The fairytale is true

Chapter 20 { Confessing }

Luna P.O.V

" Jack, what is wrong ?" I asked, he came up and sat down on my bed

" I wanted to talk to my sister, is there a problem ?" I shook my head as I put the book down, giving him all my attention.

" so talk, " I said

" I am just wondering about your fiancé... is he treating you well? I know the reason behind my dad's decision, but if you don't like it tell me, I can just destroy everything and save you from this" I look at him for a long minute surprised and amused. it was true that we both don't get along well, but I know I can talk with him about anything and he will help me through it

I threw my arms around him make him lay down on the bed with me

" aren't you just so, so, so, so sweet? I never knew you cared so much about me, you deserve a kiss " I said as I kissed his cheek, I know he hates that

" WHAT A HELL! GET OFF ME " he shouted at me cleaning his cheek nonstop, I laughed at his reaction, I got off him and sat down as he did the same

" no need to worry Jack. I disliked this at first too, but then it didn't turn out to be as bad I thought it would be. I knew dad meant the best for me and the fact that Asher is the one I call fiancé is making things even better. he is really kind and he just cares too much about me " I said as I turned my mood into a serious one

" so you are good with this? He is good with you, right? I knew he is a good man and very powerful too but.. I was afraid if you felt your self forced into it " he explained again, keep saying younger siblings are bad

I shook my head with a smile

"I am happy, don't worry, " I Said, he was quiet for a long minute before he stood up and I thought he gonna leave, but quickly in the blink of an eye, he took my book as he ran outside my room.

I should have known he gonna become evil at the end again. I didn't run after him though I decided that is better if I try to sleep now, so I got under the blanket and closed my eyes.

****

It's been 2 hours. it is midnight already and I can't sleep! no matter how hard I try, I am about to cry I swear.

I was known to be able to sleep anytime I wanted! and now I just can't sleep! I waited 5 more minutes and I couldn't take it anymore. I decided to get out of my room and take a small walk outside, fresh air might help.

With a sigh, I walked out of my room and made my way to the garden. it is so quiet here, everyone is asleep. lucky them, I wonder if Asher is also asleep, he might be though. who knows?

I walked and walked in the garden and dang I didn't know outside is so cold, I came out only in my pajamas. I looked up at the beautiful moon in the sky. I always felt lucky to be called Luna, it's a name with such a cool meaning "moon"

I felt something warm was put on my shoulders, looking over I saw Asher, he was putting his jacket properly over my shoulder.

" Why are you outside at this time of night? you might catch a cold," he said before he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, make the chill air disappear all at once.

" I wanted to get fresh air " I answered

" can't sleep ?" He asked and I slowly nodded

" it's fine, come, you can sleep with me. It's late already and I don't want you to catch a cold " he backed away taking my hand in his. I wanted to say no but in the meantime, I didn't want to. I felt like it was something that can make me sleep.

We got into his room a.k.a guest room. he lay down and got under the cover, he put up the other side of the cover mentioning it for me to lay down there and I did, slowly I lay down beside him. I couldn't look him in the eyes, so my eyes were looking anywhere but his face.

" so how was your day ?" He asked me

" i-it was ok, just a normal school day, how about you ?" I asked

" It was fine, but it got so much better when you showed up. I was so happy seeing you coming to my company to visit me," he said as he moved the hair from my face I slowly look up to look at his face and my heart skipped a beat, he just looks so handsome

" u-umm Asher, can I ask you something..?" I asked, unsure if it is a good time to ask that or not, but I wanted to give it a shot

" go ahead," he said as he starts somehow playing with my hair, softly touching it and moving it from my face and put it behind my ear, but my hair is too wavy so it kept falling back on my face and he kept moving it for me.

" I-I have school excursion next week" I whispered. I don't know why I am nervous in the first place and why do I feel his approval is so important, but I just feel that way.

" and ?" He asked curiously. I mean who wouldn't be curious? why would I tell him?

" I-it will take 5 days and it is in a forest.," I said and he stopped playing with my hair

" You can't go," he said straight in my face.

" But why ?"

" Remember last time you went out in the forest? you came back all over in pain and bruises, I can't afford to have you hurt again " he explained softly

" but it's my last year of school and last time I can spend my time freely with my friends " I tried to convince him

" I understand your feelings, Luna, I would do anything to make you happy and you know that too, but please understand me too... it's just way too dangerous out there," he said as he hugged me before continuing

" you might not know this yet, but I love you so much. I can't afford to have you hurt in any way," I felt my world stopped

H-he just said he loves me... did I heard that correctly?

" w-what ?" I asked unsurely, he released me a bit so I can look at him

" I love you more than anything and anyone in this world," he said and once more I felt everything stopped, I only stared at him, I felt emotional but not because i am sad but because I am happy. My next move made him and even myself shocked,  I cupped his face in my hands as I pressed my lips on his and kissed him

I just freaking kissed him! for the first time I had the courage to make the first move. He seemed shocked just like me, but after a few seconds he replied to my kiss and I just poured in how happy I am by the kiss without me knowing it.

I backed away looking at his eyes he pecked my lips one more time, before hugging me tightly

" I feel so blessed to have you " that was the last thing he said before I slowly felt myself falling asleep.
