Passionate Affections
Chapter IX
Author's Notes: I am so, so sorry for not writing this sooner as I said I would. I have been very busy this week, I haven't got time for myself. First, I got cosplay week at my school and I only had a few days to make costumes. Second, I got essays, quizzes, test -- the usual crap. Friday, I went out and saw "Signs". I didn't really enjoy it because there was this woman behind me that just wouldn't shut the hell up. Saturday, I had this big project and I needed to meet up with some friends. I left at ten o'clock. Sunday, I went out again, came back home, saw some rented movies, and here I am at 11:24 typing this. So you see, I have an extremly lame excuse, but I'll deal with it. Oh yeah, and I'm hurrying up with my website, too. Now let's all forget this and on with the story.
~(Squall's POV)~
It was morning already. I barely didn't sleep, thinking about tomorrow.
I was in front of Rinoa's door. I wondered, what kind of pathetic story she'd bring up today? I would just laugh at her face. I must say she's one hell of an actress. I was impressed, except not.
I was just about to knock, when she opened the door. I guess she expected my arrival. Well, she even had it scheduled.
"What are you doing here?", she asked. "Well, this is my room, too. Besides, I think you were waiting for me.", I replied.
"Waiting for you? Why would I ever wait for you? After last night? I never want to see you again."
"Oh, quit the bull, Rinoa. I know what you're doing."
"Yeah, trying to get away from you."
"Well, I guess I have my own little actress here now."
"Better than you? No way."
"You're so caught up with it, you actually believe it."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, you know what I'm talking about. See, I had this little chat with Seifer the other night. I think it was about a little deal you guys had?"
"Deal? What deal?"
"For chists sake, Rinoa, quit the act!"
"..."
"Why? Just tell me, why?"
"Because ... I love you, Squall. I wanted you for me."
"You cannot manipulate me! I mean, god Rinoa, let me go my own way."
"I know, but ...."
"I'm not your man toy!"
At this moment Rinoa's tears swelled up. I guess maybe she wasn't faking it this time. Does she expect me to have a consolation moment, forgive her right away, and waltz right into her arms once again? No, I don't think so. I wondered something else ...
"Just tell me one thing: Was there gil involed?"
"....."
"Answer me!"
" ... y-yes."
"(scoffs) Well, this is just great. Is that all I'm worth? So, you used me and had money around it? Sound like you really love me. You're one of those women who try to get a guy no matter what. Well, it isn't going to work this time. Not by you, and not by Seifer!", I finished as I walked outside and slammed the door. I felt proud of finally having that courage I needed. It's amazing how much happens when you keep quiet.
I went out to look for Seifer now. I knew he couldn't be far. I immediately checked out the lobby, where he spent most if his time. Just as I thought -- he was there; alone. He was sitting in the couches, looking like he was waiting for someone. I don't care really, but I was talking to him.
"I hope you enjoy the gil.", I said as I passed by him, then continuing my own way.
"I ... didn't take the money.", he said, as I stopped and turned around to look at him.
"Why? Just tell me why, Seifer. You know how I loved you. I would walk to the end of the world for you -- the one I truly love. You've hurt me, Seifer, you really hurt me."
"I don't know. I mean, I thought you liked Rinoa and everything -- you seemed so happy together. But know that I found out that you have feelings for me, well, I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to get into problems of people see me with you. Then Rinoa found out and she made the deal ... I thought it was for the best."
"It's not. You should follow your heart. Learn from my mistake."
"I know that know. But Squall ... "
To be continued ...

Comments: Well, it's obvious what's going to happen. Sadly, this story id finishing. Yes, only two more chapters. And I'll promise I'll try to write them faster. Anyway, I got this really cool idea I thought of. Not for the story, but something that suddenly came to mind. I won't try to boost my ego, though.
Read & write reviews for a happy fangirl. ^_^
