"what would you name our children?" Jared asked, about two minutes later.
"child," I corrected," we're having one."
"four," he corrected back," I want four."
"one," I pressed.
"fine, three."
"no, that's too much. How will I handle three?"
"fine, two. Boy and girl."
"you can't just decide the gender they'll be," I laughed.
"sure I can. I'll give Y, you give X- how does it go-"
I smacked his arm, laughing uncontrollably," no! You got it wrong."
"But seriously, what would you name them?"
I shrugged," Jerald. For the guy? Both our names put together."
He nodded," I like that."
"And for the girl, I don't know, Em...Emed?"
"no," he chuckled," that's terrible."
"fine, you think of something!"
"uhh, Jarem?"
"no."
"Emerjed?"
"no."
"Jaremrld?"
"no Jared, you suck!" I laughed out loud.
"whatever," he dragged out the 'r'.
The food arrived about a minute later. The scent filled the atmosphere and entered through my nostrils, sending me off into a yummy heaven.
"there you go," said the waiter, placing two drinks and three plates on the table. One plate held lobster, the other held steak and the third had salad and bread," anything else?"
"no thank you," said Jared.
I dug into my lobster right away, trying to ignore the heavy feeling of Jared staring at me.
I looked up at him finally," what?"
He smiled, shaking his head," nothing."
"tell me," I whined, wiping my mouth with my napkins.
"its weird I guess, your beautiful to me even when you face it full of food and your eating like a man, I still wanna kiss you."
I frowned, trying to hide a blush," whatever. I'm hungry."
He laughed, softly," I said it's beautiful. Just proves how whipped I am."
I smiled," you better be whipped. It's easier you keep you in track."
He cut off a peice of his steak and popped it in my mouth.
"good?" he asked, right away.
"Jared, I haven't swallowed yet," I snapped, through a full mouth.
He chuckled and waited for me to finish," good?"
I nodded," very."
For the rest of the dinner, we ate, laughed and talked with each other. It was spend in blissful heaven and refreshing paradise. Simply the presence of one another washed our souls, leaving it fresh and spotless. The bright colors of the room matched with our happy mood, as we stared lovingly at each other. No matter what we did, whether it was talk, eat or laugh, our eyes remained pointed towards each other. As if a magnetic force kept them in line.
Not that I minded, his brown eyes brought on the images of pure and natural.
The sound of calm music suddenly entered our ears as we watched the couples gather around the dance floor, slow dancing.
One look into jared's eyes and I knew what he was thinking.
I nodded," yes."
He stood up and took my hand, leading me to the floor. We melded with the other couples as he placed my hands on his shoulders and his on my waist.
"I can't get used to how gorgeous you are," he whispered in my ear as we slowly rocked, causing me to shiver.
"I hope you never will,"I whispered back, placing my head on his shoulders. He kissed the top of my hair and laid his head on mines.
We soon lost ourselves and found a cloud that we claimed as ours. Our love floated around us, providing us with everything we need. I could have stayed there forever.
Gravity, I suddenly thought, Jared is my gravity.
He's the thing that's holding me down to this planet, never letting me fly away and get lost.
He's my gravity, my angel and my mate.
I couldn't have asked for anything better, and I couldn't imagine anything more romantic.
I felt jared's warm lips touching my earlobe, filling me with passion and desire.
"your my mate," I muttered," you have to be. Theres no one better for me out there."
I felt him smile against my skin," there's no one out there better for me either."
"How much do you love me, Jared," I asked, suddenly overwhelmed with Curiosity.
He laughed," what kind of question is that."
I shrugged," I'm Curious."
"well," he said, spinning us around," it can't really be put into words."
I smirked," so show me."
His finger came under my chin and lifted my lips to his. My arms came around his neck as I fell deeper into the kiss. He bit my lip, asking for entrance that i gladly gave.
We explored each others mouths for a couple of minutes, filling each other with love, passion and desire.
I pulled back, feeling breathless," you must really love me."
He chuckled, placing his forehead on mines," more than I love anyone else."
We headed back to our table after the song ended.
I looked at the time.
11:55
"Jared?" I asked, suddenly panicking.
"yeah?" he answered, his eyes twinkling.
"we have to leave. It's almost twelve and we need to get ready."
He looked up at the clock, his eyes widening.
" s**t, i shift at twelve right?"
"no, my dad said you find your mate at twelve. A couple of minutes later you'd shift."
"Still, we should leave. I don't wanna take a risk."
I nodded and watched as he called somebody for the check.
Fear bubbled inside of me again. The possibly of him not being my mate still haunted me. No, I can't let it get to me. He's my mate. I'll prove that in a couple of minutes.
I looked at the clock again.
11: 57
I reached for Jared's present under the table.
Maybe I'll have time to show it to him.
I felt someone approaching our table and looked up to see Jasmine from our school. The new girl.
"jasmine," I greeted," what a pleasant surprise."
"hi," she said, but she wasn't looking at me, instead she was watching Jared.
I felt my body immediately tense up.
As I picked up an empty plate from the table to give to her, I watched with the corner of my eye as Jared handed her the check, and their hands made contact the same time the clock struck twelve.
