Lovers By Force

Chapter 59

-LUNAS POV-

I find myself in a nightmare, I was reliving the events from that night. I couldn't help but feel scared, the gunshots triggering, I find myself rubbing my stomach...where my baby once stayed. "Woah...Luna are you alright?" Scarlett says, calming me down. "Sorry...I think I just had a bad dream.." I say, reassuring Scarlett's worried look.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No..no, I'm okay. It's just a bad dream...it's fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah!" How long until we get there?

"In a couple of minutes it'll be an hour and 30 left."

"Oh, great..I'll just stay awake."

The whole car ride, Scarlett and I began chatting about life, celebrity drama and so much more. I couldn't help but feel a sensation of ease overcoming me, I felt better...especially after talking with Scarlett. She knew just what to say to make you feel on top of the world.

-TOMS POV-

The guys and I find ourselves in Las Vegas, Sin city. A city known for its prevalence of money crimes, prostitution and violence. This would've been my type of crowd, yet I don't think so anymore. Bill suggested a night club, I think he said that so I'll get loose and maybe enjoy a fun night. But how could I do that? I would never touch a woman who isn't Luna. And most importantly I wouldn't drink, not even if I wanted to. My wedding is in a couple days, I can't be caught doing irresponsible things, especially with Alfred after me. I have to keep a low profile until the wedding, he can't touch me then. I won't allow it, not on such a special day for Luna. That's all the matters. Her happiness.

-
We arrived at a night club, I found myself in a VIP section of the club, second floor. In the second that I scanned the crowd I could pin point every girl looking for sex, money, and drugs. Men were dealing drugs, others conspiring with one another, and others looking for an excuse to get away from their family. A room filled with cowards and disgraceful human beings.

A woman approaches me, blonde hair, green eyes and a pleasing body. "Hey mister, you look kind of down.. let me cheer you up." She says, bending down, unzipping my fly. I grabbed her by the hair, pulling her head back, facing me. "I'd prefer it if you didn't touch me, ever. Don't assume that just because I 'look down' I'm seeking pleasure only a woman can fulfill." I say to her, my tone cold, chilling. 

"Fuck you too!" She says, getting up and walking away. I don't have time for useless whores, I don't have time for any of this.... why were we even here?

-LUNAS POV-

Once Scarlett and I arrived to Vegas, we checked into a hotel, I found myself hitting the bed as soon as I entered.

"Uh uh Luna! The night is young so let's make the best out of it!" She says, pulling out a dress from her bag. "I got it custom made for you!" She says, holding up a white frilled halter neck dress, the slightest bits of gold all over the dress, creating a sparkly look to the dress. It was a dress to die for, perfectly made for me.

"It's gorgeous..wow..thanks Scarlett!" I say, my eyes wandering the dress in awe.

"I'm glad you like it!" She giggles. "Now go! Go put on the dress and then come out so I can do your makeup!"

"Okay! One moment."

-

After I put on the dress I came out with a washed face, ready for Scarlett to work her Scarlett magic.

"Take a seat!" She says, pointing to the end of the bed.

"Don't do too much, I don't need guys hitting on me!" I jokingly say to Scarlett. She looks at me, her eyes lighting up.

"Actually that's an amazing idea! Free drinks!"

"No...no no no, that's not a good idea.."

"Too bad, Luna we're in Vegas! Whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! Now stop moving and let me do your makeup!"

"Sorry..."

I let Scarlett do my makeup, we ended up getting ready for a total of an hour and a half. Once we finished getting ready, I put on some of my jewelry and paired the dress with glittery strapped heels. We left the hotel and made our way to the club. Once we arrived at the club Scarlett and I were instantly greeted a with boisterous environment. I couldn't help but feel light headed by the amount of people in the room. So I sucked it up and made my way to the bar.

"Scarlett, I'm going to the bar alright?" I shout to her.

"Sure! Get me a free drink if you can!" She shouts, winking at me before making her way to a group of guys. I couldn't help but roll my eyes and let out a slight laugh.

-TOMS POV-

For the next hour I found myself constantly rejecting every single female who would approach me, until I set my eyes on Scarlett. "What is, she doing here?" I say to myself, did she leave Luna?

"SCARL-" I shout out before stopping myself...I laid my eyes upon the most beautiful woman to ever walk this earth, her celestial body making my heart skip a beat, her beauty beyond compare, there are no words to describe how I feel or how she makes me feel. I asked myself if this is all a dream and if it is...I don't ever want to wake up, if it's real, I don't ever want to sleep. She's all I all I want, everything I need.

She looks stunning in her dress, a true Angel. I watch her as she makes her way to a bar, my body is screaming at me to go to her, hold her, touch her....and yet my mind tells me to stop, she's hurt. You're the last person she wants to see. My heart aches, a pain so deep and so raw I wanted to kill myself in an instant.

I watched her instead, admired her from afar, like a beautiful moon.

-LUNAS POV-

Once I arrived at the bar, I noticed a handsome guy with auburn hair, his eyes brown and bold, rich and deep, staring into me. He smiles, approaching me.

"Wow, may I say, you're the most magnificent woman I've ever laid my eyes on." He says, our eyes locking together like a lock and a key, meant to each other . "Thank you.." I say, heat rising up to my cheeks, tainting them a deep red.

"What brings a lady like you to these parts of town."

"Well I'm here with a friend." I say. As gorgeous as this man is, he was a stranger.

"Ah I see, girls trip?"

"Yeah...something like that." I say, smiling.

"Well you've come to the right place for that." He says, flashing a bright smile.

"You have a pretty smile.." I say, lost in my thoughts. "What?" He says, chuckling.

"Oh sorry..did I say that out loud!" He only smiles at me, his face leaning in towards me. Was he going to kiss me? I don't think I'm ready for that... "um...I need to go to the ladies room.." I say, creating space between us. "Oh..sure." He says. "I'll get us drinks in the meantime!" I smile,  "Sure!"
