After that night of my birthday, a lot changed. Like, I now knew why I was 'The Alpha', I knew Adrian and I were together for life (if we could ace whatever it was that was to target our world. Although I pray it won't happen. I Just want a peaceful life. Is it wrong to wish that? I just want us to be a normal couple without all these responsibilities.) and our parents had met and they were now pushing us to officially get married and move in together. (I loved them for suggesting that because I wanted Adrian all to myself and if we were to get married we would be... ahem!)
Was I excited about that? Oh, hell yeah! But I felt like Adrian and I had a lot to talk about before we took that step. We didn't have to be married anyway to do dual cultivation (wink). And man, was I looking forward to that?
So, this day, I invite Adrian out for dinner. I wasn't making much money because I am still a student anyway and the only part time job I had was working in the dojo, but I asked my dad for help and he gave me some cash. I wanted to take Adrian out to a place with good ambience so that we could talk freely. I wanted to get his thoughts on everything that was happening and was about to a happen.
I didn't want him to pick me up and so I arranged where we would meet at five of the evening. We met at the hotel's entrance and I'm telling you now, you have never seen something that confuses girls like two hot, handsome, gorgeous, dudes walking together. (Ha ha ha!) *ahem* It was a sight to behold and we were both dressed for it. (Although I somehow hate how they look at Adrian. He's mine you know! - pout)
We entered the restaurant and we were shown to our table. I had chosen a terrace table with a good view of the city and privacy. It was a joy to be with him here, him as in my lover (I feel jiters allover. Ahem. Yes we have dated for a while but we haven't taken that step. yet and all this feels and seems surreal.)
"So, why did you ask me out?" He asked not wasting any time. I guess he was as eager as I was.
"Is it wrong to ask my fated one, my boyfriend, the man I love, out?" I teased so as to ease the atmosphere. I also wanted to recollect and arrange my thoughts on what I wanted to say.
"No. Of late it seems you have a lot in your mind and I was waiting for you to open up. I knew you would talk when you are ready," he said and I was impressed that he knows me so well. I kept quiet as the waiter brought our food (I had ordered when I placed our booking).
I didn't know where to start because I had a lot in my mind and I didn't want him to think that I didn't love him or as if I was afraid. I was a Griffin for heaven's sake! And Kay and Kyl were quiet now that I would have loved their input. (What useless creatures!)
"Lets eat first then we can talk over desert and drinks," I said and he nodded. (He always agreed with everything and anything I said no matter how senseless by the way. I wondered if he was normal sometimes. Even when I was spoiling. for a row, he would just take it all and try soothing me after. I guess I could count myself blessed and favoured by the gods for having such a man like him in my life.)
We ate and the food was delicious. I then asked the waiters to bring desert and drinks. And that's when I knew I had to speak. I had to tell Adrian about all these emotions running through me.
"What do you think about the marriage our parents proposed?" I started.
Should I call this the defining moment?
