Tifa is going to snap, plain and simple.
She aggressively wipes down the bar top with more force than was absolutely necessary. Ruby eyes locked on the flirtatious red-head with her hands all over her Cloud. Who was quite clearly uncomfortable, what with the way he was leaning away from Jessie with a grimace, trying to shake her hands off.
"Would you get off me!" Cloud barks, going so far as to, gently, push Jessie away from him.
"Awww c'mon merc. I'm not gonna bite! Unless you want me too."
Jessie's sultry purr leaves Tifa's blood pressure rising, her grip on the bar so strong she's surprised she hasn't cracked the wood. The final straw came when Jessie, completely ignoring Cloud's protests and comfort, threw her arms around his neck and tucked her nose behind his ear. Cloud sputtering because that was a sensitive spot. How. Dare. She!
Tifa sees red. Vaulting over the bar she stormed over to the pair and grabbed Jessie by the back of the shirt. The other woman shrieking as she tore her away from Cloud and all but shoved her across the bar.
"Wh-what the hell, Tifa?!" Jessie squawks.
But, Tifa pays her zero attention. Only rounds on Cloud - who's looking at her so gratefully - and grabs him by the collar, yanking him into a possessive kiss. The blond positively melting against her with a soft whimper. Tifa breaks the kiss after a moment or so - once she's sure she's gotten her point fully across - and glares over her shoulder.
"Mine!" She snarls with a defiant tilt of her chin, tucking Cloud's hot face against her neck, only she was allowed to see his pretty blushes thank you very much.
Jessie gapes at her. If Tifa wasn't so annoyed she'd probably think the other woman's bug eyed look was funny. As it was she was two seconds away from punting the red-head out the door on her ass with a well placed kick.
"Well damn, Tifa. Didn't know you had it in you…" The red-head muttered, once she picked her jaw up off the floor. "But I get it. I'll leave blondie alone." Holding her hands up in surrender, Jessie headed for the door. Good, otherwise Tifa really was going to throw her out.
Cloud makes an embarrassed noise against her neck once the door closes behind the other woman. Threading her fingers through the downy hair at his nape Tifa resolves to thoroughly make up for embarrassing him later - very thoroughly. But, Jessie needed to learn to keep her hands off her man.
