I couldn't help it but to stare at
her. Wow. She looks so beautiful. I could barely take my eyes off her.
"Hey, good looking. Do you want to
dance with me?" Rinoa asked.
I let out a smile. I remember that
night. At the ball when she asked me if I would dance.
She smiled at me. And it wasn't
just a smile. It was a killer smile. That smile that makes all the guys turn to
her and stare at her and say, "wow".
"Rinoa…I… I want to… ugh…" I said
struggling to the words.
"…to?"
"…to tell you something." I looked
at her. But I was thinking if it was the right time. You got to let it out. "Rinoa…"
I held her hand. "You look really wonderful tonight."
She smiled again.
Wow.
"…and" This is it.
"I lo---"
"Rinoa!"
A tall, blonde, with a scar in his
face, wearing a long black coat approached Rinoa.
Rinoa looked up at Seifer. He sat
beside him. Smiling.
Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Seifer will
always be a pain in the ass. Always.
"You look really wonderful
tonight." Seifer said to her… SEDUCTIVELY.
"Thanks. I would say the same to
you." Rinoa let out a smile. Not trying to flirt too much. Which was good.
But then, it made me mad. Seifer
was looking at Rinoa like he owns her. Like he didn't know that I was right
beside Rinoa. Suddenly, he leaned close to her. A shiver shuddered down my
spine. I wanted to kick his ass right now. And I will.
"Seifer, I…umm…" she swallowed.
She was trying to get away from him but she couldn't. Seifer was too close.
I stood up, ready to beat him up.
But then he put his arms around Rinoa. My Rinoa! His gaze on Rinoa was so… so,
deep. I was ready to punch this guy when he abruptly looked up to me.
"You ever noticed Rinoa's eyes?"
"Seifer, umm… never notice that
you're too close?" Rinoa was trying to let go.
Seifer switched his gaze from me to
her.
"You've got such an incredible
kissable mouth," he whispered. "I think about kissing you a lot…"
"THAT'S IT!!!"I shouted.
Nobody ever come close to Rinoa
like that. No one. Except me.
He stood up and gave me that evil
smile. With that evil look.
I have no idea why girls say that
his smile and his look turn them on. Ugh.
I grabbed his coat. At that moment he pushed me. I grasped it again and was ready to knock him down when Rinoa stood up between us and giving us the look.
"Stop it!" she begged.
"I'll talk to you, Rinoa." he smiled at her and turned and walked away like nothing happened.
What a bastard.
"Squall, why did you do that?" she said with a concern look.
What did I do that??? I did it for you!!! Who knows
what he'll do next. He was probably planning to kiss you. Worst is, IN FRONT OF
ME!!!
"What do you mean, why did I do that?" I asked. Confused. Hey, I saved her life.
"That was embarrassing!" she looked around. Probably trying to see if people are still staring at her. Yeah, like they noticed us.
"They didn't notice us!!! And if they did… why would they care?" I explained.
"Please, just…don't lie." She said.
I wasn't lying. It was true. Yes, they probably noticed us standing up while I was close to beating him up, but… would they know? I mean, they were all talking to each other, socializing.
"I'm not lying. And why are you so mad at me anyways? Did you see how he looked at you? He looked at you like he wanted to grab you and get naked with you." I answered back.
"Hahaha"
"Great. Thanks, Squall for saying
that." Rinoa said sarcastically.
I turned back to see who it was. It was Irvine.
Just great.
"Did he really? Huh, Squall?"
another person said.
Rinoa rolled her eyes. And I could
tell that she was annoyed. Really annoyed.
I turned back again to see who it
was. Great. Zell. With Selphie and Quistis.
Just great.
"Looks like our lone wolf is jealous." Selphie said.
"You are?" Rinoa asked me.
"…"
Quistis giggled while Irvine was
making a fake cough.
Great. Not only I didn't get to
tell Rinoa my feelings for her, it also turned out really embarrassing. Gee,
thanks to Seifer. And didn't they know how much I hate being called, "lone
wolf"???
