HELLO IT HAS BEEN A LONG WHILE WELL I'M BACK WITH SOME LOVE AND ADVENTURE, CAN 'T REALLY SAY TOO MUCH, I DON'T OWN ANY CHARACTERS.
It was four o'clock finally time for Tifa to go home, she stood up and let her dark brown hair fall to her back. She straightened out her burgundy blouse and black slacks before grabbing her purse and walking out of the sliding doors.
It was beautiful out, one of those days you just never want to forget, the sun was beaming warm ray hitting her porcelain skin, Fresh air flowing in and out of her nose giving her a natural high. She continued to walk down the street towards her home. She couldn't help but to let herself be hypnotized, embracing the air around her, walking with her nose tilted upright to inhale more. Until something no someone stopped her in her tracks. She had walked straight into the back of some poor man, silk shirt rubbing against her face, cool water cologne penetrating her nose before the momentum sent her to the concrete rear first.
"I'm so sorry." She shyly taking the hand stretched out to her.
"It's alright are you okay?" the man asked deep sultry voice ringing in her ears.
"Um… yeah! I'm fine."
He offered her a smile as she looked up. Her eyes finally meeting his eyes; warm, blue, and striking was all she saw. Tifa found herself getting lost in them, after she noticed she was staring a cast of pink washed over her cheeks.
"Hey you're hurt!"
Tifa looked down at the small amount of blood running from her elbow. "I'm fine really."
"Well at least let me make sure that you make it home okay?"
Tifa looked down blushing once more, "okay."
Tifa wasn't really one to let a stranger walk her home but he seemed nice and was kind of cute.
"Um… I'm Cloud… Cloud Strife."
"I'm Tifa Lockheart."
"The pleasure is mine."
They began walking sharing many laughs and smiles, Tifa had to admit it was quite refreshing, and soon they were standing in front of a brick two level home.
"This is me." Tifa said pointing to the house tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
Cloud nodded and smiled, "okay."
Tifa began to walk the rock path leading to her door step.
"Hey Tifa," Cloud called to her "do you think I could call you sometime?"
Tifa turned around to face him, wind blowing her hair behind her.
"Sure, I would like that."
Tifa dug into her purse pulling out a white business card and handed it to Cloud. Cloud gave her a smile and waved before walking off and leaving Tifa to enter her own home. Blushing with a smile on her face she shut the door to her home behind her she pressed her back against the oak door and sighed.
"TIFA GOTTA BOYFRIEND!"
"Yuffie what are you doing in my house?"
The younger woman stood finger on her lip like she was thinking. Bobbed hair framing her round face, suddenly she jumped up.
"The same thing I always do Tifa, I raid your house for food."
Tifa just walked past her leaving her with a dumb looked on her face, she slightly regretted the day she gave her a spare key. She knew any time Yuffie supposedly raided her house for food that meant she needed somewhere to stay. So much for alone time Tifa thought to herself. Once Tifa made it to the comfort of her room she walked into the bathroom to run her a warm bath, she removed her work clothes and tossed them into a purple bin. She made her way to the tub introducing her body to water toe first. She relaxed, immediately letting out a deep breath she hadn't realized she was holding in. the small cut stung a little but not enough to bother her but enough to make her think of Cloud, she sank deeper into the water letting it reach the nape of her neck.
Tifa had been in the water for too long now her finger tips becoming more and more like raisins by the minute. She decided that she should remove herself from the tub. Tifa then started to dry her body from head to toe. Tifa then got dressed putting on a black tank top and jean shorts. She brushed her long silky hair and tied it into a pony tail. She looked at the door that lead to the hallway and decided to go down stairs to entertain Yuffie. She had known Yuffie since grade school. She could still remember how they met just like it was yesterday: some boy named Reno had stolen Yuffie's teddy and Tifa had retrieved it for her and taught Reno a lesson, after that Yuffie wouldn't leave her side she would come sit with her at recess. Yuffie was a year younger than her at 23, and even though Yuffie was annoying at times she still loved her. Tifa reminisced as she walked down the stairs. She found Yuffie lying on her tan colored lazy boy watching a rerun of cartoons. Tifa sat down on the couch next to her.
"So what have you been up to Yuffie?" Tifa asked as she kicked her feet up.
"Nothing just tired of working so I'm taking a little R and R you know?"
Tifa fixed her posture leaning forward elbows now on her knees. "So you are only going to be here for a week?" Tifa gave her another funny look as she took her previous position.
"Hey! Don't give me that look; do I ever overstay my welcome?"
Tifa gave her another look "Yes, every time you stay you manage to stay much longer than planned."
Yuffie tapped her finger on her temple. "Ha ha… I guess you're right."
"I already knew that."
"That's cuz I love you sooo much I can't leave ya."
"Yep… if that is what helps you sleep at night."
They both laughed.
"So who is tall blond and spiky?"
Tifa smiled I just bumped into him on the way home."
"And…?"
"And nothing he just walked me home is all."
"Sure." Yuffie gave her a look "And that's why you gave him ya number because you want him to be you walk buddy. What is his name anyway?"
"Cloud Strife." Tifa said cheeks red.
Yuffie changed the topic.
"Well this conversation is making me hungry. What's for dinner?"
"How about take out?"
"Sounds good to me."
The next couple of hours went by fast, dinner was good, Yuffie was loud and excited as always till she got tired. It was ten o'clock now and Tifa was surprisingly tired too. She prepared herself for work and then bed her eyes shut and she was sleeping.
