Head over Boots For Tifa
Tifa was wiping the tables clean as a female patron came over to her and asked with a smile:" Tifa, may I play a song in the jukebox?" the barmaid smiled and nodded saying warmly:" Of course pick whatever you like."
The woman asked somewhat bashfully:" Uhm, do you perhaps have any country songs?" Tifa's smile turned into a smirk, she said with a wide grin:" 'Course we do. Just pick any that suits your mood." She winked as she passed her to mix a couple of drinks for her other customers.
The pale blonde woman smiled brightly and walked over to the newly purchased jukebox that stood next to the counter at the right, a little ways at the back.
Tifa was getting more and more customers ever since she managed to convince Cloud to buy it. She had been so happy when they carried it inside, Tifa's smile was worth the little jab in the his wallet.
Just as the song started to play, Tifa heard the door open. She turned around to greet the new customer when she realized it was Cloud from a delivery.
I wanna sweep you off your feet tonight
I wanna love you and hold you tight
Spin you around on some old dance floor
Act like we never met before, for fun
Tifa recognized the song, it was one of her favorites: Head Over Boots by Jon Pardi. Her thoughts immediately went to Cloud, who was looking at her and approaching her with a almost devilish smirk on his face.
Cloud leaned against the bar counter, his muscled, bare arms visible. He sent her a grin and held out a hand to her, indicating he wanted to dance. His grin broadened as she shyly took his hand, he asked chivalrously:" May I ask for this dance ma'am?"
He made a motion with his hand as if he was tipping a invisible hat on his head, the action oddly made Tifa blush as she answered:" You may." All the women and men watched the couple as they moved in the middle of the bar to dance.
Tifa placed a hand on Cloud's shoulder while he placed his hand on her waist and intertwined his with her other one. They started to dance to the tune of the song.
You're the one I want, you're the one I need
Baby, if I was a king, ah, you would be my queen
You're the rock in my roll
You're good for my soul, it's true
I'm head over boots for you
Cloud looked into Tifa's shining burgundy eyes as the song played, his grip tightened on her slightly. He spun her around and pulled her back toward him making her laugh as the patrons clapped to the song and watched the couple.
The way you sparkle like a diamond ring
Maybe one day we can make it a thing
Test time and grow old together
Rock in our chairs and talk about the weather, yeah
Cloud leaned in and whispered in Tifa's ear:" I can imagine us in those chairs Teef, when we grow old and wrinkly." His hot breath on her ear and his deep voice accompanied by a deep, throaty chuckle sent shivers down her spine and a warmth spread through her chest.
She laughed and clung to his broad shoulders as he leaned her down and spun her around playfully, the cheers of the customers becoming louder.
So, bring it on in for that angel kiss
Put that feel good on my lips, 'cause
You're the one I want, you're the one I need
Baby, if I was a king, ah, you would be my queen
You're the rock in my roll
You're good for my soul, it's true
I'm head over boots for you
Yeah, I'm here to pick you up
And I hope I don't let you down, no, 'cause
Cloud was laughing along with Tifa as they continued dancing, lost in their own little world as they listened to the song. Cloud was embarrassed to say the song appealed to him, as it always made him think of Tifa when the line "sweep you off your feet tonight, I wanna love you and hold you tight" came up.
You're the one I want, you're the one I need
Baby, if I was a king, ah, you would be my queen
You're the rock in my roll
You're good for my soul, it's true
I'm head over boots for you
You're the one I want, you're the one I need
Baby, if I was a king, ah, you would be my queen
You're the rock in my roll
You're good for my soul, it's true
I'm head over boots for you
I wanna sweep you off your feet tonight
I wanna love you and hold you tight
Spin you around on some old dance floor
Act like we never met before, for fun
The music ended softly as both Cloud and Tifa panted softly as they stopped dancing, their customers cheering loudly at the usually serious powerhouse duo dancing openly like that.
Cloud kissed Tifa on the lips and winked at the blush on her face, more from dancing than the kiss, as he said:" We should use that jukebox more often."
Tifa smirked as she pecked his cheek and playfully bumped her hips sideways against his, returning to her bar. She called over her shoulder:" I'm not sure if your old age would survive that Cloud." She winked at him.
The blonde warrior smirked and shook his head in amusement, seating himself at the stool opposite of where Tifa stood behind the counter. She placed a cool glass filled to the brim with water and he gratefully gulped it down in one go.
Cloud smiled genuinely at her as he said:" You know how I'm always late to save you Tifa?" Tifa frowned slightly as she said softly:" Cloud-"
He continued with that same gentle smile, only for her:" I'm glad I wasn't late in sweeping you off your feet." Tifa smiled brightly and pecked Cloud again on the lips sweetly before she set off to work.
I'm gonna sweep you off your feet tonight,
I'm gonna love you and hold you tight…
Spin you around on some old dance floor
Act like we never met before, for fun…
