Thirty one: Bonus Chapter (Assistant wars)
Tifa Lockhart has been raised as a human being with rational thoughts, good judgement and understanding, she was not one to do drastic things and decisions, that's why she was perfect as an assistant to someone completely opposite of her, her now fiance and former boss, Cloud Strife. But there are times that those traits are pushed aside dramatically, specifically, at this very moment.
Cloud Strife had requested Tseng for him to have an assistant, he needed it, both him and Tifa knew that because of his hectic schedule, he needed someone to look after them and his other needs and 'demands'. He got an assistant within two days.
Except that assistant has two twin towers that can stop even the busiest men in the planet to look, small waist and some amazing buttocks that every men want to get a handful of. Long, silky blond hair, and a pretty face that can pass off as a make up model. And her accent was the worst part, she has this sexy way of speaking that can get any men weak on the knees.
And Tifa was not liking it at all.
It was when she decided to check on Cloud on his dressing room that he saw how the blond's world changed instantly when that said assistant came. She found the door open so she went to take a look, and the scene she saw made her blood boil like lava. The said sexy assistant was relaying something to Cloud about his schedule while she clutched her notes just slightly below her chest, the chest with some delicious cleavage popping out of it. She could see how her fiance was fidgeting and swallowing, trying his best not to look which made nostrils flare up. And as the woman turned around, she 'dropped' her notes suddenly, bent down in a very sexy way and she saw how Cloud's eyes widened as he looked before he looked away quickly. Tifa's fists clenched on her sides before she walked away from the scene.
Cloud listened as his new assistant Rosie told him his schedule for the next day. He could see how she was purposely tightening her cleavage and it was making him uneasy. But she was very good at her job, he couldn't deny that.
What the hell, think that'll work on me? He thought to himself, he tried his best not to look but it was distracting, not that he was attracted to the things, but it was just there. What the fuck.
"And we have everyzing we need for zemorrow's zhoot Mizer S'rife." Even the way she talked was distracting.
"Alright. Thanks." He said and she turned around she purposely dropped her notes then bent down in a sexy way, his eyes widened in surprise then he looked away. I need some fucking coffee.
"Bring me coffee Rosie, right now."
"Zure Mizer S'-"
"Just Cloud."
"Zure Culoud."
TIfa decided to seduce her fiance that night, she actually bought some sexy lingerie, a corset to be specific, which was black in color and lacy in many different places, She wore some matching black panties and some garter belt, and some sexy laced stockings and black pumps for her feet to finish it off, she curled her hair and wore light make up. She stared at herself in the mirror while twirling her hair with a sexy smirk on her face, practicing how she would look like when she approach the said blond, who was busy on his laptop on the living room. She smacked her shiny lips together before she gave herself a kiss in the air then she winked at her sexy self.
Sexy new assistant, eh? We'll see about that. She told herself then she walked seductively towards the door to unleash her inner temptress. When she reached the living room, she saw her lover busy typing in his laptop, not really looking up at her.
"Hey Gorgeous..." She said in a sultry voice. "What time will you be done?..."
"Hey, I'm just finishing up, I'll be right there." Cloud said, still not looking, Tifa felt her temper rising.
"What are you doing anyway?..." She asked, in her still sutry voice.
"Just checking my emails." He said, still not looking.
"Well, better hurry up because I'm waiting..."
"Yeah, I'll be right there." He said again, still not looking. Tifa's eyes hardened and her lips formed into a thin line. She groaned in frustration with a stomp of her foot before she turned around angrily. That's when Cloud took notice of her, his jaw dropped when he saw what she looked like, he instantly closed his laptop, put it aside then ran after her to their bedroom. Tifa was about to close the door when he stopped it with his hand, Tifa stared at him with her face filled with fury while he eyed her from head to toe, he felt his pants tighten at the sight of her.
"Wow..." He whispered. "You look-" He gestured to all of her before Tifa started pushing him out of the door then she slammed it shut to his very shocked face. "Hey!" He yelled while pounding the door. "Why did you kick me out?! Come on let me in! I wanna smother my face in you-" But Tifa wasn't listening to his pleads anymore, she was busy dialing Tseng number on her cell, she placed the receiver on her ear with her eyes burning with fury.
"Tseng, I need an assistant." She said slowly through gritted teeth.
"I need to see my sexy Trollie!" She could hear Cloud's muffled voice from outside the door.
Tseng was scribbling away in his office while humming a mellow tune to himself, it was actually very peaceful until the door suddenly open with a bang which made him jump with a yelp in a very uncharacteristic manner.
"I need my assistant as soon as possible." It was Tifa and anger was written all over her face. Tseng stared up at her with his hand on his chest.
"Alright." He said calmly, despite the great shock she gave him. "What kind of assistant are you looking for?" He asked, but did not dare to ask about her foul mood.
"I need a male." She said, he raised an eyebrow. "With a lean body, the muscular, beefcake kind of guy." Tseng raised his eyebrow again before he started scribbling.
"Male, beefcake, what else?" He asked. Tifa paused.
"That's it. I need someone who can lift heavy objects, I have a lot of stuff with me always." She said as an excuse.
"I'll be sending people to you tomorrow for an interview."
"Great, thanks."
Tifa waited eagerly at her dressing room for the potential new beefy assistant she wanted, she straightened herself when a knock was heard on her door.
"Come in." She said firmly with her game face on but the said game face melted into shock when saw a huge, no, huge was an understatement, an enormous guy with extremely bulky muscles that she could see the veins potruding from his skin, his hair was on an army cut and his heavily scarred face would scare even the bravest people in the world. He wore a black wife beater that looked like it was about to rip and some army pants, and army boots.
"W-w-w-w-w-w-what can I do for y-"
"Who do I need to kill for you, Ms. Lockhart?" He said in a voice that put all the monsters in the closet to shame before he tilted his head from left to right with a thunderous crack.
"Holy hell..." Tifa whispered to herself.
Tifa stared in shock at the next guy, he has a smaller body build but still ridiculously muscular, but what distracted her was his uni-eyebrow and a very large mole below his nose. Tifa cleared her throat before she looked down at his resume.
"Tell me something about yourself, Mr... Ella?" She asked while she looked back up with a questioning brow.
"It's Miss." 'She' said with her deep, not-so-feminine voice. Tifa let out a nervous laugh.
Tifa slowly peeked over her table to see the man in military uniform doing push ups on her floor in an alarming rate, not really sure how she should feel.
"65, 66, 67, 68, 69."
Tifa's face brightened when she saw a handsome male with shoulder length blonde hair wearing white dress shirt with a peach scarf loosely hanging on his neck, some khaki pants and brown loafers were on his feet, he was carrying a single rose and he handed it to Tifa, which made her giggle.
"Hello, my beautiful maiden, I will now sing my song for you so you can see that I am worthy for this part." He said which earned him a raised eyebrow, but before Tifa could speak, he started singing in very impressive voice that was fit for broadway along with some dramatic hand gestures. Tifa tried to stop him but he didn't.
I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright!~ Tifa closed her eyes when he sang the last word with his adams apple trembling in his throat.
When he was done, Tifa was staring at him with a perplexed look.
"What are you applying for, exactly?" She asked.
"Oh!" He said with a small laugh. "I am auditioning for the lead role in-" Tifa couldn't hear the rest when she started face palming.
After more grueling experience in getting her much wanted assistant, when all hope was lost, a very sexy, very handsome man with brown hair that was cascading down his eyes came in last, Tifa slowly lifted her face from her hand while she stared at him while he walked in with a very handsome smile on his face, Tifa looked down to see his name, Nathan, then she stood up while she slowly lifted her hands in the air like she was praising the Gods above with her mouth wide open. The guy was about to speak when she beat him to it.
"You're. Hired." She said slowly, the guy raised an eyebrow before Tifa went around her table then she pulled him towards the door. The man was confused while he was being dragged away on the hallway until their reached a certain spot, a spot near Cloud's room.
"Okay, here's my schedule for the month and this is the list of the things that I always needed." She said rapidly as she handed him a bunch of notes. "Here, for example, if I ask you to get me some coffee, this is how I want it." She said as she pointed to the word 'coffee' which specifies how she liked it, with sugar and lots of cream. The assistant clutched the papers with the still confused look, so confused that he couldn't speak. Just then, the door to Cloud's dressing room opened and the blond emerged with his assistant, both of them going over something. Tifa glanced at them before she started laughing in a fake, very loud manner, Cloud looked over to where she was then his eyebrows furrowed when he saw her laughing with a very handsome man.
"Oh! That's so funny! I really liked that very funny joke! Maybe I should use it on my show." She said while she rested her hand on the assistant's arm, who was shocked at what was happening. Cloud started to approach the two with his eyes narrowed at the poor guy. He cleared his throat loudly before Tifa smirked sinisterly, then she turned around to face her lover with a fake smile.
"Hi, Grumpie." She said before she went forward to give him a hard kiss. Cloud didn't take his eyes off the guy, who was now smiling at him.
"Who's that?" He asked with a nod of his head towards Nathan.
"Oh, this?" Tifa said with a small laugh. "This is my new assistant, Nathan. He's the one who's going to be with me when at work... All the time... When you're not with me... At work... At all times..." She said with that still fake smile, she wanted to smirk at Cloud's visible scowl at he stared at Nathan, then he too did a fake smile before he lifted his hand to introduce himself.
"My name is Cloud, her fiance." Tifa wanted to laugh at how he emphasized the word. Nathan smiled brightly but Tifa's smug smile and Cloud's fake smile slowly melted when Nathan started talking. In a very high pitched, almost feminine voice.
"Oh, hello Mr. Cloud Strife, I'm a really huge fan of you, I couldn't believe I'm meeting you in person like this, it's all thanks for Ms. Lockhart here, I'll be doing my best to be the best of the best assistant I can be for her, I promise I'll take care of her for you Mr. Strife." Tifa slowly lifted her very shocked face to look at her dear assistant while Cloud kept his straight, struggling not to laugh out loud.
"That's good to hear." He said before he turned to look at his fiancee, who was still frozen on her spot with her mouth wide open in shock. He turned around to start walking away. "I have to go baby, I'll see you later, I love you." He said while looking over his shoulder, then he walked away with Rosie with a smug smirk on his face. TIfa slowly looked away from Nathan towards Cloud, her face still not changing.
"Is there anything you need, Miss Lockhart?" Nathan asked in his very distracting voice.
"I need coffee. Black. Pronto." Tifa said weakly with her mouth slightly slackened.
A/N: Lol, poor Tifa. Cloud wins this one.
