The Moon and Her Sun

Five: "It's Not a Date!"

"For the fifth time, Its not a date!" I say raising my voice at them.

I yell at that last part because my brother and dad clearly don't understand English. Mom is just witnessing this and doesn't say anything to either of them.

"I'm just going to hang out with my friend Ciro." I make sure I calrify with them for the sixth time now "We're not going to do anything wild, okay." I wish.

"Well if it's not a date then" My brother responds "Can I go with you guys then?"

"No." I say to him with attitude.

"Why?" My brother asks folding his arms with that stupid little smirk on his face. He then folds his arms and I look at him.

Right now all I could think of is how to say fuck you through my eyes without getting caught.

Then a certain someone decides to jump on the question train my dad. "Yeah Luna, why don't you want your little brother to" he makes air quotations with his hands "'Hang out' with you friend?"

"Okay enough." Mama bear jumps in defending her little bear aka me. "You mister" she then points to my brother "go do your homework." Andrew then leaves the conversation while he sighs and grunts in disappointment.

"And as for you." She then acknowledges my dad "We will talk once Luna leaves okay?"

"I mean I guess. Only if I have too." He sighs as if he really didn't want to talk to her but I know he's joking.

"Good." Mom says to my dad, then leading her kissing my dad's cheek.

Team Estrogen is in the lead by one point thus making it Team Estrogen one while Team Testosterone has 0.

Then the doorbell rings. "Okay bye mom. I love you." I say as I rush my way out the door. Avoiding the awkward meeting Ciro has to do in order for me to leave the house.

I open the door and grab Ciro by the arm to walk to his car. "Hurry up. Where's your car?" I ask him rushing out the house.

"This way." He says. I let go of his arm as he leds me to his car which is parked on my sidewalk..

He opens the door for me to get in. "After you." He says.

"Aww you're such a gentleman." I said sarcastically.

He responds back sarcastically "Yeah I know." He then closes my door and I can see him laugh a little bit. I guess you can be sarcastic too then.

Once he opens his door and I see that he waves at my parent's house. "I'll have her back home by nine." He says to them.

"Ten being the latest." My dad says to him. What the fuck? My dad bipolar as fuck.

Ciro gives them a thumbs up and finally, after what felt like a century, gets in the car. He then starts up the car and we leave my house.

"I should give you a certificate for getting in the car." I say to him "Plus for surviving from meeting my parents."

"It's okay." He says "I really don't mind. I'm just glad that they let me have you until nine."

"Why is that?" I ask him. Maybe he wants me as much as my night-self wants him.

"Cause I know that this will probably be our first and last date." He says.

At that point I had no idea what to do? I had three choices. One: was to crash the car while I try to jump out and hopefully I don't get convicted of murder. Two: To punch him on his shoulder as hard as I can. Or Three: Just give him the dead silence.
