average, everyday person go around and purposely try and kill an innocent human being? They are being charged for attempted murder for one reason and one reason only. Three months ago, a tragic explosion took place which almost cost a woman's life and the bomb was planted by none other than the two people who are being accused today. Why you may ask? All because of jealousy and obsession to have power. Two nights ago, they were seen again, only this time they broke into a man's house and kidnapped the same woman who was almost killed in the bombing. If they are freed from this courtroom today, who's to say that they won't do the same thing again to another person? Renku and Rachel should be punished for the crimes they have committed. Thank-you. " She looked over to Tea who had her head bowed down and Atem was doing his best to comfort her by placing his arm around her and holding onto her hand as she took her seat again. The judge was writing his notes down and looked up after he was finished.

"Does the prosecutor have a witness?" he asked.

"Yes Your Honor, I would like to call Tea Gardner to the stand." she said. Tea looked at Atem next to her and he gave her a smile telling her that it would be alright. She stood up from her seat and walked over to the stand. The bailiff came in front of her and did the usual procedure whenever a witness is called to the stand.

"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?" he asked. Tea nodded and responded.

"I do." she said as she sat down in her seat. The prosecutor that was representing her came over to her.

"Ms. Gardner, are you familiar with Rachel and Renku?"

"Yes, I was in a relationship with Renku for about six months. I didn't meet Rachel until two days after I met my boyfriend Atem."

"So if you don't mind me asking, what made you break up with Renku now?" The defense attorney interrupted.

"Objection Your Honor, what does this have to do with the case?" he asked.

"Sustained, I would like to hear Ms. Gardner's reason." said the judge. When the courtroom was quiet, Tea continued.

"I broke up with Renku because I found him cheating on me when I arrived home early from work for our anniversary. Not only that, he was seeing the same woman throughout our entire relationship." The prosecutor nodded as she walked around a little.

"And where were you working at the time?"

"I was a waitress at a small cafe called the Shining Star."

"What about Rachel?"

"When I first met her, she claimed that she was Atem's fiancee and tried everything she could to try and get me out of the way."

"Tell me about the day of the explosion. It was taken place at the same cafe that you worked in, correct?"

"Yes, I was cleaning a few tables before I got ready to leave. As I was finishing up, I went to get my things and meet my friends outside so I could lock up for the night. Just when I was about to leave, I saw two figures standing out in front of the window like they were waiting for something and right when I found out who they were, the doorway to the kitchen exploded and everything went dark after that. I was hospitalized for about two weeks and during that time, I couldn't remember certain parts of the explosion like who I saw that night, but I would have flashes come to me."

"Were you able to remember who caused the explosion?" the prosecutor asked.

"Yes, I was." Tea said.

"Could you point out the ones responsible for this?" Tea was quiet for a few seconds and she looked over to Rachel and Renku who were showing nothing but murderous glares to her. She slowly lifted her hand and pointed to the both of them. The prosecutor nodded her head.

"No further questions Your Honor." she said as she walked back over to sit down. Next, the defense attorney stood up and walked over to question Tea.

"Ms. Gardner, you said you had no memory of what happened the night of the explosion. So how can you be sure that it was my clients you saw?" he asked.

"I know it was them I saw that night. The flashes I was having were becoming more frequent as I was getting stronger." she said not liking where he was going with this.

"Oh, you were having 'flashes'. Are you sure you weren't just jealous and were tried to get revenge on my clients?" he asked with a smirk. The prosecutor stood up form her seat in anger.

"Objection Your Honor, he's pressuring answers out of the witness that have nothing to do with this case." she said.

"Overruled, councilor please get to the point or I will be forced to have you seated." said the judge. Tea looked up at the judge.

"No Your Honor, I don't mind answering his question. First of all, ever since I have been with my boyfriend, Rachel and Renku have done nothing but caused trouble for me and Atem. There was nothing for me to be jealous over because my relationship with Atem at first was on a friendship level. As it grew, they felt more determined than ever to try and break us apart. Renku had even hired some guys to hurt Atem so he would have an opportunity to come after me. Rachel bribed me with ten thousand dollars to make me stop seeing Atem which I automatically refused. So if anyone is jealous in this situation, check with your clients first before you accuse someone else of such a thing." Tea said as she glared at him. The defense attorney was quiet for a few minutes as he slowly turned around to go back to his seat.

"No further questions." he said as he sat back down next to Rachel. The judge turned to Tea and nodded his head.

"Thank-you Ms. Gardner, you may step down now. I will be back in fifteen minutes with my decision." he said as he stood up and went behind the door near his seat. Tea came down from the stand and went over to Atem who was waiting for her. She hugged his waist tightly while he wrapped his arms around her to return the hug. She let out a shaky sigh as she looked up at Atem who gave her a warm smile.

"You did an amazing job, there's no doubt in my mind that the judge will grant them freedom." he said. The prosecutor and Akiyoshi came over to them.

"Excellent testimony Tea, I know we have this in the bag." she said.

"So all we have to do is wait." said Akiyoshi.

"Yes, that's all we can do now." said the prosecutor. Over on the other side of the courtroom, Rachel and Renku were having worried expressions, but they were both glaring at their defense attorney.

"What kind of a lawyer are you anyway? You were suppose to be defending us and you made us look like fools. If we go to prison because of your stupidity, I'll make sure you never work in this town again." said Rachel.

"I'm sorry, I did the best I could on my part. We just have to wait for the judge to make a decision, there were some parts I made that might clear your names." As he finished talking, Akiyoshi walked over to the both of them with a disappointed look for both Rachel and Renku. Rachel saw her father and sighed a breath of relief thinking that he was going to work his magic and get them both freed.

"Daddy, you came. Thank goodness you're here, now you can tell these fools who you are and demand them to let us go." she said as she started to rise up from her seat thinking she was about to leave. Unfortunately for her and Renku, Akiyoshi shook his head.

"No Rachel, not this time. You know, I was hoping that you and your cousin would try and have a change of heart and confess to what you did. Maybe if you did that, you would only have less time to spend in prison, but you didn't even have enough compassion as to what you were putting Atem and Tea through. I think time in prison will do you both some justice." he said. Rachel and Renku glared at him.

"That's if we're convicted old man, I can't believe you would betray us like that." said Renku. Akiyoshi had a glare of his own that made the both of them shiver slightly in fear.

"You want to talk about betrayal? Let's talk about the two of you who did so many crimes behind my back just because things aren't going your way. The judge will be out in a few minutes so I suggest you both get ready for your new home." he said as he walked back over to his seat next to Atem and Tea. Finally after what seemed like forever, the judge came back out with his ruling. He sat down in his seat and face everyone in the courtroom.

"After reviewing everything, I have made my decision. Rachel Ookami and Renku Ookami, please rise." The both of them rose up from their seats waiting for him to speak.

"Rachel and Renku, I have no reason in my mind at all that the decision I made is wrong. You both have committed crimes that have almost cost lives in the process. I sentenced you both to 40 years to life in prison. Case dismissed." he said as he lifted his mallet and banged it down to confirm the sentence. Two officers came from their positions against the wall and handcuffed Rachel and Renku to take them away. They shot a glare to Atem and Tea who were watching them as they left. Once they were gone, Atem and Tea hugged each other happy to know that all of this was finally over forever. Standing up from their seats, they turned to Akiyoshi who was watching his daughter and nephew disappear through the door on their way to prison.

"Are you alright Akiyoshi?" asked Atem. He nodded and gave them a reassuring smile.

"Yes I will be. Maybe it'll be a while before they speak to me again, but it's for the best. They need to pay for the crimes they committed." he said.

"Thank-you for your support Mr. Ookami. None of this would have been possible without you." said Tea.

"You are very welcome young lady. I have to get ready for a meeting soon so I'll see you both another time." he said.

"Okay, we have to go also. You take care Akiyoshi." Atem said as he and Tea walked out of the courtroom. They got inside the car and drove back on home. Sighing a breath of relief after the thirty minute drive, they got out and went inside the house to stay inside for the rest of the day. After they changed out of their dress clothes and showered, they were laying down on their bed just staring out the balcony door at the afternoon sun that was going down. Neither one of them said a word as they were still getting used to the fact that now they can live together without having to worry about looking over their shoulder for any sign of trouble. Atem was running his fingers through Tea's hair while she gave out a blissful sigh. Without realizing it, she closed her eyes and fell asleep with no nightmares, just a nice, peaceful, dreamless sleep that she had wanted for a long time. A few hours later, she woke up and saw the room dark indicating that it was night time. She turned over on her side and noticed that Atem wasn't laying beside her so she got up from the bed and went to go look for him. As she was walking, she heard a soft strum of music and looked into the reading room to see Atem playing a guitar. Because he was so into his practicing, he didn't notice her coming inside and sitting next to him until he felt movement of the sofa. He turned his head and smiled when he Tea was watching him play.

"Hey, what are you doing up?" he asked.

"I should be asking you that, I didn't know you play guitar. You're really good." she said amazed at his talent. Atem gave out a light chuckle.

"Yeah, I started to play a year ago. It's just something to do in my spare time." he said as he played a couple more strings. Tea leaned her head in his shoulder while he was playing.

"Can you play me something?" she asked in a sweet voice and giving him a puppy dog pout. Atem turned to her with a smile.

"Now how can I say no to that face? I was working on this song a few weeks ago, but might not be as good as it should be yet."

"That's okay, I still want to hear it." she said.

"Okay." Atem took a deep breath and started strumming the first notes as he begun to sing.

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

Tea smiled and closed her eyes as she listened to Atem's wonderful voice.

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh

So breathe in so deep
Breathe in me
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

Atem finished the song while ending the final notes on his guitar and turned to Tea to see what she thought about it. He got his answer when she brought him close to her and kissed him passionately which made him almost drop his guitar, but that was the last thing on his mind as he gave her as much passion to the kiss as she did. After a few minutes, they broke apart breathing very heavily.

"So I'm guessing you liked it?" he asked. Tea giggled and nodded.

"I loved it, that song was beautiful." Atem placed his guitar against the sofa as he brought Tea closer to him and intertwined his hand with hers. There was nothing but a peaceful silence as they listened to the sounds of the night. Tea broke the comfortable silence.

"You know, when I was up on the stand today, my heart was beating so fast. I didn't know what to expect, it was like I was waiting for the unexpected like someone was going to pull a gun out or an unknown person would come in the courtroom and say that Rachel and Renku were innocent. I'm glad their gone though, I really am glad. I didn't want to keep living my life in fear of them coming and ruining what we have." she said.

"That is one thing you never have to worry about. Nothing is going to come between us and ruin what we have, okay? Rachel and Renku got what they deserve and we never have to worry about them coming into our lives again." he said. Tea smiled and nodded her head agreeing with him. Atem stood up from the sofa while pulling her up with him and walking them into the bedroom. Pulling the blankets down, they got inside and covered their bodies with the blanket. Atem brought Tea over onto his chest and gave her a kiss on her forehead as they closed their eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next day consisted of Atem waking up and getting himself ready for his day of work at the company. As usual, he would give Tea a nice long kiss before he set out, but today was much more different than any other day. There was one stop he had to make before he went to work and he had to be alone in order for him to do it. So when he reached his destination, he got out of his car and went inside the store to find that special thing he was looking for. He searched and searched until he found the perfect one. After he paid for it, he placed it inside the bag and walked back out to his car to drive to the company.

It was around eight in the evening and Tea was waiting for Atem to come home. He told her to dress in something beautiful and not to do anything for dinner tonight because he had already planned it for them so here she sits on the sofa while she waits for him to come through the door. She was wearing a dark blue blouse with a black skirt that flowed down to her knees. Just then, the phone rang and she walked over to it to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey beautiful." It was Atem on the other line.

"Hey, where are you? Are you on your way home?" she asked.

"Actually, I'm waiting for you. I sent Bailey over to the house to pick you up."

"What, why?"

"Don't worry, you'll see. I'll be waiting for you." Just when she was about to answer back, there was a knock at the door and guessed that it was Bailey.

"Well I guess I'm on my way then. Bailey just showed up." she said.

"Perfect, I'll see you in a few minutes." Tea hung up the phone and went to open the door. Bailey greeted her with a smile and tipped his hat to her.

"Hello Ms. Tea, I'm here to escort you to Mr. Mutou. He has a special evening planned for the both of you." he said. Tea took her jacket from the coat rack and followed Bailey out to the limo. He opened the door for her and she got inside as she waited for him to get in the driver side and drive to where Atem was located. After about ten minutes of driving, he finally arrived to a familiar place she been to before. Before she was able to step out the limo, she was handed a blindfold from Bailey.

"I was ordered by Mr. Mutou to have you blindfolded as we walk to where he is now, he says he wants to surprise you." he said. Tea then covered her eyes with the blindfold and she waited a moment before her hand was taken. She was walking for a minute until she heard what sounded like water and she felt like her heart was going to burst from excitement. Her hand was freed and the blindfold was taken off her eyes. When she opened them, she was greeted by a beautiful sight. She arrived at the same lake where she ran to the night Atem found her after she left his house. There was a candle light dinner for two and as you look out to the sparkling water, there were fireflies flying around the lake making it look mystical.

"Do you like it?" a voice whispered. Tea gasped and turned around to see Atem behind her. She smiled and nodded her head to him.

"Yes, it's absolutely beautiful. I wasn't expecting all of this." she said. Atem chuckled.

"Well then let's sit down and enjoy, shall we?" he said as he led her over to the table. He pulled out her chair for her to sit and he went around and took his own seat. He stared at her lovingly while giving her the same smile she fell in love with.

"You look so lovely tonight." he said. Tea blushed and smiled back.

"Thank-you." They looked down at the delicious dinner they were having and started to enjoy every bit of it. There were times during the dinner where they would feed each other and they talked about how their day was. After they were finished with the dinner, Atem stood up from the table and brought Tea to stand up with him. He led her over by the lake and stood in front of her.

"So is this why you brought me out here? Because I have to say this is the most romantic night of my life." she said.

"Well, yes and no. I brought you here to ask you something."

"Okay, what is it?" Atem took a deep breath and exhaled very slowly before taking both of Tea's hands into his own.

"Tea, since I've met you, my life has been full of so much happiness. I knew that the moment I first laid eyes on you, that I would fall in love with you and you granted one my greatest wishes by loving me back. I want to go with you all the way so I am hoping that you will grant another wish of mine." He got down on one knee which made Tea's eyes widened and he reached into his pocket to pull out a little velvet black case. He opened it to reveal a beautiful silver diamond engagement ring with a large diamond in the middle and two smaller diamonds on the side.

"Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Will you marry me Tea?" he asked hoping for her answer to be the one he wants to hear from her. Tea had tears running down her eyes and her hand was covering her mouth not believing what was happening. She wiped her tears away and smiled as she gave her his answer.

"Yes, yes of course I'll marry you." she said. Atem took the ring out and placed it on her finger. He stood up and gave her the most passionate kiss they ever had while picking her up by her waist and spinning her around just to show how happy she made him. He placed her back down as they broke the kiss catching their breath. Tea had her hands resting on his chest while Atem still had his arms around her waist.

"I love you Atem." she whispered to him. Atem placed his forehead against hers.

"I love you too and we're going to have a wonderful life together, just you and me." he whispered back.

"I can't wait." she said as they pressed their lips together kissing each other under the bright moonlight while the fireflies flew around them as if they were celebrating the start of Atem and Tea's new life together.
