A/N: In this chapter, Vincent and Lucrecia will start showing an effection for each other. Lucrecia thinks Vincent is Hojo, and her plan is to convince him to letting her be his assisstant. And it kind of gets funny on what happens.
Chapter 3.
Vincent was waiting in the dressing room. His hands behind his back. He was looking out the window. The dressing room was quite nice. The furniture was definitely expensive. Someone spent a fortune on Lucrecia. Not that Vincent blamed the person.
As he stood there, he didn't notice the door had opened and Lucrecia entered. "Well, well. This is quite the place to talk, isn't it?" She asked. Vincent turned around and nearly choked. His eyes went wide on what Lucrecia was wearing. She was wearing lingerie. Black lingerie with a see through robes. And she had the most lovely figuare he had ever seen. Lucrecia smiled at the look on his face.
"See something you like?" She asked running a hand from her neck to her hip. Vincent swallowed hard and tried to say something but the only thing that came out of his mouth was "Uh…." Lucrecia walked seductivly towards him. Her hips swaying a little and Vincent couldn't help but watch them. His eyes lifted meeting her's when she stepped up to him. "I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Lucrecia Toulouse." She said holding her hand out. Vincent nearly missed what she said. He took her hand and gave it a small kiss on the back and then it hit him. He looked at her.
"Toulouse? Your not related to Dariel are you?" He asked. Lucrecia smiled a sexy smile. "Yes. He's my brother." She said. Vincent nodded slowly. "Well, he didn't mention that." He said with a shrug. Lucrecia just smiled stepping closer to Vincent. Vincent's breath caught in his throat. His entire body just went into subzero mode. Lucrecia put her hands on his chest making his heart pound harder. She slowly and gently raked her fingers down. "Now then, why don't we get to the point and get to know each other a bit more as planned out." She said. Vincent squinted an eye. "As….planned?" He asked with confusion.
But Lucrecia didn't answer. Instead she pushed him backwards right onto the silk bed and she followed him climbing on top of him. Vincent gasped with shock. "Lucrecia! What…." He was saying but Lucrecia roughly kissed him. Vincent's eyes went wider as Lucrecia began unbuttoning his pants. Vincent went stiff as a board. 'What the hell!' He thought. He wanted to break away from Lucrecia and ask what the hell she was doing but his body was in submission to her. It wouldn't respond. 'Damn male instincts!' He thought sharply as he forced his hands to Lucrecia's shoulders and slightly pushing her away. Lucrecia just rubbed against him. "Make love to me, tiger! Tell me that I'll be a scientist!" She said in a sexy way. Vincent shivered. "Uh…." He said pushing her off. He quickly got away from her. "I don't know if I…." He was saying rather nervously. Lucrecia stood breathing hard. "Tell me! Yes!" She said. She was making pleasurable noises and it made Vincent start to blush crimson red.
From across the way, Dariel was sitting on the steps looking through binoculars. On what he saw he burst out laughing. "Oh my god, Vincent. I didn't know you had it in you. You've got my sister begging for you." He laughed. He dropped the binocs in his lap and covered his face trying to stifle his laughs.
Lucrecia was moaning rather loudly that it was making Vincent very nervous. She was running her hands through her hair and making noises. Vincent gave her a strange and nervous look. He turned around quickly looking out the window trying to think of what to do. He was afraid someone might hear Lucrecia and get the wrong idea. In fact, that's probably what was going on. Only one thing popped into his mind. He took a deep breath and burst out.
"My gift is my song!"
Lucrecia stopped almost immediately. She looked surprised that Vincent would just burst into song. Even Dariel from his perch stopped laughing and looked surprised.
Vincent slowly turned around and looked at Lucrecia. He looked a little relieved that she stopped moaning like that.
"And this one's for you.
And you can tell everybody.
That this is your song."
He started to stop. Lucrecia looked intrigued. She smiled faintly. "Wait. Don't stop. Keep singing." She said. Vincent smiled. He nodded.
"It maybe quite simple,
but now that it's done.
"Hope you don't. I hope you don't
mind that I put down in words.
How wonderful life is now you're
in the world.
"Sat on the roof, and I kicked offthe moss. Well some of the verses
well they got me quite cross. But
the sun's been kind. While I wrote
this song. It's for people like you
that keep it turned on."
Lucrecia smiled with a small blush. She folded her hands together and stepped closer to his side looking at him. Vincent looked at her with a crooked smile.
"So excuse me for forgetting,
but these things I do. You see
I've forgotten. If they're green
or they're blue. Anyway the thing
is well I really mean. Yours are
the sweetest eyes I've ever seen."
He sang holding out his hand. Lucrecia smiled and took it. She was twirled inward and they began dancing in the room. Vincent and Lucrecia waltzed, tangoed and danced close together. They paused when Vincent sang the last verse as they slowed their dance.
"And you can tell everybody,
this is your song. It maybe
quite simple. But now that it's done.
I hope you don't mind.
I hope you don't mind that I put
down in words. How wonderful
life is now you're in the world."
He sang softly while dipping Lucrecia. Their faces close. Lucrecia looked so amazed and intrigued. She had one of her arms around Vincent's neck to hold herself up. Even if his arms were around her waist. Lucrecia reached up with her free hand and brushed back one of his bangs out of his lovely blue eyes. "Oh my god. I can't believe I'm falling in love with you, Professor." She whispered. Vincent was still smiling yet a hint of confusion on his face. "Professor? I'm not a Professor. I'm a Turk." He said to her.
Lucrecia just smiled and started to lean in to kiss him until his words sunk in. Her eyes shot open with surprise. "What? A Turk?" She asked. Vincent nodded. "Yes. I'm Vincent Valentine at your service." He said. Lucrecia looked like she was going to faint. "Oh no!" She said pulling away quickly. Vincent looked surprised at her reactions. He didn't know what was wrong now. One minute she looked so content in kissing him but now she looked like she was going to die in embarrassment. Lucrecia covered her cheeks with both hands.
"How could this be! Your not Professor Hojo!" She cried out. Vincent's heart nearly dropped to the ground. "No. I'm not. But Dariel said…." He was saying. Lucrecia gave a small sreech. "Dariel! Oh god! He said you were Professor Hojo! I'm going to kill him! He is so dead!" She cried out angrily. Vincent stared. "Uh, what's wrong?" He asked. But Lucrecia looked so outraged. "And you! I bet you went with him!" She said angrily. Vincent looked taken aback. "Me! Dariel just said that you were expecting me! He said nothing about……" he was saying.
Suddenly the door opened and in walked in Don Zidler and Hojo. "My dear singing rose, I…..what the blazes!" Don Zidler exclaimed at the sight of Vincent. Lucrecia jumped and covered her mouth. "Oh! Professor Hojo!" She asked. Hojo looked Vincent over with disqust. "Yes. I am. And who is this? I thought we were to meet completely alone." He said looking offended. Lucrecia pointed at Vincent. "Uh…..this isn't what you may think, Professor. I….uh…." She stammered. Hojo scowled. "We talked about his before, Miss Toulouse, through our letters. If you can not help lying then you will never become a Scientist!" he said harshly. Lucrecia lowered her head with sadness. Vincent gave her a sorry look and was going to say something but someone already did. "Hey, hey, hey. Professor, be nice." Everyone turned around.
At the balconey door leaning against the door frame was Dariel. He was just barely lighting a cigarette. "Dariel!" Lucrecia now said in angry voice. But Dariel just smirked. "Oh, quit it, Lucrecia. This is my fault. You were right and I was wrong." He said. Everyone blinked in surprise. "About what?" Lucrecia asked. Dariel stepped forward. "I'm so sorry, Professor Hojo. You see. I spoke to Lucrecia earlier this evening and arranged a small meeting with her to meet my good friend, Vincent Valentine." He said. Vincent tilted his head in confusion. Hojo rose his eyebrow. "Oh, really?" He asked in a disbelief lazy tone.
Dariel nodded. "Yep. You see. President Shinra wanted our newest Scientist to be well protected to so he had me pick out one of our Turks to protect her. You know how it is out in the real world. So this is just Lucrecia's new bodyguard." He said with a lazy shrug and nod. Everyone was quiet. Hojo looked a little convinced. "Well, what did you mean she was right and you were wrong?" He asked suspiciously. Dariel shrugged towards Lucrecia. "Well, I insisted that she met Vincent before she was going to meet you so we could get it done and over with. Before she….uh, talks to you about her new job." He said with a smile. Hojo sneered. "Well, if the Leader of the Turks says that, I suppose it must be true. Is that right, Mr. Valentine?" he asked looking at Vincent.
Vincent blinked a few times before looking at Dariel who turned around very slowly and gave him a look to agree. Vincent nodded quickly. "Yes, sir. Dariel is correct. I'm…I'm Lucrecia's new bodyguard." He said rather quickly. Hojo nodded. "I see. Well, I suppose we should just get down to business. Miss Toulouse, I have read your files and scientific abilities and I have to say I'm very impressed. Usually such intelligence never comes from a woman." He said.
Vincent found that remark a bit too rude but he didn't say anything because Dariel shot him a look over his shoulder silencing him. "However, since you have such knowledge of our Science studies and research, I think you'll qualify." Hojo finished. Lucrecia looked delighted. "Oh, thank you so much, Professor. This means so much to me." She said. Hojo gave her a small glare. "Save your childish nonsense for yourself. I expect you in the labs tomorrow morning at 7:00. There is many things we must go over." He said. Lucrecia nodded looking serious. "Yes, sir." She said. Hojo nodded. He turned and left with Don Zidler
Lucrecia turned around with a smile which disappeared very fast. She glared at Dariel, who didn't look like he cared. "Congrats, Lucy." He said smiling. Lucrecia folded her arms and growled. "You! How could you make me think your friend was Hojo!" She demanded. Dariel smirked taking a puff off his cigarette. "Easy, little sis." He said. Vincent looked away. "That really wasn't funny, Dariel." He said a slight blush creeping up his cheeks. Dariel laughed. "Yes it was. You should have seen the looks on your faces." He said.
Lucrecia walked forward snatching his cigarette and slapping his face lightly. It only made Dariel laugh. "You get your ass out of my room! Both of you! Get out!" She snapped shoving him towards the door. Dariel and Vincent was being pushed out of the room snickering at the angry beauty. She slammed the door shut once they were out. Dariel turned towards Vincent. "Well, Vinnie, my friend. I guess you'll be wanting to get back to your apartment to sleep." He said. Vincent blew out a long sigh and nodded.
