You are the music in me
Storyline – When I hear my favourite song, I know that we belong. You are the music in me. [Rinoa x Squall [College
A/N: third chapter! Yayyy! This is going well : ) Hopefully this doesn't start to get really boring like Broken did around now. I'm still following my plan though so hopefully it won't. The next two chapters are pretty fluffy so the boredom things might kick in. If it does the chapters after this should help put it back onto the rails. I'll try and make them as fluffy and as short as possible : ) Also if you think the story to be going a little fast don't worry there's a reason for that. Enjoy
Chapter 3 –
Rinoa's POV
Finally the Christmas holidays had rolled around and everyone seemed to be in high spirits. My little talk with Seifer had seemed to go well, Squall hadn't heard from Quistis since we packed up college for the holidays. He had brightened up too, back to his jokes and smiles again which made me really happy. Not seeing him happy really got me down.
During the holidays Squall had noticed he needed some cash to pay for his shopping. After going through whose presents he needed to buy with him it was really apparent that he needed to earn some money. He'd found himself a part-time holiday job in a clothes shop called Outrageous in the local high street. He hated it but he needed the cash.
Selphie and me have been hanging around a lot seeing as we had nothing better to do. All our coursework for college was finished and had been given in to college before the break up. We'd come up with a plan, a good plan a great plan which would keep us entertained for a really good while so on Monday we started it.
"They sell some nice stuff in there but a lot of it is really tacky and cheap" She said as we walked down the high street with a few shopping bags in our hands.
"It should be really fun then," I said as I smirked.
We walked into the shop and looked around. Over at the counter there were two young guys, one with an emo haircut and the other with his hair spiked slightly. We carried on looking around. My eyes scattered over the rails of clothes. Some of the clothes were really… loud and I suppose they were outrageous, guess it does exactly what it says on the tin then.
"You see him?" I asked as we walked further in
"Nope, maybe he's on his lunch break"
"Nah he's not on it yet, I asked him what the times were"
"So then he might know what we were planning!"
"Nah I made it seem like just a general question and plus" I turned and smirked at her "Its Squall, he wouldn't pick it up even if I told him" she giggled and we carried on walking through the shop looking for Squall.
We passed some really horrible clothes. There was this little waistcoat made from fake tacky fur and another was a pair of baggy trousers, which were bright neon pink with loads of pockets and bits of fabric hanging everywhere. Selphie saw a really nice yellow skirt, which she was going to buy but that must have been the only thing that took her fancy. I hadn't come across anything though.
"Rin there he is" Selphie pointed out as he emerged from a door at the back of the shop
"Bingo" We walked over to him grabbing hideous items of clothing as we went. I'm sure I saw Selphie pick up a long floral summer dress with really puffy sleeves. I had picked up a bright yellow mini skirt, some white knee high boots, a green see through blouse and a black vest which had sequins scattered over it, way too many though.
"Excuse me?" Selphie said politely as she lightly tapped the tall brown haired teen on the shoulder. He turned slowly and of course went wide eyed to see us in the shop. I'm sure he was having a mental fit in his mind when he saw the clothes we were holding.
"Rinoa, Selphie. What're you doing here?"
"Could you please show us where the dressing rooms are?" I asked in a very polite voice while a smirk stayed glued to my face. The look of pure confusion had returned to Squall's face. I raised both my eyebrows and tried to make my face look as serious as possible.
"Come on guys, you know where they are"
"No we don't, we don't usually shop in here" Selphie pointed out with the same smug polite voice I had on.
"I mean we clearly should of come in here sooner, look at the lovely clothes we found" I said as I held up my neon mini skirt
"Girls what are you playing at?"
"Us?"
"Yes, you"
"I really don't know what you mean!" Selphie burst out in offended way causing the floor manager to spare a glance to us. When he saw the two of us talking to Squall he walked swiftly over to us, not before checking us out of course, which could make any girl become a nun in two seconds flat.
"Is there a problem here?" he asked as he pushed his glasses back up his nose
"No not at all, these two are friends of mine"
"Is this true?" He asked looking over to Selphie and me. We shook our heads. "Its not. Well Squall, I would like you to assist these two ladies" he raised his eyebrows at us while he said that and another shiver of disgust shot down my spine "in whatever it is they want. Got it Leonhart?!" Squall looked at the manager and then us before sighing heavily and nodding his head.
We both looked at Squall with our hands our hips awaiting the words we'd wanted to hear since we walked in "How may I help you?" He said miserably. We both grinned before heading off in the direction of the dressing rooms.
Squall stood outside whilst myself and Selphie got changed into our "outfits". The plan was working perfectly. Of course there was no main goal in this plan and we wouldn't achieve anything apart from the chance to wind Squall up.
"What do you think?" I asked as I emerged in my outfit. Selphie poked her head through the curtain whilst I twirled slightly and turning to grin at Squall. His eyes had travelled from the bottom of my boots up to my head where an evil grin awaited him. I felt really out of place in these clothes. The shoes were really high, the top was really tight and the skirt was really, really short. "Well?"
"Its uh… yeah its very…"
"Bright?" Selphie asked from behind. I turned and smirked at her.
"Yeah well its bright and uh very different"
"You know I really don't think it very me, I'll just leave it"
"Thank god for that" Squall whispered hoping I wouldn't hear
"Excuse me?" I asked politely
"N-nothing"
I went back into the dressing room and got changed back into clothes that I felt comftable in. Skinny jeans, a black t-shirt and some ugg boots. After I'd done I came out of the changing booth and waited for Selphie to emerge in her dress.
The curtains flew back and out stepped Selphie in what I truly believed was the most hideous dress I'd ever seen. It went down to mid-calf and the neckline came up right around her neck with a frilly collar. Just to make it worse the sleeves came down to her wrists and were a little puffy, they also had the frilly stuff around the bottom of the sleeve. There were horrible pastel coloured flowers printed all over the dress too, there wasn't one clear space of fabric, flowers covered everywhere.
"Well Selph its uh…" I looked at her "v-very nice…" I tried to hold back the laughter, and I'd thought I'd picked out a bad outfit.
"Yeah I quite like it" she said also trying to hold back her giggles "What do you think?" She asked looking over towards Squall who stood there with a look of disgust spread across his face
"Yeah its great" he said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah I don't think I'm going to buy this, just the yellow skirt I think" She said as she went back through into her booth. Squall looked over at me and raised his two eyebrows before starting to walk over to me. I started walking back too before my back was touching the wall and Squall was only a few inches away from me.
"Your in such big trouble Heartilly" he said with an evil smirk on his face
"I've no idea what you're going on about Mr…sorry I didn't catch your name? Leonhart?" I said with a smile
"Really big trouble" he said as he backed away to stand back where he was leaving me leaning against the wall.
Selphie emerged from the dressing room and handed her dress over to Squall before thanking him and walking over to the counter to pay for her skirt. We walked over to exit; I turned around to look at Squall who was leaning against with his arms folded smirking evilly at me. I giggled and carried on walking out with Selphie.
"Did you see his face!?" Selphie said as she held her sides. We were both in a laughing fit. It was true, the look his face was truly priceless "What did he say to you while I was getting changed?"
"He said I was in big trouble" I said as my laughter died down
"HA! That should be funny" She said with a smirk
"Yeah, I wonder what he's gonna do?"
"Well I'm sure you'll find out soon enough"
"Yeah so am I"
It was around 6:30ish when I'd got home and mum had left a note saying that she was staying at her boyfriend's house the night and that she'd left me some money to order some food. I walked into the kitchen and pulled down the leaflet for the local Chinese takeaway and ordered one order of chicken chowmein before returning to the living room to watch some TV.
My mobile started to vibrate in my pocket and when I pulled it out it saying I had a text from Squall. I smirked as I opened it up. "Open the front door" it said. I giggled nervously and walked over to the door. I looked through the peephole in the door and saw Squall standing there with one hand leaning against the doorframe. I opened it with an evil smirk on my face.
"Hey there, remember me? The guy from the clothes shop?" he said sarcastically
"Hm, vaguely" I said with a giggle "Come in" I said as I stepped aside to let him in. He walked in and looked at me again with a smirk. "So what can I do you for?"
"Well I thought I'd just come by you know"
"Oh?"
"Yeah, revenge is so sweet" he said with a grin. I giggled and started running up the stairs knowing he was going to chase me, which he did.
I laughed as I went into my room and tried to close the door but Squall had put his foot in the way before I could. I let the door go and started to back up against the wall in my room. He was walking at me with that same evil grin on his face, I was smirking too.
He came up to me and placed both hands on the wall where I stood so I couldn't move.
"That wasn't very nice today was it?" He asked in a taunting voice
"No but it was fun" I giggled
He put both his hands out and grabbed and my sides knowing I was really ticklish there. I started to laugh and tried to fight him off. I tried to grab at his sides too but he stopped me and trapped both of my hands while I was still laughing. I moved off of the wall and tried to run but just fell on my bed and somehow took Squall with me, making him land right on top of me.
He stopped tickling and also started laughing as he collapsed on top of me while we both laughed.
He lifted himself up slightly when the laughing was dying down to look at me. He was inches away from my face and I could feel his breath tickling my nose. I was staring eye to eye with him. There wasn't a smile on either of our faces anymore just blank expressions as we both searched each other's eyes. I thought I knew what was coming.
The gap between us had closed and our lips met. He kissed me lightly and started to pull away before looking at me again and pulling back in to kiss me again but this time with a lot more passion. My eyes widened as I felt his lips begin to move with mine and his tongue touching at mine. My eyes closed and I started to kiss back. Thoughts still were reeling through my mind, this was Squall and I was kissing him.
A/N: Okay I know you may think that this story is moving quickly but trust me there's a reason for it so don't worry. Yeah it was kinda short too but there wasn't too much I needed to include and I did say that I would make it quick. Anyways, hope you liked it. I need some more readers so please tell people about this story and tell them to leave me some reviews : ) Thanks.
