Ten

Tifa's mouth was so wide open and she didn't know if she should answer the door or not, the fuming blond behind it was the last thing she needed that night, and the fact that Zack was there was not a good thing either.

WHAT AM I GOING TO D-

"Tifa? Who's in there?" Yuffie slowly looked over her shoulder with a huge nervous smile that Yuffie ended up spitting her drink from the look on her face.

"It's Cloud...!" She whisper yelled, pure horror etched on her face. Yuffie's mouth formed a perfect 'o' while Zack mouth was wide open, Vincent merely raised an eyebrow. Tifa straightened up and she jumped when there was another loud knock on the door.

"Hey Trollie open up!" She could hear him yelling at the other side, she became worried that he might cause a scene so she opened the door immediately, but as soon as she did, Cloud's furious face immediately faded and it was replaced by a very fake, sweet smile which made Tifa gulp loudly.

"Hey... Cloud... What brings you here?" She said in a shaky voice before laughing nervously. The fact that she didn't yell or curse at him was already indicating that she was guilty about something.

"What took you so long to get the door? Oh, I was just dropping by to check on my dear assistant and oh!" He said with that still fake smile. Tifa couldn't take her eyes off his messy hair. "You have guests." He said in a fake happy tone with that stil fake happy smile making Tifa let out another nervous laugh. "Is that Zack Fair? I didn't know you were extremely close that he's coming to your house."

"Y-Yeah... Well..."

"Well, aren't you going to invite me in so I can join your little party? My dear assistant?" He asked and his fake and sweet smile grew even bigger that it made Tifa shudder.

"O-Of course... Come in Cloud." She side stepped so he can come in and he shoved a box on Tifa stomach emitting an 'oomf' sound from her.

"What is thi-" She stopped talking and her mouth slackened when she identified the box. It was the cake that Cloud bought with him when they were in one his photoshoots and Tifa loved it so much she ended up eating half of it.

Tifa didn't stop shoving a forkful of the cake into her mouth while she moaned in delight, Cloud stopped midair in eating his portion to look at Tifa with a perplexed look.

"What the hell, STOP EATING LIKE A FUCKING PIG!" He yelled which made Tifa shriek.

"What?! It's so good and I don't think I'll be able to eat something as expensive as this again! I'd rather pays my bills than buy this! So I'm savoring the moment! Don't be a killjoy!" She said then she started eating along with her moans of delight again, she was so busy that she didn't see the smirk that was plastered across Cloud's face as he watched her eat.

Tifa smiled as she looked down at the box before she closed the door gently.

"Hey Cloud! What's up!" Zack said as he give the blond a man hug who didn't return it and only grunted in response.

"Sorry to crash your party." Cloud said in gritted teeth, irritation evident in his voice. Zack laughed before his eyes landed on the blond's hair.

"What's wrong with your hair? it's everywhere man!" Zack said before Cloud started narrowing his eyes.

Cloud was waiting in his car that was hidden outside Tifa's apartments complex when a car pulled over in front of the building, minutes later, Zack Fair and Vincent Valentine emerged from it and when they were making their way inside, that 's when Cloud started pounding his steering wheel angrily while he yelled on top of his lungs.

"WHY AM I ACTING THIS WAY OVER HER?! WHAT IS THIS I'M FEELING IN MY CHEST?! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING INSIDE MY HEAD?!" He started screaming while he furiously ran his hands through his hair then he started pounding his steering wheel again but he hit the horn repeatedly instead, he heard a few cars' alarm going off after that.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" He heard someone yell outside so he hurriedly drove out of the place with a sheepish grimace in his face.

"The wind blowing outside was..." He said with a blank look. Everyone raised an eyebrow at his statement.

"O...kay...?" Zack said.

"Why don't you all take a seat so we can eat alright?" Tifa said while she carried the cake to her kitchen. But she whispered something on Cloud's ear when she walked past him.

"Thanks for the cake Cloud, you remembered." She said, Cloud's eyes widened slightly before he looked down on her face. He blushed before he looked away.

"Yeah, whatever." He said, Tifa smirked before she went on her way.

Dinner went great, much to Tifa's relief, though Cloud had been glaring at Zack the whole time everytime he would touch Tifa in any way. Yuffie on the other hand had been busy staring at Vincent, who was busy staring at Tifa, and Tifa was busy herself in staring at Cloud, who was glaring at Zack, who was staring at her.

I didn't know that we have a freaking staring contest. She thought. She decided to occupy herself by cutting the cake instead.

"I'm gonna cut the cake." She said deadpanned as she stood up. Cloud stood up as well.

"I'll help."

"Oh no, you don't need t-"

"I'll. Help." Cloud said again in gritted teeth. Tifa shrugged before she turned around with Cloud following behind her. Once they were in the kitchen, they were standing side by side with Cloud placing some saucers on the counter top and Tifa was unpacking the cake.

"Oh... This looks yummy! Thank you Cloud." She said as she set aside the box, Cloud only grunted in response.

"What the hell are you doing with Zack?" He suddenly asked quietly that only her could hear and he saw how she flinched.

"I uhhh... We're just friends Cloud."

"Oh really? Since when are you two so close like this that he goes over to your house?" Cloud asked irritably, Tifa looked at him in disbelief.

"Why are you asking questions like that? I'm your assistant but it doesn't mean you can control everything going on with my life!" She hissed which made Cloud release a loud sigh before he pounded the counter top with his hand.

"I DON'-" He stopped to take a deep breath, then he leaned on the counter top with both his hands while he looked down. Tifa stared at him, utterly confused at the way he was acting.

"What is going on with you Cl-"

"I don't want you to spend your time with any other guy." He suddenly said which totally shocked the brunette, she opened her mouth to speak but she couldn't. Cloud shook his head before he pushed himself up then he turned around to leaned his lower back on the counter top instead, he looked up, as if thinking of what to say then he closed his eyes in frustration.

"Cloud? What... What do you mean-"

"I don't want to see you with any other guy, other than me." He said and this time, he told her that while his brilliant blue orbs looked straight into her ruby ones. Tifa stared at him with a pained expression, still confused. But she couldn't help but suddenly admire how handsome he looked, he was really a perfect being, physically anyway, and she felt herself melting under his intense gaze.

"Cloud..." Was all she could say.

"You know what, forget it, do whatever you want, I don't care." He said before he went out of the kitchen, leaving a very confused Tifa who was holding her hand to her chest, attempting to calm down her raging heart.
