I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

Chapter 7

its the longest chapter so far, i think, and maybe it will help you forgive me for leaving it alone for so long (or like it will help me forgive myself this)

Chapter 7 /or/ about stress, fries and soulmates

"Mom, I need help." Luna mumbles with small blush on her face entering the kitchen in Benson manor. Her mom smiles at her softly from over making dinner, but puts down the knife she was using seconds before to focus on Luna, who suddenly feels warmer.

"What is it, sweetie?"

Luna bites on her lower lip looking around, everywhere but not at her mom. "I am going out today."

She receives small nod as reply and Monica goes back to the vegetables. "With Simón? Or again some study afternoon with Nina?" she asks casually humming some melody and Luna sits by the counter in front of her not sure how to start. "I'm going out for a date, mom."

Monica drops the knife surprised, looking at brunette with shocked yet happy grin. "With who then?"

That's the hardest part of telling her mother about this. Luna clears her throat wondering how not to become a mess while saying out loud the s word and probably there's no way out of this.

"With my soulmate."

The silence that falls around scares brunette as hell while her mother doesn't even blink. "Your soulmate?"

"Yes." Luna starts to play with one of her rings. "He asked me few days ago."

Monica smiles, cleaning her hands with paper towel and moves towards her daughter. "Is he a nice boy?"

Brunette just nods unsure while her mom continues. "Does he like you? And do you like him?"

Luna chokes a little, but covers it with small cough. "It seems like it, and I think I do?"

She keeps biting her lower lip while her fingers move nervously and one ring falls to the ground eventually.

Monica smiles at her happily clapping her hands and leaves vegetables aside, moving to the cupboards. She takes two cups out of one and gets few from the other. "You have to tell me about him."

Brunette rolls her eyes with soft smile, of course her mom is curious and it's nothing surprising, not to mention she loves her mom and maybe it won't be as awkward as Luna thought. Or maybe it will be even more awkward.

She waits for her mother to make the tea and as they sit by dining table Monica nods encouraging her. Luna starts fidgeting again not sure how to say it.

"So-" Her mother starts. "How did you two meet?"

Luna pouts softly. "We bumped into each other in Cancun." Monica frowns confused, but lets her daughter continue. "It just... pulled me to him, I think. It was the same day you told me we were leaving to Buenos Aires." She licks her lips unsure and her mom nods.

"So, how did it happen that he was in Cancun and now he's here just like you?"

Luna shrugs with sheepish smile. "I guess that's universe."

Matteo has no idea how he manages to button up his light blue shirt correctly (he has to redo it twice, because he missed a button). He stays by the mirror making sure that he looks fine and even if mirror confirms it, he still isn't able to believe completely. This is ridiculous; Matteo has never acted like this, freaking out because he's going out with a girl.
