The next morning, Aeris woke up and called her parents to let them know that she was here and that she was gonna hang out with me tonight. They were okay with it but went over all the rules with her, which I heard since they were on speaker on her cell phone. They told her no drinking, smoking, drugs or anything of the sort. I giggled and rolled my eyes. As if she was the kind of girl to do crap like that. I knew better but I would make sure we didn't get into too much trouble. Suddenly, my cell phone rang. It was Cloud. I instantly wondered why he was up this early.
"Hello?" "Hey, Tifa..." Silence.
"Cloud...is there something you need to tell me? Calling me this early there's gotta be a reason.."
"Uh..no not really. I was just gonna ask if you guys wanted to hang out tonight with us," he said. I smiled. "Well..Aeris and I are going to that night club tonight that everyone talks about...you guys can come."
"You serious? Alright! Sounds awesome. Ok, who's driving?"
"How about you drive all of us?" "O..ok. Ok,cool. Ok..I'll pick you guys up around seven then? I'll get Zack and Yuffie then come get you,"
"Sounds good. Bye Cloud,"
"See ya later. Bye,"
Aeris hopped on the bed and crawled over to me.
"Tonight is gonna be so much fun!!"
"Yeah well, I'm gonna keep an eye on you to make sure you don't get into trouble," I replied. She grunted.
"Speak for yourself! You're the bad one, not me!" I looked up at her.
"Only with you..."
She smiled. My mom walked in the room.
"Girls, I'm going out soon and I probabley won't be back until really late. Are you okay by yourselves? I left money on the table so you can order,"
"We're going out tonight anyway. We'll be fine."
"Ok...be careful. I'll see you later." she smiled and waved to Aeris then left. I was glad that she was actually trying to not be a total bitch. I guess my attitude helped her realize that I was sick and tired of her crap. I flopped down on the bed, my annoyingly long hair hanging over the edge. Aeris got up and sat on the floor, running her delicate fingers through my hair. I turned my head so that I could look at her. I loved the way her florescent green eyes sparkled, no matter how light or dark it was. Her hair was up in a bun, the loose strands of long hair hanging down and her bangs hung over her face. Reno walked in, once again shirtless, his red mane looking sloppier than usual. I looked at him, annoyed.
"Yes, Reno? Is there something you need?"
"Yeah, where the hell is my Metallica shirt?" he asked. Suddenly, Kadaj appeared in the doorway behind him, rubbing his eyes.
"Why do you need it now, Reno?" he mumbled.
"...hi Kadaj. Did you stay last night?"
"Yeah..." he smiled.
"Wow...hope you didn't make too much noise" I answered.
"Ha ha ha...Tifa, where the hell is my shirt?"
"I don't wear it you freak! Go look in the laundry. Duh..." He gave me a 'I'm gonna kill you' grin and left, pulling Kadaj along with him and slamming the door. I sighed and layed back down.
"What's his deal? Luckily he's got a boyfriend, hopefully he won't ask to come with us tonight," Aeris laughed and rested her head on my shoulder.
"Speaking of tonight...I'm gonna pick out my outfit now!"
"Isn't it a little early for that?" I said. She didn't care, swinging open my closet door and scanning the clothing.
"What should our theme be?"
"For...?"
"Our outfits!"
"Hmm...school girl. I have plenty of plaid." I answered. I got up and pulled out all my shirts and skirts to choose what I was gonna wear tonight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was finally time. I finished tieing my black boots that rose just above my ankles. Aeris sat on the couch with a magazine in her hand, waiting for Cloud to come get us. I looked at the clock. 7:10. He was late. As usual...
Suddenly, Reno and Kadaj came downstairs after many hours.
"Geez, you guys have been up there all day. What's going on?" I asked.
"Tifa...I was spending time with my boyfriend. Now, you would do the same with your girlfriend so please, no more personal questions," Reno grabbed a bottle of soda from the fridge and a large bag of chips, his longs sleeves completely hiding his hands. He looked like a child. It was quite amusing.
"Where are you guys going?" asked Reno.
"No asking personal questions, Reno..."
He rolled his eyes. "Whatever, we'll be upstairs,"
"Of course."
Finally, Cloud's car pulled up outside. I grabbed my cell phone and took Aeris' hand, guiding her out the door.
"This is gonna be so fun!" she said excitedly. I smiled at her. The top on Cloud's car was down and Yuffie and Zack sat in the back, yelling and waving like maniacs. We ran up to the car before they caused a disturbance in the neighborhood.
"Uh..Zack. Girls in back. You sit with Cloud!" said Yuffie.
"You're so bossy," he said opening the door. "..that's hot." he continued. Yuffie rolled her eyes then smiled and moved over so we could sit. Cloud and Zack certainly looked quite "dashing". Their eyes had tons of black eyeliner around them, with a red streak coming down from one eye.
"How cute, they decided to match," teased Aeris.
"Thanks Aeris, you look nice too." said Cloud smiling. She smiled back at him.
"Ahem! Eyes off, mister!" I scolded playfully. I held her hand tightly. He smiled and stuck his tounge out at me to which I responded by slapping him on the head.
"Ow! Hey, be thankful I'm taking you guys out tonight!" he started the car and we were finally off to the night club. This was my first time going but I knew Cloud and Zack had already been there.
The parking lot was packed when we got there but we managed to find a place. The club doors were open, letting out the strong aroma of alcohol and cigarettes. Through the windows I could see many people dancing to the blasting music. Neon letters of blue spelled out "Grey" on the top of the building. Odd name for a club, if you ask me. We all paid the entry fee and entered the club. Inside, flashing lights of many colors bounced off the walls and drunken lunatics danced around like maniacs. I couldn't tell if some were dancing or searching for a lost contact lens on the ground. It was rather amusing. We got glances from much older people than ourselves. They were probabley wondering why we weren't home in bed by now. The music that was played was pretty cool,too. An interesting mix of cyber-trance dance music. Different from what I was used to. But I liked it. Aeris tapped my shoulder and attempted to talk to me over the roaring music.
"Let's dance!"
"What!?" I shouted back.
"LET'S DANCE!!" she yelled louder.
"OK!!" I replied, smiling. She took my hand and led me out on the dancefloor. I couldn't say I had any experience with dancing. I had no rhythm. It just wasn't something I was good at. Now, she was a different case. She was able to pick up the beat of the song and move perfectly to it.
"C'mon, Tif! Dance!"
"I can't!!"
"Yes, you can!" she placed her hands on my hips and moved me in coordination with her body.
"See? You can." I smiled up at her and wrapped my arms around her neck. Eventually, I got into it and moved on my own. The beat of the music got heavier and our bodies came closer, amazing chemistry flowing between us. I was beginning to feel the tension. The music got louder and heavier and the sweat ran down my arms as we moved to the beat. I put my hands on her hips and mimicked the way she danced with me. Neon colors bounced around the club and I could see nothing but blurred figures of people dancing in the background and the beautiful girl in front of me. In the corner of my eye I could see Zack and Cloud standing there, but I couldn't see their faces. But I knew they were probabley wide and and drooling with excitement. Men. I continued dancing anyway.
By the time the song was over, I was sweaty and tired.
"Hey, did you guys have fun out there?" asked Cloud.
"You should know, mister-innocent-act. You were watching!" I said.
"I couldn't help it! Call it male instinct." Aeris rolled her eyes.
"Of course," she said, then smiled at him. I felt like I was about to faint. All that hot dancing made me thirsty.
"Ok, I'm gonna go get a drink, I'll be back," Aeris snatched my hand quickly.
"I'll go with you." she said. Cloud's eyes followed her until we were hidden behind the crowd of people.
"Dude, don't even think about it..." Zack warned.
"What?" he looked around nervously then walked away. (A.N.: Hmm..a bit of suspense here?)
"What would you girls like to drink?" asked the bar tender.
"We'll just have some water," I answered.
"Hey, that was something out there. You learn fast," she told me.
"I still can't dance."
"Of course you can,Tifa. Don't be silly." she smiled.
For the remainder of the night, we danced and danced like there was no tomorrow. Yuffie was eager to join us in our little dance group that developed over the hours. Once the night ended, I could barely walk. My feet...everything was killing me. Apparently, everyone else was the same way. I saw many people drunkenly walking to their cars, thankfulling having a responsible driver with them. We all tiredly climbed into the car and tried to get comfortable on the way home.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What a relief it was to finally be home after a long night of dancing. It was about 1:30 in the morning when we walked in the door.
"Oh my god! Why can't you guys do that in Reno's room?" I asked, flicking on the light, seeing them making out on the couch. Reno got up and snatched his shirt off the floor.
"Because no one was home! C'mon baby." Kadaj followed him upstairs with dreary eyes. I sighed.
"I feel kinda bad for ruining their moment..." I usually never felt guilty for anything I did that was mean to my brother. But this was different. He had helped me alot the past few days.
"It's gonna be okay,Tif..." she said. I flopped down on the couch, exhausted from the night's events. For once I actually hoped my mom would stay at her boyfriend's house tonight. I wanna be alone with her. I sighed again.
"I'm gonna go change into comfy clothes and get some snacks and stuff. You can change,too if you want. I'll be right back." I went upstairs and on my way in my room I heard Reno and Kadaj whispering. Their words were so sweet to eachother. Now, I felt really bad for ruining their moment downstairs. The least I could do now was to mind my own business and change.
I stripped off my school girl uniform and tossed my cell phone on the bed, then searching for my pair of pajama bottoms and my tank top. It was a relief to get out of that uniform and into something comfortable. Suddenly, Aeris walked in the room and turned on the light.
"You scared me!" I whispered.
"Sorry, babe. I wanted to see if you were still changing. Unfortunately, you already have," she wrapped her arms around my neck and sat me down next to her on the bed.
"Now, now. Don't be greedy." I told her. She frowned.
"With you, that's impossible..." I pulled her face to mine and gave her a gentle kiss.
"I want you to promise me something..."
"What is it, Tif?"
"I want you to promise me...that...you'll never leave me. That'll you'll never do anything to hurt me...please. I'm so scared. I-I'm terrified. Because...all the good things were going away before you..."
"Tifa...I swear to you...I will never ever do anything to hurt you. I won't leave you for anyone. Not even Cloud!" she laughed.
"I would hope not..." I answered. She placed her hand on the side of my face and moved my head towards hers so I could look into her eyes.
"I love you, Tifa." she inched closer until our lips met, still moving ahead and pushing me back on the bed. I was excessively nervous. She slid her hand up the side of my stomach and left it there, her other hand coming up to move the hair out of my face. She smiled sweetly and asked me if I wanted her to stop what she was doing.
"I dunno...I'm nervous. But...I don't want to stop..."
"Are you sure?" she said, looking into my eyes. I smiled and kissed her in response and gently ran my hands up her back. She was so soft and warm...like always. I loved it. And she smelled so sweet. It was like heaven being next to her. Being under her. She slowly started kissing my neck, pausing to make sure I still wanted it. I was pretty sure I wasn't changing my mind. Not yet, anyway.
The night went on and the atmosphere of the night seemed so right. There, with her, was so perfect. I didn't think I could ever experience a moment so affectionate and comforting anymore than this.
