AN: School starts tomorrow.
Drinking Coffee
Chapter Eight: Bra
Today was the day. The day that Vincent hoped, it would be the last time he saw Cristobel Hastings.
For the man was going to Costa Del Sol and leaving his two darling sisters in charge. Oh yes, this wedding would be painless. These thoughts were running through his mind while he was making tea. Two small arms wrapped around his midriff and he looked down. Brightly painted nails were gripping his stomach. He laughed silently and turned around to have Yuffie's head run right into his chest.
"Morning!" She said still hugging him, "You're making tea, can I have some?" He hugged her back in return and then pulled from the tiny woman.
"Yes you may, Yuffie." He turned back around and poured two cups from the teakettle.
"Vincent Valentine! I do say you are opening up. First you tell me that you won't ever change, then we dance, then you tell me one a bench that you won't be too smiley, then you watch me like a hawk for half a month, I get a call from Reeve saying you made a joke, and now…I can hug you!" She threw her hands up in the air.
"It must be bloody Christmas!" He laughed and she stared at him more, "What the hell?!" She laughed wildly, "I swear…" She said nudging him after she took the mug of tea. "You are an unwritten book now."
He sat down and sipped his tea, "When one has another chance you must…" A pink nailed hand cut him off.
"No depressing mumbo-jumbo. Got it?" She said with a smile. He nodded and sipped his tea.
"How are we going to tell the others?" He asked.
She spit out her tea, "What? You seriously want to tell them?"
He nodded, "I thought it would please you to tell your friends that you finally are in a relationship…and you could tell your father…he would leave you alone…"
She tilted her head, "Vincent you do move fast, we haven't been on one date."
He stared at her, "I've known you for five years Yuffie, I slept in a tent with you, I know you very well young ninja."
She poked him in the chest, "Okay how do I take my toast?"
"Jelly."
"Damnit! You are good!" She said with a smile, "Well I guess the last five years we have been at each other would be considered dating!" She laughed and smiled.
This would not be that bad.
They left the tiny flat that morning with the dresses and Vincent's tuxedo. Vincent had refused to hold Yuffie's hand. However, she expected that and smiled the whole time just being happy with him. He was happy too…though when he saw the congregation standing on the porch and with that, he instantly regretted coming.
"Mister and Misses Valentine have arrived!" Sera yelled leaning over the tall banister. The poor girl almost fell over, but Cristobel caught her and laughed.
"That's Miss Kisaragi sweetie."
"Not according to Miss Shelke." She said looking up at her older brother with a smirk. She picked up her bag and walked behind Faye. Cristobel blinked.
"Okay whatever. Nevertheless, since you are all now here we can get on with the agenda. Faye?" Faye opened the black binder.
"We have to go shopping and then we have that we come back her for the practice of the dances." She shut the notebook.
"Alright to the shopping district!" He said pointing outwards. "To the Melvin Department stores!" Vincent sighed and Yuffie grabbed his hand.
"It won't be that bad Vincent." She smiled, "Trust me…it might be better that the Hastings are coming…Tifa would left alone would kill us all!"
The group began to walk down the street and Shelke, Vincent, and Yuffie lagged behind.
"You two seem rather cozy. What happened last night?" Shelke asked. Yuffie laughed ravenously.
"Nothing major. We just flew a couple thousand kilometers to get married! That's all." Vincent threw her and odd look and she looked ahead nobody was looking back so she leaned over and kissed his cheek. "See he loves me…" She laughed.
Shelke smiled. "I'm glad…I thought I would have to live with him forever. I will be leaving to go stay with Reeve soon." Vincent frowned.
"You never said anything about a relationship with Reeve."
Shelke blushed, "That is not a relationship. He was too much in love with my dearly departed sister."
Yuffie then pointed out, "Doesn't mean he can't love again Shelke." She said wagging her painted nails.
She had a point.
Vincent smirked.
He was one of those men.
When Melvin's was in sight, the congregation stopped. "Alright everybody, this is the last time I will be with you." Cristobel said wiping a fake tear. "Then Sera and Faye are in charge and are at your every will and whim Miss Tifa." The girls smiled and went back to their work. They walked into the large department store and Faye read off the list.
"Floral. Glass wear, CD's, purses, shoes, panty hose," She pauses, "And for Vincent…undecorated boxers."
Yuffie giggled and Vincent looked at the floor. Cristobel smiled and said, "Add a Wonder Bra to the list, for Yuffie." She stopped laughing and blushed red quickly. "And I'll take Vincent, Yuffie, Shelke, and Marlene, you two can take Denzel, Cloud, and Miss Tifa." The two girls nodded and headed off with their respected groupings.
Cristobel walked down the isles and then handed Yuffie a bra. "Try that on." He said with a smirk and then threw a wink to Vincent. Yuffie walked to the nearest dressing room and Cristobel walked over to Vincent.
"So you and the Ninja, huh?"
Vincent did not say anything. "I expected as much, you two dance around each other so often…The girls and I had bets about when you two would come and conjoin in harmony." Vincent's eye twitched.
"You should get that tic looked at, honey, takes away from your face." He said as he walked into the dressing room. Vincent followed behind to find Marlene and Shelke sitting on a bench, "Yuffie in there?"
They nodded.
Vincent blinked.
Cristobel pushed the curtain open. Exposing Yuffie with the black bra on and her shorts.
"Cristobel you pervert!"
He blinked, "Honey, I'm not gonna judge. I am gay. Vincent on the other hand."
Yuffie turned bright red as she saw the caped gunslinger looking at her. "Vincent!"
He looked at her, "I'm looking at your face…"
"Don't look at me…LOOK AT SHELKE!" She swore in Wutaian. He looked at Shelke.
Oh the joys of living.
Oh the joys of being with Yuffie Kisaragi.
