“Some restaurant thought we could have dinner somewhere else.” She nodded. They then reached their destination and they both walked in, the restaurant was fancy and expensive Gemini wondered where he got the money from. They took their seats at a private table so they could be alone.
Gemini and Layton sat at their table. They soon ordered their food.
“This place is amazing.” Gemini stared at the décor.
“It is.”
“So why did you order a private room?” She asked as she ate her food.
“For us to talk.” She nodded. Some time passed by.
“It was really kind of you to you know defend me the other day.” She said then blushed.
“It’s alright after all you’re still my mate.” She smiled when she heard those words but she wasn’t sure if he said that out of love.
“I know.” Out of the blue Layton reached out for Gemini’s hand and held it tight. Gemini blushed.
“You know Andrea wore that same dress your wearing.” Layton had to speak out as it was going to his head.
“Oh…. You should have told me, I would have changed.”
“I didn’t tell you cause it looks really looks good on you.” He complimented.
“But I can’t wear something your ex wore.”
“As I said it suits you.” She thought it was a perfect time to ask him again about his ex.
“So will you now tell me about your ex?” He looked at her then sighed.
“We met some years ago at the mating ceremony. I don’t know how or why but I did fall for her and I chose her.” Gemini listened carefully.
“I did love her a lot but I guess she just loved me cause of my money.”
“Why did you two break up?” She asked.
“Well I found out that she was seeing other men, honestly I was just a kid, and I ….” He paused for a second.
“I found out and she made a bunch of lies so she could make it seem like it was my fault.” He said then took a sip from his cup.
“But it wasn’t your fault. Do you still love her?” She asked.
“No, I don’t.” Gemini felt relieved, she thought he still had feelings for her.
“As I said there’s no reason for you to get angry or jealous cause I wouldn’t leave her for you and you should understand that.” This was very odd for her to hear Layton say those sweet words so she went along with it.
“Wow thanks that’s so sweet, It makes me feel way better.” She giggled and he chuckled.
“Andrea asked the same question am going to ask, why did you choose me?” She felt her stomach tingle. He laughed got up from his seat and knelt down in front of her.
“I chose you cause I love you, I felt it from the beginning.” He said holding her hands again.
“This is so strange of you and some time ago I thought you were….” She looked away before finishing her sentence.
“Heartless? You thought I was heartless?” He continued and she nodded.
“I mean I’ve heard a hell lot about you so I wasn’t really comfortable with you, at first.” He looked away then back at her.
“Are you comfortable now?” He asked getting up then got her up. He asked her for a dance and they danced to the music slowly.
“Yeah, I feel comfortable now.” She said as they danced. They had their dance and talk then they decided to go back home. Gemini went to her room since she and Layton couldn’t sleep in the same room. She stayed all night thinking about the night and how Layton was so loving after a long time she finally fell asleep.
After some time she and Layton got really close not only that but he also taught Gemini some stuff she had to know and the more she learned the stronger she became. Gemini called Arlene over to help her with the cooking she felt it would be amazing if she cooked something for her soon-to-be husband. Layton was at work as usual leaving Gemini alone with Arlene.
“This is really loving of you.” Arlene smiled as she helped Gemini cook.
“He’s been really kind and loving to me so I felt like returning the favor.” Arlene raised a brow.
“You know he’s really changed the cause of you,” Arlene added. Even though she heard a lot of negative stuff about Layton she still loved him a lot. Layton was done for the day with his work so he got in his car and drove home, as soon as he changed he met Gemini smiling widely at him.
“What is it.” He asked as he walked over and kissed her forehead.
“I made you dinner.” She excitedly said and dragged him to the dining room where she served him. He took a bite then smiled.
“It’s amazing, you cooked it all by yourself?”
“Not really well Arlene helped me but I did cook it for you.” She watched him patiently reading his face to see if he truly liked it.
“Thanks for the fact that you did it for me. Very flattered.” He said as he got up and gave her the last hug.
“I’ll be in my room if you need me, got some work to do.” She nodded and he made his way to his room. She cleaned after him then made her way to the bedroom. She thought she was ready to give her virginity away to him, after all, they had gotten really close and it was worth it, she thought if they got more intimate it would strengthen their relationship. She took her shower then headed for Layton’s room.
