After sometime, Seifer moved back and smiled. "How's that?" he asked
Rinoa. But his face twitched after seeing her almost horrified expression.
"What have I done?" Seifer wanted to kick himself. "I'm so stupid," seeing Rinoa's face at that moment made him go limp. Of course, he himself enjoyed the kiss but Rinoa obviously didn't. The last thing he ever wanted was Rinoa never speaking to him and hating him forever.
"Rinoa, I-I'm so sorry!" Seifer's words stumbled over the others. "I didn't- I guess I was just."-he couldn't remember when was the last time he was tongue-tied-"just missing YOU." There, he said it.
Now Rinoa was more surprised than ever. She couldn't believe what she heard. She just sat there silently, as she didn't know what to say.
"This is terrible," fear crepat into Seifer's head. "Why on earth do I have to tell her that?" he asked himself, a long tensed awkwardness filled the two of them. Rinoa remained as stiff as a cardboard while Seifer cannot sit still. For a long time, neither of them had spoken.
Finally, Seifer inched away from Rinoa. Breaking the silence, he said, "I'm sorry. Please forget what I have done and what I have said. I got carried away.thinking about how different it would be if."
"We're still together."
Rinoa turned her head and faced him her expression, somewhat a little harder to read. "You left me Seifer," she began with bitterness. "I didn't know where you went and when you finally returned, you were a completely different person I don't even recognized." She immediately looked away as her eyes were getting watery.
"Yes, you're right," Seifer agreed and he knew that the reality of her words had cut deep inside him. "I'm just hoping that you could forgive me for all the pain I've caused you." ["Maybe this is why I'm paying the price right now."]
"Sure, I forgive you, Seifer. That was in the past. You'll be my friend for always," Rinoa declared brightly after a long time.
"My friend for always." The words repeated itself in Seifer's thoughts. "it's okay. At least she's speaking to me now."
"Hey, Rinoa," Seifer said, pushing the dead air surrounding them. "Since we're together, I just thought of something.Well, I'm just wondering if you can still remember that summer we had?.."
Rinoa didn't have to let him finish what he has to say. Of course, she remembered. How could she ever forget? That was one of the nicest things that happened to her during her 17 years of existence. "I can remember that summer very clearly." She replied. "That one we've had was great."
Seifer laughed coyly while looking at the dark skies. "Yes. That was when I wasn't able to attend your birthday because I was under probation. Zone has said you really freaked out because you were so mad and you never wanted to speak to me again."
"It was Rinoa's turn to laugh. "Hey! I didn't!"
"C'mon, admit it. I tried to call you but you were always making excuses." Seifer put in. Rinoa reddened thankful that it was already dark. "That night was a huge success. Except for that kittle incident at the beach." he was teasing her.
"Please stop!" Rinoa was doubled over with laughter. "You always knew I didn't want to."
"Step in that hole somebody had dugged into the sand and then you twisted your ankle?" Seifer finished for her, still laughing.
"It was an accident," Rinoa defended.
"Yeah it was. You tried so hard not to cry probably because you're embarrassed with me. But then you couldn't help it."
"Meany! You still made fun of me when you know that I'm in pain." Rinoa told him in mocked anger.
"But you've got to thank me 'coz I was there to carry you back into our car which was about a kilometer away from the shore." Seifer told her. He and Rinoa was actually having fun. He is glad he was able to lighten her mood after hanging dark clouds on her thoughts.
