Final Fantasy 8 Modern Fanfic Part 12:
"I don't get you, I just don't see what your point is." Zell looked at Squall seriously.
"I already told you." Squall sighed.
"One more time? I'm confused too." Irvine frowned.
"It's just...if you don't really love her why are you wasting time? I mean you wait for her calls, call her, which is long distance, don't date around up here like you used to..." Zell cut in, counting the reasons on his fingers.
"If you're just using her then you're wasting your time cause she isn't even here physically to use. I think that's what you're tryin' to say, right Zell?" Irvine looked at him.
"Pretty much I think." Zell looked back at him.
"Guys!" Squall yelled. "What the hell do you want from me!?"
"We wanna know what is wrong with you!" Zell and Irvine replied in unison.
"You're never like this with girls!" Zell yelled.
"Listen! I'm not using her, I love her!!! You hear that? I love her! I'm crazy about her! I've never cared about anyone this way before. She's changing me! She makes me feel like I have some kind of potential! She's gotta be some kind of gift from a God or something! I feel like she's protecting me like some kind of angel!"
Zell and Irvine looked to Squall completely shocked. They were silenced by his reaction.
"I never have had these feelings for anyone...not like this...she's different than every other girl...I can see myself spending the rest of my life with her!" He ran his hand through his hair, closing his eyes with a sigh.
Zell swallowed hard, never having heard his friend talk like that before. He had vowed never to marry or get serious, but now this? He was beyond shocked.
"Squall..." Irvine tried to be sympathetic..
"I told her that stuff because I didn't know what else to do. I was scared to get too close to her."
"It's putting your image first." Zell said quietly.
"Yeah well it's all I know. I don't know how to get serious."
"She's your angel, Squall...she'll love you either way. But I dunno how you are gonna get out of what you told her...I mean...she thought you were..."
"I know, I know!" Squall groaned. "I just wish I knew what to tell her now."
"Just call her." Irvine smiled a bit. "She'll understand if you tell her how you really feel."
"I'm going down there."
"What!?" Zell jumped up.
"I promised her I'd be down there and I still intend to go."
"I think you should!" Irvine encouraged.
"There's no turnin' back you know." Zell reminded.
"I'm totally sure." Squall said determined.
"You're taking us with you right?" Irvine said as he showed a paper with Selphie's number on it.
"Yeah, yeah...but you're paying for yourselves!"
Rinoa woke up to the ringing of the phone at around 11:00 am. She took a gulp of her orange juice and grabbed the phone.
"Hello?"
"Guess who?" replied the very pleasant male voice.
"Seifer...hi." she smiled.
"What's up?"
"Is it still okay to see you?"
"Yeah...why?"
Rinoa blinked and looked out the window as the blaring bass of a radio filled the area. She glanced down, her eyes widening at a shiny black '93 Geo Storm speeding through the parking lot of her apartment building with dark tinted windows. She shook her head.
"Seifer? Seifer?" she hung up the phone and sighed. "Must have got disconnected," she said to herself.
A few minutes later a knock at the door caught her off guard as she opened the door. Seifer stood holding a bouquet of red roses in front of him. She smiled brightly as he handed them to her. She opened the door and let him in.
"They're beautiful." She smelled the flowers and put them in the kitchen.
"Not nearly as beautiful as you..." he smiled at her.
Seifer looked fantastic. He had dressed well in a Pierre Cardin dress shirt, and khaki slacks. His hair was perfect like always and his dazzling smile could charm the devil himself. Rinoa couldn't help but look him over several times wondering if he looked just as good out of that outfit as he did in it. She mentally scolded herself for even thinking about it.
"That's an old line, Seifer." she giggled softly.
"Sorry. Guess I haven't changed that much then?" he smiled innocently.
"Still handsome as ever I admit...can I get you some tea or something?"
"Uh...sure. Only if you'll join me."
Seifer took a seat on the couch as Rinoa began preparing some green tea. He looked around at all the stuff in the living room.
"You always did have a nice place." he commented.
"Thanks." she soon returned with two cups of steaming tea on a tray. She set it down on the table in front of him as Seifer got down on his knees in front of the table as Rinoa followed.
Seifer smiled and took a sip of his tea.
"Seriously Seifer, why have you come back?"
"I told you why on the phone."
"You came back...for me?"
"Rinoa I told you. I swear on my life, I'm not the same guy you knew then. I want the chance to love you again like I should have back then." he reached across the table and swept his fingertips across her cheek.
Rinoa blushed profusely as she shyed away from his touch.
