Chapter Sixteen: Welcome back Rinoa!
Zell laughed as Squall paced back and forth in front of the Directory.
"What?" Squall asked, his eyes cold with hate.
Zell shook his head, still smiling.
"Whatever.." Squall muttered. "Where the hell is she?"
Squall had been waiting all day for the return of his fiance, Rinoa. He was halfway looking forward to it, halfway dreading it. His feelings for her were more of a platonic thing, and less of a romantic one.
"SQUALL!!!!!!" came a female voice. Squall turned around, to see Rinoa standing several feet behind him. He smiled weakly, and opened his arms, concentrating on not falling over as she tackled him and covered him in hugs and kisses. "I missed you so much!" she exclaimed, "I missed you too." Squall replied quietly.
For the past 3 months, Rinoa had been at Deiling City, trying to patch things up with her father. From the letters and calls Squall had recieved from her, it didn't work out much.
"What's wrong?" Rinoa asked, her eyes scanning his face for the truth, "You look like you haven't slept in years."
"I haven't.." Squall muttered.
"What?"
"I've just been working alot lately."
"Oh.." Rinoa said, weakly. She smiled brightly and winked at Squall, "We'll just have to change that, won't we?"
Squall smiled weakly. 'Oh god..' he thought miserably to himself.
Rinoa saw Zell standing across from them, a beautiful girl wrapped in his arms. "Whose the lucky girl?" she asked, giggling.
"This is Ceres Almasy."
Rinoa's eyes got big. "Are you related to Seifer?"
"He's my older brother.." Ceres replied, putting up her defenses.
"That's soooooooooooo cool!" Riona exclaimed, running over and hugging them both, knocking the air out of Ceres. "Where is Seifer anyway? I heard he was back!"
Ceres nodded slowly, "He's in class right now."
"Oh.." Rinoa said, obviously disappointed, "Oh well!" she exclaimed, smiling, "Maybe I'll get to see him later! But, I've gotta go unpack now anyway! C'mon Squall!"
Rinoa dragged Squall off, who shot Ceres and Zell a pleading look. They both just laughed and waved to him, "Have fun!" Zell called out, causing Squall to raise his middle finger, which only made them laugh harder.
