Chapter 14

"What a girl wants." The sound was so very faint, barely catching the sleeping blonde's attention.

"What a girl needs." It was louder now. Cloud slowly opened his eyes and observed his surroundings.

"Whatever keeps me in your arms." A soft voice was coming from somewhere. A very familiar soft voice.

"And I'm thanking you for givin' it to me." Cloud's eyes slowly drifted to the bathroom. The door was cracked just enough for him to get a peek inside. His blue eyes strained to catch a glimpse of what was behind the door. And then he saw her. Tifa. In the shower. Naked.

"What I want... Is whatcha got." Oh god did her voice sound sexy. The blonde swallowed hard when the gorgeous brunette bent over, giving him a fantastic view of her perfectly shaped butt.

"And whatcha got... Is what I want." With her back to him, Tifa slowly stood up, flipping her hair back on the way up. Cloud raised his hands to his face, ready to rub his eyes when he accidentally bumped his nose. Whoever knew that little thing could be so delicate?

"Oww!" The blonde's hands retreated faster than he thought possible. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to dismiss the pain but damn... that hurt!

"Cloud?" Looking up, he spotted Tifa standing in the doorway to the bathroom, wrapped in a small towel. "Are you ok?" She walked over to him with a worried look on her face. As she approached him, her eyes suddenly widened. "Oh Cloud! It's bleeding again!" Tifa plucked a few tissues out of the box and ever so gently pressed them to his face, just below his nose.

He softly grunted in pain. "Teef, what happened last night?" She bit her lip and looked to the floor.

"Well... you were pretty drunk so when my dad found us in the same bed, he wasn't very happy. He punched you in the face. Well, in the nose." She paused and looked at him, concern in her eyes. "Does it hurt?"

"Just a little." Cloud smiled lightly. "Teef? Did we... make love last night?"

She looked at him and almost grinned. "No. But you sure wanted to."

The blonde blushed. "Sorry." He rubbed the back of his neck as Tifa continued to tend to his swollen nose. "I've never really been drunk before. I'm sorry your dad had to meet me like that."

"Let's just call it even." She smirked at him. "Our parents have seen both of us naked now." Cloud shifted uncomfortably under the covers, feeling his large member rub against the sheets.

"How much did... he see?"

Tifa avoided his eyes. "Enough." The blonde looked away quickly, his face burning. "But I'm pretty sure your mom saw my..." His cheeks reddened further as he remembered his mother's face after spotting the couple in bed together. Yeah, she had definitely seen Tifa's breasts. After all, his face had been buried in her wonderful cleavage.

"Anyways..." Trying to change the subject, Tifa looked back to the blonde, noticing his red face. "We should get ready. It's Monday you know." Cloud's cerulean eyes were fixed on her. With such an intense stare, she felt the need to look away. "What?"

"I don't know... You're just so beautiful Tifa." The brunette laughed lightly but his eyes never strayed from her face.

"Cloud."

"Yeah?" He was starting to smile, lost in the sight of her.

"School isn't going to wait for us. You should really... get ready." But her voice was uncertain as her words started to slow down.

And then they just sat there, Tifa in only a small towel and Cloud completely naked, gazing at each other. "I'm in no rush." Leaning forward, he finally captured her lips in a long kiss. As usual, her hands gently glided up his bare chest, one gripping his neck, the other cradling his face. As soon as their lips separated, Cloud wasted no time and moved to the rest of her bare skin, lingering on her jaw before trailing down to her neck. His lips brushed gently against her skin, earning soft moans and a gentle massage on his neck.

Oh god how he adored this woman. Her taste, her scent, her voice, her everything. Cloud continued to kiss the side of her neck as her hands slipped into his hair.

"Tifa..." He mumbled against her skin. Repeating it over and over had her sighing contently, her fingers threading lazily through his spikes. His hand came to rest on her lower back, caressing her wonderful body through the soft towel.

"Get off of her boy." The two pulled away from each other so quickly, Cloud's big, clumsy hand caught on Tifa's towel almost yanking the small thing completely off of her body. Luckily though, the brunette grabbed it in time, letting out a small yelp as she did.

"Cloud!" She scrambled to cover herself with the soft material.

"Sorry Teef. I-I-"

"What the hell are you doing?" Mr. Lockhart took a few steps toward the blonde. "Keep your hands off of her! That's all you want from her isn't it? Isn't it boy? She's just a sex toy for you huh?" Tifa's face flushed deeply hearing her father talk like this. She had never seen him get so upset before.

"No! I-I would never! I just- I just really like her-"

"Her body?" His eyes narrowed to slits as he glared at the flustered blonde.

"Dad! That's just... eww!" Tifa shook her head, trying to rid her mind of her father's words. "Can you ever just leave him alone? He's a sweet boy! He'd never think of me like that!"

"Tifa, I didn't ask for your input. Leave me and your boyfriend alone. I'm gonna set him straight."

"No! You can't-"

"Young lady. Out. Now." Mr. Lockhart crossed his arms, his mustache twitching in pure frustration as he waited for his daughter to get up. After a few moments of sitting with her mouth wide open, staring at her father, Tifa reluctantly stood up. She took one more look at Cloud, noticing the sheer terror in his eyes and leaned down to kiss him softly on the cheek before straightening up and storming out of the room.

"Just please... don't hurt him." With that she was gone, the door slamming loudly behind her.

Her father silently watched her leave before turning his glare back to Cloud. "Alright boy, let's get down to business."

"I-it's Cloud actually. You can call me Cloud." He was practically shaking in the bed, the nervousness blatantly obvious in his voice.

Mr. Lockhart's jaw stiffened, his teeth grinding together. "Ok Cloud." He paused, spitting his name out like it was the most disgusting thing in the world. "Tell me... have you banged my daughter?" Cloud swallowed, pulling the covers up a little higher on his naked body as he watched Mr. Lockhart's hands ball into fists.

-Later-

Tifa's ruby eyes shot to the stairs when she heard footsteps, anxiously waiting for whoever it was to enter the kitchen. Finally, Cloud stepped into the room, drawing a sigh of relief from the brunette.

"Cloud. Are you ok?" The blonde made his way over to her, nodding and grinning stupidly upon seeing her.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He grabbed her waist, the smile never leaving his face. Tifa raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"My dad didn't do anything to you?" Her hands roamed over his face as she thoroughly examined him. She lifted his shirt up, checking for any scratches or bruises on his toned chest but found nothing. She was tempted to peek down his pants and make sure her father hadn't chopped off anything important.

"You mean besides this?" Cloud motioned to his broken nose, black and blue and still a little bloody.

Tifa laughed lightly and brushed a few spikes out of his eyes. "I'm just glad you didn't come down with a black eye." Cloud smiled, leaning down to kiss the beautiful brunette. She grinned against his lips, throwing her hands behind his neck to grip it.

"Let's keep it PG." Tifa glanced over Cloud's shoulder and spotted her dad standing at the foot of the stairs.

The blonde pulled away and laughed nervously. "Y-yes sir."

"You should be heading off to school now Tifa." Mr. Lockhart's eyes shot to Cloud, giving him the same harsh stare from earlier. "And for you, I don't ever want to find you in my house again. Especially not drunk and naked."

"Yes sir." He repeated, a light blush settling over his face.

"Good, now take my daughter to school."

-Later-

Little did Cloud know, despite the terribly rough morning, this day was going to be the start of the best two weeks of his life.

Stepping out of the car, the blonde walked around to Tifa's side of the car and opened the door for her. She grabbed her bag, stood up and slung it over her shoulder. Cloud watched her carefully as she shut the door before meeting his cerulean eyes.

"You don't have to open the door for me you know. But thanks Cloud." Smiling warmly at him, Tifa leaned forward and planted a small kiss on his cheek. The blonde's eyes widened and he stumbled backwards. But that wasn't even the most surprising part. Tifa reached out and slipped her hand into his his, her fingers wrapping perfectly around his large hand.

He couldn't believe it. He was holding Tifa Lockhart's hand, at school... in public. He had to be dreaming but when she took a step forward, bringing him back to reality, Cloud realized that this really was happening.

The couple walked hand and hand into school, a stupid grin threatening to cross the blonde's face every time he got a jealous glance from an observing guy. People gawked at the couple as they walked down the halls, drawing the attention of almost every student they passed.

These stares continued throughout the rest of the day. Even when he wasn't with Tifa, Cloud received the same jealous, sometimes angry looks from people and at that point, he wasn't sure if it was his beautiful girlfriend or his broken nose. It wasn't until halfway through the day that he realized it was both.

Standing at his locker, Cloud spotted a group of boys approaching. He recognized Johnny, one of the many guys who had a crush on Tifa, but the other boys were unfamiliar to him.

"Hey there, uhh Cloud!" The blonde was surprised that he even knew his name but then again, he guessed it was probably getting thrown around this school a lot today. "What a name huh?" Johnny laughed heartily, his boys following suit. Cloud laughed lightly before getting back to retrieving books from his locker.

"Anyways..." After their laughing died down, Johnny cleared his throat and continued. "I hear you're dating Tifa." Cloud nodded, a small smile forming on his lips. Geez, news traveled fast. "Now tell me, how does a guy like you get her?" The blonde opened his mouth to speak but Johnny cut him off, obviously not interested in his answer. It was meant to be more of an insult. "She's the sexiest girl in the whole school ya know? So you gotta tell me, did you get past first base with her?" Cloud froze. Why did everyone have to know about their sex life? "Ya know, did you two do it? Get it on?" Johnny paused and leaned in closer to the blonde, wiggling his eyebrows. "Have sex?"

"Yeah. I've made love to her." Cloud stared at the boys, a little irritated from their constant questioning.

Johnny just stood there, his eyebrows raised a little as he gawked at Cloud before breaking into loud, obnoxious laughing. "Made love? Ha! Who the hell makes love?" The whole group was laughing now, making quite a scene. Cloud blushed and rubbed the back of his neck. "She probably only banged you out of pity, cause of your nose!" Johnny could barely speak, only irritating the blonde further. He was just about to say something when the laughing suddenly stopped, even quicker than it had started up.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on something behind Cloud and before he had a chance to turn around, a pair of soft hands wrapped around his torso. The blonde grinned, knowing exactly who it was.

"Tifa. Hey." Johnny seemed a little flustered as he fixed his red hair, trying to sound as cool as possible.

"Hey Johnny. Boys." Tifa smiled at the group of guys before spinning Cloud around and gently pressing him against the lockers.

"Hey Teef."

"Hey Cloud. How's your nose feeling?" Her smile was dazzling and sincere as she stared into his glowing eyes.

"Sore." Tifa laughed a little.

"I think I can fix that." Before he knew what was happening, Tifa was slowly leaning up to meet his lips. She turned her head to the side, careful not to bump his nose as she gently kissed him. This was the first time she had ever kissed him in public and it left Cloud's mind running wild. But all thoughts fled when her hands slipped into his hair, almost making him moan out loud.

Knowing that Johnny and his boys were watching, Cloud cautiously ran his hands down her wonderful body, over every delicious curve until he reached her waist. He pulled her against his body and her hands moved to massage his neck. After what seemed like hours, Tifa finally started to break the kiss but not before sucking softly on the blonde's lower lip like it was the most delicious thing in the world. She slowly pulled away, taking his lip with her before finally releasing it.

Cloud snuck a small peek at Johnny, noticing that the whole gang was watching the couple closely. Most of their eyes were glued on Tifa but when Johnny's eyes met Cloud's, the red-head quickly looked away, both jealousy and embarrassment on his face.

"Let's go to lunch Cloud." He drew his attention back to the beauty in front of him.

"Yeah." He nodded and smiled, grabbing his lunch out of his locker. Wrapping one hand protectively around Tifa, the other gripping his lunch, Cloud walked to lunch with his gorgeous girlfriend.

And that's how the blonde spent the next two weeks of his life. His mornings consisted of picking Tifa up from her house and driving her to school. Walking hand and hand into the building still felt like a dream and when he strolled the halls with one arm wrapped around her hips, eventually people seemed to get used to the couple.

But the afternoons were what the blonde really looked forward to. It was guaranteed that the couple would go home, after school, every day, together. But to who's house exactly? It didn't really matter, as long as nobody was home. As long as they were alone.

The afternoons when they arrived at a house already hot and bothered were the afternoons when Cloud would stumbled out of the car and to the front door, Tifa in one arm, the other frantically working on opening the door. But damn was it hard to concentrate when those long, slender legs were wrapped around his waist and her wet mouth was trailing hot kisses down his neck, nibbling and sucking at his skin.

As soon as they entered the house, clothes would be off in a matter of seconds, thrown to an unknown corner of the room. Their love-making was going to be hard, fast, and sweaty. But not rough. Never rough.

But the afternoons that Cloud liked best were the ones that started with just a small, gentle kiss. The blonde would grab Tifa and carry her inside like she was the most delicate thing in the world. He would then take his time undressing her, exploring every curve of her wonderful body with his tongue, taking his time pleasuring her. And his throbbing member, straining so tightly against his boxers, was just going to have to wait because this woman, this gorgeous woman would always come first.

Her delicate hands would grip his neck, back, hair, whatever they could reach, silently thanking him for being so sweet and gentle, for making love to her like the gentleman he was. Her moans would verbally tell him he was doing good, hitting the right spots, and encourage him to go deeper. These were the afternoons when it seemed they had all the time in the world. No need to hurry. No reason to hurry.

That, of course, was when their love-making was slow, sweet, and oh-so passionate.

No matter if they were sprawled across each other, sweat dripping and breathing hard, or if they were lying next to each other, gazing at at one another contently, it always ended the same way. The blonde would kiss Tifa's gorgeous body, his soft lips brushing over every place they could reach. He'd whisper how beautiful she was and she'd smile softly, her hands gently running through his soft hair.

It seemed as if they could lay there forever... and they did, until the familiar sound of a door opening reminded the couple that being caught naked together was not worth the comfortable pleasure it brought.

So after one last sweet kiss, Cloud would be gone, climbing out the window and running down the street half naked as he grinned to himself. Her delicious scent would still be on him, the heavenly taste of her body still lingering in his mouth and he savored every last bit of it. Because he just couldn't get enough of her.

And for these two weeks, everything seemed too good to be true. Life was perfect, just the way he wanted it.

That was, until Prom.

Author's note: So this chapter was kinda like a filler, don't expect much from it. It was just meant to describe what life was like for Cloud and Teef at school but it didn't turn out that great (in my opinion.) I wasn't very happy with the beginning so I threw in some Xtina just cuz I could. But next chapter is gonna be *drum roll* PROM! Yeah, not that great, but I promise something VERY significant is gonna happen next chapter so stay tuned! Thanks so much for everything guys, you're all the best :D

P.S. Sorry for any mistakes. I'm human, therefore I'm lazy.
