Miya's POV
He started the truck, and headed towards Kaiba Manor. When you arrived, Aaron and Mokuba were running around in the front yard. When the truck pulled into the drive, Mokuba stared at it stepped out and the look on his face changed from shock to a huge smile.
"Hey Miya! Where'd you run off to this morning?"
"I had to go get a dress."
"Oh."
Chris stepped out of the truck as Aaron was walking up to you.
"hey shrimp."
Aaron's face lit up.
"Chris!"
He nearly tackled Chris in a hug. Aaron only came up to Chris' stomach, so it was kinda funny to see him try to tackle him.
"How ya been kido?"
"I'm good. Well except for the um, broken arm."
'How'd you do that."
"Fight at school."
"Are you serious?"
"Yep. But Mokuba and I kicked some ass!"
"Aaron!"
'Sorry Miya."
"But hey, I'll stop by another time. I've got to get back to the base. So Miya, I'll help you take Ali's bags in, and then I'll get going."
"You don't have to do that Chris. I can get them. It's not a big deal."
"No it is. I have something to ask you. And I don't want the shrimp hearing."
"Mmkay then."
He grabbed a few bags, and you grabbed the rest and he followed you up to your room.
"So what did you need to ask me?"
'I wanted to know if you and I could go out to dinner or something soon?"
"Sure. I would love to. Just tell me when and what to wear."
"Well how about tomorrow night and casual?"
"Alright. So I'll meet you someplace?"
"No. No. No. I'll be coming to pick you up."
"If you say so. I don't see why everyone is so set of giving me a ride places."
"Heh. Well I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"Yep. Thanks Chris. See ya."
He left your room and went back to his truck. You listened to him rev it up and pull out the driveway. It was about 12:30. You had an hour and a half to prepare for Ali's arrival.
"Miya?"
"Oh hey Rene. Did they drop off my dress?"
"Yes they did. I went ahead and put it in your closet."
"Thank you so much."
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
"No Rene. I'm fine. Just um when my friend Ali gets here, show her up here please?"
"Of course."
You got out a pair of shorts and a button up shirt and laid them on the bathroom counter. You turned the shower and jumped in. You had to make sure Ali had a "clean slate" to work with when she got here. It was either that or she would release her wrath upon you.
"hello?"
"Hey Ali, I'm in the shower!"
She popped her head in.
"Good you're a step ahead. I'm gonna plus all my stuff in then we can get started."
"Oh boy."
You spent as much time as possible in the shower so you could have as much alone time as possible.
When you got out, you changed into the clothes you had laid out. Ali then sat you down and threw some stuff into your hair to keep it from frizzing. She then started to blow dry your hair.
About an hour or so later, your hair was done.
"I think I did an awesome job! Now all we have to do is do your nails, facial, and makeup."
"nails, facial and makeup? What else do you have up your sleeve?"
"Um maybe a pedicure, and some other spa like treatments."
"Oh god."
You prepared yourself for a few more hours of unwanted "pampering".
At about 5:00, you were finally allowed to put on your dress.
A knock came at the door.
"If you're Seto Kaiba, you can't come in."
"It's me and Mokuba Ali."
"Oh you guys can come in."
Mokuba and Aaron came into the room and gasped.
"Wow Miya. You look amazing."
"Thanks Aaron."
"Oh yeah. Seto is defiantly going to ask you out."
"Mokuba. Stop that."
Ali's eyes went from you, to Mokuba, back to you, then to Aaron and finally back to you.
"You keep that up Ali, you're going to give yourself whip lash."
"I'm not even going to ask. But yeah let me zip your dress before you get your hair stuck in it."
You sighed and stood up straight to let Ali zip your dress.
"So, what are you and Seto going to do for 2 hours?"
"Go to the ball."
"Um, the ball doesn't start until 7:30."
"Really? Then um, I have no idea."
"Hm. I guess it's a surprise."
You rolled your eyes. You weren't much for surprises.
"You only spent $179 for this dress?"
"What?"
"The dress was only $179?"
"Are you serious?"
"You didn't know what you paid for it?"
"I chose not to know. Seto just handed me his card and said here!"
"And you don't like people spending money on you. No wonder."
"I thought it would have been more."
"Guess you have an eye for good deals on excellent merchandise."
"I guess so."
"Hm, I don't even think Seto's dress shoes were that cheap."
"Are you serious Mokuba?"
"Yeah. He has very expensive taste. So, if you're ever planning on being his girlfriend, you better get use to it."
"I don't plan on being his girlfriend. I don't think of him like that."
"I'll take him up if you deny him."
"Ali?!"
"What? I would."
You fixed the few strands of hair that got out of place and Ali sprayed you down with another 3 cans of hairspray. You sat down and put the black heels on that you'd found. Looking at the full length mirror in the bathroom, you had to blush slightly. Hopefully you were presentable for Seto's side.
"Hey Miya, I think Kaiba's home. The limo's out front."
"Thanks Ali."
" He'll be on his way up. More than likely he dressed at Kaiba Corp. So, can I be your escort out to meet him."
You smiled.
"Of course you can Mokuba."
He giggled and took your arm, trying to look as much like a gentleman as possible. You couldn't help but smile sweetly for his efforts.
When you both reached the top of the double stair case that led down to the main entrance, you heard the front door open.
In stepped Seto. He looked drop dead hansom in his pitch black suit with blue accents and tux vest. There couldn't have been a better looking male in the entire world right now.
"Ahem" Mokuba said loudly in an almost sarcastic tone.
Seto turned upwards just for a second and then looked back down at his phone. Then his head shot back up to take a second look.
Seto's POV
You got out of the limo, hoping that you weren't running late and that Miya had finished on time. Judging on what you'd seen from your female staff, they could take forever. You walked in the door to the manor and stopped in the entrance to check the time on your phone before adjusting your tie.
"Ahem!"
You looked up and say Mokuba standing at the top of the stairs. You turned your head back down to your phone. Realizing what you had truly just seen, you looked back up.
Miya stood there in the most elegant dress. She looked like something you could have only imagined. Her soft brown hair was done up in curls that cascaded down her back.
"Wow."
It was the only thing you could think to say. There was no other way to express how gorgeous she was. Mokuba walked her down the stairs and left her standing at the bottom, just a few steps away from you before running back upstairs.
"Welcome home Mr. Kaiba."
"Thanks Miya."
She blushed.
"I see you found a dress, and within such short notice?"
"And lucky me, it matches you quiet well."
You looked down, and she was right.
Your tux was black, but your vest and bow tie were the deep blue of her dress. Even her jewelry matched. They were silver, which happened to match the buttons and cuff links on your jacket.
Miya cleared her throat.
"yeah?"
"Your staring."
"Oh sorry. So um, you ready to go?"
"Only if you tell me why we're leaving now when it doesn't start until 7:30?"
"Hm. Guess you'll just have to wait and see."
She just smiled at you and shrugged.
"Shall we?"
She nodded and took your arm.
Miya's POV
He opened the door for you and you carefully got in. He followed and shut the door. You jerked forward slightly when the limo first took off from the driveway.
You kept looking out the window and the discussion with Mokuba and Aaron kept playing in your head.
Was this more than just a simple employee/employer outing? Did he really like you like they said he did?
"Miya? You alright?"
You turned to look at him, almost too quick.
"Ow."
"You alright?"
"Yeah why do you ask?"
"Your griping your dress like its your hold on life."
"Oh heh, Sorry."
"Nervous?"
"Yeah. A lot actually. I've never really been around high end business people before. Mainly just small business owners and stuff like that."
"You'll be fine Miya. The only thing you need to worry about is the CEO's sons' hitting on you, and their girlfriends maybe staring you down."
*gulp*
Your face almost lost all its color.
Seto took your hand and unlatched it from your dress.
"I was joking."
"Oh."
"Besides. Everyone there knows not to mess with my employees."
"Well, that's comforting."
"Hm, just because you're that nervous, I'll tell you where we're going. We're going to dinner first, since I figured that Ali wouldn't let you eat while she was getting you "dolled up"."
'Well you figured right. She didn't want me getting something on my dress."
"If your worried about that, we can wait until after."
"No I'm not too worried about it. I mean it was only a $180 dress."
"Wow."
"Not too much was it?"
"Actually, that's way below what I figured you would spend."
"How much did you expect?"
"Um my assistant who normally goes with me, she spends at least 800 on the dress alone."
"Wow. I could never spend that much on a dress."
"Hm."
"Yeah, I heard from Mokuba that the shoes your wearing are more expensive than my dress."
"Yeah they are. But you know how CEO's are. We have to be better than the next."
"Isn't it the same with assistants and employees?"
"Somewhat. But most of the assistants look like trashy hookers. And some days mine does too, but never to one of these things. And besides, you're much better than any assistant. You're my Tech Department Specialist."
"Well hopefully, I don't disappoint you."
The limo stopped and you tried to see where you were at.
"Where are we?"
"You'll just have to wait and see."
You felt something cover your eyes.
"Is the blindfold necessary?"
"Yes."
"You're not going to lead me someplace and kill me are you?"
"Do you trust me?"
"Yes?"
He took your hand and helped you out of the limo. You were blushing as Seto put his hand on yours and led you to where ever it was he was taking you.
"ready?"
"um yeah?"
He let go and went to untie your blindfold.
