Here's the next chapter! Sorry it took so long, I've had a bit of trouble with this story.
Gippal's POV. Don't own Final Fantasy, but if I did, I'd dress Nooj in a tu-tu!
Not So Ordinary
Chapter Seven - Loosen Up My Buttons, Baby!
I left for Djose shortly after me and Rikku's conversation on Besaid beach. She wanted to stay a little while, but I really wasn't lying when I said I had a lot of paperwork to get to. Although things were slow, I always let my paperwork pile up. So my airship came and she stayed. It reminded me too much of the events all those years ago, leaving on an airship and leaving Rikku behind. I've been feeling abnormally wistful, and I blame it all on her. On Besaid beach I had so much more I wanted to say to her; how I much I had missed talking to her and how I wanted more than anything for things to be like they were when we were heartsick kids. All I had been thinking about before was how physically attractive she was...but she's just so much more. A few weeks went by and my mountain of paperwork turned into only a hill, then only a mound, then there were only a few sheets lingering on my desktop, and around the time I signed my name for the final time on the last paper Yuna's wedding day had finally arrived.
So I got dressed in my nicest suit, hopped in my airship, and made my way to Besaid for the boring part of the day; the ceremony.. I could hear music before I even reached the town, obviously everyone was excited for the High Summoner. With my hands in my pockets I entered Besaid village and before me was what would probably be considered total chaos. I saw pink blurs that had to be bridesmaids running from one hut to another, and tuxes zig-zagging through the village as well. But my jaw hit the floor when I saw Rikku. She was standing next to one of the huts, tapping her foot impatiently. She looked more beautiful than I had ever seen her! Her hair was pulled into a loose bun and her makeup was just perfect, Rikku was gorgeous enough without loads of makeup. The infamous pink bridesmaid dress wasn't frilly like we had both expected. It was a cute mid-calf length, strapless, and relatively plain. Not to mention it fit in all the right places. I couldn't help but eye her curves and hope that they'd be grinding against me later at the reception. And after a few drinks...maybe I could have that dress on my hotel room floor. Why is it that no matter what I think about Rikku, my libido always gets the best of me? I sauntered over towards her with my hands in my pockets, trying to look as cool as possible; a little charm never hurt, eh?
"Hey there good lookin', waiting for something?"
"It's about time! Did you forget that we agreed to go to this thing TOGETHER?"
"Of course I didn't! C'mon, we're already the best looking couple here, why not top our coolness level by arriving fashionably late?" Couple? Did that really come out of my mouth? I don't think Rikku believed it either, I saw a quick look of shock on her face which was quickly replaced with a look of aggrevation.
"I'm IN THE WEDDING, Gippal! I can't BE late!"
"Alright, alright, let's get in there then."
And so we walked towards the temple together. I wasn't exactly sure what Rikku meant about me being late anyways. It's not like the ceremony had started yet. Little did I know what I was getting myself into being a bridesmaid's date. I thought I'd just walk in with her and then get to sitting and waiting for the whole thing to be over. I had not idea I had to actually walk up the aisle arm in arm with her in front of everyone and then do this ceremonial kiss-her-hand-and-then-sit-down thing. But I did it, and ironically enough we both blushed. It's pretty ironic when I think back to how a kiss on the hand is nothing compared to our history together.
After all of that time sitting and spacing out...I heard those magic words, "You may now kiss the bride!". I have never been more happy in my life. I cheered louder than everyone else, mostly because I was relieved the ceremony was finally over.
We all know what that means. Time to party.
The reception was going to be held in a huge hall in Luca. I mean, it's the only place that housed a place big enough to hold all the people who wanted to see Miss Lady Yuna on her wedding day. Her ceremony was small, but she figured she'd let everyone in on the party so no one would get angry. That's Yuna for you, always trying to make everyone happy, even when it's supposed to be her day.
We all piled on the airship and we were off. I didn't think it was possible for Rikku to get more gorgeous than she had been all dressed up for the wedding, but after Paine caught the last image in her sphere-recorder, she ran off to change. And when she walked back onto the Bridge, I felt my breath catch in my throat. I could definitely tell she had the same mindset as me. Sure, she behaved herself during all the "official" business...but us Al-Bhed were notorious for our wild nature. She was dressed in a short denim skirt that was frayed around the edges, and a very low cut black lacy tank top. To top it off, her beautiful golden tresses were falling gracefully around her shoulders in slight waves. I could also tell she had applied a lot more makeup, the dark eyeliner and eyeshadow made her bright emerald eyes pop.
This was going to be a great night.
Luca finally came into view, and I could barely contain my excitement. I could almost taste the liquor already.
We filed off the ship, and I made sure to cut in the line right behind Rikku. Hoo-boy, that skirt didn't leave much to the imagination.
Thankfully, Rikku and I were placed at the same table even though she was part of the wedding party. Paine, Baralai, and Nooj sat with us. I stopped at the bar on the way to the table, and I saw that so had everyone else. After a few short toasts (please note the sarcasm), I was feeling pretty good. As the speeches had been going on, waiters had brought us drink after drink. Rikku was looking pretty buzzed herself. And damn, was she looking sexier than ever.
So the music started up and of course, following tradition, Yuna and Tidus danced to "their song". I glanced over at Rikku. She was looking just as antsy as me. Our gaze met and I shot her a smirk.
"Gippal, you better be ready to shake it." She threw me a wink, and almost on cue the music got louder and faster. I saw her eyes go wide and she grabbed my hand.
"I LOVE THIS SONG!"
Oh, it was on.
Typical
Hardly the type I fall for
I like when the physical
Don't leave me asking for more
I'm a sexy mama
Who knows just how to get what I want and
What I want to do is spring this on you
Back up all of the things that I told you
The booze was definitely helping Rikku dance even better. I don't think she really cares who's looking or what she looks like. I had forgot just how hot she was on the dance floor.
You been saying all the right things all night long
But I can't seem to get you over here to help take this off
Baby, can't you see?
How these clothes are fitting on me
And the heat coming from this beat
I'm about to blow
I don't think you know
Her hips were moving seductively to the beat and she was singing the words to herself. I could feel the heat radiating from her body and it was definitely turning me on.
I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby
But you keep fronting
Saying what you going to do to me
But I ain't seen nothing
I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby
But you keep fronting
Saying what you going to do to me
But I ain't seen nothing
Now she was grinding her hips against mine and I thought I might explode. I don't know if it was the alcohol or the way her body was moving but I couldn't help but kiss her.
You say you're a big boy
But I can't agree
'Cause the love you said you had
Ain't been put on me
I wonder
If I'm just too much for you
Wonder
If my kiss don't make you just
Wonder
What I got next for you
What you want to do?
Unfortunately, she pulled away...but only to whisper in my ear, "Think we should take the party somewhere a little more...private?" I couldn't help but drop my jaw in surprise. It's been a long time since Rikku has been this...straightforward. Can't say I was complaining.
Take a chance to recognize that this could be yours
I can see, just like most guys that your game don't please
Baby, can't you see?
How these clothes are fitting on me
And the heat coming from this beat
I'm about to blow
I don't think you know
So I grabbed her hand and off we went, out of the hall and into the neighboring hotel where Yuna had provided accomodations for the wedding party. Rikku pulled me along to the elevator and smashed the 'up' button. As soon as the doors opened she pushed me into it and her lips were pressing against mine ravenously. I couldn't help but let my hands wander; first caressing her hips and then teasingly up her shirt. We pulled away after the tell tale 'ding' and after a quick rummage in her purse for the key, we were in her room.
I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby
But you keep fronting
Saying what you going to do to me
But I ain't seen nothing
I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby
But you keep fronting
Saying what you going to do to me
But I ain't seen nothing
In minutes our clothes were scattered around the hotel room and her sweaty body was pressed against mine on the bed. We were both lost in a haze of kisses, caresses, and drunken lust. I could only hope neither of us wouldn't regret this in the morning.
Come on baby, loosen up my buttons babe
Loosen up my buttons babe
Baby, won't you loosen up my buttons babe?
Loosen up my buttons babe
I'm a make you loosen up my buttons babe
Loosen up my buttons babe
Why don't you loosen up my buttons babe
Loosen up my buttons babe
Hope you liked it! I'm not good with the whole lemon-thing, so I hope a tease was enough for you guys (but also not too much!). The next chapter will probably be the last, and hopefully I won't take forever to write it. Haha, keep your fingers crossed! Don't forget to review!
Ps - I don't own the song "Buttons" by the Pussycat Dolls. But I sure do like it!
