Chapter 23: I love her, ok?!
"Hope I wasn't too rough." Hope wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and buried his face in her neck, taking in the scent of her hair.
"I don't mind, as long as you feel good." Lightning admitted.
"Did you feel good?" Hope asked in a teasing tone. Lightning could feel him grin against her skin.
"Sh-shut up!" Lightning covered herself more, hoping to hide her blush. Hope laughed.
"I didn't think you could be this cute." Hope laughed hysterically.
C-cute?! He thinks I'm cute?
"I'm not cute." Lightning looked annoyed but Hope loved it. He trailed his hand from her thigh slowly towards her upper body, making her quiver in response.
"Relax." Hope whispered in her ear.
"I..I cant when you do that." She admitted.
"Is your body sensitive or…." Hope let her go and pinned her down while he was on top. He brought his face closer to hers and whispered in a seductive manner. "Is it just sensitive to me?" Surprisingly Lightning pulled him in for a hungry kiss. Hope's eyes widened in astonishment. She pulled away but even before Hope could say a word, she captured his lips once again.
"Just shut up and feel me." It wasn't a request. It was an order.
"Light…" He murmured her name in the softest and most loving way possible.
Never in my life have I felt the need to monopolize someone so much.
I am overtaken by the desire to bathe her in my colour and make her mine.
"Aren't you tired?" Hope asked as he placed his hand on her cheek and stroked it lovingly.
Even though I am consumed by my manly desires, more than that, I want to be gentle.
That's just how much I love her.
"Isn't it enough for the night?"
"It's not enough." Lightning confessed. "It's never enough."
"Light!" Her words made him want her even more. Hope captured her lips and used his hands to massage her breasts. The way his hands played with her was too much. She felt like screaming in pleasure but she couldn't. Hope kept her silent with his lips.
"You sure about this?" Hope asked.
"I don't want to lie to myself anymore." She took his hand and intertwined their fingers. Hope was taken aback. The gesture alone was enough but what really surprised Hope was the fact that she wasn't wearing any gloves. Sure, when they make love she takes them off but never out in the open. That was one of the things he picked up about her. It was one of the things he wanted to ask her about but this completely took him by surprise.
"Light…your hands." He pointed out.
"I don't need to wear them when I'm with you." She squeezed his hand with love and affection. "They belong to you." She smiled.
"Light.." That's all he could say.
I almost feel as if I'm not worthy to hold such pure hands.
They made their way down the hallway, hand in hand and entered a room where everyone was gathered. Needless to say, their hand holding didn't go unnoticed.
"It finally happened eh?" Fang grinned.
"Awww you two look great together!" Vanille cheered.
"It's about time." Sazh added. The rest of the group surrounded and then pulled the couple apart. Hope was taken by Serah while Lightning was taken by Snow and Noel.
"Tell….me…everything!" Serah demanded. Hope wanted to retreat. She wanted an interrogation.
"Well…It just…" Hope stammered under her intense gaze. Lightning on the other hand had silenced Snow and Noel from their queries with a single glare.
"I am so happy for both of you!" Serah went and hugged them both. Hope was relieved. He actually thought she might threaten him or something. "If you hurt her I will take away your manhood." Serah whispered in Hope's ear as she hugged him and her sister. A chill ran down his spine.
How on Pulse can Snow deal with her!
"Is that…" Serah noticed something while observing her sister. "Is that a hickey on your neck?" Hope immediately went pale and for once, Lightning couldn't think of anything to say. "Hope." Serah turned her attention to the Director with a deadly aura. Hope took a few steps back as she stomped towards him.
"500 gil says Hope's going to the hospital." Fang challenged Vanille.
"You're on!" Vanille accepted.
"Shouldn't you stop her?" Noel asked Snow.
"What? And miss all this! This just got good!" Snow laughed. "Boy am I happy sis didn't find out about me and Serah sleeping last night. Thank goodness Hope kept her occupied!"
There was a pregnant silence.
Noel and Sazh immediately stepped away from Snow.
"Guys?" Snow looked for help but only felt death drawing near.
"You what!" Lightning charged at Snow and prepared to punch him in the face. Snow ducked his head and her punch went straight through the wall. Snow prepared to run past Hope and Serah however Hope tripped him with his leg.
"What the hell Hope!"
"If I'm going down, I am taking you with me." Hope kept retreating from Serah. "What's the big deal Serah! Isnt this what you wanted! We've already done it plenty of times and….." Hope shut his mouth with both hands but it was too late.
"Babe, you should be cool about this, we've done it more than them." If Hope was going to the hospital then Snow was going to the morgue. If Serah was a volcano then Lightning was hell itself.
"You are dead Esthiem!" Hope was frightened now. She actually used his last name! Serah ran towards him while clenching her fists. Hope helplessly threw out his hands to shield himself and kept his eyes closed.
"I love her ok! I can't help it!" Hope confessed. Her fist was directly infront of his face but it never made contact. Instead Serah hugged Hope, surprising him.
"Damn, I lost the bet." Fang cursed.
"You could never win a bet against me." Vanille cheered.
"I'm glad to hear that." Serah sounded happy. "Take good care of her. Bring her happiness."
"I will." Hope vowed.
Lightning on the other hand had prepared her fist, ready to punch Snow straight through the wall.
"Sis, I love Serah too! More than anything so you can hug and entrust her to me as well." Snow spread his arms hoping for a hug. Indeed, Serah had done that with Hope however Snow failed to realize one important fact.
Lightning isn't Serah.
She punched him harder than she had ever done before making Snow smash straight into the wall and effectively knocking him out.
"Is he…alive?" Noel went to check.
"Don't bother." Lightning shot an icy glare at Noel. "He's too stubborn to die."
"Are you certain about this?" Yeul asked her guardian.
"Yes, I am sure." Caius was surrounded by the unconscious bodies of all the patrol soldiers he had knocked out.
"They will not trust you." Caius smirked in response.
"Trust? I do not seek their trust." Caius took out his blade as he stood infront of the gates.
"Then, do you seek a fight with her?" Yeul inquired. Caius knew very well who she was referring to.
"That is up to her." Caius spoke with an amused tone. Yeul's body faded away as Caius approached the gate.
I will save you Yeul, all of you.
I promise.
Caius vowed before he made his way in Bhunivelze Haven.
"It's been a long time, warrior goddess."
