Chapter 8: Feelings revealed...where will Sakura sleep tonight?! In Her quarters or...His!?!
As we walked down the small hallway to my quarters...I had a strange feeling that this was going well. Which really didn't sit well. I unlocked the door to my quarters, and we stepped into the warm living area. I walked to the chilled food container, opened it, and asked Sakura what she would like to drink. As I sat there waiting I glanced to what was in there. O.J, Milk, Soda, and Beer. I instantly figured that I wasn't going to drink the Beer, I wasn't much into Alchol. But then Sakura replied that she wanted the Beer...I was shocked but not to much. I pulled out a Beer for Sakura and a Grape Soda for me.
She was sitting on the couch leaning back, letting her long & beautiful hair hang off the back. As I approached I bit my finger, I just couldn't believe that the woman I loved was sitting in my living quarters. I handed her the drink and she replied "With all the excitement tonight I could use a drink maybe it will help me sleep later..." she trailed off taking notice that I was sitting in my arm chair leaning forward, head down. She then proceeded to ask what was the matter. She already knew my answer, every guy asked that question always answers the same. My reply...Nothing. She got up from the couch set down the half drank beverage and walked over. She leaned down, touched my chin with one finger and gently lifted my head up.
"Something is obviously the matter if you love me, you can tell me anything..." she trailed off again; and began to gaze into my emerald green eyes. My glance drifted to the opening on her dress. And thought that dress showed off entirely to much of her...My glance quickly drifted to the eyes that I longed to gaze into.
I stood up, and embraced her..." This is the only thing that I wanted to tell you. I wanted you to know that I truly love you. I've worshiped everything you've ever touched, your the one thing keeping me truly alive. When I'm around you Sakura...I can defeat any opponent. I..." She placed her fingers upon my lips to silence me... she leaned upward and we kissed. The warm touch of her lips soothed my raging heart...I knew for once I was the one who felt safe.
I carried her to my sleeping quarters and laid her down upon the simple sheets covering it. I kissed her once more on the lips and told her " If you want to stay here tonight, I will gladly sleep on the couch..." I pulled the covers over her as she drifted to sleep knowing that it was my responsibility to protect her. I sat down on the floor and began to meditate. At 3:00 AM Sakura slid over lightly tapped me on the shoulder and said..." Sephiroth...come up here please I'm getting cold and I usually have a teddy bear to snuggle with..." Before she could finish I had removed the heavy coat, my shirt and my shoes. crawled into the covers and embraced Sakura..." Thank you Seph..." She had quickly fallen asleep again. I kissed her upon the forehead and whispered " I love you...Sakura" And we stayed in that embrace till the next morning.
