Not The Money

Chapter seventy-two: "Not The Money"

I set down the lovely bouquet on the space on my right on the huge table. After carefully setting it down, Cloud pulled out a chair for me to sit and I thanked him before sitting down

"Acting like a gentleman right now I see" I teased him once he sat down in front of me, his ears turned red then he cleared his throat to hide his shyness

"Do you like the view?" he asked and I turned my head to face the entire view of the city at nighttime

"Like it? I love it actually" I giggled in delight
It was amazing

He grinned "I also prepared the dinner menu to your liking"
THAT'S EVEN BETTER!

Before I knew it, 5 waitresses appeared carrying trays full of different types of food and setting them down on the table. My mouth watered at all the food in front of me

"Wait a minute...then who's watching Coco and Bun-bun?"
With everyone at Ken's house, who is watching over the two pets?

Cloud pulled out something in his pocket and it turned out to be his phone, he opened it and then showed me a picture of Coco and Bun-bun enjoying loads of food given to them by my sisters "I think they're getting a fair share of food like we are right now" he chuckled

I rested a hand on my chest and sighed in relief
Being a fur parent does have its stresses and reliefs

Me and Cloud soon dig in on the food and we chatted about any topic we could think of
We both never usually run out of topics

Once I felt full I patted my stomach

"Full already?" he raised a brow at me as he looked at my stomach

"I did eat quite a bit at Ken's home since I didn't expect we would be eating out like this"

His brows furrowed a little and he slid his hand slowly on the table to hold my hand with tenderness "I couldn't give you a good 1st anniversary, I hope this was enough to mend my mistake"

Quickly, I held his hand with both my hands and a face full of happiness "Cloud it wasn't your fault"

"Yes it was, let's be honest here Angel. I ruined our 1st anniversary"

My hand pulled his close to my lips so I could kiss his hand on the knuckles "Listen to me carefully". His eyes went from my lips then to my eyes before home nodded

I fiddled his hand "Even if we just eat at home and watch a movie like any other day, I don't mind. No matter how we celebrate our anniversary, it is only important we are together"
Sometimes, couples who go on lavish anniversary dates don't last long, I know quite a lot of those in my clan

I'm happy whatever we both do, I am not really the type to complain about wanting lavish dates like these
Like Mamita Daphne says, it is the thought that counts, not the money

Cloud held my hand firmly with his forest green eyes lit up as the candlelight made those beautiful green eyes shine "Really? You're not angry?"
Was he thinking that I am angry at him about our 1st anniversary?

I stood up and walked around the table to his side, Cloud leaned his head back to look up at me because he was still sitting on the chair. Since of course, we are still in a restaurant, I looked around if the waitresses are somewhere in the area

Once I see nobody, I cupped Cloud's face and I leaned in to kiss him. I caressed Cloud's jaw while I felt his soft lips, to be honest, his kisses were addicting

Gently, his hands made their way to hold one of my hands that was cupping his face. It was warm and I could feel some calluses

If it weren't for the fact that need to breathe also. So after a few minutes, Cloud and I pulled away so we both can breathe
