Scary Night ✔

Chap 8 (Feelings growing)

I woke up when the morning air hit my chest. Rubbing my eyes, I looked around. My eyes were searching for Luna since she wasn't on the couch. I walked up to her room but it looked like nobody ever slept there as the covers seemed untouched. Then I made my way to my bedroom, she was neither there. I searched out the whole condo but she wasn't anywhere.

"Did she again try to-- No no no she can't?", I ran my hands through my hair in tension as the scene of the night when she was swaying on the ledge crossed my mind. Just as I turn around to walk up to the door I heard a voice.

"Oh, you're already up."

My eyes meet someone I was ever this eager to see.

She was holding a pack of organic eggs with some cookies, butter and fresh milk. I grabbed her for a hug all of sudden.

"Are you all right?", I asked, releasing a sigh of relief seeing her safe and sound.

"I just went to buy some eggs since there was not any left in your kitchen", she managed to speak hardly as I had almost squeezed her.

"You could've asked me", I said, still hugging her.

"You were sleeping", she continued.

"And I'm fine Shawn don't worry", I could hear her giggles.

"I just got worried. A little bit", quickly pushing her away from me, I took eggs from her hands and made my way to the kitchen.

"Since you're staying with me you've to follow some rules ", she followed me.

"First of all, you won't go anywhere without informing me. Second, you can only go out if I allow you", she began to squeeze orange juice.

"Third, you're not allowed to go out after six o'clock", she grabbed a knife to crack the shell and tip the egg, straight into the hot fat.

"Fourth, if you want to order anything, just order it with my card", tilting the pan, I used a teaspoon to scoop the surplus hot oil over the top of the egg until the yolk was cooked of my liking.

"Fifth", I was about to state the next condition when she cut me off saying "I'm agreed to all of them", pouring the juice in two glasses she made her way to the table.

We set everything on the table and started eating.

"These eggs are so well cooked", she said after taking one bite of egg with bread.

I smiled at how she was eating like little babies.

"So you know, practically, everything about me. Tell me something about you", she asked when I choked on my juice.

What am I gonna tell her now? That I'm a singer? She might leave after knowing this.

"I'm a twenty-one year old. My parents live in the same city with my little sister", she got excited when she heard about Aaliyah.

"Do you have a sister?", she asked out of excitement.

"Yeah, she's so sweet. I love her so much. You would also love to meet her", I smiled.

"Can I meet her?", she asked in little disappointment.

"Of course", a big curve grew on her face.

"You got something there", I pointed at her lips when she wiped off the butter with her sleeves.

What's happening to me? When she wasn't in front of me earlier, I got too worried. It's not that she's gonna stay with me forever. Then why I'm becoming like this?

Why I feel so good when I'm with her?

Why I feel sad when she's out of my sight?

Why?
