Fool in Love
By: Goddess001
A/N: Before I begin with the last and final chapter of the story, I just wanted to say thank for all of you who reviewed my story and I must admit that when I read those reviews I had a big smile on my face. I know my story isn't half as good as some of the other ones out there, but I'm actually very proud with this one. If you wanted, you could also read my stories 'Love in the Night' and 'Can't Complain', which is my fave. Well thanx a bunch for reading this and I hope that it's good!
Quistis had stepped out of the car and slammed the door shut. She was so exhausted she wasn't sure if she could make it to her room. She kept remembering that kiss that Leo gave her and how wrong it felt. She tried to push away but he wouldn't let her go. When he finally released her, she slapped him across the face and jumped into her car. Even as she sped away, she didn't care if she had hurt his feelings because he had no right in kissing her the way that he did.
As Quistis entered the elevator, she was still thinking about her experience in the park. She had forgotten that Leo had her book and that happened to be her favorite one. So, she turned around and drove back to get it. He was still sitting there on that same bench. Some part of her couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She sat down next to Leo and politely asked for her book. In the end, he gave it to her and he even apologized. Quistis nodded and walked to her car, sure that she would never be seeing him again.
Quistis dragged herself over to the door of her room and slipped the key in. She turned the knob and entered the room only to be met by darkness. She looked around and was about to grab for the light switch, when she saw Seifer's figure being outlined by the light from the television. 'I guess he's awake now…' she thought, throwing her coat in the closet not bothering to hang it up.
She stopped when she noticed his gray trench coat sitting sloppily on the bed. She shook that nervous feeling in her gut away, and turned to the couch. "Seifer?"
He didn't answer her. She was sure that something was wrong so she took a step closer. "Stop," he ordered.
Quistis did as she was told. She cleared her throat and put her hands behind her back. "Is everything all right?"
He didn't move. He just stared at the television screen. "I followed you Quistis," he finally managed out. She let out a sigh and covered her face with her hands. Seifer didn't look at her or anything. "You didn't think I knew that you were going to see that guy Leo."
"Seifer –"
"I'm not finished yet!" he yelled causing Quistis to jump. Tears had already formed in her eyes but she wasn't about to let Seifer have that satisfaction of seeing her cry. "I watched you kiss him," he said bluntly. Quistis did let her tears fall then. Was this really going to be the end of their two-day relationship? "You didn't even pull away."
"Then you must not have been watching closely Seifer. I did pull away! And do you know why I did?!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. He turned his face to her. "Because I do love you!!"
Seifer laughed then. What was so funny about this situation? "You don't love me. You never did. You loved the thought of someone loving you, that's all."
"That's not true!" she yelled.
"Keep your voice down," he said in the same level tone he had been using.
"I will not!" she screamed, her fists turning into little balls filled with anger. They had been so busy fighting amongst each other that they didn't notice the thunder suddenly rumbling outside, and the quick flashes of lightning. It was going to rain. The pelts of water could be heard hitting against the window. Each one that fell, Quistis was sure was tearing into her heart. Seifer could have said the same thing.
"I'm leaving," he said pushing himself off of the couch.
"No! I think that we need to sit here and talk about this," Quistis said. He quickly sat back down on the couch, really in no rush to leave, and looked at the screen. He would have rather stared at the blank, snowy screen of the television then have to look her in the eyes. That's what got him here in the first place. Her damn eyes. They were always filled with such hope, maybe he wanted a little piece of that hope.
"This was a mistake," he said softly. Quistis couldn't believe what she was hearing. He was giving up.
"That's the way you feel?" she asked angrier than ever. She could see him nodding. "Fine! I'll be gone!" she called and stormed to the closet to grab her coat. She didn't care anymore. If Seifer could give up so easily and not care, then so could she. Quistis jabbed her arms in the sleeves and opened the door. "Good-bye," she whispered and slammed the door. Seifer heard her soft voice as she said those words and he almost wanted to cry.
Que se arruinen los canales de noticias
Con lo mucho que odio la television
Que se vuelvan anticuadas las sonrisas
Y se extingan todas las puestas del sol
Seifer sat there in the dark. He got up and turned off the television screen, darkness completely covering him. he walked over to the window and stared outside. He watched as people in the streets coward under their umbrellas, and how men running with their newspapers above their heads, quickly ran for the shelter of a building. 'Quistis…'
Que se supriman las doctrinas y deberes
Que se terminen las peliculas de accion
Que se destruyan en el mundo los placers
Y que se escriba hoy una ultima cancion
Quistis ran in towards in her car the pelting rain. It was hitting her on the head as she pulled her jacket tightly around her. She came up to it and jammed the key in the lock. She was about to turn it when she heard voices coming from the side of her. she looked to the sidewalk and saw an older couple holding onto each other for warmth and coverage from the rain.
"Where do you want to go now?" the man asked.
"How about back to our hotel?" the woman answered. Her husband laughed.
"Okay," he replied softly.
Pero que me quedes tu y me quede tu abrazo
Y el beso que inventas cada dia
Y que me quede aqui despues del ocaso
Para siempre tu melancolia
As Quistis watched the couple turn around and head back to their hotel, she noticed that maybe they too had their disagreements but she was pretty damn sure that they didn't give up on each other that easily. She pulled the key out of the car door and quickly walked back over to the hotel.
Seifer, who was still looking out of the window, saw the very same couple as Quistis did walking into the hotel hand in hand. He shook his head. 'I was so stupid,' he thought to his self. He grabbed his coat off of the bed and quickly put it on. 'I'm so sorry Quisty...I really am…' he silently told her in his mind. He reached for the doorknob and pulled it open. He saw Quistis standing there, head to foot covered in rain. He hair was plastered to her head and she was shivering slightly.
Porque yo si que dependo de ti
Y si me quedas tu
Me queda la vida
Seifer looked at her and a small smile threatened to show at the corners of his lips. "What made you come back?"
Quistis looked at him and framed his face with her hands. "What can I say? I'm a fool in love."
Seifer grabbed her and pulled her to him. he opened his trench coat and wrapped her in it too not caring if her wet body soaked his. He was just glad to have Quistis in his arms again. "I'm sorry," he whispered into her hair. "I'm so sorry."
Que desaparezcan todos los vecinos
Y se coman las sobras de mi inocencia
Que se vayan uno a uno los amigos
Y acribillen mi pedazo de conciencia
Seifer laughed and pulled away a little to look Quistis in the eye. "I was getting ready to do that sappy crap."
"What do you mean?" she asked. It was almost like they hadn't even fought. They wouldn't forget the fight that they had and they probably never would, but right then and there they were just ready to forgive and forget.
"Like in the movies. Chasing down the damsel in the pouring rain to tell her I love her."
"Well? Do I get that or not?" Quistis asked raising a blonde eyebrow at him.
"Don't push your luck." They laughed together and walked into the room.
Que se consuman las palabras en los labios
Que contaminen todo el agua del planeta
O que renuncien los filantropos y sabios
Y que se muera hoy hasta el ultimo poeta
They entered the room and Seifer took off his coat. "You should change," he said reaching Quistis' shoulders and peeling the coat off of her. He walked into the bathroom and hung it up in the bathtub, letting in dry in there. Quistis walked over to her dresser and pulled out a shirt and a pair of pants.
After she had changed, she joined Seifer his bed and curled up next to him. It was probably two in the morning and they really needed some sleep. She kissed him softly and turned out the light. Even though he wanted more than that, he kept himself in check and pulled her into his embrace.
Pero que me quedes tu y me quede tu abrazo
Y el beso que inventas cada dia
Y que me quede aqui despues del ocaso
Para siempre tu melancolia
Porque yo si que dependo de ti
In the middle of the night, or rather morning, Quistis woke up feeling Seifer tenderly kissing her neck and shoulders. She smiled and leaned back into him. "You were my angel Quistis," he whispered, not really knowing that she was wake just yet. "That lifted me to my feet, when my wings had trouble remembering how to fly."
She was shocked at how strange that sounded coming from his mouth. She turned over and faced him. He turned a bright crimson and Quistis touched the side of his face. "I needed to hear that," she whispered, fascinated that she was able to make Seifer turn a bright red from his blush.
"Quistis, about what happened –"
"I forgive you," she said kissing his cheek slowly making her way to his lips.
"I needed to hear that," he replied and took her in his arms.
She squealed and punched his arms playfully. "Do you think we should head up to Garden?"
"What for? We still have another week and a half of vacation," Seifer said grinning wolfishly.
"Oh really?" she asked. He nodded and grabbed for her. "Ah! Seifer!" she screamed as he began tickling her.
Y si me quedas tu
Me queda la vida
