Chapter 4: Decision
When Rinoa got out of her bathroom, she was surprised to see Squall still sitting on the bed, deep in thought.
"Squall..?"
Upon hearing Rinoa's voice, Squall was snapped out of his thought.
"Oh, Rinoa, could you please come and sit beside me? I got something to discuss with you." Squall said.
Rinoa walked towards the bed and sat beside Squall, rather uneasily.
"I had been thinking for the past minutes and finally I had come to a decision." Squall started
"What is it?" Rinoa asked.
"I had decided that since we had just know each other for less than a day, why don't we give each one of us sometime to understand each other? I mean, at least we will not feel that uneasy next time..."
"You mean no wedding night?" Rinoa blurred out excitedly. Upon saying it, Rinoa blushed furiously and mumbled her apology.
"Is all right Rinoa. We shall called it a day now. Unless situation calls it or that you are ready, I will not force you to do this. Trust me, it is also uneasy for me too."
Rinoa hugged Squall and said "Thank you Squall, you never know how much this meant to me"
Squall released Rinoa's tight grip and said "No need. Just remember, if the counsel asked you anything about this night, just said that well, we had did it. They will not be happy about it if they knew what exactly happened this night. This is between us, all right?"
"Yes Squall, I promised."
With that, both of them went to sleep. But, instead of sleeping close to each other, they each slept at the end of the King's size bed, away from each other. Perhaps, this was the start of the understanding between both of them.
Next morning...
Rinoa woke up to see that Squall was not at the side of the bed anymore. Instead, she found a note beside her.
Dear Rinoa,
I had went for a morning exercise at the garden located near the hall. If anything happen, you can find me there. Remember, tell no one about this incident including your new maid in waiting, Sharon. I will back for breakfast.
Squall
Wow, I didn't know that Squall can be quite considerate. Rinoa thought.
Maybe I will grow to like him a better... Her thought was interrupted when she heard someone knocking.
"Who is it?" Rinoa shouted.
"Your highness, is me, your new maid in waiting Sharon." Sharon, the maid replied.
Rinoa was about to let her come in when she realised that the bed was a bit too tidy after a wedding night. With that, Rinoa messed up the bed, making a impression that something did happen last night and then, sat on the bed, looking tired and asked Sharon to come in.
"You may come in" Rinoa said.
Upon entering the room, Sharon looked shocked and thought
Wow, something really great happened last night. No wonder Princess Rinoa looked so tired. Maybe I should not disturb her...
"You need any help Princess?" Sharon asked.
"Nothing, just, let me rest for a few more minutes." Rinoa answered tiredly. Taking the hint, Sharon left the room.
That was really close, I hope she will not tell anyone about it. Otherwise, she might embarrass Squall. Rinoa thought. After laying on the bed and pondered about the things happened and then, left the room for breakfast after taking a shower and tidied the bed on her own.
At the dining hall...
"So, how's last night?" Laguna asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Rinoa dropped her spoon and looked at him shocked.
Moron, why just couldn't he asked other questions? Squall thought.
"Dad, this is rather personal, so, don't asked." Squall replied politely to his father, as his sister, Ellone was around and he did not want any lecture on how he should respect his father better from Ellone. True, he liked Ellone but when it came to lecturing him on respecting his father, he did not want to hear anything about.
"Yes, dad, it is very personal and you don't want to scare Rinoa away on the first day of our breakfast together, right?" Ellone said to ease some tension away.
"You are right," Laguna grinned. "I should have asked better questions."
YOU SHOULD Squall screamed in his mind.
Rinoa was glad that she would not have to answer this rather uneasy question.
"Then, where will you guys be going to on your 1 month honeymoon?" Ellone asked.
"Nowhere, I think we will be spending our honeymoon around here instead." Squall replied. Laguna almost choked on his food.
"WHAT! You are going to spend your whole honeymoon here?! You agreed to this Rinoa?!"
Well, Squall did not discuss this with me but since he said that, he had a reason for it, guess I had to go along with him.
"Yes, dad, we felt that it is more romantic to spend our honeymoon around here as not only I can get to know about this country, we could save time on travelling and spend more time with each other rather than sleeping at the hotel after a long trip and waste time not being with each other."
"Maybe you are right, Rinoa." Laguna replied.
With that, the family continued having their breakfast and later left for their own duties.
Straight after breakfast, Rinoa pulled Squall away to a quiet corner and asked him
"Why you did not tell me we are not going anyway for our honeymoon?"
"Sorry Rinoa, but the reason is simple. When we go out, there will be bound to be reporters around. What happen if they saw us acting like strangers instead of the loving couple that they thought we were. What will happen? They will write full of reports about it and then, questions will be asked."
"You are right, but if brother and Quistis can do it, why can't we? We could even.." before Rinoa finished her sentence, Squall answered.
"I am not as romantic as your brother, so, there is no way I can make you fall in love with me, neither I think I will fall in love with you because..."
"I am your rival's sister." Rinoa finished for him.
"I know what you mean, and I understand." With that, Rinoa leave, with tears in her eyes and thought To think I might fall in love with him. He is a total jerk! Oh hyne, help me in my future with him.
Squall looked at Rinoa from her back and thought Sorry Rinoa if I had hurt you in any way. Man, I rather get slash by Seifer instead of making you to fall for me because...that's not me...
With that, Squall left to the training centre at the back of the Palace.
A few days later...
Rinoa happened to have a phone call with Seifer.
"So, tell me Rinoa. Did Puberty boy bully you or something? Don't be scared. Just tell me and I will fly straight to Esthar and teach him a lesson." Rinoa giggled. This was one of the reason why she loved her brother so much. Though he could be very over-protective sometime, this showed that he cared for her deeply, unlike Squall.
"Really nothing bro, or are you trying find a reason to beat up my husband? I don't approve of that." Rinoa said. Trying to avoid the topic she asked.
"So how is sis? Heard that she is pregnant. Is everything all right?"
"Yes of course. With me around, she is going to be all right." Seifer said proudly.
"I can see from that. You are going to rule her world for the next 9 months and I can see she is not going to like it." Rinoa answered.
"Who said. I think she is ruling my world instead." On the background, Rinoa could hear Quistis calling for Seifer.
"Hear that, now who's ruling who. Talk to you next time. Remember if puberty boy..."
"Dare to harm me in anyway, you are going to beat him up. Yes yes, you had said this for a lot of time." Rinoa replied.
"Ya, hope you remember that, bye then." Said Seifer
"Bye" Rinoa said and she hang up the phone. Indeed, talking to Seifer sometimes can be better than staring at the four walls of her bedroom. Squall always been away at the training centre or at his study room going through on the progress on the country.
I hope there will be more life here. Rinoa thought silently.
A knock was then heard and Rinoa asked the person to come in.
"Your highness," Sharon said. "We will be excepting Lord Irvine and Lady Selphie here soon and his highness requests your presence."
"I will be right there soon." Rinoa asked.
At least there is something of me to do right now Rinoa thought.
At the entrance of the Palace...
Lord Irvine and Lady Selphie had came and visit Squall and Rinoa.
Irvine was Squall's cousin and was in charge of Winhill.
Squall and Rinoa was there to welcome them.
"My oh my, isn't Princess Rinoa beautiful? Squall, you are lucky to have her." Irvine smiled and said. Rinoa mumbled a thank you to him.
"Hi, I am Selphie. Lady of Winhill. Nice to meet you Princess Rinoa."
"Call me Rinoa will do. Nice to meet you guys." Rinoa said.
"Irvine and Selphie will be coming to stay here for a few days. So, during these few days, you might want to go out with Selphie as I had some important issue to discuss with Irvine." Squall said to Rinoa.
"I see, so," Rinoa turned to Irvine and Selphie "I shall see your room being prepare."
"All right, thank you Rinoa." Irvine said.
"Irvine, meet me at 3 at the library," Squall said.
"Yes, Squall." Irvine answered.
"So, Rinoa, where are we going to shop?" Selphie asked as she led Rinoa away.
I guess my life will be brightening up this few days Rinoa thought as she followed whatever Selphie brought her, that was, if she really knows where she was going..
To be continue...
