CHP. 2. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL
"Dammit!" Pissed, Seifer slammed his wardrobe door. He was having trouble dressing up for the upcoming celebration which will start in just about 2 hours or less. This is what he hated for attending parties, formal clothes. He hated them! And now he can't show up. It isn't like he wanted to come so much or he wanted to see Squall. It's more like wanting to say his regards to Rinoa, who he had long known way back before Squall had meet her for the first time.
"Oi, why being so loud, Seifer?" It was Irvine, Seifer's dorm mate. Inside the Elite SeeD dormitory, he and Irvine was the only one who occupied the F blocks.
"Nothing," he hollered back as he crumpled his fists. Wait. Maybe he could ask Irvine for help. He knew that it would be so unlike himself, but this is for the sake of Rinoa and Squall. "Hey Cowboy."
".Hm?"
Without waiting for longer response Seifer strolled towards the door and twisted it open. "Mind if you do me a favor?" His voice was low and quiet as if he was telling a secret.
".Sounds important. Depends, though. How may I help?" Irvine, the former Galbadian student, was already dressed in his formal, ready to leave to the garden where his girlfriend, Selphie, was waiting. He was wearing a long grey coat, paired with a grey cowboy hat, white shirt, grey trousers and a black butterfly tie.
"Um. I'm having trouble with formals. I didn't have them. U got spares?" Seifer bit his lips, afraid that Irvine will make fun of him and laugh at him.
The long-haired brunette male parted his lips and rolled his eyes. "Sure. Why don't you ask from first? Ya lucky I knock on your door, ya know. hehe." He smiled and walked back to his dorm. Seifer, with his chest bare, followed him into his room. "Uh-uh. No one enters my private room except for me and my Selphie." As he finished the sentenced, he winked and moved his finger, signaling him to wait outside. After a few while, Irvine exit his room with a pile of black clothes and handed it to Seifer.
".Thanks." He couldn't help to smile, glad that his worries are finally over.
"Hey, my pleasure. Lucky you I'm a stylish man." And with that he walked outside making his way to the garden. A few girls in long dresses and gowns passed by. Perhaps they were also heading for Squalls' party. He hesitated no longer and walked back into his bedroom, stood before the mirror and unfolded the black coat, followed by a black shirt.
".Whew." Can't believe he had to wear all these clothes.
After grooming his hair and was finished in his suit, he took a last glance of himself in the mirror. Black coat, black shirt and trousers, and a black boot. "Eww." he snickered to himself. Seifer always feel comfortable whenever he's inside his grey coat and his vest, nothing else, especially wearing the clothes that don't belong to him.
Everything was set and he was ready to go. On his own, he walked down the dim hallways and headed towards the garden. There were also some familiar faces who were walking his way. 'Sheesh, it's gonna be one hell of a crowded party, alright.' Meanwhile while he was about to enter the gates that'll lead him towards the outdoor ball, he bumped onto Zell. He was half running. Maybe it was because he's too energetic or maybe it's because he need to go to the bathroom or he forgot something in his room. "Hey." Seifer hissed as he winced in pain. "Watch where you're going, will ya Chicken-wuss.!"
"Sorry," he lifted his arms trying to apologize. "You're all so black I couldn't notice you in places as dark as these."
"Whatever." he walked past him and entered the ballroom. The band that was on the stage played light Jazz musics, accompanying those who were dancing on the marble floor. Selphie and Irvine was seen dancing between the youngsters who filled the ball. Seifer looked around and glimpsed the couple, Squall and Rinoa, holding hands on the side of the pool. She was dressed in a long milky gown with a pearl necklace hanging on her neck and Squall was in a tux. He made his way through the crowd, trying to approach the two.
"Seifer!" Rinoa lightened up and smiled when she saw Seifer coming their way.
"Never thought he'll risk his time for this," Squall said to himself. Rinoa narrowed her eyes and stared at him for a while, then smiled.
"Why can't you be more grateful?" She wiped his bangs from his face.
From a distance Seifer smiled at them. "Hey guys," he spoke after he managed to escape the crowd. "Congratulations." He stretched his arms and opened his palm, waiting for them to grab and shake it.
Rinoa smiled widely and nodded politely. "Thank you very much." She then shook his hand, followed by Squall.
"You look pretty, Rinoa. And you, Squall, you don't talk a lot even though it's your engagement day, do you?"
Squall smiled. He couldn't possibly express himself that he was happy for Seifer's attendance. "Thanks." He tapped his hand on Seifer's broad shoulder.
"That's wayyy better." He smiled back, causing his jade pair of eyes to glow.
"By the way have you seen Quistis around?" Rinoa grabbed his hand and her face filled with excitement. What could it be? About Quistis? What could be so exciting about that sophisticated woman?
"Um. No. Just got here. Why? She didn't show up..?"
Rinoa chuckled heartly as she loosen her grip on Seifer's muscled arms. "It's not that. She's just looking so. umm. very verryyy beautiful tonight! You must go and check it out!"
'Beautiful? She already look fine everyday, how attractive can she be? Wonder where she is?' Questions revolved around his brain. 'And why is this girl sounding so excited? Oh well Rinoa's always so lively about everything.' He thought silently in his mind. "Well I'll go and have a walk around and see if I could meet her any how. Anyway, enjoy your day."
And then he left and dispersed into the thick crowd of guests. Some were busy drinking the cocktails that were served. Some were just sitting on the corners of the garden, having a nice chat. A few couples were dancing on the floor, swinging in the melody of smooth swing played live by the band. The place was teeming with people, he could barely move freely around. And with this how can he manage to find Quistis? She could be anywhere around and there's no way he could locate her inside this huge mass. Let's just hope that God is on his side.
It was beginning to get boring. Seifer leaned onto a pillar by his own. He couldn't find anybody to talk with. All he gets was some group of girls looking at him with lusty eyes, whispering 'he's so hot' or any other words like that. "That's it, I'm going home." He left walked upstairs and placed the cup of cocktail on the side of the stairways. From the end of the outdoor hallway, he could see a tall and slim figure walking his way. A girl with long, straight, blonde hair wearing a white tube dress and white leather choker was strolling down his path in her white knee-length boots. Instead of staring at her, Seifer lowered his head since he could find himself being sleepy already. But out of his consciousness, he wasn't walking in a straight lane and unexpectedly his shoulder bumped onto hers, causing her to wobble and fall. Thanks to his quick impulse, he stretched out his arms and caught her before her hips hit the floor.
"I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" He helped her back onto her feet. She fixed her hair and tossed it to her back, giving the full sight of her beautiful face. A pair of sparkling blue eyes was looking through his. He felt his heart skipped a beat cause something in those eyes reminded him of Quistis.
[I never knew girls existed like you.]
[But now that I do]
[I'd really like to get to know you]
She smiled and nodded. She sniggered quietly when she knew that her beauty had amused him. It's not that she was being over-confident over her own self, it's just that his face could tell it all. "Thanks," she whispered in a low and husky voice.
[She is beautiful]
[She is beautiful]
[She is beautiful]
[She is beautiful]
[The girl is beautiful]
Seifer was dazed by her gorgeousness. He kept watching her until she disappeared into the crowd as soon as she managed to walk down the stairways. He couldn't get her smile off his head, and couldn't help smiling all the way to reach his dorm. That's the first time he had ever felt this way, and now he wants to seek for some more.
[And though I never know you]
[I look at your face.]
[To tell you that I love you]
[Don't know what to say]
[Give everything I got to the beautiful girl]
[The only thing I live for in the whole wide world]
"Quisty? Nah. Can't be." He said to himself as he entered his room and closed the door behind him.
A-N :: guess who she is? Hmm. ^_^ I'll tell you later in the upcoming chapters. Tell me what you think about the chapter, okie? BTW, the song that I'm using is. Andrew W.K's She Is Beautiful.
