The problem with Betty turning up was that it through Gio's plans in the air. He had planned to stay in Rome and open a restaurant there. Now, Betty was back in his life and he had to tell her his new plans and he dreaded it. He wanted her to be with him but he didn't want to give up his dreams either. He absolutely hated the feeling in the pit of his stomach.
They were going out for dinner that night and Gio was stunned at how good Betty looked. She was dressed in a red off the shoulder dress with a flirty skirt. This was not helping him tell her. She smelt just as good too. She had her hand linked with his and was rubbing the back of his hand. "You look beautiful!" Gio exclaimed kissing Betty gently on the cheek.
"Gio, what's wrong?" she asked as she sat down at the restaurant. He looked at her. "What do you mean what's wrong?" he said, but he saw the look she gave him and he continued, "Well… Betty I have some news. When we were apart, my five year plan kind of changed. I am planning on starting a restaurant here and am looking for somewhere to stay. If you want to stay with me you can, but I am really worried about losing you as I really love you, but I can't change my plans again. I didn't think you would want to give up your five year plan." He looked down at the table and started to play with his fork.
"Gio, I love you too. I really need to think about everything you just said, but I am sure I will make the right decision. Let's just enjoy what we have at the moment," she said grabbing his hand. He smiled, still feeling uneasy. They ordered a bottle of wine and their food. They sat and spoke about what they had been up to in the last 3 months. Everything was brilliant between them.
As they headed back to the hotel, all of Gio's worries had gone. "I love you, Gio," she said kissing him tenderly on the lips. He returned the kiss saying, "I love you B," into her mouth. She smiled as he opened the door to his hotel room and let them in. "So B, are you staying with me then?" he asked with a smirk on his face, "I always wanted to prove to you I could be a gentle lover and now I finally can." Betty smirked as she pounced on him. "Maybe I don't want you to be gentle," she said biting on his lip and pushing him onto the bed.
