Two years before.

Tea threw her clothes on with tears streaming down her face. He tried to calm her as he wrapped his strong arms around her waist. She grabbed his hands and tossed them off. As she headed towards the door, but he reached it first.

"You can't go," he whispered.

"This is wrong," Tea said. "This isn't even a relationship. It took me way too long to realize that. I guess you saying you had a date was the hint. My mistake."

"This has been casual for over three months. Neither of us expected," he gestured to his half naked body, "this. If you want to go, I'm not going to stop you. It is your decision to make. I won't waste my time trying to convince you other wise."

She nodded. "It was nice to have someone talk about my new business with. We should have left it at that. I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize." He stepped out of the way and let her by.

She left without another word. She let her tears trail down her cheeks she didn't care if anyone saw. She just didn't care.

Is it wrong to dream of another man when I'm with someone already? I mean, I love him.
I think.

Tea rolled on to her side to look at Yugi who sleeping peacefully with one leg hanging over the side of the bed. She grinned, she couldn't help it. She climbed out of bed slowly and continued on with the usual routine. Joey was asleep on their living room couch, something that had been happening alot since he and Mai had gotten in to so many arguments. Tea placed a cloth under his mouth to protect the couch's fabric from being drooled on.

This is what I want right? A life with Yugi...

She poured herself a bowl of cereal as quietly as she could. Joey may be a heavy eater, but he was not a heavy sleeper when food was involved. Just the sound of the cereal hitting the bowl could wake him.

Tea tiptoed upstairs with the bowl of cereal. Just in time to hear Joey let out a big yawn, then she heard him mutter an 'Oh man'.

He still managed to drool on the couch. Everytime. She ate and dressed at the same time and gave Yugi a gentle kiss on the forehead.

I did the right thing.

She got into her car and headed into downtown Domino where her new clothing store had taken off. Her success was a complete surprise. Her female clothing store was a hit, but the male clothing store did even better, with her designs along with the designs of a few friends, she had managed to create a line of clothing far surpassing anything that she could imagine.

She entered the store as she did on any normal day. Everything was the usual, until she saw him standing there in the middle of the store. She thought that she could slip by before he saw her, but he must have felt her presence, because he turned to her immediately.

I didn't do the right thing. Not when my heart skips a beat everytime I see him.

He looked handsome just like he did that night two years before. The night she left him and her old ways behind.

He casually walked up to her and smirked. "It's been awhile."

"Yeah. Nice to see you Kaiba."
