Secrets In The Shadows

XVI

Capricorn came back to the party after having a little fun with her darling. She sat down at the table while lunch was being served.

"Someone's late." Libra raised an eyebrow.

She gave a smile while dabbing her mouth, making sure there wasn't anything left over.

"You gonna get food?"

"I'm not hungry anymore." She said while catching Aries' eye as he walked past. He looked a little bit out of it, most people are after being bit. His clothes and hair were messed up and he still looked like he was blushing.

"So cute." Capricorn giggled to herself.

"Ew? Stop smiling to yourself, it's creepy." Libra said.

"Oh be quiet."

"You smell...different." Libra squinted.

Capricorn's eyes widened. She didn't expect his scent to transfer to her.

"W-what? No I don't." She struggled to keep her composure.

Libra squinted in suspicion and looked around to see who she was looking at.

"You're meeting someone in secret aren't you?"

"No!" She argued.

"Oooo I'm going to tell Aquarius." He snickered.

"Stop being a five year old." She scoffed and stabbed the steak on her plate to make a statement.

Libra didn't flinch. He was used to all her empty threats and just leaned back in his chair, smiling.

"You're so annoying you know that?" She glared.

He shrugged and took a sip of champagne.

"Libra!" Gemini came hopping over.

Libra gave a panicked look at her, noticing Capricorn's lip curl into a smile.

"Umm...hey." He laughed nervously and cleared his throat.

"We have to go now so I just wanted to say goodbye to you." She tilted her head and grinned.

Although Libra wanted to hug her goodbye, he felt Capricorn's eyes burning into him.

"Bye." He said shortly and coldly.

Gemini frowned at the response. They were flirting hard beforehand and she wondered what got into him. She looked straight into his eyes and noticed them flitting back towards Capricorn. She was smart enough to understand what he meant, even though she didn't like it. Gemini bit the inside of her cheek, holding back any flirty comments she had planned to make to keep him wanting for her. She thought on her feet and turned towards Capricorn.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have the perfect figure for dancing?" She doted.

"What? Me?"

Libra was intrigued with what she was doing.

"It's really hard for even dancers to get such a slim body without serious dieting and exercise."

"O-oh." Capricorn was enjoying the compliments.

"I came over to say goodbye AND invite you to one of my dance workshops." She made up.

Gemini had never held a dance workshop in her life and now she would have to figure out how to arrange one.

"You're inviting just us?" Capricorn looked at Libra.

"Just keep it between you and me but I think you two are the best suited for dancing in your family." She whispered.
