“You finally have the confidence to talk cause Layton’s here? That won’t stop me from talking. No one here likes you so please do us a favor and just leave!!” Andrea pointed at the door and Gemini couldn’t help but cry, she didn’t know that someone could have so much hate for her. She ran out of the building with tears in her eyes.
Layton watched as Gemini ran out of the restaurant and he hated to see her cry. He ran towards Gemini just to comfort her.
“Hey, it’s okay.” Gemini cried even more and Layton pulled her to his chest.
“It’s alright, you don’t have to cry.” Gemini whipped her tears off.
“Am sorry. I’m just so emotional sometimes.” She dried her tears again.
“Andrea doesn’t deserve to see your tears.” Gemini nodded. She didn’t deserve to see her tears. After a long talk, Gemini finally agreed to go back to the restaurant and Andrea was still there.
“Andrea why are you still here!?” Layton growled.
“Am not leaving till she leaves,” Andrea yelled. Layton’s anger rose before Andrea could talk she received a painful blow from Layton and stumbled to the ground shocked. Everyone gasped, Layton went on and Gemini feared that he would kill her. She was a little scared she had never seen this side of Layton before.
“Layton stop!” Gemini held him back as she tiered.
“She insulted you Gem.” She accepted but she didn’t like seeing this side of him.
“I know but you don’t have to do this. ?” Layton eased his tension when he saw the fear in her eyes. The girl walked to some close by the woman and gave her money.
“Please call a doctor.” The woman nodded.
“And tell me if anything goes wrong.” The woman nodded again and rushed off. She walked back to Layton then held his arm.
“Let’s go home, I just don’t feel comfortable here,” Gemini said getting her purse. Layton nodded and they left the building. Once they got home Gemini couldn’t talk as she was disappointed. She knew that he was only doing it for her but she didn’t enjoy seeing men hit women the way he did.
“Gem are you okay?” Layton held her arm and pulled her towards him.
“Am okay am just a little…” The girl sighed then smiled.
“I just didn’t like the way she talked to you.” He scratched his head.
” I know but you didn’t have to hit her especially in front of everyone.” Gemini looked away.
“As I said I couldn’t watch her insult and embarrass you in front of everyone.”
“Lay, of course, she did insult me but you weren’t supposed to hit her like that, you could have killed her.” Layton just didn’t understand what he did wrong he thought she was supposed to be somehow happy.
“I just don’t get what I did wrong.” Gemini couldn’t imagine what he said to her, she thought he was completely heartless.
“You can’t hit women like that Lay maybe it’s normal for you but for me, it’s somehow heartless.” Layton paused, he had no problem hearing other people say those names to him but it coming from his mate kind of heart him. He looked away and Gemini noticed his sudden change of mood.
“Am sorry.” The girl jumped she didn’t expect him to apologize she then felt somewhat guilty.
“You didn’t have to apologize, I just hate it when I see men hit women.” Layton understood then smiled.
“I’ll be in the living room if you need me.” Gemini nodded then left.
Layton sat on the couch and turned the TV on and thought to himself, he was in complete anger that particular time but the thought of her calming him down got him confused. He smiled to himself, she was the only girl who made him feel this way and let alone make him apologize not even Andrea could make him feel guilty. He didn’t understand why he fell head over heels for Gemini after all she was just an ordinary girl. He turned the TV off then headed for his bedroom. Gemini made her way to her room to get dressed the went to Layton.
“Hey I was wondering if I could go out shopping, I need more clothes.” Layton nodded.
“Make sure Strider accompanies you alright.” Gemini accepted but she didn’t go with him instead she went alone.
She made her way through the clothes and picked up some clothes on the way when she spot Jennifer.
“Jen wait can we talk,” Gemini yelled out and Jennifer turned.
“I thought I told you not to talk to me.” Gemini frowned.
“Look Jen I don’t know what I did wrong.” Jennifer laughed.
“I didn’t expect you to. Your disgusting Gemini Burn and here I thought your mother raised you well.” Gemini got a little angry.
“You can say all you want about me Jen but you will not talk trash about my mother!” Jennifer walked closer to her and Gemini tries to cool herself down.
“How many lies will you tell me and everyone. I can’t imagine you would do that Gem, after everything I told you…. I thought you were my friend!!” Gemini couldn’t understand what she was saying.
“Jen calm down let’s seat and talk.”
“Am not sitting with you plus I’ve got places to be and things to do.”
