Love Forever – Chapter Eleven – An Unforgettable Night
Back in the ballroom the party was in disco mode. Zell being the wizard with electronics, had set up the turntables and with a little help from Irvine, they had agreed to be the DJ's for the evening. Well it was the only way to get a combination of rock, pop and soft melodies. Needless to say the two DJ's could not agree with each other on their own tastes of what was 'good music'. Every time Zell played a rock or pop tune, Irvine just cringed. This music was giving him a headache and he was thinking
'Why on earth did I say yes I'd do anything to help you Selphie'?
But then he remembered she was always able to get him to do what she wanted. All she had to do was flash that smile and he couldn't resist. He scanned the busy dance floor in an attempt to spot his energetic girlfriend. Just as he spotted her back at the table talking to Quistis, Zell tapped him on the shoulder and said
"Hey your up next man!"
With a quick grumble he started to rummage through the collection. Finding the track that he and Selphie last got busy too, he smiled, as he looked back over to the table and thought
'If this doesn't get her over here, nothing will!"
******************************
"So do you think Squall has asked her yet?" asked Selphie, as she looked towards the balcony doors.
Sipping her white wine Quistis replied
"Knowing Squall, probably not. Anyway if he had I'm sure they would have returned to the ballroom to tell us. Now that we have been given a months holiday, he might not even ask her tonight."
"Oh I hope he does. I don't think I will be able to keep it a secret from Rin for a whole month, it will drive me nuts" said Selphie.
"Don't worry Selphie, he will ask her when he's ready", replied Quistis.
Selphie said, "I still hope it's tonight. Oh but I am so looking forward to seeing Ellone and exploring Esthar properly."
Irvine's voice then cut through on the speakers
"This one's for those private dancers out there!"
As the music then started playing 'Tina Turners – Private Dancer', Selphie went bright red.
"Are you okay Selphie?" Asked Quistis.
"I'm going to kill him, that's my special track!" said Selphie, as she got up from the table and headed towards the smirking Irvine.
"Special track for what?" Asked Quistis, as she followed after Selphie.
Despite the fact that they had now been out on the balcony for at least an hour. Squall and Rinoa were looking towards the night sky. As she leaned back against his chest, while he wrapped his arms around her waist she said
"I love to watch the stars…. they never seem to change. Always twinkling brightly and breaking up the darkness of the night. I can remember watching them from the age of eight. Just looking out of my bedroom window and hoping to see a shooting star. Every time I saw one I would make a wish, but I've only ever had one wish come true."
"Really, what was that?" He asked.
She turned around so that she could face him, as she tipped her head slightly to one side and a smile formed on her lips.
"I met you!" She replied.
His brow started to wrinkle in confusion and so he asked
"You wished to meet me?"
Realizing that she would have to explain she said
"You remember the first night we met at the Balamb Graduation Ball?"
He replied, "Yes of course."
"Do you also remember a shooting star?" She asked.
He nodded.
"Well as I stood in the ballroom and watched the couples dancing. I wanted so much to have someone special in my life and when I saw the shooting star crossing the sky. Well I wished for that someone ….and the next thing I saw was you!"
She placed a hand on his cheek and said
"You're everything that I wished for Squall."
No one saw them come back in from the balcony. No one paid any attention to the fact that they walked straight through the ballroom and out the main doors on the other side. She had asked him if they could go back to his room and he had corrected her saying it was their room. Although calling it a room was an understatement, more an apartment would have best described it.
He had no regrets about not going back to join in the party. Discos were not really his thing.
But he would have endured it for Rinoa, if she had wanted to go back on the dance floor.
They had walked arm in arm to the dormitories until they reached their door. He pulled out the keycard and opened the door. Once they were both inside, he re-locked the door while she removed his jacket and placed it over the back of one of the sofas. She took off her shoes and noticed that Squall had done the same. However, he was a little surprised when Rinoa took his hand and led him towards the bedroom. But of course he went willingly.
When they had entered the bedroom and reached the side of the bed. Rinoa turned to face Squall who had the look of curiosity written across his face. She smiled as she ran her hands up along his chest and when they reached his shoulders she leaned close and whispered seductively in his ear
"I want to show you how much I love you."
He started to reply "Rin you don't need to…."
He was stopped mid-sentence, as she had just placed a kiss between his ear and neck and followed it quickly with another and another. His power of speech had gone and been replaced just with the sensuous kisses that Rinoa was giving him. Slowly she started to undo the buttons on his shirt. He watched until the last button was undone and the shirt dropped to the floor. Leaning forward as he lifted her chin and captured her lips with a hungry passionate kiss. One hand wrapped around her waist, while the other hand found the zip in the back of her dress and opened it with ease.
She was grateful that he was wearing his smart trousers and not his leather ones with the triple belt. Reaching for the clasp on the waistband, she let his trousers drop to his ankles and gasped
'Oh my he's not wearing anything under those!' she thought.
The she stepped back, so that she could unclip the straps to her dress and let it drop to the floor. His eyes widened as he saw her standing there in just a pair of navy panties. With a slightly shy look she took hold of the lace tie on each side of the panties and pulled. She was completely naked as she stepped the short distance back to him. Their lips met this time more fevered.
They fell back on to the bed still within a deep embrace. She ran her fingers though his hair, while he ran one hand down her back and pulled her closer. He was already fully aroused and so as he manoeuvred himself into the dominant position. She said
"Hey I want to make love to you"
As she gently pushed him so that he was lying on his back. Kissing him as she straddled his waist and then leaned back so that she could lower herself onto him. He let out an audible sigh of pleasure as she too let out a gasp of enjoyment. Slowly she started to rock backwards and forwards, using her hips to move up and down on his erection. All the time their eyes remained locked in each other's gaze, as their bodies moved together in complete synchronization. The feeling that they had for one another and the love that they both shared was poured into their lovemaking. As the movements intensified, he could feel her climax as her body grasped him and tightened around him. As she called out his name in that final moment, he found himself unable to hold back, as he too released.
They remained locked together, only this time she collapsed on him. Her body flushed and glistened from the heat of passion that they had just shared. Her breath was still ragged as her heart still raced from the excitement. Squall gently pushed her hair away from her right ear as he spoke
"Marry me?" He asked.
'Did he just ask me…? No I must have miss-heard.' She thought. Catching her breath as she moved off his chest and lay by his side. Lifting her head so that she could see his face she asked
"Sorry what did you just say?"
He looked lovingly back at her and asked again
"Will you marry me?"
"Are you being serious?' Rinoa asked him.
Squall replied, "of course, here let me show you."
He reached down to the side of the bed for his discarded trousers. Finding the ring box in his pocket, he brought the box up for Rinoa to see and asked again
"Rinoa will you marry me?"
She gasped as he opened the box to see the ring in all its glory. With a tear she replied
"Oh Squall…Yes….yes I will."
He pulled the ring out of the box and placed it on her finger. It was a perfect fit.
He kissed her and she wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him in deeper, making the kiss more passionate. He returned the desire by wrapping his arms around her waist. They made love once again that evening, falling asleep in each other's embrace.
