Chapter Seven


The next morning everything was calm, the weekend was here and most of the students were gone doing whatever they were doing. But what was the only thing calm, two minds were abuzz with thought. Squall’s and Edea’s.

At the moment the two were sitting across each other at the kitchen table, not sure what to say.

“Edea what do you think we should do about what’s going on between us?” Squall asked. “I mean you are technically still married.”

They looked at each other and Edea sighed. “To me Cid is no longer my husband. I plan on getting a divorce and soon.” She said. “At first I felt guilty and ashamed of how I felt, but now I realize it’s okay. We are both consenting adults and I don’t care that I took care of you as a child.”

Squall thought for a moment before talking. “I was also ashamed, but when I was younger I had a crush on you. It made me feel disgusting that I had those feeling towards someone who was suppose to be like my mother.” He said and she took his hands into hers.

“Squall…” She began but he shook his head.

“It’s okay, people can read all sort of psych bullshit into this, but I never saw you as a mother.” He said.

“Good because I never thought of you as my child. I don’t mean to sound cruel, but there was always something different when you were a child.” She said. “Perhaps it’s fate.”

They went quiet again, pondering and looking at each other. It was a relief to know they felt the same for one other, but they still had to keep their budding relationship a secret…at least until Edea’s divorce was final.

They both wanted to take it to the next level, even if it was a little soon, but at the same time wanted to go slow. Better to ease in than jump, especially since Squall had no real experience and Edea leaving a 30 year some marriage. It was for the best.

Yes taking their time would be torture, but the rewards in the end will be worth it.

I know it’s going slowly and sorry for basically just a talking chapter.
