The sun was shining and it was bright. It looked like the sun was facing a mirror. It gave off a strong light. Kaiba was still shirtless holding Noelle and she was still snug in his arms. Seto came around and looked around Noelle's room. He could see the room's full detail. Noelle felt Kaiba move and woke up. She felt nothing but rock hard abs underneath her. She blushed. Her eyes flew open. "oh my god."
"Well good morning to you too."
"You have to go. What. Why are you here?" Noelle cried so much she forgot about Kaiba being at her house. Noelle was flipping out. She didn't want ken to find Kaiba in her room. Noelle quickly jumped off her soft bed and handed Kaiba his shirt and jacket. Kaiba could clearly see her wounds now. He knew she was being beat badly.
"Calm down. I will leave. Only on one condition"
"What?" Noelle asked.
"Actually two. One, you show me the rest of the bruises you have because I'm pretty sure there are more and two, you get breakfast with me." Was Kaiba insane? Noelle went to her window to open it. She seemed to ignore Kaiba's request. Kaiba grabbed Noelle causing her two dogs to jump up from their slumber growling. "Show me." Kaiba demanded. Noelle could hear the seriousness in Kaiba's voice. Why did he want to see? How did he know that there were more bruises? Noelle knew if she tried to get away from Kaiba he was so strong he would possibly tackle her down. She didn't want that. Noelle sighed then slowly lifted her shirt up to her rib cage. Kaiba's eyes widened. He was horrified. There was a huge bruise that started from the middle of her left rib to her lower stomach.
"Kaiba look. Please. Don't say anything. If you do. I could be sent back to America. I don't want to go back there. I was so lonely there. Now that I have moved to japan, I'm so happy. Please Seto."
"I refuse to sit by a watch you get beat. How can I forgive myself if you come to school with more bruises? I couldn't"
"Why do you care so much Seto?"
"Why do I care? You're just like me when I was younger. Kaiba touched his chest. When I was young, my father used to beat me to make me study harder only because the slime ball wanted me to take over Kaiba Corp which was a corporation for war weapons. I agreed to take over but I swore to turn Kaiba Corp into something new. Something that wasn't used for evil. He gave me the mark you saw with a switch blade" Noelle froze. She didn't know what to say. All she could think about was how open Kaiba was being. Kaiba walked towards Noelle's window. He took out one of his business cards from his wallet. He placed it into Noelle's hand glaring her in her eyes. "If you ever want to reconsider a breakfast meeting do not hesitate to call or if you need help." Noelle nodded. She watched the tall blue eyed prince jump out of her window and walk over to his shiny black BMW. Noelle watched Kaiba as he drove off and closed her window. She couldn't believe that she had slept next to someone so handsome. Kaiba wasn't so cruel after all
A few hours passed and Ken didn't come home from work. Tea was busy with her parents and the boys went away to a boys retreat for the weekend. It was about 4 o clock and Noelle was bored out of her mind. She was petting both Moelle and Cam. The two petite dogs slumbered. Noelle glanced at Kaiba's business card and couldn't believe that she had his phone number. Maybe I should take Kaiba up on his offer. Noelle unlocked her phone screen and slowly punched in the digits that were inscribed on the card. It began to ring. Noelle swallowed hard.
"Seto Kaiba speaking. "She couldn't believe how mature Seto sounded
"Um. Hi. Seto." Noelle blushed. Kaiba had on his usual cocky grin knowing full well Noelle would call. He was Seto Kaiba of course.
"Noelle. I'm glad you called."
"I bet you are." Noelle blushed. "I. I. wanted to see you again." Noelle blushed even harder. "I mean. I wanted to...um I I...um" Noelle was lost for words and was red as an apple. Kaiba smiled while leaning back in his chair.
"What time should I pick you up? Let's say 7.30?" Noelle couldn't feel her heart for a second.
"Yes um that's fine."
"Good. I'll see you then and oh... wear something let's say nice."
"Oh ok." Nice Noelle thought. "Um Seto. Is this a date?"
"Yes. You can say that. "Noelle blushed and thought the room was spinning." I'll see you later."
"Bye." Noelle stammered. As soon as a she hung up the phone she decided to call Tea. She couldn't be that busy. The phone rang about 6 times until she answered.
"Hey. Noelle what's up?"
"Can I trust you with something? You have to keep it between me and you and you cannot tell the boys especially Joey and Tristan."
"Definitely! Of course. Girl power all the way. What's up?"
"I have a date."
"With who?!" Tea screamed in the phone causing her parents to look at her and causing her father to swerve his car. Tea mouthed she was sorry.
"With...Seto." Noelle whispered
"Who?" Tea didn't hear Noelle.
"Seto Kaiba. " Tea's mouth was wide open. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Noelle was going out with Seto Kaiba? Every girl at domino high fantasized about being with Seto Kaiba. Driving around in his limo being wrapped in the tall knights arms. He was incredibly handsome and not to mention rich. Filthy rich.
"Noelle oh my god. What are you going to wear? You have to look hot. There are paparazzi bound to see you guys together. "
"Yea I really don't know what to wear. He said wear something nice." Noelle twirled her hair in her hand.
"Remember that beautiful black and silver dress we brought at the mall. That screams Seto Kaiba kiss me all over it." Noelle blushed.
"He's just a friend..."
"That's what they all say. Wear that. I'm sure he will not be able to take his eyes off of you. Wear your hair down but bangs to the side. You want him to see those pretty eyes. But look. I have to get going so I will talk to you later to see how everything went. This stays between us I promise. Bye!"
"Bye Tea." Noelle walked to her closet and pulled out the dress. It was a spaghetti strap dress. How was she going to cover her marks? Maybe makeup? She thought.
The 3 hours flew by and Noelle was ready to go. Ken did not come home so she figured he was away on business again which was a good thing. She glanced at herself in the mirror. She looked ravishing. Her hair was straight as a pencil and her makeup looked flawless no one would ever tell that she was being beaten. She covered her scars with make-up but had a shawl to cover her upper body she had on a pair of silver heels so that way she could somewhat match Kaiba's height. The dress fit Noelle like a glove showing off all of her curves and beautiful long legs. Noelle was blushing. Where was Kaiba going to take her? Moelle and Cameron ran to Noelle barking at her beauty. Noelle bent down to pet them.
"I'll be ok my darlings. I promise." Both dogs licked Noelle hand. The doorbell rang. Noelle peeked through the door hole and saw Kaiba. He looked handsome and he had a bouquet of lilies in his hand. Some were pink and some were white. How did Kaiba know that Noelle liked lilies? Noelle opened the door and Kaiba smiled. He thought Noelle was stunning. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. Noelle saw Kaiba had his brown luscious hair pulled back. It looked black. He had on a fitted suit and he looked like the billions of dollars that he owned
"For you." Noelle blushed. She never had a guy buy her flowers before. Rather she never went on a date before.
"Thank you. Come in. Sit for a second." Noelle placed her flowers in a vase of water and went to put the flowers in her room. Noelle and Cameron were bothering Seto but he didn't seem to pay them any mind. He was looking at his cell phone making sure his stock numbers were still good. It was something he did every night. Noelle came back down stairs and had her purse with her this time. Kaiba arose from his chair. He extended his arm "are you ready to go?"
"Yes." Noelle blushed. She locked the doors behind her and saw that Kaiba had his limo and the driver was holding the door open the two teens walked into the limo Noelle first and went off to enjoy their night together
