Cole's Pov
"Cole!" Luna calls my name.
"Hmm" I mummer without opening my eyes.
"Get up Love, I have to go" She tries to free herself from my arms.
"Don't go, please"
"I wish I could stay, but it's important so I have to go"
I open my eyes, "I love waking next to you. You know when I wake up and your face is the first thing I see, I can't make out if I am dreaming or awake".
"Well, I am not a dream", She kisses me to prove the fact.
"Now, let go of me"
"No!" I hold her in my arms more tightly.
"Cole, I have to meet Stella I will be late. I have to talk to her about Yale and everything".
"She goes to Yale",
"Yeah, it's her third year"
"How do you know her?"
"She is the daughter of one of my mom's high school friends. I know her since I was a child. You know she is the perfect girlfriend material kind of a girl. I remember admiring her and her boyfriend as a twelve-year-old girl. They were perfect each, it's like they are the kind of couples you see in movies or your books"
"Are we like them?"
"I don't know"
"We are not perfect right?"
"We are imperfectly perfect", She places a kiss on my forehead and I let her go.
She looks at me in surprise, "I didn't think you will let go of me that easily"
"I liked your answer", I tell her. 'imperfectly perfect' feels right for us.
Luna goes to the washroom and in a few minutes, she was ready to go.
"I can't believe you got dressed up so fast today", I tell her in the mirror while she applies lipstick.
She turns to me, "Because I am already late because of you".
"I like this shade of your lipstick", I tell her and take her lips in mine.
She pulls away all blushed up. I must have surprised. For always confident girl she has a tint of shyness inside her. Which comes out in rare movements like this.
She pulls herself together in the manner of seconds and says, "This shade looks good on you than me" She traces her fingers on my lips. "Should I apply some more" She tries to apply lipstick on me but" I hold her hand before she does.
"I prefer to apply lipstick like this", I kiss her again.
"I know what you are doing Mr Cole"
I put my hand around her waist, and pull her closer to my chest, "Really you know?"
"Cole!" She pulls away all flushed up, "I am going now, Bye" she hurries out of the room.
"I love you" I shout after her.
"I love you too" she replies.
Luna's Pov
In the movements like this when Cole forgets that he is introverted and shy. He makes my heart race. He makes me vulnerable I lose control of myself. Losing control is scary for me.
"Luna!" Stella calls my name "here" she waves.
We had decided to meet at a café. I take the seat next to her. Stella looks the same. Same hairstyle same dressing style. She has long brown hair and anyone who meets her cannot ignore those mass of brown hair.
"Hey, how are you doing?" she asks me.
"I am great! How about you?"
"I am fine, as usual"
"How is Yale?"
"Yale is great but..." But? That doesn't sound good. Stella always wanted to go to Yale with her boyfriend Kevin. Did they break up after high school?
"But what?"
"Nothing. Tell me about you. How is your boyfriend, Ray?"
Ray? Oh! She doesn't know about me and Ray she still thinks we are together.
"Ray and I are not together anymore"
"Huh," she looks at me in surprise.
"Yeah, we broke up," I tell her with an awkward smile.
"What? But how? You were perfect for each other, just like me and Kevin" So they are still together. Thank God or it would have gotten more awkward.
"We realized we are better as friends than a couple" Of course I can't tell her the reason Ray and I broke up because Ray cheated on me.
"Oh!"
"But don't worry I am not single. I am in a beautiful healthy relationship"
"That's great," she says with a relief and smile on her face. Stella I as far as I can remember have never been single. She was in a relationship with Kevin when she was in middle school. So being single is a terrible thing according to her.
"What is his name?" she asks.
"Cole" As I say his name a smile without my knowledge appears on my face.
"This Cole guy makes your eyes shine Luna" she tells me.
"Huh?" I look at her in confusion. Eyes shine?
"I am happy for you Luna," she says with a genuine smile.
"Thank you"
"Now tell me why you want to go to Yale?"
"Because Cole wants to go to Yale. Besides that, I don't know what else to do" I look at her face and her smile disappears.
"Luna! Can give you honest advice?" I nod.
"Don't go to Yale because your boyfriend wants to go there. Trust me it's a bad idea, I know must be thinking I did the same I went to Yale because of Kevin, but I don't know what I am doing there. I don't belong to Yale and I know that, I don't know what I want for myself. What I want to do in my life. I am just Kevin's girlfriend I don't know without him what I am.
"Oh," I don't know what to say to her. But she is right I should not go to Yale because of Cole.
"Luna, I know you have applied for Yale, and most probably you will get in because of your family influence, but I am wanting you to think about what you as an individual want to do in life. why do you want to go to Yale as an individual? If you don't know the answers to all these questions, ask yourself what you are good at. If you get the answer to this question, you will get answers to all your questions".
What I am good at? I don't know.
