Chapter 0006

{Luna's pov}

I walked towards the Cafeteria when I heard a voice, "Hey! Luna," I turned around just to witness my classmate Joseph. a smile laced my face as I replied, "Hey Joseph."

"how have you been?" He questioned, as we took our plates from the platform and walked in a line to get lunch, "Good, how about you?" I questioned back and he served the lunch for me and himself.

"I am doing great buddy," He said and we walked towards an empty table. We chatted for a bit as we continued to have our lunch.

"by the way Luna, Are you free this weekend?" his question made me look at his face which was laced with a small smile, I nodded in response because I had nothing to do on this weekend.

"alright, then I am inviting you to my birthday party, I hope you don't mind it?" He frowned and I just stared at him, I was never invited to such birthday parties before.

"what happened Luna?" his question pulled me out of my thoughts and I shook my head as In no.

"I will try," I spoke and a smile made its way towards his mouth, his eyes were shining. -Why was he so happy tho? maybe some people have a better life.

........

once I was done with my part time job I walked bach towards my home, as I entered inside I witnessed my father sitting on his wheelchair ready to welcome me, he held a homemade cake in his hand making me frown. "Cake?" I asked, my face laced with confusion and curiosity.

"it's your birthday My child." My father said, his face glistening with cheerful smile adoring his mouth, My birthday? oh I almost forgot about it. shrugging my thoughts off I walked towards him with a smile and Hugged him.

"thankyou for this wonderful cake dad, you made it?" I asked while admiring the cake he was holding. and he nodded in response, "yes I did," he spoke and pecked my forehead.

"I love you dad," I reminded him and his eyes teared up, he is such a softie. "I love you more my daughter." he said while caressing my hairs as I knelt down in front of him.

"now make a wish and blow the candle," he informed and I nodded before joining my hands and closing my. -I wish my father gets well soon.

with that I opened my eyes and blew the candles, after cutting the cake I forwarded a piece towards my dad and he took a bite before doing the same to me.

I walked inside my room to freshen up just to witness A bouquet of flowers, A frown came On my face as I stared at the bouquet, It was huge and had a lot of expensive flowers.

I immediately walked out of the room,"Dad, who brought the flowers?" I asked gaining his attention who was watching some movies on the television.

"A delivery guy, said it's from a friend of yours." He informed and my frown grew further. who will send me such expensive flowers?

I was sitting in my living room going through some deals when my phone rang gaining my attention, I saw the caller id which showed my secretary's name. I immediately picked the call and hummed so he can provide the information He has called for.

"Sir, just wanted to remind you it's Miss. Luna's birthday." he spoke and a smile came on my lips, it's blossom's birthday today."Send her the most expensive bouquet of flowers, and don't reveal who sent it." I informed and hunged up the call.

I opened my laptop looking at her room, the bouquet was placed on the bed but there was no one there. it was clear she wasn't home yet.

soon the door opened revealing my obsession, looking breathtaking as usual she looked at the bouquet with a frown and stormed out of the room.

I continued to watch Luna as she came back in and sat down next to the bouquet of flowers, her expression still confused and slightly irritated. I couldn't help but smile at her naiveness.

She didn't know who the flowers were from, and it amused me to see her so baffled by the mystery of it all. Little did she know that the flowers were sent with a specific purpose in mind.

"Who will send me these?" I chuckled softly as I heard her speak, her voice laced with annoyance and confusion. She was trying to figure out who had sent her the flowers, but she was completely in the dark.

I leaned back in my chair, enjoying the view of her from my camera. She was so clueless, so innocent.

she got up from the bed and placed the bouquet on the side table, "it's my birthday, I should enjoy at least." She was talking to her self. before opening her hair and putting on some music.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of desire as I watched her move around freely, her hair flowing freely, the music in the background only adding to the moment.

she was looking ethereal. I can't wait longer to make her mine.

I watched as she started dancing, her body moving to the music in a graceful and fluid motion. It was a sight to behold, seeing her dance so effortlessly, completely carefree and happy.

I found myself unable to tear my eyes away from the screen, completely captivated by her every move.

I watched as she collapsed onto the bed, her breathing heavy and her cheeks flushed from the exertion. For a moment, she lay there, staring at the ceiling, as if lost in thought.

The image of her lying on her bed, exhausted and beautiful, only further fueled my desire for her. I found myself growing more and more obsessed with her every second.

{Luna's pov}

I looked at the ceiling while catching my breath, I miss you mom, I wish we were celebrating this together like we used to do when I was a kid.

I sighed and just stared at the ceiling for a couple of minutes, soon my eyes became heavy and I closed my eyes Falling into deep slumber.

...........

-Weekend-

I was getting ready In my room, it was Joseph's birthday. he told me that he will pick me up in an hour so I was just getting ready. As I came out of the washing while wearing a black sleek fit ankle length Satin middy and stood in front of the mirror. opening my hairs so that they can cover the back which was too exposed and then started doing my makeup.

as I heard a honk on the door I looked out of the window just to witness Joseph in his car, Applying my lipstick I ran out of the room and out of the house.

"hey!" he said looking at me with a warm smile and I replied back with the same. "You look gorgeous Luna," He said and opened the door for me.

"Thank you," I spoke and Sat inside as he drove towards the venue, the drive was silent with a soft music playing in the background.

"Luna," I shifted my gaze from the window to him by his sudden call. "Yeah?"

"Are you currently seeing someone?" His question made my expression change into frown and I shook my head, "No,"

"I see, so what qualities do you like In a guy?" I know where it's going, "Well, I have never thought of it," I answered, because I seriously never thought of something like that.

"it's here," he said and I stepped out of the car, we walked inside together and all our class mates were there. "oh! see the birthday boy is here with his girl." His girl? I looked at him confused and He just Awkwardly smiled. does he really don't understand or is he pretending to?

"Actually we are-" before I could say anything he cut me off, "Let's go cut the cake, it's already late." he held my hands and dragged me towards the table where the cake was. So he knows why his friend called me his girl.

...........

I have been trying to discuss this with him from the starting but he is ignoring the topic, "Joseph," I spoke and he looked at me. "We need to talk," My face was laced with a fake smile.

"can I take your friend for a few minutes?" I asked to his friends and they immediately nodded, "He is all yours Luna." I smile at his comment and dragged Joseph with me.

"Joseph, what the hell is happening? why all of them are thinking that we are a couple?" I asked with a genuine frown lacing my face.

"I will explain everything Luna," I sighed in frustration before speaking further. "Explain it to them Joseph, tell them we are just friends." I retorted.

"I can't Luna," my frown grew further at his words, "What do you mean by you can't?" frustration and annoyance was laced on my face.

"I don't see you as my friend Luna, Everyone knows I have a crush on you since a long time. and I want to date you Luna." I stared at him with disbelief.

"but they think we are already dating Joseph?" I scoffed in disbelief, "Then let's make this true Luna, I love you." He said and held my hands, How do I reject him? it's his birthday but I don't feel anything for him.

"Look Joseph-" before I could complete He cut me off, "please Luna," he said and placed his one hand on my cheek while other on my waist pulling me closer.

"What are you doing Joseph?" A fear came in my eyes because no one was there and he was definitely very strong. "Please Luna." he repeated and started leaning closer.

I kept my hand on his chest trying to push him but that wasn't working at all, he leaned even closer while pulling me closer with his hands. his breath was hitting my face. A feeling of disgust building inside me and just the someone grabbed him and threw him on the ground. and immediately pointed a gun on him making me Gasp, and what made me more shocked was the person holding the Gun.- it can't be a coincidence again.
