Tifa stomped out onto the street. She looked around in the dark night Rufus emerged from behind the building they had previously occupied. He gave her a charming smirk.
"Finally we're free" He chuckled.
"Why did we have to make such a big scene about it?" Tifa asked almost puzzled at their display.
"Well, if we didn't they would've wanted us to stay and make a speech and ask us questions about our marriage and take pictures and never leave us alone" Rufus rambled on and Tifa giggled. "This way the press wont bother us"
"That makes sense, I guess" Tifa smiled, "Where to now?" She wasn't sure what his plans were now that they had stormed out of the public event.
"Lets go..." Rufus put a finger to his chin in thought, "I know!"
"Where?" Tifa asked, without answering her question Tifa's slender hand was grabbed rough by the ShinRa boy and she was dragged along the road. She ran slightly to catch up to his lengthy strides but soon fell into his pace.
Tifa choose not to ask questions as to his actions but just awaited the surprise he most likely had planed. She looked through the street and spotted something strange. Yuffie! Tifa halted suddenly and Rufus turned to face her.
"What?" He asked and Tifa point to the direction of her younger sister. The small girl was being lead into a helicopter by none other then Vincent. Tifa smiled brightly. Her phone call had worked. Vincent would be taking her to see one of his matches. Tifa was happy for her sister. Once the helicopter had made it's nosey departure Rufus grabbed her hand once again and continued to drag her through the streets.
Rufus lead Tifa through the quite streets for quite a while before they reached a forested area. Rufus stopped and gave her a trusting smile.
"This way" He said and continued to lead her through the trail. Tifa looked around, she was surround by bushes and leaves. Having no idea where she was, she blindly followed Rufus. She found it almost funny she was
being lead through the woods in an fancy dress and heels. Rufus stopped before what appeared to be a clearing. He pushed her gently in front of him and covered her eyes.
"I found this place when I ran away from home." He explained as he led her forward. "I wanted to propose to you here, but I guess things didn't work out that way" He chuckled.
"Guess not" Tifa giggled but smiled at the thought of their adventures. Rufus stopped and moved his hands away from her eyes, before Tifa could open them he told her not to. He snaked his arms around her slender waist and held her tight.
"Open your eyes" He told her. Tifa opened her wine coloured eyes and gasped. She stood at the edge of a water fall. The water cascading elegantly down the medium height cliff. Many colourful flowers filled the area and pool below. Tifa couldn't believe her eyes. She felt breathless as Rufus held her back from falling and the wind blew strongly by her. She looked down. The cliff was a jumpable distance and the oval pool of emerald green water below looked deep enough for her to land.
"This place is amassing" She sighed and Rufus chuckled.
"I knew you'd like it" He flicked his hair confidently and smirked.
"Thank you" Tifa turned to him and hugged his tightly. Rufus was caught almost off guard by her gesture.
"For what" Rufus said and looked down at her.
"Making me happy" She smiled at her own corniness.
"Your welcome then" Rufus chuckled, then slyly added "Bet your to chicken to jump"
"I most certainly am not" Tifa took a few steps back until she was teetering on the edge of the cliff. If she let herself she would fall back and into the deep waters below. Rufus stepped forward, a worried expression sweeping across his well defined features.
"I was just kidding, don't jump Tiff." He smiled uneasily. Tifa shook her head.
"Why not, it'll be fun. I'll meet you at the bottom" Tifa smirked and let herself fall back. Rufus watch wide eyed as the skinny girl did a back dive into the waters below. It was apparent she wasn't hurt since she was now shouting at him to jump as well.
"Silly girl" Rufus shook his head and jumped off as well. He plunged into the waters and popped up beside Tifa.
"Took you long enough" Tifa said, her dress was floating around her and her hair was totally wet. It clung in thick strands to her pretty face. Rufus' hair had become un-spiked and Tifa used her hand to mess
it up. Rufus smirked at her and pushed her under the water. Form below the surface Tifa grabbed Rufus' ankle and pulled him under. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. He kissed her softly and they popped
up at the top of the surface together.
"That was mean, you e not allowed to push a lady under the water" Tifa said.
"Lady? Where?" Rufus looked around and Tifa gave him a 'whatever' look. She jumped up and pushed his head under. She let go and he popped back up. He stuck his tongue out at her and she rolled her eyes.
"Your such a brat" Tifa snapped gently.
"Look who's talking" Rufus growled. His look quickly soften and they smirked at each other. No matter how much they fought they still loved each other so much. Tifa swam closer to Rufus. She placed her hands on his chest. She gave him a light kiss.
"This is nice, we should do this more often" Tifa smiled and blushed.
"What? Get into a public fight and go swimming in a lake?" Rufus chuckled.
"We're going to have to find more creative ways to get out of special events" Tifa smiled and Rufus chuckled again. Tifa kicked over to the edge of the pool and pulled herself out. Rufus jumped up beside her. They flopped down and looked up at the stars. Tifa rested her head on his chest and Rufus slipped his arms around her. Pulling her closer to him as he looked up at the stars. The water from their soaked clothes was rolling down their bodies and dripping off their faces but neither minded.
"Rufus?" Tifa asked softly closing her eyes.
"Hmmm?" He sighed and she looked up at him.
"Do you think the stars can here us?" Tifa asked, the moment was so tender and nice.
"No" Rufus ruined it and Tifa hit him in the chest.
"Oh come one, I bet they can" Tifa smiled and Rufus just laughed.
"I've been taught you live life alone and that's that" Rufus said. Tifa took his hand a squeezed it.
"You not alone anymore" Tifa said and kissed him softly.
"I'm glad" He said smiling down at his wife. He gently touched her face and kissed her once again.
They arrived back at the ShinRa building and snuck inside through the garage. Rufus didn't want his parents to find out they ditched an event to hang out together. Tifa and Rufus crept up the hall, their still wet clothes weighing them down.
"We made it" Tifa smiled as they reached his door. Slipping inside they burst into giggles. Tifa grabbed some dry clothes and got changed. She dried her hair and tied it back. When she emerged from the bathroom she
discovered Rufus had done the same.
"I'm really tired" Rufus yawned and Tifa walked over to him. She hugged his waist. Rufus stroked the back of her hair and sighed.
"Poor baby" Tifa sighed and kissed him on the cheek.
"I know," Rufus smiled and Tifa rolled her eyes. No matter how much time she spent with him he never changed.
"I'm going to go see if Yuffie's home" Tifa said and left his side. Tifa padded out into the hallway. She took the elevator down to the 2nd floor. She waved at some employees passing her in the adjacent elevator. She was well
aware she was wearing pj's but the staff around ShinRa had become use to seeing her running around in them. Tifa was a fresh change to ShinRa. While Rufus and his parents were never seen wearing anything but suits, Tifa was always comfortable. Because of her Rufus had started to get to know some of his employees.
Tifa stopped and leaned on the balcony railing over looking the large front doors of ShinRa. She waited in the still halls and watched the doors. She hadn't waited long when Yuffie bounced through the doors with Vincent
walking beside her.
Tifa smiled at her sister as she bounced to face him. Yuffie looked up at him and blushed.
"Um... I.. um... had a good time" She said uneasily. Yuffie wasn't sure how she was suppose to act in this type of situation.
"Me too" Vincent gave her a charming smile and Yuffie turned redder.
"Well bye" Yuffie gave a quick wave and turned to leave. Vincent grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him. Yuffie's eyes were wide as he held her close. Vincent whispered softly into her ear.
"I had a really nice time" Vincent purred and Yuffie blushed once again. She relaxed in his arms. Vincent bowed his head and kissed her gently. Yuffie closed her eyes and deepened the kiss. Yuffie reluctantly left his
arms and went to the elevator. She gave one last look at Vincent before entering the elevator.
"See you again?" Vincent called.
"If your lucky" Yuffie winked and Vincent grinned. The door closed and Vincent left.
Tifa smiled at the scene. She walked back to her room and jumped into bed beside Rufus. Rufus lifted his head and looked over at her.
"Is Yuffie home?" He asked.
"Yeah, I guess sh'se staying here tonight" Tifa smiled. Yuffie had been switching from staying at 7th Heaven and the ShinRa building. Rufus pulled Tifa into his arms and held her close. He lightly kissed her forehead.
"I love you" He purred and Tifa smiled brightly.
"I love you too" She said and kissed him.
