Lucien asked Luna out! Let's see how it turns out.
Chapter 14 – The Time Of Our Lives
Lucien's POV
"Do you have any idea what the hell I went through when you were gone?!" Mom shrieked.
Yeah to skip the conversation my mom and I are having, I got grounded for sneaking out at night to watch Luna sleep. I'm surprised at when dad told me when mom woke up, the first thing she said was 'Where is Lucien?' That really made dad all nervous while trying to cover for me.
Anyway, I had to endure the whole morning with mom telling me how freaking worried she was hearing I was gone the whole night. Trust me, she was all momma bear mode except this momma bear was angry at her cub. Lucas told me how grandma Tiffany was like that when these hybrids kidnapped mom as a kid and she took her rage out on Lucas nearly ripping his head off. I can see where mom gets that from. Did I forget to tell you that mom going on and on and on about her worries was only at our cottage? Try listening to her as we walked our way to the main house on Sunday morning.
"Out on your own in the middle of the night! Do you know how dangerous it is at that time?! What if those metal vampires were out there and attacked you?! Never in all my life have I had such a heart attack about your disappearance! When I see Edward and Lucas, I will kill them for giving you the idea of watching Luna sleep, in the middle of the night! And then I'll kill Alice for not telling me about this!"
"How long is she gonna keep this up?" I asked dad as mom continues ranting on.
"Just until we get to school tomorrow where your mother will have a new personality, like what's happening now." Dad said pointing out as if he was signaling to mom.
"I'm such a horrible mother for not waking up earlier to stop this." She sobbed as dad rubbed her back. Then just when we were at the front door at the main house, mom went right back to being pissed.
"What the hell is going on with you guys?" Jacob asked us as we arrived at the living room where everyone is at.
"We have ears like a hawk. I'm sure Canada would've heard that." Nessie said.
"What are yelling about Lucina?" Grandma Tiffany asked.
"Lucien, what did you do to piss off your mother?" Grandpa Jalen asked. That's when Evan covered his mouth from bursting into laughing at what he saw in my head while Edward and Lucas were stifling theirs as Alice giggled. Emmett looked at me and at the four of them back and forth.
"Okay, what do you guys know that we don't? Because even Lucas here knows and he can't read peoples' thoughts." He asked in annoyance as everyone else looked at them until Lucas spoke.
"Lucien went out to watch Luna sleep at night!" That caused him and Evan and Edward to burst out laughing while everyone minus me, being embarrassed, and mom joined in.
"IT'S! NOT! FUNNY!" Mom said. "And I'm gonna kill you three!" She said as she chased after Edward, Lucas and Alice as they ran out of the room laughing.
"What is with you guys watching human girls sleep?" Bella asked laughing.
"In my defense, I just wanna be sure that nothing bad happened to Luna in case of those metal vampires were there." I said.
"So you just stayed there on guard for what four hours and watch her sleep?" Sarah teased causing me to turn a bit red.
"Okay, as funny seeing that Edward and Lucas have rubbed off on you, I have to agree with Lucina. You shouldn't have gone out like that." Esme said to me. Of course she'd say that.
"Yes Lucien, I understand you're worried about Luna for her safety but that doesn't mean you should risk your life and fly right out the window." Carlisle said.
"Even though that was bad ass. OW!" Emmett cried when Rosalie smacked his head.
"Guys, it's not that I don't need you all to stop babying me like I'm being annoyed but I can take care of myself." I said.
"That's what I said back when I was human and look how I ended up from my asthma attack. But it was all good though in the end." Dad said.
"Like father, like son." Grandma Tiffany commented.
"Okay so you guys worried about me but not Evan and Sarah when they first phased and they have to patrol most of the days from other vampires?" I asked.
"Actually I still wouldn't want Sarah to be out fighting vampires." Jacob said.
"Dad!" Sarah said to him.
"He's not wrong." Evan said.
"Shut up Thomas!" Sarah said punching his arm.
"Lucien, we understand how you feel but we almost lost you six years ago after what happened and you're just starting to become your old self." Krystal said.
"There's no way we're losing you again from a possibility of those metal vampires being there." Rosalie said.
"Just try to not to do something so reckless again so that I don't have to deal with your mother's ranting." Jasper said chuckling as mom came back pouting as she was being held by Lucas and Edward who set her down on the couch as Alice followed them, smiling.
"You guys should know I'm not that fragile. I'm only twenty-five percent human." I pointed.
"Even so, you're still my baby." Mom said.
"I look like a fifteen or sixteen year old, mom." I said.
"You're only eleven." She pointed out.
"Look, I said I'm sorry for worrying you." I said.
"That doesn't change the fact that you're grounded for sneaking out in the middle of the night." Mom said. Ah man.
"Okay moving that aside, what do we got on the update on those metal vampires?" Lucas asked.
"Marcus and the others haven't found anything since we told them yesterday." Edward said.
"Our friends haven't seen anything but they're keeping an eye out while staying on their guard." Esme said.
"What about Benjamin and the others?" Carlisle asked.
"I still can't find Raymundo. Even if he split himself I would still find him since I picked it up from our first encounter." Grandpa Jalen said.
"The pack hasn't found anything back in their lands and neither could the ones back in Forks." Jacob said.
"I still can't see anything that's out of the ordinary." Alice said. "It's a possibly that whoever's behind this is using Miley's gift to lead me off track with her false imagery skill."
"I'd still like to know how Miley and the others have come back." Krystal said.
"And where on earth did they get a new look of being made of metal in a way that's hard for us to rip them apart?" Evan said.
"How is that you don't know about this, Carlisle?" Emmett asked him.
"I don't know because not even Vladimir knows about it or has even seen it." Carlisle said.
"Maybe it's a new kind of gift that is yet to be discovered." Nessie said.
"I don't it think was a gift Nessie; it seems to be more like… a way." Edward said. "You saw how the metal vampires were all controlled and spoke."
"What does he need our gifts for though? What happens after that if he succeeds?" I asked. There was silence and everyone had that look like they don't wanna know.
"Whatever the reason is or the motives for it, we can't let that happen." Carlisle said. "When it comes to power, it comes with a price such as Edward hearing the thoughts of others, or Jasper feeling their emotions. Possessing one gift or two is one thing but to have control of more than that, not like how Aro has done it, could lead to corruption. Not just for the person, but to both our worlds."
God, I can't imagine what would happen if this person has achieve his accomplishments. Just who would be that desperate to collect power?
Monday came which means it's time for school. Boring. On the bright side though, I get to see my girlfriend Luna. That feels so weird to say it but… nice. It's just too good to be true. Luna's the most beautiful girl that has ever existed. There is a part of me that doubted I really deserve her. Shut up! I thought smacking my forehead causing everyone to look at me weirdly.
"What? I thought a fly was on my face." I said causing everyone to laugh.
"Okay you guys, you should get on to school." Grandma Tiffany said giving me a kiss. "Have a good day Lucien."
"I will grandma." I said. "I'll meet you guys there." I said grabbing my keys to the car.
"Anxious enough to see Luna that you wanna drive her to school?" Jasper asked causing me to feel red as the guys snickered. Why does it have to be me? I turned to my parents nervously since I'm still grounded which means my car is possibly off limits.
"Okay, but your car is only used for school." Mom said after she sighed.
"Thanks mom!" I said kissing her cheek before I ran out the door of the main house and jumped into my car, start the engine and drove off. I guess I was too excited to see Luna again because I arrived at her door in like five minutes. I rang the doorbell and I was happy to see who it was that answered it.
"Hi Luna." I smiled.
"H-Hi Lucien." Luna said blushing. God, she's beautiful when she does that. "Um why don't you come in?" She said letting me inside and I did.
"Hi Lucien!" Korrina said waving to me with a huge smile on her face when Luna and I walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Korrina." I smiled to her. Man she must really like me already.
"Oh Lucien, good morning." Maureen said smiling to me. "What brings you to our home?"
"Well I thought it'd be okay if I drive Luna to school." I said.
"Well if Luna doesn't have any objections to it then sure." Maureen said with a smile. Thank you, Dr. Snow. "That will make things easier with me just dropping Korrina to school before I go to work." Yeah but most importantly, I get to spend some time with Luna.
"Then it's settled then." I smiled turning to Luna that made her blushed. There are some advantages for having your dad's charm.
"I guess we should get going then." Luna said. "I just need to go grab my bag."
"I'll meet you outside." I said and then headed out and went to my car.
As I was waiting, I hear Maureen talking to Luna; saying how happy she is for her. Wow, it sounds like Maureen approves of me. Have I really brought something out of Luna that much when we first met? I wonder what me and Luna would be like if her dad was still around.
"Everything okay?" I asked when Luna came out and got inside my car.
"Yeah," Luna said assuring me that it is with a look but I knew better. I reached out to hold Luna's hand and Luna's heartbeat was acting up but settled down afterwards. This feels so right.
"Let's go then." I smiled and then pulled out of Luna's driveway and on the road heading to school. A few minutes later, we arrived at the school parking lot where the students are hanging around before school starts. I turned off the car, I got out and slid across from the front over to Luna's side where I opened the door for her.
The minute Luna got out of my car, heads turned to our direction. You have got to be kidding me. I thought.
"Um, everyone's staring at us Lucien." Luna whispered to me as we started walking.
"Well not everyone," I said and pointed out. "I think that guy just saw it. Besides," I smirked. "I am breaking the rules anyway."
"Rules?" Luna asked in confusion.
"You heard what everyone says about me and my family. Well, they're about to see me like they've never seen before. Like this." I said as I took Luna's hand causing some of the students nearby to gasp. Oh come on people, it's not like you never seen a boy and girl become a couple before.
"Come on, my family's waiting for us." I said.
"Wait what?! Your family, now?!" Luna asked. Judging from her tone, she's panicking.
"Well yeah, is there a problem?" I said when I stopped and so did Luna. "I know it's soon but I just wanna introduce everyone to my girlfriend. I mean if you want to be called that." I said nervously.
"No, no, I mean, I want to be called your girlfriend," Luna said causing me to smile. "It's just that… well, what if your family doesn't like me?" I couldn't help but chuckle at her reason.
"Don't worry; they'll love you. They're really excited to meet you, mostly Alice so be ready." I said.
"Okay." Luna said and I took her hand again as we walked towards where my family are hanging around near their cars. I could hear Luna's heart beat acting out as she gulped.
"Hey guys, I'd like you all to meet Luna Snow. Luna that's Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Edward, Bella, Lucas, Krystal, my brother Bryce and his girlfriend Lucina, you already met my cousin Evan and that's his twin sister Sarah." I said through the introduction.
"Um, hello everybody." Luna said nervously.
"Hi!" Oh no. I thought as Luna jumped when Alice jumped in right in front of her looking way beyond excited. Maybe I should introduce the family and Alice, separately. "It's so nice to finally meet you Luna! I can tell Lucien is so into you! You and I should definitely go shopping together! You and I can have so much fun! We'll be best friends! I can tell! I'm super excited!" Okay, even for a vampire that was too much. I know vampires don't need to breathe but how could she talk like that in one breath?
"Okay Alice, you're overwhelming her, and us, again." Lucas said pulling Alice away from Luna and handed her to Jasper. Thank you Lucas. "Sorry about this little pixie. She gets excited over everything and I mean everything." Lucas said to Luna as Alice stuck her tongue at him.
"You live with her long enough and think she's settled down now but no." Bella said laughing. Luna looked a bit nervous as she didn't say anything. That's when I saw Jasper send his waves around Luna to calm down.
"No need to be nervous Luna," Jasper said smiling. "We're just happy that we all get to meet you."
"By that he means normal happy unlike this girl here." Krystal said pointing out to Alice.
"Well, I'm happy I get to meet you all." Luna said giving them a small smile.
"You don't know how Lucien is like since he met you. He wouldn't stop thinking about you." Edward said chuckling causing me to give him a dirty look even though I was embarrassed. Stupid shield!
"Look, whatever you heard about us are nothing to listen to." Rosalie smiled to Luna.
"Yeah! Now come here!" Emmett said as he swoops in and scoops Luna in his arms for one of those bear hugs.
"I-can't-breathe!" Luna tried to say as Emmett spun her around.
"Emmett!" He's gonna suffocate her! That's when Emmett grinned when he put Luna down causing her to get dizzy. Can I hit him?!
"Sorry about him, he's such a child sometimes." Sarah said. "Like my brother here."
"Hey!" Evan said in offense and started arguing with Sarah as I led Luna to my parents.
"It's nice to meet you Luna." Dad smiled as he shook Luna's hand.
"Mom, can you tell dad not to use his charm on my girlfriend?" I asked her mentally causing mom to silently chuckle.
"It's nice to meet you too." Luna said. She then turned to my mom who surprised her with a hug.
"I'm sorry," She said when she let go wiping away the tears she has. "It's just that Lucien means a lot to me and you don't know how happy I am that he has you." Oh mom. I thought.
"Wow, thank you Lucina." Luna said feeling touched as mom smiled.
"Come on, we should get to class." Sarah said when the five minute bell rang.
"Ah screw the classes. OW!" Emmett cried when Rosalie smacked his head.
"I'm with him on that. OW!" Evan cried when Sarah punched his arm.
"I'll walk you to your class." I said taking Luna's hand as we all walked inside the school building.
Everyone was whispering once again when they saw us mostly on me and Luna due to the hand holding. We soon went separate ways for classes not before dad patted my shoulder as mom gave me a hug adding a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Here's your stop." I said as we arrived at Luna's first class. "I'll see you after class."
"Bye Lucien." Luna said and I hugged her before took off.
As the hours go by, I hear people talking about Luna and me and how most of the student body were asking her questions about us. Damn, why is everyone so hung up about us?
"So how's my little boy doing today?" Mom whispered to me that I was able to hear as she walked me to my second period class which is Biology where she is the T.A. in my class.
"Well I heard people are talking nonstop about a girl that's dating a guy from this family in our school." I said.
"Yeah, people are believing that they are being punked." Mom giggled as I rolled my eyes.
"Oh what, hand holding and calling Luna my girlfriend isn't proof enough to them?" I asked.
"Well it's not enough for you two or else you wouldn't call yourselves boyfriend and girlfriend if you haven't gone out on a date yet. Why don't you do that?" Mom asked.
"Oh I would but I have one delay." I said. Mom looked at me in confusion.
"Delay?"
"Aren't I grounded?" I asked her mentally causing mom to sigh.
"Okay, maybe I overreacted a little about what happened last night," Mom said.
"A little?" I asked disbelief.
"My point is, you put me through hell and I hate the idea of losing you." Mom said and then mentally added. "I care about your safety Lucien and I can't stand the idea of something bad happening to you."
"I get it mom. I'm sorry." I said to her as I pulled her close to me for a hug. There's no difference really communicating mentally with or without touch.
"You're forgiven." Mom said.
"You never told me, how long am I grounded for?" I asked her. Mom thought for a moment.
"Hmm, what if I say you're grounded until this Friday after school?" She asked.
"You're serious?!" I asked in shock.
"Unless you don't have plans with Luna for the weekend, we can make it longer until then." Mom smirked.
"No! I'll definitely ask her this weekend! Thanks mom!" I said saying the last part mentally hugging her as we walked into the classroom causing some students to look at us weirdly. I don't care. Class ended when time flew by as did the next class and it was now lunch and I was waiting outside of Luna's classroom.
"Hey," I said when she came out of Biology.
"Hey," Luna smiled as I took her hand.
"Where's Damien?" I asked. He wasn't in first period this morning and I thought he'd be showing up late but I guess not.
"I texted him earlier and he's at home sick since Sunday." Luna answered. Well that sucks for him.
"Damn, I hope he gets better soon." I said as we walked together to the cafeteria.
"I'm sure he'll be fine with his father taking care of him." Luna said as I nodded.
"Well once again, we don't have to worry about him being alone at lunch or we would've made things weird for Damien if we let him sit with us and my family." I said.
"I don't think it's weird." Luna said. "It's just that well… Damien has a crush on Sarah."
"Yeah, I pretty much knew that." I said.
"You did? Does Sarah know?" Luna asked.
"Nope." I said and then mentally laugh. "She's all into her studies and doesn't really associate with other boys at this school. It's not that she doesn't get offers, she does. How can she not? I have Algebra class with her and Damien and he sit next to her. I saw him staring at her while she's taking notes. He does that all the time. He stares at Sarah like her and Evan's brother Jacob stare at a new Lamborghini. How could she not notice it for this long?" I chuckled.
"And you never told Sarah about it?" Luna asked.
"I don't meddle into people's love life. That's Alice's job." I said chuckling again.
"Well just so you know, it's not that Damien would feel weird being with you guys and Sarah, it's just that Damien's a bit… shy to talk to Sarah." Luna said.
"Really. Hmm," I said. That's interesting. I thought as we made it inside the cafeteria where everybody is already at and I led Luna to the table where everybody is sitting.
"About time you two show up." Evan said as I got Luna a chair to sit down before I sat next to her.
"We were just talking Ev." I said to him.
"Sure, talking. OW!" Emmett cried when Jasper smacked his head. Please god, don't let Emmett embarrass me. I thought.
"Knock it off, you're embarrassing the new lovebirds." Jasper said. "Mostly Luna." He said.
"Maybe I shouldn't be here." Luna said about to get up
"No don't." I said holding her hand to stop her. Please don't leave. Emmett, if she leaves I will so never forgive you!
"Nice going Emmett." Rosalie said smacking his head.
"Less than a day and she now wants to leave us." Krystal said to Emmett.
"N-No, no, it's just that… well, I feel like, with everyone watching us now and well…" Oh don't tell me.
"Don't worry about us Luna. Everyone here is just curious about us wanting to be friends with you." Edward said with a smile.
"Yeah, it's just because there's nothing else to talk about besides sports, music and celebrities since there's nothing really happening much here in the city." Lucas said to Luna. "New kids are always the talk of the town but it'll die out. I give it about a week or two."
"Are you sure it's okay?" Luna asked still in the spot to get up.
"Of course," Sarah said.
"Don't worry about it." Bella smiled.
"Please? Stay." I said. Maybe I sounded like I was begging but can you blame a guy?
"Okay." Luna said putting herself down in her seat causing me to smile as I gave her a firm squeeze on her hand. Why can't I hold her hand forever?
"Just so you know, we don't care about our reputation at this school." Mom said.
"Yeah we already went through too much from one of the previous schools we went to." Emmett said.
"What happened at your old school?" Luna asked. Oh you don't wanna know.
"That school was being so stereotypical of students staying in the status quo where they can treat other students below them like shit." Dad said as most of us to shake our heads.
"Don't even get started on the principal." Rosalie said. "At least he got fired when the superintendent finally found files that failed to be reported and these students who tried to cause us trouble big time got expelled." Not mention about what that guy Orion tried to do getting grandpa Jalen to break up mom and dad so that he could have a chance with mom. He got what he deserves.
"Serves them right." Dad said.
"Wow, I never knew a school could be like that." Luna said. "That's way worst than when…"
"Yeah, Lucien told us about this Patrick guy bullying you." Jasper said. "We're sorry for what he did."
"I can't believe he would be such an ass to you." Sarah said as Evan shook his head.
"I don't know what you ever did to get him and everyone he makes do cruel things to you." Rosalie said sneering. Yeah, what did she ever do to him?
"I wish I knew." Luna said. That's when Edward was looking at Luna, reading her mind. Maybe he'll tell me about it.
"So Luna," Luna turned when Alice spoke to her. "How about that shopping trip?"
"Um, I'm not much of a shopper since I've never shop with anyone except with my mom and sister." Luna said.
"What!" Alice said as if she was insulted.
"Oh no." I said. She shouldn't have said that.
"Here we go again." Krystal said.
"We are definitely going shopping soon!" Alice said. "You need a new look! We need to buy you new clothes, dresses for when you go on dates, parties, dances and –"
"Alright, that does it!" Lucas said as he and Krystal got up and dragged Alice with her in her chair away from the table out of the cafeteria.
"Ignore Alice, shopping solves everything in her book. Don't worry about her; I'm not much of a shopper myself." Bella said to Luna.
"And just in case Alice goes too far such going through your clothes without you knowing, my sister Tiffany will take care of that." Mom said causing us to laugh. I saw Luna feeling so relax now being comfortable with us.
The rest of the lunch hour was us telling Luna about ourselves as well as my family getting to know her. That's when the bell rang meaning it's time to get back to class.
"It was nice meeting you Luna." Rosalie said as we all got up.
"Hell yeah it was!" Emmett said as he came at Luna again lifting her for another bear hug.
"Emmett!" We said as he laughs when he puts Luna down.
"We'll see ya later." Jasper said pretending to tip off a hat like a cowboy.
"We really need to shop." Alice said squealing.
"Come on," Jasper said taking her arm and dragged Alice to her next class.
"You should come to our house sometime." Edward said to Luna.
"Yeah, the rest of our family would love to meet you." Lucas said.
"I mean sure you met Carlisle but you know what we mean." Krystal said.
"You should come over this weekend." Bella smiled.
"Yeah, it'll be fun having you around!" Evan said flinging his arm over Luna's shoulders with a grin.
"Evan, get off of her. What are you trying to do, steal Lucien's girlfriend?" Sarah teased. He better not. I thought as Sarah turned to Luna. "Nice chatting with you Luna." With that everyone else left leaving me alone with Luna and my parents.
"Well we should get going, don't wanna be late for class." Dad said. "Hope we can hang out again soon." He said to Luna and mom then gave Luna a hug.
"Again, I'm sorry. I'm just so happy for you two." She said letting her go.
"Thanks Lucina." Luna said.
"Alright, you should get to class. Lucien as well." Mom said to me.
"Who are you, my mom?" I teased causing dad to burst out laughing as mom rolled her eyes and looked at me.
"Watch that attitude young man or else I might reconsider about your grounding." She said to me. Okay, I'll shut up now. With that, mom and dad left for their class.
"Let's go." I said taking Luna's hand for English class. Once again, people are staring at us as we walked our way to the classroom. Even Mr. Reed notices when he smiled seeing me and Luna coming in together. Did he suspect something about us?
"Don't these people anything better to do than talk about us?" I mumbled as we took our seats together.
"I agree." Luna said as the bell rang signaling the start of class. I turned and smiled to Luna causing her to blush. Mr. Reed started another session with a new lesson. We spent most of the class time writing down notes. Luna was, I wasn't, not that I slack off; I just already know this stuff. I just mostly held Luna's hand under our desks. The rest of the day on the last class was people talking about me and Luna. I don't think this will ever die down. School ended and I offered to drive Luna home which she accepted.
"I never got to tell you how beautiful you look today." I said as I walked Luna over to her front door.
"Th-Thanks." Luna said but I was able to pick up something.
"You don't think you're beautiful, do you?" I asked.
"It's like I said; I'm just plain." Luna said as we arrived at her door.
"Well it's like I said; you're far from plain." I said as I caressed her cheek. God, she feels so soft. Come on Lucien, you can do this.
"So Luna, I was wondering if you want to, if maybe, this weekend, I don't know, do you wanna… go out?"
Luna just stared at me. That can't be good.
"Are you asking me out like… on a date?" Luna asked nervously.
"If you wanna call it that." I said.
"Then yes, I'll go out with you." Luna said with a smile causing me to do the same. She said yes. Alright! Hold your horses Lucien! Don't celebrate until she's gone. "So what do you wanna do?" I grinned at her question. Oh my idea for our first date will be fun. I can promise her that.
"I actually already have an idea for a date set on Friday after school. What do you say?" I asked.
"I'd love too." Luna said.
"Cool. I can't wait. Well, I'll see you tomorrow at school. I'll pick you up in the morning." I said.
"Bye Lucien." Luna said and I gave her hand a squeeze before I left and got into my car and drove off. Friday could not come any sooner.
I looked at myself in the mirror of room seeing myself in just skinny grey jeans and a black t-shirt. I bend my head and patted my hair down and then looked back at my reflection. Just two seconds later, the side of my hair at the end sprung back up.
"Great," I said sarcastically. "This is just perfect; my hair looks stupid, my shirt is all wrinkled and I should've taken mom and Nessie's advice on those cosmetics products for men." I added when examining my face.
"Yeah you should've." Evan said causing me to scream as I jumped and turned to see him and Sarah there by the door.
"When did you guys get here?" I asked.
"Just long enough to see you freaking out on your date with Luna." Sarah smirked. Seriously?! How did I not notice them being here? Was I really caught up on what to wear for today's date with Luna or was the twin's scent was not so revolting today or sweet?
"Incidentally, you might wanna fix that hole I punched on your front door before your mom gets home from her meeting at work." Evan said as he and Sarah came inside.
"Again?! Dude, that's the fifth door you broke this month!" I said as Sarah sat down on my desk chair as Evan just grinned looking pleased. "You couldn't knock?"
"I was gonna," Evan said and then shrugged. "But then I was like 'eh, screw that.'"
"Has anyone ever told you that you're a strange and dangerous person?" I asked Evan.
"Constantly." Evan said as he flopped himself on my bed lying down.
"And can you not put your dirty shoes on my bed?" I asked. Evan looked around and grabbed my other pillow placing it under his feet giving me the 'ta-da, problem solved' look as I rolled my eyes.
"Okay enough about that, let me give you a hand for your date with Luna." Sarah said as she went through my closet full of new clothes that Alice bought me yesterday. Is there ever a limit to that pixie?
"Are you sure this is okay for me to wear?" I asked coming out to see myself wearing jeans, a white v-neck under my grey casual thin jacket Sarah picked out for me.
"Well you're not taking her out to a fancy dinner." Sarah said trying to adjust my hair while Evan is bouncing a ball off the wall. "Beside, Alice told me what she saw Luna was wearing and in her words, you two will be like the cutest couple ever when people see you. But I would say the same." She smiled when she was done.
"I'm just hoping this to be a good date." I said.
"Dude, you got nothing to worry about." Evan said sitting up and finally getting his feet off my bed. "You know where you're taking her and you two are just hanging out spending time together before you make it official. It's a walk in the park."
"You make it sound so easy since you've been out with dozens of girls." I said rolling my eyes.
"Come on, look at this face," Evan said pointing to himself. "What girl could resist all of this?"
"I believe Melissa's the kind." Sarah said causing me to laugh remembering how Evan tried to make a move on Melissa, his 'number one' he's trying to imprint on, but failed due to some 'help' from Asher. What did you expect from the commissioner of the police department?
"Ah she's playing hard to get." Evan said.
"Didn't look like it when she kicked ya right at home base." I said causing me and Sarah to laugh louder while Evan looked annoyed.
"I would tackle you, Lou, but since you got a big date with the future Mrs. Summers, I'll let it slide." He said as he got up. When he did, I caught a small smirk on his face.
"Wait," I said when Evan was about to walk out and had his hand on the door knob as I just had a realization. "You're gonna make fun of me when I get home, aren't you."
Evan turned to me and smirked bigger. "What do you think?" He thought to me.
"No please," I begged but too late; Evan pulled the door hard closing it when he walked out.
"Knob's broken!" He called when he left a hole where the door knob used to be. Unbelievable. I thought shaking my head. Sarah had the same reaction I had as she shook her head as well.
"I should get going." She said. "It's my turn to patrol. But I'll be back in time to hear about your date as will everyone else. Don't leave out any detail! Have fun!" Sarah smiled and left my room leaving me alone.
"Great, I have that to look forward to after my date." I said. By then it was ten minutes to five and it was time for me to get over to Luna's house. The weather is not too sunny which is perfect for this date with Luna. I just hope she likes it.
I arrived at the Snow house right on the dot. I got out of the car and walked over to the front door taking a deep breath before I gave a knock. The person who answered the door was not someone I expected to see.
"Hey Lucien," He smiled.
"Oh, hey Calvin," I said and looked around to see if I was at the wrong house. No, the address is correct.
"If you're wondering what I'm doing here, Maureen invited me and Damien over for dinner." Calvin said chuckling.
"Oh right," I said. "Um, you see I have a date with Luna tonight and –"
"Yeah I heard about that. She's upstairs in her room getting ready with her mother, Korrina and Damien's help." Calvin said as I gave him a confused look. As if he read my mind, Calvin said, "Damien's good with hairstyles." That would explain his hair. "Why don't you come on in for a bit?" He said letting me inside.
"Lucien's here!" Calvin called.
"Give her a minute!" Maureen called. That's when Damien came downstairs with Korrina riding his shoulders.
"Maureen didn't have to be so pushy." Damien said as he put Korrina down allowing her to run towards me for a hug. "Literally, she pushed us out of Luna's room. What could she be doing now that requires us out?" He said. Oh Damien, if you had enhance hearing like I do, you would know that right now, Maureen is comforting Luna to not be so nervous. Well Luna may have no right to be nervous but I do.
Luna's POV
Oh my gosh, I can't believe its happening! I can't believe today I'm going out with Lucien Summers. I can't help but feel completely nervous about this.
"Uh Luna, are you okay?" Damien asked and I turned to see him and Korrina at the door of my room.
"Yeah, why would you ask that kind of question?" I asked.
"Because it looked like a hurricane came in making a laundry pool." Damien said and I looked around to see my entire room being covered with my clothes everywhere you see. "And last time I'd checked, not that I'm a creepy stalker on women, panties are not a head gear as well being put on before the pants." He said pointing out my black underwear on my head and pink one worn outside of my grey sweats while Korrina giggled.
"Okay maybe I'm not okay." I said. "I have no idea what to wear for my date and everything!"
"Did Lucien ever tell you where he's taking you?" Damien asked as he and Korrina helps me pick up my clothes.
"No, he just told me to dress casual." I said. "So that means this date isn't gonna be so fancy and everything but I still have no freaking clue what exactly I should wear!"
"I know what you should wear!" Korrina said dropping my clothes she was picking up and went into my closet. While Damien and I cleaned up half my room (with Korrina making a mess to find me the right outfit), Korrina came back and handed me a pair of white jeans and a dark blue seamless long sleeve crew neck top.
"And wear these!" Korrina said after I returned to my room in the clothes Korrina picked out for me as she handed me a shoebox.
"Oh Korrina, I don't know if I should wear them." I said when I opened it to see a pair of brown long leather boots in them. It's not that I don't like them, I'm just not sure if it's me.
"But you never wore them since you got them last Christmas." Korrina said. "Come on, they'll look great on you."
"Okay." I said as I sat down and put on the boots. "Well, how do I look?"
"Wow." Damien said as he looked at me in amazement. "Lucien is one lucky dude."
"Wait," Korrina said and went through my drawers to pull out a white and orange casual scarf. "Wear this too." I did as wrapped the fabric around my neck. "You look so pretty!"
I looked at myself in the mirror. Wow.
"Korrina, I'm amazed." I said turning to her. "You're a such a little genius." I said causing my sister to smile big as she went over to hug me.
"You look amazing, except for one thing." Damien said. "We need to work on your hair." I looked to see sure enough my hair is all messed up. "Here, I'll help you with that. I know a thing or two about hairstyles. How else did you think I try to make my hair look good to get Sarah's attention?" A few minutes later, my hair has been made into soft curls at the end as one side of my hair was tucked behind my ear.
"Wow Damien, this looks amazing!" I said.
"No need to thank me." He smiled.
"Everything okay in here?" Mom asked knocking on my door and we turned to see her and Calvin standing there.
"Wow Luna, I didn't recognize you for a second there." Calvin said in amazement.
"Sweetie, you look so beautiful." Mom said coming over to me.
"Thanks mom." I said when she hugged me.
"Geez, what did you guys do here?" Calvin asked looking at my room that that still has clothes everywhere.
"Someone got a little nervous for her date." Damien said as Korrina giggled. That's when the doorbell rang. Eep! He's here!
"I'll get that." Calvin said and left room. Sure enough, it was Lucien who is at the door. He sounds surprise to see Calvin here.
"Luna, relax. You got nothing to worry about." Damien said. "What's the worst that could happen?" A lot of things Damien. A lot of things.
"Lucien's here!" Calvin called.
"Give her a minute!" Mom called. "You two, out, right now!" She said to Damien and Korrina pushing them out of my room.
"Alright, alright, we're going. Geez!" Damien said.
"Have fun!" Korrina said to me before she and Damien were pushed out of my room.
"Okay," Mom said turning to me. "Luna, don't worry about what's gonna happen. Just have fun and be you."
"I will." I said. Mom took another look at me and I saw her let out a tear.
"I just wish your father was here to see this; you've changed so much since you met Lucien." She said. I wish he were as well. I'm sure dad would want to see how happy I am even though I'm still nervous.
"Alright, let's go. We don't wanna keep Lucien waiting. Don't worry, I'll clean up your room." Mom said taking my hand as we left my room and walked downstairs to see Calvin, Damien and Korrina with Lucien. I nearly fainted seeing what he's wearing; he looks so handsome. The minute I showed myself, Lucien had a dumbfounded expression as he just stood there staring at me causing Damien to snap his fingers at Lucien's face to snap out of it.
"You look absolutely beautiful." He said.
Lucien's POV
There are just no words to describe her. I have no idea how did it happen. How did Luna became like this, not that I don't like it and I didn't like how she looked before, she's just so stunning, possibly a whole new person only from the look. I was so drawn to Luna's new look that I must have been gawking at her like an idiot when Damien snapped his fingers in front of me. Smooth move. I thought after coming back to my senses.
"You look absolutely beautiful." I said.
"Thank you." Luna said blushing.
"I picked out the clothes!" Korrina said smiling proudly. Well then I thank you for doing that Korrina.
"Really, you really did a good job." I smiled to Korrina.
"Well, I think you two have somewhere to be." Calvin said.
"Yes we do." I said offering Luna's hand which she took as she walked over to me.
"Have fun you two." Damien said smiling.
"Bye guys!" Korrina said waving to us.
"Don't be out too late." Maureen said.
"Don't worry Maureen, I'll have Luna home before you get to bed." I said and with that, Luna and I left the house and got into my car.
"So are you gonna tell me where we're going?" Luna asked as I was driving.
"Trust me, you'll love where I'm taking you. We'll have a fun time together." I said smiling to her causing Luna to blush as I held her hand.
About twenty minutes later, enduring that slow speed, we arrived at our destination.
"Wow!" Luna said after we got out of the car and came to a huge amusement park with all the rides, games and entertainment.
"Welcome to New Moon." I said. "The place where all the fun is happening like you're in a new world that you never believe to be normal."
"This is amazing." Luna said.
"Thank Lucina's brother Jalen." I said. "He's the one behind it all."
"Her brother made all of this?!" Luna asked in shock.
"He works at his family's company and it was all his idea to make this amusement park. He made an exception for kids with no family that they can get in for free." I explained.
"Wow, that's generous of him." Luna said.
"And also it gives me an advantage since it gives family privileges." I smirked causing Luna to giggle.
"Then I guess I'm lucky." She said.
"I'm the one that's lucky; I'm here with you." I said causing her to blush.
"I'm happy to be here with you." Luna said.
"So am I." I said.
(A/N: Play Boyfriend by Big Time Rush.)
"Come on." I said as I took her hand and we both took off running to the first place we see.
The first ride we went on was the troika. Luna and I got a seat together and got ready for the big spin when they started the machine. Luna and I couldn't help screaming (even though it felt slow to me) when it went up to high gear. The next few rides were just as fun as the first one, one after another. Luna and I had a little competition on the bumper cars where I mostly won on those bumps. I might have 'accidently' went a little hard bumping into some boys trying to get Luna's attention. The Hurricane ride was out of control but Gravitron was crazy like you're in the washing machine. Add the roller coaster, the pendulum ride and the sky shooter and you can call it a blast.
After all the riding all the rides, getting something for Luna to eat and getting our pictures taken at a photo booth, we went to try out some games such as ski balling, hit the targets, and one of those squirt gun races. On one of those games, I had to knock down the bottles to receive a prize. One shot was all I needed out of three to knock down all the bottles and win Luna a purple teddy bear. From the look on her face, she loves it which makes me very happy.
(A/N: End song)
Night has fallen and Luna and I are sitting on the Ferris wheel where it stopped. We're lucky, or maybe I pulled some strings to where only me and Luna were on this ride, that we're sitting at the top and it's a good thing too apart from the view because we are now watching the fireworks.
"They're beautiful." Luna said as she sitting close to me with her head resting on my shoulder as I have my arm wrapped around her.
"Yeah, they do this every weekend. Jalen always wanted to make this special for everyone." I said as we watched the fireworks dance.
"Jalen sounds like a great guy to do something special for people." Luna said.
"He's the guy with a big heart even though he brags a lot." I chuckled.
"You're lucky to have him as well as the Cullens as your family." Luna said.
"No, I'm not lucky; I'm happy to have them. I don't know what I'd do without them." I said as I looked back on my life with family, how everything was great before what happened. I pushed that aside since I finally gotten passed that.
"This has been the most fun I've ever had in all my life." Luna said.
"Me too," I said. "Mostly because I got to spend it with you." Luna looked up to me with a smile with a hint of blush.
I could never get enough of that. I can't believe I'm here with Luna. I don't think it matters where we go or what we do as long as I'm with her; right by her side close to her. The feeling I get when I touch her, listening to that heart beat, staring at her beauty, how is it possible that she's with me?
Luna and I kept staring at each other's eyes. Did I forget to tell you guys I love her eyes as well due to her color and shape? We kept staring at each other until somehow I was leaning in closer to Luna's face. That's when Luna responded by closing her eyes and slowly followed my lead. Slowly, slowly, and slowly are lips were inches apart until,
"Wait Luna."
Sorry guys, don't kill me but please review.
