MY LUNA- Scrutinized [TANNERxLUNA]

May I Sit Here?

|LUNA|

In the morning I woke up with the scent of cologne in the air and pain in my neck and arm. "What the-. Tanner?" I looked around the room to find he was gone. I shrugged it off and got out of bed. Looking down in the process to see the bite mark. I gasped in shock and turned my arm to get a better look at it. I thought he would've left just an indent but looking at it now, I saw he left a whole ass mark with bloody teeth inserts. I also noticed I was now in an oversized tee. I guess he thought I was cold cause my clothes from last night were still there. I shrugged it off and looked to my side. Where the file and rose were sitting. I picked up the rose and noticed it oddly didn't have thorns.. like someone had carefully taken them out or something, for that it wouldn't hurt me. I thought back and didn't notice any sort of rose on Tanner when we were fighting, so is this someone else's or did he actually take the time to go to the store, buy a rose, take out the thorns, and leave it here? I shrugged it off as a mystery I would never crack and put it gently on my bed. Opening the more important item. The file. Finally! I was gonna get an answer. But the more I read into it, this guy didn't seem like the type to kill people, let alone cops in mass amounts. But anyone can be a killer, it's just... nature? I inhaled through my nose before standing up and putting the file in my night stand drawer. Sure it didn't have legs but who knows if it might grow a pair or two while I'm gone.

I had to water my plants so I didn't want it to go missing while I was gone. A few minutes later and I returned to get ready for work. Putting on a white sweater with dark blue jeans. 'Do I have time to spare?' I checked my phone to see what time I had to go in today. 11:30.... I checked the time. 9:45... "shit, I under-slept again." I sat down on the bed. "Should I go back to sleep or.." I looked around my room, to see my clock. It was painted black but ya know what I like black? ... Coffee. "Well... I have time." I sat up and walked over to get the file and my laptop. Heading to the door to get my heeled boots on to go to my favorite coffee shop. I don't know what about them makes their coffee and croissants better but it is. Once I got out of my car I ordered my usual and decided to sit outside for once. It was a lot quieter than inside so it would help me focus on the paper work I had to fill out to be able to hand in the file.

"May I sit here?" A familiar voice said. But since I was locked in on my work I didn't look up. "Yea, that's fine." The chair from across me slid out, a minute passed as the man spoke again. This time close to my ear in a whisper. "you know it's a little rude to not look at the person you're talking to... Luna." I looked up in fear. 'No.. not him again...please god not him.' It was Tanner, sitting next to me this time with his smile ever so unsettling. But this time his outfit was more loose and relaxed with his usual minus the coat and tie, and his 2 top buttons undone showing his undershirt. "What the hell are you doing here? How did you follow me?" I whispered back. "So many questions and yet you know the answers, but in all truth I just wanted some coffee.." I looked down to notice he did have coffee. More on the sugary side but still...coffee.

I didn't get to judge for long since I was snapped out of my view with his hand reaching over to touch my croissant. "What?" I asked a little offended he didn't ask. "You haven't eaten anything today, have you?" I opened my mouth a little, confused on how he knew that. "How did you know that?.." Tanner smirked "Because I do. Now eat up, before you decompose." I scoffed. "I'll eat it later." "It'll get cold-. Well.. colder." "I'm fine-." Out of no where Tanner broke a little of the croissant off and shoved it in my mouth. I was in shock and a little embarrassed, I was about to get up and tell him off but then I was stopped with the warmth of his hand on mine. "Enjoy!" He took a sip of his coffee while patting my hand. 'The nerve if this guy.' I swallowed quickly and talked in a mocking annoyed tone "Thanks, but I'm just gonna go." I swiped my hand from under his and got my stuff ready. "You haven't finished you food Luna." "I'll pick something up." Tanner didn't like that response, uncertain that I would pick something up, and I guess that's what made him woad up the collar my shirt and pull me close. "It's common sense to know somethings wrong when a murderer is worried for you. So I suggest you take my advice and finish you food." He dropped my shirt and pushed the croissant over to me. I hesitated but then grabbed it from the napkin. Eating it fast and then leaving to work.
