Chapter 4: A Simple Reconciliation Wouldn't Hurt That Much.
While I am not sure if it's the dark weather that is lurking the whole town that was making me shiver, I still climbed down the stairs to finish whatever it is waiting for me there. I know I sound whatever-comes-type-of-person, but really I honestly don't care. It just bothers me why he is acting that way. We are all good and okay last second and then we're back to being, 'Hey, don't talk to me because I'm mad at you for no reason at all'. I know I know it is my fault, really, that it happened but sure I say my sorry. Isn't that enough? Without further much ado, I cleaned up the plates and finished doing all of it in no time. I prepared to go upstairs and was ready to leap on my bed not before Cloud blocked my way.
"Cloud," I subconsciously blurted out. "Umm, I just finished washing the dishes. No need to worry."
"Oh, that. I should be the one-"
"Uh-uh, no I should be the one blah blah whatever. What's done is done. So…if you wouldn't mind, I need to go upstairs. And sleep, yey!" I said faking my enthusiasm.
"Yeah maybe, but Tifa-"
"Oh, look what time it is my brother, time to sleep happily. Goodbye and goodnight brother!" I cut him off again. I do not really know why I kept on cutting him off, but seriously it somehow lighted off the weight on my shoulder. Nevertheless, I pushed him gently out off the way and proceed to whatever it is I am planning. And I really don't know what it is. Told you, this whatever-comes-type-of-person thingy is starting to be my real thing.
"Tifa!" He abruptly stopped me by grabbing my elbow. "Tifa, look. I didn't mean to be that upset and be that hard on you. I-I, I am just worried about you okay? I'm sorry if I over reacted in ways." He finished with a sigh. I never expected Cloud to give up easily with that avoiding thing, and it somehow- not just somehow, it actually worked. I opened my mouth to say something but suddenly I couldn't manage to say a thing, so I just closed it again and managed a nod. I sneak a peak at him and much to my shock found him looking at me with such wide eyes. Oh my G! Is something wrong with my face? Do I, unknowingly, transform into some kind of monster in a span of seconds?
Do I look like Shrek?
Voldemort?
Or the human-eating monster in Pan's Labyrinth? Ewe. No, please.
Then to confirm what I don't want to confirm, I looked at my hands and arms to see if I 'transformed'. But look at what I have found out, I, Tifa Lockheart is happy to say that I'm still human. So why is he looking at me with such surprise?
"What?" I finally blurt out.
Cloud seemed to wake up from whatever state he was from and managed to talk, "That's all you're going to say?"
"What? If all I'm going to say after that 'staring' contest is 'what' and you're asking me that 'what' is all I'm going to say, then maybe."
"No-no, that's not 'what' I meant by the question, Teef."
"Ooh. And now we're back to nickname, Clowy. Ha!"
Cloud chuckled a bit at my remark. "Don't act as if we fight for centuries."
I crossed my arm. "Hey Clowy. Seconds of being in a fight with you is like ages for me! You talking ice cream." I muttered under my breath but I made sure he still hears it especially the last words.
"Don't call my hair ice cream, it's just the way it is!" He protested.
"Then it is a naturally born ice cream-look. Be thankful for that, Clowy, it's all-natural." I said and imitated the tone of those ladies in the commercial saying 'hey viewers use this shampoo for it is all natural, voila!'. I watched as his expression changed at my remark, from being happy to a playful one. Oh no, I don't like this side of him. It will be the end of the world holy chocolate-vegetables!
"Clowy, I'm warning you. Do not do whatever you think you are going to do,"
"Oh no, I don't think I can hear what you're saying, my sister Tifa." He said as he goes near me with an obvious glint of playfulness on his eyes. Oh God of broccoli, I don't like where this is going!
"Holy violet broccolis!" I screamed before I ran away from cloud that is obviously enjoying this. I don't know if I'll be alive after this, but you sure could say now that I am officially a number one fan of vegetables-especially, broccolis! I sure want to still be eating them. Clowy!
But at least on the other note,
We're okay now!
Yipes!
"Don't ruin my self-talking, Clowy!"
