A young man with blonde spiked hair waited anxiously outside a condominium door.
'How much more longer?' Cloud thought.
Suddenly the door flew open.
"Cloud! I've missed you! Come in!" A long haired brunette said happily.
"Tifa, it's so good to see you again," Cloud said as she embraced him in a hug.
'She looks so good when she wears booty shorts and tight tanks,' Cloud thought as he gazed at her.
"I miss looking at that nice body and beautiful face you have," he complimented.
"You don't look bad either." Tifa said as she stared at his chiseled body in the wife beater he apparently had on. "You're still the lady's man, I assume."
"We both know there's only one girl for me," Cloud leaned closer to Tifa.
"Your charm won't work."
"It worked two years ago."
"We were sixteen, Cloud," Tifa replied.
"Don't tell me you forgot. All those unforgettable nights, you couldn't have possibly forgotten."
Tifa giggled, "Whatever, Cloud. I bet you've spent nights like those with more women than I can think of."
"Ouch, that hurts. And honestly, you're wrong. I may be a flirt, but I'm not a player."
"That's what they all say," Tifa gave back.
"You know what we had was real. I'd give anything to get it back, to get you back."
"Cloud, you broke my heart.," Tifa remarked.
"I grew up, Tifa. And being away from you for so long did something to me. None of the girls I've met weren't as close to being as special as you are," Cloud brushed her cheek. Tifa moved away as her eyes started to water.
"Well, let me show you around."
'Why can't I get over him?'
"Tifa…"
"You could find yourself around the condo, right?"
"I'm really sorry," Cloud said. "I made a big mistake leaving you in Nibelheim. I wasn't thinking, I was so confused…"
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore. You're right, that's the past, where it should stay, where us should stay."
"Tifa, Zack died right in front of my eyes. My best friend. What was I supposed to do?" Cloud rose his voice.
"And I'm really sorry for that. I cared about him, too. But you could've come to me. You didn't, you left the damn city," tears started to come out of Tifa's eyes.
"Tifa…" Cloud tried to hold her.
"You should get your stuff before it gets dark," Tifa began to walk to her room. "Your key is by the microwave."
"Yeah, thanks."
'Damn it! Why did I have to be so stupid! I lost the most important person in my life.'
