I stood there in utter disbelief.  *What is going on?*  
"Hello Lynn."  He stood and pulled out my chair for me.  I sat as he pushed me in.  I eyed him curiously and wondered what this was about.  
"So you're the one who sent the flowers then," I said, nervously trying to start a conversation.
"Yes.  I hope you liked them."
"Oh yes, they were beautiful." I said as I hid my red face behind the menu.  A waiter came and took our orders and for a while we just sat and sipped our water.  "Was there any particular reason you asked me to dinner tonight?"  I glanced over at him and could swear there was a hint of pink across his face.
"...No, I just wanted to go out to a nice dinner with a friend."  I looked at him.  It was then that I noticed what he was wearing: a white jacket with matching pants and a light blue button-up shirt with a blue tie.  *Man, he looks good.  The blue really brings out his eyes.*  Our food had arrived.  He ordered a steak and I got the salmon.  We ate in silence for some time.  Then Seto broke the silence, "You… look really nice."  
I couldn't help but smile. "Thank you.  You look really good too."  We went back to eating.  I noticed him watching me as I glanced over at him every few seconds.  After we had finished, the check came.  I fumbled through my purse to find my wallet.  "It's on me."  Seto looked at me with his misty blue eyes.
"Thank you."  
After we got through the door and were out on the sidewalk I said, "You know, you didn't have to pay for me.  I really don't mind--"
"I was the one who invited you to dinner, so I should be the one to pay."  He turned to me and said, "I really like you Lynn." his cheeks turned the lightest shade of pink as he took a step closer.  He waited for me to respond.
"I-I really like you too." He looked relieved.  My face felt hot and was as red as a stop sign.
"Would you like to come back to my house for dessert?"
"Yes, I'd love to."  I tried not to sound too eager.  Seto called his driver.  The car came around the corner and he opened the door for me.  It was a quiet ride to Kaiba Mansion.  All I could think about was Kaiba sitting next to me, his hand resting on the seat between us.  It was tempting to reach out and grab it.  I tried to be subtle.  I slowly scooted my hand an inch closer.  But then the car pulled up to the house and the driver came around to open the door.  We got out and Seto led me up the stairs to the door.  It was a large wooden door, as to be expected at a mansion.  He pushed the door open to reveal a large room with a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.  "The kitchen's this way."  I followed him down a long corridor.  The kitchen was really nice.  It had all of the latest appliances.  I stood as Seto opened the freezer.  Mokuba entered the room.  "Seto!  You're back!"  He came around to face me.  "Hi, I'm Mokuba.  You must be Lynn."  He smiled as we shook hands.  I looked over at Seto and saw that he had gotten out all of the ingredients and fixings for an ice cream sundae.  
"There.  I think that's everything," Seto said as he handed me and Mokuba spoons.  He pulled out a drawer and took out an ice cream scoop.  He gave everyone a scoop of each flavor:  vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate.  I added a few walnuts and some chocolate and caramel syrup to my bowl.  Mokuba covered his with mounds of sprinkles.  Seto only added caramel, walnuts, and a few cherries.  Seto grabbed his bowl and began to walk out of the kitchen, "Follow me."  Mokuba and I picked up our bowls and followed him.  We went up a flight of stairs and down a long hallway.  Seto paused to open a door.  We followed him in.  For a moment I thought we had gone into a library.  There were bookshelves everywhere, all of them full.  It took me a minute to realize that they weren't books, but movies.  I stood there with my mouth wide open.  Mokuba looked at me and giggled.  Seto leaned over and said, "Pick one."  I walked down one of the isles.  I walked slowly so that I could look at each movie title.  I had a really hard time choosing.  I could have looked all night, but I didn't want our ice cream to melt so I ended up picking "Majesty."
*I own nothing but the plot.
