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

SIDE STORY PT. SIXTY SEVEN

|LUNA|

I was nervous. Wayyy too nervous to just be seeing my dad again.

Tanner was trying to be comforting but he didn't get it. I don't even think he knows everything that happened. Especially not the..

I shook the disgust away and brought the chicken to the table. "Are you sure you want to be doing this?" He asked while hyper focusing on the table placements. I blew the hair out of my face and spoke in a mildly annoyed tone. "Yeah, I kinda have to." He looked up. Resting his head on his hand as he balanced on his elbow. "Why? You don't have to deal with this. We could simply pretend they don't exist." I slightly scoffed in annoyance as I grabbed the vegetables off the counter and put them on the table. "Think about it, he doesn't even deserve to see a lock of your hair, let alone you in this beautiful get up you have going on." I was in a short pastel blue dress with pearls on and white heels, so I get what he meant. But I don't think he can talk, he wears suits everywhere we go. "You know I have to do this Tan. It wouldn't be fair to Sophie if I just forgot about them." I grabbed a fork and stabbed a piece of steamed broccoli and carrots. Putting my hand under it in case it fell and walked over to Tanner. "Ahhh." I mouthed as he shook his head like a kid. "No! I don't like those things!" He leaned back as I straddled his waist. "Cmon, you can't just be eating sweets all day. Open up." He shook his head as I decided to open his mouth the manual way. Grabbing his dick and letting him moan to insert the broccoli. Once I let go I saw him chew with a smile. "If you keep doing that, I'll eat a whole garden." I playfully rolled my eyes while he sat back up. But for a second I swear I felt something poke me. I took a deep inhale as my brain remembered the day before Valentine's Day. The thrusting, the grabbing, the biting..

I quickly got off of Him with a smile on my face as not to worry him. Internally it was a spike in my adrenaline, but on the outside I was totally fine. After we laughed it off he brought me close by my hands. "Can you at least promise me you won't go anywhere alone with him? It would really ease my mind." I softly smiled. "Sure." I kissed his head before turning around with the sound of a doorbell. I took a deep breath and walked towards the door. Feeling the comforting motion of Tanner's hand on my shoulder while I opened the door. "Heyyyy.." I said in a friendly manner to the man, woman and child at my door. "Hey pumpkin-." "Happy birthday!" Sophie said while pushing past her "parents" to hug me. I crouched down and almost fell back at the amount of force she ran at me. "Woah- you're getting strong Soph! Keep this up and You might be able to lift lucky charms here in a few years." I patted Tanner's leg as she laughed at my joke. Tanner looked at my dad when I touch him, and as we expected, he didn't like it. But Tanner didn't let that stop him from helping me up, kissing my head when I was fully off the ground. In a way It felt freeing, being defiant in front of my dad. Like I was mocking him with how much happier I am now. I made eye contact with him and right at that moment, a glimpse of pure anger rang out in our stare. That glimpse made my mood completely change as It shook me to my core. I guess Tanner felt it. For he put his hand around me and held me closer than before. He scoffed. "Where are our manners? Please, come in." Michelle gladly stepped in and started complimenting the house. But all I could think about was the how she eerily looked so realistic to my mom's image. It was like my dad had a sixth sense of picking out clones. "The foods on the table." I said when Michelle entered the kitchen. And just like that, we were all around the table, eating our lunch. "So how have you been pumpkin?" ..

'I hate this.'

I smiled. "Good, and how have you two been?" "Great, thanks for asking." He went back to eating.

'Yeah, just sit there and shut the fuck up, you fucking piece of shit..' I thought as the silence kicked in again. "So.. Luna, how's the wedding planning going?" Michelle asked, making me and Tanner choke on our drinks together. Mad dad gave Michelle an annoyed look while we coughed off the drinks. "Uh-well-.." "it's going great." Tanner said with an ok sign. "We just have to pick out the location and season." He put our hands on the table and squeezed mine. "But I can assure you, In a few months we will officially be married. -and by the week after next  we'll be moved out of this house and into our new one." He started massaging my hand with his thumb. "Oh, that sounds exciting, when are you guys going to look at houses?" Michelle asked. "The day after tomorrow." Tanner replied. She nodded with a nice warming smile. "Hm, I'm so happy for you two. If you'd like we could help with the moving process." "There no need. We already have a moving crew in mind. Thank you though." They kept talking about the future while I kept eating. I was kinda creeped out by my dads glare but Sophie made it all better. She looked absolutely adorable eating the smaller cut green beans I made. And under the table she was swaying her feet back and forth! Absolutely wholesome.
