"Two more drinks Tifa!"

"Coming right up!" As I mix the drinks, I can't help but think about him.

Rufus Shinra has been going to my bar everyday now, coming in every morning for coffee and then after work for a drink. After you get to know him, he isn't as bad as everybody thinks. Sure, he's a bit arrogant at times but also very thoughtful.

When I was sick one day, he told the turks to take over the bar until I was better and brought me medicine. That was the day I probably fell for him.

People might think me crazy for falling in love with a Shinra but I can't help it. I wonder if he cares for me too. I mean, he's always hanging around my bar and sometimes even flirts with me. I hope I can find the courage to confess my feelings before it's too late.

"There, done." I gave the customer his drink, "Thanks Tifa."

I was about to go back to mixing drinks when I heard a familiar voice, "Business doing well?"

"You could say that." I gave him my best smile.

Rufus smiled back, "Well, that's good to hear."

He smiled at me! It's usually just a smirk I get, but this time, it's a real smile! Maybe I am crazy but that smile boosted up my confidence and I had no control over what happened next.

"Rufus, aishiteru." strangely enough, my confession came out in Japanese. It must be all the anime I'm watching. Maybe it's a good thing. I would have embarrassed myself anyways.

"Pardon me?" Rufus looked really confused.

"OH sorry, sometimes I just blurt things out in Japanese."

"So what does it mean?"

Should I tell him? Nah. "It means 'what would you like to drink?'"

"Oh, the usual, coffee."

I gave him his coffee and it was only after he left that I was able to breath properly. Tifa, never ever confess in a language the person you like don't know. Geez!

Ahh, coffee. Can't survive without it in the morning. Hmm…aishiteru? Since when did Tifa learn Japanese? Must be all the anime she's watching.

"hey Reeve, aishiteru?"

"Woah, President Shinra, I didn't know you felt that way about me." Reeve's face was on a balance of surprise and fear.

"You know Japanese? Well I just asked you what would you like to drink." I said in a matter-of-fact tone

"President Shinra, my apologies for correcting you but I know Japanese, and you just told me you love me."

"Really? Err…forget I just said that." I love you? But Tifa said…ahh I get it now.

"Reeve, turn this car around, we're going back to Seventh Heaven." I had a huge grin on my face that I couldn't wipe off.

Can't this car go any faster?

After this person, I think I'll take a break. Gahh, I'm still thinking about that confession. Why did I have to do something so stupid? He's gonna come back after work and it's going to be awkward, well for me anyways.

I heard the door bell chime.

"Sorry, we're close for the-" Rufus?!?! What is he doing back here? Shouldn't he be at work?

"Oh, um…h-hi. What are you d-doing back here?" Trying my hardest not to stutter.

"Tifa?"

"yes?" I stared at him wide eye.

"Aishiteru too."
