All You Got

chapter 21

Damon

January 7th.

It's been almost two months now, a new year is here and things are going well... Luna and I are still going strong, things are going well between us. She's studying like crazy, currently that's what's doing upstairs in my room. She wants to get good grades for college. I'm proud of her. I'm sure she's gonna get where she wants, and study chemistry, her dream.

"Which airlines?" mom asks me as I take a bite of my sandwich and I cough, drinking water immediately. While my mom looks at me confused.

"Can you not yell? I haven't told Luna yet." her eyes widen and she asks me why.

"I dont know how to tell her, mom." I answer, reasoning myself and the fact that I haven't told her yet. Truth be told, I haven't told her yet because I haven't found the right time, and the right words. I don't know how to tell her that I have three jobs offers, all to the other side of USA. Back in August, I had sent job applications, and they finally answered. Perfect timing, ugh. Now that Luna is everything I have, the only reason to be here. Oh, and my family too.

Mom comes closer to me and caresses my shoulder, as I'm sat, eating, the food on the counter. I look down. It's like mom can see right through me, she can feel what I feel.

"Baby.." she murmurs and I take a deep breath. "It's not certain you two are gonna break up. Luna is supportive, she's with you in this too." finishes mom and I look up.

"I'm not going to reply mom. I'll wait a year, or so." her face frowns and that's fair. I've been nagging to them about finally taking a job as a pilot, and now I won't take them? But I don't want to. I don't want to leave.

"Don't make decisions so fast. Think about it, Damon." mom tells me and I shake my head in denial, leaving the empty now plate in the sink.

"I thought about it. I'm not leaving." I'm not leaving her. I don't want to leave her.

She sighs loudly and murmurs some things I couldn't compensate, before I grab Luna's juice and a toast too, going upstairs, where I see her in my desk, her face buried in the books.

But as soon as she hears me, she lifts her head and smiles at me.

Yeah, definitely not leaving.

"What took you so long?" she gets up from the chair and takes the sandwich from my hands, the plate, and takes me and the sandwich to the bed. I can't believe I'm making sandwich sound like a human being. Fuck, I did it again.

She sits on my lap as I'm sitting up, at the center of the bed, and puts the plate on her lap, taking a bite, before she turns to me and pecks my lips.

"Uh, I was talking to my mom." I answer her and caress her waist, her back to my chest, as she relaxed herself on top of me. And I don't mind it one bit.

"Oh. Is everything okay?" she asks me and takes another full bite, her mouth full and her cheeks too, and I laugh.

"Yeah..everything's fine." I tell her and she nods, smiling at me so cutely, that my heart skips so many beats. We've been together for four months, almost, and I still feel the same way, the same enthusiasm whenever I look at her.

I lie though. Everything's not fine. But it will be. I just have to stop thinking about the jobs.

"Don't laugh please." I say, gripping Damon's bicep with my one hand as his hands are resting on my hips.

We're inside his bathroom, me on top of the counter and him in between my legs, as I'm putting him a face mask. But he always chuckles and snickers, getting on my nerves.

"It feels weird.." he exclaims and I nod, carrying on.

"Of course it does."

"I can't believe I'm letting you do this to me." he groans and I giggle, giving his bare chest a peck, right where his heart is.

"Because you love me." I answer and he simply nods, wrapping my legs around his waist, and brings his body closer to mine.

"I love you too." I leave the mask down and wrap my hands around his shoulders, and he starts bringing his face closer to me, but I pull away.

"No kissing. We have the masks on." he rolls his eyes and I smile at him, caressing his shoulders with my hands. I love his shoulders and his chest, so broad, so nice.

We stay there just talking for a few more minutes, before rinsing off the masks, and the first thing he did is kiss me. I spent the rest of the day at his place, and then went home, where I slept immediately.
