Chapter 8: Sorry damn… I forgot the freakin title!
Yuffie
Yuffie was trying to unlock Cloud and Leon's front door with a pin.
Last night, the night of the thunderstorm… Yuffie left her keys in their dorm accidentally. When she reached her dorm door last night… she didn't have a key but picked the lock on her door to get in, not wanting to get wet from the rain… not that she wasn't wet already.
So what she did was she called Leon to tell him that she left her keys. He told her to get the keys from him the next day… today was the next day and she wanted her keys so that she could get it duplicated for her dad, by request.
Click.
The door unlocked and she swung open the two doors that were in front of her. this was weird cause the other doors, including hers, were only one per dorm… but this had two…
Whatever…
Yuffie tiptoed in, not wanting to wake up anyone. Which way to Leon's room?
"Yuffie?" a low voice said behind her.
shoot… busted…
Yuffie turned around to find a very sleepy looking Cloud in front of her.
"Uh… hi Cloud!" Yuffie gave an innocent smile.
"Yuffie… what are you doing here?" he was holding a glass of water.
"Um… just gotta get my keys… I uh… left them in Leon's room last night" Yuffie swung her arms from side to side.
"You even went to his room…" Cloud said almost unaudible but Yuffie heard it anyway.
"Cloud… nothing like that happened… I just get a little carried away when it comes to thunderstorms… it could have been anybody." Yuffie said looking down at her feet.
"Even a girl?" Cloud said raising one eyebrow up with a small smile on his face.
Yuffie looked up and glared at him. "NO!"
"Because if it were a girl… I would think you were lesbian." Cloud said smiling.
"I am not a lesbian!" Yuffie continued to glare at him.
"Hey… I didn't say anything… you were the one that thought of that… the thought never even crossed my mind." Cloud smiled mischievously.
Yuffie almost melted then and there. "Fine… you win."
"Ok… since I won our little argument… I'm taking you out to get coffee later at 8" Cloud took a sip of water.
"Real smooth mister… ok fine I'll go with you… but your paying." Yuffie put her hands on her hips.
"Fine with me." Cloud shrugged and walked over to one of the doors and opened it. "See ya." He closed the door leaving Yuffie there all alone.
Yuffie looked around the dorm as if noticing it for the first time.
There was a flat screen tv… the ones that were stuck to a wall. There was a DVD player and some DVDs put up in neat shelves around the tv.
The walls had dark green wallpaper n it. The floor was covered in nice shiny wood. The Windows were elegantly carved French style and around the windows were gark green curtains with elegant embroidered decorations sewn on to them.
Connected to the living room was a huge kitchen. In the center of the kitchen was a wooden table with a marble top that served as a dining area with four wooden stools neatly placed under it. The room was filled with cabinets and more counters full of cooking gadgets. Yuffie opened one of the 3 hugest cabinets. Cold air swept her. the cabinets were the fridges! This one was filled with fruits and vegetables, to Yuffies disgust. She wrinkled her nose and closed the door. The next fridge was filled with drinks and snacks. Much better. And the next one was a freezer.
Yuffie opened another door to another room. It was a bathroom. It had a huge bathtub in the middle of the room. The floor was made of entirely marble. The windows were covered by wispy white curtains that fluttered as the wind passed by. In one of the corners… there were a few marble steps and a sitting area with a steam machine. There was also a massaging table. And a cabinet full of white and dark green towels.
Yuffie opened one of the three doors… it led to a giant closet. Yuffie flicked on the lights. Yellow light shown on every single one of the shelves and closets in the room. Each closet was covered by a wooden door with glass so that you could see what was inside of them. There were rows and rows of clothes that were folded and hung neatly. One shelf had at least 100 watches and sunglasses of every shape and color, each in one of their respective leather and velvet boxes. Four shelves were dedicated to hats. A ton of them. There were also shoes lined up neatly on the floor.
Yuffie opened another door it lead to… a staircase? The staircase was made up of wood. Yuffie climbed up the stairs and it led to a hallway with 3 rooms. Yuffie opened the doors to one room, it was a study and a library.
There were two desks each with a computer and big comfy chairs. And there was also a conference table. There were also shelves and shelves of books. There were two leather couches and an unlit fireplace. Duh… it had to be unlit… who would light a fireplace in the middle of October?
Yuffie got out of the room and peeked into another door. It was a sleeping Leon. Yuffie went into the room. Leon was asleep on a wooden king sized bed with a dark and normal green plaid comforter. Half of it was on the floor. There was a couch in front of the bed facing another tv. One side of the room had another staircase. How many floors did they take up? Yuffie couldn't see what was on the 3rd floor… she could only see the railings.
Something gleamed in the sunlight… her keys. Yuffie walked to Leon's bedside table and took the keys. She smiled contented with herself for not causing any trouble. She turned her heel but it got caught in the comforter and she fell on the bed on top of Leon's legs.
Oh shit… oh holy shit…Yuffie slowly turned to Leon's face.
Still sleeping. Yuffie gave a sigh of relief and sat up on the side of his bed. She was about to get up when she felt warm arms wrap around her waist.
Yuffie sat there frozen with her butt glued to the bed.
Leon's arms wrapped around her tighter and he brought her closer to him making her face his neck.
"Yuffie…" Leon said lazily.
Yuffie looked up at Leon's still closed eyes. "Yes?"
Leon's eyes suddenly burst open. He stared at Yuffie then to his arms that were wrapped around her. He immediately jumped of the bad and moved away from the bed and he almost hit the stairs.
"What are you doing here?" Leon said standing up.
Yuffie jingled her keys. "Getting my keys."
"Oh." He walked over to his bed.
"Leon… You know… I think it's sweet." Yuffie smiled… Leon annoying time!
"What?" She looked at her with an almost confused expression… but no one could really tell.
"That you dream of me." Yuffie smiled sweetly in an evil way.
"I wasn't… I was just sleeping." Leon rolled onto his bed.
"You didn't have to physically violate me." Yuffie tried to look serious but her smile just kept on creeping in.
"I did not physically violate you… I didn't even touch any unnecessary parts." Leon glared.
"How do you know? Maybe you weren't sleeping… you're just finding a reason to touch me." Yuffie pocked him on the arm playfully.
"I wouldn't wanna touch you… and I was sleeping." Leon just continued to glare at Yuffie.
"I'm not so sure about that." Yuffie said smiling seductively as she crawled onto Leon's bed.
Leon had to cut the temptation of doing anything… and believe me it was hard… she was just playin with him.
"Get out, Yuffie." Leon said coldly.
"Come on Leon, I know you want me." Yuffie said smiling as she got of the bed.
"No I don't." Leon said despite the little voice inside him saying likewise.
"Why don't we make out right now." Yuffie gave one of her seductive smiles.
She had no idea how well she did those smiles. I made Leon's heart do a flip.
He actually started to consider what she said but he knew that she was just making fun of him. No one did that to him… he didn't know why he just lay down there and did nothing.
"I said get out!" Leon shot Yuffie a death glare.
"I was just about to… but if you change your mind… call me… bye Squallie!" Yuffie gave a wink and closed the door.
"LEON!" Leon shouted back at her.
He listened as her footsteps got softer and softer until they disappeared.
He buried his head in his hand. I even think of her when I'm asleep.
Starbucks
The bell rang signaling that someone entered. Cloud stepped in and looked around the room. Still no sign of her.
He sat down in one of their huge green chairs. A few tables away, there were a few blonde girls were giving him flirtatious smiles. He smiled back and fought off the urge to go there and flirt. He was here with Yuffie… that's all that mattered.
After one hour of waiting.
The bell rang. Yuffie stepped in. She was wearing short green shorts and a white spaghetti strapped shirt. Even when she was wearing something this simple, she was still hot.
"Hey Cloud… sorry I'm late." Yuffie flopped down on one chair. "How long have you been waiting?"
"Just a couple of minutes." Plus 59 Cloud could have said this but he didn't want to be rude.
"People always say that but it's never true… come on… tell me!" she asked
"Fine… I arrived an hour ago." I said smirking making her feel guilty.
"Oh my gawd… I am so sorry Cloud… I… I sorta lost track of time… you see… I had to duplicate my key for my dad… the guy said it would only take a couple of minutes but it took an hour. I'll make it up to you… I know! I'll buy you coffee!" Yuffi said out of breath.
"Nah… you can pay me back in some other way… I'll get the coffee." Cloud stood up and walked to the counter.
Yuffie looked around the place and spotted 3 blonde girls glaring at Yuffie. Yuffie just glared back. What's their problem?
Something vibrated in Yuffie's pocket. It was her phone… a message from Nami.
Yo… Loser… meet me later at the mall. Prada's new collection finally arrived today.
Yuffie just replied ok and that she'd meet her in 2 hours.
Cloud arrived with two cups in his hands. He handed one to Yuffie who sipped the coffee happily. She knew that the caffeine would make her hyper later… but she didn't care.
"Hey… Cloud… ya know what's up with them?" Yuffie nudged her head in the direction of the 3 girl's table… who by the way were still glaring at her. but smiled when Cloud looked back at them but just continued to glare back at Yuffie when Cloud turned his head back.
"They've been there for the past hour… they're pretty shy." Cloud smirked.
"Why? What do you mean pretty shy?" Yuffie said continuing the glare battle between her and the three girls.
"They continued to stay cause of me… Shy because usually guirl's would just walk up to me… but they didn't even budge." Cloud shrugged.
"What if they're just waiting for someone?" Yuffie could see the eyes of the other girls water.
"Trust me… and as soon as your little death glare battle is over… they will leave." Cloud said sounding sure of himself.
"You just wait." Yuffie said out staring the girls. They rubbed their eyes as they got up and stormed out of the shop.
"Told ya." Cloud smirked. "They're jealous that you're here with me but none of them aren't."
"Who said I wanted to be here?" Yuffie asked.
"If you didn't want to be here you wouldn't be here right now. You're one of the hard to get types." Cloud smiled.
"Who says you know anything about me?" Yuffie said raising one eyebrow.
"Ok… fine test me." Cloud moved forward so that his elbows were on his knees and his hands were on his chin.
"Ok… What's my last name?" Yuffie asked.
"Kisaragi. Ok… let's have a deal… if I win… I take you out to dinner tonight… and if you win… it will be up to you if we go out or not." Cloud smiled. (A/N: Such a charmer!)
"Fine I agree and you got that right." Yuffie said thinking of a harder question. "Ok… what is my favorite color?" Yuffie asked. That was pathetic Kisaragi!
"Green" Cloud answered with confidence.
"Damn… uh… How tall am I?"
"5 feet 2 inches." Cloud just answered as if he were talking about himself.
"Uh… you noticed… um… What's my favorite food in the world?"
"Chocolate." This was way too easy.
"Ok… why did I move to the dorms?" Yuffie smirked knowing he wouldn't answer this.
"Cause your parents wanted you out of the way?" Cloud said unsure this time.
Yuffie smiled widely. "HA! WRONG! Ok… I only have one surviving parent… is it my mom or my dad?"
This struck Cloud… she only had one parent? "Um… your dad?" A feeling of pity immediately ran through him…
"AW! How did you know!" Yuffie said slapping him on the arm. "You just guessed!" she continued to smile happily.
She was so happy even if her mom was dead… she was so happy even if she was talking about her dead mother… How was she so happy? Cloud was amazed.
"Ok… um… who is my Ex-best friend?" Yuffie asked.
"Kairi." She was… amazing…
"Aw… What's my celphone number?" Yuffie asked smirking at this… no way he would memorize 11 numbers for no good reason.
"48328475028" Cloud said easily.
"You memorize phone numbers?" Yuffie asked bewildered.
"Only the ones that matter… next question." Cloud smiled as Yuffie blushed.
"ok… I'm out of questions…" Yuffie said pouting.
"That means I win! 7 out of 8. I'm taking you to dinner tomorrow. Whether you like it or not." Cloud smiled.
"Fine… hey Cloud… you mind driving me to my dorm… I have to meet Nami somewhere in two hours." Yuffie said getting up.
"But it's still in two hours!" Cloud whined getting up.
"I have to decide what to wear!"
Dorm
Have you ever heard of the saying girls dress up for girls? It applies to my life.
My closet is empty, the clothes are all over the floor, I have to meet Nami in thirty minutes and I have no idea what to wear.
Yuffie settled with tight fitting blue jeans, a laced but not too laced purple shirt and roud toed 4 inch heeled shoes. (A/N: ow… and by the way… lace is in nowadays… I have no idea why… stores are now going for more mellow colors)
Yuffie called a taxi and a few minutes later… she was at the mall.
Her celphone rang.
"Yuffie? Where the hell are you? I've been waiting for 3 minutes now!" Nami practically screamed in her ear.
"I'm here already1 I'm at the entrance!" Yuffie said almost as loud.
"Yuffie! I'm HUNGRY! Walk faster!" Yuffie heard Rikku's voice on the other line.
"Yeah, yeah… I'm here… I can see you two already bye!" Yuffie clicked off her phone.
Rikku came running she was wearing green Capri pants and a pink Baby Phat shirt and adorable ballet flats. Her hair was braided as usual. Rikku grabbed Yuffie's arm. "Come on! Let's eat!" She practically dragged me over to Nami. She was wearing a black leather skirt and boots and blue wrap shirt. She looked great as usual.
"About time!" Nami said tapping her foot. "Let's get something to eat."
They talked about magazines and they rated boys from one to ten. Rikku gave almost ever single guy a 10 and Nami just gave most of them 1's or 2's. But then Nami sat up a little straighter…
"I give him a 10." Nami smiled at a brown haired guy that walked out of a clothing store followed by a few salesladies.
It was Leon. Yuffie smiled to herself remembering this morning.
Rikku jumped up and started waving her arms at Squall who saw them and walked over to their table in the vegetarian restaurant Nami picked out.
"Hey Leon" Nami smiles flirtatiously at Leon.
"Hi Leon!" Rikku said smiling widely.
"Hi Squall!" Yuffie said happily.
Everyone was looking at Yuffie. No one was allowed to call Leon, Squall… not without him banging his fist onto her nose.
"It's Squall." Leon said patiently.
Nami's mind was racing. What was happening?
"So… Leon… what are you doing here?" Rikku said after the awkward silence.
"I'm getting a few things for Tanni." Leon shrugged.
"Who's she?" Yuffie asked.
The whole table turned to her.
"What!" Yuffie said confused.
"She's my sister." Leon looked at Yuffie softly.
"Oh… well you should have said so in the first place!" Yuffie pouted.
"Leon… have you eaten yet?" Nami said picking a cherry and put it in front of Leon's lips, she was trying to feed him.
Something started pulling at her stomach. She had no idea why.
Leon pushed her hand away. "I already ate."
Nami looked taken aback. "Oh… anyways… were going shopping… wanna come?" Nami said pretending nothing happened.
"No… I have to meet Rinoa in a few minutes." Leon said standing up. "Bye." He said to the three girls but he was looking at Yuffie.
"BYE!" the three said all together.
When Leon was out of view.
"So… Let's go shopping!" Yuffie said jumping off her seat.
Ok… this took a total of 3 hours again. The original was longer so I'm sorry for that… so what do you think? Hey…. Summer's ending…. So far… I've managed to get a tan and I learned how to surf! Haha! I spend a lot of time at the beach. But school's about to start! No! oh yeah! I went to my friend's sister's wedding the other day and I fell in love with macadamia ice cream… I don't know how many Haagen-daz (sorry no idea how to spell this) pints I gobbled up. anyways… see ya!
What separates teens from kids:
1) If you're in a fair, you are there to enjoy and… you have to admit… hunt for a cute guy. A kid would go there for the games… period.
2) Whenever you went out shopping with your mom… you would spend hours and hours waiting for her to shop so that you can buy the new Barbie that only your mom had the money for. Now, you are the one who goes shopping… for twice as long as your mom took. And now you go with your friends more often… not your mom.
3) You used to be able to get down and dirty. Now… you do but just in a different way. (A/N: I did not make this!)
4) Girls used to be better than guys… now guys are better than girls.
5) Before when someone called you names… you would go tell the teacher and start to cry. Now you make that person cry.
6) You used to think that kissing was disgusting… now that's what you want.
7) You used to want to play soccer with that guy to prove you were better. Now you want to see him get all sweaty and take his shirt off- Lady Sonora the black-Rose
8) You used to think boys were blecky, but now you wanna be held tight?"-RayZor
9) You used to eat everything in sight because you wanted to get bigger, now all you can think about is how to get smaller. –star-chan89
10) You used to hang out with everyone, now you only hang out with "cool" people. –xthechickenhousehelenaaaaaa
11) You used to listen to nursery rhymes, but now you listen to rock and rap and pop. . –xthechickenhousehelenaaaaaa
12) You used to close your eyes whenever it was the kissing scene but now you are willing to kill to be in it. (with the guy of coarse) –me……. skippinsunday
13) when you surfed the net… it used to be all Barbie or bratz or whatever but now… you're more into chatting. –me! AGAIN! See! See! I'm helping!
14) Grandma used to be someone who bought you toys and gave you candy when your mum wouldn't let you have any... Now she's the one you talk to when you're having problems with your mum and YOU bring the snacks to watch some sappy movie. –RayZor
15) When you were a kid you wanted to ride the bus to school, now you can't wait until your old enough to be able to drive a car there. -DiamondLucy
16) When you were a kid you wanted more responsibility so you could seem older, know you want less responsibility so you can just hang out with your friends. -DiamondLucy
