“Does Andrea know about Gemini?” Layton sadly accepted.
“Yes, she even paid us a visit, a really short visit.”
“I just hope she doesn’t cause any trouble you already know how she is.” Robert was right as always Andrea wouldn’t stop till she ends our relationship.
Jennifer handed Gemini a cup of alcohol and it made her uncomfortable.
“I don’t really drink.” Jennifer handed her the drink anyway.
“Come on Gem it’s my wedding day have a little fun.” She took a couple of drinks just as Jennifer said after a couple drinks Gemini found herself loving the taste and couldn’t quit. Jennifer came rushing to Robert.
“Where’s Gemini?” Layton asked as he looked around for his mate and Jennifer shrugged.
“I don’t know she ditched me and went off with some guy.” Jennifer lied. Layton hesitated he knew his mate wouldn’t do such a thing.
“What do you mean. She was with you.” Layton got a little tense and Robert tried to calm him down.
“She was drunk okay, I told her not to drink but she didn’t listen instead she ran off,” Jennifer yelled. He knew Gemini didn’t like drinking so how did she get drank.
“It’s just strange she’s never been a fan of alcohol.”
“Look Layton I’ll ask some of my men to help look for her okay,” Robert suggested but Layton refused. He looked at each corner and room but couldn’t find her, he then felt guilty that he let her out of his sight. After a long look, he finally found her, she lay on the grass a short distance away from the party and he quickly took her back home.
He carried her to her room where he laid her on the bed.
“Could you sleep with me, am a little scared.” She said in a weak voice and he did feel pity for her
“I can’t you need to get some rest.” He took her shoes and jewelry off then covered her body with her blanket.
“I just don’t want to sleep alone please.” She begged to hold his hand after a while he accepted and went under her beddings. She turned to his side and hugged him tight then began to sod.
“Am so sorry, I got too carried away and…..” She cried. Layton wiped her tears.
“It’s not your fault it’s mine, I could have watched you but I didn’t.” He wiped the other tears that fell from her cheek but he was still confused.
“Am still disappointed Gem. You promised you wouldn’t do anything stupid but you did.” The only reason why Layton took her to the party was cause she promised him she would be on her best behavior.
“I know and I accept that I messed up but I was having so much fun and I decided to try something new.” Layton sighed, he didn’t really trust Jennifer thought it was very odd that she didn’t tell him when Gemini went off.
“I know what your thinking, it wasn’t Jennifer’s fault it was mine so please don’t stop me from talking to her.” He still wasn’t going to trust her even for his mate’s sake but he was going to keep an eye on her.
“I won’t but you won’t go alone to see her and you have to understand that it is for your own good. I don’t want what happened today to happen again.” The girl weakly nodded then sniffed.
“I really miss my mom I just wish I could see her again.” Layton felt even more sorry for her since she told him that her mother had passed.
“Hey it’s okay just get some rest it’s been a long day.” She nodded. He had been tired too and just wanted some sleep. Gemini instantly got up and headed for the door which confused Layton.
“Gem what are you doing?” Gemini turned the keys several times as she usually did and Layton walked towards her.
“It’s okay am here okay nothing will happen to you.” He walked her back to the bed and held her close to him.
“I just can’t forget, I watched him die.” She said and closed her eyes. Layton did envy the way she felt about her parent’s death, it had been so long since he cried or felt deep sorrow even though people did admire his fearlessness but he missed the emotions and that’s what he liked about humans. The humans made life seem interesting and boring at the same time.
“You still never told me what happened to your parents.” She yawned and laid on his chest hearing his heartbeat. He sighed.
“I told you it’s not important and you need to rest tomorrow’s another day.” He closed his eyes.
“I just don’t know why your like this Layton you don’t open up to anyone how do you expect me to trust you when you can’t trust me.” The girl sat up straight feeling irritated, she did tell him a lot of her personal issues but he still wouldn’t trust her.
“Look if I don’t then it’s for your safety. Gem I care about you a lot and I just want you to be safe okay.” She crossed her arms.
