"A Lonely September"

Chapter 2

Squall quickly drew his eyes away from the woman for the one reason .. It hurt too look at her "So do you have it ?" said Squall " Well here's the funny thing Squall" said Rinoa "You Didn't bring it did you !?" ……. they stood looking at each other for a moment " No…. I'm so sorry Squall I forgot all about it …I ..I was in a rush for the train I forgot to pick it up off the dresser and … and I didn't tell ' The General ' where I was going".

"why the hell am I standing here then … I could be training right now" Rinoa perked up … " Yes I know you could be training right now but I'm sorry is that ok" firstly Squall couldn't believe that she knew what he was thinking and secondly no it wasn't ok because he had no reason to be with Rinoa and standing around saying nothing didn't help.

"Yes" Squall lied in all fairness he had to … he was still in love with this girl and all he didn't want to get mad at her and lose her as a friend as well as a lover his life would be in pieces and Squall being this strong leader this 'Lone Wolf' would not be strong enough to pick them up by himself.

"Ok then Rinoa just …. Get it to me whenever you can" as Squall walked Away he felt a slight tug on his arm "Erghhh what now !" he thought to himself. Her eyes were staring directly into his she grasped his arm with both hands. "Squall ? I thought we could at least spend sometime together as….friends ? ". Those words sent a horrible chill down Squall's body much like when you lose a close possession or you find out someone has died it makes you shiver in disgust. Obviously this was because Squall didn't want to be friends at all he wanted to take Rinoa and hold and kiss her as long as he physically could he wanted so much yet he asked for so little all he wanted was the woman he loved by his side.

Squall being dull in the romantics department said "…..whatever" Rinoa's face lit up "Really ? I'd want that more than anything in the world …. But where do you want to go Squall". Nastily Squall ran some ideas through his head "space" "to sleep" "err hell ….actually no I feel like I'm already there" "I don't mind" said Squall. "Ok then how about you take me to the ice cream shop around the block we can have a walk and get ice cream" Said Rinoa "Brilliant a walk ….I'm shaking with excitement" Squall Thought to himself.

They exited the bar and walked outside the streets were abyss with merchants and business men scurrying about with there usual daily business. Squall had taken some leave from command of garden due to .. The loss of Rinoa headmaster cid might be dull but he knows exactly how you feel. Rinoa held onto Squalls arm …. It might be wrong but it felt so right to him . Squall was daydreaming about how they used to hold each other but was soon disturbed by a jab to the ribs "Hey ignorant come on" Squall was dragged around the corner onto the main street.

"Still plain chocolate right ?" said Rinoa to Squall. Squall turned to Rinoa thinking "what the hell are you going on about?" " ICED …CREAM… Mr.Leonhart You Like Plain Chocolate Still Yeah ?" "……Yeah Sure" said a confused Squall.

"What the hell am I doing … this is just going to make me miss her more"… Rinoa rested her head on his shoulder .. "JESUS ! Why are you teasing me like this ….." "Rinoa what do you think going for ice cream will solve ?" "What do you mean there isn't anything to solve were friends through and through !" Said Rinoa " So you rest your head on Irvine Or Zell when your just walking around ?" "………Sometimes ..This conversation is pointless so be quiet and lets not spoil our day ok Squall" Said Rinoa "Our day … I was supposed to be getting my damn ring and leaving I don't even want the ring …. I just wanna go this is torment….".
