Nine
A/N: First appearance of Vincent Valentine, please take note that his hair here is short, the same look he had when he was still a sexy little turk mmmm, I absolutely love that look.
Cloud didn't have any work for the day so he decided to stay home, he had called Tifa to keep him company and so they can go through his schedule for the next day. He had been watching Tifa make lunch, not really taking his eyes off her. He had noticed a little improvement on her wardrobe. She wore a grey off shoulder long sleeved shirt, some fitted jumper shorts that ends above her knees and some white sneakers, her shiny hair had been done in a loose bun with some bangs framing her face, though her glasses were still the same, she looked different and he couldn't deny that she was getting cuter.
"Why the hell are you wearing that?" He suddenly asked with an irritated tone which made Tifa look at him in disbelief.
"What? You're questioning my clothes again and why?" She asked with the same irritation.
"Because it looks... Normal." He said, Tifa raised an eyebrow.
"Excuse me for being normal then." She said, Cloud sunk further into his chair with his arms crossed in front of him. He narrowed his eyes at her and he couldn't help but notice how her shorts was showing off some pretty nice behind. He sighed with a sneer then he rubbed his face. The image of the model walking down the runway came flashing back in his mind and he was pissed.
"What's taking you so long to cook that?!" He asked making Tifa chop her onions harder and faster in frustration.
The blonde super model was making his way towards his dressing room when he heard a familiar voice, he stopped on his tracks around the corner to listen to Zack Fair and it sounded like he was talking on the phone.
"Okay... Where are you right now... Oh... Okay, can you give me your address then?... Unit 549 Phoenix Building right across Seventh heaven bar, got it... I'll see you later..."
Cloud's eyes widened and shock was written all over his handsome face from what he just heard.
That was... That was Tifa's address! He decided to show himself to the actor while he cleared his throat loudly. Zack looked back over his shoulder then he smiled at the blond model.
"Hey, Cloud! What's up man?" He said as he faced him. "How have you been taking care of my Tifa?"
MY TIFA?!
"Since when was she yours, Zack?" Cloud asked with a frown. Zack threw his head back to laugh making the blond roll his eyes.
"I'm just messing with you. See you later!" Zack started jogging away with Cloud following him with his narrowed eyes.
I'LL KILL THAT BASTARD!
Zack slid out of his car in front of Tifa's apartment building, another person got out of the passenger seat then looked up the building.
"Come on Vince, this is it." Zack said while his companion only grunted in response. They both went inside the building and went straight for the elevator. They were quiet the whole ride and when they reached the fifth floor, Zack looked around to find Tifa's door and when he did, he smiled brightly then he started knocking. Minutes later, they heard the locks and bolts being undone and the door opened with a beaming Tifa behind it.
"Hey! Welcome. Oh, who's your friend?" Tifa asked as her eyes landed on the very good looking raven haired man on behind Zack, her breath hitch as she stared at him.
He looks like a prince! An extremely hot and sexy prince!
Indeed he does, especially with the way his semi messy raven hair framed his face, the left side of his hair was fuller that it was almost covering his crimson eye in a sexy way.
"Oh, this is Vincent, he's also a model, I hope you don't mind me bringing him, sorry, I should have told you." Zack said while scratching the back of his head. Tifa shook her head with a smile.
"Of course not! The more the merrier. Come in, come in!" She piped before she stepped aside. The male models entered her apartment while they both looked around, Tifa couldn't help but notice how good Vincent's nape looked with his hair.
What the heck is wrong with me, crushing on someone's nape?!
"Not bad, your place is so cute, just like you." Zack said with a smile making Tifa raise an eyebrow.
"Whatever Zack, Oh, by the way, I'm Tifa, nice to meet you Vincent." She held out her hand to the model who took it with a shake.
"Nice to meet you too." He said with his husky and sexy voice. Tifa laughed nervously on her mind.
Oh my... Why is he so good looking? She noticed that Vincent didn't let go of her hand immediately which earned him a questioning look.
"Sorry." He said as he pulled back his hand like he was burned. Zack looked at the two then he smirked.
"Sorry about that, but Vince here is a sucker for cute girls with big nerdy glasses." He said and Tifa noticed how Vincent's eyes widened and his cheeks suddenly reddened before he looked away.
"D-Don't be ridiculous." He said, Zack beamed at the way he stuttered while Tifa pressed her lips together with an amused look.
If that's true... Wait! First of, I'm not cute because according to my beautiful and wonderful boss, I'm ugly as fuck and a walking fashion disaster, and second, my bestfriend called me Dorkoid, and third, I kissed Zack! But we're not in a relationship at all. So what does it mean then? The kiss meant nothing or do we-
"Tifa!" Zack snapped his fingers in front of her face making her jump. "You alright? Kind of lost you back there." He said with a smirk. Tifa gave him a huge, sheepish smile.
"Sorry." She said, smile not leaving her face. Vincent couldn't help but chuckle with an amused expression because of her face while Zack was laughing.
"Okay. But that's what I like about you, being such a weirdo." Zack said.
"Uhhh... Thanks?" Tifa said, unsure if she should be flattered or insulted. Zack was about to speak again when his phone rang. He fished it out of his pocket to flip it open and his face fell when he saw the name on the screen. "Ummm... Hold on, I... I'm just going to take this." He said. Tifa furrowed her brows before she shrugged. Zack turned around to out the door, gently closing it behind him. Tifa looked back up at Vincent with another smile.
"Why don't you sit down? Do you want something to drink? I have soda, juice, water..."
"I'll have soda, if that's okay." He said. Tifa smiled with a nod before she turned around to get him his drink. Vincent hid his blush by covering the lower part of his face.
"Hey Tifa, I found this in front of your door." Zack said as he went back inside, following behind him was a snorting Yuffie.
"Oh yeah, I asked her to come over too." Tifa said. Zack looked down on Yuffie before he held out his hand.
"Hi! I'm Zack, nice to meet you." He said, Yuffie gave him a sheepish smile before she shook his hand.
"I'm Yuffie. Dorkoid's bestfriend-"
"Stop calling me Dorkoid!"
"-and her life saver, I was the one who found her selling crack on the streets-"
"I don't sell crack! Stop telling lies!"
"-and I brought her here so she can have a brighter future, Nice to meet you too. You look so handsome in person." She said before she let go of his hand. Zack started laughing again while Vincent was smirking.
"Awww... Thanks Yuffie, you girls are hilarious! Oh man... Oh! And this is my best bud, Vincent Valentine." He gestured for the sexy raven haired man on the table who briefly waved at her. Yuffie stared at him, thunderstruck. Tifa noticed how her bestfriend was looking at the model and her face fell.
Great, so much for my infatuation. She could already hear something shattering like a mirror and she was sure it was her fragile heart. Goddammit!
Just then, there was a knock on the door, Tifa looked up after she placed Zack and Vincent's drink on the table and she started to go towards her door.
"You expecting anybody else?" Zack asked.
"No, no one else." She said, she peaked at her peephole and she loudly gasped whe she saw the person standing outside. His blond hair was all over the place and his blue eyes were actually looking straight into her hidden ones, obviously furious about something.
WHAT IN THE WORLD?!
