Twenty nine
"Tifa!" The brunette stopped on her tracks to turn around and she saw Zack Fair approaching her with a wave of his hand, she was on her way to Cloud's dressing room to check on him.
"Hi! Zack, how are you?" She said as he gave her a hug, which she returned.
"That's my question, how are you? Are you okay now?" He asked she knew he was referring to the miscarriage.
"Oh, I'm fine now. Don't worry about me." She said with a wave of her hand. "I guess it wasn't time yet."
"Aw, Teef, you'll have your baby again. And I know he or she'll be the cutest thing ever, a badass like her mommy, I just hope they will not inherit his or hers father's rotten-"
"Don't even think about it." It was the voice of the person in question himself, walking towards the pair from behind Zack. Tifa chuckled then look back up on a grimacing Zack. He turned around to smile at the blond.
"Hey! Cloud! My man!" He tried to give him a high five but he just walked passed him,he totally expected that.
"What are you doing to my fiancee?" Cloud asked as he wrapped a possessive arm around Tifa's waist, the brunette adjusted her glasses before she spoke.
"Grumpie, he's not doing anything." She said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. Zack gave Cloud an 'Aw' look, which made the blond roll his eyes.
"That's so sweet. Awww."
"Shut it." Cloud said with a point of his forefinger.
"Hey Teef," Zack said, ignoring Cloud. "I heard what you did to Allegra, that was awesome!" Zack exclaimed then he gave her a high five, which she returned with a confused look.
"I didn't do anything." She said. Zack laughed while throwing his head back.
"I heard you threatened to beat her to a pulp but when she talked back, you punched her in the tits." He said, Tifa's eyes bulged out of her sockets while Cloud gave Zack a perplexed look.
"I don't think that's how it happened." Cloud said with the still perplexed look.
"I really hate how rumors spread in this industry." Tifa said in a deadpan tone.
"I mean, seriously, there's nothing in there already so I guess when you punched them, they sunk back further, like a couple of caves." Zack said at once with a nod of his head as if it was the most important thing in the world.
"She has flat ass titties, yeah." Cloud said nonchalantly, the first time both him and Zack agreed into something. But it earned him a disbelieving with a pinch of hate look from Tifa, he quickly came to his defense with his hands held up surrender. "Not that... I've seen it." Zack started to laugh again.
"Yeah right." Tifa said with an adjust of her glasses.
"Looks like you're in trouble now, I'll leave you so you can kick his ass Teef, bye!" Zack turned around with his hands tucked behind his head, whistling an upbeat tune, probably grinning from ear to ear.
"You son of a-" Cloud sighed then he looked at Tifa. "My Trollie." He gave her a kiss on the cheek but she moved her face away. He really liked it when she was crazy jealous. "Hey."
"I hope these are enough for you." She said irritably while she cupped her breasts with a bounce. Cloud's eyes widened at the display.
"That was..." He swallowed with his eyes still wide. I have the weirdest boner right now.
"I'm going." Tifa before she turned around.
"Hey! Where you goin'?" Cloud as he tried to stop her. "Hey... Baby." He said sweetly with a kiss on her cheek. "My little Trollie is jealous and its really adorable." He said, Tifa scoffed before she started walking away again. "I love you." Cloud said with a huge grin while following her.
"Stop following me." She said. Cloud chuckled before he wrapped his arms around her from behind, and he was glad she didn't protest.
"I've got news for you." He said, Tifa turned around to look at him.
"What?" She asked. Cloud leaned forward to give her a kiss on her lips, then he pulled away gently.
"I heard it from Tseng since he's managing you now as well, but he asked me to relay the news to you." He said with a grin. Tifa was feeling impatient at what he was saying.
"Just tell me! Hurry up!" She exclaimed, Cloud chuckled before he placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You've been chosen to host a talkshow that will tackle the issues of women, mainly with psychological issues and deep insecurities. Probably because of your own experience and because they loved how you handle yourself all the time. And your personality is your best trait, said you can handle a show like that, also your sense of humor, you will help these women deal with their problems while having fun talking to you." He said.
Tifa just stood there, her mouth wide open, it was actually slowly opening while Cloud kept talking, the blond did his best to ignore so it won't ruin his speech. But he coudln't help his snort when he was finally done.
She couldn't believe what she just heard, she didn't think she would come that far, she only came to Midgar with dreams of being a news anchor, but she unexpectedly became a model, thanks to Zack, and now, she'll be a talkshow host, it's not a news anchor job, but still.
"Oh my Gods..." She whispered with her mouth still open, Cloud smiled then tried to give her a kiss. "Oh my Gods!" She exclaimed against Cloud's lips which made him jump. She suddenly launched herself to him by wrapping her arms on his neck and her legs on his waist but he lost his balance and both of them fell over.
"OOMF!"
"Oh my Gods! I can't believe it! This is amazing! Thank you so much for telling me!" She said before she planted many kisses on Cloud's lips, who was wincing from the pain of his buttocks, but he smiled, it was worth it.
"We'll celebrate tonight, okay? I already made a reservation for dinner tonight." He said while he tucked some hair behind her ear. Tifa squealed at his announcement.
"Thank you, Cloud..." She said before she kissed him again, not really caring that they were still on the floor.
"Now that's a lovely scene." Both of them looked at the direction of the voice, Tifa kept her face straight when she saw who it was, or rather, who they were.
Angeal Hewley, a famous actor with shoulder length raven hair who's always known for playing the villain, from the mafia boss to an evil and disgusting alien king, won many awards because of that, but despite that, he looked really sweet and gentle in nature, total opposite of his characters.
Sephiroth Crescent, always playing those badass, sword wielding warriors while riding a shiny white horse, sometimes black, there were a few brown. Played characters like a Wutaian samurai or a totally hot throat slitting assassin, He does his own stunts too. His luxurious long, silver hair was his best asset, son of Veteran actress Lucrecia Crescent, who doesn't seem to age.
Genesis Rhapsodos, rose to fame for his known broadway shows, LOVELESS, being one of them, he's looking badass with his slightly spike red hair but he sings like an angel slowly descending from the sky, everyone would kneel down to this graceful creature like he spoke the words 'I am your salvation, come to me, my beautiful children...', and everyone will bow down to their mig-
"Tifa!" Cloud flicked his finger in front of her face making her jump. The three men watching from above had all their eyebrows raised. Tifa shrieked before she scrambled up while Cloud followed shortly with a wince, his legs numb from Tifa's weight, he started to feel needles in them which made him curse under his breath.
"I'm sorry that you had to see that." Tifa said nervously.
"No, it's actually beautiful to see that there's still love coming from this world full of filthy human beings." Genesis said with a slightly dreamy voice, Sephiroth rolled his eyes while Angeal simply smirked. "Full of hate, full of envy, greed, I myself, am a victim of such disgusting behavior just because I am far more beautiful and-"
"Cloud, how are you?" Angeal asked, stopping Genesis' narcissist rant.
"Good." Cloud responded with a nod, ignoring Genesis.
"I heard what happened to you, Tifa." Sephiroth said which caught her off guard.
He knows my name!
"And were deeply sorry about what happened to you." He continued.
"N-No... It's fine actuall-"
"Such a precious thing, a child." Genesis said dreamily as he approached Tifa slowly. Cloud narrowed his eyes at the actor. "I am deeply saddened that you had to endure such pain." He said while Tifa looked around nervously. "I will give you a kiss to help uplift you-"
"What do you think you're doing?!" Cloud pulled a shocked Tifa behind while Sephiroth wrapped his hand on Genesis' arm to stop him from walking further.
"Come on, we'll get going now, see you Tifa, Cloud." Sephiroth said as he pushed Genesis away from the couple.
"What are you doing flirting with someone else's fiancee?" Tifa and Cloud heard Angeal scold the red head.
"Let's go baby before I get arrested for murder." Cloud said. Tifa chuckled while she covered her lips with her fingers.
Cloud and Tifa arrived at the restaurant later that evening, Tifa was more than happy to have a date with Cloud, it was actually the first time he took her to a fancy dinner. She wore a royal blue halter dress, her hair was tied up in a bun while Cloud wore an all black suit with no tie. Tifa noticed that the restaurant was empty and in the middle, there a table with candle lights and flowers. Cloud led her to the said table with a smirk on his face.
"Did you actually closed the place down?" She asked in a whisper. Cloud nodded.
"I want us to enjoy dinner without any disruptions." He said. It was true, the constant picture taking and autograph signing were always there wherever they went. Cloud pulled out the chair to let Tifa sit down before he sat across from her. A waiter arrived the poured them some white wine, they both said their thanks before Cloud lifted his glass, Tifa did the same.
"Here's to the most perfect woman in the world... That I get to call mine." He said, Tifa gave him a look like she wanted to cry before they clinked their glasses together.
"Thank you Cloud... I love you."
"I love you, too." They both took a sip before they set the glasses down. Cloud reached across the table to hold her hand.
"Are you hungry now?" He asked.
"Yeah..."
"The food's coming soon." He said, "But before that." He said before he let go of her hand, then he pulled away something from his pocket, a small box, which he suddenly opened in front of her. Tifa gasped when she saw that it was a beautiful white gold ring with a huge heart shaped ruby in the middle. She covered her mouth with her hands while she looked at him in shock. Cloud stared at her face, his expression serious but full of love, nonetheless.
"I realized I didn't actually propose." He said in the most loving tone he can give, that's when Tifa started sobbing behind her hands.
