Gloves off

Promise

Aluna POV.

"Asshole"
I said playfully pushing him away.

"I'm kidding, no one cooking can compare to you."
He said wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me back towards him.

"She better not be in my kitchen tomorrow,"
I said pointing my finger at him.

"Of course not."
He said gently bringing his hand up to my face moving a strand off my wet hair away from my eyes placing it behind my ear,
we were inches away from each other.

He slowly traced his finger from the back of my ear down down to my neck not breaking eye contact with me.

"Promise you won't leave again?"
he whispered leaning closer our lips brushing together barely touching.

"Aluna!"
Joe shouted breaking us out off the situation we were in.

We looked to the shore seeing Joe and Henry with flashlights in their hands looking around the shoreline.

"I'm here!"
I shouted walking out off the water followed by Ryan.

"What in earth are you two doing?"
Henry asked.

I was up in my room getting dressed to go out when I looked out my window seeing this dummy walking into the water fully clothed.
I thought he was going crazy or something,
I got into the cold ocean water ruining my dress hair and makeup because he wanted go for a random midnight swim.
I said looking at an amused Ryan.

"You were going out dress like that?"
"That dress is way to short miss lady."
Joe said totally ignoring my entire story.

"Welcome back home Aluna, I hope you enjoyed your little vacation."
Henry said.

"But I recommend you don't get unpacked because you are going with us to the press conference in New York tomorrow."
Joe said making me take a deep breath as we walked into the house.
Suddenly we were interrupted by the sound off the door bell.
"I'll get it."
Joe said walking towards the door opening it revealing Gia.

"Shit"
I said remembering I have plans with Gia.

"What the hell happened to you guys."
She said looking at Ryan and I.

"A very long story."
Ryan said looking at her smiling.

"Yeah very long?"
I said giving Ryan the side eye.

"We'll go get changed everyone is waiting on us."
She said.

"Um actually Gia."

"You can't come."
She said finishing my sentence with a disappointed look on her face.

"It's my fault she can't make it, we have a press conference in New York tomorrow."
Ryan said looking at Gia.

"Well in that case it's okay, work comes first."
Gia said looking at Ryan smiling.

"I'm really sorry Gia, I'll make it up to you when I get back I promise."
I said following her as she exited the house.

"What did you two tried to go skinny dipping and get caught?"
Gia whispered as I walked her to her car.

"No, it's really a long story, we will talk when I get back."
"And happy birthday by the way."
I said giving her a hug before turning to head back to the house.
When I saw Ryan walking Henry to his car.

"Good night Aluna see you tomorrow."
Henry said waving to me as he got into his car driving off.

"I'm sorry for causing you to miss your best friend birthday."
"And for ruining your dress which looks really good on you."
Ryan said making me look at him.
