[A/N =) Pretty short chapter... nothing really happens... next one should be better. I plan on making the next one in Seifer's POV. Its only fair... ^^]
We stared at the sky, dancing the night away
I stared into his loving face and felt myself melt, I knew I could then die and be happy about it.
Our eyes met and we moved closer...
"Erika..." He began to say. I could feel my heart beating rapidly inside me.
"I... I love you." He said the words I have so longed to hear! I want to scream to him about how happy I am but instead I just stay longer in his embrace and feel all the cares in the world disappear.
Quistis sighed in the middle of reading her book.
It is wonderful... Rinoa was right. I could read this for the rest of the day…
She read for a while longer smiling dreamily through out the whole chapter. She would've read longer but someone knocked at the door.
"Quisteeeee!!!!!!!!! Open up!"
"Selph, shhhhhh.... people are staring!"
"Really? Oops... sorry, Rin."
"Maybe she's not here..."
"I am here." Quistis said as she opened the door and Rinoa and Selphie fell into her room. Quistis helped them up and sat on her bed, wondering what they wanted to ask.
"Whats going on?" She asked them. They looked at each other as if to say 'You go first!'. Finally Rinoa spoke.
"Well... you do know that the Garden Festival is coming soon right?" She asked.
"Yes. Of course."
"So, who're you going with???" Selphie butt in.
"Going with?" Quistis asked, confused.
"Yeah! This time it's required to go with a date! The other committee members wanted it..." She told Quistis.
"Oh..." Quistis felt her heart drop. Who would she go with? "I'm not... not sure... if I'm going."
"Why not?" Rinoa asked her. "I'm going with Squall, and Selphie's going with Irvine. Even Zell's going with Mishelle."
Mishelle... oh, the library girl.
"But... but... Who would I go with?" Quistis asked, ashamed.
"Who would you go with?" Selphie said
slyly. "How about Seifer?" Both of them knew
SOMETHING had to be happening between her and Seifer.
"No! I mean... he wouldn't want to." Quistis said quickly.
"Why??? He seems to like you..." Selphie pouted.
"Yeah, Quistis!" Rinoa added. "You
two have been hanging out a little more lately..."
After the talk at the tree they talked to each other a lot more.
"Maybe, but..." Quistis couldn't deny that she liked him...
"Come on! I'm sure he wants to ask you..." Rinoa said.
"Really?" Quistis asked, hopefully.
"Really!"
"Still. I'm not going to ask him."
"Oh, geez... but if he asks you...?" Selphie asked her.
"If he asks me, yes, I'll go. ONLY if he asks me." Quistis said.
Only if he asks me. Unlikely right? But... do I WANT him to ask me? What's happening to me? I guess I'm finally feeling less alone... And he's the reason.
Selphie and Rinoa left, with hopeful expressions on their faces. Quistis picked up her book and began to read again.
I feel him next to me... his arms around me... we kept dancing and it seemed like nothing else mattered anymore... This... is it love?
That's what I want to know...
