So, here is the sixth chapter as promised. :3 Right now, I also need to think of more ideas. They usually come pretty easily to me. XD But, I think I need to take a break for a while and let them come with ease instead.
I tried my best to keep our secret. I thought of telling Yunie, but I was scared of what she might think about it. I mean, I told her everything because she was also my best friend. This was one thing I don't think I could trust her with. I had never been happier, and for him, I focused more on practicing too. I wanted to get home so we could spend time together.
I think Paine was suspicious about my motivation. I could see it deep within her ruby eyes, but I didn't say a word to her either. I had to stay quiet and make sure no one found out about me and Gippal being together. The last thing I needed was to end up losing my big meanie.
"You're shockingly hyper today," Paine remarked to me after practice.
"What do you mean? I'm always hyper," I tilted my head at her. "I don't see how it's any different from how I always act," I told her with a nod.
"Well, you haven't really been acting like yourself either," Yunie piped in and agreed with her.
"First you're all mopey and depressed for a while, now you're hyper as hell," she circled around me as I gulped softly. "You better spill the beans right away, Rikku. You aren't going to leave this room until you do," she glared at me.
"I can't tell you," I turned away from them and bit my lip.
"You need to tell us," Paine demanded as I let out a deep sigh.
"Nope," I ran off before Paine could grab me.
I hurried home and knew I would be able to see him. I knocked at his door when he answered, seeing it was me. I smiled widely at him and placed my arms around his back. I was so happy to see him after missing him all day long.
"Hey kiddo," he smiled before firmly kissing my lips. "I missed you," he looked at me and smiled as he stroked my cheek.
"I missed you more," I giggled as he pulled me inside of his house.
I didn't care that he was shirtless. I loved nice nicely toned body more than anything. I mean, he is my boyfriend, so I shouldn't care about those things.
"Were you sleeping?" I asked him when he nodded. "That's not like you at all," I tilted my head at him with worry.
"I'll be fine," he chuckled as he kissed my lips. "I feel better because you're here with me," he pulled me close to his shirtless body.
My cheeks flushed red as I placed my head onto his warm shoulder. I loved when he held me close to him. It felt so right to have his arms surrounding me and protecting me. I stayed in his arms like this until I looked up at him with a big grin.
"I love you," I said with a giggle.
"I love you too, kiddo," he smiled before he kissed my lips deeply. "Are the girls getting suspicious of us at the moment?" he asked when I bit my lip.
"Paine is," I said as I looked away from him.
"Well, who cares about her?" he moved my face to meet with his swirling green eyes. "We belong together. If she can't understand that then to hell with her," he kissed my lips once more.
"I do," I said out of worry. "What if they try to tear us apart or something?" I frowned at him.
"They won't," he said as he held my close. "I'll make sure of they don't do that, kiddo. I love you, and I'm not going to let anyone take you away from me," he began kissing me deeply again as I returned his kiss.
"I'm so glad I found you," I told him as he put his head on top of mine.
"Me too, kiddo," he smiled and kept me tight in his arms.
"So, why were you sleeping anyway?" I asked him.
"My throat was hurting," he confessed with a soft nod. "You know, from all the practicing and stuff I guess," he shrugged and knew I would worry about him.
I kissed his lips and got him to smile at me. Even if it was usually a smug grin, I loved when he smiled more than anything. It always made my day, and I wanted him to always smile.
"Nhadala has me on strict bed rest right now too," he said with a sigh. "I haven't told her about us just yet," he told me when I looked into both of his eyes.
"You know something, you look really hot without your eye patch," I replied as our cheeks reddened again.
"Hm. You think so?" he chuckled and ran his hand over the back of my neck.
"I really do," I nodded as he started to laugh.
"I love you so much," he said as he kissed my lips softly.
"I love you more," I giggled playfully.
"Nuh-uh! I love you more, Cid's little girl!" he chuckled at him.
"Oh! How can you still call me that?" I said as I stamped my feel up and down while flailing my arms about.
"Because you're cute when you get angry with me," he laughed and scooped me into his arms.
"You big meanie! Why can't you be like a normal boyfriend?" I pouted at him until we kissed deeply again.
"Normal is so overrated," he laughed at me after pulling his lips away. "Anyway, I have to get some rest or my manager won't be happy. I love you, kiddo," he kissed my lips deeply again.
"I love you too, you big meanie," I giggled as I returned his kiss even deeper.
I headed home and already missed him like crazy. I also didn't know how long I could keep our relationship a secret. It wouldn't be too long until we were discovered and probably be broken apart too. I wasn't going to let that happen to either of us, so I had to be strong.
