Story 40: Thinking, Talking

Pairings: JoeyxMai

Romance

Joey was at a park, sitting on a bench. He just came to the park to think. He couldn't think at home, because there was always something interrupting him. He closed his eyes and sighed. He thought about his friends. Yugi, Tea, Tristan, and Bakura. His four best friends were the best. Then Joey thought about Seto Kaiba. He didn't like Seto Kaiba and Seto didn't like him either. Seto called him a dog several times. It just made him sick. Joey shook his head and thought about Mai. Mai? What about her? Was she just a friend to him? She's beautiful, good at dueling, and smart. Why that every time when he sees her he gets all nervous and embarrassed. He's never felt that way around all his other friends. Was she more than a friend? Joey shook his head and grabbed his head with his hands.

"What am I thinking?" he asked himself.

It was getting so frustrating. Every time Mai kept popping up in his head. He couldn't get her out. She was always there. Always in his head calling out to him or giving him a beautiful smile.

"Joseph? I didn't think I'd see you here," a voice said.

Joey removed his hands from his head. Mai Valentine was standing before him.

"You don't look surprised to see me," Mai said as she sat next to him.

Joey moved away a little. He didn't like this feeling he was feeling right now. "Of course not,"

Mai rolled her eyes. "What are you doing?"

"Thinking," Joey replied.

Joey felt so nervous right now. He didn't know what to do either. He picked up a rock and threw it clumsily up into the air. The rock fell down on Joey's head.

"Ow!" Joey exclaimed as he picked up the rock and threw it fourteen feet away.

Mai laughed.

"What's so funny?" Joey demanded.

"You," Mai replied, still laughing.

Joey blushed in embarrassment. Mai stopped laughing and stood up.

"See ya, Joey," Mai said.

"Where you goin'?" Joey asked, disappointed a little.

"Home. You want me to stay?" Mai asked, as she grinned.

Joey shook his head quickly. Mai shrugged and started walking away. Joey watched her go. Next time he sees her he will tell her how he felt.
