"You're KIDDING ME!" I laughed hysterically at Seifer who had just told me
about first meeting Squall's now girlfriend Rinoa.
"No, I'm not! I was walking down the streets of Timber and she just.FELL on me!" Seifer laughed. "Like she fell out of the sky or something! Turns out she was on the roof, hiding from some soldiers, and she fell off the roof, just on top of me!" I couldn't help but to laugh. I remember meeting Rinoa and she did seem that flighty. (AN: no offense to Rinoa lovers.k?)
I decided to play stupid for a moment. "Is Rinoa you're girlfriend?" I asked causally. I could tell instantly this struck a major cord. I picked up my coffee and drank it slowly as I watched Seifer find the worlds.
"No." He took in a deep breath. "She loves someone else, and maybe they deserve each other." Seifer leaned forward over his barely touched lunch. "Now let me ask you something."
I placed my coffee on the table. "Ok."
"Why aren't you afraid of me?" I kept my cool. 'What a question.why aren't I afraid of you.'
"I don't see the point in being afraid of you." This was the truth. I didn't see the point in being afraid of him.
"I killed all those people.normally people don't even come five feet of me, but you. You don't seem to care." He raised his eyebrow at me.
What did he want me to say? 'Hey don't worry, I kill people too! We can do it together.' I picked up my coffee again and took a sip. Then it dawned on me. "You said killed didn't you?" He nodded sadly. "That's past tense." I was more or less saying what I was thinking now.
"What? You think I still kill people?" I looked back up at him.
"No! I never said that Seifer. I don't think you are still killing people!" But some people do. Seifer stood up from his seat at the café. "No, please, don't leave." But he was already walking away. "SEIFER!" He wasn't going to look back at me. "Great, just great Nikki. How am I suppose to finish this?" I placed my right hand over my temples.I felt a large headache coming on.

Soaking in the large tub in the bathroom was not helping my situation.but it was helping my headache. Sighing I heard a sound I did not need to hear for the rest of my life.the communicator was ringing. "Shit." Slowly rising I grabbed my only extra long T-Shirt and pulled it over my head, it would be soaking wet by the end, but I didn't care. I grabbed the communicator and opened it. "What?"
"How's it going?" It was Zell. I opened my eyes to see the perky blonde staring back at me. I told him the story of the evening events.
"To make matters worse, I don't think he'll be coming back to talk to me."
"He's lying, we have proof he killed those people. You just have to keep trying. I'll check in tomorrow morning. Stay calm and stay cool." I nodded and closed the communicator. I lay down on the bed and curled up in a ball.
"I've known him for a week.and yet, I feel like I've known him for more then that." I closed my eyes but the sound of rustling paper made them open again. I looked over by the door just in time to see an envelope being pushed through the bottom the door. "What the." Getting up I walked over to the door and picked up. It was addressed "Nikki." After disregarding the envelope I read the message written in a sort of sloppy cursive.
"Nikki, I'm sorry for earlier. I had a lot on my mind, and I was stupid for accusing you of thinking that." But I did think it because I was told you did. "Please accept my apology? I hope to see you sometime soon. With love, Almasy." Why does he sign things with Almasy? I sighed heavily and walked over to my bag. I decided to go see him, no weapons, just me. I needed to see what Matron saw.
"No, I'm not! I was walking down the streets of Timber and she just.FELL on me!" Seifer laughed. "Like she fell out of the sky or something!
