CHASING THE MOON

CHAPTER 3

Artemis

As we arrived, she immediately lock the door and push me to sit in the couch. She immediately hug me and kiss my cheeks. I was just sit in straight body cause I was shock by miss sudden behaviour.

" miss naman you're kissing me again." I said while pouting

"baby are you not still get used of me kissing you? well except from your lips, but soon I will kiss it na." she says while busy kissing my cheeks.

"you will kiss me at the lip po? Miss astra we are not married and also were both girls po." I said as I make her stop from kissing my cheeks. Miss astra stares at me blankly like I said something wrong. "why po?" I asked her.

" serenity, you didn't know that it's kinda normal to have a relationship with the same gender in this century." miss astra said in intimidating tone. I lowered my head and said

"I didn't know po because my parents said only man and woman is allowed to get married po." I says in teary eyes. Miss astra held my chin ang lift to face her.

"why are you crying?" she asked.

" you're mad po and this is the first you called me by my name." I said while will sniffing and my tear started to fall when I saw that her face didn't change and it's still look intimidating.

" So? I thought you don't want me to call you baby?" she said. I can't help to cry even more.

" I'm sorry if I say something bad that made you mad. I will let you call me baby, so you wouldn't get mad at me." I stated while I lowered my head. She pat my head so I decided to face her and saw her smiling and her soft face.

"oh, baby you don't have to apologise I was just teasing you but I kinda hurt that you don't want to get married with me. You don't even no about girl to girl relationship also you have no clue on how relationship works, I'm I right?" all I just did was nodded at her since its true.

" sorry if I have no knowledge about that things and sorry also for being innocent in that matter. " I says while staring at her while she's busy wiping my tears.

" serenity, you don't have to say sorry at me about you being innocent because that part of your charm and that innocents of yours made me fall for you, mhmm. " miss astra stated while still busy drying and wiping my cheeks.

I stared at her  as I really heard that right, did she really says fall for me? What does that mean? I was busy communicating with my brain about her words when suddenly,

" serenity, hey?"

" mhhmm?"

" you okay?"

"no"

"why is there a problem?" shear asked and I nodded. "what is it?"

" why are you calling me serenity? I thought you want to call me baby." I said making her laugh a bit. " I thought you don't want me calling you baby?" she said while smirking.

"I want it na." I said I low tone.

"what I didn't hear you?" she asked. She's really teasing me.

"I said I want you na to call me baby because it felt weird that you calling serenity, it feels like you're still mad at me." there I said already, gosh I'm so shy right now.

" awww, my baby is so cutie." she's back at hugging and kissing my cheeks. She's still not get enough of my cheeks.

" ahmm, miss astra... " she cut my words by

" don't call me miss astra when it's just the two of us, mhmm. Call me Riley, baby." she stated so I just nodded and continue to what I'm gonna say.

" ahmm, is it okay to call you riri nlang because it's really weird calling you by your second name, to think that you're my professor? " I asked.
