Becoming Luna [COMPLETE]

[CHAPTER TWO]

The ride was quiet and even though I could feel him looking at me I just kept my eyes on the street and it was after about 15 minutes that I realized that we're taking the highway..out of the damn city.

Well nice move Lizzie .. now you're in his car and he's about to get you out of town.. in the middle of nowhere..where he could easily kill you..and no one would ever know!!

"You don't believe that I would harm you in any way possible.. do you??" He said looking at me amazed and also hurt..

"Um..i was just saying..you know..you can be a serial killer for all I know..!" I responded like its nothing!

"what I'm about to show you might be overwhelming and scare you at first..but please ..please..don't EVER be afraid of me..I would never hurt you without hurting myself first.."

The last part was more like a whisper And now to avoid the awkwardness and also me thinking about anything that he'd be able to hear I moved my eyes back on the road, again..
after another two to four minutes later we came to a stop.. there was a really nice looking jungle in front of me.. after taking in the beauty of it I turned my gaze back to his eyes, where I could see lots of emotions floating at the same time, but there was one emotion that stood out for me, and that was something in between hesitation and fear..

As stupid as I am, I felt this need to comfort him, and so I did.. with a smile and passionate eyes staring back at him..
After a few moments of looking at one another, he took a deep breath and smiled back at me.

"So..what are we doing here again?" I asked.
I wanted it to be more precise and powerful but instead, it came out as a whimper and I had to mentally slap myself for that!

"We need to get into the woods first.
Do you think you can trust me with that?"

No! I immediately thought.

He looked taken aback for a split second and then hurt when I blankly looked at his face.

"Oh shit, no, I didn't mean it in a bad way!"
I said.. Trying to embrace this mess I made.. Because for some reason, I felt like I couldn't bear hurting him in any kind of way.
"You know.. We just met..and..and I can't just go on and say 'Yes I trust you with my life'.. It's.. it's just..not me.."

He took in my answer and then after inhaling deeply, he looked a little relieved.
And that was when I took out the breath that I had no idea I was holding.

"So, shall we?" I said and he nodded almost immediately.
"Just hold on a second" he replied and got out of the car quickly. I followed him with my eyes blankly, having no idea why he told me to wait. And right when he stopped in front of my door and opened it for me the realization hit me!

He wanted to open the God-damned door for me!
I rolled my eyes at him while getting out of the car and he let out a chuckle saying "what? I just wanted to be a gentleman!" And i rolled my eyes again and said "it's not a decent act to consider gentleman-like. Long story short, I can open up doors for myself, thanks for the gesture though!"

He looked confused and being the quiet girl that I am, I decided to think about the answer instead of saying it out loud.

Well, it's hard to explain, but you could say that when a guy comes up and opens up your door, it's basically like him, saying ' you're delicate, lemme take care of you, cuz you're incapable of doing that yourself" which in MY FEMINIST Terms is NOT what I would appreciate withstanding..

Holy shit, I could get used to this way of communicating! Its waaaay much better than talking !

"Wow..you..are..very amusing, my dear."
I raised my perfectly shaped eyebrow up at him, waiting to get more out of him..!

"Well.. I mean..i had no intention of making you feel incapable or anything.. Ugh, it's hard to explain like this.. I wish you could feel my emotions.. Anyways, as I was saying, I most definitely did NOT mean that but now that I'm thinking about it, I see your point.. And I couldn't feel more proud and into you"

Woaw, back off a Lil cowboy!

He laughed at my statement and I felt this surge of happiness getting through me too.

I loved it next to him..
It felt easy..unlike other guys that make you feel awkward all the time, that you wanna behead them, it was easy to go on with the flow with him, and to be myself, not that I used to pretend to be someone else in front of others..No..but it was somewhat easier and more delightful.

As we were shuffling through the tall trees with him taking the lead to God knows where, I took advantage of the moment and took him all in.. His beautifully muscled back..his hair..and the fact that it was so easy for him to roam the jungle..while I was struggling not to trip every single second!

Ugh, I wish I were more athletic.

"Do you want me to carry you?" Nate suddenly said out of nowhere. It was hard to tell, whether he was just mentioning that to make me feel who knows what, or whether it was sincere and honest!
I decided to go for the second one and not to let my insecurities to get the best of me, so I responded: "Nah, you'll hurt your back, and also it's safer like this, you may trip onto something and with me falling on you, I can easily turn you into a paper-thinned corpse!!" I joke but after blurting that out loud, I desperately hoped that he'll get the joke instead of awkwardly nodding!and after a split second he chuckled and motioned for me to get on his back while saying "common, I'm sure I can handle it, and even more about this being safe for you." He said with a smirk on his face, showing his amusement!

I just shrugged it off and smiled at him, making a weird face and looking silly with my closed eyes. He let out a loud laugh and pretended to come and get me which made me flinch playfully a little bit to the other side while yelping "hell No!"

While walking in a peaceful silence our hands brushed against each other a couple of times and I had this feeling that he wanted to hold my hand but decided otherwise. So I took the lead and intertwined our hands and looked at him for confirmation when I found him looking at our hands and tightening his grip on it even more, like it was so precious for him that he never would have wanted to let it go, or maybe I was just being a fool for thinking that way and my mind is playing tricks on me..

After less than ten steps further, we came to a stop and I removed my gaze from his blue eyes to the house in front of me and trying to taking it all in..
It was so spectacular..
