The Secret Area
Squall entered his dorm room, to find Rinoa asleep on top of his bed. She looked so cute and adorable, that Squall smiled in spite of himself. Poor girl, he thought. She waited for so long for me to come back that she fell asleep.
He walked over to her, bent down and tucked her raven hair behind her ears. Rinoa stirred a little and then opened her sleepy eyes.
"S-sorry I didn't mean to wake you," said Squall in a worried tone.
"It's alright. I shouldn't have fallen asleep anyway," said Rinoa in a soft, sleepy voice.
Squall sat down on the bed next to Rinoa. She put one arm across his chest and leaned her head against his shoulder. Squall slowly put his arm around her. Rinoa giggled softly at this sudden act.
"Uh.. Rinoa, the SeeD Graduation Ball is coming up soon and I was wondering if you.." said Squall, trailing off.
"If I.." said Rinoa mimetically.
"Well, if you'd come with me," said Squall hopefully.
Rinoa sat up and said, "Of course I'll come Squall! You didn't have to ask me!"
"Well I just thought that you might have other things to do," said Squall, looking away.
"Squall, even if I did have other plans, there's no place I'd rather be than with you!" said Rinoa, tapping Squall's chest with one finger at her last sentence.
Squall smiled, pulled Rinoa close to him, and kissed her lips passionately. Rinoa smiled while he was kissing her and slipped her arms around him.
Later that day, Squall made up his mind to finish off his paperwork once and for all so that he could spend more time with Rinoa.
Finally, he did it! Triumphantly, Squall gathered it all up and put it in a pile at the side of his desk. Running out of his office, he started to sweat a bit, so Squall decided to take a shower when he got back in his room.
When Squall reached the dorm rooms, he, instead of going into his own dorm room, knocked on the door of Rinoa's.
"Who is it?" called the familiar voice.
"Me," called back Squall.
"Squall? If that's you, don't come in!" yelled Rinoa.
"Why not?" said Squall, felling a little bit hurt, but knowing that Rinoa wasn't mad at him.
"Because.. ah, um.. just don't come in! I'll meet you at the [Secret Area] at 6:00 ok Squall?" said Rinoa.
"Ok, I guess.." said Squall.
"Don't be mad at me please, Squall?" asked Rinoa.
"I'm not mad, just confused," said Squall, in a confused voice.
"Oh ok then. Well anyway, meet me there alright sweetie?" said Rinoa in an adorable voice.
"Uh.. ok, then," sad Squall. Sweetie? What's she calling me that for? I'm no sweetie.. at least I think I'm not.. thought Squall.
He slowly walked back to his dorm room, wondering what Rinoa had up her sleeve. Couple of months ago, Squall wouldn't have even been talking to Rinoa the way he did. She sure had changed him..
Squall stepped into the bathroom and took a nice hot shower. He figured he'd better look his best when he met up with Rinoa, since she sounded as though she was getting ready too.
He decided to just wear his usual black, leather jacket that Rinoa loved so much. Sometimes she liked to snuggle up against the soft, furry bit near the neck.
Squall then pulled on his black gloves, along with his two belts that went around his waist in a certain way.
Squall then waited for quite a long time before he set off for the [Secret Area]. He made his way through the beautiful gardens that was the [Secret Area] which was deserted. Maybe Rinoa told everyone to clear off tonight, thought Squall.
He walked some more, before finding the beautiful girl he was searching for, sitting down waiting for him.
Squall was stunned because she looked so pretty in her short, cream coloured little skirt. Rinoa saw the look on his face and she giggled.
Standing up, she said, "Thanks so much for coming Squall. I brought dinner for us,"
Feeling hungry all of a sudden, Squall sat down with Rinoa and they ate a nice dinner while exchanging romantic looks at one another.
When they'd both finished, Squall helped Rinoa clear away the remains of the little meal.
"Thanks for dinner Rinoa," said Squall.
"That's ok. I enjoyed making it!" replied Rinoa.
"What?! You made it?! Rinoa, that was delicious!" exclaimed Squall.
"Hee hee, I'm glad you liked it," said Rinoa softly.
"I loved it," said Squall, smiling. "Especially since you made it."
Rinoa moved over to Squall, to sit in his lap. She put her arms around his neck and said suddenly, "Squall, guess what?"
"What?" asked Squall.
"Well, I sort of.. no not sort of.." Rinoa trailed off, feeling embarrassed.
"What are you trying to say Rinoa?" asked Squall curiously.
"Squall, what I'm trying to say is.. I love you," Rinoa looked at him.
Squall was stunned. "Rinoa." he said quietly.
Rinoa put a finger to her lips and shook her head. "No, Squall. You don't have to say anything. I just wanted you to know, that's all."
But Squall felt he had to say something. And not just because he wanted to make her feel better, it was because he knew that he felt something very deep inside him that was love.
But he just couldn't get the words out. So Squall took Rinoa in his arms from where she was sitting on his lap, and hugged her tightly.
Rinoa was slightly disappointed. She knew that she had told him not to say anything, but she still wasn't completely satisfied.
When the couple had stopped hugging each other, they made their way back to the dormitory, together.
Squall went into his room, and Rinoa followed him.
"Aren't you going back to your dorm?" he asked.
"Umm, not exactly. It gets lonely there all by myself, so.. do you think I could stay the night in here, with you?" asked Rinoa, blushing slightly.
"Sure, I guess," replied Squall.
"Yay! Thanks Squall!"
And Rinoa bounded up to him and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Rinoa brought in her things from her own dorm room, and went into the bathroom to get changed.
Squall just took off his jacket.
When Rinoa came out of the bathroom, she was wearing a baby blue nightgown that only went down to her thighs.
Rinoa smiled at Squall and got into his bed.
Squall was taken aback. "Wha.. hey! W-where will I sleep?"
"In here with me, of course!" answered Rinoa, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Squall slowly got into the bed next to Rinoa. There wasn't much room, but he soon made himself comfortable.
Rinoa put Squall's arm around her and held it there.
Then Squall fidgeted a bit, causing Rinoa to look at him, with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Sorry. It's just that.." said Squall.
"It's just that.. what?" asked Rinoa.
"I need to tell you this because I know it will just kill me if I don't." Squall took a deep breath and said, "Rinoa, I really do love you. Please don't think that I don't."
"Squall." whispered Rinoa. And she cuddled up to him to keep warm during the night, and also because he had made her so happy.
Ok, finally Ch. 3 is done. Hope you liked it, and sorry about the long wait. Plz R+R and tell me what you thought because I'd like to know. Give me some time to start Ch. 4!
