Chapter 3

.

Tifa rubbed her eyes , a small yawn escaped her thin lips.

Slowly, bloodshot colored eyes opened. She sat up and glanced at the clock beside her bed.

It's almost 9:30 am. 'He's on work already..'

She closed her eyes, Last night's events returned at her system. She sighed as she tried to stop it.

.

While heading down the stairs, She heard someone was at the kitchen, cooking.

She grabbed the broom and slowly walked into the kitchen.

Suddenly, She saw a tall man with spiked blonde hair standing in front of the stove, Wearing a simple black tank top and a black jogging pants. Her eyes widened as she saw her apron on him.

The man looked at his side, It seemed that he noticed that his wife was already awake.

"Hey.." said Cloud, as he flipped the egg in the pan.

"What are you doing?" Tifa asked still holding the broom.

"Are you planning to greet me by that?" He asked, not turning at her.

Tifa looked at the broom in her hands, She quickly dropped it on the floor.

A chuckle escaped from his lips, And she heard that.

.

Tifa blinked unbelievingly at her husband. She watched him as he prepared their breakfast. She nodded stiffly as he asked her if she wanted some coffee.

Tifa was left staring at Cloud's back as he continued to stir her coffee.

She pinched her cheek and a quick ouch escaped her lips. Cloud was already seated in front of her, watching her.

"You're not dreaming, idiot.." He deadpanned.

She glanced at him. 'Maybe..'

"Why are you here?" She asked as she took a sip on her coffee.

"I decided to have a leave.." Tifa almost choked, covered her mouth

"..w-what?"

"A two weeks leave.."He paused and looked at her. "I want to rest, atleast.."

She nodded at him, as she seemed to understand his reason.

"So, It means that you're going to be here all day?"

"What do you think?" He smirked.

She felt her face warmed. 'Oh.. After what he did last nigh-' Her thoughts was cut off when Cloud clapped his hands.

"Hey! No spacing out while Im here.."Then he continued eating.

She glared at him. 'Let's see..'

.

.

After Tifa stepped out of the bathroom, She saw her husband standing beside the door. Waiting for her,

Her cheeks reddened, He was naked from waist to top. She blushed even more as she noticed that his blue eyes were eyeing her hungrily.

She was only wrapped by a white thin towel that ended at her thigh. He walked closer at her, until the gap between them was gone.

She gulped audibly, His breath lacing with her skin. Her breasts touched his chest and she felt tiny electricity run down her spine.

"Out of my way.. Please?" He whispered to her ear seductively. She lowered her head, and her forehead made a contact with his shoulder.

He gently moved her out of the way, and when she's already at the side , He proceeded and entered the bathroom.

She let out a deep sigh while walking her way back to her room.

.

.

She stared at herself in front of the mirror. A tear rolled freely from her eyes, with one hand she wiped it away.

"Why?" She whispered to herself. She inhaled deeply then smiled.

"I had enough of this.."

"If he didn't want the way I treated him, then fine."

Then she walked out of the room.

.

.

"Where are you going?"asked cloud, as he glanced at Tifa while reading his book.

She ignored him, and continued putting her sandals on.

Cloud stood up and grabbed her wrist. He looked at her intensely.

"Where are you going?" He repeated, harshly.

She glared at him.

.

Irritated brown eyes met angry blue ones.

.

"Secret.." She put her index finger in front of her pinked lips.

"Tell me.." He growled, pulling her closer.

"Didn't you get what the word 'Secret' means?" She rolled her eyes.

"Then, you're not allowed to go anywhere.." He answered, He held her wrist tightly.

Her eyes widened, She bit her lips when the urge of laughing came to her. "Are you kidding me?"

This time, he forced her to follow him. He throw her effortlessly at their couch and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Im serious.. Tifa" whispered cloud huskily.

She quickly sat up and crossed her arms in front of her chest too. She stuck her tongue out at him.

"What's your problem!" He yelled. The irritation on his face was seen because of her earlier action.

"I have a lot.. And If Im going to tell it to you right now, maybe were going to finish it tomorrow!" She yelled back.

He exhaled deeply.

'Damn, Im here to relax'

Tifa stood up, as if she can read what's on her husbands mind. "If you don't want to be stressed, then don't mind me!"

Cloud stared at her brown eyes, his face softened.

"Why would I not mind you?" He paused and lowered his head. " You're my... wife"

"You.. You didn't even c-care for me! Why would you?" She broke down and hugged her knees, shakily.

Cloud reached for her, but he's afraid what will be her reaction.

He heard her sobbed once again. But now, In front of him. She never cried in front of him. Ever..

He shook his head and squatted in front of her, He pulled her arms and slowly pulled her into his chest.

He let out a sigh. 'I didn't know, I've gone this far.'

He slowly ran his large hand on her back and patted her head lightly.

.

"Im sorry.."

.

.

"Im really sorry" He whispered at the breaking woman in front of him.
