[15] So Rude, Yet So Attractive

His eyes are staring into my soul. Those killer blue eyes of his.

"Hey, Mia, you okay??"

I'm suddenly drawn out of my trance, my body turning cold. I turn to see April looking at me with a confused expression.

"Huh?" I ask. "You zoned out there for a second." April states, "Is there something bothering you?"

I turn to look back where I saw his eyes, soon to find out that he was gone. 'Is he following me around? No, he has better things to do than find out what I'm doing.'

I frown, but quickly put on a fake smile for the sake of April. "I'm okay, no worries. I just don't have anything to talk about." April just nods.

"So Mia, how's life?" Tristan asks, giving me a smile.

"Eh, it's going pretty good. I have nothing bad to say about it. How about yourself?" I ask in return. "It's going okay, been kinda boring though." He replies as he shrugs. "Did you want to go dance with me?"

'He's asking me to dance with him..?'

My heart starts to race, my anxiety rising again. "S-Sure!" Tristan just chuckles nervously as he stands up, walks around the table to stand in front of me. "Okay, lets go!" He extends his hand, waiting for me to capture his. I slowly reach for it.

"That  won't be necessary." A voice speaks.

I cock my eyebrow in confusion, as Tristan, Yugi, Bakura, April, and I turn our heads. I open my mouth to say something but Yugi beat me to it.

"Kaiba, long time no see. What brings you here?" he asks. "None of your business." Kaiba simply says. The air became tense now. I lower my hand away from Tristan as I turn my whole body around to face Kaiba.

"Man, now I'm all sweaty!" Joeys voice was then heard, his and Mai's footsteps being heard as well. Everybody turns to see Joey, his face dropping as his eyebrows narrow.

"Kaiba? The hell you doing here rich boy?!" He yells, getting in a fighting stance as Mai rolls her eyes, "Relax Joey, don't get your panties in a twist..." Mai mumbles while holding onto the back of his t-shirt.

"This has nothing to do with you, Wheeler." Kaiba simply says, keeping his sentences short like always. Joey snarls, "Why I outta-", I giggle, throwing everyone off.

"Okay everyone, let's just relax a bit..." I say while gesturing my hands, waving them up and down. I look up at Kaiba, meeting his eyes.

'Wait...those eyes are the same ones from earlier...'

"Mia, let's go somewhere private." Kaiba says. Everyone looks at me, "Do the two of you know each other??" Bakura asks.

Before I can say anything, Kaiba grabs my hand and drags me with him. I shout to the others so they don't worry, "No worries guys, I'll be back!".

——————————————————————

I'm sitting in a nice lounge room. It's just Kaiba and I, 'I feel so awkward, just him and I.'

"Listen Mia, I just want to get to know you more. Plus I'm sure you don't wanna be hanging around those losers." He rudely says.

'Well that caught me off guard...'

I grit my teeth, "They aren't losers Kaiba, they're human beings just like you and I. But if you think they're losers, then that makes me a loser too." Kaiba pours me and him a glass of, what looks to be, champagne.

"No, you're different." He says quickly, sipping his champagne. "Well, I beg to differ. What it is that you want to know about me?? You're very hard to read right now." I say, but he doesn't respond after a few seconds. He's just staring off into space. "The least you could do is make eye contact with me..." I mumbled, with a hint of disappointment in my voice.

He swiftly turns his head and stares at me in the eyes. I feel that same feeling from before, my body heat rising. 'He's acting so strange. Maybe this is his true side and not his...work side?'

"It surprises me that you haven't even told your, so called "friends", that you work for me now. Why not?" He asks.

'This is so weird...'

"Well I..." I start to say, thinking in the process. Kaiba just continues to stare, making me feel uptight and worried on how I look.

"I..uh..Don't know. I really haven't been conversational with anyone, not even at school. I usually keep to myself and do my own work." I stare back into his luscious eyes. "I'm usually caught up in my own little world."

"I took a look at your little writings, it's pretty impressive what your imagination can help you write. Maybe Mokuba made a good choice on hiring you. Your advertisements for my work should bring lots of attention." He compliments. After realizing what he says, he turns his head slightly blushing, "Don't let me complimenting you get to your head. I still need all that work from you that Mokuba assigned." Kaiba then says bitterly.

'Wha-? What was the sudden change of tone??'

"I'm sorry. I appreciate the compliment though. My imagination is my key to everything pretty much." I giggle, giving him a smile. I reach for my glass of champagne, bringing in to my lips as I start to sip it.

Kaiba just smirks, "Everything you say??"

"..."

PFFFFFFFFFFTTTTT

I spat my drink to the side on the floor, giving him a ballistic look. "What's that suppose to mean?" My heart starts speeding up, my face feeling hot.

'I can't believe THE CEO just said that to me?! As if it was nothing!'

Kaiba just chuckles, pulling a handkerchief out of his  pocket. He stretches his arm over the small table between us and gently wipes my chin and cheeks for me.

We're now just staring at each other.

'How can this man...be so rude, yet so attractive!?'
