WHEN THE RAIN STOPS- Scrutinized [TANNER x LUNA] 2 IN 1

SIDE STORY PT. FIFTY FOUR

|LUNA|

The next morning Tanner woke me up at 8. I was tired as hell but got up without a fuss. "They're pancakes in the kitchen if you want any Doll face." I softly smiled before standing up to brush my teeth. Then I went to eat pancakes. Only to stop in the hallway when I heard arguing. "What do you mean you can't take her today?! - No! I get this might be normal for some people but my wife is- No we're not married yet but that doesn't change the fact she needs help! -Fine! We'll see you in a week!" Tanner hung up and threw his phone to the table in anger. I don't know why his anger was so fragile now but I think it's because he's "clean", having no way to let it out... "Honey?" He looked over as I slowly walked to him. "Is everything ok? I heard you yelling.." he lit his smile again and ducked down to hold me close while my hands rested on his cheeks. "Everything's fine peach. We just gotta wait a week to go to the doctor's. Ok?" "Alright." He looked me up and down before swooping me up To a twirl in the air. I softly giggled. "How about we go out with Layla and Ein today? I know how much you like that." I nodded. "Yeah! That's sounds fun! But- don't they work today?" Tanner checked his phone. "No! It's Saturday! They'll be free." He put me down. "Just finish your breakfast. I'll call them and see what they wanna do."  I nodded and turned to eat the chocolate chip pancakes he cooked. They were as good as ever but when I went to wash the dishes I realized Tanner had taken off his engagement ring. 'Fuck- a,a,a! Don't over think! Maybe it was to wash the dishes! -but i don't take my ring off for that.' I put his ring on my finger before washing the plates. Then I went to the living room to meet him. "They asked if we wanted to go to the park. Are you ok with that?" I nodded and sat down. "Great! Lemme just tell them." He texted Ein while I laid back. Soon finding out I would be much more comfortable on Tanner's lap. I pushed his hands up and laid down. He chuckled. "What's this about?" "Can i take a nap? I know I slept a lot but I'm still tired.."

He pet my hair. "Sure. We'll leave in an hour." He turned on the tv and before I knew it, I was out cold. He was so comfortable that I couldn't help myself. I ended up sleeping the full hour til he gently woke me up. "Love," he shook me. "Darling, wake up." I slowly opened my eyes to find, to my surprise, Layla Ein, and Laurence in front of me. Layla smiled. "Wakey wakey Cindy Loo who." I was confused but since we were going to the same place, I guess they wanted to ride in the same car. "Ughhh five more minutes!" I cried out while turning to cuddle Tanner's waist. "Aw, Cmon Luna, don't you wanna play... volleyball.." I slowly sat up and turned to Layla. She was smirking. "Oh, you're on douche bag." She snickered before taking my hand to help me change.

"The hell was that?" Ein asked Laurence and I. I shrugged as Laurence took the moment to show me up. "Oh, you don't know? They used to be on the volleyball team." I turned my head to look at him when I saw he was with a smirk. "Really? Layla never told me about that." "It was only for a year. Then they quit to focus on school, but every summer Luna loved to play volleyball with us." He glared down at me when he said that. As if I wasn't as close to her as he was. But little does he know, I know almost everything. How she likes her eggs, how she likes to sleep at night, how she folds her panties, how she likes her coffee.

"Hey! Cool it." Ein told us. I guess we were staring at each other again. Laurence sighed and walked away. I wouldn't have paid much attention if I hadn't seen him walk to my wife's room where she was changing. He knocked. "Are you two almost done? We don't have all day ya know." "Yea! Give us a minute!" They yelled from the bathroom. I guess Luna was brushing her teeth again. I stood up and went to the kitchen. We needed to stay hydrated if we were going to the park. In a way I was excited she was getting exercise. Sure she was active but now that she's sick, I think it'll be good for her. A moment later and she came out with shorts and loose top on. I bit my lip as the shorts made a certain part of her look even better than before. I turned my head with an "ow!" Come from Laurence. Ein looked annoyed with him while he rubbed his head. "Fucking pervert." Ein said under his breath. I guess he was looking too. And just like that, I was annoyed with Laurence. He was on very thin ice but I wasn't gonna tell Luna that. So there I was. Walking behind her to the car. Layla was wearing the same type of shorts so I didn't want to hear Laurence say "how can I not look." Besides, they were just Volleyball shorts. Nothing special. Even if the thing filling it is.
