Daughter of the Moon

CHAPTER 8

CHAPTER 8

Skyler sat at a round small black metal table and stool waiting patiently as John walked up to her at the table with a small plastic bag and two canned drinks. He pulled up a chair across from her and placed the bag and drinks on the table. Skyler smiled. It had been awhile since Skyler and John had sat together and enjoyed a lunch. So much has happened, she didn't have time for him. He reached inside the bag and placed a white paper wrapped sandwich in front of her and a canned lemonade. She couldn't help but smile at him. He then looked up at her and smiled back. She unwrapped her sandwich and noticed the flat italian bread with pastrami and sighed.

“What? Don't tell me I got the order wrong.” said John with a sad expression as she then shook her head and smiled.

“No, I'm just amazed that you remembered. Flat italian bread with pastrami, no onions. Your the best.”

He smiled sheepishly and looked from Skyler to his sandwich as his smiled then disappeared. He then turned his head away from it and sighed. Skyler who began eating her sandwich looked at John and asked,

“What's wrong? You not hungry.”

John then looked directly at Skyler and gave her a serious expression that not even she expect. She swallowed her bit and whipped her mouth.

“Are you okay?” she asked again as she then noticed something in his eyes she never saw before.

Could it have been her imagination. It had to be, she knew to well that those eyes would never show her the opposite that she wanted to see, but they did. They showed a sense of hate and remorse.

“John are you alright?”

“The more I think about it I don't like it.”

“What are you talking about?” asked Skyler as John then placed his sandwich on the table and walked up at Skyler and bent down close ti her and leaned forward toward her.

He placed his forehead against her's and whispered gently across her lips,

“ I don't want you to leave. Stay with me.”

She gasped and held in her breath. Her heart began to race and pound against her chest. A desire to kiss him lingered over her body as his sweet breath caressed her cheek. She just hoped her's didn't smell of mustard. He then slowly lifted his head and before he could she then grabbed hold on him and placed her lips against his. He tensed his muscles as Skyler held tightly around him. She slowly brought her hands slowly up his chest as he slid his hands down the arm rests of the chair and leaned closer to her pressing harder on her lips.

She held her breath trying hard to take in the feeling of his soft lips. She wanted the moment to last forever, but that didn't last long until the sound of another voice made her jerk away from him.

“Miss Luna.”

John and Skyler both looked up and found Vitcus standing a few feet away from them.
