Luna's POV
Zion texted me earlier, apparently were going to dinner when I leave work. And well now, I'm locking up the gallery. "Hey Luna" I heard from behind me, I turned around and seen Zion holding some flowers. "Those are pretty" I said looking at them, he smiled at me. "They're for you" he casually replies. I smile as he hands them to me. As if it was an instinct, I smell the flowers. I look up at him, he was smiling at me. "So um should we get going?" I ask him. He smiles, "oh yeah, I uh hope you still love sushi" he replied. I nodded my head and we began to walk. It was quiet at first but eventually we started laughing with one another. It felt great to be with him, it was like nothing bad ever happened between us. We reached this new sushi place, of course he he'd the door open for me. "Ladies first" he said to me, I look at him. "When did you become a gentleman?" I tease him, he rolls his eyes at me. "Ha ha you're hilarious" he sarcastically said. I laugh and walked in. "You know, I haven't been here. They opened up a couple months ago and I never had the time to come" I said to him. "How did you ever survive?" It was his turn to tease me. I playfully roll my eyes as he asked the host for a table. We follow the host to a booth in the back corner. "It's actually nice here" Zion says looking around. I do the same, noticing the different paintings. I felt eyes on me, I awkwardly look over at Zion. Who has a smile on his face as he watches me. "What?" I ask, he shakes his head. "As soon as you saw those paintings, your eyes went big" he chuckles and I do the same.

When dinner was over, he paid the ticket as I waited behind him. I look out the doors and seen paparazzi lined up. I begin to panic, Harry and I never went public about our breakup. I quickly turn to the hostess, "um is there a back exit?" I ask her. She looks back to the front of the restaurant. "Hold on" she says walking off. She returns with an older woman. "Follow me" she said. I grab Zion's hand and follow her. "So you were with Mr. Styles?" She asks. "Yes, we ended things when he left for tour" I reply. She looks back at Zion and I. "He's an old friend from LA. We haven't seen each other for three years" I tell her knowing she must think I'm some whore. "Through those doors, you'll be fine. No paparazzi" she smiles at me. I thank her and we walk out. I felt Zion looking at me, he must have questions. "I don't need to be on tmz for some scandal." I say breaking the silence. "You get that a lot?" He asks, his voice quiet. "They showed up at my apartment building and my gallery when Harry and I went public." I told him, I felt his hand hold mine. He was trying to give me some comfort, which I knew he still cared. I looked up at him and gave him a small smile. "ever since Harry, my life has been more in the public which has been hectic. Before you ask, yes he made me happy." I said looking at him, he looked at me. His expression was hard to read. "What are you thinking?" I asked him, we made eye contact. "I'm trying to think of a way to kiss you without making it awkward." he answered. I felt myself smile at his words. "like this.." I said leaning up to him. I felt our lips crush together, he smiled into the kiss. I could taste his coconut flavored chapstick. "I have miss this so much" Zion said looking down at me. Our foreheads were touching, "we should um we should go before the paps come" I said looking into his eyes. "yeah we should go but first" he said, before I had the chance to respond, he kissed me once again. This time it was more passionate than our first one this evening. "let's get you home" he said reaching for my hand. I gladly accepted it and we made our way to my house. We laughed and talked making our way down my street. When I saw my house in the distant, I remember Ollie. Zion has never been on the good list when it comes to Ollie. So I know this will come either good or bad. Zion had noticed my sudden change in mood. "what's wrong? you don't have some secret family you're hiding right?" he joked, I laughed at him. "No, it's just Ollie still might you know, hate you" I laughed. Zion stopped walking and looked at me. "you still have him?" he asked, I rolled my eyes and laughed. "of course I do, he's my best friend." I answered. I pulled him to my front d19+oor and walked to my door, I looked at Zion who was already looking down at me. "you um want to come inside?" I asked him, he gave me his signature smirk. "it's our first date and you already want to bring me home?" he teased me. I rolled my eyes and laughed with him. I playfully pushed him, "I take back the offer. You have a nice night...Caleb" I said walking into my house. I looked at him before I closed the door. I seen the look on his face. I don't think he knew that I would really take back the offer. Before I closed the door, he held the door open. Stopping it from closing, I looked up at him. Intrigued with what he was planning to do. I saw the look in his eyes, they grew dark, filled with lust. He walked in and began to kiss me. It began to get more and more heated. He picked me up and carried me to the couch. He sat down and I straddled his lap, his hands rested on my hips. My hands were on the back of his neck. He trailed kisses down to my neck, "Are you sure about this Luna?" he asked me. I nodded my head, he laid me down on the couch. This was going to be an eventful night.
