Gideon had a feeling Amelia was joking when she said he was a pain. Why would she be with him if she truly thought so? Nope, she was quite happy to have him with her, so she couldn't be serious in her accusation. "If I am, you like it," Gideon retorted, reminding her that she was still seeing him and was still on this date with him. Moreover, she was still living with him and seemed completely reluctant to change that position. Gideon wouldn't do anything to change that for her, either. No, Amelia secretly liked putting up with him. He made things interesting.
When he heard her stop swinging and yell at him, he smiled secretly to himself since he had his back to her. Gideon didn't see the glare, but he had a feeling Amelia wasn't entirely happy with his little joke. No, she was probably just faking and playing along. That was more likely. He turned around before too long, though, and saw her walk towards him. Gideon caught her by the waist when her arms went up around him. "You proved well enough that you can take care of yourself," he teased, ignoring her little pout. No, Gideon wouldn't leave her for that exact reason. She could take care of herself, but he still wasn't going to leave her. And Amelia did indeed look adorable while putting on that look. Gideon bent his head down and kissed her rather softly on the lips.
