My Dearest Enemy - GeminiFourth AU

47. Reversed curse

★★★ Fourth POV ★★★

The very next day we decided to go for a little walk. I felt that I need to see the town from different perspective. Gem took a black backpack full of some candy, sweets and even sanwiches. Today we chose matching outfit, I had red hoodie and he had red pants, I had black pants and he had black top with white sweether.

“Can you promise something to me?” I asked him, looking straight into his eyes. I felt my heart racing, a horde of angry butterflies dancing in my stomach. I reached for his hand. I still felt as if I experienced it for the very first time. It was like an electric shock going through my whole body. Every touch, every look of his eyes on me, every single word spoken by his voice, made me feel more than I ever imagined one single person could feel.

“Yes, sure, teerak, what is it?”

Why did I feel like he was as excited as me? When we were only holding hands, why did everything feel so intense?

“Can you promise me that this time we’ll do everything to have a happy ending?” I said, still remembering what he told me about his visions and memories from previous lives. I had some too, but only because he had them and after we got closer and closer with each other, I started having his thoughts, his memories, I could do exactly the same gesture at the same time as him.

At the beginning it scared me. I thought I’ve lost my mind. I was afraid to tell anyone. Until one day I met Khaotung and he told me about soulmates bond. He said it has its own power. Did I just meet my soulmate? Is Gemini really my soulmate? Is it true? How could it be possible? Does it mean that we were destined to be together in every life but we failed to meet our happy ending?

“It depends what you mean by saying ‘happy ending’. Tell me, teerak, what does it mean to you?”

I loved it. I loved every time he called me ‘teerak’. It was soft and lovely. And I knew that he uses his cute voice only with me. He always made me feel special, he always made sure that I know I'm his only one and the most important.

“For me the happy ending is us growing old together and dying together at the same day, the same minute and second so no one has to miss the other one. We grow old, very old. We sit at the beach, we hold hands, look at last twilight together and we are surrounded by our family, our kids and grandkids. And we die together knowing that we don’t regret any minute since we got together. Can we do that?”

“I don’t know”, This was not the answer I wanted or expected. I thought he would promise to me to do everything for us to keep us together, instead I was met with bitter disappointment.

“Gem? Seriously? This is all you can tell me?”

“Fot…” He began to speak but I shushed him.

“No, please, I don’t want nor deserve to hear a lie. I want truth. Why can't you promise me that?”

“Because I don’t know if we’d get to live so long. Fourth, we have to be ready for everything, we probably will get chosen for kings. Do you know what Perth and his gang told me before I left them?”

“What are you talking about?” I was confused. My legs hurt and I needed to sit for a moment. We walked towards the closest bench and sat there. This bench I know Gem enchanted it to appear and I appreciate it. I needed a rest. Recently I wasn't as sporty as I used to be before. And I felt a big weight on my belly. I sat placing one hand on top of my stomach. My little one today was surprisingly quiet although sometimes I got kicked from inside. I never knew before that this is such a funny and weird feeling!

“Ok, Gem, tell me, I can bear it, truth is always better than a lie, even when it hurts. Shoot me, I’m ready”.

“Fot, teerak, are you sure, you wanna hear it?”
