The song that Cloud will be singing in this chapter is from The spinners - I don't want to lose you.
Twenty seven
Tifa flipped the channels with a bored look on her face and all she could see on news programs everywhere, entertainment news or not, was about 'Kali' and her real identity.
"How about that for a real case of ugly duckling that transformed into a swan?"
"Drastic change? Just how far are we willing to go?"
"A great shocker was revealed this afternoon when Cloud's Strife's fiancee turned out to be the same person as the model 'Kali'." Says a talkshow host.
"Is that really a shocker?"
"Yes well, you can see how she looked like before." They show a disastrous photo of Tifa on the screen.
She turned off the television with the still bored look on her face.
What the hell is wrong with you people?!
Cloud lifted his face to meet the warm water coming out of the shower head, just enjoying the feel of the water colliding with his skin. He still felt pissed off about Allegra and her stunt as well as the media's constant insults towards Tifa but overall happy when he broke the news about Kali, atleast he wouldn't have to deal with her admirers and stalkers anymore. He twisted the knob to turn the water off before he slid out of the shower to wrap a towel around his lower half. He went out of the door only to have his mouth open wide at an alarming rate when he saw Tifa, standing there, wearing a very sheer nightgown that actually hid nothing at all. She was braless and only her panties did the covering and nothing else. He whimpered like a puppy when she started walking very slowly towards him, her eyes dark and predatory. He started breathing heavily when he was suddenly pressed on the door of the bathroom with her body pressed hard against him.
"I told you this afternoon..." She purred while she trailed her finger on his lean chest. "That it's your lucky day, didn't I?" Cloud swallowed thickly before he spoke, or atleast tried to.
"Ye... Y-Ye... Y-y-y-y-ye... Ye..." He couldn't even finish the single word he was trying to utter. He gasped when Tifa held both his arm then she banged him on the wall, hard. "AYAY!" Tifa started laughing seductively with her head thrown back. Who are you and what have you done to my Tifa?!
"Guess what, that luck starts now..." She whispered on his ear before she bit his earlobe. Cloud cleared his throat nervously.
"J-j-j-j-just whatdoyoumean-" He yelped when Tifa suddenly pulled him off the door to be forcefully pushed towards the bed.
"HOLY FUCKING MACARONI AND CHEESE!-OOMF!" He yelled when Tifa pushed him then sat on him a little to hard in the pelvic area.
That night, he was dominated like a helpless slave in chains, screaming his temptress' name.
The fashion week finished off quickly and Tifa had been using her real name ever since the 'coming out' incident happened. But 'Kali' took over her appearance during work days but on regular days, she stayed as Tifa because Cloud told her he liked the real her more than the glamorous one.
A few weeks after, Emilia contacted Cloud and told him that Damien wanted to visit his big brother because of the promise Cloud gave him, and he was more the willing to have his baby brother for a day. Both him and his fiancee were waiting on the couch living room for the boy to arrive with his mother, she was going to pick him up after the day was done while she stayed with Claudia for a while, and the woman was glad for the company.
"I'm so excited! I've never been to the Gold saucer!" Tifa piped while she rubbed her hands together. Cloud chuckled then kissed her cheek lovingly.
"I'm sure both of you will have a lot of fun." Just then, the doorbell rang. Tifa squealed then she jumped up to open the door, Cloud slapped her buttocks approvingly which made her yelp when she did. She hurriedly opened the door to greet Emilia and Damien, who was timidly looking up at her.
"Hi! Welcome! Come in! Come in!" She side stepped to let them in.
"Hi Tifa." Emilia greeted. "Say hi Damien."
"Hi..." The boy said shyly. Tifa giggled before she patted his head.
"We're going to have lots of fun today sport." She said.
"Hello Emilia." Cloud greeted as he made his way towards them.
"Hi Cloud, thank you for having us." She said, Cloud nodded before he looked down at his brother, he knelt down to his height to pat his head.
"You ready to go?" He asked the boy, who nodded his head but didn't speak. Cloud stood up and that's when Emilia said goodbye so they can go.
The drive towards the amusement park was uneventful, atleast for Cloud, who was grimacing the entire time while Tifa kept singing along, loudly, with some hideous pop music that she tuned in the radio, then she would laugh, loudly, while clapping her hands together which was creating a ringing and deafening sound to his ears. Damien kept staring at Tifa like she has three heads from the backseat with his mouth agaped.
"Will you stop SINGING THAT?!" Cloud yelled before Tifa started laughing again.
"What are you talking about?! This is a good song!" She started twirling her closed fist in the air with an annoying purse of her lips. Cloud rolled his eyes with a sneer when she started singing the high tune with her voice cracking horribly. He glanced back at her again only to find her doing some robotic dance using her hands. He couldn't help but snort then he decided to play with the steering wheel, Tifa stopped dancing to scream when the car started swinging from side to side.
"WHAT THE HELL-!"
"It worked." He said with a big grin.
"Did you forget that Damien is in the back?!" Tifa yelled, Cloud stepped on the brakes suddenly which made Tifa yelp again, then they both looked at the backseat to see Damien still staring at Tifa with his mouth agape and his eyes lazy. Cloud snorted while Tifa gave him childish pout before the blond started driving again.
"Look at what kind of power your beautiful singing voice has, you've got him totally hypnotized."
"Shut up." Tifa said before she angrily pressed the off button of the radio. Cloud chuckled before he pressed it on again, he started tuning it and he got an old love song and he smirked before he started singing along with the chorus. Tifa stared at him in shock, she had actually found out at that moment how immaculate his voice was.
I don't wanna lose you. I love you as you are.
Tifa closed her eyes tightly and bit her lip like a lovestruck high school girl while she listened to his angelic voice as he sang gently.
I don't wanna lose you. I couldn't love you more.
Tifa let out a tiny scream of appreciation when Cloud looked at her with his eyes full of love... And lust. The lick of his lips gave it away.
Tell me. Love will remain. Though we may chan-"OH MY GODS!" He yelled the last words when a huge chocobo suddenly crossed the road which had him hitting the brakes suddenly. Tifa shrieked when she was thrown forward but the seatbelt stopped her that she felt that her neck snap while Damien was in full shock.
"SON OF A...!" Tifa exclaimed while holding her head. Cloud rolled down his window to peek his head out and yell at the monstrosity.
"STUPID FUCKING BIRD! ASSHOLE!" Tifa tried to reach for Damien to cover his ears but she was trapped in her seatbelt that she ended up swearing herself.
"MOTHERFU-!" She stopped herself in time before she scolded Cloud, who was giving the bird the dirty finger but the thing just warked back before it started galloping away.
"Not a good example for your little brother." Tifa said deadpanned. They could still hear the blasted thing warking away from a distance. Cloud grimaced, old habits die hard indeed.
"Sorry Daims, don't do or say any of that alright? Its bad." Cloud said while he looked at his brother, who nodded in response.
"Okay..." He said timidly.
After all the terrible mishaps, including Tifa's singing, they had finally reached the amusement park, and Cloud himself was amused as he stared at Tifa and Damien, who's mouths were agaped while staring up, both their backs slumped. They were so identical that Cloud couldn't help but snicker.
"Alright kids, this is it, let's go get our tickets." He said before he made his way towards the ticket booth, after he got the tickets, the three of them entered the park, with Cloud holding Tifa's hand on his right and on his left was Damien. A lot of people were actually recognizing them both but didn't bother to come forward to get their autographs, and they were thankful for that, but everyone's eyes were on them and Tifa felt uneasy.
Both Tifa and Damien talked about what ride they would go to first, and they both agreed to ride the carousel, and Cloud was dragged along, much to his dismay.
And it was when Tifa found out his terrible motion sickness.
Cloud held his free hand mouth to his hand while the other clutched the handlebar of the horse he was riding, looking a little green on the skin. The ride went on for a straight five minutes, a complete torture for the blonde model while Damien was having the time of his life, Tifa kept reaching out for her fiance but she ended up falling from her horse mid ride, much to her humiliation.
"How come you I didn't see you having this from all the travels we did?" Tifa asked Cloud, who's head was on a trash can, retching to his heart's content while she rubbed his back. She wore her handkerchief over her head then tied the ends in a knot on her chin like an old lady and sunglasses were on her eyes to hide her face from the humiliating stunt she pulled on the carousel.
"Look, that's her! It's Tifa Lockhart and she fell off the horse."
"The poor thing."
"I wouldn't show my face if I were her."
Tifa listened while she didn't move from her spot, her 'disguise' still intact even if it wasn't helping at all.
"That's why I'm driving..." Cloud slurred, trying to answer her previous question while Tifa handed him some wet wipes and some mouth wash from her bag. He started cleaning his mouth.
"Well, atleast you didn't fell off the horse." She said as a matter of factly, Damien tugged on her shirt.
"Can we ride that one next?" He asked as he pointed on the bump cars. Tifa smiled before she nodded.
"Sure! I would love that!"
"Immana... Immana stay here..." Cloud said weakly before he started to go to a bench with his back slumped. Tifa gave him a pityful look.
"Aww, Grumpie... I'm sorry, I'll stay..."
"No... It's okay... Sorry about this, go ride that one, I'll be here to watch." Cloud said with a reassuring smile.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, go baby." He said while he put on his sunglasses.
"Alright, we'll be back." Tifa said before she kissed his forehead gently, he hummed in appreciation before he whispered his love for her, which she gladly returned. That's when Tifa and Damien started running towards the ride with a chuckling Cloud watching their backs.
After all the fun they had, after all the chases Cloud made for the constantly running Tifa and Damien, they were finally home, the boy had been picked up by his mother with a lot of gifts to take home, courtesy of his big brother. Tifa was the first one to get to bed, she was exhausted so she went to sleep first, Cloud was showering to get ready for bed so he can get some peaceful sleep as well beside his beloved. When he was done, he put on his boxers then he went towards the bed and he couldn't help but notice how Tifa looked in her sleep, her eyebrows were knitted together with her mouth slightly open, like she was in pain. He furrowed his eyebrows then he bent down to gently caress her face. He decided to slide under his thick comforter and when he was settling himself in to wrap his arms around Tifa, he felt something wet on the bed. His face changed to confusion and when he lifted the comforter up, he stared in shock at what he saw.
There on the sheets, under the lower half of Tifa's body, was blood. Lots of it.
