Chapter Thirteen
The anxiety I felt when we strolled in to the beautiful building almost could suffocate me, I was so anxious that I held Gale's hand tight.
I was finally going to see the kind of apartment we would be living in together, and the fact that it came from Gale's heart made it more precious and dear to my heart as well.

We used the elevator and reached the fifteenth floor immediately, stepping out we continued to walk down the hallway until were standing in front of the penthouse's door.
They were only two mahogany doors on this floor.
Gale looked down at me and raised his hand pinching my nose playfully " close your eyes " he whispered and I twitched my head to the side in confusion, he wore a small smile.
It's just a penthouse why do I need to close my eyes? Though that question crossed my mind I didn't ask that out loud and just did as he asked.
As soon as my eyes were closed I had him swipe and put in a password then the door unlocked, at that time I was asked to open my eyes and I slowly opened them.
The whole house was dark but lit up from the door with blue candles placed on each side of the door making a beautiful way for me with white rose petals covering everywhere I was supposed to stand.

I gasped before looking up at Gale, in a very beautiful way he managed to make blue and white so romantic without a single red, I never thought he would remember that I hate red especially during times like these.
" Gale, this .." I whispered not knowing exactly what to say to this, he ushered me to continue inside and I did, for real I was in for a romantic night.
I removed my shoes and my feet embraced the beautiful feather surface of flowers as I walked inside following the trail of candles and flowers, my eyes became teary seeing all this. No one had ever made me feel this special and gone through the hustle to make me smile.
I stared at the candle light dinner arranged on the floor in the middle of the room and I giggled through tears that couldn't stop flowing, Two arms wrapped around my waist from behind bringing me in to a comforting warmth.

Pink candles were arranged in a heart shaped with a white fluffy carpet in the middle and two well covered plates with a see through jug of homemade apple juice, every thing was done according to my favourite and I appreciated.
" How about dinner in our new house before moving in the new furniture and then us " he whispered in my ear sending shivers down my spine. I turned around in his arms hugging this man tight, I don't know how many times I had to thank him for loving me so much, for not judging me by my past but loving the me.
He made me want to wake up every day to see him
He made me dream of the future with him.
"Thank you so much love, this is beautiful " I whispered pulling away, I walked in to the candle shaped heart placing my bag on the floor I saw Gale walk forward and sit down then grabbed my wrist before pulling me forward and I stumbled on to his lap.
My arms locked around his neck and he pulled me more close to him by my waist. I stared at the man I love, this man that loved me this much. I never knew that there will be a person that will love me this much and I promised my self to love him.
I stole a light kiss from him before pulling away. " How was your first day today " I whispered pulling the jug forward and pouring some juice in a glass.
" it was perfect and I had an operation today and it was successful " he replied as I took a sip of the juice before turning to him and handing him the glass which he took and drank the juice.
I pulled the plate forward and knew that we are going to share another plate, I grabbed a fork and I stared at him. I raised the fork to my lips and I tasted the lasagna he had cooked and it was so beautiful. We chatted on as I fed him and me, everything seemed to flow very fine but not in my mind nor in his. I knew he still held the pain of having had a fight with his only relative and I was in fear after talking to Rebecca, deep in me something told that she would stop at nothing until Gale marries her if she was the girl he was supposed to marry in the first place.
I wanted to know if Gale knew that Rebecca was the girl he was arranged to marry, what if he knew? Is this the reason why he was avoiding her name like a plague, he knew from the beginning and avoided her because he loved me. He even never gave face to the famous Kenneth and not even talked or asked about him, it was like in Gale's eyes Kenneth didn't exist.
In all this I realised that Gale knew so much and was simply keeping me in the dark knowing especially Rebecca's true colours, that's why he didn't even look back when leaving his father's house and hospital. It was far better than marrying a woman who can't even think twice before turning her back on her own best friend yet she still pretends to care for me.
What hurt most is that I trusted her so much and now she was throwing that trust back in my face. " Babe " Gale whispered pulling my hair out of the tight burn that it fell down my shoulders gracefully. I realised I had zoned off in a wild tunnel of thoughts that never ended.
I placed the plate back on the floor and turned to Gale " Can you give me your phone please?" I asked and his face displayed confusion but he didn't say anything else and slowly reached out for his jean pockets then handed the phone to me.
I gave him a smile then checked his speed dial and found his mom's number, I dialled it and it went through, Gale looked at me as I handled the phone to him. " Rather than swallowing your pain, talk to her she still cares " I whispered and he looked at the phone then at me.
" she won't pick up, I have tried that multiple times " he replied and he was right. I tried again and she ignored the phone. I realised she won't take it so I did the only thing that came to my mind.
I reached out for my hand bag and searched through for my phone and I grabbed It and dialled the number using my phone, it went through and she picked up after the second ring, I handed the phone to Gale and he took it nervously placing it on his ear " Mom " He whispered and I knew what to do. I picked up the plates and glasses and moved towards the direction he pointed to. I pushed the door open and realised this is my would be kitchen.
I looked around after placing the plates on the counter, everything hadn't been placed yet but it's beauty couldn't be denied especially the window that looked all over the city, it looked beautiful with the open sky and the city lights and building lights, now I knew why people love this place.
This was so beautiful.
I wondered how it would look when it's completely furnished especially that now empty house was this pretty. I turned towards the door when I had footsteps behind me.
" Gale " I whispered as I pushed strands of my dark hair behind my ear, I wanted to know how talking to his mom went but I didn't know how to ask. He saw my expression and understood me without asking more. " It was more worse, I don't think she will ever accept us " He whispered and I knew. The one thing about Gale is that he states facts weather it hurts or not and truly this hurt.
I at least know where I stand but deep down I would stop at nothing until she accepts me and finds me worthy of Dr Gale Hilton.
" I see " I whispered leaning against the counter and realising a sigh, in actual sense it was little hard to take in that the mother of a man I love really despised me.
I watched Gale as he stood in front of me, I slowly looked up and he was giving me a small smile that touched my heart, he was silently telling me that everything will be fine.
I held out my hand and he held it, stepping on tip toes I placed a kiss on his lips. I didn't stand back when he deepened it turning it in to something more.
My heart beat harder for him, his arms wrapped around my waist pulling me more close, I held on to his shirt as my moan was muffled by the depth of his tongue. I don't know how my coat landed to the floor or how my shirt got untucked.
The feeling of his naked touch on my bare skin got me shivering with a gasp.
He stroked my skin light, igniting a passion deep in me, I knew where all this was going and I didn't stop it. I loved him this much and had given him my heart so what was wrong with giving him my body.
Things started to go far between us and none of us stopped it, we let our bodies lock together forever, I became his first as he was mine three days in our relationship and on the floor of our new home.
This was really going to leave an impact on my brain every time I will look at the middle of our home. Even though this marked the reality of our relationship in our minds I knew that to many people around us this was going to be nothing but all in all I knew I had to trust him more than life it self or else I may fall into many traps.
Gale marking me as his will make many people fight hard to break that but I was truly ready to fight for him, I never loved before but now that I do, my determination back then will be part of me even now, these people haven't known who they are dealing with especially bees like Rebecca that swarm around my man.
I marked my man for tonight in my amateurism I vowed to myself to stay by him and fight for us, I made multiple promises to him, chanting how much I love him hoping that one day he would understand that my love for him was more like stupidity and madness, Did I love too much and was it really necessary at the moment but this Gale also loved me this much. How could I even doubt someone that left his father's house and went against his mom for me, a person that left his designed place as heir to the hospital for me and now his moving in with me.
There is no way I would let any one take him away from me.
We laid together on the carpet we had sat on while having diner, his arms still wrapped my naked body that was covered with our clothes, I wanted to now ask about Rebecca but stopped truly that girl was not worthy it at all.
And what about Kenneth did he really know all about Rebecca's plans or was he just being used?
