Chapter 3

Gippal's POV

I heard the door as it creaked open, I wasn't sure if this was a good idea but I wanted to talk to her before the wedding. If this was the only way then so be it.

"Gippal?" She said my name, almost a whisper.

I turned to see her in the moonlight. It illuminated her skin. She looked as if she were glowing. She walked closer and lifted her hand as if to touch me then dropped it in mid-air.

"What are you doing here?" Came her next question.

I didn't know how to reply. I wanted to tell her that I still loved her, and I could not bear the thought of her marrying some guy she just met. I knew I could not say that though.

"I wanted to come see you, before your wedding." Was what I said instead.

She sat on the edge of her queen-sized bed and nodded in response.

"Okay, did you need to give me something or what? I mean what could be so important that you had to sneak in through my bedroom window?" She asked.

"This moment."

Wow, I can't believe I just said that. It was as if I wasn't there that I was a completely different guy.

"What about this moment?"

"I needed to be certain." I said.

"Certain?" She mimicked making it a question.

I got up from my spot on the window seat and walked closer to her. I offered her my hand. I had no idea what I was doing. However, I couldn't stop it. It needed to be done. She put her small hand into mine and I pulled her to her feet. She came to about my chest. I looked down into her eyes sparkling in the moonlight and I knew I had to tell her, I had to stop this wedding one way or another or I would regret it for the rest of my life. I sat her down my hands still covering hers and she turned to look at me. I could tell she was nervous, maybe even excited. I then put my head next to hers and whispered into her ears three simple words.

"Don't marry him."

I felt her body stiffen, heard the gasp escape her mouth. She really hadn't expected that one. I knew it. I pulled away from her and let her hands drop out of mine. She quickly stood up and crossed the room her back to me.

"Why did you say that?" She asked.

"Because, I had to." I replied in a shaky voice.

What if she loved him? What if she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life? What if what we had was nothing more then a memory of an awkward time in her life? She turned back to me tears welling in her eyes.

"I have to Gippal, I don't have a choice." She replied.

I shook my head no.

"But you do, Rikku…you always have a choice. It's your life, you should lead it the way you want to."

I stood and crossed the room to her. Holding her in my arms as she silently wept.

"I…I still love you." I said quietly. "It took me so long to realize it, but when you told me you were getting married…I wanted to, I just wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out again."

I couldn't believe I was admitting this to her, just like that. I felt like one of those guys in the mushy romance books. It was disgusting. Nevertheless, I had to tell her, if I didn't I would lose her forever. She didn't reply just held on tighter as I revealed my darkest secret to her. I had feelings…weird. She pulled away from me and looked up into my eyes.

"Run away with me Rikku, we never have to look back." I said.

She stepped back and shook her head no.

"I think…I think you should leave." She said.

I looked at her as she said those simple words. My world was falling before my eyes. I couldn't leave not until I get everything out.

"I'm sorry." I said next.

"You have nothing to apologize for."

I shook my head and took another step towards her. Before I could stop myself, I grabbed her body, pulled her to me and kissed her. I kissed her like there was no tomorrow and when I pulled away, I smiled.

"I've wanted to do that for the longest time." Then I looked at her face and saw the sorrow sketched on it.

"I love you Rikku, and I won't stand by and let you marry Tetsu."

She silently looked down at her feet and slowly stopped crying.

"Thank you." She said. "Thank you."
