CHAPTER 13
Cloud was watching a drama in the television with Denzel when Vincent sat beside him and looked at him. He also looked at Vincent, "What's wrong?"
"Tell me more about Pifa," he blinked his eyes many times. "Actually, it's TIFA, not Pifa," said Cloud.
"Tell me more about her," he curved his lips like cat's mouth.
He scratched his head and sighed, "I don't know anything about her except her name, house and number."
"YOU KNOW HER HOUSE AND NUMBER!?" Vincent and Denzel shouted in unison.
Cloud covered his ears and nodded, "I walked her home and she texted me that time. That's why I knew…"
"GIVE ME HER NUMBER!" Vincent's eyes got widen and pulled out his phone. Cloud coughed, "Why should I? Go and ask her number personally," he stood up and went to his bedroom.
"Aish! Cloud you're so selfish!" he crossed his arms.
Denzel chuckled, "It's not like that, Vince. But… Giving someone's number without that person's permission is not nice."
"Fine! I'll find that girl and get her number!" he pouted. Denzel just laughed.
In his room, Cloud threw his phone on his bed and got his iPod. He placed earphones on his ears and played a song. He then started singing with his eyes were closed.
Yuffie was going to the bar when she spotted a shirt that looks familiar. She looked closely at it, 'I've seen this before…' she thought. Then, she realized it was the shirt that Vincent wore yesterday. She hurriedly went inside the store and looked at the shirt's price, "Are you kidding me!?" her eyes rounded. Everybody looked at her. She pouted and bowed her head.
"Why is this so expensive? It's so simple…" she looked at her wallet, "I guess I can't buy that bag I wanna today…" she sighed and went to the counter along with the shirt.
She went outside the store and scratched her head, "In the first place, Yuffie Kisaragi, why did you buy this shirt?" she asked herself while walking, "I mean… Are you sure that you, two, will meet again?" she sighed. She stopped in front of a store and stare intently at a bluish bag, "I promise, I'll definitely buy you next month…" she walked away while pouting.
After a long walked, she finally reached the bar.
"Your boyfriend is looking for you…" her co-waitress said to her.
"Huh? Boyfriend?" her eyebrows met. Her co-waitress pointed at her "boyfriend". Yuffie looked where she pointed and saw a guy sitting at the counter.
She came closer to the guy. Right before she could tap his shoulder, the guy faced him.
"I knew it was you," she giggled. "Hey…" Rufus smiled at her.
"So… Why are you here?" she went inside the counter. "I just want to thank you personally for yesterday…" he smiled again.
"Did I make you happy, huh?"
"Yeah," he chuckled, "Thank you so much." He held her hand and put a chocolate bar on her palm.
"Chocolate! Rufus, thank you so much!" she hugged him. He hugged her back, "You're always welcome…"
She pulled back, "Every weekend, I, together with Tifa, have a part-time job near here. The cafe shop, have you noticed it?"
He tried to think of it, "Ah, that cafe shop known as Seventh Heaven?"
"Yes, that's it. So… If you want to see Tifa tomorrow, you can go there."
He nodded, "Alright," he pinched her right cheek, "I'll tell to the other guys to visit that shop tomorrow."
"Hm? Other guys?"
"Yeah. I am with them when I went here last time. Don't you remember them?"
"No… I mean, of course I remember them," she giggled and stopped after a few seconds, "Wait!"
"What is it?"
She thought of Vincent, "What is the name of the tallest guy?"
"Tallest guy? Oh… You mean, Vincent. What's wrong with him?"
"Vincent…" she whispered. She got a pen inside her bag; wrote something on a sticky note and put it on the paper bag, "Can you give this to him?" she handed the paper bag to Rufus.
"Woah. A gift for him?"
"Just give it to him," she pouted. He just nodded and chuckled.
"I'm back," Rufus went inside the house.
"You did see her again, didn't you?" Reno tapped his right foot and crossed his arms.
"Huh? No…" he smiled and tapped his shoulder, "Where is Vincent, by the way?"
"I'm here!" Vincent got up from the sofa, "What's up?"
"Someone wants to give this to you," he gave the paper bag to him.
"From?" he looked at it.
Rufus sat beside him and just smiled.
"Vince, you have a secret admirer!" Reno said and came closer to him. "It's not a surprise anymore," Vincent grinned.
Reno made a face, "What?"
Vincent opened the paper bag and pulled the shirt up. "Hey! That's your shirt, right?" Denzel pointed out.
He slowly nodded and looked at Rufus, "Who gave this?"
"A girl…" he answered.
"A small girl with a short hair?"
He nodded, "Do you know her?"
"We just bumped each other yesterday. Her bubble tea was poured on my shirt… That shirt is like this. Do you remember it? It's my favourite shirt!"
Rufus looked at the shirt, "Ah… It's expensive, right?"
"Very expensive…" Reno was the one who answered.
"That tiny girl… She shouldn't do this thing," he scratched his head.
"Hey, maybe the girl likes you?" Reno teased him. Everybody started teasing him.
"Stop it!" Vincent turned red. All of them just laughed at him.
