Hello! A thousand apologizes about being on hiatus for so long. It was not my intent and I will do my best to not let so much time pass between chapters again. I am also not sure about this chapter, you all will have to let me know what you think of it. Next chapter should be much more detailed and lengthy but I do feel this chapter is necessary to keep things moving. As always thank you for coming back to my story and I hope you enjoy.

"Absolutely Reeve, I understand....I'll make sure Yuffie calls you as soon as she and Godo have their talk. Thanks again."

Tifa leaned to see as much of the ocean as she could from her the tiny window in their tiny room. It was a far cry from the spacious suite that had just a few hours earlier. Tifa could feel Reno's eyes on her and she could feel her face flushing. The plans for when they reached Wutai were now set. So now all that was left was the time it would take to get to Yuffie's homeland. Tifa knew they needed to have another conversation, they were both in new territory, yet what they were or what they were going to do about what happened between them was still a mystery.

"So Lockhart, what would you like to do know?" Reno's voice was flirty and there was a twinkle in his eyes. Tifa just smiled at him.

"Well we have a lot of time to kill....so I really want to take a shower, I feel gross." Tifa watched as Reno's face fell a little and she knew he had been hoping for a different answer. What she wasn't sure about was if he wanted to start an encore performance of the night before or have the what are we talk.

Tifa started to head into the bathroom but she turned back and looked at Reno.

"Do you remember when you were in the shower the other day and I fell asleep."

Reno nodded, but did not speak.

"Well now I can confess that the reason I was so I'll mannered when you woke me up is because I was having a dream of being in the shower with you." Tifa said seductively.

"Do you think you would be willing to help me recreate that into a real scenario?"

Reno's aqua eyes became wide as a smile developed on his face.

"I would be very happy to help you with that Miss Lockhart."

The two of them found a way to make it work with not a whole lot of room, staying in there until all the hot water was used up. Tifa was fascinated how different they were this time than the night before. There love making started out less manic and more loving, taking turns to wash each other while every few moments stealing kisses from each other. Tifa was also introduced to how you can have a lot of fun in a very small space and was never so grateful that she and Reno were in good shape and flexible.

As she wrapped her towel around her body, she was fascinated by the fact that when they were being intimate everything around them disappeared. She was also trying to figure out how she could feel so very satisfied and yet still have the insatiable yearning for him at the same time. She was pulled from her thoughts when Reno spoke.

"Damn Lockhart, you help work up an appetite, do you want to get dressed and grab something?

Tifa wasn't sure what came over her but she sauntered her way over to Reno and then placed her hands on both of his butt cheeks and squeezed.

"I already did." She stated playfully as Reno jumped a little and then responded by tackling her onto the bed.

As Reno laid there on top of her their eyes met and he took a moment to brush a few strands of her hair out of her face and asked, "So Lockhart, what am I going to do with you?"

There was still a hint of playfulness in his voice but the double meaning was not lost on her at all. The fact in a few hours the realities of what was going on outside of their little bubble would be on them in full force. And even after the Rude and Jenova's Hope were taken care of, he is was still Reno of the Turks who was hated by Barret and disliked by probably every other one of her friends; and she was still Tifa the bartender and Avalanche member who had dreams of being part of a large orphanage helping kids find homes and giving them love and support during their stay...how would Reno fit into that? And Reno would need to be there for Rude for a while after all this, there was no telling what was happening to him as a prisoner of Jenova's Hope and he would need his best friend more than ever after he was rescued. Plus the Turks were very close nit themselves, so what was to say they would be thrilled with Reno's new girlfriend. Girlfriend, boyfriend? Do they even get to have labels for each other?

What were they going to do?

Tifa sighed, half out of contentment and half at becoming exhausted with all the thoughts going on in her head. She stared deeply into Reno's aqua eyes. It's funny how before she really began to know him, she didn't realize that he told you so much about himself with his eyes, but now she could see that that similar thoughts and worries were going through his mind. She didn't know what was going to happen after this mission ended, but she knew that she did not want this to be the last time she was on a bed like this with Reno. Somehow they would have to find a way to be together.

"I'm not sure Reno, I don't know what I am going to do with you either."

Reno leaned down and gently kissed her. They laid there kissing for a long while until Reno's stomach interrupted them with a growl.

"Let's get some food Reno." Tifa said mid giggle.

"Yeah. Let's go and enjoy ourselves"

Tifa smiled as she got up from the bed, she was beginning to become quite the fan on the live in the moment philosophy.
