Passionate Affections
Chapter II
Author's Note: Thanks everyone for their reviews. Now for another chapter. Expect this story updated frequently. I'm still on my vacation, which is wearing thin, and I'm writing more than ever. I could possibly finish the story in a week and a half or so. I decided the story will go on with Squall's POV for now. If I ever change my mind, I'll let you know. For now, enjoy.
~(Squall's POV)~
I woke up to the smell of chocobo eggs cooking in the morning. I looked beside me and I noticed Rinoa had woken up first today. Usually it's the other way around. This happens sometimes when Rinoa has something important to tell me or an important event was going to take place that Rinoa couldn't wait to go. I wondered ...
I remember thinking to myself in my slumber, that I was going to tell Rinoa that this relationship wasn't going to work out. That I would come out and tell her, and how I feel about a certain person. About how my lifestyle was ... different. Maybe this wasn't going to be so tough after all. Maybe she'll take it okay. I hope.
I sat on the bed and ran my fingers through my dark, brown hair. I got up and headed to the kitchen, without even bothering to fix the bed. I thought the faster I told her, the better this weight gets lift off my shoulder. I was suddenly feeling nervous.
There in the kitchen, Rinoa was in her robe, and was cooking chocobo eggs. I sat down in the chair and she turned around and found me sitting lazy at the table.
"Good morning!", Rinoa said cheerfully. "Mornin'.", I said with the most sleepiest and laziest tone of voice. "Hmm, I see you're still a bit asleep. You can rest down a bit until I finish.", she replied. I was surprised she seemed so calm. Maybe she was in a good mood. This was the perfect chance.
" Uh, Rinoa. I ... have something to tell you."
"Oh, great. Because I have something to tell you, too." I was very surpised. Maybe she did want to talk about our relationship, too, and I didn't have to say anything. Great! But before anything, I had to make sure. "You first.", I insisted.
"Okay", she suddenly turned cheerfully again, "Well, I want to talk about us. Our relationship.".
"You know, I wanted to talk about that, too."
"We're going along so great, but .."
"Don't say more. I totally understand how you feel."
"You do?"
"Yeah, I do. This relationship between us has gone way too far, and --"
"Yes, and people change --"
"Yeah, and we love each other and --"
"Of course. Well, I just got off the phone with Headmaster Cid and he wants ..."
"Yes?"
"... To get us married."
What?! I thought that she was going to change her mind, but get married?! My heart was racing 100 miles per hour. What was I going to say? I can't tell her now. She'll flip! And now Cid is in this, too? The whole town may probably know by now, and I haven't said anything. Damn it!
"Uh, that's great.", I said. That came out cheesy, but I wasn't expecting this. Especially, something I definately wasn't going to agree on.
"So, what were you going to say?", asked Rinoa. "You read my mind. I guess the same.", I lied, accompanied by a fake and nervous laugh.
"This is great!", she said extremely excited and she hugged me. Even shocked, I hugged her back. I had to play along.
Well, I might as well give my hopes up. I guess I'm taking that road of regret. The one where I'll never be happy. The one where the actors play their parts. I guess I have to hide my feelings from now, and fake my happiness until the end of time.
Even if I was going to tell her, it would have been harder than I thought. I would feel a guilty conscience for leaving her like that, but even so if I'm not happy. What will happen in the future? Will my life continue like this? I guess I'll take the biggest risk and swallow it even if don't like it.
