DARK HUMAN

Chapter Seventy-Two

With Luna arriving home hours later from work, she puts her vehicle in park, and sits in her driveway, while watching Kyle get up from the couch, and turn on the light in the living room. As she then watches him walk into the fishing room, she gets out of the car, and walks into the house. Standing in the kitchen, she takes off her shoes, and puts her keys on the kitchen counter, as he walks into the kitchen and up to her with his hands behind his back. Giving her a kiss on the lips, he then pulls the small, wrapped box out from behind his back, and hands it her, and says, "Here this is for you! I got you something!"

Taking the gift-wrapped box, she then walks over to the kitchen table, and sets it down, and asks, "Why did you give me a gift? What is it?"

"Open it! Why not! I love you! I wanted to get you something," he says, as he walks over to the kitchen table, and stands next to her.

As she unwraps the box, she pulls the top off, and looks inside. Seeing the items that she saw in the wall about a month ago, she says in a surprised voice, "What's with the witchy items?"

"They're just some relics. I even got you a tiger eye necklace! Look!" he says, as he puts his right arm around her lower back. As he rubs it, he then says, "I thought maybe you could use them. Since you're wearing purple and heightening your senses."

Pulling the items out of the box, she looks them over, and doesn't say anything about how she found them in the wall about a month ago. With her taking off the amethyst necklace, she then puts on the tiger eye, and stares at the brown stone, while rubbing it with her thumb. As he watches her stare at the stone, he then hugs her from behind, and asks, "Do you like it?"

"Of course. I like it. But I'm going to wear the amethyst necklace a little while longer. At least until I know my senses are heightened. It's nothing personal," she says, as she turns around, and hugs him back.

"Okay! I get it. I know it's nothing personal. I just wanted to give you a gift," he says, as he then walks into the living room, and sits on the couch. As he then leans over, and grabs the remote off the coffee table, he turns on the television, and then asks, "How was work?"

"Work was slow tonight. Geo stopped by and ordered some food. That was a surprised," she says, as she walks into living room. Still wearing the tiger eye necklace, she then sits down next to him, and then says, "I really do like the necklace, but I'm going to have to put on the other necklace for little while longer. Please, don't be mad. You do understand, don't you?"

"I won't be mad, and yes, understand! How is Geo? What did he want?" he says, as he changes the channel.

"He didn't want much. He just ordered some food," she says, as she touches the stone. As she leans back on the couch, she then says, "It's late, and I'm tired. I'm going to sleep upstairs. Are you coming up to bed?"

"No. Not yet! I'm not tired. I'm going to watch television down here for a little bit," he asks, as he picks up his phone from the coffee table. With him scrolling through it, he then asks, "Is that okay with you?"

"Okay!" she says, as she rubs his left thigh, while giving him a kiss on the lips. As she then stands up, she walks over to the bottom of the stairs, and looks over at him, and then says, "I appreciate the gifts. Thank you!"

"You're welcome! I love you," he says, as he lays down on the couch. Grabbing her purple blanket from the top of the couch, he then places it over him, and then says in a soft voice. "I'm going to sleep with your blanket tonight."

"Okay! Go ahead!" she says, as she then walks up the stairs and into the bedroom.

Grabbing her pajamas from the bottom dresser drawer, she puts them on, and then walks over to the bed, and grabs the remote from underneath her pillow. As she then turns on the television, she then walks back over to the dresser, and grabs her journal from underneath. Inspecting it and seeing it undisturbed, she then walks back over to the bed with the journal in her hand, and turns on the bedroom light, and opens a blank page, and begins to write.
