“Why is that?” Victoria asked, feeling a pang in her chest. He’d never even mentioned her?
                          
“If work took a heap of my life up then I wouldn’t want to bring my family to work – I’d keep them at home where they should be. I’d keep them to myself, you know.” Téa replied.
                          
Victoria lowered her eyes to the menu, deciding to just pick something.
                          
“Tori…I wish you had told me…I wouldn’t have…I mean…”
                          
Victoria sighed. “Do you love him?” She asked flatly. The question hurt her to ask, but it was important.
                          
Téa looked down, fidgeting with the menu. “Well…he hasn’t exactly given me a lot of room to work out if it is love or not, to be honest…he kind of pulled that stunt on me the other day when you walked in on us.”
                          
“Then work it out quickly. I’ll accept it if it is love. If it is not then I will continue to be angry with the both of you.” Victoria stated. “For that matter, Seto should seriously work out his feelings too…” She muttered, more thinking it to herself.
                          
A waitress came to them then and they ordered their small meals and waited patiently until the waitress went back to the kitchens until Victoria continued.
                          
Victoria sighed. “Just so you know, he’s not exactly good at that so you may have to confront him.”
                          
“And you can’t because…?”
                          
“Because he didn’t make a move on me, Téa.” Victoria replied. “Confront him the next you see him and work out where his heart lies. If he was only taking advantage of you – and if that is the case I would have to find a way to dismantle him piece by piece – then I would suggest quitting your job. And I would suggest that even if your boss wasn’t my brother.”
                          
“Yes, I have asked him to meet up with me later today.”
                          
“Another warning, when he dropped by the other day he seemed to genuinely think that what you have is a relationship.” Victoria explained. “He said, and I quote: ‘aren’t you glad that I am in a relationship?’.”
                          
She was broken hearted, but there was a part of her – now that she was with her – that couldn’t hate Téa. If anything, Téa had become an unsuspecting victim to her brother’s hormones. That thought frightened her, but enough said being that her brother was still a man.
                          
“He said that?...” Téa asked softly, blushing.
                          
“So you like him?”
                          
“Huh?”
                          
“That question sounded hopeful.”
                          
Téa flushed deeper. “Well…I’m sure you agree that he’s attractive. It’s hard not to look at him and think that he’d be a great guy to date.”
                          
“Until he glares at you.” Victoria contradicted.
                          
Téa chuckled lightly. “Yeah, I’ve witnessed that.” He agreed. “He’s not always nice, but I’ve seen him with Mokuba before and I’m aware that a soft side exists.”
                          
“It’ll be a while until he’ll project that kindness to you. I’m afraid that I know by experience.” Victoria explained. “But if Mokuba is fond of you he’ll make more of an effort to be kind. He wouldn’t want to make Mokuba mad at him.
                          
“Well, I’m already on good terms with Mokuba. I’ve noticed that he’s very different to Kaiba.”
                          
Victoria nodded in agreement.
                          
Their food soon arrived and the conversation dissolved as the two girls focused their attention on the food on their plates. Victoria had run out of things to say already, she didn’t know how long she would be able to last now that she was definitely going to be with Téa for at least another half hour or so. She hated awkward silences and it wasn’t like she had anything in her life to share – Téa knew just about all of it already.
