Her Luna

Chapter Eighteen

Gabriella's POV:

I cleared everywhere to welcome Trisha for my new cottage dinner!!

I brought two tub of ice cream one cookies and cream my fav and the other vanilla chocolate chips, her fav.

And made movie with lots of popcorn and my homemade banana cupcakes!!

Am sure she'll like it, she has a sweet tooth just like me.

Then I heard a knock, I squealed and ran up to the door to see Trisha there in a black track pants and a grey crop hoodie.

"You look hot! " I blurted out winking at her.

She blushed and looked at me up and down saying "You don't look bad yourself. "

And then I noticed what I was wearing, a matching laced black bra and panties.

Ahhhhhh!!

I felt my face heat up and I ran back into the house.

"Just come in and lock the door behind you!! " I yell.

I could hear her laughter as she entered and locked the door.

While she took her seat on the dinning area I went up to my room and throw in my black button up long sleeves leaving three buttons undone and went down stairs.

"Now you look more hot! " Trisha said laughing.

I rolled my eyes and sat next to her.

"Behold my famous homemade banana cupcakes and two tubs of different ice cream one for me and the other for you!! " I said in a dramatical British accent.

She giggled and her face turned in all awe.

"You know me best! " she said and picked a cupcake stuffing it in her mouth.

I laughed at her need for sugar and stuffed my mouth with cupcakes too.

"I also planned a movie night. " I said.

She paused then squealed loudly.

"First of all you're the best and second I can't believe matteo gave you this cottage!! " she said yelling loudly.

I looked at her confused and she realized what she had slipped of her mouth.

"What's wrong with this cottage? " I asked.

"This is my grandma's cottage, he doesn't likes anyone staying here except him and our grandma so am surprised he let you in... Well not that much surprised but yeah still surprised. " she blabbered.

I was stunned for a moment before the mate bond decided to act up.

And I felt my stomach rumbling from the amount of butterflies I felt in it.

"Why will he do that? " I asked. " is he trying to say sorry or...? " I asked trailing off.

"I don't know but I would appreciate if you can give him another chance, him losing our parents still hurts him, he needs your support. " she said in a sad tone. "He doesn't want to be heart broken by yet another person. " she added.

That will explain his reasons for ignoring me at the start and now showing me his soft part.

He's just as broken as I am when I lost my mom and younger sister and also lost my virginity to my stupid father who wouldn't spare a day to bruise me badly.

Fuck this life, am giving him another chance.

I nodded at her and opened my ice cream.

Right now let me just drench myself in ice cream to clear my head.

I stuffed my face with a spoon full of ice cream and I felt tears roll down my eyes.

I'm not crying, this is just me pretending.

'Yeah, I know.' Ashley said.

"Shh it's okay. " Trisha said.

If she only knew why am crying she wouldn't bring up matteo's parents dying.

I cried harder and continued stuffing my mouth with ice cream to muffle my tears.

One tub of ice cream later and we're watching Disney movies to clear the tension.

I haven't talked since, so we decided to watch TV.

But then someone burst into the cottage panting heavily.

We jumped in the couch and turned around to see matteo's worried face and heavy breathing.

"Dude you scared us?!! " Trisha yelled and I just giggled at her.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed matteo's a glass of water.

"Here." I said handing it to him.

He looked at me and then at the cup but instead of taking it he flung it to the other side of the room and looked at me worriedly.

Huh?

"Did you know how I felt when you were crying?!!! " he yelled asking a question.

I looked at him confused then it hit me.

The mate bond makes you feel what your partner feels but not completely when you haven't finished the mating process.

"You felt that? " Trisha asked confused.

"Yeah I felt that, why were you crying?! " he asked worriedly but also angry.

Oh fuck!!
