Chapter 9 - Threat, Death and Will
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunlight beaming. Forcing me to awake. Opened my eyes and looked around. Where did Squall go? Got myself to stand and heard something crack. I looked down only to find I was standing on battle cards and potato chips. "Ugh... never again do I play cards with Squall... too much tequila" I said and pulled down the blinds. I smoothed out my clothes and went for the main entrance. Found Squall, Zell and Irvine outside, working out. Squall with his push ups, Zell with his punching and Irvine blocking.
"Do you guys ever stop training?" I asked.
"Yeah sure we do! When the cuties are outside to play" Irvine replied as Zell laughed and threw him another right, left punch.
I walked up to Squall. He was paying no attention and continued to count his push ups.
"54......... 55......... 56" Squall counted and I sat on his back, Indian style. Still no attention. He continued to do the push ups with no struggle. "57.......... 58......... 59......" Could he be any more cold? Not even a hello! I tickled his bare back knowing he would give in... Nothing "60......... 61......... 62"
"Hey leave the man alone. He's had a rough morning" Zell said to get me to cut him some slack.
"What are you talking about?" I said with a gig.
".........63.... 64.... 65...." Squall counted with a bit of anger in his voice.
"Sherry, man. She told Squall her little incident" Zell said throwing another punch to Irvine's hand.
"How do you know about her incident?" I asked and Squall stopped doing push ups. I got off him and he looked me in the face.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.
"Squall I was..."
"Sherry told me if we could keep this a secret because it would break Laguna's heart. She pleaded me to ask you to not say anything to Laguna because it was only a kiss on the cheek"
"Oh! What?! Squall I was going to tell you just I though I could tell Laguna without you having to-"
"Worry for my father? Rinoa I can handle anything, especially a kiss on the cheek. I... well I don't like you having to keep things from me"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do but there was more Squall"
"More?"
"It was more than a kiss and she didn't plead she..." I can't tell him but then he'll get mad if I don't.
"What she do?" Irvine asked.
"Well yesterday when I mentioned if Sherry was capable of anything. It was because she threatened me if I said anything she'd do something to Squall"
"Hey, she was bluffing and I can take on any women, alright" Squall told me and gave me a hug.
I wrapped my arms around his neck. I wanted to hold him like this forever. If Sherry was capable of doing something bad to Squall... will I lose him? "Are you mad at me for protecting you?"
"...no... I just... I just don't like you... keeping things a secret" Squall whispered so that the other two wouldn't know he's a bit emotional.
"I'm really sorry" I told him with my smile turned all down. Gave him a kiss and hugged him more.
"I need a girl" Zell commented as he was watching us.
"Hey, hey, Squall did you decide what to do?" Irvine asked.
Squall took his attention away from me and looked at Irvine "Tell Laguna. Sherry can't do anything... If she tries something it's her own fault to what I could do to her"
"Booya Baby!!" Zell hollered.
(At Laguna's Office Sherry runs in as always with some new ideas on her head)
Sherry walks in with her hips wavering. Her eyes flutter, make-up neat and puts on an innocent smile.
"Thanks for knocking" Laguna comments and lets out a laugh.
"Laguna I've been thinking..." Sherry said biting on her lower lip.
"About?"
"How things will adjust when we get married. So much to do! So I figured how about working on a few of this now?"
"That sounds clever. What shall we work on? I have time to do what I'm doing later"
"How perfect! Well how about working on your will?" Sherry said with her hands put together as if it was a plead.
"My Will???"
"I have my will to create everything perfect for fear that and excuse me for saying this I would happen to pass on like Raine"
Laguna looked to the side "...Raine..." he closed his eyes and looked back up at Sherry. "I'll get to it... Oh... I forgot about Squall. He needs to be in it"
"Squall? Right... I almost forgot too"
