The next morning as I woke up I was enthused. The truth is that I didn't sleep properly last night after sleeping late thinking of how it was hung to that meaning when I saw him.
I rehearsed so many things I was going to tell him among which I hoped he would forgive my selfishness and forgive me too. He wasn't perfect and has hurt me but for reasons beyond me, I just wanted to talk to him.I took my bath before I would come out Jewel was already inside helping me sort out my dresses.“Morning, Luna” she greeted. “hope you slept well? How was yesterday?” she went on without giving me a chance to answer her greeting.So impatient!I was practically on-air with happiness though and was willing to answer her “Went very well. She wasn't as I had intended she would be. Very hospitable. We became can't friends”She stopped in the middle of what she was doing and came closer. Itching for gossip I can tell “You mean sheJust before I get my bearing, Nora was already banging her hand in the door. She said he usually locks it from the inside since it was lonely out here and he was the only one around.The door didn't take long to rattle before it swung open with no one at the other end.“He controls it from the inside. Come on stop looking like a lost mouse. When this is over, you owe me a good treat don't forget that”We went in the door banging behind us “Brother!”“Nora would you be so kind as to tone down your voice, it's still early and I still need to sleep. I didn't sleep last night and I was a bit drunk”The voice was coming from an intercom, making me want to fling myself across the room to wherever it's coming from to entrap its owner in a bear hug. I miss him so much. He was drunk? Oh, my God.“Why were you drunk?” Nora asked having a mischievous smirk on and when I tried to stop her she gave me a signal to shut
“Why did you speak to her?” his cold voice came at me.I didn't want to venture in that direction. We just came out of a chaotic situation and I knew how fragile that particular topic is to him so I didn't bother talking about it.“Can we go home now? Please” I said instead pretending not to hear what he said.He huffed and flipped on a nearby leather lounge “My parents are very deceitful. I won't want you close to them. I told you that day that I wouldn't want you relating to them. I plan to avoid them as much as I can until___”“Leo let's not talk about your parents now. I know how you feel about them and respect that. I won't push, I won't fight or badger you into talking to them, I promise” I raised my hands in solidity.He kicked go lips his icy eyes slowly returning to normal. He stood and started walking to the place he came from. “Where are you going?” I asked.“I need to sleep in
“What fate are you talking about?”She shifted on the couch to me. “You are a very powerful woman, Luna. You have powers untold that are inside that needs freedom. Why are reluctant to accept them?”I was getting more confused. I just found out I had powers not long ago and then I was attacked and then other things had followed when did this goddess of theirs think I'm supposed to accept my powers? Uh more I think about it I can't help but want risks. Where were these powers of mine when I was being pummeled by Belinda in that hellhole?However, I didn't ask her instead, I smiled and came closer “I'm aware that you are a priestess and all that and you understand that I'm am human” I gauge her reaction to continue “Please can you share with me how I'm supposed to Discover this powers you talk about because so far I haven't seen anything yet”Her eyebrow knitted in thought and so did her facial expression. “What
It had only been a few hours since I left the house, but once we came back I felt the relief wash over me at seeing the structure. The driver pulled over and Leonard came out to assist me out of the car.Sandy was standing with my aunt who I was surprised to see standing with her by that time of the day with her son standing by her side.They came forward to greet us her son rushing into Nora's arm in total glee.“Garret is nice seeing you,” I said and hugged her “You should have called me to tell me you were around”She doesn't look good. I excused myself from the rest and took her hand to walk off to the house “What is the problem? Did anything happen?”“No, I just came to check on you to make sure you were alright” I wanted to believe what she said but something still gnawed at me that she wasn't saying the truth.“Garet imagine as you can see so spill it what is it? I can't help but feel that som
When night finally came, I rushed up from sitting in the living room listening to my friends talk without paying any attention. I was rummaging through my undies bag, to check for something very attractive I would wear that night to wait for Leonard, that I didn't know where he is at the moment.I had almost trashed three clothes as unfit when someone knocked on the door. My heartbeat plummted thinking it was Leonard who was at the door. I paused in what I was doing at second thought. He never knocked when he wants to come in so it couldn't possibly be him. “The door is open” I blurted and waited to know who it was.The door opened and Jewel came in. I pinched my eyes closed in trepidation. “Why did you take so much time at the door? I was thinking it's someone unfamiliar” I careened and turned back to continue my search. “Luna, I have something for you” she stuttered on feet at the door.I observed her disposition. “What is t
The next morning after I had tossed and turned on the bed waiting hopelessly for the bright light to peek through the clouds. I finally for once since I bought the alarm, appreciated its worth.After taking an express bath, I rushed out of the room down hoping they were back but no they weren't. I was disappointed. I sat through the breakfast listening to Sandy bicker my ears to death without the slightest interest in what she was saying.I knew she missed them too but as usual, as she does, was trying to make herself happy in order not to think about their absence.“ I'm going back to school after the baby. I already told Adrian and made him understand there is nothing he could do about it. I intend to get my master at 25” she quipped tossing an oyster in her mouth.I chewed lazily into the caesar said I have been sluggishly chugging down since god knows when.“Mmmm” I hummed and continued looking at her so it won't be as though I wa
When we got to the living room, we almost collided with Leonards Mom who was coming down form the stairs. She stopped when she saw me with her face morphing into a smile “How are you, Luna?” she questioned.I nodded and shifted on my feet feeling guilty at not going to see her since the last time.“I'm fine thank you” I mewled.“It's not your fault that you haven't chuckled on me. I know what happened. The pack is in disarray with the attacks going on..But don't worry, everything would be alright” she came down the last step and patted me “Who is his beautiful lady?” she asked and walked past us.I noticed Sandy didn't say anything to her so I nudged her. “Uhm...she is my friend”“Her best friend” Sandy chipped in making me roll my eyes.The lady rumbled with laughter. I liked the sound of her voice. Reminded me of the early morning summer news. Very melodious.“I like th
When I reached the living room at the speed of light, I was surprised to see only Nora who was about to climb the stairs before she saw me.“Hey” she grinned which I could dissect to be a mask.“How could you have left like that? You should have at least told me something. Where is Leo? I'm very angry with him. If he would often leave me like this___”“Calm down. Everything had happened very unexpectedly. I can't tell how it happened myself.” she told me coming down to meet me. I could tell she was tired from the worry lines on her face. A huge black bag hung under her eyes.I righted myself “How are you?” I cradled her face “You look like death itself. Come here you need food and then you will rest” I dragged her to the dining.“Is that punky pup?” I heard Sandy ask, trying to meet with us.Nora came to stop and face her with a threatening glare “I've told you don't call me t
