This chapter is so cute! I squealed so much while I was reading it, and I hope you do too. The sixth chapter will most likely come later on since I need to think of some ideas. ^^


I sat in the Luca café with Yunie and Paine, who discussed our set list for next week. I wasn't really paying much attention to them. My mind was on Gippal as usual, and I still couldn't stop thinking about him. It was hard to not think about him and how inch we kissed yesterday too.

I wanted to be strong for him, and I wouldn't let my friends bring me down. I did my best to focus on what they were saying about next week, but I didn't know what to say to contribute. I was lost in my little world of Gippal.

"Well, look what the cat dragged in," Paine said, referring to Gippal and the others coming into the café too. "Why do they always have to hang out here?" she let out a sigh.

I started to focus my attention on Gippal when he turned and smiled. I looked away and blushed madly while covering my cheeks. I didn't want Yunie and Paine to see me blushing right now.

"I thought I told you to stay away from him?" Paine asked me with a scowl on her face.

"I can't help it. We both live at Home in Bikanel Desert," I said as I defended him. "Besides, I don't really care what you guys think anymore," I started to say while taking a deep breath.

"You should care though," she shook her head and placed a palm over her forehead.

"Paine, I love him. Nothing you can do or say can break us apart," I told her with a firm voice.

"You love him? How many times are you going to realize he's our rival?" she asked me with a deep sigh. "I can't believe you're turning against the band," she said out of disappointment.

"I am not turning against anyone," I said to her while almost raising my voice at her. "I just want to be with him, okay?" I pouted softly at her.

"No, it's not okay. It will never be okay for you to date someone who's our rival," she said to me while raising her voice.

Tears started rolling down my cheeks again as I sniffled. "You...don't...understand...it..." I said as I started sobbing.

"Hey kiddo, why the tears again?" Gippal suddenly asked me when I gasped.

I wiped them away and shook my head with a smile. I didn't want him to worry about me, but I knew he would either way. I noticed Paine glaring angrily at him as I pouted at her. I wanted her to stop giving him the evil eye, only I realized she wouldn't.

"Can we talk? It's nothing bad or anything but..." he blushed a little as he rubbed the back of his head.

"How about you come to Besaid with me and practice a little while, Paine?" Yunie said as she grabbed her hand rushed off.

Gippal took a seat beside me and smiled softly. Once they were gone, he kissed me softly and deeply. My cheeks flushed red when I pointed to his band mates at the other table. It didn't seem to bother him since he kissed me again.

"I don't care what anyone thinks, and you shouldn't either, okay?" he said as he stroked my cheek with his knuckle.

"Um, if we're kissing, does this make us um... you know..." I blushed at the mere thought of the words now.

"If you mean boyfriend and girlfriend, then yes it does," he smiled and kissed me deeply again.

I blushed as I returned his kiss, been with his band mates watching us. I smiled widely and stared into his swirling green eye. It wasn't until I realized he wanted to tell me something. I had to ask him what it was.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" I finally asked after we parted our lips.

"Hm? Oh! Um... well... it's really hard for me to say but..." he started to reply as his cheeks flushed bright red. "I guess what I want to say is... I..." his band mate interrupted him before he could finish.

"Yo, out food is here now!" the band mate called to him.

"Just a sec, Ruba," he said as he looked me straight into my eyes. "I'm just going to come right out and say it before I'm interrupted again," he took a deep breath and exhaled softly.

"Say what?" I asked while my cheeks reddened again.

"To say that I love you," he grinned while kissing my lips again. "I don't even care about our bands rivalry. What I care about more than anything is you the most right now, kiddo. So, I love you," he said after our lips parted.

I snuggled close to him as his arms wrapped tightly around me. "I love you too," I told him while burying my face into his chest.

"Huh? I can't hear you," he teased me, even though he knew exactly what I said to him.

"I just said I love you too," I giggled and began kissing his lips softly.

Gippal returned my kiss deeply as we started to make out. I couldn't believe he was my boyfriend and thought it was another dream. Only, if it was a dream then why did his lips feel so real now?

"I guess this makes us official, Cid's little girl," he snickered as I puffed my cheeks at him. "You're such a cutie, you know that?" he laughed loudly when he poked my cheeks to deflate them again.

"You're my big meanie," I giggled and kissed him one more time.

"I am?" he chuckled after returning my kiss. "Hey kiddo, I have to get going. I love you," he said after kidding my softly again.

"I love you too," I kissed him back and smiled at him. "I'll miss you lots, meanie!" I giggled as he looked back at me.

"I'll miss you even more," he smirked at me.

I watched him head back to his band mates again after I had left. I still wasn't going to tell Paine and Yunie I was dating him. Who knows what they would do if they knew? I wanted my happiness to last for a little longer with him.
