Sorry it's a little late. There's been storms all week, and I've been careful about turning the computer on. Besides that, the camp I'm volunteering at tires me out. But the end of the camp is tomorrow, so...
Chapter 11
A few more medleys passed, a flurry of songs Faye didn't recognize. After these songs ended, they both sat down at their table.
She grinned at him. "Last time I was at a dance, the only thing the DJ played was rap. You know how hard it is to dance to rap?"
He shrugged, stroking the back of her hand. "I can only imagine."
She laughed. "It sucks. The most you can do is bounce awkwardly and scream or cheer." Suddenly, however, she yawned. "Oh, excuse me! I must be more sleepy than I thought."
He checked his watch, an expensive silver Rolex. "Well, it is almost midnight. We can go up to the hotel room if you want." At that moment, the orchestra started playing music from Star Wars, and the ball room started laughing.
Faye stood up, also chuckling "Can you stand one more dance?"
Kaiba rose from his seat, too. "I'll dance all night long if that's what you want." She brightened, giggling cutely as she dragged him back to the dance floor…
"Excuse me," said a middle-aged lady in the supermarket's worker's uniform. She wore a shiny badge that said Manager. "If you're not going to buy anything, I'll have to ask you to leave." Anzu and Yugi stood up quickly, bowing deeply. Jounouchi and Honda had gone off somewhere in the store.
"Sorry!" Yugi apologized. "Just let us go find out friends, and we'll leave your store." The two of them hurried away. After a while of searching, Yugi said, "It's past midnight. They can't still be up."
"No," Anzu replied. "They're at a party. Parties can go for really long times."
Yugi sighed. Sometimes his friend was so pig-headed.
One o'clock AM neared. Faye and Kaiba sat in the ball room, her head resting on his shoulder. He rubbed her upper back soothingly. "Would you like to retire for the night?" he murmured into her ear. He felt her nod.
"Mm-hmm…"
He tried not to smirk. "Okay. Let's go, the hotel is not far…"
I'm writing the climax right now. It's very strange to write… You'll see when I post it next.
And it all seems so much longer in my notebook... which is about a fourth or third the size of a piece of computer paper...
