A Diamond Shade of Jealousy

Virgo's POV

Beep Beep Beep.

My eyes slowly opened, revealing the half rising sun in the window. I slapped my alarm clock, hard, frustrated that I was up before the sun itself. I reluctantly pulled the fluffy white comforter off my my body and began to get out of it. But before my feet even reached the ground I was tugged back into bed.

"No. Your warm, and I love you."

I slightly giggled, and shifted so I could face my brown eyed boy friend. He pulled me closer till my flush was against his chest and we were almost nose to nose.

"Babe, I have to go to work." I said, trying gently to break from his grasp.

"Why? You hate it, it's-" He leans up, squints at our digital clock, then flops back down,"5:30, I don't see you all day, then you come home tired and cranky."

"Hey, get a job, and I will cut back my hours." Released from his hold and jump out of bed, and head towards the bathroom.

"But I don't wwwaaaaannnnnaaaa!" He whines, propping himself on his elbows.

I chuckle and roll my eyes as I wash my face.

"Taurus, Babe, it's not that hard."

Suddenly, I feel to arms wrap around my waist and a chin that's resting on my shoulder.

"Virgo, Babe,-" He says, nonchalantly mocking me,"it not hard, it's just boring."

I couldn't agree more. I worked at a 24 hour fitness gym. They are open ALL. FREAKING. DAY. AND. NIGHT. But the people I felt bad for were the workers that were actually getting off their shift right now. I worked from 5:30am-7:30 pm. It was boring, but at least I had friends and breaks, kind of.

While I was lost in thought, Taurus had left my side and gone back to bed. I smiled at him and his silent snoring. He asked me to move in with him 4 years after we started dating. He was sweet, strong, laid back, independent. I, on the other hand, was organized, crazy, sophisticated, and strict. Taurus doesn't believe it, says he still loves me, and thats why we are together. Because he tolerates me and I tolerate him. From that tolerance grew a love that is strong and more than I could ever ask for.

I put my red, Nike, spandex shirt and black yoga pants on my long, fit body. I brushed my black hair back into a pony tail and brushed some mascara on my brown eyes. With breakfast and lunch in my hand, I walked out the door, with a silent farewell to Taurus.

------------ Skip to Work in the middle of the day ------------

Same POV (going to be for the whole story)

12:30.

My head flops back into my chair as I groan. I watch as New Year Resolutions are either kept or forgotten. People break a sweat barely doing anything, and other trainers place a fake smile on their face. I sarcastically laughed out of bordem when she walked into the front desk.

Dot Coleman. Has had a crush on Taurus since she laid her devil hazel eyes on him. Her fake platinum-to-purple hair laid on her shoulders, against uniform. Her stare pierced daggers into my eyes, but her smile said otherwise. Her skinny hips swayed as she walked towards me, and I almost gagged. My gaze soon met hers with the same fire, but then her eyes were averted to a sight behind me. I turned, and a bright smile came to my face.

Taurus walked into the gym, as handsome as ever. He had a navy long sleeved shirt over his skinny torso, blue jeans, and a brown leather jacket for the January weather. His light brown hair was styled as always, his bangs swept to the side, and his smirk played on his face. His eyes swept the room till they landed on me, and his smirk turned into a full on smile.

He started to walk towards me, but Dot immediately ran to his side, putting her hand on his shoulder, smiling at him, complementing him, and he was....smiling. My face turned red with jealousy and rage. I put my tounge in my cheek and squinted my eyes as I watched the two. This was a look Taurus knew too well. His eyes glanced my way and his smile vanished immediately.  They then jerked between me and Dot and his eyes widened at the realization. He quickly finished his conversation with Dot and strode towards me.

"Virgo," he whispered before Dot even reached my destination, "I don't like her. She was just all over me and I had no idea what was happening. Please don't be mad. I love you, not her."

He sped through his apology, so Dot wouldn't be able to hear, and although I wanted to stay mad at him, I absolutely love this man, so I pulled my tongue out of my cheek. He sighed relief.

"So! The gym is sponsoring a movie night with the front desk employees. Has Virgo invited you yet?" Dot's squeaky voice rang through my ears.

"Um, no, actually, I wasn't even planning on going myself, considering it's our 5 year anniversary that night." I gestured between me and Taurus, trying to get it through her thick skull that I was not going anywhere.

"Oh? Wow! I'm so happy for you two! Wouldn't a movie night be the best way to celebrate it?" Dot exclaimed with a fake smile and devil eyes. But Taurus was completely oblivious to it.

"That sounds like a lot of fun actually! Is it like a movie theatre or drive-in or...?" He trailed off.

"Babe, it's incredibly stupid. We sit on picnic blankets, outside, in the cold, eat fatty foods, and watch dumb movies." I said turning to him.

"What movie is playing?" Taurus asked.

"Ummm, I think it's some Adam Sandler movie."

Uh-oh.

Taurus' eyes lit up. He loved Adam Sandler.

"What movie?"

"Um, I think its Anger Management? Does that sound okay?"

Ok? Anger Management was the first movie we ever saw together. It was perfect for our 5th anniversary and it was his favorite movie. Why did it have to be perfect!

Taurus' grin widened. He turned to me and gave me puppy dog eyes. The eyes you could not say no to. The eyes of a little kid begging for candy. Those eyes.

I debated in my head. Go to the movie with the love of my life, but Dot would be all over him non-stop. Or, don't go to the movie, avoid the she-devil, but have Taurus complaining all night in my ears. And him not being happy.

He wouldn't be happy. On our anniversary.

"Fine." I groaned, "What time does it start?"

--------------- Skip to Movie --------------------

I shut my car door, walked around the vehicle and joined Taurus at his side. We had a great Saturday. We talked about anything and everything, he agreed to trying to get a job, and we exchanged sweet, personal gifts, laughing at the inside jokes they implied. All the while, I was dreading what tonight would bring. As we walked toward the huge movie screen, the stars in the sky twinkled alongside the moon, which was big, bright, and full.

Taurus grasped my hand as we walked, a smirk playing on his lips. Although something was different about his stature. What used to be such a confident stance, was replaced with worrying eyes and an insecure aura. Our eyes met and I smiled, hoping to comfort him, but everything stayed the same, except the worry in his eyes disappeared and love took its place.

I am incredibly confused.

Even though I was dreading to attend the movie, I still wanted to look nice for my boyfriend. My black hair was curled, reaching up to my shoulders. A dark purple sweater draped over my torso, reaching to mid-thigh. Jeggings covered my legs while lace up ankle boots protected my feet. Black, winged eye-liner traced my chocolate orbs and pearl studs laid on my ears. When I left I thought I looked decent. Very decent. But when Dot walked up, all my self confidence left me.

A hot pink sweater dress with a square neck-line snapped against her body as she walked towards us. Her hair was tied into a pony tail and curled at the ends while rose gold earrings dangled from her face. She was beautiful, I'll give her that. My hand tightened on Taurus' grip, which he returned for reassurance.

"Hey! You guys came!" Dot exclaimed, a little too happily.

"Uh, yeah! I was really looking forward to it! Anger Management is a really special movie to us." I semi-lied, smiling when I put my hand on Taurus' shoulder. As I did, I swear, inside those hazel eyes, I saw a fire ignite.

"C-cool! Well, there's an empty spot next to my blanket. Why don't you guys come join me?" She said as she sauntered away.

---------Skip through Movie ------

The movie was nice. It was funny and brought back a lot of good memories, and although Taurus shifted nervously every 5 minutes as if he was sitting on something, I had a good time. As the last scene of Anger Management played, Taurus got up and left for the bathroom, leaving me to deal with Dot.

"Hey, Dot, I just wanted to say thank you for inviting us. It was really nice o-"

"I wasn't trying to be nice." Her monotone hiss cut me off from me taking the high road. "I just wanted some time with Taurus. I didn't do it for you, I did it for me."

"What is wrong with you?" Luckily most people were getting up from their places to gather around the popcorn and cotton candy, because I was beginning to raise my hushed voice. "He's my boyfriend. We have been dating for 5 years."

"That hasn't stopped me before."

My jaw dropped. I got up and walked away, trying to end all conflict. But she is so flipping persistent.

I heard the leaves behind me crunch from her heels as she explained, "Taurus is amazing, hot, and will be mine. He doesn't love you, he never has. He has just been with you all this time because he is scared that he might hurt your feelings. That's how considerate he is. You too are nothing alike, meanwhile I'm his second half. You're too strict and you need to remove the stick up your butt. I'm a party girl that will let him do what he wants, when he wants. You're just hurting him, and he's slowly slipping out of your grasp, into mine." By now, tears have welled into my eyes, but there was no way I was going to give her the satisfaction. So still she continued.

"Soon after your gone, I'll quit, out of thought for you, and we will move to Italy. He doesn't have to work, I wont pester him to. He will be happy with me, and not-"

I was done. I spun around and raised my left hand. I watched as my palm connected with her cheek with a slap. I squinted my eyes as 2 tears slipped. I stared her down as my jaw locked. Then, I walked away.

When I returned, I saw a light in the distance. As I got closer I saw a candle in the grass. I saw a path of candles in the grass. I followed it back to the movie where a video was playing. What I saw brought tears to my eyes.

Memory after memory slid past me on the screen, pictures of Taurus and I smiling, laughing, kissing, and enjoying each other. I looked down and noticed that the blankets were removed, and I was standing in a heart, shaped in rose petals. Our song was playing in the background as I heard someone approaching me. I turned around to see Taurus himself kneeling down in front of me, on one knee, looking down at a small velvet box in his hands.

"Virgo", he started, "I really don't know where to begin. I think I have practiced this speech a thousand times, but nothing seemed right. Nothing seemed perfect. And that's what I want for you. That's all I want for you. I want you to have a perfect life, because you, you are perfect. You are a perfect girl with a perfect personality, perfect heart, and a perfect brain. And I'm, I'm," he sighed and looked up at me, his brown eyes glistening in the moon light, "I'm not perfect, but I love you. I will always be there for you, to provide for you, to hold you, and to always love you. I promise. Everything about you is perfect, except one thing. Your last name," the velvet box opened with a pop," I'd like to change it. Virgo, will you marry me?"

My hand flew over my mouth, as the tears ran down my face. I didn't even look at the ring, the ring didn't matter, only him, only this, only now.

"Yes." I breathed

Taurus stood and embraced me, wrapping his strong arms around my waist. He pulled away and slipped the ring onto my finger, giving me a chance to look at it. It was a good band with a ring of diamonds that fit a pearl in the middle. It was perfect.

I looked up at Taurus, bringing his face down to mine. Our lips connected in a slow, sweet motion, but still contained all the passion of 4 suns.

We walked out of the park, passing a suprised Dot, standing in the middle of the soccer field. I smirked and whispered in her ear,

"Good thing this happened after I slapped you, it would've hurt a lot more."
