Chasing His Rejected Luna 173
JADEAntonio’s hand was on my thigh throughout the meeting. I didn’t even tell him how I was feeling, but he somehow knew ad immediately went it and tried to comfort me. My heart did that weird flip thing it does when I’m thinking of him.I reached for his hand and intertwined our fingers. There was no way anyone would see because of the table, but I could almost feel Atlas’s disapproval from where he was sitting. The only reason I don’t pull my hand away is because of my stubbornness. Somehow trying to convince myself he wasn’t the boss of me. He doesn’t dictate what I do anymore.Not that he ever has before. He just silently expects me to do anything that would please him. Like, there is even no way I’ll think of doing anything he wouldn’t like. And I tried my best, for four whole years I did everything I could to gain his approval. Which he never gave might I add. He barely noticed me or my efforts.And now, that I’m finally happy and moving on, he wants to fight for me? Well, he s

ATLASPerfect doesn’t cut how Jade looks right now. Even if she is glowering at me, I couldn’t ignore how captivated I am by her. And her lips are moving, but all I focus on is their lusciousness, the light sheen of her lipgloss. That light pink that makes her looks sinful.My feet started carrying me to her but I stop before I do something stupid. It helped that the image of that wrapping his arms around her and kissing her flickered in my mind at that time.Did I want to pull her to me and kiss her until she forgot al about him? Until the memory of his hand son her body was nothing? Just that. I wanted it to be nothing.The thought of another man touching her. Having her. Everything that is mine, wrapped in the perfection that is her. It made my blood boil. And that must be the reason why I say the next thing I do.“Is he your boyfriend now?”The way Jade purses her lips in surprise only push me to want to ask her more questions. But she is staring at me in disbelief, like she could

JADEI expected Antonio to ask hat Atlas and I spoke about after I came out. But he didn’t. He just looked at me and asked if I was okay, which I think I nodded too, but I couldn’t be sure. My mind was still whirling from all that happened. The weird three sixty that Atlas did in one second. Him going back to his old self and acting like he could and then being surprisingly understanding and gentle. I was confused and worried something happened to him.Maybe aliens took over his over and are forcing him to act nice. Because the man I just spoke with, especially towards the end, was not the Atlas that I knew. And it was so damn confusing.The trip back wasn’t as enjoyable as it had been when we were coming. Even with the anticipation of what was going to happen and how nervous I was. I was more relaxed then than I am now. And I didn’t know what to blame it on.Antonio had wrapped his arm around my waist and I rested my head on his shoulder, falling asleep somewhere along the lines. I w

JADEI haven’t been fair to Antonio. I know that, and yes, I also know that I have been trying to elude myself into believing it isn’t actually that bad. But it is. And I know, if I keep doing that, I’ll end up pushing him away and hurting his feelings. That is the last thing I wanted to do to him.He is amazing and he makes me feel loved and appreciated. The leats I could do was return the sentiment.So, after we unloaded all of that. I promised myself to make it up to him, and I asked Jaiya what she thought I would do. At this point, Ray has joined us and they both went off mentioning different ways I could make it up to him.“Send him flowers.” Ray had said excitedly, fist pumping the air and almost punching me in the process.I dropped hr first and gently put it down, both Jaiya and I given her confused looks.“Men love flowers too. And they don’t get them nearly enough.” I added because that is actually right.But flowers seems mundane for the message I’m trying to send. Jaiya sa

ATLASAndrew was giving me the ch=old shoulder. And in all honesty, I didn’t give a shit. He was doing his focus and stain out of my business, what could be better than that?Then, he decided three days later that he was over the one sided fight and he barrelled into mu office, looking like a wounded animal with a snarl on his face.I ignored him until he spoke, then I asked myself if I wanted to acknowledge him. Deicing to be the bigger person. I hold my hands on top of my desk and fix my gaze on him.“Welcome back, what do you need?” I asked with a half ass sweet smile on my lips. He glared at me, not happy with the way I’m acting. But whatever bright him her was more important than his beef. He didn’t leave.“We need to talk.”“Oh, so now you want to talk?” I may not act like it but I’m petty as fuck. Especially when I’m dealing with him. That’s because he will go low and I’m always willing to go lower. Most importantly, we don’t take it to heart and we’re all cool in the end.“I d

JADERay found a way to get Antonio’s secretary’s contact. I don’t how she did it because when she said she could, I only stared at her blankly for a moment. But not up to five minutes later, she came back with the contact and a proud smile on her lips.“I told you I could do it.” She had replied with when I asked how she did it. “So, now just call and ask.”The secretary, Lloyd at first didn’t believe who I was. But when I said he should ask Antonio and get back to me, he apologised and told me his plans for the day and what time he was getting to work.“He asked to cancel his first meeting which was at eight. He will be here around that time or maybe a few minute later.”I quickly changed into something more appropriate and cute, with the eager help of Jaiya and Ray. My makeup was simple but amazing as I carried my bag and got out of the house. They were also helping e with most of what I was going to do today.Thankfully, I got to the office just a few minutes before he arrived. I

JADEThe unfortunate beginning didn’t set a tone for the rest of the day thankfully. After we had tea, I felt calmer and I apologised to Antonio for making him feel like I wasn’t giving this my all. Then I told him what I had planned for us for the day, it was supposed to be a surprise but well, I nervously blurted all of my plans.It didn’t matter that that too could have ruined the surprise, from a look at Antonio’s leased face, you could tell that he didn’t mind. Nor cared, really.“So, what’s the first the first lane for the day, love?” He had asked, moving back bit on the couch so he could look me in the eye.“We’re supposed to have brunch.” I replied and he got up, taking my hand.“Then let’s get right to it.” His words were spoken with a smile. His eyes were glowing with happiness. Like he couldn’t even hide it. “Spending the day with you sounds so much better than work.”“Oh, you shouldn’t skip work, you know—“ he cut me off with a kiss, I smiled against his lips before he ste
