Strangers Fingertips

Chapter 5: A Threat

-Luna'sPov-

I kept thinking about that night over and over again. He was going to kill me, what if he was going to come back to finish what he started? No no Luna just forget it and forget him. He's not coming back..right?
I took a deep breath and covered my face.
Worst part is I lied to the  Detective, I thought about the pros and cons of just calling him up right now to tell him about Griffin. I almost reached for that phone.
But something is stopping me. What is it? I wasn't really afraid of him killing me for confessing. Maybe I just wanted to see him again, was that it?...

-Griffin'sPov-

I just want her out of my head. What was she doing to me. I just couldn't see her hurt, she's changing me and I don't like it.
I needed to see her, but then what? Maybe I should just kill her and get her out of my way and force her out of my head. I got angry at myself for even thinking like that. Maybe I should tell her how I feel, she must be scared.

~Later

I walked into Starbucks and walked up to the counter. She turned to look at me and once she saw me her smile kind of faded. I grinned at her. "What are you doing here?.." She asked quietly.
"Getting my coffee and also I'm here to see you again, can we have a little talk" I said. Her expression hardened but there was a look in her eyes. "You've got a lot of nerve coming here.." She avoided my eyes.
"I want a chance to explain" I said. She glanced around then said "my lunch break is at 12:00" she muttered.
"Perfect I'll wait" I said seating myself at a  table.
I patiently waited when Detective Campbell walked in. He took a glance around as he made it to the counter. At first I was amused because he wouldn't know it was me from that night. It was like sneaking around a blind man. But my amusement quickly turned to stabbing jealousy as I watched. She turned and saw him and he gave her that smile of his. And I felt knots in my stomach as she smiled back.
He's going to steal her away from me. They talked a little as he waited for his coffee. He took a small glance around the place. My girl Luna can't fall for his bullshit charm. He's a loser anyway, still not over that bitch Lisa.
He takes his drink and I watch as he leaves. "It was nice talking to you again Luna. Have a good day" he says as he walks away. My expression hardens as he walked out the door. I look away just in time as His eyes land on me. He seems to pause for a second before walking out the door.
He's a threat to me.

-Luna'sPov-

I turn to see Joel Campbell standing there, a smile on his face. I smile back but on the inside I was worried that Griffin sat just across the room. But he seemed to remain calm. The expression on his face remained as it normally did when he wasn't smiling or giving a charming look, hardened and unreadable. I take Campbell's order and wait as they make his coffee.
"How's everything going?" He asks in a friendly time. "pretty good" I answer. "Glad to hear. Hope all remains well" I look up to see him looking at me already. I can just feel Griffins eyes on us so I kept it simple.
"Do you maybe.. Want to have dinner with me sometime? I know this amazing Vietnamese restaurant that's close by" my face reddened as I felt myself blushing.
I felt safe around Campbell he just seems safe. But with Griffin I felt like I was risking my life, would make sense since he was going to kill me. But its like they were opposites.
Black and white.
"Sure I'd love to" I gave a smile.
His coffee was done and he took it then said "Friday night I'll pick you up around 8:00" he said then winked. He walked off then said "it was nice talking to you again Luna. Have a good day". I realized what just happened and i looked at Griffin.
He sat there with his dark handsome perfection, he stood up and looked at me, the look in his eyes was almost...hurt as he tore his eyes away just like he did a few nights ago when he let me live. And like that he left. I sighed, guess I won't be talking to him.
I had a horrible feeling in my stomach that he was going to do something. I was scared of him all over again . I had liked Joel. But I had stronger feelings for Griffin.

-DetectiveCampbell'sPov-

As I reached the door I felt eyes on me. My eyes shift over to my right to see a guy looking at a magazine. His dark longer black hair and dark jacket brought me back to that night, to the same dream that haunted me for months every night since. It brought me back to Lisa's death. It reminded me of the reason why I hate myself so much. A child got sent down my spine as I stood there. I hesitated and paused.
I shook it off and walked out of there.
I got on the phone with Ibby. "I've got a plan..".
