Irvine's lips curled in a smile. Selphie, his angel, stood before him, her green eyes full of light.
He stepped closer to her, his long fingers reaching out to touch her cheek. More than anything
right now he needed to feel the soft snow white skin he had grown to love. He touched her,
and she gave a tender smile.
"Give me a hug Irvy."
He moved closer and wrapped his arms around her, needing to know she was alright. The feel
of her in his arms, the smell of her hair, everything he loved about her was there. She pulled
away and gave a sly grin.
"Do you love me Irvy?"
"Of course I do Selphie. You know that."
"I know. And that's why it hurts me so much to do this."
Irvine saw the knife coming at him and stumbled backward in surprise. He felt himself falling
backward onto the hard floor, and instantly pain shot up his back. He looked up at Selphie.
"Wha...what are you doing?"
She took an intimidating step closer. "Well...I love Seifer now, and he told me I had to get rid
of you." She gave a sneering grin. "That's what my plan is."
Irvine backed up against the wall and watched as the knife went right for his chest...
He sat up straight in his bed. It took him a few seconds to realize he was back in his bed at
Garden, drenched in a cold sweat. He rubbed his face and looked at the clock. 5:25 A.M.
"This completely sucks." With a sigh, he stood up and headed for the bathroom. There was no
way he was going to sleep until Selphie was found.
***
Selphie paced back and forth, trying to burn off the anger. She had never felt more humiliated
then she had tonight. Did she really confess to Seifer that she liked him?
Suddenly everything caught up to her. The kidnaping, the embarrassment...
She walked right out of her room and headed for Seifer's, her feet stomping all the way. She
flung open the door only to see he wasn't there. Her annoyance increased as she closed the
door and headed down the stairs. "He always has to make everything difficult doesn't he?"
As she reached the bottom of the stairs she spotted him sitting on the couch. He looked even
more drunk than when he had kidnaped her. She marched up to him and put her hands on her
hips. Seifer looked up and gave a grin.
"You don't look so happy." He reached up and touched her face. "Do you want me to make
you feel better?"
Selphie's anger left her as confusion took its place. "Seifer what are you doing?"
He pulled her closer, so even though he was sitting, their faces were almost touching. "I'm
making up for earlier" he said, his voice low.
Selphie didn't know what to do. Part of her was still hurt but part of her...
She closed her eyes as he pulled her closer to him. It was only a matter of seconds before she
felt his lips pressing against hers, his well sculpted lips devouring hers. Her arms wrapped
around him as he pulled her into his lap.
Selphie finally came back to her senses and pushed Seifer away. She stood up and touched her
lips. "Wh-Why did you kiss me?"
Seifer looked at her. Why did he kiss her? She was the most annoying girl he had ever met.
And yet she made him laugh.
It was kind of an odd reason, but it was something he needed more than anything right now.
He had enjoyed himself more in the past 24 hours than he had in such a long time. Not to
mention she wasn't bad to look at either.
Finally, he shrugged. "Why do people usually kiss each other?"
Her eyes widened. "You like me? But you said just a few hours ago that-"
"Dammit I know!" He stood up and ran his hands through his hair. "Selphie, we don't belong
together and I know that. You should know that too."
"But why don't we belong together? I mean we grew up in the same orphanage, went to the
same Garden for awhile..." It dawned on her. That's exactly why. She was a SeeD and he
was her enemy. "Well, they would forgive you! I mean, Squall's more open, Zell's not as hyper
now that he's with the library girl, and Irvine..." Her boyfriend. The one who was probably
searching high and low for her right now.
"Oh Hyne. I forgot about Irvine."
Seifer gave a bitter laugh. "See Selphie? The odds are against us. No matter what there
would always be someone mad or someone trying to break apart."
Selphie didn't know what to say. She knew in her heart she cared more for Seifer than Irvine
but could she really do that to the cowboy? He was still her boyfriend after all. And what if this
Seifer thing was just a phase?
She nodded. "I suppose you're right." She started back up to room and stopped at the top of
the stairs. "You know, I came down here originally to yell at you for earlier. Isn't it weird how
things turn out?"
Without another word she disappeared into her room.

Sorry this took so long. I didn't know where to go with it. Anyway in the next chapter Irvine
and Selphie will meet again. PLEASE review! Thanx!
