"IF ONLY YOU SAW ME"

Chapter Seven: A moment of love

"...I dont know whether to fear... or except the words which had emerged... but I doubt it changes ... my...love..show me..."


Rinoa stared at Squall wide eyed. Her eyes trailed from his red eyes to his fangs. Fear grabbing her at the back of her throat, Rinoa closed her eyes tightly. (Please...What have I done? what is he going to do?)

Squall's breathing was full of anger, and hissing noises escaped from his mouth. Rinoa whimpered in fear, throwing herself at his chest, curiling herself against him. Squall looked down at her. (She isnt running...)

----

Squall grabbed Joia by her arms, sprouting long, blood thirsty fangs at her. Joia stared at him, fear building in her eyes. "I'm a vampire, Love." Squall said sternly. Joia threw herself at his chest, pressing her arms to her chest, turning into a ball. Squall looked down at her..."You're not running..."

----

Squall looked at Rinoa. Her reaction... shocked him. Slowly he wrapped his arms around Rinoa, resting his head on hers. He could feel her breathing gorwing more rapid. "I'm sorry if I scared you..." He said.

She opened her eyes, staring at the curves that showed through his shirt. "Rinoa, I'm sorry. But you needed to know...before you found out on your own."

She moved a bit closer to him, snuggling her face in his chest. Her fear was easing. He wanted to tell her, not hurt her. Squall smiled slightly, his eyes glistening in the moonlight. "Rinoa, do you forgive me?"

He felt her nod against his chest. His smile grew and he lifted her in his arms. She lookd at him, "What are you doing?" She said in a shakey voice.

He laughed, "dont be scared. You;ve been up a long time. You need to sleep."

He placed her on the bed he and Joia shared and covered her in the blanket. She looked at him confused, "Squall?"

He smiled, "Rinoa, I havent been truthful to you. Just a while ago, I realized, I loved you. I havent known you long, yes I know, but deep down, I felt as if I've known you forever." he placed his hand on her cheek, "And no, dont think its because you bare a resemblance to Joia. I truly do feel something for you. This past week, I;ve been thinking and thinking. Trying to reach Joia for her aid. Yet, I knew deep down how I was feeling. And when we faught, I cried. I cried becuase I didnt want you to stay away from me. I thought I cried becuase I missed joia. In truth, maybe that was partly the reason, but mostly... it was you-"

"Squall-"

"Now now, love. Let me finish please." (Rinoa nodded.) He smiled and continued, grabbing her hand, "Rinoa. Thats what I followed you. I wanted to apologize. But I was afriad of telling you. But right now, when I turned in front of you, I...I was shocked that you didnt run. All people run... but you didnt. You simply leaned against me, praying I didnt do anything to you." Squall laughed slightly, and knelt by the bed, his face near hers, "Rinoa. I know you feel something for me. I can see it in your eyes. I can see it when you smile at me, when you talk to me. Its there. All there, RInoa. Now of course, I truly dont know if its the love I have for you. But I do know, that I do love you. And I will love you, till my eternal heart stops beating."

Squall watched as Rinoa's eyes rimmed with tears. She sat up and grabbed him in a large hug, "Squall. I do love you. I do. I thought you didnt love me. I thought you only saw me as your past love look a like. I didnt know anything, Squall. but..." She looked him in the eye, "I cried because I was afraid you werent going to talk to me. I cried because I felt you used me. I cried becuase I knew you were hiding from me."

Squall smiled, carressing her face. Scarlet raised itself upon Rinoa's cheeks, "Squall. I love you."

"I love you too..Rinoa."

She tilted her head toward his,laying herself upon his soft lips. They softly parted, unleashing his yearning for her. She sighed against his mouth, "Squall..."

He opened his eyes slightly, to see her eyes close, her cheeks flushed and her expressions forever changing. He sighed against her mouth, sending her shudders. With slow pace, Squall lifted himself upon the bed, laying ontop of Rinoa's yearning body. He traced his hands from her chest to her arms, where he allowed her fingers to intertwine with his own. He shifted their kisses, left and right. Feeling emotion filling within his soul. For once of his awakening, he felt no guilt of kissing Rinoa. His mind wasnt on Joia, except as soon as he had started kissing her, he asked Joia for her forgivness and acceptance.

Rinoa tightened her fingers in Squalls hands, feeling temptation fill within her. She moaned against his mouth, having her tongue meet his. He sighed, allowing one of his hands to trail through her hair. Rinoa tilted her head back as Squall trailed his tongue along her neck. "Rinoa..." he sighed.

Lifting her dress, Squall pulled it over her head, kissing her stomach and breast. She sighed and gigggled at the tickling sensation. With her dress completly off, Squall pulled the last bits of clothing and softly laid them on the floor. Rinoa softly pulled off Squalls shirt and pants, softly placing them next to her. Squall slid in between her, engulfing her warmth. Rinoa hissed and pulled Squall closer, sighing his name.

Placing one hand on her thighs, he lifted her up into his embrace, moving slowly to the motion of her liking. She moaned and sighed, grasping his hair tightly in her hands. Squall lowered his head on her shoulders, feeling his depth. He closed his eyes, slightly biting his lower lip. "Rinoa..." He moaned.

she pulled him closer, nibling on his ear. Squall quickened his pace, feeling his peek emerging. Rinoa through her head back, moaning loudly. Squall grabbed both of her hips, holding them tightly as he pulled in and out, closing his eyes. He moaned deep within his throat, letting out loud quick breaths. Rinoa screamed, falling weakly on the bed as Squall gave his final thrust, filling everywhere inside of her.

Rinoa sighed, smiling as she carressed Squall's dampened forehead. He looked down at her and smiled, "Making love to you...wont be the only way I'll express my love." he said softly.

She smiled, "Same here."

He laughed and lowered his head on her breast, smelling in her scent. he loved the way she smelled. Sweet roses.

He steadily watched her as her eyes closed and she drifted into a peaceful sleep. Squall ran his hands through her dampened, "I'll always love you, Rinoa. No matter what.
