Final Fantasy 8 Modern Fanfic Part 11:
"When...? Uh let me think...I don't remember the exact time, but..."
"So you weren't even serious about me when we were together...like that?"
"Like what?"
"You know like what!" Rinoa yelled.
"What? You mean being in eachothers arms and stuff? I didn't think you and I were really ready to be together...I wasn't sure about my feelings."
"Then why'd you ask me to be your girlfriend?!"
"Hold on...I wasn't thinking straight! Hey, at least I'm being honest."
Rinoa shook her head, covering her eyes with her hand. She scratched her head with agitation. She didn't know why but she laughed. She started to chuckle at a time like that.
"Are you mad?"
"I...can't believe it..."
"Rinoa?"
"I can't believe it," she kept repeating between chuckles.
She had never felt so stupid. So used. She couldn't believe that she'd let him get so close to her. She clenched the telephone tightly in her hand. She was beyond tears and didn't even begin to cry. Too many emotions were fighting against each other for any of that.
"I'll talk to you later," she said dryly.
"Ok...don't be mad...ok?"
"Yeah."
"I love you."
"Love you too." She barely managed to get the phrase out.
With that she hung up the phone feeling completely numb. She just laid back down on the couch, face first into the pillow. Aside from feeling embarassed amd angry she felt stupid because she still had feelings for him. "How dumb could he possibly be?" she kept thinking.
Rinoa must have fallen asleep because when the phone rang, she didn't realize how much time had passed. She looked at the clock sleepily seeing it was now past midnight. She grabbed the phone, rubbing her eyes as she yawned.
"Yeah?"
"Rinoa? Is that you?"
"Yes...who is this?"
"Rinoa, it's Seifer."
Rinoa gasped and sat up. "Seifer...Seifer Almasy?"
"You know any other Seifers?" he said softly.
"What do you want anyhow?" she replied coldly.
"Rinoa...I was thinking."
"Oh that's new...let me guess...about yourself again?"
"C'mon...be fair."
"I am! I have always been fair with you!"
Seifer and Rinoa had dated at one time and had been rather serious. To make a long story short, Seifer had decided to put his career first, and Rinoa and him broke up because of it. She hadn't heard from him in so long. She couldn't even remember the last time they talked.
"Listen to me, please? At least hear me out."
"Ok, ok. If I do will you go away?"
"I'm back in town...but not temporarily...I took a break from work for as long as I want. I did it all for you." Seifer paused, almost waiting for a response. Not getting one, he continued. "When I left you before, I admit I was selfish. The fame the fortune, everything. But while I was away I wasn't even with other girls! The only one I could think of was you."
"I know...I kept up with you at first through the magazines and news.." she trailed off.
"And I stayed single the entire time I was on the road and recording and everything. No other girl could or ever will compare to you. I need you and I want you back so bad...tell me you'll at least see me. Tell me I can come see you, anything."
"It's not like you to practically beg, Seifer." her voice softened a bit.
"Whatever it takes. I'm not the selfish person I was back then."
"Yes."
"Y..Yes!?" Seifer said excitedly.
"Yes you can come see me, no promises on what'll happen."
"Perfect! When? Tomorrow?"
"If I can get any sleep tonight, Seifer."
"Oh, of course sorry! I'm used to late nights. I'll call tomorrow then, k?"
"Sounds good. 'Night Seifer."
"Goodnight."
Rinoa could hardly believe herself. She hoped that she would just wake up the next morning and have everything be a dream. She couldn't explain why she had said yes to Seifer or what would happen. What would happen with her and Squall? She finally fell back into a troubled sleep.
