Chapter 6
Later in the day Lulu found herself, in her secret little spot on the beach. Nobody knew of the place, so she felt very safe there. Safe enough to bath in the nice cool water.
“Oh, I’ve not done this in a long time,” Lulu sighed, slowly slipping her long black dress of her white porcelain shoulders.
Taking a quick look around, she made sure no one had stumbled upon her. Satisfied that she really was alone, she reached behind her and un-clipped her bra, letting in flutter to the ground.
Dipping a toe in the water, she shivered. “Ohh, that’s cold,” she whispered, pulling her red and white panties down, and kicking them aside.
Yuna was still feeling a bit sad about what was going on with her and Rikku, so she decided to go to the temple and pray to her fathers statue.
Father, guide me, what should I do? Do you approve of this sort of thing daddy? Yuna prayed, her eyes, glued to her fathers stone face.
“Yuna, you okay,” a quiet voice spoke?
Jumping in surprise, Yuna turned to where the voice was coming from. She hurried and wiped the tears, off her face. “Oh, I’m fine,” she lied, looking at the al behd.
“You're crying,” Gippal said, noticing the wetness on her face.
“Yeah, I was praying to my father.” She said, looking down.
“Oh, I’m sorry for disturbing you. You miss him?”
Looking up Yuna smiled at the Al Behd boy, “yeah, I really do,” she whispered. But that’s not why I was crying, she thought.
Gippal smiled, and took Yuna by the arm, “come on, Yuna. Lets get you some lunch.”
Leaning into the Al Behd Yuna smiled, “thanks, Gippal.”
Coming out of the temple the two met Baralai and Rikku, both who looked a little jealous, at seeing Gippal and Yuna so close to each other.
Gippal blushed and let go of Yuna, knowing what the two must look like. “I was just telling Yuna we should go and get some lunch. You two want to join us,” Gippal asked?
Paine was just exiting, the item shop when she slammed into Wakka. And I do mean slammed.
“Ow,” she exclaimed, when she fell back landing on her bum. (That’s hurt you big jerk,) she yelled, before seeing that is was Wakka who had knocked her down.
“Geez, I’m sorry Paine. My thoughts were in the clouds,” Wakka said apologizing, lending a hand, and helping the young warrior up.
Letting herself be pulled up, she dusted herself off, “That’s alright. I’ll let that one slide. My thoughts were up there too.”
“Is there anything you want to talk about,” Wakka asked?
“Maybe, anything you want to talk about,” Paine asked?
Wakka smiled, scratching his head, “maybe.”
“Hiya, what can I get you guys,” a teenage waitress asked the four friends? “I’m Lina, I’ll be your waitress today.”
Yuna smiled at the girl and looked at her menu, “Um, I’ll have the fish, please.”
Gippal made a ‘yuck’ face, which made Baralai laugh into his drink. Rikku just shook her head, her braids bouncing, at the two boys, rolling her eyes. “Fish is good,” Rikku said. “I’ll have that too.”
“Okay, two fish platters and what about you two fine young lads,” Lina asked, winking at Baralai?
Gippal glared at Lina, but her attention was on Baralai soshe didn't notice, “Chicken,” he muttered.
Baralai gulped, noticing Gippal’s glare, “me too,” me said, giving Gippal a small smile.
“Okay, love so that’s two fish and two chicken,” the waitress said, writing their orders on her pad.
“Yes, thank you,” Yuna said, smiling.
Nodding Lina smiled flirtatiously at Baralai before leaving to give their order to the cook.
“Wow,” Rikku giggled, “that girl sure seems to have the hot for you Baralai.”
Shifting uncomfortably, Baralai looked at Rikku, “huh, oh, I didn’t notice,” he lied, glancing at the scowling Gippal.
Noticing the boys exchange of looks Yuna got a puzzled look on her face, but forgot all about it, when she felt Rikku accidently rub up against her, when she reached over her to get a napkin.
Smiling sheepishly, Rikku blushed, “sorry, I spilled my drink.”
Her face flaming, Yuna hoped the boys didn't notice, she smiled at Rikku, “S’ok,” she muttered.
Gippal and Baralai did not notice how flushed the two girls were, because they were two busy glancing at each other. Baralai shyly took Gippal’s hand under the table.
Gippal smiled and squeezed his hand. Blushing both boys looked away from each other, still holding hands.
Trying to make conversation, Gippal leaned towards the girls, “so what were you two up too,before we dropped in on you?”
“Huh!”
“Huh!”
Trying their best to not blush the girls looked at Gippal and Baralai, “you know much needed R and R. Yuna read some, I mostly laid around,” Rikku told them, of course not telling them the whole truth.
“So what about you two,” Yuna asked.
Now it was the boys turn to try and not blush. “Pretty much the same, I hung out with Paine in Bevelle for a while,” Baralai told the girls.
“And I meet a friend in Luca,” Gippal added. Baralai blushed knowing what Gippal meant, he had met a jeweler in Luca.
“And we all three happened to meet up on a airship and decided to accompany Paine here,” Gippal said, knowing his cheeks must be a little red.
“Oh,” Rikku and Yuna said at the same time.
“So what’s on your mind, Wakka,” Paine asked setting herself on the edge of Wakka’s bed?
Blushing, Wakka walked to his dresser, “why don’t you go first, Paine.”
“If I tell you, you’d probably hate me,” Paine whispered.
“Huh, I could never, what’s wrong?”
“Well, I think I’m starting to like...”
Getting out of the fresh clear water, Lulu sighed, looking up at the blue sky, “wow, that felt good.” Picking up her towel she started to dry off.
Bending down, she retrieved her clothing and started to get dressed.
A few minutes later a fully dressed black mage, made her way back to town.
