chapter 17

NORMAL POV

As the sun rose from the window the ray of light awoke Lightning from her sleep as she felt somthing strong around her waist as she looked at the man she spent the previous night with Cloud.

as she looked at the clock it read 7:00am Lightning decided to take and let Cloud sleep so she slowly got out of bed so not to wake Cloud she grabed her clothing from Clouds room and went back to her own room to get ready for work. after Lightning got dressed in her C.G.C soldier outfit and heads down to the kitchen and makes a pot of coffee as she hears a knock come from her front door hoping it might have been serah to talk to her bout how she was right bout everything between her and Cloud. as Lightning opens her front door she see's the rookie Sora and is a little confused

"Sora? what are you doing here at 7 in the morning?" looking at the rookie waiting for an explanation

"Mrs Farron may I enter?" Sora asked by the look on his face he didnt seem cheerful like he was yesterday at the C.G.C headquarters

"are you ok Sora?" Light asks closing the door

"is Cloud here as well?" he asked

"u-um y-yes but he's asleep" Lightning says blushing

"good that will make this easier for me" Sora says sitting

"would you like a cup of coffee?" Light offered

"im sorry Mrs Farron I dont drink coffee" Sora says

"please call me Light...and is there anything you want to drink?" she asked looking into her fridge

"orange juice?" Sora asked

"yes I have some" as Lightning gets him a cup

"so whats wrong why are you here at 7 in the morning?" Light asks again

"its bout Hope yesterday...he DID try to kill Cloud" Sora said to Lightning as she dropped her mug

"W-what did y-you say? Lightning says in utter shock

"Hope tried to kill Cloud...he wanted to make it seem like an accident...however after he pushed the blue button again after you two left everything was fine no more problems" Sora says and explains simply

"B-but wh-why? Lightning asks holding her heart

"Because..." as Sora goes to explain Cloud comes down the stairs in just his pants leaving him shirtless

"hey baby are you...Sora? whats he doing here?" Cloud asks confused

"um-um...t-to give m-me my newest m-mission" Lightning lied so she doesnt get Cloud worked up

"no Cloud i'm here to confirm that Hope did try to kill you I saw him hit a blue button to activate all the military soldiers and highly advance missles and im sure you get the idea.. and after you and Light left he hit it again to regain control" Sora explained

"I TOLD YOU HE TRIED TO KILL ME CLAIR!" Cloud hollers halfway mad and awake

"Clair?" Sora seemed lost

"CLOUD! YOU WASNT SUPPOSE TO SAY MY NAME INFRONT OF PEOPLE!" Lighting seemed upset for a few minutes

"its ok Light your secrets safe with me...ok? please dont be mad at Cloud I did bring in shocking news" Sora said then looks at Cloud "and by the looks of it he's halfway awake so his mind isnt fuctioning correct yet"

"your right...sorry Cloud" Lightning reasoned

"but I fought Hope and he was suspended from C.G.C and I was awarded for my hospitality and Hope is now with Vanille so i'd let it go alright Cloud?" Sora says firmly

"I guess I mean I would kill for Lightning to" he kisses her forehead "and besides you fought him for what you thought was right...and he is suspended...And with someone named vanilla"

Sora and Lightning starts laughing more Sora than Lightning "Cloud sweety its Vanille i'll introduce you sometime ok?

Cloud shruggs his shoulders "ok sure"

"so whats next Sora" Cloud asks as he grabs his sword for battle

"we head to C.G.C and will have our newest assiments" Sora says standing up
