"Cloud..."
"Just five more minutes mum..."
"Cloud..."
"I don't want to go to school..."
"CLOUD! PLANET TO CLOUD!" Cloud bolted up while frantically looking around with his eyes glazed over.
"NO PLEASE I DIDN'T DO IT!" He yelled with his hands held up in surrender. Tifa held her breath before she started laughing, she was laughing so hard that she fell over to he floor. Cloud's mouth and eyes were were open as he stared at the evil woman guffawing at his expense.
"What... The fuck..." Was all he could say.
"You have a magazine cover shoot in two hours, your highness..." Tifa said while still laughing. "Wakey wakey." She started to stand up. Cloud cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment.
"Can't you wake me up like a fucking human being?! Why do you need to shout everytime?!"
"Because it's hard to freaking wake you up that's why!"
They have been working together for two weeks and it had become a habit that Tifa would wake him up every morning by yelling at him or throwing things at him.
"Fuck... I don't know what's worse, the way you wake me up or seeing that ugly face everytime I open my eyes." Cloud said while he rubbed his face. "Serve me breakfast now!" He commanded while Tifa was walking away.
"Already served, you asshole." She said but she only said the last two words to herself, but she couldn't help her smirk at what just happened. Cloud stared at her retreating form while his lips was pursed. The truth was, he was looking forward to breakfast everytime, but he won't ever admit that he loved Tifa's cooking. He hopped out of bed to get ready for the day.
"Give me more eggs and hurry up!" He said as he handed Tifa his plate, the brunette obliged and added more fruit for him as well. He started eating like a maniac again and Tifa knew how much he liked her cooking but decided to ignore it. Tifa was washing the utensils she used for cooking when he placed his plate on the sink, the brunette raised an eyebrow for finishing his food too fast.
"What? I'm starving it's not like I liked your cooking, don't flatter yourself!" He said defensively while walking away, Tifa smirked while she continued to wash.
"Whatever." She said, Cloud looked back slightly then he smirked when he continued walking away.
"Zack! This is horrible!" Coco Caspar, a famous fashion designer exclaimed on the other side of the line. "Allegra! She's got the chicken pox!"
"What? Chicken pox?!" Zack said while he talked on his phone.
"Everyone else is booked, the show is in a week, I need to get a replacement as soon as possible, it's the finale and that piece is the best in the collection!" Zack didn't speak for while and waited for the designer to speak again. "I need angelic but fierce for the piece, it is essential!"
"Okay... OKay... Calm dow-" Zack's eyes widened then he grinned big before he spoke. "I have someone."
"You do?!"
"I'll take her to you as soon as I get a hold of her."
"Great! You are a life savior Zacky! Thank you thank you!"
"Sure." The Zack flipped his phone shut, smiling as he started to walk away and head to the network.
Tifa couldn't help but appreciate Cloud's perfection as he posed for the magazine cover he was shooting, he was shirtless and water was dripping on his hair, face and torso, he looked really sexy as he ran his hands through his hair backwards with his eyes closed and his lips slightly parted, women in the studio were either squealing or fainting, earning perplexed looks from Tifa, if she hadn't known what kind of asshole he was, she would have been the same, but she couldn't deny how hot he looked.
"Okay, great Cloud, that's all for today, great work as always." The photographer said while he looked at his masterpiece, a woman approached Cloud to give him a towel while Tifa started scanning Cloud's schedule for the next day.
"Get me coffee, NOW." Cloud said while he sat back on his chair beside Tifa. The brunette looked up at him with a bored look then she slightly bowed her head.
"Sure, my lord." She said before she turned around to get his demand. Cloud did his magazine interview afterwards, the brunette had been sneering at how much he was acting all sweet and innocent as he answered his questions.
Lying pretentious bastard. Tifa thought everytime. Then she would smirk. Cloud's phone rang and she saw that it was his mother calling so she immediately answered it.
"Hey Simone." Tifa answered with a smile.
"Tifa, darling, where is my son?"
"He's still doing an interview for a magazine."
"That ungrateful son of my mine haven't called me in a week!"
"He's just really busy." Busy being an asshole.
"I know sweetie, can you tell him to call me after his interview?"
"Of course Simone."
"Thank you sweetheart, take care now alright?"
"You too."
"Bye." Then there was a click. That prick won't even give time for his mom... She thought then she smiled sadly. Must be nice to have a mom who worries for you like that...
"Hey, Trollie, who was that?" Tifa jumped when she realized that Cloud was already beside her.
"That was your mother, she told me that you should call her after your interview."
"Yeah I'll call later." He said nonchalantly while he drank his water bottle. Tifa sneered at him.
"You should give her time, she really misses you."
"Yeah yeah, whatever."
"Ugh... You are really an asshole, you know that?"
"Only to you and your ugly face."
"Shut up Strife." Tifa said while she shoved his sandwich to his chest. Cloud gave her a lopsided grin to piss her off but it didn't work.
"You look pathetic." She said. Cloud pinched her cheek and pulled it painfully. "OW OW OW OW OW!"
"Call me pathetic again or I'll murder you, I'm sure no one will miss you."
"Whatever." Tifa said "Fucking prick." She muttered under her breath.
"What was that?" Cloud asked. Tifa gave him a sweet but fake smile.
"Nothing."
Tifa was walking at the halls of Shinra after she was done reporting to Tseng, then she will get Cloud's dry cleaning afterwards.
"I'm so tired..." She whispered with a sigh, she removed her glasses to wipe them with her white T-shirt then she put them back on, then she yelped when someone grabbed her from behind and started dragging her away.
"What the...! HEY!" The next thing she knew, she was inside a dressing room that doesn't belong to Cloud. She hastily turned around to look at her her offender and she gasped when she saw Zack Fair holding both his hands up in surrender. "Zack?!"
"Hey! Tifa!" He said with a handsome smile. Tifa couldn't help but shudder.
He remembered my name?!
"Hey! Hi! Ummm... What can... I do for you? And where are we?"
"My dressing room."
"Oh... And what are we doing here-OH!" She yelped when Zack went behind to place his hands on her waist, then he pulled her shirt backwards then looked at her reflection in the mirror, he gasped when he saw her sexy figure under the suddenly fitted shirt. He suddenly fished out his phone and he started dialing.
"I found her." He said with a huge grin on his face. Tifa gave him a confused look then she jumped when the door suddenly opened with a bang.
"Now where is my angel-" Coco Caspar gasped when she saw the disaster woman called Tifa. "This is the girl you were talking about Zacky?!"
"Yes." Zack said while he grinned.
"But... But...!"
"Hold on." Zack said then he suddenly removed Tifa's ponytail and her glasses, making her squint her eyes.
"Z-Zack?!" Tifa exclaimed. Then she gasped when Zack started ripping the lower part of her white T-shirt to reveal very toned stomach and perfect hips that were suddenly materialized with just a small move. Tifa shrieked then she placed her arms on her torso.
AM I GETTING RAPED?!
She tried to cover herself more but Coco had already seen it. The designer gasped while he held out his hands towards the sky.
"This is... This is perfect! Zack! Where did you get this fine woman?!" He said while he studied Tifa, her long hair was messy but the way that it framed her beautiful and angelic face was the image he was looking for. Tifa still hid her torso with her eyes squinted because of her terrible eyesight.
"Z-Zack... What is going on-"
"You, Miss, are going to work for me in a week, Zack will be your mentor until then." Coco said.
"Excuse me, but who are you? And why am I being exposed like this?! And what is this work you're talking about?!" She asked the blurred face of the man. Is he a pimp?! Am I getting sold?!
"She can't see you." Zack said with an amused look.
"Oh, give her the glasses for now, we'll give her contacts later." Coco said. Zack placed Tifa's glasses back to her face. She blinked before she looked at the balding man in front of her.
"Who are you sir?"
"Oh!" The man started laughing forcefully, kind of offended that he was not recognized but he blamed Tifa's poor fashion sense.
"I'm Coco Caspar my dear, I'm a fashion designer and I'm here to tell you that you will be walking my final piece in my show." Coco said. Tifa gave him a confused look.
"What? I don't understan-"
"You will be walking in the runway for his gown collection in a week. I will teach you how to walk until then." Zack said with a huge grin. Tifa stared at him with a blank look for a minute, before she processed what he had just said.
"WHAT?!" Zack and Coco started laughing at how wide her mouth was at the revelation.
