A/N: OMG, I'm so bad! I didn't say anything in the first chapter, so I'll say it now...

Disclaimer: I do not own Reno or Yuffie. They belong to those SquareEnix people. I wish I owned them...they'd be fun to party with. Oh, anyway...yeah, the story. Here ya go!!!

Chapter 2

Yuffie sipped the last of her drink, feeling warm from the rum. She giggled and looked over at Reno. "I can't believe that guy didn't even ask how old I was!" she exclaimed.

"I told you, you look older," he said. He grinned at her. "You're actually a real knock out."

"Please," she said, leaning back on her elbows and staring at the ocean. "I'm hardly a knock out. Tifa, now there's a knock out! I'm too damn skinny."

Reno cocked his head in thought. "Won't lie to you, I've always thought Tifa was beautiful," he said. He laughed when she punched his arm. "But so are you, Yuffie. Don't sell yourself short, Babe."

She looked down at him, stretched out in the sand beside her. "You really think so?" she asked.

"Yeah," he answered, sitting up on his elbows to look into her eyes. "I mean, damn, didn't you see all the dudes checking you out as we walked back here?"

She shook her head.

"Hot and oblivious to the fact," he said with a grin. He reached out and brushed a lock of hair behind her ear. "You're a rare one, Yuffie. Most hot girls would flaunt it and be conceited. You don't even know how beautiful you are."

Yuffie snorted. "Whatever, Reno," she said, pulling her face away from his hand and trying to shake the excited feeling she felt when his fingers touched her face. "You're just trying to get in my panties or something."

"I'd be an idiot not to try," he said with a grin. He sat upright and turned to face her. "Seriously, though. You are beautiful."

"You're just saying that 'cause you can see more of my 'assets'," she told him.

"God, bitter much?" he grumbled. "Can't even take a damn compliment?"

Yuffie sat up and faced him. "Fine, you wanna compliement me, do it," she said, crossing her arms.

Reno grinned and reached out to stroke her cheek. "Fine," he said, running his thumb over her lips. "You are gorgeous, hot, you're pretty damn cool, and you kick major ass. And, hard to believe, I'm actually enjoying spending time with you tonight."

Yuffie stared at him wide eyed. "Really?" she asked. He nodded and traced the line of her jaw with a feather soft touch. "Why are you being so nice to me? I thought we were enemies."

"We WERE," he told her, resting his hand on her thigh. "Long time ago. Things have changed."

"You're still a Turk, though," she said warily.

He shrugged. "Guy's gotta have a job, Babe," he said. "And I'm damn good at what I do."

"Gotta admit," she said with a shy smile. "You look pretty good in your uniform."

Reno laughed. "Thanks, Babe," he answered. "Now that's how you take a compliment. Graciously."

She reached up to smack him, but he grabbed her hand and scooped her up in his arms, setting her in his lap in one quick movement. She was too shocked to struggle. Reno's left arm encircled her tiny waist as his right hand cupped her cheek and ran through her hair.

"What are you doing?" she whispered against his lips.

Reno ran his fingers over her mouth and down the side of his neck. "Just admiring the scenery," he murmured as his lips closed over hers.

A/N: I gotta say, I love Reno! Want to see where this goes? Review and tell me what you think. I have an ego...it needs to be fed. ;)
