She almost jumped up from his lap with his pleading and harsh no and she looked at him and immediately pulled him closer and held him. "I am not going anywhere." She felt like it was much more about completely leaving him, breaking up and leaving but she was just making assumptions because he felt so bad about himself and she would not want that. She let him nuzzle close to her and she would hum and brush through his hair as if he was a little boy. She always felt that close contact and the like would give the other the love, tender and care that they needed and she was just trying to make this tender atmosphere where he felt loved and good about himself. She was glad to hear him hum with her when she changed the melody and kissed his forehead when he looked up at her. She smiled in their kiss and just made sure he was doing okay. Where she thought she build up something good, she noticed him stuttering and stammering, wondering what was going on.
She felt horrible for what he said, it had never been her intention nor did she had the slightest idea what issues had been brought up to him. Oh how she hated it that her insecurity and her uncertainty lead to this. So she suggested to do both, he would accept her no and she would try to tell him more. She loved him more than anything in the world at this point in time, she did not want him to feel bad because she wasn't sure what to tell. She would tell him he did not make her feel like she had to talk to him out of gealt, she wasn't sure what to say at all. They would work it out together and that would be for the best. "Yea, I am sure we can." She rubbed her nose against his shortly, "But I am sure biology classes aren't the most interesting part of my job."
She blushed when he kissed her after his confession and she felt like she was finally in a place where she belonged. Surely that meant their relationship still shouldn't go too fast and she should say if things bothered her but she loved him and this was going great. Her job worked out, she was still alive after a kidnapping and she had someone who cared about her a lot. "You are still the man who saved me, by the way, so you are not useless at all. Just be careful, I don't want other women to steal you." It was a bit of the truth, a bit of a tease and a bit of a reassuring concept and she hoped she was doing all fine with it. "Okay, so let's go to the kitchen and see if we can make a pie or something." The usefulness of being the girlfriend of a chef was that he had so many things at home for them to use as fresh ingredients. It was wonderful.

He was so glad to se that she was not going anywhere. He doesnt want her to leave. Not ever. He loved her love that she was giving. She felt so motherly. He loved her touch, her love, her tenderness, her scent. Everything really. In their moment of silence they hummed together and eventually in unison. Complienting eachothers hum. The two kissed, but eventually he had to get his feelings off his chest and speak. Once she heard him out, she spoke her part. The two decided to work it out together. Nimue reassured him that she was sure they can. She rubbed her nose against his and that made him smile. Nimue then said that she doubts that biology classes are interesting to him. To which Giovanni tried to joke about that saying "Oh dear. I am very interested in the female biology~" which was good as she was cherering him up
The two kissed and Nimue blushed when she heard what he said prior to said kiss. Giovanni was glad things were fully resolved with Nimue as he felt that yesterday didnt quite finish things. Now they resolved it. He was amazed how this impacted him. He was so emotionally attached and inlove with Nimue that he couldnt imagine a single argument or misunderstanding. He'd give his life for her.... well.... within reason.
Nimue spoke touching words how he was still the man who saved her and that he aint useless. But to be careful as she doesnt want other women to steal her. She teased, Giovanni chuckled "Nonsense. No one can steal me. Anyone who tries is a vulture that wants money. They are not like you" he kissed her cheek and her forehead.
She then urged them to go to kitchen to make pie or something. Giovanni requested "Honey... may I watch you cook. I'm just scared that since Im a bit out of it still that I might cut myself and well... I love watching you" he said

The doctor got slightly worried as he seemed to be worrying about her leaving. "Darling?" She kept in the same system, talking about first asking his attention and then explaining, "I will never leave you because of these concerns, alright? I want to help you, support you and I love you, I am glad you talk to me about this." She would softly touch his, brush his hair and so on and just make sure that he shouldn't be afraid of that at all. The humming was making her calm down a little and she would hold him and just smile in the kiss he gave her or he replied to. Softly, tender and careful. She would continue to help him, speak about her and the work they did and how she would explain it to him, she had to laugh when he joked as a reply to her biology comment and she kissed his nose. "Maybe I will take you on a little trip for biology one day." It would be a funny thing as a joke and who knows what she could do for biology one day and take another trip with the students with a chaperone, he could fit... or distract her there were too many questions.
She was oblivious to the bad thoughts he had, to the internal tumolt that went through his mind. She wasn't sure and yet she held him, felt something in his body language that he was struggling and she held him and just made sure he was doing okay for now. "Pff, I am sure there are others like me, but don't think about it." She softly pushed her index finger against his forehead. "You can only think about me." She laughed as he was teasing her and kissed her cheek and forehead. "Hm, now that you say it, I should abuse your money, just because I can." She stuck out her tongue and got up. To go make a pie and she was asked if he could watch her. "Hmm, sure but you have to help me. I am not as good as you are." She would pull him slightly though out of the chair and held his hand while she walked to the kitchen. "I think we could make a lemon pie." That was an idea right, they had lemons that they would use for the water and they had all the other things to make the dough. This was going splendid.

She was such a gentle sweetheart and he loved her. Her warm words brightened him up. He wasnt as down as he was. And they even managed to joke. He made her laugh and to his surprise she said she mght take him on a biology trip one day. Giovanni wasnt sure whether its a joke or not. But he'd love it
"Oh honey. I'd love that~" he said and kissed her
Nimue still held him and he held onto her. He loved her and was inseperable from her. They spoke more and then Nimue said that there are bound to be others like her, but not to think about it as he can only think about her. She laughed as they teased eachother. Nimue tease that maybe she should abuse his money, because she can
Giovanni grabbed her and started to violently.... tickle her. Tickle tickle sweetie pie~ "Oh? Are ya now? Well, dont you know? Conspiracy to use my funds without my allowance is punishable by tickle!" He said as he tickled her. And thus after a bit of goofing off, the two would decide to go make pie Giovanni asked if he can sit and watch as he didnt really feel he can cook just yet. Nimue pulled him along slightly to get him up and said that he has to help as she is not good as he
"Nonsense. You can you do if I hand hold you. The most I can do is oversee and tell you" he told her as he encouraged her to be more independent
Together now they walked to the kitchen and arrived there. Giovanni leaned on the kitchen counter to rest and crossed his arms as he looked at her. Nimue asked if he thinks they can make lemon pie. Giovanni nodded "Si"
They could make it. Well she can.

The most important part of her activity and her life was trying to be positive, this was very difficult at some times. Especially when they took her father, kidnapped herself and so on. But she would go on, her issue was a lot of things but she wanted to not blame the world and think bad of it. Surely moments like this, Giovanni's breakdown that hurt her. She wished she could do more for him but there wasn't a way and that bothered her. God she wanted to ask him if this was good enough and what she could do better but not now. Maybe later, one day.
Most important was she managed to make him laugh and let him kiss her. Their conversation surely would be fine this way. It would mean there were ways to improve and it was still possible to make it better, lucky her. The teasing did not stop, making him feel important and loved was her goal. She tried to tease more, hoping it would go well and she had to laugh a lot, scream softly when he tickled her. Good God he was amazing and she laughed and laughed and asked him to stop. When he finally did they would get up to the kitchen.
She would approve of him sitting close next to her and watch. So she would make the dough first, which was fun and he could help with mixing it and she offered him a lick of it from her finger. Then she would squeeze the lemons, get some of the skin and the whipped cream to make the filling and then it would have to go into the oven for about fourty minutes. "What do we do now?" She did not want to leave him, or for him to go back to work, no distraction was what he needed.

Together now they walked to the kitchen and arrived there. Giovanni leaned on the kitchen counter to rest and crossed his arms as he looked at her. Nimue asked if he thinks they can make lemon pie. Giovanni nodded and said that yes they could make it. Well she can. And so Nimue would make the dough first, which was fun to her. She insisted that he help and so he did with a bit of mixing. She offered him to get a lick of it from her finger. Which he gladly did. He watched as she would squeeze the lemons, get some of the skin and the whipped cream to make the filling and then it would have to go into the oven for about fourty minutes. She then asked what do they do now, since the thing is in the oven for 40 minutes.
Giovanni thought for a moment and then remembered
"Say... what made you come to my office? Did you need something?" he asked. He didnt know she was bringing him something. Honestly he didnt know anything. He wanted to make sure she had anything she needed. He would feel bad if she needed something only for him to distract her with his stupid stupidness and stupidity. He shook his head, no no. He shouldnt think that way. He needed to deal and he needed to distract himself. But he didnt know even himself what to do? Clean up? Watch TV? Listen to music? Play card games. Maybe that can be interesting. Ok, that worked. He already thought if she knew how to play poker. That thought made him smile. Or especially if she didnt know how to play so he can teach her and then just wipe the floor and beat her easily. Now that would be eye candy

First, they would make the pie, where Giovanni would just help a little bit. Eventually, she would have to ask for a stool or chair because she couldn't stand so long after the week of being hurt. Her pretty legs would never be the same as the scars would remain there. The life of a hero basically, right? Still, with a high chair she was able to make the dough together and whip the filling together as well, lemon zest, lemon juice, whipped cream, it looked very pretty and she was rather happy with the result and would see if it worked to bake it. She hoped it was not that often that she made it and it was on top of her head and was she forgetting something? They added the sugar, the lemons, the whipped cream and the eggs, a bit of flour and a bit of vanilla sugar, she did not know what she possibly could forget. She would look up when they were done and he came to ask her why she was there?
"Oh well considering I had nothing to do, I made you ehm... tea. It's still there." Right she had put the tray on the cabinet next to the door and had forgotten it completely. Must be cold by now. Stupid, how could she forget something so easy... well there was a good explanation for it for sure. Hm, what to do about it now. "How are you feeling now?" She had not given him the aspirin in the end and she wondered how he mentally felt about himself. The conversation was cut short but as they had a bit of time to distract him from it, she wondered if she could ask now and maybe have a little bit more talk about it. She needed to make sure he was doing okay.

When Nimue asked for a stool or a chair, Giovanni complied and brought a chair over to her so she can sit and rest. Once she sat she was able to make the dough together and whip the filling together as well. He watched her and adored how happy she was. She looked proud of what she was making. Once she was done, she ask what do they do now. Giovanni curiously asked what did she do back there. Why did she arrive in the office.
He listened to Nimue when she said she had nothing to do, so she made him tea, that was still there. Nimue asked how is he feeling now. He then kissed her on the cheek. "Thanks to you. I feel good" he told her and stroked her hair. He then walked behind her and kneeled down to hug her and rest his chin on her shoulder. "So... question indeed.... what do we do now?" he asked her own question back at her.
Giovanni did not mind doing something distracting. He had several ideas infact, his question was rhetorical and yet not. He wanted to see what she would say. But he already had an idea in mind "Darling. How are you at poker?~" he asks as he whispers in her ear. He has cards. They can do that to pass the time. Usually they draw or something else. They never played card games. And those are excellent time passers as well as fun. Plus, Giovanni did not mind if Nimue didnt know how to play poker. It would be in his benefit. If there is anything that would make him smile. Its Nimue losing to him in poker, because that would be quite the sight to see. Granted, he didnt need poker to see her. But that was just more fun.

It was sometimes hard to consider what she had gone through, and how she would be able to go on and stay positive and so on. She was trying very hard but her legs hurt from standing too long. She would just work with the dough and the whipped cream and would just work with his advice and work on everything that she could to make the lemon pie. It was an interesting thing to do for sure. So while they were done with the lemon pie and it needed to be in an oven. They would just talk about why she came to the office and she asked if he was doing okay. She would just let him kiss her cheek and just smiled at him while he said he felt good, he stroked her hair. She would let him hug her and put his head on her shoulder. She wondered what to do indeed and stuck out her tongue. "I asked that first." But she thought about it.
Nothing was coming to mind, she wasn't sure what to do. "Poker? She had no idea and she did not know how to play it but card games might be fun. "I don't know but maybe you can teach me?" She would see where they would go, would they play here or in the living room?

He asked the question back at her and she stuck out her tongue and playfully said that she asked first. He smiled, it was not an energetic happy smile, but a more relaxed and mellow one. A soft and gentle smile. He let her think for a moment. But soon he asked about poker. Nimue soon repeated the word poker. He nodded "Mhm" and walked over to a drawer and took out a set of cards.
He walked back to her as he shuffled the deck of cards in his hand "SOooo, fun fact. I do love me some card games. I swear, if you didnt exist. I'd be addicted to them" in otherwords, he is addicted to her and not to smoking and gambling. Nimue said she didnt know Poker, but said that maybe he can teach her. Once again, he smiled and he gently said "I'd love to". To which he offered his hand so she can take it. So the two can go sit and play at the table
Now Giovanni would explain to her how to play poker "No Limit Hold’em, sometimes known as “Texas Hold’em,” is more than likely the poker game you’ve seen on TV and the one you probably associate when you hear the word Poker" as he spoke Nimue could see how excited he was to teach her and to show her this
"Two hole cards: Each player at the table is dealt two cards face down. That’s it."
He felt like he was letting her be in a part of his world. He loves gambling a lot, and even if this is a harmless game where there are no money bets or criminal meetings, he was just happy to share a moment with Nimue "Five community cards: Each player then uses those two cards or one or none of those cards in combination with five shared community cards to make their best-five card poker hand."
Giovanni knew Nimue wont ever be like him, and in a way he made peace with that. But even if he should do the villain thing and take care of her. He cant. He loves her so much. She said all those beautiful things about him.
"Make the best hand: The player with the best hand (or who gets all of the other players to fold) wins the pot! Simple as that."
And he wishes he can repay her for that kindness. He would do anything for her. He would protect her from even other villains. He never felt like this. And he never felt this for anyone but Nimue
"Bet as much as you want: There are four rounds of betting and any player can put all their chips in the middle at any time. That’s the allure of No Limit poker. You’re always just one hand away from doubling or tripling your stack but you’re also just one hand away from busting completely."
There would come a day when he would say those words to her. When he would confess that he wants to spend the rest of his days with her. But not now. Later, years later. They still have to get to know one another, but even so. He felt so close to her. If only he could be a man to protect her from evil. He would do it. He'd want to ease her of all her pain and woes. Not be a 2nd fiddle who is helpless. One day

When did she play a card game? Or something else? She wasn't even sure, all that she was sure about was that she needed to sit and keep an eye on Giovanni to make sure he was honest with her. That he was really doing fine. It was most important to make sure he was okay, she wished she could do more but the words she said were true and it seemed to work and well maybe poker would distract him. She was hesitant, it was a game you played in the casino right? How you lost money and how her previous life had been about money, she did not want to think Giovanni would lose all that money either... she did not want a repeating of the same incident. But fine she would just accept it, he was trying to be nice, she would try to just get over this stupid issue too. So he would teach her and she would listen and she would try her utmost best to understand what was going on and what he meant with all the cards and how to make the best hand. She nodded, "Can we play a- like open round? Where you see my cards and I yours so I can learn a little better?"
That round would make her understand it a little bit better, she was an easy learner, always had been and probably always will be. Yet she could not win obviously from someone who was well trained and knew the game and all its details. Lucky Nimue wasn't a sore loser so even though she knew she stood no chance to win at all, she asked Giovanni to shuffle the cards again so they could play for real. She was sure she already forgot all the small rules the moment they kept their cards closed but she would see. Beginners luck maybe.

Giovanni tried to explain and Nimue asked for an open round, to which he agreed and would kindly show her how to play. He even showed her his cards and various scenarios or strategies. After that, when she had a bit more understanding of the game, they would play for real. Giovanni won, due to experience and also due to being maybe mean and childish for not letting a beginner win.
After that, Nimue asked him to shuffle again. He nodded and shuffle the cards once again. The two would play. He won 2 to 3 rounds. But she won the 4th due to beginners luck and having a better hand. Because you can have all the skill and knowledge you want, but it is worthless with a bad card or a bad hand. Once Nimue won, he walked over to her. Picked her up and sat in her seat and placed her on his lap. He hugged her and placed his chin on her shoulder. He would give her one or two kisses.
"Thank you for everything" he would gently whisper in her ear. "Thank you for helping me and believing in me even if I didnt believe in myself"
He would hold her in his arms. He didnt want to let her go. He loved her. But when their minutes were up. Giovanni would place Nimue in the chair so he can get the pie. He didnt want her to tire her legs. The least he could do was return the kindness she offered him earlier. He felt the change happening within him. Perhaps one day, he would leave this life to spend his days with her.

She would try her very best to win but that was only because of one time having the right cards and she felt very triumphantly and just a little smug with herself even though she just lost three rounds one after the other. While being bad at poker and especially her poker face in situations like this he would cuddle her and make sure she was doing okay. She would sit on his lap and just watch him. Brushing his hair aside and making sure she could see any potential bad emotions in his eyes. She would snuggle in his arms as he held her and just shudder a little as he would kiss her and would whisper and she blushed a little. She was so happy that he understood what she felt and what she believed. "I will always believe in you." She said and kissed him a few times, he wanted to make sure he did not feel bothered or uncomfortable with her here and that he understood how much she cared about him. She would just be there, snuggle close and hold him in return of him holding her.
When the time was up for the pie to be done, he put her down in the chair and she laughed softly. "I want to come along." But yes her legs would hurt from the standing before but she managed to follow him to the dining room and just take a seat there to watch him in the kitchen, which she thought was his life and she just leaned on her hands and watched with a smile on her face. This was the best, wasn't it? So why would she complain, she could stay here forever, just one day it would all work out and she would know what she wanted, for now, she wanted pie.
