He was sitting with his coffee mug in his hand, eyeing her up and down as she made her way to him with a smile so wide it made her face radiant. Luigi smiled back at her, setting the half-finished coffee mug down and leaned in just when she leaned into him to kiss his lips lovingly. His cheeks flushed. Her own were instantly on fire. They both smiled into the kiss before breaking it. She took her seat next to him, pushing her chair closer to his.
"As beautiful and breathtaking as ever", Luigi exclaimed, never taking his eyes off of her.
"You're one to talk, Mister Largo!" The girl retorted, taking his hand. "Are you finished with your coffee, darling?" She asked in a more relaxed tone.
Luigi smiled and nodded taking a last big gulp of his coffee, then got up. His thumb stroked her hand during. The gesture made her chuckle as she followed him.
"I have the best surprise for you tonight, babe", he said, placing a kiss on her temple and pulling her closer to him as they were leaving the GeneCo lobby.
"Really now? I wonder what it is!"
"I'm afraid you will have to wait and see, pretty face", he said with a teasing wink.
The couple got outside and a cold breeze made her shiver. Luigi immediately took off his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. He got rewarded with a soft kiss on his lips and a tight hug to his side. He loved her so much! She was for him. He knew it.
Jennifer was brunette with blonde highlights, a few inches shorter than Luigi, thin as a stick but strong. Yet, she gave off a vibe that she had to be protected. She was six years younger than him. Pavi's age, Luigi had thought the first time he heard it. He pushed the thought of his younger brother out of his brain, not willing to let it spoil the stunning sight of the young girl in front of him. There they were now, two years later, in a relationship nobody would had ever guessed for Luigi ever. For the first time in his life he felt complete. He felt content and happy. His temper was in full control; he didn't feel like he had anything to get mad at. he felt like he was flying up in the clouds.
Her voice brought him back to reality. He shook his head as if to wake up and gazed at Jennifer adoringly. "Babe", she called out again, smiling up at him. She loved to see his smile and happy eyes. She knew all about Luigi Largo and she knew what she was getting into when she started dating him. But surprisingly, their relationship had changed him so much that she couldn't believe her luck to be with him. "I will have to get to my apartment to get ready for our date tonight", she reminded him.
He smiled and cleared his throat. "This is where I will take you, we have around... 2 hours until our date. Are they enough?" he teased her and she lauhed.
"More than enough, handsome", she got in his car - a black, perfectly polished Jaguar - after he opened the passenger's door for her. He joined her in the driver's seat and took off to her place.
Hours went by as if they were seconds. Luigi got dressed in his finest suits, shoes and his hair was slicked back and flawless. He felt the air leaving his lungs for good when she appeared at the entrance of the building her apartment was. She was stunning. She wore a black, slim dress that hugged her body gracefully, underlying her breast deliciously. Black high-heels, hair pulled back in a ponytail with strands of curls framing the sides of her face.
Luigi gulped and he opened the door of his car, walking around it. He extended an arm for her and when she took it, he gently kissed her hand. His eyes shone.
"You... you look your best, precious", he said breathlessly.
She batted her long eyelashes and blushed. Her smile was breathtaking. "You look even more mesmerizing, my handsome Luigi." They shared a kiss before getting in the car, after he held the door open for her. He did the same when they reached the restaurant their date would take place at. He got out of the car first and opened the door for her. She got out with a grin.
Their dinner was one of the best dates the couple had shared. But nothing could prepare Jennifer for the surprise Luigi had for her in the end. As a violinist walked to them, playing a love tune they both loved, the Largo heir reached in his internal pocket of his jacket, taking a small black velvet box out of it.
Jennifer's expression changed from a smile to one of full surprise. "My darling Jennifer", Luigi started, "From the first time I saw you I knew you would be special. But nothing could prepare me for how much special you would be for my dark heart. You gave me something I had lost all hope in finding. Love. Support. Trust. My dream is to have this for ever. I have nothing else to ask in life. You are the most important thing in my life... My dearest Jennifer... Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" His cheeks were flushed, a few drops of sweat stricked down his forehead as he waited for her answer.
Jennifer was lost for words. Her eyes got teary, a surprised sound left her lips echoing through her hands that covered her mouth. "Luigi..." she breathed, taking her hands off her lips. A tear escaped her and a grin made its way to her face. "My darling Luigi... Y-yes, my darling! Yes, I will gladly be your wife!" Jennifer couldn't believe it when she saw Luigi himself tearing up, gently taking her hand and sliding a gorgeous platinum ring adorned with a single ruby on top of it on her finger before placing a soft kiss on it. The couple shared a passionate kiss on the lips. Luigi's heart was pounding in his chest. He was grinning so much he felt his cheeks hurting after a while but he didn't pay any attention to it. He couldn't not grin. Jennifer was doing the same.
"Thank you! Thank you, my beautiful wife-to-be!"
He could barely believe it. They would get married. At last, happiness. Real happiness. He felt it that night, after the couple shared some intimate time together in his bed up in GeneCo. Tomorrow he would announce their engagement publically. He couldn't wait for it. After round number four with his gorgeous fiancee, Luigi fell back on the pillows of his king size bed, panting and smiling. Jennifer licked her lips and slithered on his torso, reaching his neck where she kissed and nibbled, spent and exhausted. Luigi felt his eyes getting heavy. He had one arm wrapped around her and he kept her close as he felt her moving less and less as she was falling asleep on his neck, her lips touching the tender skin. His last thought before everything went black and oblivion overtook him was their future. How tomorrow would be the first day of the rest of his life. The life he deserved. Happiness. Joy. At last. No more misery.
