Lahat ng Kabanata ng Chasing His Rejected Luna: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

JADAMy Atlas radar was going off. Or according to Jaiya, my ‘Atdar’. Good thing though because it has been a false alarm all evening.“Are you waiting for someone?” She asked, being the more perceptive one of the group. Or maybe, just the one that wasn’t drunk yet.I hadn’t even realised I was looking at the door for most of the time until she pointed it out..I was just feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. And I kept asking myself ‘what if he walked in through that door?’. For someone who said I wasn’t going to be thinking about him. I’ve been doing a shit job at keeping my word.“No.” I cleared my throat, reminding myself she was still waiting for my reply.“Then why are you looking at the door? Your eyes have been there since we arrived.”I cleared my throat, not having an answer that wouldn’t sound extremely pathetic. In the end, I gave up and told her I wasn’t really used to this.“I get all of that. What I don’t understand is why you’re so worried? No one is going to call you

JADE I ran out of the club, not stopping to reply to Jaiya that was calling out for me and running after me. I flagged down a cap as soon as I got out. And I was just about to get in when she gripped my hand and forced me to stop. Tears were rolling down my face without me even realizing. “What happened? Who hurt you?” She asked, the words coming out of her in a rush. I shook my head, not sure what I was trying to convey. She didn’t understand me any more than I understood myself and she kept looking at me with a lost expression. I looked over her shoulder. Somehow feeling him close and sure enough, Atlas just came out the door. 

JADEJaiya pretty much forced me to spend the night at her place. Though to be honest, I was happy to stay there. Just seeing more of her space confirmed my initial judgment of it. It really is every girl’s dream home.Not only do you have your space to make into whatever you want. It was so big and so private. It felt like she was existing in her own little world. Big world.“How do you come into work everyday?” I asked late that night as we lounged on the couch and ate the popcorn she insisted on making.“What do you mean?” She swallowed before replying.“If I lived in an apartment like this. I don’t think I’ll be motivated to step outside ever again.”She chuckled, shaking her head. And I noticed her cheeks darkened a little bit at my comment. She really was modest.All that chaotic energy she had at work was at rest here. It wasn’t like she was a different person. Not at all. She is the same person that had walked into my office and pretty much adopted me as one of her friends. Th

JADEI thought I was ready to face him after the breakfast I had with Jaiya. The way she had been pushing me and cheering me on had me feeling like I could take on the world.But the sight of Atlas, even frozen as he was at the sight of me. It was enough to make my palms sweaty.God, why did the man need to have this much control over me?We stayed that way, staring at each other, in shock and trepidation, for what felt like hours. In reality, it was only a few minutes. Maybe three or even two. But a century was what it felt more like.We both snapped out of whatever trance held us that way and Atlas advanced into the office. He closed and locked the door first, then he pulled the blinds.My stomach knotted at the click telling me I was trapped in here with him.I wasn’t scared of what he would do to me. I’m more scared of how I was going to respond to him after everything. The sight of his lips was already making me think of how good they had felt against mine.The urge to bite mine

JADE“You don’t have to look like you’ve seen a ghost.” He chuckled, being his usual self.Andrew was the calmest and nicest person I have ever met. Especially in the pack and not just because he was my friend.I have been a horrible friend to him for the past few days but he didn’t look offended. If anything, he looked worried about me.“Tell me now, how have you been?”The elevator doors opened and he moved for me to go in. He followed me and pressed the ground floor button. He turned to me, as though asking if that was okay and I nodded.“Andrew,” I sighed. “I’m so sorry. I’ve been a horrible friend and I—““Don’t apologize, yet.” He added with a small smirk. “I need to milk this out of you later. For now, just tell me. Are you okay, Jade?”He turned to me, fixing his unwavering gaze on me. I couldn’t even lie to him because he knows me so well. So I shook my head slowly.“Wanna talk about it?” I considered it for a bit.“What’s the time now?” I was already late for work but I had
