After Cid dropped the small troop home, Tifa, Cloud, Denzel and Marline walked back into the bar. The kids went upstairs while Cloud went to the couch, and Tifa went to the bar.

It was 11:00 and the bar had about five customers in it. An old man in particular noticed Cloud's sleeping form on the couch in the other room.

"What's with that young lad there?"

Tifa looked over at him, "Oh, it's been a long day."

The old man laughed.

"Hmm, I guess I should wake him up." Tifa said as she gave the old man another beer and walked off to the couch.

She walked over to him and leaned over the back of the couch, watching him sleep. A smile crept across his face. He grabbed Tifa and pulled her over the back of the couch.

"So, you weren't sleeping at all were you?" She said as she pursed her lips.

"Nope. I just wanted you to come in here."

"And why would that be?"

"So I could kiss you."

"Oh, really?"

He nodded.

"I think you should help me clean up before you get that kiss." She said as she pushed him back down and got off of him.

He sighed and got up off the couch.

"Hey Tifa…"

"Hmmm?"

"You know you want one." He said grinning.

"Of course I do, especially one from a sexy man like you." She whispered in his ear as she walked past him.

He grinned and pulled her out of view of the doorway.

"You're sneaky…"

"And so are you…" He said as he pulled her into a kiss.

She grinned, "Alright, you got your kiss. Now come help me clean up"

The two walked out of the room and back into the bar.

"Thanks for the beer Tifa." The old man said as he walked out of 7th Heaven.

"Bye Tifa." The other men said before closing the door behind them.

"You scared my customers away…" She said playfully hitting him.

"I think that it was your sexiness that did it…" He said grinning.

"You think you're going to get some aren't you…"

"Hmm, maybe…"

"Help me clean up and I'll think about it." She said laughing.

"Heh, you know you want this."

"You just want me to say 'oh, I can't stand it anymore… your big strong arms and your sexy body make me want you, right here, right now'." She said, pretending to faint.

"Close, but I think that this would have done better than you seeing my 'big strong arms and my sexy body'." He said as he picked her up and sat her on the counter, kissing her.

Two small pairs of eyes were watching them from the stairway.

"Denzel, what are they doing?"

"Eww, they're kissing…"

"Ewwww…"

"Yeah, I know."

Tifa slowly started leaning back, giving in to Cloud kissing her. He went for the zipper on her shirt and slowly started to pull it down; he then stopped, sensing other people.

"What's wrong Cloud?" She whispered.

"We have little eyes watching us." He whispered back.

"Marline, Denzel… Come here." Tifa said as she re-zipped her shirt.

The two came down the stairs in shock.

"H-how did you know we were there?" Denzel asked.

"I sensed your presence."

"How long were you two there?" Tifa asked, getting down on her knees.

"Since you and Cloud started kissing…" Denzel said as he shuddered.

"What did you two want?" Cloud asked.

"We came down for a glass of water." Marline said.

"Here." Tifa said as she handed them the glasses.

"Come on, I'll read you a story." Cloud said as he followed them up the stairs.

Cloud read them a story and silently crept down the stairs.

"How sweet of you to read them a story." Tifa said as she moved over in the bed.

Cloud just sat there.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." He said as if coming out of a trance.

"Cloud, you can tell me…"

"It's just that…" He said as he got under the covers, "I- I'm not used to this…well 'us'"

"What do you mean?"

"Well I like it… and I love you Tifa."

"I know that Cloud… last night….I wouldn't have shared last night with anyone but you." She said as she smiled and kissed him.

"Same here…"

A moment of silence passed.

"Cloud?"

"Yeah?"

"You know that my dad is coming tomorrow, right?"

"What?!" He said as he jumped up.

"I guess not…" She said under her breath.

"What do you mean he's coming?"

"He's going to be staying here for a few days…so we can't do what we want…"

Cloud died a little inside.

"So that means none of anything?"

Tifa nodded.

"He's going to be sleeping in Denzel's room, and you're going to have to sleep on the couch…"

"Why?"

"Because… daddy would be upset if he found out we were sleeping in the same bed…"

"So…we've done more than sleep in this bed…" He said grinning.

"Oh, believe me, I know." She said laughing.

"Cloud…"

"Yes?"

"We can't be like we normally are…"

"I know…I'll be a good little monster…" He said while tickling Tifa.

"Hmmm, I know you will… now go to sleep, you little sexy monster." She said as she kissed him goodnight.
