Chapter 4

Was it good for you?

Tifa was released from the hospital two days later. It felt so good to feel the gentle breeze kiss her face, to see the blue sky and feeling the warm sun; it just made her want to cry. Cry because her life has now being turned completely upside down. Five days ago she made a terrible decision, one that could have taken her away from all of this, away from her home, her family and all her true friends.

But it was one decision that she made and it helped ease the pain she felt the moment she saw Cloud and Aeris together. Or at least she thought. She heard Garnet scream and she felt Vincent holding her, talking to her begging her not to leave him.

The ride home was a quiet one, no one wanted to talk, or maybe everyone was afraid to open up old wounds. Which was fine with her, she didn't feel much like talking. She just looked out the window as they drove home.

"Oh," Julia said finally breaking the silence. "I forget to mention that Rinoa has a new boyfriend and you'll never guess who it is, Tifa."

"Zack." Tifa answered, not turning away from the window.

"No, it's-wait yes it is Zack. How did you know?" Julia asked sounding somewhat disappointed.

"I caught them making out in the storage area."

"What?"

"Yep, Zack had her pinned against the wall, she was topless and-"

"Tifa stop it!" Julia almost screamed, the thought of her daughter acting like a slut, it was just too much for her to take in.

Tifa and Laguna laughed, "She's just kidding, Julia."

"Yeah, mom." She turned away from the window and looked at Julia, "Do you honestly think I would allow Zack to do that to her?" Tifa smiled.

Julia blushed, "Well, joke or not, I have heard some strange things about that boy. I am going to have a long talk with her."

Tifa shook her head, "Sure mom, but make sure you take pen and paper. You may want to take notes."

Julia looked even more confused, "Why?"

"Hmm, you may learn a few things from her." Laguna chuckled while he saw Julia's face. Her eyes were about to pop out of her head. "Maybe I should be there too." He added with a smirk, "I might learn a few things. Oh, look we're home." He turned the car into the drive way and turned off the car.

Tifa stretched as she stepped out of the car. She was tired of sitting. She wanted to go for a walk, run, anything. She wondered if Rinoa or Garnet would want to go for a walk. It's been a while since the three have been out together. The only time they saw each other was at the diner, but they were working. Once they got home, Tifa would go to her room, Garnet would be with her mother and Rinoa would be on the phone.

"Oh look, Cloud is here." Julia said coldly.

Tifa turned and saw him pulling up to the drive way. "I got him." Laguna said putting his hand on Tifa's shoulder.

"What do you want, Strife?" He asked once Cloud got out of his car.

Cloud ran his hand through his blond locks; Tifa remembered how much she loved his hair, but now looking at him made her sick to her stomach. "I just wanted to talk to Tifa."

"Not going to happen." Julia replied hugging Tifa's shoulders.

"I just want to talk to her…"

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" A male voice entered the conversation and it came from the house.

Tifa gasped. Vincent. What is he doing here?

Vincent stepped out onto the front yard. "I don't think I heard you." He was wearing a pair of black cargo pants and tight red t-shirt.

Standing beside him was Zack, his blue eyes glowing with rage. "Get out of here Cloud." He ordered.

"Not until I talk to Tifa!"

"You get tired of Aeris already?" Vincent said. "Guess she wasn't what you expected huh?"

Tifa closed her eyes and sighed. What was she going to do? Cloud was not going to leave until he talked to her and she did not want Vincent, Zack or Laguna getting hurt. She knows they can take care of themselves but she did not feel right having someone fight for her, in fact she hated it. Tifa did not need a knight in shining armor to come and rescue her every time she was in trouble.

Tifa breathe slowly through her nose. Opening her eyes, she began to move away from Julia's protective hold, "What do you want?" she asked, her voice was cold.

Everyone looked at her with looks of disbelief.

"I want to talk to you alone." He answered.

"Like hell you are." Vincent said looking back at Cloud. He began to make his way toward the blond man but Laguna and Zack stopped him.

"Easy, man." Zack said, "If she agrees to talk to him, that's her right."

Vincent looked at both men then back at Tifa; she thought she saw hurt in his eyes but ignored it. Right now she had to deal with Cloud. Right now she has to be strong. If she should any kind of weakness now would mean that Cloud wins.

No! I won't give in.

"Fine." Vincent stopped fighting them and made his way back to the house, not even looking at Tifa.

Laguna looked at Tifa, "We'll be inside."

Tifa nodded. She and Cloud did not speak until everyone disappeared into the house. Cloud scratched the back of his head. "Want to go for a walk?" he finally asked.

Tifa shrugged and began to walk down the street with Cloud following her.

"What the hell is she thinking?" Vincent said as he watched Cloud and Tifa walk away from the house. He was angry, angry that Cloud was here, angry that Tifa agreed to talk to him and angry at himself for letting his emotions get out of control.

"She knows what she is doing." Laguna answered, from the kitchen.

Zack nodded, "You see Vincent the thing with Tifa is that she does not listen to anyone. If she wants to jump off a cliff then damn it she will."

Vincent sighed with frustration, "You're right." He sat down on the sofa and began to rub his temples. But why do I feel so pissed off right now?

Tifa and Cloud made their way to the park that was at the end of the block. The small park has a swing set, a slide in the shape of a white cat and a jungle gym. Tifa smiled as she remembered all of the beautiful memories she made here. The picnics with her parents, playing with all her friends and the most important memory was the first kiss she shared with Cloud on the swings. They were very young then but it was very special to her.

That was in the past, now things are very different. "Okay, what do you talk about?"

"It's about that guy your with." Cloud began, "Something is up with him. He just comes out of nowhere at the hospital and starts beating the crap out of me. And when he drags me up to your room-"

"First of all, that guy his name is Vincent and I am not with him. He just happened to be there when I caught you with Aeris."

Cloud chuckled, "Yeah about that I-"

"I don't want to hear it. I don't care anymore. For all I care you and your precious princess can rot."

"You see! Do you fucking see why I dumped you?"

"You dumped me?" Tifa cried, "You didn't dump me! You didn't even tell me anything!"

"Well how can I when you don't let anyone talk. All you talk about is that damn diner!" He reached for Tifa, but she backed away bumping into a tree. He reached for her again and grabbed by her arms tight, "Newsflash, Tifa but working your ass off at that piece of shit place is not going to bring them back! They're dead, do you hear me? D-E-A-D!"

Tifa began to cry, but with rage. How dare he speak of her parents like that? "Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to bad mouth my parents?"

Cloud smirked, "Oh I heard the stories."

"What stories?"

"The ones about your father being a spy for Wuti."

Tifa could not move, she felt as if she was being suffocated. "You're lying."

"No, Tifa, I'm not. I have a friend who works in the Shinra building at Midgar. They told me."

"You're lying!" she screamed, she felt his grip leave her arms and grab her neck.

"If you scream," he squeezed her throat, "I'll have to hurt you." Cloud move closer to her, so close that she felt his breath against her neck.

"You know I always loved you neck."

Don't! Please, don't. She shut her eyes as Cloud licked her neck all the way to her ear. One of his hands began to play with her breast.

"S-stop."

"Don't think I will." Cloud removed his hand from her breast and reached into her pants. He stopped once he found what he was looking for.

"Don't." Tifa gasped as his fingers began to rub against her underwear.

"You're so wet. I guess I still turn you on huh? I wonder what it feels like without your underwear." He pushed the elastic aside and ran his fingers across her vagina. "So smooth."

Help me! Someone help me!

"Damn it! That's it!" Vincent cried as he got up. "I'm going to go look for her."

"I agree." Zack said.

"Okay, we'll all go." Julia said.

As they all walked out of the house they saw Cloud approaching without Tifa. "Where is she?" Vincent ask running up to the other man.

"She wanted to stay at the park." He answered.

Everyone watched as he got into his Camaro and drove off. "I'll get her." Vincent offered and ran to the park.

Once there he saw her sitting under a tree, her head low and her hair was a mess. Seeing her like this brought back horrible memories. He quickly rushed over to her. "Tifa." He called out to her placing his hand on her shoulder.

She reacted to his touch and quickly back away from him. "Don't please don't!" she whispered.

"Tifa?" He got down on one knew to get a better look at her. A mark on her neck, was that a hickie? He examined her closely and saw that she was a mess. Her clothes were dirty and her pants were unbuttoned. "Tifa." He grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "Tifa what did he do to you?"

She pulled away again, "Don't."

"Did he- Did that bastard touch you?" He asked his voice full of fear.

She didn't answer him. So he lifted her face slowly so that she was looking at him. Her eyes showed no emotion now. Nothing. He had to get her home. Somewhere safe. "Come on I'll take you home."

"No."

"No?"

Tifa was crying, "I can't. I can't let them see like this." She grabbed his hand. "Please."

Seeing her like this broke his heart. "Okay, but I want you to tell me everything that happened."

They arrived at Vincent's apartment thirty minutes later On their ride her she told him everything. How Cloud had touched her, how the threaten her. How he told her that her father was a spy, everything. Vincent was ready to go after Cloud and kill him, but Tifa made him promise her not to do anything. Not even tell her family.

Once inside he led her to the bed and laid her down. She needed to rest.

He grabbed his cell phone and dialed Laguna's number. "Hey, it's me. Yeah. She is going to stay here with me for a while. Hope that's okay? No nothing happened, she just wanted to get away for a while. Okay, yeah. Bye."

He then dialed another number, "You were right. There's a leak. No don't know yet. I'll call you when I find out." He hung up the phone and let out a heavy sigh.

Tifa stayed in bed for two days. She did not eat or drink anything. He knew that she was in pain but if she stayed like this she was going to die. He enters the bedroom, "Tifa?"

He saw her siting on the edge of the bed. "Good morning." He then walked to the dresser and pulled out a part the pair of sweats and shirt that Laguna lent him.

"Come on you need to get cleaned up." He helped her to the restroom. "Will you be okay by yourself?"

She nodded.

"I'll be right here." He closed the door.

After several minutes he went back to the bedroom. "Tifa?" he knocked gently. "Are you okay?"

Nothing.

"Tifa!" Vincent was getting nervous. What if-? What if she? Memories of that night filled his head. He panicked and kicked the door open to find a naked Tifa standing in the middle of the room.

"What are you doing?" Tifa cried. Grabbing the shower curtain.

"Umm, sorry. I thought that you-"she did not move.

"Get out!" Tifa ordered.

Gods, she is beautiful. He turned red and handed her a towel. "Sorry." He walked out of the room.

Tifa walked out of the bathroom, "Vincent?" She called to him.

"Yeah?"

"Do you have a brush or a comb?"

"Yeah, it's in the –hold on. I'll get it for you." He walked into his room and found a comb. "Here." He turned around but Tifa was nowhere in sight. "Tifa?"

Snap!

"Oww. What the hell?" Vincent felt something slap his butt.

"Ha! Serves you right for trying to peep at me in the bathroom." Tifa laughed rolling up the towel for another assault.

"Peep at you? Please? You're just not worth the effort."

"What?" She turned, so that her back was to him. "I'm not pretty?" She whimpered.

"What, no- I mean yes." Damn it!

"It's okay. I guess I am meant to be alone." She walked out of the room.

"Tifa, wait." He followed her out.

Snap!

"Oww, Damn it! You'll pay for that!"

Tifa laughed, "Don't think so, peeper. You're going to have to catch me first."

Vincent chased her around the living room until he got tired that he just jumped over the sofa and Tifa crashed into him. Causing them to fall to the floor, with her on top. "Looks like I win."

"That's cheating."

"Says who?"

"Says me." Tifa tried to get up, but Vincent tightens his hold on her. "Let me go."

Vincent shook his head.

"Please?" She asked and pouted.

"Nope. It will cost you one-"

"Kiss right?"

Vincent looked up at the woman that was on top of him. She was beautiful, but something was missing, her eyes looked empty. His hand touched her cheek and she flinched a little at his touch. "Tifa." He whispered her name as he ran his hand trough her hair. She began to bite her lip as he pulled her closer to him.

He felt her become tense, "I would never hurt you."

She smiled, a small smile, which disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, but it was something. He lifted his head off the floor and gently creased her lips with his. "Tifa let me help you."

Tifa accepted his kiss, his help. She wanted to forget everything. She moaned in her throat as Vincent's tongue enters her mouth and he deepened their kiss. He brought her closer to him as his hands touch her cool skin. He ran his hands up her back and realized that she was not wearing her bra.

"Tifa." He growled as he rolled them over so that he was on top. His member was tight against his clothes.

Tifa surprised him when she began to pull his shirt off. He sat up on his knees and pulled it off tossing it aside. She sat up and touched his chest. Her small, inexperienced hands sent shivers down his spine. She began to kiss his chest as her other hand unbutton his pants, pulling them down just enough so that she could find his hard penis.

"Oh, Tifa." He whispered into her hair as she began to pump. Slowly at first, she began to move faster when Vincent began to rock his hips against her hand.

Tifa got down on all fours and began to lip the tip of his cock. "You're so big." She said as she began to suck on him. It was so good. She was so good.

"Tifa. I'm coming." His seed hit the back of her throat and she moaned.

"Did you like that?" She said as she wiped the corners of her mouth.

Vincent picked her up and carried to the bedroom. Sitting her on the edge of the bed he removed all her clothes. He laid her down and began to kiss her breast, sucking on her nipples. She moaned as his hand began to rub her vagina.

"Vincent! Oh!" She rocked her hips against his hands.

"What was that? Didn't hear you."

"Please!"

He began to make his way down, kissing her stomach, her inner thigh until…

"VINCENT!" He began to lick her opening, causing her to squirm against his tongue. He then went to enter her...

Gods she tastes good! He continued this until he felt her muscles contract against his tongue.

"I'm – I'm coming. Oh gods! Vincent!" She screamed as he licked every last bit of her juice that poured out of her.

"I guess that answers you question, huh?"

Tifa grabbed Vincent and pulled him toward her. She kissed him, tasting herself in his mouth. He positioned himself in between her thighs. He looked at her, "Are you ready?"

Tifa nodded. She gasped as he entered her, digging her fingernails into his back as her body adjusted to him. He began to pump slowly when he knew that she was ready.

"Tifa! Gods, you're so damn beautiful!" He said as he picked up the pace. Her moans began to get louder as he began to move faster. Her breast bounced with each thrust. It was a wonderful sight.

"Vincent!" She screamed again as they had both reached their climax.

Out of breath and very tired, he lay down next to her and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight Tifa." With that they fell asleep.

Yes I know that I am making Cloud to be a complete jackass and I am sorry. Well that was my first attempt at a lemon. It's not that good, but at least I tried. Hope you like it.
