An Angel's Love

Chapter Seven

Honeymoon In Paradise

Cloud and Aeris boarded the Highwind. Cid greeted the newlyweds and set a course for their destination: the sunny paradise of Costa del Sol. Once in the air Cloud put his arm around his new wife, Aeris took this as an opportunity to get comfortable, the flight isn't a short one after all. Cid's girlfriend Shera was also with them, after Sephiroth's disappearance Cid decided to ask Shera out, at the moment they have a very good relationship, Cid loves her tea a lot. Both Cloud and Aeris were still exhausted from celebrating their nuptials so they took a long nap.

"We're fucking here!" Cid yelled. Cloud and Aeris woke up and shielded their eyes.

"Didn't need to know about that!" Cloud yelled back.

"I meant we're in Costa del Sol. We're not having sex you moron!" Cid screamed. Cloud and Aeris disembarked from the Highwind and set foot on the sands of their destination. They said goodbye to Cid and Shera and went towards their cottage.

Cloud bought the late President ShinRa's summer cottage, now called Villa Cloud, not too long ago. Since that point he and his friends have redecorated. Cid insisted on having a table for tea parties, one of the few things Cloud will never go near. Cloud and Aeris walked into the bedroom and set down their luggage on one of the two beds. Then they walked towards the living room and cuddled on the couch.

"I'm going to take a quick bath!" Aeris said skipping to the bathroom.

"Okay, I'll wait here." Cloud called out, he grabbed a nearby magazine that Yuffie left on the table the last time she was here. It was a materia magazine, not something Cloud was interested in but at least he could read it to pass the time. Just as he finished the first column his cell phone rang.

"Hello?" Cloud said into the receiver.

"Hey Cloud!" it was Zack on the other line.

"Hey Zack, what's up?" Cloud asked.

"I just broke up with Cissnei." Zack said

"You broke up with her?" Cloud asked loudly.

"What happened? Aeris asked as she opened the bathroom door. She had a pink towel covering her privates and suds in her hair.

"Zack just broke up with Cissnei." Cloud whispered loud enough so she could hear.

"Oh." Aeris said nonplussed and returned to her bath.

"What happened?" Cloud asked Zack.

"Well, after your wedding Cissnei found a box of condoms in my dresser, she then decided that it would be funny to blow them up like balloons and try to make balloon animals out of them, not the best idea since they don't work like that. After they all broke she put them back in the box. When I asked her about it later she said that they only work about 97% of the time so they were pretty much worthless. " Zack said trying to keep his composure.

"So what did you do?" Cloud asked him nervously.

"I told her she was making stuff up. I'm well aware that condoms aren't perfect protection but they're pretty much the best protection that I can afford, Cissnei's not an idiot, I know she knew this stuff and she was trying to get me to have unprotected sex with her." Zack said with an angry tone of voice.

"So how did it end?" Cloud asked, dreading the answer.

"I pretty much blew up at her! I told her that she was nothing more than a rebound. After Aeris told me it was never going to happen I needed some comfort, so I consulted my little black book and Cissnei was the girl I was friendliest with. I guess she thought I was in love with her. Now that I look back at what happened I realized how Aeris felt about having someone love you but not the way you love them." Zack sighed.

"Sorry man." Cloud said sympathetically.

"It's okay, I just need some time to myself for a while." Zack said.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later." Cloud said.

"Kay. Bye." Zack hung up the phone.

Aeris emerged from the bathroom. She was wearing a pink bathrobe and had a pink towel covering her head. She sat down next to Cloud.

"So what do you want to do first?" she asked.

The two walked hand in hand through the streets of Costa del Sol. They stopped by Tifa's friend Johnny's house to say a quick hello and then they went for a walk on the beach. They played a game of beach volleyball against some locals and lost miserably. Then they went to get some ice cream at the inn.

An hour after eating their ice cream they went for a swim. They splashed each other for a while and tried to see who could hold their breath longer, a contest that Aeris easily won.

The day of fun in the sun ended as the newlyweds watched the sunset from their beach chairs while drinking lemonade. Once the sun had set they returned to Villa Cloud.

That night Cloud and Aeris were getting ready for bed. It was going to be their first time and they wanted to make it as special as possible. Aeris threw some flower petals down on the bed and Cloud cooked a nice dinner. Aeris questioned Cloud's decision to cook their dinner but she didn't care since the food was so good. For the most part though they were stealing food off of each other's plates, normally this would anger Cloud but since it's Aeris he didn't really care. They drank their wine and joked about their day at the beach.

Before the night truly began the two lied down in their bed feeding each other strawberries dipped in chocolate. Once the food was gone Cloud turned off the lights and their night of passion had begun.
