Celestial Romance

Chapter 11

     Luna ate a meal of ramen noodles and chicken, and started getting ready. She feed Juno, her hamster, and picked out her outfit. She decided on a yellow skirt and a white t-shirt. She walked in the bathroom, and turned on the shower. 

     As she massaged her coconut shampoo into her scalp, she thought about her brown-haired lover. Tomorrow night, she was going to sit in the bleachers and watch Earth practice. Phobos said she would come along as well. After twenty minutes in the steamy shower, Luna dried herself off with a aquamarine towel. 

     Then, she curled her hair. Even though her hair was naturally curly, she loved to make the locks spin into circles of gold. She applied eye shadow and mascara, and put her glasses back on. She decided it would be a good time to wear her grandmother's old necklace. She only wore it on very special occasions. 

     When she walked back in her room and got dressed, Juno squeaked in approval. She put on her Convoy Neutral Stars and walked out the door.

     "Bye, Juno!" Luna called, as she shut the door and locked it. Her dad said it was okay for her to drive his car, so she hopped into the silver SUV and started it. As she pulled out of the driveway, she checked the time. It would take her about four minutes to drive there, and it was 6:47. Perfect timing. She would be a little early; Luna hoped Earth didn't mind.

     As she pulled into his driveway, Luna could see that the lights in the garage were on. His front porch was also fully lit. As she walked up to his front door, she paused before ringing the doorbell. There was a note on the door which made her heart supernova. "Go around to the back porch. That door is open." 

     As Luna creeped around behind their house, she felt a tingling feeling down her spine. She most definitely felt a breath. Before she could even turn around, she was picked up. She let out a yelp of surprise as she turned to see it was Earth. He was dressed in a black shirt and black jeans.

     "You feel right into my trap." He whispered into her ear. His voice made her body shiver in delight. He was going to pay for this. Without warning, Earth ran with a lopsided gait due to hide holding Luna. He opened up the porch door to a cozy room. The lights were dimmed down, and a brown couch sat, looking inviting in front of the TV. On the short table in front, there was a tray of cookies. 

     Earth laid Luna gently onto the couch. She put her arms on Earth's shoulders and pulled him down to her mouth. She kissed him with passion. She finally pulled Earth on top of her. Unexpectedly, she flipped him to the bottom. In his kissing, he had been distracted. She withdrew from the kiss and began to playfully punch him.

     "I got you pinned!" she said. "There is no escaping!" She started laughing. 

     "Oh, you are right! I am hopelessly stuck!" Earth said over dramatically as he threw his hand over his head for good measure. Then, he smirked and lifted himself into a crab-walk position. A startled Luna was sitting on top still. Her hands immediately began softly tickling his stomach. He was incrediblely ticklish. He flopped back down on the couch, laughing.

     "Fine, you win." he said as she still sat triumphant upon him.

     "Does the winner get a hug?" Luna asked, hopefully.

     With a grin, Earth said, "I think the winner can take what they want." Then, Luna gleefully hugged him. She loved the feeling of his chest pushing against hers. She had yearned so much for his touch. Now she had it readily accessible for her use only. She had to make the most of it.

     Earth quickly inhaled as Luna began to trace his muscles. As her fingers rounded his abs, he emitted a quiver throughout his body. He began to kiss her. All this time, Earth had slowly been tracing circles on her back with two fingers. Wider and wider the circles got.

     As warmth spread throughout Earth's body, Luna began to feel it. She pressed her body harder into Earth. He began to slowly slide his hand onto her cheekbones. Then, he got his wish. He stuck his hands into Luna's hair. Oh, planets, it felt better than he thought it would. 

     Luna began to rise. She slipped her fingers onto the bottom of Earth's shirt, ready to lift it off. Just then, Levy let out a loud meow. Somehow, they had failed to recognize that he had sat on the arm of the couch and had watched them for quite some time.

     "I forgot to feed Levy." Earth grumbled, slightly disappointed. "I'll be back."

     "Here, I'll put in the movie." said Luna, also unhappy about the change in mood. She sat up and Earth got up, and went to feed Levy. The cat followed appreciatively behind him.  Luna looked down at the movies. There was Sirius or The Nebula Story. She hadn't seen the latter movie. She read the back. It was a chick-flick. Why did Earth have this?

     After she had put the movie in, she couldn't stop thinking about how Earth had gently caressed her. She waited until Earth sat back down befor she started the movie. 

     "Into chick-flicks, are you?" Luna said, teasingly.

     "Na, but I tolerate them because my mom loves them." Earth draped a loose arm around Luna. He pulled a blanket over them. 

     Luna took a bite of sugar cookie. "Dang, that's a good cookie." Luna said, appreciating the baker's broad smile. 

     "I made them without help." he stated, proudly. "First I tried to make some fudge cookies, but those burnt." he said, sheepishly.

     "Do you want some ice cream?" asked Earth. What a gentleman.

     "Sure! I love ice cream!"

     "Vanilla or strawberry?" he asked.

     "Strawberry, duh! Is that even a question?" Luna said, smiling.

     "Two strawberry ice creams coming right up!" Earth said, as he marched into the kitchen. Luna sighed as she thought of what a good boyfriend she had. 

     When he brought them back, Luna took two cookies and crumbled them on top of the gleaming ice cream. Oh, it was good. After they finished their ice cream, they set the bowls down. The movie was done now, and the girl had gotten her dream guy. Luna smiled, knowing she had gotten a happy ending tonight as well. They cuddled under the blanket awhile longer, and then she drove home.
