Chapter-2
"Come on, Vinnie, we don't wanna be late!"
Vincent winced at his friend's high pitched voice, "Late? We just have to pass it on to them."
Yuffie turned around to face him with a huge grin plastered on her face, "Hey, Vinnie, you admit that you like that name…Vinnie..Vinnie…Vinnie…Vi…!!"
Vincent rolled his eyes. She's so…well, idiotic? No, childlike. That's it, she's too childish for a girl of her age. And thinking he had a crush on her when he first saw her, it feels so stupid, though not impossible.
His train of thoughts was cut short when Yuffie started dragging him by his arm, "I wonder if Cloud has brought that amazing, glowing, ball-shaped camera he got on his birthday. Damn. I gotta get my hands on it!"
Tifa scanned the classroom for her ever-hyper friend, Yuffie. Yuffie's usually around when she reaches the class, but, today, she's nowhere around.
Tifa was about to ask some of the girls about Yuffie, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to find Zack.
"Long time no see. We're in the same class and, yet, you never give me a shot.", he grinned. Zack was Cloud's bestfriend. He was kind of emo with his raven hair and beautiful features, and ever emo, dark clothes.
Tifa smiled, "Heh...sorry. I didn't mean to ignore you."
"Its kay', I lived. You're looking for your overactive friends? Cause' they ain't here."
"Yeah,actually, only Yuffie.", she replied goofily.
Zack nodded, "Anyways, you look alluring in that short nightdress."
Tifa didn't know whether to blush or be surprised. How did he know that she had a short nightdress?
"Uh….how did you….?"
Zack closed his eyes and smirked, "I thought you'd figure that out yourself."
Then, it hit her. Reno saw in their property last night, but, his house is pretty far from her's, and his car has been taken in by the police for breaking too many rules, so, someone must have been with him last night to drive him to her house. And it was Zack.
"I get it now….hey, there's Yuffie and Vincent!"
Tifa saw Yuffie and Vincent enter the class.
Zack looked over his shoulder, "Well, I should be going, then. Catch ya later!"
"Yeah.", Tifa said making her way to Yuffie and Vincent.
"Hey, Teef, guess what, Bexie Whipp is having a summer party and she just cordially invited us!", Yuffie exclaimed.
"Us?", Tifa asked, raising one of her perfectly shaped eyebrow.
"I mean me, you, Vinnie and Cloud! Her parties are really fun!! I can't wait!!!!", exclaimed the petite girl.
There was a fake 'ahem'.
Tifa and Yuffie turned to Vincent. Tifa had almost forgotten that he was standing there.
"Yeah…yeah, I didn't forget..", Yuffie said, waving her hand carelessly at him.
She turned to Tifa again, " Bexie asked me to inform you guys. Its day after tomorrow,", she, again, turned to Vincent, ", Is the Majesty satisfied?"
Vincent answered with a curt nod.
Tifa thought they were really cute. Both of them were completely opposites, on one hand, Yuffie was hyper, loud, childlike and kind of immature, and very open about her feelings. And, on the other hand, Vincent was calm, secretive, silent, elder-kind of, and, often, kept to himself. Tifa always wondered how they stay put together with all those differences. Guess, its all on one's way of thinking.
Tifa was forced out of her thoughts when strong arms hugged her from behind.
"Lost like always.", Cloud murmured in her ear.
Tifa slipped away from him, " Ahh…look who's talking."
Cloud didn't get to argue on it as the teacher entered the room and everyone took their seats.
Cloud browsed through the channels, none of the 999 channels catching his interest. Finally, he decided to stop at a movie, the Exosist. Horror flicks always caught his eye.
He positioned himself more comfortably on the couch, spreading his leg so that he occupied the whole couch.
After a while, Tifa came in, "Granpa called. Stuck at some meeting in India."
Cloud strained his head to look at her direction, " So?"
Tifa took a seat near the couch and started sipping on an Appy bottle, "So, he said that he didn't know when he'll be back, but, said that it will take sometime."
"Sometime?"
Tifa nodded, "Some two-three days…."
"You're lying! That's like a dream come true!!", Cloud exclaimed, wide eyed.
Tifa simply continued sipping Appy, "Suit yourself."
Cloud tapped the place near him. Tifa looked at him questioningly.
He tapped the place again. Then, Tifa understood what he was saying.
She got up and sat on the couch.
Cloud pulled her nearer so that both of them were in a horizontal position.
They watched the movie for a while, Tifa shivering at some of the scary scenes, and Cloud laughing at some of the scenes which he thought were too funny to be scary.
Soon, Cloud turned off the television and was surprised to see Tifa asleep, snuggled into his chest.
He thought she looked adorable, like a baby, so, he decided not to intude her sleep. He shifted a little and wrapped her in his arms.
He had been in the same position through out the movie and as a result, his neck and butt pained.
While shifting, his gaze fell on her angelic face. She looked so peaceful. Those long, dark lashes closed in a calming manner.
Her cute button nose lead to her perfectly sculptured red lips.
It reminded him of cherries, he didn't know why. He wondered how those cherry lips would taste, and he, suddenly, had the urge to find out.
He closed in on her face, their lips, not touching my just an inch. He could feel her warm breaths on his face, it gave him a strange kind of pleasure.
He leaned a little more and their lips touched gently.
Just as they made contact, he drew back abruptly, as if it were on fire.
What was he doing?! For god's sake, she's his sister!
He ran his hands through his hair. 'I should go get some fresh air.'
Tifa's sleep broke. The phone was ringing.
She, sleepily, got up and received the call, "Hello?"
"Hiya, Teef! I called to ask if you're gonna come to Bexie's party!"
Tifa could make out Yuffie was still very excited about it.
"I don't know, Yuffie. It depends on Cloud, if he goes, then I can go.", Tifa answered rubbing the sleep off her eyes.
"Awww…anyways, I hope that chocobo-head's gonna come, then.", Yuffie exclaimed.
Tifa could still hear her high pitched voice from this end of the line, and laughed at the nickname she gave Cloud.
"Yeah, I hope too."
"Okay, Teef, I gotta hang up now, see ya!", with that, Yuffie hung up.
Tifa slumped back on the couch feeling dizzy because of sleep.
"Talking of chocobo-head, where is he?", she wondered out loud. Cloud was there when she dozed off during the film, but, he wasn't there when she woke up.
Tifa got freshed and went out to find him, after searching the whole mansion for him.
She went through all the possible places he could be, but, he was nowhere to be seen.
While searching in the terrace, Tifa thought she heard something move on the roof. She got up the pipes, and stretched her head to see what it was.
And to her surprise, there was Cloud, dozed off. Yes, on the roof.
Tifa felt like bursting into a fit of laughter, but, thought better of it.
She climbed up the pipes , and on the roof. She silently made her way near him and sat beside him.
He was still asleep, and Tifa thought he looked really cute. It reminded her of the nights when they were still little kids. Whenever Tifa was sad or whenever she cried, she'd come up here, and Cloud used to come up and soothe her. She will always cherish those memories.
Suddenly, Tifa remembered the purpose she was finding Cloud for.
She lightly shook him, while calling his name, "Cloud, get up! Cloud!"
Cloud stirred for a while, and opened his eyes to find Tifa hovering over him. He sat upstraight, rubbing off the sleep.
Tifa let him take his time, and when he was done, she began, "Cloud, will we be going to Bexie's party day after tomorrow?"
"Don't tell me you woke me up only to ask that."
Tifa laughed nervously, "Well, I……"
Cloud rolled his eyes.
Anyways, he replied, "Ahh….must go, one of those days we get to meet all our friends, right?", he finished, with a smile.
Tifa smiled back, "Yeah.", and snuggled close to him as he wrapped an arm around her.
And under the clear blanket of night, the two watched the sparkling stars above……
"Hey, what do say we go have some ice cream?"
Tifa looked up from the magazine to stare at her brother. The last time, they went to have ice cream together, it was six years back on her birthday.
Tifa nodded, "Sure!", and they got up to leave.
Tifa jogged excitedly to the ice cream cart, Cloud followed close behind.
"A mint choco chip for me!", said Tifa to the man in the cart.
The man nodded before turning to Cloud.
"Vanilla will do.", he replied.
They marched to the bench under a huge Sakura tree, after taking their ice cream cones. They couldn't see the flowers clearly as it was late at night, but, they enjoyed notheless.
Both of them didn't talk, busy enjoying their ice creams.
"Been long…"
Tifa stopped licking her ice cream, and looked at him with a silly grin on her face, "Six years, old man!"
Cloud laughed.
"Old man, huh? I'll get you for that.", he said with a mischievious glint in his eyes.
"I'd like to see that!"
Cloud leaned licked the ice cream on her face.
Tifa made a face,"Eeewwww…!! Stop it!!!"
"Nope, you wanted to see, right? Well, see!", he replied, licking her other cheek.
"Ughhh….sure, you're my brother, but, seriously, stop it!!"
Cloud stopped, and smirked, "Call me old and you get the rest."
"Yeah, I get it,", she turned to the other side, "Old fellas, think they're…..", she murmured.
"Again?", Cloud made a fake stern face.
"Okay okay…!!"
