Chapter Nine: Confessions
of the Heart
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
Shuyin�s
mind and body woke at the same time and for a moment he didn�t recognize his
surroundings but it all came flooding back to him. Flashes of skin and
sweat; of moans and screams. The touch of her hand on his chest brought
him to the sickening reality of what he�d done.
Sitting
up quickly and squirming away from her, Shuyin rose naked from the bed and
searched frantically for his clothes. Lifting herself on one arm, Allyn asked,
�Leaving so soon?�

�Yes.� Shuyin replied quietly as he located his boxers and slipped them up and
over his legs followed shortly thereafter by his jeans.
His
eyes scanned the room for his shirt but it was no where near the rest of his
clothes and as he spun in his search he saw it dangling from Allyn�s
outstretched finger. The young woman smirked from her position on the
bed, �Looking for this?� She rose slowly, letting the sheet drag from her
body as she approached him with her hips swaying. He accepted the shirt
she gave him and slipped it over his head as she lay back onto the bed and
said, �We just had the best sex we�ve ever had and you�re just going to
leave? Don�t you want an encore?� Allyn ran her tongue over her
lips seductively and winked at Shuyin who blushed and turned away.
The
blitzer couldn�t believe what he�d done. The shock of it hadn�t seemed to
settle into his brain yet. It was almost as if he�d flashed back three
years. What was he going to do? Taking a deep breath, Shuyin
reached for the bedroom doorknob as he said, �Don�t read too much into this,
Allyn.�
��Too late��
Shuyin
silently cursed his stupidity before turning to her, �This was a mistake.
It won�t be happening again.�

�This wasn�t a mistake, Shu.� Allyn replied, �This was fate.�
��You�ve never believed it fate before,
Allyn. Why start now?� questioned the blonde.
Allyn
lifted herself from the bed and reached for her sheer, silk robe that hung over
the headboard. After securing it around herself, the young woman walked
past Shuyin and out into her living room where she plopped on the sofa and
smiled at him from across the way, �You came here because you wanted to
be here. It wasn�t because anybody forced you to be here. It wasn�t
because you felt obligated.� She smiled triumphantly, �It was because you
wanted to be here and you wanted me. You�ll want me
again. It�s only a matter of time.�
Shuyin
groaned and went for the front door as he said, �I came here because I was a
little drunk and was having trouble with Lenne. That�s the only reason.�

�You said you two split up�� Allyn stated as she stood and faced him, �I�d say
that�s a little more than trouble.�
Shuyin
didn�t want to face her. He could only remember little bits of what he�d
said to her. His head was still fuzzy but he did remember telling her the
truth about what happened with Lenne.
Shuyin
frowned at the door he faced and whispered, �Lenne and I are going to be fine.�
Allyn
smiled and blew him a kiss as he walked out the door, �Whatever you say,
lover.�
------------------------

�Will
you call me as soon as you hear from him, Skirpa? Thanks.
Bye.� Zaon hung up the phone and sighed. Since his wife had spent
the night at Lenne�s trying to calm the songstress down, Zaon had taken it upon
himself to figure out where Shuyin went but everytime he called the blitzer�s
house there was no answer. His cell phone had been turned off too and
none of his friends had seen him. There was a sinking feeling in Zaon�s
gut that told him he knew exactly where Shuyin had been all night, but
he kept pushing it away.
It
was too horrible to think about.
A
knock at the door caused Zaon to bolt over and pull the door open. The
sight of Shuyin standing there caused a mixed reaction in his friend.
Shuyin was alive and appeared to be in one piece which was wonderful, but he
was also wearing the same clothes he�d worn the day before�
��Where the hell were you?!� Zaon cried as he
pulled Shuyin into the house and shoved him onto the sofa. Shuyin seemed
slightly out of it as he focused on his shoes and ignored his friend�s
question. Zaon sat on the recliner across from him, �What happened to
you?�
Shuyin�s
shaking shoulders alarmed Zaon and it wasn�t until he saw tears forming puddles
on the hardwood floor that he realized his friend was crying. Moving from
the recliner to a seat next to Shuyin, he put an arm around his best friend�s
shoulders as Shuyin whispered, �I am such an idiot��
Zaon
frowned, �Why didn�t you answer your phone last night?� he asked although he
already had an idea what the answer would be. He just had to hear it from
Shuyin himself.
�I
wasn�t home�� was his friend�s reply and Zaon sighed. Shuyin rubbed at
his wet eyes and looked up, �I slept with Allyn.�
�I
thought so.� Zaon confessed. Rising from his seat to pace about the room,
Zaon tried to figure out what to say or do. Taking a breath, he knelt in
front of Shuyin and smiled, �You didn�t do anything wrong, you know.� He
said. Shuyin looked at him incredulously and had the situation not been so
bad, Zaon would have laughed, �How in Spira can you say that?�
�Well,�
came the blue haired man�s response, �you and Lenne split up, right? So
you were free to sleep with your entire fan club if you wanted to.� Zaon
shrugged, �Granted, maybe sleeping with Allyn wasn�t the smartest move you
could have made but it�s not like you cheated on Lenne.�
Shuyin
sighed, burying his face in his hands, �Well maybe I didn�t but she�s not going
to see it like that. She�s just going to hate me.�
�Honestly
Shuyin, there�s no reason you even have to tell her about this.� Zaon
raised a hand at Shuyin�s shocked and questioning stare and said, �Hear me
out! You and Lenne split yesterday afternoon meaning that last night you
were a single man. Lenne doesn�t know about every single girl you�ve
slept with while you were single, does she?�
��No�but��

�No buts! You slept with Allyn before and Lenne knows this, so just
pretend that last night didn�t happen last night, but instead happened three
years ago. Whose going to know the difference?�
Shuyin
thought on this for several minutes while playing all the different scenarios
in his mind. Running a hand through his blonde hair he said
sarcastically, �That will be wonderful, Zaon. Instead of me telling her
the truth, I�ll just wait until Allyn spills it during breakfast. Brilliant!�
��Oh yeah,� Zaon said with a little laugh, �I
hadn�t thought about that.�

�Obviously.�
Zaon
shot Shuyin a look and said, �Don�t give me attitude or I could just feed you
to Yunalesca.�
��I deserve it.� Shuyin sighed.
Zaon
looked at his friend who was wallowing in self pity and sighed. He
couldn�t get over how many times one person could get himself into such weird
and completely avoidable situations. Shaking his head, Zaon said, �No you
don�t. You may deserve a lot of things, but Yunalesca�s wrath is
definitely not one of them.� He reached for his friend�s hand and pulled
him to a standing position, �C�mere. You�re going to take a shower and then
you�re going to go to Lenne�s house and make up with her.�
Shuyin
slowly followed his friend back toward the bathroom and watched as his friend
gathered towels and handed them to him. As Shuyin walked into the
bathroom, he said, �Jury�s reached a verdict, Zaon��
Zaon
smiled, �I know you love her. Now just go and tell her that.�
----------------------
Shuyin
stared at the door as Zaon knocked and then opened, dragging Shuyin unwillingly
inside. Lenne was sitting in her pajamas on the sofa with Yunalesca
nursing a cup of coffee next to her. At her husband�s nod, Yunalesca
jumped to her feet and left with Zaon leaving Lenne and Shuyin alone.
The
uncomfortable silence between them was something Shuyin didn�t think he�d ever
get used to and hoped that he�d never have to. Lenne rose from her seat
and walked a little closer to him, �Hi there.� She whispered, her voice sounded
hoarse and he noted the stain of freshly spilled tears on her cheeks.
��Hi.� He replied, reaching out despite himself
and taking her hand. She didn�t pull away and the two stood staring into
each other�s eyes for several minutes. Just when he was starting to
relax, though, Lenne pulled her hand away and backed off toward the sofa again.
Lenne said nothing and seemed terribly uncomfortable. Shuyin hated
knowing that she was unhappy and that he�d done it to her. He hoped to
make things better, but he knew they were going to get worse first.
�What
are you doing here?� Lenne asked as she busied herself cleaning the dishes from
breakfast from her coffee table.

�I wanted to apologize.� Shuyin replied, �I�m so sorry for what happened
yesterday.�
Lenne
gave him a weak smile, �Yuna told me that the girl was your cousin. I
totally overreacted.� She sighed, �I didn�t think I�d ever see you
again.� Shuyin�s mouth opened and closed like a fish. He was
relatively sure that after he told her about Allyn, she�d never want to
see him again. The blitzer was about to confess when Lenne rushed into
his arms and buried her face in his chest, �I missed you so much.�
��I missed you too.� Replied Shuyin as he
returned her hug. The two stood holding each other for what felt like an
eternity before Shuyin decided it was best to get it out in the open before he
lost his nerve. Holding her away from him by the shoulders he said, �I
have to tell you something.�
��Whatever it is, I don�t care.� Lenne replied,
trying to restart the hug he had ended.
Shuyin
shook his head, �You need to know this.� Shuyin took a deep breath and
tried to figure out the best way to break the news to her before deciding that
it would be best to just say it, �After our breakup, I went to Irvine�s
Tavern. It�s where I go sometimes to just cool off after a rough
day. Normally I go home right after, but last night�� he paused and
looked into her brown eyes. They were so trusting and he was about to
shatter that trust completely with his next words, �I slept with Allyn.�
She
was silent. It was almost as if the words hadn�t completely sunk
in. Lenne turned away from him and started for the kitchen, �Did you want
something to eat?� she asked. Her walking was a little stiff and her
voice seemed detached.
�Lenne.�
She
turned quickly at the sound of his voice and watched as he took a few tentative
steps toward her. She didn�t move and, after a few minutes, he didn�t
either. They stood staring at each other, both not knowing what to say,
when Shuyin whispered, �You�re mad at me....huh?�
Lenne�s
eyes fell to the floor. They�d never really had an argument before � especially
not about something like this. She�d wondered and been jealous but when
Yunalesca had told her that the girl he�d been �flirting� with was actually his
cousin, she�d calmed down. She knew she�d overreacted and just hoped that
he�d forgive her. Now after his confession, she didn�t know what to say.
Her
lack of an answer caused him to say, �I suppose that is a yes.� He took a
step closer to her, �I can try to explain if you�ll listen to me.�
Her
anger rushed into her and reached the boiling point quickly, �No!� she screamed
suddenly, throwing a nearby coffee cup at his head and narrowly missing
contact, �I won�t listen to you!� she began walking closer to him, and Shuyin
took a step back. She glared at him, �How could you?!� she bit out.
Her fist connected with his chest forcing the air from his lungs as she
continued to beat him with her tiny hands. She wasn�t hurting him
physically, but his heart was breaking knowing that it was his fault that she
was this upset. Tears were streaming down her beautiful face as she
continued her assault, �Why wasn�t I enough?� she asked finally, her fists
falling dejectedly at her sides.

�I was stupid, Lennie�so stupid.� He pulled back, grabbing her by the
shoulders. �Lenne, look at me.� She did and he saw her red-rimmed eyes
and tear stained cheeks. �I came here to fix things and make this
right. I know what I did was really stupid and if you don�t forgive me,
I�ll understand but I really hope you do.� His words became chocked in the
sobs that were forming in his throat as he grabbed her hand and whispered, �I
love you�.�
Shuyin
didn�t know if she was going to believe him, but she hadn�t let go of his hand
which was a good sign. He wasn�t sure, but he was hoping that despite her
anger and uncertainty, she felt like he did. Time seemed to stand still
as he waited for Lenne�s reaction. The songstress stared into his blue
eyes that were pleading with her to forgive him; to believe him. His hand was trembling but hadn�t let go of hers
and she saw in his eyes the raw emotion that made him come here and tell her
the truth when he could have easily kept his mouth shut.

He
loved her�
She
tightened her grip on his hand and touched his face with her free hand, �I
believe you,� she whispered.
He
wrapped his arms around her waist tightly and she pulled him tight against her
with her arms. Shuyin buried his face into her neck, and Lenne ran her
fingers softly up and down his back, �I�m so sorry Lennie,� he whispered into
her neck. �I never wanted to make you cry��
��It�s okay,� she whispered, running her
fingers through his damp blonde hair. �It was my fault to begin with.�

�I don�t deserve you�� murmured Shuyin as he calmed down and released his hold
on her briefly to wipe the tears from his cheeks.
He
pulled back to look into her eyes. Tentatively, as if afraid she�d be
angry, Shuyin leaned down and gently touched his lips to hers. She moaned
low in her throat as the kiss deepened and he began backing her toward the
couch behind them. With a thud, the two landed with Shuyin on top of her,
�I�m not crushing you am I?� he asked. She shook her head. She
loved the pressure of his body on her.
They
stayed curled against each other for several minutes before Shuyin kissed her
forehead gently and whispered, �I should get going. I�m already late for
practice.�
Tightening
her grasp on him, Lenne shook her head, �Stay�forget practice and stay.�
Shuyin
grinned, �Practice shouldn�t be long today. I�ll come back after and we
can go for a picnic in Macalania like you wanted to the other day.� He smiled
at her, �What do you say?�

�That sounds wonderful.� Lenne replied as she kissed his cheek.
Turning his head to brush his lips against hers, Shuyin whispered, �I�m
going to do everything I can to make this up to you. I promise.�
Author�s Notes: This chapter is totally from Allyn�s
perspective � first one of those ever. It�ll give a little more insight
into Shuyin�s ex as well as help lead up to the ending of the story which is
going to be angsty and tragic but for those of you who have finished the game
and know what happens, you know it can�t
be anything but that.
