- A-Note- Don't own FF7 and I never will so there I said it satisfied! =p j/k
Sorry for taking so long on getting the 4th chapter up, school just started this week so I've been really tired; but enough of my life story let's see what happens to Aeris.
**********************
"Oh my god…Tifa?" Aeris said still in shock
"That's right the one and only" Tifa said with her oh so confident tone
Aeris stood in shock, debating whither she should run for her life or talk things out with Zack and Tifa.
"So you're still alive…where's your little boyfriend?" Zack said standing up looking as defiant as Tifa.
Aeris looked away from them with a hurt expression, holding onto her flower pendant.
"I-I don't…need to tell you anything you are no longer my keeper Zack." Aeris almost seemed to whisper.
"Yeah you made sure of that!" Tifa exclaimed loud enough for the whole bar to turn heads.
Aeris ignored her statement and looked at the wooden floor.
I feel so lost without you I need you Cl- Aeris's thinking came to an abrupt haught when Sephiroth walked through the door.
"Aeris where have you been?" Sephiroth said breaking the tension in the room
"Sephiroth? I-" Aeris began
"Oh so you've got another boy toy." Tifa said with annoying screech.
"Tifa please." Zack said getting somewhat annoyed
Sephiroth looked at Tifa and Zack then looked at Aeris who looked like she was lost.
"Aeris are these people bothering you?" Sephiroth said in a comforting tone
Aeris turned to face away from Tifa and Zack and sighed loudly as if going to cry.
"Come on Aeris, if your not feeling well let's go back to the inn." Sephiroth assured her.
"Yes…please take me out of here." Aeris held back a sniffle
"You won't get away with this!" Tifa yelled after them
"Tifa let it slide ok, let's just enjoy our vacation." Zack said trying to calm her down.
Tifa humphed and sat down
I will take Aeris down if it's the last thing I do…and if she's alive Cloud has to be as well. Tifa thought and laughed a little to herself and put her cheery face back on as if nothing happened.
*********
Aeris and Sephiroth walked into the Cherryvale Inn both in a gloomy mood. Aeris because her life could end at any moment while Sephiroth because had missed the majority of the dinner party.
"Some dinner party huh?" Sephiroth mused
"I'm sorry, I ruined it." Aeris said with a low whisper.
"Don't be ridiculous, those two dopes are the ones that made you late." Sephiroth assured her
Aeris cracked a weak smile and remained silent.
"So…uh would like something to drink or anything in general?" Sephiroth offered
Aeris looked into Sephiroth's mesmerizing eyes, she hadn't felt this kind of trust in a long time.
"Yes." Aeris simply put it
Sephiroth walked over to the desk receptionist and asked for his key.
"Oh hello Mr. Sephiroth, what may I get for you?" The receptionist asked in a perky New- Yorker accent.
"Room 157 A please." Sephiroth requested
"Here you are, have a pleasant stay." The receptionist smiled brightly, pushing some of her blond hair behind her ear.
Sephiroth and Aeris left the lobby of the inn and went upstairs meanwhile someone was just coming through the door.
"Yes may I help you sir?" The perky desk receptionist asked
"Uh yeah I'd like to get a room please." Cloud said putting
"Name please?" The receptionist asked
"Cloud Strife." Cloud said nonchalantly
The blonde haired receptionist eyed him curiously, while typing on her computer for possible room openings.
"Here's a room…uh room 157 A." The receptionist muttered.
"Great I'll take it." Cloud flashed a smile and gathered his things going upstairs.
The receptionist looked on as Cloud went up the stairs.
"I hope what I'm doing is right…" The young receptionist said clasping her hands together. *******
Aeris held her drink in her hand nervously, while Sephiroth poured his.
"So let's talk." Sephiroth said a cool tone
"About?" Aeris led on
"Hmm…how about we talk about you…I'm interested." Sephiroth said taking a seat on a stool near his mini bar.
"Well, that's not a very interesting subject." Aeris laughed a bit and turned to face away from Sephiroth.
"See that's your problem, low self-esteem." Sephiroth said waving a finger
"I do not it's just that-" Aeris stopped mid-sentence she could never tell Sephiroth the truth about her past.
"Did I say something wrong, I-"
"No, it's just that…I don't think I could ever tell you about my past…it hurts too much." Aeris said barely above a whisper.
"The forget about it." Sephiroth simply put it.
"What?" Aeris gasped
"If it hurts so much, forget your past…concentrate on your future." Sephiroth said getting up and getting closer to Aeris.
"I-I just can't…" Aeris said with a hint of confusion in her voice
Sephiroth set his wine glass down, and put his hands on her shoulders, Aeris felt suddenly relaxed and almost dropped her glass.
"Sephiroth I-" Aeris stopped mid-sentence, while blushing uncontrollably.
Sephiroth hushed her with one finger and turned her around to face him. Aeris looked away then looked at his magnificent aqua enchanting eyes.
"Do you-" Sephiroth slowly began while taking Aeris's wine glass and setting it on the mantelshelf.
Sephiroth leaned closer to Aeris's ear and whispered.
"Want me" Sephiroth finished and waited for Aeris's response.
Aeris looked at him wide eyed, obviously stricken with shock, and to be perfectly honest Aeris didn't know.
"I-" Aeris began still in the state of shock
"Because if you do…it's right here, it always has been but are you willing to take it?" Sephiroth said in a cool, calm collective tone.
Aeris looked at him, then at his bed(getting ideas huh? ^^) then looked back at him with a smirk to cover up her real feelings.
Before Aeris had a chance to respond, Sephiroth brushed his lips against hers lightly. Aeris looked at him longingly and then put her hand on his face to bring him in for a longer and more passionate kiss.
What am I doing I still love Cloud! I can't do this! Aeris tried to pull away, but she was in heaven or so she thought as a familiar face opened the door with a look of shock on his face.
Cloud! Aeris mentally yelled to herself as she stared in his sapphire eyes full of heartbreak…
