Chapter 3

Tifa gave out a sigh of relief when they had finally reached Costa del sol, it was rather difficult to be in the same room as the new and improved Vincent Valentine, she was finding it hard to breath whenever she catches a glimpse of his sexy self, but she realized something once they got off the ship, that they were supposed to be married and should be all 'lovey-dovey' during the duration of this undercover mission.

Just why? She thought, pissed with fate that had been torturing her to no end since the blond Vincent showed up. She wished it was a different blond who was with her though, the same, moronic and dense blond that she's been fantasizing about punishing erotically but what to do, he had ran away again, or that's what she thought. Am I ugly or what? She thought sadly with hollow eyes.

They reached the hotel that were going to stay at, Tifa went over to the front desk to get their reservation while Vincent waited with his arms crossed, ladies and even some men, were blushing at the sight of him.

"Room for Langley please." She said. Reeve had given them their false identities before they were shipped off like a bunch of crates to Costa del sol, Quinn and Magnus Langley, complete with credit cards, Identification cards and other documents.

"Yes, Just wait a moment please." The receptionist gave her a warm smile then started typing on her computer. They had exchanged necessary information before the receptionist grabbed something from behind the desk, it was the keycard to their room. "Room 507, Honeymoon suite for Mr. and Mrs. Langley." She smiled again as she handed Tifa their keycard. "Thank you and enjoy your stay."

"Thank you." Tifa said. "Magnus, honey, let's go." She called Vincent over and the receptionist blushed furiously and was seeing Vincent walking in a Godly like state, all in slow motion and she had the delusion that he was walking straight to her with a sexy smirk on his face, then licked his lips with crimson eyes full of lust. But in reality, he was approaching his 'wife' with a blank look on his face and only grunted in response when she called him over.

"Wow..." Tifa whispered to herself while she stared in awe at their hotel room, it was huge and was really fancy looking. She saw that there was a veranda and she immediately went over to it and opened the sliding door, she blushed at what she saw.

A hot tub! She held her breath when she imagined Vincent submerged in the bubbling water with champagne in hand, calling her over to join him and 'relax'.

"Quinn." Tifa yelped and jumped when Vincent's monotonous voice was heard right behind her, she turned around hastily only for her nose to bump into his rock hard chest. They both backed away from each other.

"Yes honey?" She said in a shaky voice. Vincent blushed at the pet name.

"We should..." He cleared his throat. "Have lunch... Out." He said with a blank face, talking to her but not really looking at her.

"Oh... Yeah, okay. I'm starving." She said, then walked past him to grab her purse. "You know, you should probably call me something sweet, too. When we're out." She said. "To make it look convincing." She whispered while looking around as if there were other people in the room.

"...Right..." Vincent responded hesitantly.

"Let's go then?" Tifa said smiling, Vincent nodded then followed Tifa when she started walking away.

Cloud went speeding on the road on his way home, the sandstorm had finally stopped and he was more than happy to see his family again, he just hope that the moment he arrives in front of the house, his face would not meet with Tifa's steel fists, fall over and die.

I'm coming home soon Tifa... Should I get her some flowers? But what if she's angry and violently stuff them to my face? Or boil the petals then serve it as my tea? He was getting restless again.

"It looks nice here..." Tifa while walking around the beach with her stiff 'husband', they had lunch together at one of the restaurants that served seafood then had snow cones after, they had been interacting with the vendors and other people, asking about the disappearances that had been reported in the place, they confirmed that it was indeed true and a lot of tourists actually went home in fear of being abducted.

"I heard the ones who disappeared were strong, large build men." The vendor of an ice cream cart said as Tifa ate her second cone, Vincent wondered how she did that, they just had lunch, some snow cone then some fresh fruit juice, then there's the ice cream, he was already feeling bloated and he wanted to throw up but held it in. The vendor eyed Vincent from head to toe. "Someone like you." He said while pointing his forefinger at the gunslinger. Vincent merely raised an eyebrow with a blank look at the man.

"What? That's scary! I'm scared for you honey, they can't take you away from me! They just can't!" Tifa whined then hugged him that made him even more stiff with slightly wide eyes. He knew they had to act differently but he thought that Tifa overdid it though, or maybe he was just not used to her being whiny like that. He cleared his throat.

"No... I..." He hesitantly wrapped an arm to her and patted her back. The vendor watched with an amused look. "I will not leave your side..." Then he blushed. "Ba... Ba..." Tifa looked up in confusion.

"Ba...?"

"Ba...by..." He finally said it that made Tifa hastily let go of him and blush furiously. The vendor laughed at the two 'newlyweds'.

"Ah to be young, inlove and newly married. Happy times, happy times." He said with a smile while he shook his head. "And you, loosen up, you have fished a really pretty lady there." He told Vincent who tensed up again. "You're stiff as a scarecrow just standin' there lad!" He said again that made Vincent's eye twitch. Tifa giggled.

"Oh, he's just being shy is all." She said then looked over at Vincent. "Right, honey?" She said. Vincent nodded in small amounts but in rapid speed.

"...Yes." He paused. "Because... She... My wife..."

"Alright, we have to get going now, thank you mister...?" Tifa suddenly said to stop Vincent's disaster speech of extreme awkwardness.

"June, just June."

"Okay, I'm Quinn by the way, and this is Magnus."

"Nice to meet ya." The man said with a smile. Tifa waved goodbye then grabbed Vincent's hand and dragged him away.

"Magnus, like he said, loosen up and act all familiar with me... Remember, we've been together for six years before we got married." Tifa whispered to his ear that sent shivers down his spine with slightly wide eyes. He had never got any close contact with women like that, well, not since Lucrecia that is, and Yuffie, for forcefully latching herself to him all the time like a koala.

"...Right." He said again, and with that, he wrapped his arm around Tifa's shoulder slowly and started walking side by side with her to go back to their hotel room and report to Reeve at what they had found out. Tifa smiled but thought that it would be so much different if it was a different blond that was with her.

I wonder where Cloud is now? She felt suddenly lonely.

Cloud hurriedly fished out his keys then shoved them in the keyhole on the door of the place he called home, he hurriedly opened the door that he slightly stumbled upon doing it.

"TIFA? DENZEL? MARLENE?" He didn't mean to raise his voice but if it was from excitement of seeing them again or from fear of losing his face, he didn't know.

Where are they? He went over to the stairs to check on their rooms, he got to the kids' first, and he got shocked when their possessions were not there.

"No..." The said to himself then he hurriedly went over to Tifa's room to find it deserted as well. "What..." He was shocked beyond words. "They... They... Left...?" He said then started walking backwards to Tifa's bed and sat down on the edge. "They left me... They..." He held both his hands on the sides of his head, he felt like he was going to go crazy. "No, no, no, no, no, no, NO, NO, NO!" He stood up and went over to Tifa's closet and started pounding on it. "No! WHY?! WHY?!" He asked to no one in particular, full of anguish and misery, just then, the home phone rang and he ran over to it downstairs, he was on the verge of tears when he answered it. "TIFA?! IS THAT YOU?!"

"Stop yelling!" The male voice on the other line answered back. "It's not Tifa, it's Reeve! Where the heck have you been Cloud? I've been reaching you but couldn-"

"Tifa! Do you know where she is?!" Cloud asked frantically with wild eyes.

"She's in Costa del sol! She's undercover with Vincent, it was supposed to be you who's with her right now but we couldn't reach you."

"What do you mean UNDERCOVER?"

"I SAID STOP YELLING!"

"...You yelled this time." Cloud said flatly, Reeve sighed.

"Tifa and Vincent are undercover in Costa del sol to find out what's going on with the disappearances there and if it had something to do with the man with Mako eyes who attacked Yuffie..." Reeve paused. "And they are posing as a newlywed couple, which was supposed to be you and her." Reeve said with a large evil grin on his face, he knew and noticed Cloud's affection for the martial artist recently and he wanted to tease the blond a little.

"...Oh."

Oh...

Oh.

Wait...

What?

WHAT?!

"WHAT?!"

Reeve covered his mouth piece and started fits of silent laughter.
