Well, here it is! Chapter Two! Took me longer than I thought; but I was brainstorming like crazy and I had to finally decide where this was heading. I just wanted to thank SweetHeart Rikku and Skylara for their reviews, I really appreciate it! This chapter is for you!
Also, I forgot this gem in my last chapter...I don't own any of the characters from Final Fantasy X-2, although sometimes I wish I did. Hope you like the new chapter, don't forget to review!
Italics are thoughts, this chapter is once again in Rikku's point of view. I think I might put the rating up just a tad for some sexual innuendos and that kind of stuff. Enjoy!
Not So Ordinary
Chapter Two - Charming Reunion
Talk about the wrong time to have nothing but a flimsy piece of cloth covering all of your important parts. If I wasn't so used to being embarassed this might have scarred me for life. It's not like Gippal and I don't have a history. He's probably seen everything under my sorry excuse for a cover-up anyways. If not on me, on one of his various bimbos.
"Me? Seduce you? Why, I'm fresh out of cheap wine and prostitutes, so how could I ever manage to seduce such a high class man as yourself?"
Cocking one of his eyebrows and throwing me his signature smirk, he replied, "Touche."
I wouldn't be all that surprised if cheap wine and prostitutes really were his thing. He may be a ladies man, but that was thanks to his looks and unbridled cockiness. Some people might go as far as calling him charming. He just had an aura of sexiness. It's a sure fire way for him to attract women. I speak from experience. But I was over his whole charming act.
"Well, what is so urgent that you couldn't have waited until I was done with my shower and maybe DRESSED?"
This was really getting to me. I couldn't think of even one good or even logical reason for Gippal to be here. I wracked my mind since the minute I heard his voice. I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Well Cid's girl, I certainly could've waited until you were clothed and proper, but I suppose you were so excited to see me you couldn't even contain yourself long enough to put your clothes on."
Another typical Gippal smirk was thrown my way.
In a split second his entire face had softened. He snaked his arms around my waist. I could feel his breath against my neck as his hoarse voice crooned into my ear.
"I came to ask you to run away with me."
I couldn't help but blurt out, "OhmygoshI'llgoanywherewithyouGippal!"
He picked me up in his arms and we walked off into the sunset. The End.
Okay, so that last part was just wishful thinking. You can't blame me for secretly hoping he was here to tell me he loved me or something equally sweet. I've had it with being lonely. Who wouldn't think this way with the mondo-attractive Gippal smirking away, smelling wonderful, looking so beautifully chiseled...
I snapped out of my imaginary Gippal-as-a-romantic-Fabio-esque-character daydream when a hand whipped by my eyes.
"Helllooo? Spira to Rikku, do you read?"
I sent him the meanest scowl I could muster. Apparently it wasn't nearly mean enough, because as fast as I had shot it out, Gippal erupted in uproarious laughter, practically doubling over.
"Ah, Cid's girl, I love it when you try to be mad." He pinched my cheeks and grabbed my chin, making a cutesy baby face at me. It was hard to remain stoic and supress my giggles after witnessing the Gippal making any kind of embarassing face. Thankfully I didn't break my glare.
"Oh you are FAR too adorable to ever be angry."
Then he started flexing his muscles, which I admit was kinda hot.
"Especially not with a charming man such as myself."
Gippal smirk number three. If he didn't have that eyepatch, I'm sure he would've topped it off with a wink.
As great as it was to watch him stretching like a lunatic, I was getting a little bit furious. If he only knew how much he drove me crazy. Well, I wasn't going to get anywhere imagining him dirty, sweaty, and naked.
And to show these emotions, what did I do? I pointed a finger at him menacingly and placed my other hand on my hip. Well, it worked when my mother used to do it to me, I just hoped I would have the same luck.
"LISTEN YOU! Number one; no matter how many times you call me 'Cid's girl', I'm pretty sure my name is RIKKU. Number two; You never answered my question. What are you doing here?"
He finally stopped flexing and reverted to scratching the back of his head.
"Well, Paine and Yuna sent me to come getcha. They didn't even tell ME why. Just that it was important, and to wake your lazy ass up and to get it to Besaid. I guess I didn't expect enough of you, because I was positive you'd be snoring away in your bed. I was so looking forward to waking you up."
After witnessing his michevous grin, I was certainly thankful that I was already up. Gippal had an uncanny talent for waking people up in the rudest fashions. Unfortunately, I couldn't help but pout. Why couldn't Paine or Yunie have come to get me? Are they too busy for their "best friend" Rikku? Why'd they have to send this idiot? My eyes narrowed. Oh, those jerks sent him on purpose! Always trying to do their 'good for society' and get us back together. It had been years ago! I was over it...mostly. Couldn't they understand it was never happening? It's so frustrating having self-proclaimed matchmakers for best friends.
I shrugged. "So go tell Brother to head for Besaid." And with that I turned back into the bathroom and slammed the door in his face.
Anyone could hear the panic in his voice.
"B...B...But RIKKU!" I could tell it was serious when he was using my real name.
"Brother hates me. DO YOU WANT HIM TO KILL ME?"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Well, he let you in here, didn't he?" And with that, I stepped back into the shower and let the water engulf me once again.
Well, it's slow coming, but I promise it'll get better! Also sorry about the short chapters! When I write it on paper, it seems so much longer. Plus, I always add to it. Well, I've already got a little bit of the next chapter done, It's going to be in Gippal's point of view. So until next time!
xoxo for always x
