Games of love.

It took a while for Paine and Baralai to get back. But then again I wasn''t about to complain. It allowed me to get back on the right terms with Gippal. But what I realized while hanging around him was that I was beginning to fall for him. Not something I wanted to do. And I think he was planning it the entire time. Wow he pulled a me.

The ship took flight again. And this time we knew where we were going. We were going to go and see what there was way in the sands of home. Although Gippal and I both come from home neither of us were aloud to go this far out. And I know it was going to get interesting. The only thing I Knew was that there was a great dance club out there.

We watched all the sand go under us. And then we saw it. A Large piece of macnacha sticking out of the ground. The captain aloud us off there and we walk the rest of the way.

As we walked we could feel the ground under us. Which was really cool. I pushed my way into the door but it wouldn''t open.

""Fine be that way……TAKE THIS"" I jumped up and did a high kick to the door. And then it decided to open. Stupid thing. I will never understand why doors hate me.

""Rikku……shall we go in and dance like ole times?"" He held out his hand to me and I took it. We walked down the long flight of stairs. I knew Paine and Baralai would follow me down there. For some odd reason I was nervous, I don''t know why. Maybe it was because I never have danced in front of Gippal. What ever it was I wish it would go away.

After going down a lot of stairs, we finally found where the loud music and up beat was coming from. We opened the doors and there was a mass wall of bodies dancing to the music. I knew that I was home. I love to dance I really do but in front of Gippal. I never did get over it.

Before I had a chance to say lets go sit at the bar, Gippal had my hand and was dragging me on to the dance floor. I looked around Paine and Baralai was nowhere to be found. I was out here with Gippal all by my self. Oh boy.

But then it hit me, why should I care about what he thinks. I know I can dance and I don''t need to prove it to him. With that thought alone I began to dance to the music. Easy at first but then I really got into it. I allowed my hips to roll to the music. I was in a trance; I didn''t care who saw me dancing. But it was then that I saw how many other guys had their eyes on me. But I didn''t care at all. I was here to have a good time. I didn''t care if they wanted me, I didn''t want them. I wanted Gippal.

I swear that boy can read minds or something. Because right then I felt his hands on my hips and I found myself being pulled to him. I didn''t want to refuse but I tensed up anyways, I don''t know why. I found that I don''t know a lot.

""Relax Rikku, I''m here""

I could feel him agnsit my back. I could feel him holding me in a gentle yet hard way. It was beginning to arouse me in ways I shouldn''t be.

We moved to the music in perfect rhythm. I felt like I was in a trance or something. During the songs we danced through all I could think of was he. Him and I.

Sometime during the song I turned in his hold and began to grind with him. At that point I knew we had people watching. He didn''t seem to care. The whole time he didn''t look away from my eyes.

A slow song came on and we slowed down to the beat. I put my head on his chest as he held me closer. I could feel his heart. And at that point I decided to ask him.

""Do you like me more then a friend?""

The question was out of the blue but I needed to know. I needed to know if everything was right in the world.

""Rikku……You should already know that…….""

With that said he bent down so that his lips were close to mine but not quite there. He whispered against my lips.

"Your my one and only……and you always will be.""

He finally kissed me. It was like there were rockets going off in my head. I couldn''t believe that this was happening. I was so shocked. But I took the kiss and deepened it. My arms tightened around his neck.

When the kiss ended we were both flushed. I wanted more of him.

We went and found Paine and Baralai who seemed flushed like us, but I''m not going to ask why. We sat down by them, and Gippal took my hand in his and held it there. We ordered some drinks and after a few more dances we decided to leave.

Upon boarding the airship Baralai asked if I could switch rooms with him to be with Paine, which meant I would be with Gippal. We both agreed to it.

That night I spent it in the comfort of Gippal's strong arms.
