“Oh, I lost them in a storm, the biggest storm of all. You see we weren’t always this little, most of our members either got killed in battle or we lost them in the storm.” Arlene said then sighed. Gemini could feel her pain
“Must have been hard for you to take it in.” Arlene nodded.
“It was but I was still alive and that’s all that mattered.”
“I see you now have something of Layton,” Arlene said and smiled then Gemini remembered the panda.
“Yeah, I just didn’t know he was a little caring.” Gemini smiled to herself and thought of the night.
“You know he really loves you, I wasn’t sure if he would find someone else but I guess he did.” Gemini laughed.
“Am not think he does.” Just then Gemini remembered her shopping list.
“Oh, I forgot I was supposed to be shopping,” Gemini said as she heavily sighed.
“I can buy the things for you.” Gemini accepted since she was lazy that day then handed the woman her list.
“I’ll be back just don’t leave the compass please,” Arlene begged and Gemini nodded. She sat on the bed watching movies when the doorbell rang, Gemini got up and headed for the door. A girl stood by the front door.
“Hey Lay…” She was cut off once she saw Gemini and gave her a nasty glare.
“Can I help you?” Gemini asked.
“Where’s Layton?” The girl asked as she shoved Gemini to the side and made her way in.
“He’s at work, as I said can I help?”
“Well am Andrea. Since he’s not yet here then I’ll just wait.” Andrea said then made her way to the living room.
“You must be his new mate,” Andrea asked.
“Yeah, I guess.”
“Am so thirsty, get me something to drink.” The girl commanded and Gemini did as she asked.
“You not what I really imagined, I thought you would be much prettier.” Andrea rudely said.
“Do I know you?” Gemini asked angrily.
“No you don’t but my ex does.” Gemini stared at her confused. Ex?
“Oh, Layton is your ex?”
“Yeah. I heard he found someone else so o came over to have a little chat with the both of you well mostly him.” The girl said.
“You came at the wrong time, he’ll be back at four so maybe you might want to come back later.”
“Well that’s no way to treat a guest, I already told you I’ll wait for him” She hissed. Gemini was surprised and annoyed at the same time. She thought, if Layton told her his ex would be there she would have gone with Arlene.
“This place still looks the same, boring.” The girl said.
“So tell me why did Layton leave you?” Gemini asked as she felt the girls’ presence annoy her.
“He just wasn’t my type.” Gemini giggled.
“Really or did he leave you?” Andrea rolled her eyes.
“Not really but what would you know, your weak and pathetic it’s not long till he dumps you anyway.” The girl said then took off her heels.
“Okay look I don’t want to be on anyone’s bad side cause am just new here so if it’s anything to do with Layton then talk to him.” She laughed.
“Your cute but I won’t let you take him away from me alright! ” She yelled.
“Look am not here to steal him from you, he chose me it’s not like I forced him to choose me.”
“Then leave, I’ll tell him I told you to leave,” Andrea suggested and Gemini was confused. She wondered why this girl was here, she found it strange that she was allowed to come to Layton’s house even after they separated.
“This has always and will always be my house so am telling you to pack your things and go,” Andrea demanded.
“I just can’t leave.”
“And why not?”
“First he told me not to and second where do you expect me to go? I left my hometown and mother to be here. Even if I went back she would never accept me.” Gemini said trying to reason with the girl. She was the type of person who failed to stand up for themselves as she didn’t really interact with many people.
“it’s not my problem!! I want you out of this place!!” Andrea yelled and pushed the girl to the ground at that moment she wished Arlene was there with her.
“Alright let me get my stuff,” Gemini said.
Gemini made her way to her bedroom as Andrea waited patiently for the girl to leave the house. Gemini grabbed the telephone on her bedroom door then decided to call Layton, she thought it was best for him to talk to his ex since she failed.
“Hello.” She heard his voice ask.
“Hey, I….”
“Am in a meeting right now Gemini so whatever your about to tell me better be important!!” He yelled over the phone and Gemini found herself getting annoyed.
“Well there’s someone who’s waiting for you, she got impatient and now she’s trying to kick me out of the house.” Layton was silent for a while.
“Who is it?” He asked in an irritated tone.
“Some girl named Andrea, she said she’s your ex and wasn’t really happy when she saw me.” He sighed.
