To the Moon and Back (Royalty series #1)

Chapter 18- Light

I felt a familiar presence around me, I opened my eyes to see who it was. As I opened my eyes there he was, his messy but yet perfect down brown hair, his light skin that glowed much more because of the sunlight, he was the absolute meaning of perfection.

"Done staring?" He asked as he opened his eyes and smirked, I was surprised and my dumb ass accidentally slipped from the bed and I fell down the floor and he just laughed while I stood up and rolled my eyes before I pushed him towards the floor as well.

I walked away as he laid down at the floor before he grabbed my hand and made me lay down at the floor as well, he towered over me while I was underneath, his hazel brown eyes looking at my face as he got closer. We continued for minutes until the door opened and both Ace and I panicked and I stood up causing him to lose balance which made both of us to fall once again.

"Luna you there?" Avian talked awaiting a response from me

"Yeah just wait a second" I replied quickly while mouthing the words 'hide' to Ace. I opened the door and asked Avian what she was doing here and apparently Ace and I overslept and we were late for our tour at the Eiffel Tower of which they had to reschedule because of us, I then closed the door after we've finished talking while I saw that Ace had already gone out of the room as Avian was talking to me.

I got dressed and quickly went to the garage. Ace and I arrived at the Eiffel Tower, it was gorgeous, it was made from 7,000 metric tons of puddling iron, while it was wrapped around with lights of which gave light to every shop it surrounded, it was a living fantasy. People being happy as they stared in awe at the Eiffel tower's magnificent build. As I continued to stare in awe, Avian grabbed a hold of my hand and captured a selfie at the top of the Eiffel Tower, she squished my cheeks while I took a hold of hers too.

Before we continued at what Heid had planned this time around, we went to the Parisian Café since all of us were starving, I took a hold of my phone and was surprised as I saw my phone wallpaper, it was a picture of Ace and I

"Like your wallpaper Laiyllah?" Damian asked as they all continued giggling as I just stared at them, if only looks could kill.

Apparently, when Avian was taking a selfie of both of us, she grabbed a hold of my phone changing my wallpaper while claiming that she was 'editing' our photo. I continued to stare at it, we both looked happy like genuinely, we didn't have this facade that made us look happy but instead our feelings showed through our faces, our eyes were shining brighter than the stars, I was happy with him and he was with me as well, we completed one other which is why I decided to keep the wallpaper and it made me smile for the rest of the day.

Heid planned for all of us to go to a carnival nearby and me being the kid I was, I was happy and giggling as we went inside, France might be my hometown but I've never had the chance at going at an amusement park, we were split in groups. Ace, Avian, and I will ride together while Heid, Andrea, and Damian were another group, we all decided to ride 'Vikings' first. As the ride started, I laughed at Ace as his normal uptight and confident turned into an anxious and tired face as he was scared at the height the ride was going, I laughed as I took his hand and connected it with mine while he squeezed mine every time he wanted to scream, as we got off I laughed while Ace rolled his eyes annoyed at me.

As the night almost ended , we all decided for us to conclude our night at the photo booth. We all went inside squished as there were 6 of us while we laughed as well since Damian can't get inside but in the end he managed to fortunately. We took 6 copies, one for each of us.

As we got home, the others went straight to their rooms while I went to the garden in order to clear my mind, every time I look at the house or my brother, it reminded me of my father though I might not admit it, my father's death took a toll on me. It taught me that nobody can understand that what you have might be a step towards Death's door which is why you have to love life to the fullest

"Vivez la vie au maximum ma petite lune" his last words which translated to 'Live life to the fullest my little moon'. I'm sorry I failed you Papa I thought to myself but as I continued to stare off into my thoughts I realized I didn't fail him because this last few months had been something of which made me happy rather a specific someone, he showed me how to live, he showed me how to be happy, he showed me to live life to the fullest, he made me feel radiant and shine in a pool of darkness, he was my LIGHT.

"Luna" A familiar tone spoke as he made me lay on the grass along with him, as I inhaled his cologne I quickly realized who it was

"Ace" I spoke in return. No one spoke for the rest of the hour until,

"You know you're father never really died" he spoke as I stared at him cluelessly at what he said

"You see that star? It means your father is there looking at you as you continued to stare back at him, he might not be here but he's everywhere Luna, you're the moon while he's the light that bring radiance on your dark world." He spoke softly as I realized what he meant, I felt a drop of water roll on my cheeks as Ace put his hands on my face while moving his thumb to remove the tear from my face

"Don't cry baby, smile instead" he spoke as he smiled and I smiled in return. We spent the rest of the night laying on the grass as we continued stargazing but this time I wasn't sad, this time I had a smile plastered onto my face.

"May I ask though?" I asked

"What is it?"

"We're not even together officially, so why are you doing this?" I said staring down at the grass

"Then what do you call this? Do you think I'm just playing you for the meantime?" He arched his brow

"I didn't ask you because I thought you knew, but yes, I want you, no, I need you to be my girl not as a friend but something more. For me, you're already someone who I know as my girlfriend and of course I'll do everything I can to make you smile" He looked at me before he kissed the top of my head and before we star gazed once more.

Author's note :

A short one because I had one of the worst migraine and I just couldn't think of anything so this would most likely be considered a filler chapter but the good news is you'll get to solve the mystery of the package next chapter. Jusqu'à la prochaine fois :))
