"Talk"
'Thoughts'
"Don't worry tea. I am not going to knock you off a cliff. Don't you trust me?" marik said.
"I do. But this is weird. Come on. Just tell me."
"We are almost there anyway. So be patient." Tea just pouted. He led her to a small house. Then he removed the blindfold. She just stared at it.
"Is… is this your house marik?" she asked him.
"Yeah. Not like your mansion but—." Marik said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"It's beautiful marik. I love it. Can I go inside?" Tea squealed
"Of course. Let's go. There is someone inside that I want you to meet." Marik smiled. They entered the small house. Tea curiously looked around, while marik led her into a small bedroom. Tea turned her attention to a person, lying on the bed. It was a girl, with black hair and blue eyes. She looked pale, and coughed when they entered.
'Ishizu. Look who I brought." Marik said to the girl.
"Is it tea marik?" ishizu asked.
"Yeah. Tea, this is my sister, ishizu." Marik said. Tea walked over to ishizu and sat beside her bed, on a chair.
"Hi. How are you?" tea said.
"I am fine. Oh my, you are even more beautiful then I expected. Marik always talks about you, all the time. Now, I've finally met you." ishizu smiled.
"Really. He does." tea looked slyly at marik.
"Yeah. He doesn't stop praising you. But you really are worth it. I am glad he is with you." ishizu said. Then she started coughing again.
"Okay ishizu. That's enough talk for today. Go to sleep now." marik said. He led tea outside. Once outside, tea started asking the questions.
"Marik. Why didn't you tell me you had a sister?" tea said, pouting.
"Does it matter?" he looked sad. Tea's hand rested on his cheek, as she gazed into his painful eyes.
"What is wrong with her marik?" she asked.
"She has some rare heart disease." Marik replied.
"Oh, I am sorry."
'No, don't be. It's not your fault. Besides, I am working day and night to earn enough money for the operation." Marik said.
"Maybe I can help." tea offered.
"That's why I didn't tell you tea. You are the daughter of a rich businessman. This is a piece of cake for you. But I can't take money from you." marik said.
"But I am not some stranger I am your girl friend. I love you marik and I want to see you happy." She argued.
"Then drop this topic. I want to prove to you and myself that I can take care of my family. I want to assure myself that when I marry you, I will be able to provide you with the best medication." Marik said.
"Oh marik. That is so sweet. No wonder I love you." she said and hugged him.
"And I love you too." There lips met in a blissful kiss.
"Then when are you gonna ask my father for my hand. I can't stay away from you anymore." Tea asked.
"Why the hell would I do that?" he said slyly, playing with her.
"Yeah, don't ask him. Just wait and watch someone take me away." tea said pouting.
"I want to tea. I really do. But I am still an ordinary clerk, an insect compared to your father. I want to be something before I confront him." marik said sighing.
"But I don't care marik. I am the one marrying you, not him. I know I will be happy with you." tea said.
"Don't worry. I will ask him soon, and make you mine. Besides, there is no one else in this world that can take you away from me. No one." marik said confidently.
"Mokuba, you are out of your mind." Seto said.
"Why is that?" mokuba asked.
"I have never had a girl friend in my entire life. Hell, I never even acknowledged the presence of the female species. And now, you want me to marry?" seto said.
"What's wrong with seeing the girl. I am telling you, she is drop dead gorgeous. I have seen her." mokuba said.
"Ok. Maybe she is beautiful. But what makes you think she is single. A girl like her probably has a boyfriend, a handsome one too." Seto said.
"I confirmed from her father, she is single and your age too." Mokuba replied with a smirk on his face.
"This is not gonna happen mokuba. So stop dreaming." Seto said.
"I don't care. We are going to dinner at her house tonight and you are going too." Mokuba said in a final tone.
"But… but" seto thought of an excuse.
"No buts. We are going. That's final and I have a very good feeling about it." Mokuba said. Seto just sighed and walked towards his room.
"Tea, where were you? I tried calling you but no response." Her father said
"Oh yeah, I was busy hanging with my friend. Sorry." Tea lied.
"It's okay. Now get ready. We have guests over for dinner." Her father informed her.
"Your business friends. Dad, why do I have to be here? They are your friends, some old men. What am I going to do?" tea said.
"These friends are not old dear. They are your age." Her father had a smile on his face.
"My age, and business men. Who are they?" she asked even though she had a slight idea.
"The kaiba brothers." Her father said.
"Why are they coming? Last I checked, they were very anti-social, at least the older one, seto kaiba was. He is also a cold hearted jerk." Tea said.
"You will not greet them with the same attitude tea. They are my partners and I want you to behave nicely when they come. I want you to be at your best, especially with seto kaiba." Her father scolded her.
"Why me and why with him?" tea said.
"You ask too many questions tea. Just get ready. Wear the clothes I brought you. They are on the couch." Her father said sternly. Tea went to get it and was surprised. It was a red dress, with one strap that went over her left shoulder. It came up to her lower thighs and had a lot of pearls and diamonds at the hem. Tea never wore a dress like that, ever in her life. She was much more into jeans and tank tops. She stared at her father.
"Do I have to wear this?" she whined.
"Yes. Now get ready. The hairdresser will be here any second. She will also put some make up on you," her father said.
"But I don't wear make up, or these kind of dresses. You know that. So why are you doing this?" tea asked.
"You are a grown up woman now and it would be better if you act your age. You are a beautiful lady and I want everyone to see that. Now get ready." Her father said and left. Tea pouted and went to her room.
'I don't want to do this. This is like pain in the butt', she thought. Unknown to her, someone else was having the same thoughts.
"You are such a kid. You are going to meet her for the first time. You have to give a give impression. Show her hoe handsome you are." Mokuba said.
"I never wore a tuxedo in my life before." Seto said.
"Well, there is a first time for everything." Mokuba smirked.
"I … you… forget it. I'll just wear this ridiculous thing." He frowned and walked upstairs, with the same thoughts as tea, in his head.
Seto and mokuba entered a mansion, much like they're own, but smaller. Seto looked bored. He considered this a waste of time. Who ever this girl couldn't possibly deny him. She was already all water. Finding out that he was coming to her house. But mokuba told him that she was different. That's why he was here. The father of the girl came and greeted him. Seto knew him. He had seen him on a couple of times before.
"Mr. Kaiba, Mr. Mokuba. Welcome to my house. I am so glad you came." Her father said.
"You invited us. How could we say no." mokuba smiled at the man.
"That's your kindness. Please, meet my daughter, tea." her father said and moved a bit to reveal tea, which stood there with a pleasant smile on her face.
Seto's heartbeat stopped after a look at the girl before him. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and he had seen a lot. Top models wished to be known by him, died for a mere glance. This girl beat all of them in beauty. Her creamy skin was covered by her silk dress, which exposed her beautiful, long slender legs. She had bright blue eyes, twinkling like tow bright stars. She was simply gorgeous. He couldn't take his eyes off her. This visit may not be as bad as he thought.
Tea slowly walked up to the kaiba brothers. She had to admit they were handsome, especially the older one. 'No wonder all the girls die for him', she thought.
"Hi. I am pleased to meet you." She extended her hand for seto to shake. He accepted it. His hands were large but soft, not like marik's at all. She also noticed that he was taller then marik, and probably well built as well. She turned to mokuba and extended her hand again.
"The pleasure is all ours." Mokuba said. Tea smiled at him. They entered the living room and sat down. Tea sat in a love seat, so did seto. Mokuba and tea's father sat on a big sofa and started conversation. They weren't talking about business so seto wasn't participating and they surely weren't talking about anything tea was interested in so she stayed out as well. Tea's father noticed that and spoke.
"You look bored Mr. Kaiba. Tea, why don't you give Mr. Kaiba a tour of the house?" tea nodded and got up.
"Please come." Tea said. Seto followed her. When they disappeared mokuba and tea's father smiled brightly.
"It's working." Mokuba said.
"I am very honored that you chose my daughter." Her father said.
"And we will be honored to have her with us." Mokuba said and they continued talking.
"And here is my favorite place in the whole house, the balcony." She said.
"Interesting choice." He commented.
"I love standing here, reading a book or listening music. It's so peaceful and natural. It also has a clear view of the sunset." She informed him.
"Yeah. Sunset is probably the beat sight in the world." His hand flicked to his collar. Tea smiled.
"You are uncomfortable wearing this suit, right?" she said knowingly.
"Yeah. How did you know?" he asked her.
"A guy acts like this when he is nervous. But I can't imagine you being nervous, keeping in mind that you talk to hundreds of people every day. And besides, you have been doing that ever since you entered our house." She finished smiling at him. He smiled back
"Observant, aren't you. I have an observation of my own." Seto said with a smirk.
"Oh yeah. What?"
"You don't wear dresses like this often. Am I right?" her wide mouth said it all. He continued.
"You have been acting as if someone is gonna look up your dress, careful. Girls who wear these kinds of clothes often wear them because they want to show their body. But you have been tugging at the dress all evening."
"It seem that you are very observant too." She said.
"Much like you." he said and Tea smiled at him.
"One way to check it." The father said. He turned to the maid and said, "Go upstairs and find tea and our guest. See what they are doing but don't let them find you." The maid nodded and walked upstairs. She found seto and tea talking in the balcony.
"I told him to just leave me but he wouldn't. He thought he was irresistible." Tea told an amused seto.
"All the girls in the university were dying for him and he figured I was too. He tried to seduce me in front of the whole class. I was so pissed. So to get my revenge, I pulled a prank on him with my friends. We all really humiliated him bad. He didn't come to the campus for a week. It was good. But I got hell from dad for that. He whined to his dad and you can guess the rest. Dad wants me to get a boyfriend of my status and everyone I know of our status is a self-centered jerk so that's why I don't have one. Tell me why don't you have a girl friend. You are so cute." She said.
"I have never been called "cute" before. And to answer you, all the girls are after my money or after my power. They want me for what I am, not who I am." He said.
"That's different from what I believed. You know, you are different then anyone I have ever met. Even though you are so rich and powerful, you don't rub it in other's face. And I know guys whose fathers are rich and they show it off." Tea said.
"You are no different then me. So I guess we are alike." He said smiling.
"Definitely." She said.
The maid went back and told mokuba and Tea's father what she heard and saw. They smiled.
"I knew it. They are perfect for each other. And now that tea has met him and likes him, we can proceed further." Mokuba said.
"Definitely. I will be honored to have seto kaiba as my son-in-law and I am sure tea will be the luckiest girl to have him as her husband." Her father said.
"Then it's final. I will confirm the date with seto. Congratulations."
