Hey guys! Just took a short break cause I was thinking of what this chapter will be about. So, chapter 3 is coming in!
Previously on Meeting You...
"By the way Light," Fang started. "Were you invited to Stella's engagement party?"
"Yeah," Lightning nodded. "Serah informed me right away."
"Wow," Fang shook her head, impressed. "Your sister would make a pretty good secretary. If not, an assistant."
Lightning smiled at that. "Yes, she would."
Lightning looked at her watch and frowned. It was already 5:10 pm. Damn, time was such a bitch.
"Fang, Vanille, I gotta go." Lightning said, getting up from her seat. "I'll meet you at the party, okay?"
"Sure do, Light!" Vanille responded for both of them, waving her hand at Lightning who also waved back.
Now...
After saying Vanille and Fang said their goodbyes to Lightning, she was now back on the road. Her mind was now refreshed and free of stress.
Time Shift
Lightning had parked her car on the garage of their house. Just then, Serah went out and ran to her sister.
"Light!" Serah cried, immediately wrapping her arms around her older sister. Lightning was slightly surprised, but she reciprocated.
"Hey Serah, how are you doing?" Lightning asked, pulling away from the hug.
Serah giggled. "Oh sis, I should be the one asking that! But... I'm fine. You?"
Lightning sighed a bit. "Fine, I guess."
"Are you hungry?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Come on in."
Serah beckoned her sister to follow her. Plus, it was getting chilly outside.
Once Lightning stepped in, warm air engulfed her. She sighed, relieved. Then she sniffed the air, smelling the newly-cooked food Serah prepared.
"Did you cook steak?" Lightning questioned, cocking an eyebrow.
Serah nodded. "Yeah. You like steak, don't you?"
"Mhm."
Serah and Lightning both pulled out the chairs from under the table and started eating. Once they were done, Serah collected the plates and started to wash them. Lightning, on the other hand, got a toothpick and started picking for leftover steak.
"So Light," Serah started, breaking the silence between them. "How are you and your boyfriend?"
Hearing the last sentence, Lightning swore she heard her heart stop. Dammit, not this again. She thought.
"Light?"
Lightning mentally debated on whether she should tell Serah or not.
If I tell Serah, she'll just set me up on another date! But if I don't, she'll just keep on asking me over and over again. Sighing, Lightning chose 'tell'. With a deep breath, she said, "We broke up."
Her voice was emotionless, same with her facial expression. She didn't care about that cheating son-of-a-bitch bastard anymore.
As Lightning expected, Serah asked again, "Why?"
"Because he cheated on me, Serah. He cheated on me."
Lightning looked back at Serah, who lost her cheerful expression. Instead, she was now frowning. She shook her head and said, "I knew it. I should've followed my gut."
"What do you mean?" Lightning stood up, confused.
Serah shook her head and looked at Lightning in the eye, saying, "Sorry, Light."
"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything."
"Well," Serah turned her back to her sister. "I was the one who set you up with that... Wacko. But when I did so, my gut was telling me that this would happen sooner or later..."
She faced Light again. "That he would cheat on you."
Serah only looked down, face was downcast.
Lightning then pulled her in a hug, rubbing her back reassuringly, saying, "It's okay, Serah. I... I guess it wasn't my time yet."
Serah looked up at her, perplexed. "What do you mean?"
Lightning chuckled. "Serah, what I meant to say was that... It's just, not my time yet to be with someone. But if I'm patient, the right one will come."
"Oh. I guess you're right."
Lightning smiled at her sister. She looked at the clock and saw that it was almost seven.
"Crap..." Lightning muttered. She looked at Serah and said, "Serah, go to sleep now."
Serah nodded, yawning. She walked to the stairs but she stopped abruptly, looking at Light. "Light?"
"Yes?" Lightning replied, facing her.
"What about you? Aren't you gonna sleep?"
Lightning shook her head. "Ah... No. I still have some paperwork to finish. Damn Cid, he keeps on giving me these little pieces of shit."
"Oh, okay. Good night, Light!"
"Night."
Serah retreated up the stairs, not a sound was heard.
Lightning then headed to her small office, scowling.
Damn you Cid and your paperworks. If you give me a lot one more time, I swear to Etro I'll break your fucking nose. She thought, hissing under her breath.
Okay, another chapter done! The first appearance of the innocent, Serah Farron!
Noctis: When will I appear, Diana?"
Ace from Type-0: Shut up, Noctis!
(Noctis and Ace start fighting.)
Me: *sigh*
Sorry if Noctipoo still hasn't appeared. I just thought that I'd put in a sisterly moment between Light and Serah so... Don't burn me! Please! XD
You know what to do! Review please!
