An Unlikely Affair
**Meanwhile**
(Deling City)
"Gee Seifer. This place is so high class. How did we get it?" Selphie said with a grin of
amazement.
"Like I told ya, Babe. I've got connections," he flashed his trademark smile at her,
"Besides, nothings to good for my girl."
Selphie giggled at that. She loved the attension seifer was giving her. However, she
couldn't shake the feeling that she was being disloyal to her beloved Irvine. Yeah, they
broke up months ago, but who knows...he might just decide that he was wrong to leave
her. On the other hand, she couldn't wait for him forever.
'Screw Irvine,' she thought, 'what about what I want? He had plenty of time to come
crawling back. If he realizes how much he wants me, well too late.'
She had made up her mind, and nobody was going to stop her.

The drive back to the Garden was great. The night air was cool and refreshing, a perfect
evening to take a stroll. Then, when they were no more than two miles from the Garden,
Seifer stopped the engine.
Selphie felt a wave of panic sweep throughout her body. She knew Seifer's reputation.
Her mind raced, thinking of all the things he might do to her. To her surprise, he was
silent and still. She had to find out what they were doing in the middle of no where.
"Seifer? Why'd you stop?" her voice quivered.
"Look out there," he said pointing to the sky, "what do you see?"
"I see the stars."
"Look harder..."
She scanned the night sky.
"I see..." she began, then suddenly it came to her, "I see peace and tranquility."
"Exactly. Up there, there is no violence, no hatred....Everything is balanced....Working
in harmony...." his voice trailed off.
"I never knew you felt that way Seifer," She said, tenderly rubbing her hand along his
soft face.
"Not many people do."
"I'd be nice if you showed it more often."
He glanced over at Selphie, the reflection of the stars dancing in his grey-blue eyes. "I
wouldn't know where to begin....I've hidden it so long..."
"Just do what you just did. Let people know there's someone in there that cares."
"It's not that easy," his smile of serenity began to fade, "People wouldn't understand.
They'd think I'm weak if they knew my heart wasn't made of pure granite."
"I don't think your weak...In fact, I think your even stronger now...It takes a lot of guts
to admit your feelings. You don't want to be like Squall do you?"
This made the blond smile again.
"Whatever," he said, imitating Squall. Now they were both laughing.
Seifer started up the car again, and they were on their way home.

"Thanks. I had a great time," she giggled as she unlocked her door.
"Yeah. Me too."
They shared a brief kiss, then seifer turned to leave. Selphie walked into her dorm,
closing the door behind her.
"How was your date selphie?'' a voice called from her sofa.
The intruder caught her off gaurd, "Quisty...What are you doing here?"
"You'll find out. First, answer my question. How was you date?"
"It was great. Seifer's such a gentleman."
"Good," she said solemnly, "Now...was it worth it?"
"W-worth it...What are you talking about? Worth what?"
In a sudden burst of anger, Quisties yelled, "Was you little randezvou worth ruining you
relationship with you 'best friend'?" Tears welled up in her eyes.
"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything to ruin our friendship," she defended.
"Then what in the hell do you call what your doing with Seifer? You know that I LOVE
him."
"But Quisty, we didn't do ANYTHING. We just had dinner at Spinster's." she was cut
off mid-sentence
"Spinster's? That's the most expensive, and romantic place in town! Why you little..."
Hold it Quisty!"
"No! You hold it ! You were suppose to be my friend. I thought I could trust you! How
wrong I was..."
"But..."
"Just shut the fuck up you backstabbing little slut! I don't ever whant to see your lying
face again! Stay out of my life!" she screamed, running out of selphies room. There were
tears streaming down her cheeks.
Slphie sat on her bed, eyes wide in disbelief. She wasn't sure of what just happened.
'Oh my god. What just did she just do? Why doesn't she believe me? I didn't do anything
wrong. Besides, Seifer isn't HER property. He's NOBODY'S property. She's being
extreemly childish!'
