Lightning's POVI guess Zack and Teef are out together? I just hope it isn't an one night stand again. HE really tore her up. Cloud was standing there awkwardly. "Cloud she is gone if you want to fucking leave you can." "She is right though. I shouldn't have left you. I feel terrible Light. I fell in love with you the minute I fixed your hair when Zack fucked it up in science class. You were my first Light." I tired to act like it wasn't a big deal. I have hidden that feeling for nine years. I can't feel like this again. "You hurt me Cloud. Why the fuck did you do it?" "I could make a sad excuse but I can't. Honestly my mom convinced me that I needed a break because Zack and I were going into SOLDIER. I can't tell you how sorry I am." I don't know why but I kissed him. Tifa's POVI followed Zack's car to his apartment. Apparently we were ordering in chinese food. I would let him think he was having a huge moment of glory. That guy never changes. When we got to the apartment, and the food arrived. We sat in his living room as he got up to turn on the fire place. I rolled my eyes. "Za-" "Nope I promised you a romantic dinner so dammit you are getting one." I couldn't argue with him. He sat down and told me about his time in SOLDIER and how it changed his life. "What about your career? You're an author?" "Um yeah. I have written a few books." "What about?" "Mainly psychological thrillers. I wrote one about-" His phone went off. I laughed. HE looked at it, ignored the call, and turned his phone off. "I am sorry, please, continue." "Well I wrote one about a abandoned psych facility. It is my most popular one. I went to college and studied human behavior and psychological disorders and other topics. It is a particular fascination of mine. When I was in college I worked at a bar for a while but once I got out I moved on." I said. HE was listening intensely. I couldn't tell if he was doing it to score brownie points or simply because he was interested. "Wow. You really have grown up. A kid never stopped you?" "Well it had its struggles, but my mom didn't have a job so when I needed help she would step in and watch Marlene for a while." "I don't want to cross a line but whatever happened to her father?" "He doesn't know about her. I never had the heart to tell him. I have wanted to but he didn't seem ready for a kid and he probably doesn't even remember me. He had his future to look forward to and I had mine." "So you are perfectly fine on your own?" "It's made me stronger." HE then kissed me. Lightning POVSome how I ended up in Cloud's car making out with him. IT was like high school again. "Wanna go back to my place?" Cloud asked. I thought about it. "Sure." I smirked. I missed Cloud so 's POVWe were on Zack's bed making out. He was on top of me. I pulled away. "Zack I need to tell you something." I said. "What is it?" HE asked curiously. "Well more like ask. I know it is bad considering the timing but how should I tell Marlene's father that he is the dad?" He sat up. "Why is it someone I know?" "Yes." "I think you should just tell him but soften him up first." I nodded and kissed his neck. He inched away. "Who is it?" He asked. "Zack I-" "Who Tifa? Who is your kid's dad?" "Zac-" "Who?" HE shouted standing up. I wasn't afraid of him, but I was nervous. BE fore I could stop myself I told him. "You are." "What?" "You are Marlene's father alright?" HE didn't say anything. "You happy I told you? Because I feel a lot better!" I said sarcastically. "I should go." I mutter and grab my jacket and purse. "It was nice seeing you Zack." I said and started to leave when I was pulled into a kiss. Zack pulled away. "Why didn't you tell me?" "Do you think after what you put me through that I was going to tell you?" "You waited ten years?" I nodded slowly. "It takes time to heal and when I was going to tell you you were already in SOLDIER and after that I didn't know where you'd be. I looked everywhere." "When can I meet her?" He asked. I looked at him shocked. "You want to meet her?" "Of course I do. I don't want her growing up with out a dad. I want to be in her life." I started crying and kissed him again. I pulled away and said, "Tomorrow you can. She is probably asleep right now." HE nodded. "Then where were we?" HE said with an evil grin and kissed me again. Oh Zack...
