Cloud woke up. He peered round to expect to find Tifa lying next to him. He sat up, not knowing were she had gone. He heard someone in the kitchen. So Cloud got up and walked into the kitchen. He found Tifa sitting in a chair looking at him.
"Cloud, I tried to tell you but…" Tifa started.
"But what?" Cloud asked looking puzzled.
"Last night don't you remember?" Tifa asked back.
"Tifa, what am I supposed to be remembering here?" Cloud asked her, ignoring what she had said.
"Last night you said, you needed me for something, you didn't tell me what, but after that we went to bed," Tifa explained.
Cloud turned around to see a picture of him and Tifa with Marlene and Denzel standing next to them. Cloud picked up the photo.
"Do you remember when Aerith died?" Cloud asked her.
"Yeah, I know you loved her and all but you never really told me anything," Tifa replied. Cloud smiled remembering Aerith.
"Tif, I didn't love her… I loved you," Cloud told her. Tifa closed her eyes. She had a feeling something was going to go horribly wrong. Cloud walked out the room. He walked slowly into the bedroom. He layed down on the bed. Tifa sighed.
"Cloud, you know… I have always loved you," Tifa said. Cloud sat up.
"The only problem is you are locking your self out on all of us, especially me!" Tifa called.
"Tifa you don't get it, me and you are something I don't lock myself out, I have told you everything about me," Cloud called back. Tifa got up out of the chair and walked into the bedroom.
"The problem with you is that you can't understand me and you find it difficult to let me in so I can understand." Cloud shook his head. Tifa looked at him with a feeling of guilt flowing through her.
"Tifa, I'm sorry," Cloud told her. Cloud saw a tear run down her face.
"Don't cry, Tif, please don't," Cloud said trying to make her stop.
"I'm…sorry…I just can't help but notice…you are the only one for me," Tifa told him. Cloud felt a tear run down his face.
Tifa Lockheart,
You are the only one for me, you have life flowing through you and I don't have that, this will tell you what I feel. I feel that I love you and I hope you feel the same way,
From Cloud.STifa found this by her bed in the morning.
P.S. Don't forget I have a surprise for you later.
Tifa smiled. She started to giggle and made her way back to sleep.
