Chapter 5:I hope you enjoy.
I can only possibly dream of owning Final Fantasy 7, because it belongs to Square-Enix.
Chapter 5: After the Storm
The early morning was silent, the moans of pleasure and gasps for air had all but faded. Cloud and Tifa were still asleep and though they both lay facing each other, there was some distance between them. A white sheet covered their bodies, lying at an angle from the waist of the blond man up to the neck of the darkhaired woman.
The light that shone from the heavens were blocked out by the thick green curtains that Tifa had in her room, making the room seem dark. Eventually Cloud's eyes opened slowly and the first thing he saw as he awoke on the comfortable bed was Tifa's face. She slept peacefully and looked happy in her sleep, her lips curled slightly as if she was smiling at the dream she was having. Seeing her sleep so peacefully, her head resting on the white pillow and some of her dark hair falling across her face filled him with an alien serenity. Slowly he turned so he lay on his back but still faced her. Tifa remained unmoving still lying on her side as he gently placed his hand on her cheek. She was warm to the touch and he welcomed her warmth, smiling slightly. Tifa stirred moving her cheek back a bit, feeling uncomfortable with the hand touching her skin, she subconsciously moved her head trying to eliminate the uncomfortable sensation. What suprised him was how innocent and pure she looked, it seemed that the night's event's hadn't took place, that he hadn't deflowered her, her innocent form made her look both pure and incorruptable, it was difficult for him to accept that he was the one who tainted her.
Cloud realizing that Tifa didn't like his touch, removed the cause of her discomfort. Their clothes were mixed together on a pile on the floor and he slid of the bed leaving the raven-haired woman to slumber alone, retrieving his clothes from the pile as he walked into Tifa's bathroom. The idea of using her bathroom was new to him, he had always used the other one, the one Denzel and Marlene also used. Even when he lived here he felt as if he wasn't allowed into her bathroom or even her room, it was all alien to him. However, after their actions the previous night he thought she wouldn't mind. Plus the fact that he didn't want to get dressed to go down the hall to the other bathroom then get undressed again. This solution was much better.
Hearing her shower activate, Tifa lazily opened her eyes. She turned to her bedside table to glance at her clock. It was only six. She usually awoke at seven, but after staying up into the morning her body demanded sleep. Her thoughts returned to the previous night. She lay back on the bed, her face beaming with happiness, the white sheets covering her entire body. She already knew that it was Cloud in the bathroom and a part of her wanted to join him, to have a shower with him. She wondered what it would be like, to be with him with the water rolling over their naked bodies while they were in such close proximity of each other. Her daydream ended with a giggle.
Without even realizing it the door to the bathroom opened and Cloud walked out, dry and fully clothed.
Tifa couldn't help but blush, her cheeks were stained with pink, she averted her gaze from him and onto the white sheets.
"Good morning," Cloud said in his calm detached voice as he walked over to her side.
Tifa sat up but made sure the sheet that covered her didn't fall off, but a part of her wondered why she did that, didn't he already see her in all her glory or was it because he was covered and she wanted to be covered as well.
Slowly, Tifa turned to meet his gaze, locking gazes with him, her crimson orbs and his azure eyes had a silent conversation.
"Good morning Cloud," Tifa said in an unsure tone, still trying to gather her thoughts on how she should act.
Cloud was standing right at the edge of the bed, his eyed fixed on Tifa, "Is something the matter?" he asked.
"Oh, no, nothing's wrong, I'm just glad to see you," she said hurriedly.
Now from her response he knew that something wasn't right. Without more words he took a seat on the bed. His body was now closer to hers and he shiftes he could come even closer to her. Tifa's blush turned deeper and her cheeks were now more red than ripe apples, but she could remove her eyes from his face.
"If you're feeling uncomfortable about last night……" Cloud started.
"No, last night was great…it's just I feel a little odd," Tifa quickly answered.
Cloud noticed that some of her hair was still hanging down into her face, so he used his right hand and tucked it behind her ear. Tifa smiled at his care, but he had double intentions. Not only did he clear her vision, he also brought their faces closer to each other so he could taste those lips again and before Tifa knew it, their lips were joined in a sweet kiss. Her eyes opened slightly in shock, but immediately she closed them again and enjoyed the sensation of Cloud's lips against her own.
Cloud, mustering enough strength, managed to break the kiss. His eyes were closed during the entire kiss and as if on queue both pairs of eyes opened at the same time.
"How do you feel?" Cloud asked.
"I'm happy," Tifa said to him, trying to hide her face which was glowing like the sun. "Yet I feel exhausted and some parts feel sore and/or numb," she explained.
"Don't worry, that's perfectly normal after your first time. It'll pass." Cloud reassured her.
"Alright, but I might as well get up now, I'll have to make breakfast for the kids soon anyway." Tifa stated.
"Tifa, why don't you stay in bed today?" Cloud suggested.
"Huh, why?" She asked, slightly confused.
"Well, like you said, you're exhasted and feeling sore or numb. I will take care of Denzel and Marlene, and you should get some rest," he answered.
Tifa lowered her head. Having a day to just rest and relax sounded good. On the other hand, she wondered if she could afford such a luxury? Before she could answer, Cloud interrupted her again.
"Besides, since everyone is in town, I'll ask Barret and Red to watch them, then we could spend some more time together," he suggested again.
Tifa liked that idea, of there just being him and her alone together. She agreed, and Cloud left the room, walking down the hallway and stopping in front of the childrens' room. He opened it and saw just what he expected to see, both of the kids sleeping peacefully. He closed the door again without even making a slight sound. He was glad they were asleep. He also hoped that they were asleep during the whole night and didn't hear him and Tifa. He descended the stairs and entered the bar, which he found surprisingly clean considering that neither him nor Tifa had bothered to clean it up after they forced everyone to leave. They had been too excited to be alone together and now that Cloud thought about it he couldn't wait anymore. He wanted the same sensation he had experienced the last night and didn't want to wait untill Barret came to pick up the kids so he could spend the evening with her, so gathering himself hemade his way backup the stairs.
