Luna

Chapter Six

"Can we talk now?" Mattek asked as I turned around

"Follow me we can talk in my apartment while I bake the cupcakes and cake," I said and led him to my apartment

"Nice and cosy," Matteo said as we entered

"It is," I said before asking, "What fo you want to talk about?"

"You and why you ran," He said and sat down looking at me as I grabbed everything I needed for the cake

"I didn't run I left because it was my eighteenth birthday and I was going to get kicked out. I didn't want to stay in the city because it didn't feel like my home," I said

"Bullshit you ran because you're afraid," he said

"Afraid of what?" I asked amused

"Of me and my brothers finding you and silencing you got good," He said making me stop in my tracks remembering what they did

"I remembered you and Diego telling me to hide before the cops found me. When they took me outside I saw many bodies.

While seeing them I feared that one of you three was among them but I looked around before getting in the cop car and could see you.

I lied for you to the cops and when I saw you were okay I left. I didn't want any more shit on my plate. Being kicked out was enough worry for me," I said placing the last of the stuff I needed for the cake on the table

Matteo grabbed my wrist and turned me around to face him

"Why didn't you just stay at our house? My father offered you to stay with us," He said

"Weren't you in a fight with him because of that?" I asked

He smirked and said, "You're right but I was in a bad mood that day. I didn't expect my dad and brothers to bring home a hot girl,"

"Broken is more like it," I said turning away

"You changed from the day I met you you know. You don't hide your face anymore in those hoodies of yours. You're not broken," He said

"Yes I am," I said and started baking the cake so that I could finish it

"Luna go out with me?" Matteo asked

"What are you talking about?" I asked looking at him like he was crazy

"Go on a date with me?" He asked

"No," I said shaking my head

"I want to take you out on a date," He said

"I said no,"

"Why give me one good reason," He asked

"Because I don't want to date a criminal," I said

"I could give you the world you know. All the money you need," He said making me look at him and slap him

"I am not a gold-digging whore. I don't want your money Matteo," I said

"Tomorrow at 2 I'm picking you up and we are going out before my cousin's quinceanera," He said

"Hell no," I said

"Hell yes. I'll see you tomorrow," He said and left.

I groaned and continue baking. As I placed the last batch of cupcakes in I started decoring the cake and the cupcakes that had cooled off while I placed the rest in the fridge so they can cool off

As I was decorating the cake Luke came in with Bash

"It's almost midnight," Bash said sitting down on the bar stool
