Chapter Seven
When Joey woke up the next morning, he was excited and terrified at the same time, because he knew that today he would be seeing Seto for the first time since he left Domino, and didn't know what he was going to find out.
He got up, went to the bathroom, took a shower, got dressed and went downstairs to get some coffee. As he walked into the kitchen, he found that Jasper was already up. Jasper smiled as he came into the room.
Jasper said, "Good morning, want a cup of coffee?"
Joey sat down and he reached for the cup that Jasper offered and as he sipped the hot brew, Joey said, "Like a wise man once said to me, today is the day that you find out what you really want from life, and I completely agree with him. I'll either find out if I still have feelings for Seto or if I'm ready to move on without him."
Jasper knew exactly how Joey felt, because he too was frightened to see Roland again, what if he still found out that he loved him, only to find out that Roland had moved on with his life and there wasn't any chance for them.
When they were through with their coffee, Jasper said, "We can get something to eat on the way back from the airport, I'm not hungry right now, but if you are, you can fix something to eat."
Joey looked a him and said, "No, I'm not hungry either."
They went out, got into the car, and as Jasper drove to the airport, Joey said, "Go to the Executive Gate, that's where the jet will be landing."
When they got to the gate, the guard said, "Sorry, but you can't enter here unless you have a pass."
Joey said, "We're waiting for the Kaiba Corp. jet to land, my name is Joseph Wheeler and I'm here to pick up the Mr. Kaiba and his family." Joey showed the guard his identification and he checked the list and saw that there was a jet landing that belonged to Kaiba Corp. and Mr. Wheeler's name was on the list as the person picking up the Kaiba party.
Jasper was allowed to enter and he drove over to where the guard said, and as he shut off the engine, they sat there waiting for the jet to land. Both of them both anxious as to how Roland and Seto would react to seeing them, would they be glad or not give a damn.
Just then, Joey said, "There's the jet, might as well get out and go meet them."
When Travis landed the jet, he opened the door and as Roland emerged first followed by Seto then Mokuba, both Joey and Jasper stood there, waiting to see what would happen next.
Roland walked over to them and as Jasper and Roland's eyes met, it was like nothing had changed, they both felt it, and as Roland walked over to Jasper, he said, "God, how I've missed you." Then he took Jasper into his arms and kissed him.
As Joey watched he got tears in his eyes, he was so happy for them, Mokuba was shocked, but then he too smiled he was happy for Roland, but Seto was a different story, he walked over and said, "Roland, what the hell is going on and who is this person?"
Joey had had enough of his self-centered ways and he said, "What in the hell is wrong with you, can't you see that they haven't see each other in a long time, and they missed each other? That's more then I can say about you, what's with you, don't you give a damn how I've been?" Joey turned and walked back to the car, got in and slammed the door shut.
Mokuba walked over to his brother and he said, "Good going, you've done it again, I guess this trip was a mistake after all, you don't give a damn about Joey, all you can do is bitch at Roland, well good going."
Mokuba went over and picked up his bag, walked over to the car where Joey was sitting and he knocked on the window, and said, "Can I come in and sit down?"
Joey smiled as he wiped the tears of frustration and hurt from his face, and he got out, hugged Mokie, and said, "It's good to see you again, how are you doing in your studies at Oxford?"
Mokie said, "I'm fine and so are my studies, but what I want to know is how are you, please don't lie to me."
Joey looked over at Seto who stood there with a bewildered look on his face and he said, "What happened to him?"
Mokuba laughed and said, "I told him off and you know how he hates to be told that he's wrong about anything. Now you were going to tell me how you're doing, and who is that man that Roland's kissing?"
Joey turned and looked at Mokuba and he said, "I'm fine, in fact I've haven't been this happy in a long time. Now as to that man is, well I suggest that you ask Roland that."
Just then Seto walked over to where they were and he said, "Listen, I know that I can be a regular ass, but why did you leave, didn't we have a great time being together?"
Joey looked at him and all he saw was a man who couldn't ever show anyone the real Seto Kaiba, and whatever he felt for him was gone. Joey said, "That's just it, we did have a great time, but I wanted something else and I knew that you'd never agree to that, so I left."
Roland lifted his head and as he looked into Jasper's eyes he whispered, "I love you and I'm never going to let you go again."
Jasper closed his eyes and laid his head on Roland's shoulder and he said, "I love you too, but what about Seto and Mokuba, what will they do?"
Roland looked over at the car and from Seto's stance, he knew that something had happened and he nearly groaned aloud. Jasper looked over at the car too and he knew that what happened wasn't good. They both walked over and Roland said, "Can we all go to the Hotel, I need to talk to all of you."
Seto looked at Roland then to Jasper then to Joey and he said, "What the hell did he do to Joey, he's changed and I know that he's to blame."
Joey started laughing, that took everyone by surprise, and he looked at Seto and said, "No one changed me, I found out that my life back in Domino wasn't going anywhere and I also knew that if I didn't leave I'd never would. I left because there was nothing keeping me there and what I've found here is wonderful.
I've discovered that I love who I am and nothing is going to ever change that and I will never go back to being that person who was so afraid to tell you what I felt, nothing."
Jasper looked at Roland and he said, "You need to go talk to them, Joey and I are going to go back to my house, here is my phone number, please call and let me know what's going on." Then he kissed Roland again, got into the car and as he drove off, he wondered what was going to happen.
