Give Me Mercy [Book 1]

Mercy Fortuna #7

[[A/N: LAST PREWRITTEN CHAPTER..so there wont be an upload for a while.  I have a few other books I now have to work on that I've been neglecting.... also there may not be much Seto POV because I've been having technical difficulties as writing as a guy...]]

*Mercy's POV*

After two weeks of having to stay in Kaiba's house doing absolutely nothing, I was actually excited to go back to school.

Nobody had come to visit me, but I think that's because they hate Kaiba, not that they wanted nothing to do with me. Since I had no clothes, Kaiba had sent me out with a driver and bodyguard to the mall to shop with his credit card after just a week of staying there. He told me to buy anything I wanted, however I didn't feel comfortable doing that so I didn't end up with much.

One pair of pajamas, three pairs of jeans, five T-shirts, seven pairs of underwear, one dress, one pair of shorts, and a hoodie plus some socks and a pair of converse. I'd only bought that much becuase whenever I thought to go home, the driver would send me right back in to buy more on Mr. Kaiba's orders...

Even then, when that was all I came home with, Kaiba didn't look very happy, but then again he usually didn't unless he was with Mokuba. I had begun to gain weight, which tended to happen when I can actually eat whatever I want whenever I want.

It was so nice at Mr. Kaiba's home, everyone was so very sweet but I still tried to stay in my room reading about computers and anything to do with technology. I was kind of a geek when it came to that stuff, I absorbed it like a sponge.

Kaiba had a lot of books about the subject, since he designed all the things that his company produces. He's really smart, so I never could understand why he was even still in school. I'd like to ask him but I haven't built up the courage.

Not that I've even had the chance, the only times we talk are when I'm asking for a new book, or he's asking how I feel. He goes to school, and has tons of work, he doesn't eat dinner with anyone else. He's always stuck in his office!

In fact... he should take a day off.

Being Sunday, today would be the perfect day, and tomorrow I have to go back to school, so maybe we can do something today.

With that idea in mind I made my way to his room, and knocked before I lost my sudden spike of bravery.

"Come in" a voice called from the other side, loud and commanding

"Mr. Kaiba" I nodded my head to him in greetings.  The smell of his room wafted over me, soft yet distinctly masculine.  It made my stomach flip uncomfortably and my heart beat speed up.

"Please stop calling me that, Mercy. My name is Seto, now what do need?"

"Um...I was wondering if maybe..." I lost my nerve right then, "you know what, never mind, forget it. I'm sorry for disrupting you!" I muttered as I turned to leave the masculine scented room.

"Wait" he spoke, so quietly that I barely heard him. "What would you like, Mercy? You don't have to be scared, I told you anything you need, just ask."

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself.

"I was wondering if we could maybe go out somewhere. You look like you could use a break, and I'm sure Mokuba would like to go. Maybe to the movies, or mall or something" I stared at the ground, working hard to keep my face impassive as I trailed off, waiting eager and nervous for his answer.

"I'm sorry, Mercy, I can't, I've got too much work to do, but you and Mokuba can go if you'd like. I'll give you my credit card for whatever you want to get" I simply nodded my head, not looking up.
