The Moon And His Star

Confrontational

It had been two whole days since Steven hadn't shown up to their date. She had just put luna to sleep and was getting ready for bed herself when she got a call. She looked at her phone and saw Stevens number come up on her phone.

She huffed angrily and and declined his call. But this didnt deter Steven away. He had been sat at the table of the steakhouse for an hour now. He dialled her number again.

This time Jamila picked up as she was too angry at Steven to not tell him how she felt. "Hello? Jamila when are you coming its been an hour." He said sounding confused which in turn made Jamila confused."Come where? Steven what are you talking about?" Jamila asked. "Our date? The steak place?" He asked her.

Jamila scoffed "you've got to be kidding me right?" "What? What do you mean? I'm at the restaurant for steak. It's steak time." Steven said chuckling at the end. Jamila was not amused."Yeah, I ate steak by myself, thanks. Two days ago. Alone."

"What? I thought we said Friday? Today." Steven said. "Steven are you okay? Its sunday today not friday." Jamila told him. "No, no no. Oh God No. It cant be. Friday comes after Thursday." He mumbled to himself. "No Steven today is Sunday." Jamila said.

"It. Cant be. Excuse me. Sorry what day is it today?" He asked the waiter. "Sunday sir." He replied. "Oh Jamila I'm so sorry. Let me make it up to you." Steven said. "Steven. If you dont want to be with me i get it okay? I have baggage okay? No guy wants that." Jamila told him as her voice broke.

This made Stevens heart break. He would never do that to Jamila. Never. He loved Jamila and he loved luna too."Jamila i would never do that to you. Never." He said a little sternly. Jamila sniffled "yea right."

"Thats it I'm coming over and i'll bring food too." Steven said. "Steven you dont have to do that."she said."No i'm coming." He said and then he ended the call. Which just confused Jamila even more. It had been twenty minutes when she heard a knocking on the door.

She took a deep breath before looking down at luna to see if she had woken up. Then she walked to the door and opened it. Steven was stood on the other side out of breathe and looking confused as ever. He had flowers in his hands and gave them to who Jamila smiled slightly. "These are so pretty." Jamila said smelling them as she placed them on the counter.

Steven followed her into her apartment then did something that surprised Jamila. He hugged her. "Steven are you okay?" She asked him as he clung to her tightly the bag of food was on her back but it was a comforting warm along with his hug.

"Steven what's going on?" Jamila asked him as they broke the hug. "Jamila. I-i dont know whats going on with me. I thought it was all dream but now im not so sure." He said

"Relax Steven. Relax. I'll make us some tea and you can tell me everything." Jamila told him. So Steven sat as Jamila put the kettle. Once she had made the tea. Steven had told her everything that had happened.

He told her about waking up in some field and seeing a bird man giant thing that would call him an idiot. And then a man who had a weird tattoo had killed someone and he wanted some golden beetle that he thought steven had.

"Oh sweetie. Its just a bad nightmare." Jamila comforted him as steven took a sip of his tea. "But it felt so real and then i wake up and i find out I've missed two whole days." He told her.

"Sweetie you've been really stressed and tired these past few days. Is it really that insane to believe you slept for a long time." Jamila told him. "I'd believe that but i cant because of what I've seen Jamila im telling you it felt so real." Steven told her.

Jamila patted his back. "Look i just say that we put this all aside for now. I mean we have work tomorrow. Maybe i'll come over to yours and we can figure it out from there." Jamila suggested.
