100 Days With Mr Romero

Emma turned to Gideon with her perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised. She walked closer to him.

“Why did you do that for? ” she aksed him.

Gideon immediately grinned at Emma and looked left. She began to smile and Gideon didn’t notice her.

“I just saved your life ma’am. ” Gideon said.

“What? ” blurted Emma and she giggled.

Then she bursted out laughing and Gideon smiled. He loved the way she was laughing. He missed the sound of her laughter.

“I miss this. ” Gideon told her staring directly into her eyes.

“I miss our usual fun filled banter. ” he said and Emma nodded.

She missed it too.

“You remember how I helped you fix your tie that day? ” began Emma.

“I do. ” agreed Gideon with a nod.

“I was so tensed and that I day if u recall, I was to sign a huge partnership with DIVINE whiskey. ” recollected Gideon.

“You were so restless that you forgot how to fix a tie instantly. ” Emma reminded him and bursted out laughing.

“The whole Gideon Romero couldn’t fix his tie. ” she joked.

“Shh! ” countered Gideon placing a finger on his lip.

“Yea and you helped me and then you’ve been teasing with that all my life. ” he said and grinned.

Emma was still laughing.

“Well you ridicule me once in a while too Gideon. ” she told him.

He smiled and nodded.

“Do you still sleep with the lights on or you are scared of ghosts. ” he said.

“The whole C. E. O of LIA’S bars. ” is afraid of the dark. he said almost screaming.

“Maybe I should get a microphone. ” he hinted laughing at her.

“Come on. Stop that. ” she said laughing.

“You always told me you’ll take me back to pre_school when I missed Ryan’s sum once. ” she said.

“Do you remember? ” she demanded.

“Yea. ” Gideon replied with a smile.

“I hope you don’t miss the numbers when making business transactions. ” he said.

“Who fixed this tie for you? ” she said pointing towards his tie.

Gideon smiled and replied.

“Oh come on you want to start that now?”

“I actually missed this. ” confessed Gideon again.

Emma smiled sadly. They were silent for a while until Gideon broke the comfortable silence.

“Do you really hate me? ” he asked .

“No. ” Emma replied shaking her head.

“I don’t. ” she professed.

Gideon instantly felt light and he smiled at her. He was feeling very happy. Did Emma just say she doesn’t hate him? He asked himself.

“Ladies and Gentleman. ” the host called out returning back to the stage.

“Music is art and so is dance. Remember we are here to celebrate art therefore, let us dance. ” he said then bowed and left the stage.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

A slow music immediately began playing in the museum hall.

Gideon stretched out his right hand to Emma.

“Can I dance with you? ” he requested.

Emma hesistantly placed her hands in Gideon’s and they began dancing.

Emma’s mind drifted to thier wedding day. That was the first time she danced with Gideon. When they were asked to dance that day, Emma lamented to Gideon stating how she couldn’t dance and Gideon was surprised.

“Follow my lead and let my body guide you. ” he had told her.

She remembered that day and smiled.

“Why are you smiling. ” Gideon asked her while they were slowly swinging from side to side.

“I remembered the first time we danced.” she revealed.

Gideon smiled and said

“Do you want to thank me for teaching you how to dance years ago? ” he joked.

Emma smiled and slightly pinched his back. He smiled and turned her around.

“Do you remember the first time we visited Florida? ” Gideon asked her when she had turned facing him.

“Of course. The first time we visited your mother. ” she replied.

“Your mom told me to my face at the gala that she wasn’t sure if I could dance amongst the crowd. ” narrated Emma.

“She’s a cruel woman. Don’t take her seriously was your reply. ” continued Emma.

“I remember. ” Gideon nodded and smiled.

“But we did give her a show. I remember the crowd cheering and giving us a standing ovation. ” said Gideon with his hands on Emma’s waist.

“Yea we were the talk of the gala that night. The power couple. ” recollected Emma.

“You should have seen my mother’s reaction when we were making those moves. ” Gideon said.

“She’s your mother. Don’t make fun of her. ” Emma warned him with a smile.

Gideon couldn’t take his eyes off Emma while they were dancing. He couldn’t remember feeling happy as he was feeling at the moment. She lifted her head and smiled at him.

Emma on the other hand was feeling relieved as Gideon held her. She could feel her resentment towards him fading away. When he turned her around and she twirled, she felt a wave of peace hovering around them and she smiled.

Gideon suddenly felt the need to apologize to Emma.

“I’m so sorry Emma. “he apologized while they were still dancing.

“I’m deeply sorry for everything I made you go through. ” he pleaded staring directly into her eyes.

“I can’t make up for the lost times. I just wish you can forgive me. Please don’t be mad at me Emma. ” he begged.

“It’s fine Gideon. ” Emma replied lowering her eyes.

Gideon was so happy. He smiled brightly.

“You’ve forgiven me? ” he asked finding it difficult to believe what he heard from Emma.

“Yes Gideon. We are cool. ” Emma confirmed and nodded.

“To new beginnings and friendship. ” declared Gideon.

Emma smiled and nodded.

Then the music stopped playing. The crowd clapped and cheered.

“Thank You ladies and gentlemen. ” appreciated the host.

Then a man walked into the museum and stood by the corner. He was wearing an overall black jacket and a hat covered his face. He was putting on dark glasses. His whole attention was fixed on Gideon and Emma who were dancing.
