Another chapter is upon us readers! Fast forward a couple weeks to Valentine's Day! What
will happen here?

Chapter 4: Love

Seto and I have been talking everyday, sometimes twice a day. Everyone at work said that
I've changed for the better because I seem overall, happy.

Our relationship...I mean friendship is extremely tight. I never thought that we would become
such great friends.

I finally 'saw' Seto a week ago. He's nothing like his brother, Noa. Seto is cute in his way,
but Noa is just handsome. Anyways, today is Valentine's Day. I'm so excited. Seto said he's
coming over. I got him a card telling him Happy Valentine's Day.

'ding ding dong'

I run to the door and peek out and see Seto standing on the other side with a card and is
that a teddy?

I open the door and invite Seto into the living room. He looks around nervously... Oh yea,
this is his first time here.

Mom comes from her room and sits on the sofa opposite of the one Seto's on.

"Hello Seto-kun. I've heard so much about you."

"Hello Jounouchi-san. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Now tell me, how old are you?"

"Me, I'm 25."

"25?!" exclaims okaa-san. "You look so much younger. I thought you were around 21.
Don't you know my son is just 19."

"Yes Jounouchi-san."

"Ok. I'm going to leave the two of you here." she gets up and goes towards her bedroom.
"Oh yea, Jou, be respectful to your guest."

I grumble and growl as she goes back to her room.

"Be nice to your mother, Jou."

"I am. She just says the wrong things at the wrong time. I think she gets a kick out of
embarassing me." I say turning on the TV to the movie channel.

"Mothers do that. So, don't worry about it."

"I have something for you Seto." I say reaching under the sofa we were on and pulling out
the card.

"Thanks." he says taking the card from me and handing me his card and teddy. "This is
for you."

"Wow...I now wish I could have gotten you something else with the card."

"Nah. This is more than enough Jou."

I smile as he puts his arm around me and pulls me close.

We watch part of another movie before he asks me what time it was.

"9:45. Do you have to go?"

"Yea. I do. I have to be to work at 5am."

"5?! I thought it was 6."

"It was 6, but I have to set up some stuff for the shift."

"Ohh, so you're in a leadership type position?"

He looks at me uncertainly. "Yea. You can say that. I am the owner of KaibaCorp..."

"That right... And that was another blond moment bought to you by Jounouchi Katsuya."

He gets up and goes to the door.

"I'll call you when I get home Jou, ok."

"Ok. But Seto?"

"Yea?"

"You can call me Katsuya if you wish. I would like you to call me that."

He slightly smiles..."No problem, Katsuya. I'll talk to you when I get home."

"Drive safely."

He nods before walking to his car.

I sit on the couch and hug the teddy.

"Someone's in love I see." okaa-san says to me as she stands in the door.

I look at her, feeling my face becoming as red as the blood flowing throughout me.

She goes back into her room. About 15 minutes later the phone rings.

"Jou! Telephone!" yells okaa-san.

I get the phone and go to my room.

"Moshi moshi."

"Katsuya? I just called to tell you that I made it home safely."

"I'm glad you did."

"I had a nice time with you tonight. I hope we can do that more often. Thanks for the
card. It's really thoughtful."

"Thank you for your teddy and card. I'm going to let you go, so you can go to bed. I
don't want you to oversleep!" I say.

"No. That wouldn't be good! I'll talk to you tomorrow ok Katsuya. I...Iloveyou."

"I love you too, Seto. Ja ne."

"Ja ne."

I hang up the phone and fall back on my bed. Wait...did we just admit that we loved
each other?! I didn't notice! I was so caught up in hearing his amazing voice...

Seto...Kaiba...

I guess I do love you.

From that night, everytime we would talk, we would say we love each other before we
hung up or departed ways.

I had been in relationships before, but never nothing like this.
