From What I Saw
Chapter One: Hooked on Phonics
Quistis was asleep and I had just finished watching a movie with Quistis' mom. I went to go check on her and saw that she had a book with her. Now you see I read some of the books that Quistis read and they were really good. So anyway, I got the bright idea to read it. It only took me a few seconds to realize that what I was holding was Quistis' diary. I first thought of putting it back, but then I got the idea to read what she had been thinking all this time.
So I opened the book to page one. I began to read and saw that Quistis seemed vulnerable, and confused. As I read, I realized that she knew something was missing, but she didn't know exactly what. So I made a point of it to make sure she knew that I loved her. Many things I saw showed she was lonely. When I finished reading the book, Quistis began to wake up. So I quickly shoved the book in her dresser drawer. I think she might have seen me, so I opened another drawer to get out some clothes. Maybe just maybe I can get away with something.
"Hey babe I'm going to take a shower okay?" I lied to get away.
"Okay Hun." I couldn't believe it! She actually believed that I was going to take a shower. So I took advantage of my position. Luckily some of my clothes were in the drawer with the journal.
"Hey babe go to the bathroom if you have to because I might be in there a while." Maybe just maybe I could get her to leave the room so I can re-read her diary. SUCCESS!
"Okay, I'll be right back." Quisty got up. Her clothes were all wrinkled because she had been sleeping, and her hair was tousled. I don't think that was the most of her problems. She must have been dead tired.
Right as she closed the door I began to dig through the drawer to find the book. I finally stuck gold and wrapped the book in my fresh pair of jeans. I found a clean shirt, and a fresh pair of boxers. They were my favorite pair. I had been walking around at a mall one day and found this gothic store. They had a bunch of stuff about me, so I bought some boxers with my face all over it.
Well anyway, I sat down outside the bathroom, and made sure her diary couldn't be seen. A few minutes later, Quistis came out. I stood up impatiently and scuffled into the bathroom. I waited a few moments before turning the water on. Then I sat down on the toilet and read the book over once more. This time I read it more carefully. There was a light rapping on my door about half an hour into my shower. I quickly stood up and turned the shower off.
"Yes? I asked as I began to strip just incase Quistis came in.
"Dinner is in about 15 minutes." She said as I just said to myself, "okay I'll be out in a few." Now you see, I'm very good at taking fast showers. So I decided that I would say the water felt so good that I couldn't pull myself away. Yes that would work just fine. So then I jumped in the shower, washed my hair and somewhat masculine body that my gun blade had built up. I guess I better start working out for some more. It was almost as if my muscles are deflating. Okay so I get out of the shower and slid on a puddle out side of the shower and fell into the door. Luckily I didn't break down the door, but Quistis came to see if I was okay.
"I'm okay Hun, just a little puddle I didn't see. Slid and fell. Nothing major." Nothing major? That totally doesn't sound like me. She's going to suspect something.
"Okay well dinner's done! Hurry before it gets cold." Quistis said as I tried to ask her what was for dinner, but I guess she had already left because I got no reply. Well at least I can sneak the book back easily. I let out a large sigh and began to towel off myself. My hair dried quickly, and I slipped on my clothes over my clean slick body. I hid the diary inside my old clothes, and opened the bathroom door. I made sure the coast was clear. All clear. So I tip toed out into the room, and I slid her diary back into her drawer. I threw my dirty clothes onto the bed, and went to go eat dinner.
Quistis and her mom had already begun eating. They were eating ham with mashed potatoes and gravy. Yummy. I sat down silently and began to fill my plate with this delicious yummy food. Yes as you can tell I love food. I need food to work the way I do. Yes I work off all the fat to keep my slimming, buff figure. No I don't watch my diet I just eat whatever I can get my hands on. Quistis says that all this eating junk will catch up with me one day, but I don't really think I'll ever be able to get fat. I've weighed the same thing for five years. 138 pounds. Not one pound over or under for five years.
Okay well anyway, after dinner I was dog tired so I went to bed. I don't know what Quistis and her mom did that night, but all I know is that they stayed up doing something.
When I woke up the next morning, Quistis was already up and about. She seemed to be looking for something, but I was still half asleep. I couldn't really tell what she was looking for. She just kept digging for things, and every place she looked and whatever she was looking for wasn't there, she got madder and madder.
I began to wrestle with the covers. I was warm, but when I got out from underneath my covers I was very cold. I just couldn't make myself comfortable. Quistis must have seen me having problems.
"Hey Seif. Do you know where the book I fell asleep with yesterday was?" I was frozen I didn't know if she knew I had read the book or not. I tested to see if she really knew if I read the book.
"Well, when I came while you were still sleeping to get some clothes so I could take a shower I saw a book in our underwear drawer." Quistis checked the drawer, and pulled it out.
"I found it! Thanks hun!" I guess she didn't know that I read it. Well anyway, I rolled myself out of bed, and got ready for breakfast. Quistis and I were leaving that morning. I believe it was a Sunday, and we were leaving after we ate breakfast. I slipped on a pair of pants because I only sleep in my boxers. Yes the ones with my face on them. I think I should burn them because they might make me look bad for Quistis. Whoa wait, am I giving up my favorite pair of boxers for Quistis? Wow I really do have it bad for her. So then I got some clean clothes, and went out to eat some delicious food. I just loved the way Quistis' mom cooked food.
Well anyway, we left the house after a nice breakfast of bacon, eggs, and sausage. I felt well energized and I was ready to leave. During lunch on the way home, Quistis told me that Irvine was going to be the stripper at her bachelorette party. I couldn't believe that she had hired Irvine of all people. But then she told me that Selphie had planned that part. I could believe that. Then I got the best idea in the world. Ok listen to this, what if we planted a camera into Irvine's earring, and watch the bachelorette party from the security of my own house. I can trick Quistis into thinking that Squall, Zell, and I are going to be painting the house. But we can secretly be watching the bachelorette party through Irvine's earring. I think it's the best idea ever. I think I might have shown Quistis something that was quite evil, because she wanted to know what I was thinking about.
"Come on Seifer! Just tell me what you're thinking! Please." Quistis tried to get me to tell her what I was thinking about. But she can never know about my little charade with her party.
As we are leaving, Quistis decides that she wants to drive the rest of the way home.
"Hey babe, I want to drive the rest of the way home k?" She said as she snaked her hand into mine. I can tell she's anxious for something, but who knows what she's planning to do. With Quistis anything is possible.
"Yeah, I'm going to take a nap in the backseat. I'm bushed. So when we got to the car, I gave Quistis the keys, and I layed down in the backseat. She turned on the radio, not to loud though. She knew that I was trying to sleep. But then she began to sing. I couldn't believe my ears. Why hadn't she become famous? I mean with a voice like that, no one could hate you. I fell asleep on the backseat, with the car rocking gently back and forth with much rhythm, and my one true love singing melodies in my ear.
I love Quistis. I love Quistis. I love Quistis.
