Luna

Chapter 20

Previously on Luna:

"You shall be mine" I must look like a crazy person mumbling to myself as I made my way and reached to grab the box. As I watched my hands moving towards it, out of the corner of my eyes I saw another hand reach for the same box. I turned to my left, wanting to see the person who was trying to steal my lifeline. My eyes flew wide open as I saw who it was.

*****************************************************************************************

He was the most beautiful human being I have ever seen. His tall slender figure was no match to his handsome face. My mouth fell open awe as he shook his hair trying to move the bangs that had fallen over his eyes. Saliva began to pool in my mouth as I wondered how well defined his abs were that he was hiding in that baggy sweater and sweatpants.

"I am sorry". Even his voice was angelic.

"umm no I am sorry"

"Here you should have it" my eyes darted to his hand, the long fingers that were currently holding the box mid-air.

"No you should have it" I pushed the box towards him, in the process touching his fingers ever so lightly.

He smiled at me showing off his middle crooked tooth which made him look like a bunny.

"Don't worry. I already have a box at home," He placed the box in a shopping basket and handed it to me "I was buying just in case my brother already ate all of it".

All that came out of me was an "oh". This man was sculpted like a Greek god, and was still so humble and kind, which was becoming a rarity in men.

I told my brain to get it together and blurted out a "Thank you" while giving him a little bow. He chuckled, extending his hand, "Name is Justin. Nice to meet you".

"Luna, and likewise" I returned the handshake putting off the biggest smile I have ever given, my cheeks tingling with a slight burning sensation.

"I have to go now, but I will let you in on a little secret..." he gestured me to come closer and he whispered into my ear "throw in some banana milk, it is effing delicious... shhh".

His closeness and voice sending chills to my very core, he smiled, turned around and giving a little wave before disappearing to the right.

I stood there starstruck for what felt like minutes before an employee came and asked if I was alright. I mumbled a yes and went off to the fruits and vegetables section. I couldn't wait to go back home and tell Mia about the stranger I just met.

I went back to the apartment, two grocery bags in my hand when I realized I forgot to buy the sandwiches. I cursed myself before dropping them off and running out again. Mia was fast asleep and she looked too peaceful to be disturbed so I let her sleep more. After having some food inside of me, the fatigue caught up and I fell asleep at the table.

I woke up to the sound of running water. Mia was putting on a kettle for some tea. Pain shot through my shoulders, traveling to my neck as I tried to sit up straight. I winced through it slapping myself mentally for falling asleep here and not in bed.

"Oh you poor baby" Mia came closer and patted my head before taking a step back, "Ewww you stink, go shower"

"mmmmm" I cracked my neck to both sides, trying to wake myself and get the feeling away from my neck.

"I made pizza" my eyes opened a bit wider scanning the microwave and then the counter tops for said pizza. Seeing there were no pizza in sight I gave Mia a death stare.
