I placed the small black dress that Yuffie had given me on the bed.. When I told her that I was going on the date with Cloud, she went fan girl. She picked out everything for me, make up, shoes and etc.
I looked in the mirror and apply the clear lip-gloss. I couldn't believe that I was getting all dolled up for a man that I had just met a few weeks ago. It felt weird, yet I didn't mind. I sigh and put on the black dress. I then sat on the bed and started to put my black heals on, then started to put my hair in a messy bun.
That's when I heard a knock on my door, I answer it nervously, thinking it was Cloud, only to find Yuffie with a wide grin on her small face.
" Yuffie?!" I said.
"Look at you all dressed up and pretty!" she giggled. I blushed a little.
"Thanks. Why are you here, are you going to spy on me through the whole date?!"
"Not really! I came over here to give you something!" She smiled. I blinked.
'"And that would be?" I asked as I raised an eye-brow. She reached into her left pocket and took out a small spray-bottle of purple liquid.
"What the hell is that?" I asked.
" It's a perfume, it smells really sweet! I rushed over here once I found it!" she said with a preppy attitude. I stare at the bottle.
"Umm? You want me to wear it?!" I asked, even though I knew the answer..
"Of course!" She shouted, then started to spray some of the perfume on me and I coughed a little. She giggled.
"Great! Now I smell like a pile daisies!" I said annoyed.
"Oh just relax! You look and smell amazing!" She shouted as she started to push me down the hall and to the stair case. I look down to the end of the stair case and find Cloud, looking up at me. He wore a black suit with an elegant gray shirt, and dressy black shoes. He had roses in his left hand, my face turned red and I slowly went down the stairs, his sky-blue eyes never left me, and I smiled tenderly at him. "These are for you…" He said in his husky voice as his eyes burned my skin. I took the roses and smelled them, roses are my favorite. Maybe Yuffie told him something or it was just a coincidence, or just simply pure luck.
"Thank you milord." I said with a smiles.
" It's Cloud from now on Lightning…' he said, taking my arm and leading me to the exit. I placed the roses on a small table and went through the door with him at my side.
After a nice dinner at a Italian restaurant, we went to a park, even though it was the middle of winter. We sat on a bench and looked at the lake, it wasn't to cold out for it to be frozen, and the moon light shined on it. It was beautiful, Cloud then placed and arm around me to keep me warm, I blush.
"Yuffie has told me good things about you…" I said, trying to break our almost endless silence since we had reached the park.
"Really? Why am I not surprised…" He said, though his face was a bit hard and he licked his bottom lip. The silence grew back again, and I realized that Cloud's sky-blue eyes were sad… Of course, his family was dead and he's tried hard to live day by day.
Then… I don't know what part of my mind came over me to kiss his cold cheek, but I did. He looked at me and smiled, he enjoyed it, then he leaned on me. I got nervous, I knew he wanted more, his lips pressed agents mine, I instantly melted at his touch, they tasted like the chocolate cake we had at the restaurant. My heart started to beat fast, his lips were warm and smooth. His tongue pressed agents my lower lip, I open my mouth shyly and both our tongues started to dances with each other. His gloved hand cupped my cold cheek and gently slides down my neck and caresses my jaw with his thumb as we still shared that hot and passionate kiss. He slowly separated from me, I look deep into his sky blue eyes, I kiss him back, only gently and less passionate. He chuckled playfully, I couldn't help but blush and smile.
When we got back to the mansion, it was dark and quiet, he held my hand all the way to my room.
" Why don't you sleep with me tonight?" he asked out of the blue. I looked at him awkwardly, and remained silent for a moment.
"Your really bold aren't you..?" I said. He nods and smirked at me. I then blinked.
"I'll go… But no funny stuff…" I smirked. He chuckled.
"I promise." he then picked me from my feet and started to carry me bridel style. I yelped at this surprise attack and held him tightly, thinking I was going to fall off. He laughs lowly and kissed my cheek tenderly.
When we reached his room, he pushed it open with his back. He placed me down lightly and turned the lights on.
"Stay here." He ordered as he rushed to his walking closet and looked through it for something. As he did, I started to look around the room. On the dresser, I found a picture of a young woman with sky-blue eyes, and long blond hair. Cloud was the stunning image of this woman, I gabbed the picture to look at it more clearly.
" They said when I was born…" said his voice, I flinched and turned back at him. His eyes were sad again. "I was born premature… She never gave up hope that I would live and be alright… She stayed beside me, until I was well enough to leave the hospital with her… A few weeks later, she died along with my father."
I looked at the picture and placed it down where I had found it, I went over to him and hugged him as tightly as I could. He hugged back
" She'd be proud of you Cloud…I know many people are, and your not alone, you never ill be… I promise you that…" I whispered as softly as I could in his ear, I ran my fingers in his spikes. I felt his arms wrap around me tighter, he looked into my eyes and I looked back into his. He kissed my lips again, how I love that… The way he kissed me was magical, I never want them to stop. He pulled away and rested his forehead agents mine.
"I know…" He whispered, I smiled a little, this was the perfect moment, I didn't want it to stop.
He pulled away from or magical moment and grabbed a black T--shirt He handed to me and I took it.
"You can sleep in this tonight." He said.
" Thanks… Where's the bathroom?" I asked. He pointed at the door next to the closet and I nodded. I went to change and wash my face. When I came out, I saw Cloud in bed, he had a sleeveless white shirt He smiled at me and I smiled back I jumped in the bed and he took me in his arms, I giggles and he chuckled.
I placed my head on the soft and fluffy pillow as I kept my gaze on the handsome man beside me… He was already asleep, his face was peace full in his sleep… Almost like a child.
Why am I thinking such things, I have only met this man only half a month ago, and I barely speak to him… But yet here I am in his bed, wearing his cloths and gazing at him.
I know deep in my heart I'm falling in love, but do I really want to!? And can I really control it..?! Things have gotten so weird and difficult since I got to the Strife mansion…
