Chapter 3

A Jealous Love and a Surprise Call from a Friend

Cloud and Zeke was sitting at the counter eating their food while Denzel had a snack and Tifa was talking to Yuffie again. "Hey Cloud." Cloud glanced at him. "Well is Tifa your wife and Denzel your son?" he said asking. "Well no… not really. Denzel lives with us and is a son to me. ..and to Tifa. And well… Tifa and I aren't married but we are a couple." "Oh. I mean it looked like you guys were." "I know we hear it a lot."

Zeke was ok that they weren't married but when he heard that they were a couple he didn't like the response. Well I ruined a lot of past relationships so I guess I can ruin this one. I know exactly what do.

"So Cloud how long have you known Tifa?" "Since forever. I've known since we were kids." "Really? So were you in love with her for that long?" "Well yeah you can say that." Denzel was already uncomfortable with the situation. He left with his snack to go watch TV.

"So Yuffie how has your relationship with Vincent going."

"Why you asking this? The conversation is on you and Cloud not me."

"Well I just wanted to-"

"Change the subject."

"How did you-"

"Know that."

"Yuffie-"

"Stop that…"

"Yuffie."

"I know hang up. Bye."

"Bye."

Tifa sighed and turned to see Cloud and Zeke talking she knew it was about them. Or his past or something. She could see that they were done eating. She walked over and picked up their plates. She went to go wash them.

"Cloud!" yelled Denzel from the other room. It was thundering and lightening and Denzel was frightened.

"I'll take care of it." He said and walked into the other room. Tifa was washing dishes when she heard footsteps come towards her.

"I'll help…" offered Zeke.

"You and Cloud an item?" he asked event though he already knew.

"Yeah, he's telling everyone." She smiled.

"How about you do you have a girl friend?"

"Me no I'm a wander I just travel and plus a loner. I lost my brother to Shrina and plus my sister disappeared years ago. So I've been alone in the world."

"Oh sorry to hear that."

"Well there is nothing to be sorry about. We all will die someday and it was their time. I just…. Never mind."

"What?" "Well…." Zeke whispered into her ear telling her about everything like it was a she said he said deal.

Cloud could see what was going on and didn't like it He was going to speak his mind when Denzel grabbed him cause of the resent lightening strike. The phone had ringed. "I'll get it." Said Tifa running to the phone. "Hello." This Cloud was chance to speak his mind. Zeke was already here for a few hours and was already hitting on Tifa and Cloud as her boyfriend wasn't going to take it.

Cloud walked up to him while Denzel was a chicken little running around the room trying to find a place to hide.

"Yo Zeke."

"Yeah."

"Can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Sure."

They went to the other room away from Tifa and Denzel. Cloud turned to Zeke. In one of his angry looks when his eyes pierce right through your soul.

"Dude what's up with you?"

"Well what's up with you. You were flirting with Tifa."

"No I'm not but she's hot."

"I'm telling you this once and only once back off or you'll find you're ass outta here."

"Really is that a threat or a promise?"

"You don't know what you're getting yourself into."

"O really maybe you don't I would kill you right now if I had the chance. And we'll see who are the hero and the wimp."

"Son of a B-"

Tifa had interrupted the threatening between the boys with a look of sadness and anger mixed together on her face. The boys stared at her with a worried look. "Tiff what's wrong?" "I got off the phone with Vincent…" "And" "He's in Cosmo Canyon. He said he spotted Sephiroth.
