Forbidden Love • Peter Hale

VIII // Date Night

Yesterday Luna spent the rest of her evening at Peter's apartment. They talked a lot, about everything and nothing. They forgot the time, and Peter offered her a ride home. She got home after midnight and had to sneak in through the window. Lucky for her, Scott was at Kira's.

Luna smiled by thinking about yesterday. It was perfect. The way he looked at her, it made her feel special, like she was the only thing that was important.

Suddenly her phone rings and she is woken up from her day dreaming. She looks on her phone, Peter. She smiles out of excitement and answers it immediately, longing to hear his voice.

"Hello, sweetheart." Peter's lovely voice sounds.

Luna bites her lip. "Hey"

"I was wondering, if-if you want to go out tonight?" He stuttered. He sounded uncertain, and Luna's heart melted at the idea of Peter, the big bad wolf, having a soft spot for her.

She smiled in herself. "Yes, I'd love to."

"I'll pick you up at 7. I'll text you where I'll be, I don't want Scott seeing us."

"Okay. And where do you plan on taking me?"

"It's a surprise." He sounded excited, like a little kid.

"Okay, give me hint, I need to know what to wear?" Luna laughed.

"Think casual, but with a spark of formal"

"It's a date." She heard the front door opening. Scott. "Hey, I gotta go, Scott's home." She said, and didn't wait for him to answer.

The door opened and Scott peeked his head inside. "Hey, I'm back, who were you talking to?"

Luna shrugged. "Just Lydia, we're going shopping later"

Scott nodded approvingly and smiled. He closed the door again.

Luna stood up and walked to her closet. She opened it and sighed. She didn't take much with her when she came here, so she didn't have anything for tonight.

She looked at the time. 2 o' clock. Enough time to buy a dress. She took out her phone and called Lydia. She already told Scott she'd go shopping with her, so why not?

"Hey, Luna!" She heard Lydia's cheery voice.

"Hey Lyds. I wondered if maybe, you could come to the mall with me, I really need some new clothes."

"I'd love to, just let me change and I'll stop by!"

"Okay. See you soon"

~~~

After a few hours of shopping, Luna had finally found the perfect dress. It was red and elegant.

Lydia kept asking why she bought it, because there was no way, Luna would ever wear that to school. Luna always just answered, 'Family occasion'.

It was 6 o' clock and Luna looked at herself in the mirror. She'd never gone on a date before, this was her first first date. She looked at her hair. Okay, that needs to be fixed, now.

A minute later she stepped into the shower and let the hot water fall down. She washed her body with some fancy smelling shampoo of her mom's and her hair the same as usual. She got out of the shower and quickly dried herself. It was almost time.

She quickly did her makeup, which wasn't much, as usual, and blow dried her hair. Wow, it fell perfectly down her face, which didn't happen very often. Then she put on her dress and looked in the mirror.

Was it too much for a first date? God. It was, wasn't it? Why did she even buy this dress? She sighed and turned to her closet to take it off, when she heard a knock. "Come in"

Melissa opened the door and her mouth fell open. "Wow, Luna"

"Is it too much? It's too much, I knew I shouldn't have bought it!" Luna panicked and sighed.

"No, you look stunning! Where are you going?" She asked suspicious, her eyes squinting.

"A date." Luna simply answered with a smile.

Melissa smiled and raised her eyebrows. "Who is the lucky guy?"

"You don't know him." Luna shot back quickly, hoping her mom wouldn't ask anything else. She didn't.

Melissa slowly nodded and stood again. "Well, I'll leave you to it, then."

Luna sighed and decided to keep the dress on, Peter could be here any minute. She sprayed on some perfume and then received a text from Peter. He was waiting a block away from her house.

She smiled excitedly and almost ran out of the door. She walked to where Peter was supposed to be and immediately saw a limousine. Peter was standing next to it, looking proudly.

Peter watched her as she made her way to him. His mouth fell open. Wow.

"Hey" She said as she was close to him. He had a grey suit on, which made him very handsome. "You look nice"

"I look nothing compared to you. You look absolutely gorgeous." He said
smiling.

Luna felt the butterflies in her stomach and smiled back. Then she kissed him. "Thank you" She looked at the limousine. "Damn. So this is what a date with Peter Hale looks like"

The limousine took them a few towns over and stopped before an expensive restaurant. "Wow, Peter you don't have to spend so much money on me."

"I want to make you feel special," He said, caressing her cheek. "Because you are a special girl"

Luna smiled as he kissed her. They got out of the limousine and Peter held out his arm. Luna took it and they walked inside. She was distracted by the beauty of the restaurant itself, that she didn't even notice that they were at their table already.

"Table 101, for Mr. and Mrs. Hale." The waiter said smiling. Damn. Mrs. Hale, that sounds great.

After dinner they went for a walk through the city. Peter held out his arm and Luna took it. "I'm sorry that I acted so bitchy, to you and the pack."

Luna smiled. "You don't have to apologize. I already forgave you."

Peer returned the smile and kissed her on her cheek. "Are you cold?" He asks, his hand caressing her arm.

She nods. "Just a little."

Peter stops and takes off his jacket. He helps Luna put it on.

"Thank you."

They walk further and stop at a little square, where a saxophonist is playing. Peter throws some money in his coffer. He puts his arm around Luna's waist and pulls her close.

Luna lays her head on his chest and lets the beautiful sounds of the music flow into her ears. It's beautiful. She could stand and listen here for hours.

"I'm sorry if this was all too much." Peter suddenly says.

"Don't be, it was perfect, Peter." Luna smiles up to him.

He kisses her, just as the saxophonist plays a new song. It was, perfect. He couldn't remember the last time he liked someone this much, that he would spend so much money on her, to try to make her feel special. She was special.
