11. Holidays
~ The Bluenette and Brunette ~
"I'm sorry, I can't. How about tomorrow?" Aqua asked, talking with her (it was now official) boyfriend over the phone.
"I have three long meetings tomorrow. …How's Friday evening for you?" he replied after a short pause.
Aqua looked at her diary and frowned. "That's not possible. I'm helping Naminé with some project."
"…I see."
The blue-haired beauty closed her eyes. She really wanted to see him…
"I guess we'll have to wait till the holidays, then."
Aqua sighed. "Yeah…"
"I've got to go now. Have a nice day."
"You too..."
Yuffie, her fellow worker, gave her a funny look.
"What?" Aqua said.
"Nothing," Yuffie replied. "But the way you two settle a date is kinda weird."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Aqua looked up to see Leon standing in the doorway, holding a bouquet of roses.
"Mind if I visit you now?" he asked.
~ The Spikes and the Blonde ~
Naminé was used to spending the holidays with her guardian, Aqua. But when her guardian told her one morning that someone was waiting for her in the kitchen, she was more than surprised.
Curiously walking downstairs, she saw Ven sitting on a chair, his head leaning against his hands.
"Good morning, sleepyhead," he greeted with a smile, as soon as he saw her.
"Hey. What are doing here?" she asked, blushing instantly.
She was still wearing her moogle pajamas, so she had a good reason to feel embarrassed. At least she had combed her hair…
"I'm here to kidnap you for today."
Naminé widened her eyes. "What?"
"Relax, I asked Miss Aqua for permission," he assured her. "I suggest you have breakfast and then change your clothes, because we've got a lot to do."
Ven's heart started beating faster after seeing the radiant smile that had appeared on her face.
