Note: I do not own any character described here!
I've been thinking about this story for two months now (since I finished playing Dirge of Cerberus!) \o/ and finely decided to writhe it. Well…yeah...I know it got too long my story…but wanted to write it anyway. Like I said it was all in my mind for two months…so I just wanted to pull it out of my system. :p
About the story…it is a continued story of ffVII first game...the advent children movie and Dirge of Cerberus…so yeah it contains some spoils.
And one more thing…I haven't played yet the of ffVII first game…I only watched the movie and played Dirge of Cerberus…so If I said any absurd thing about the story...please tell me…but remember…my story is not supposed to be a exactly replica of square's stories…so Yeah, I know I did changed a few information…
In this story, I mixed everything…drama, romance, horror, action and a bit of comedy…
There will probably be some grammar mistakes, so don't hate me for it, please, instead be helpful and tell me what is wrong, besides, like I said on my profile, English is not my original language, I just like it and want to practice it! ;)

---Chapter 9 – The dancing ---
…
I knew sometimes that that could be bad for a man…but sometimes we could also take some advantage from the fact the women take too long to bath and to get dressed. But off course I tried to do everything as quick possible.
I made a simple quick dinner for us and settle the terrace table for us to eat out side. I even put a candle and let the sound of a smooth piano playback on the old sound system standing in the living room. I was wearing my father's tuxedo that fit me perfectly, since I got as tall as he was. I was looking back to the ocean when she appeared.
-Tadaaamm..-she said.
And there she was…taking my breath away… she looked way more stunning then I could remember my mother in that dress… the most beautiful thing that God had ever created….there is no Da Vinci in the world that could sculpt such a perfect beauty. She had left her hair loosen in her back, and the dress fit really perfect… except for the missing shoes that Lucrecia wasn't wearing none…
-Wow…-I felt really pathetic saying that, but it was all that came out. She smile a little embarrassed. -…you look great. –I didn't wanted to sound too "piegas" praising her.
-Thanks… -so she got closer and fixed my hair with those little fingers -…you and your messy hair…-my smile was there again -…not that I don't like it…but…you know, in a tuxedo you should fixed it.
-Oh...thank you… -now I blushed…she said she liked my messy hair.
As a true gentleman that I am, I pulled the chair for her to sit.
We enjoyed the meal with a glass of wine, talking about my uncle…after seeing so many pictures of him around the house; she got curious to know more about that old man. So I told her how great he is, and that he went living somewhere in Europe soon as I started to work, and told him I didn't needed him to baby-sit me anymore. She also told me about her mother, how tough and demanding she is.
I noticed the music was still playing, so I got up from the chair and raised my hand for her.
-Would the lady give me the pleasure of a dance? –I said smiling at her…I thought I had smile to encourage her…but I guess I did it because I was really looking for to it.
-A dance? Can you dance, Vincent?? –she sounded surprised.
-Yeas, I can! –I said very proudly.
-You are a little box full of surprises aren't you? –she had a special glare in her eyes. She drunk the rest of the wine in her glass and took my hand.
I felt really good and confident about myself….leading that little fragile body… and she moves so smooth and gracefully…We danced for a long perfect time… at first we started dancing with a significant distance between each other, but as we continued drinking and getting a bit happier… we were getting closer, until we ended embracing each other.
When the last song was over, still embracing my neck she looked in my eyes. Slowly she approached my face…I felt her sweet drunk breath again… so I just closed my eyes… and she gave me a kiss on my cheek… almost touching my lips. My heart jumped again. Crazy to get out of my chest.
When I opened, she was smiling fixing the back of my hair.
-Thank you so much for this lovely night.
-Sure… -I… I wanted to tell her that I would do anything she wanted me to…but I knew that was too much to say.
She let go of my neck and laid on the floor looking at the stars…so I did the same.
-What are you thinking? –I asked.
-I'm thinking…that I don't want to leave this place…this is perfect…I loved the freedom I felt…this was…the best day of my life Vincent…I'm really thankful to you. –I know she didn't really mean about not leaving here…she would never leave behind that project like that…so I just said:
-Well…if you want, we can come over every weekend.
She lean her head on my shoulder.
-So…you never brought anyone here before?
-No.
-And it had to be your annoying boss?? –she said it with a mocking tone.
-Hmm…she is not that bad.
-Is that so?
-Yeah..
-Hmmmm…so tell me about her. –I looked at her, but she just kept looking at the stars.
-She…is a really stressed little woman…a workaholic one, but…she is kind, and never actually yelled at me…always smiles at me...kindly…and she is so intelligent, that sometimes I feel…I fell really stupid, around her… -I made a long pause after that….there was so much I wanted to say, but I was drunk, so I should be careful on what else to say.
- Don't you have a girlfriend Vincent? You know, this place would be totally a hit! –she sounded a little nervous on changing the subject.
-Anh…no…I don't have a girlfriend.
-But you had… right?
-Ahn...I used to have one…in college, but…we it didn't worked.
-Oh... I'm sorry.
-It's ok…I didn't loved her, or anything.
-Hmm…but did you…ever loved someone?
-Hmmm….I don't know…maybe this little 9 years old girl…when I was on junior high…hehe.. –I said feeling embarrassed.
-Ohhh…that's sweet…-she said smiling.
-What about you?
-I had a boyfriend…on second year of college…but we didn't worked ether…he got mad that I was too focused on my studies...hahaha
-No kidding! Well, I guess I'm not surprised…it does sounds like you, you know.
-Yeah…but I don't regret that…he was too shallow anyway…
I was about to make a stupid random question when something more interesting came in my mind…
-…did you…knew…my father? –her expression quickly changed.
-Yes, he had lecture on my college with doctor Hojo. –I got surprised, she said it without hesitation.
-Why didn't you tell me?
-Because...I wasn't sure that he was your father…I just realized that, when you told me your father was a scientist too…please…don't be mad at me!! –How could I? She has just become my precious thing! I could never get mad at her.
-I'm not mad.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-Thank you.
Yeah, that night was really perfect. The sky was so full of stars of so many different sizes…as they were competing between themselves to see each one was the most beautiful. And the full moon standing there as a queen….the queen of the sky…on a dead endless waiting for her king to come and warm her from that cold lonely night.
When I looked at her again she was already sleeping…as a little fallen angel dressed in red…my beautiful red.
I took her carefully in my arms and put her in the guest's room's bed up stairs. I covered her with a blanket, and went bed myself.
Sunday was perfect too. We both wake on a handover, but we took some pills that I had brought, because I knew we were drinking… and so we were good as new.
We spent the whole afternoon on the beach.
This whole thing is funny because when I was driving her here, I never thought that this could happen, I was always keeping my distance from this house, because I knew I would live what had happen in the past again, but I guess that would have occurred if I had come alone…so I was actually happy that I brought her here…because now I have a new reason to come again…new memories to keep and remember…and I didn't want to loose it.
When the night was coming, we had to say good bye to the house…and a see you later…definitely.
We had a long eight hours of road ahead.
