Cole's Pov

I caress Luna's hair, the sun rays are falling on them through the half-closed window.  Making her blonde hair look like strings of gold.

She half opens her eyes and because of bright sunlight, she shuts them again immediately. She turns towards me and coming closer to me, buries her head into my chest.

"Lu", I call her softly.

" Hmm", she grunts.

"Wake up now, or else we will be late for school",

" Just five more minutes", she pleads.

"No!", I move away from her and getting up from the bed, I fully open the half-closed window, making the room lit with sunlight.

" No! I hate you", she grumbles and closes her eyes with her hands.

", And I love you", walking to her, I remove her hands from her eyes, "Come on now Luna. We have to take shower also",

To my surprise, she opens her eyes and says," okay",

"Really?",

"Yes, only if we are taking showers together", she tells me with a smirk

" What?", I ask with wide eyes.

"Yup", she nods.

" Okay, then", I carry her in my arms and take her into the bathroom.

..............

Luna standing on her tiptoes is drying my hair with a towel. A few locks of my hair come on my forehead. And she gently pushes them back. And places a kiss on my forehead. And then starts again to dry my hair. The way with an intensity she is drying my hair is making butterflies flutter in my stomach.

"Cole", she says softly.

" Hmm",

"I want to tell you something",

"Okay",

"Ahh... Cole, I am friends with Ray now", she tells me, and butterflies in my stomach are now dead. And instead of them, there is a sudden ache in my stomach.

" What?", I move away from her.

"Listen don't freak out, I know Ray is my ex-boyfriend, but he is also my childhood friend, and maybe my first friend, and I think he needs me now because the fights between his parents are becoming worse than before, and I know for sure it is affecting him", What kind of bond are Luna and Ray have? After everything Ray has done to her, she still wants to help him. Is this the severe bond of first love, which is unbreakable?

"After everything, he has put you through, you wish to help him?", I ask her.

" Yes! Because he was there for me when my Dad died, I wouldn't have survived the loss of Dad without him, and it was my turn now to be there for him, I owe it that to him",

I grab her hand, pulling her towards me, I hug her, "Okay", I have promised myself I will not ruin my relationship with Ray, she may be now friends with Ray, but she still is my girlfriend who loves me.
