"Where the hell have you been?" I asked Luna making her flinch at my voice.

Shit I didn't mean to snap at her.

"I'm sorry, I just..." Lucas, way to mess it up.

"I'm sorry, when I came home... I-I I got scared when you were not here, I thought you left."

There I said it, when I came home after taking care of my works, Luna was nowhere to be found. Everything was just the way it was before I left, except the bed – it was neatly arranged.

For a second, I thought she left me because she was angry at my actions last night. She could've at least left a note. I've been searching for her for the past two hours throughout this area but she was nowhere to be found.

She was wearing a pink frock with cherries on it, this color suits her making her more adorable. That's when I noticed the cupcake box in her hand, did she left to buy this?

"Luna, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you. I just got scared when I came home and you are not here," I ran my hands through my hair.

Hell, why am I messing this up again and again.

"It's fine, I should have left a note like you did. But I couldn't find the sticky note and I thought I'll be back before you come," she gave me a genuine smile.

Before I could ask her where she's been, her stomach growled loudly. "Come let's have lunch and talk about your day," I grinned setting up the table.

Yes, I cooked some vegetarian dishes to improve my mate. I have no clue how it came out.

"You cooked," she asked. I nodded my head putting the sandwich I made for us. Well, that's the only thing I know to do.

"Yes, I made some basic vegetarian sandwich. Hope you don't mind."

Her face lightened up like the sunlight with a huge smile on her face. "Are you kidding me, this is amazing," she said taking the sandwich on her hands.

I wonder how it is, I've never cooked in my whole life other than the time where my sister forced me to learn cooking and now, I'm grateful I learned a few.

"Hmmm, hundred points. You aced it," she moaned devouring the basic sandwich making me smile.

Now I get it when they say love and happiness is contagious. Looking at my happy mate makes me so damn happy; I've never felt so happy for getting a simple compliment. I have gotten a hell lot of compliments but this feels real and good.

"So, tell me about your day," I started taking a bite of my sandwich.

Hmm, not as bad as I thought. I'm showing a lot of improvements in making conversations like Carter said.

"I got a job," she giggled.

Wait what?

"Yes, in a cupcake shop. Even I didn't expect that to happen," she nodded her head.

I know I said the previous sentence out loud. Then she started explaining me how she got the job when she went to buy cupcakes. How the owner was so friendly and taught her with the billing without any complaint.

Owner, bullshit, I could've taught her too if I was in his place.

During the whole time I just looked at her face lighten up every time she narrated a happy part and how her nose scrunched in every time, she spoke about something unpleasant.

For getting a part time job, sure my mate is dramatic, not that I complain. The way how she enjoys the normal things like they are some out of the world experience, I enjoy each and every minute of it.

"So where are we going today?"

I wonder what things she has in her bucket list, if I'm being honest, I'm more eager to spend time with my mate doing her normal things bucket list than her.

"Not where are we, it's what are we going to do today," she giggled.

What are we? Are we going to do something in this house? Then I'm all up for it.

Her eyes widened as she looked at me with curiosity, "What are we going to do," I played along with her.

She shook her head with a huge grin, "Nope, you have to guess."

Leaning behind my seat I acted like I was thinking deep when in reality I have no clue what we are going to do.

"Stop acting like you are thinking," shit I know, I'm not embarrassed, not at all.

"Fine, I have no idea."

Acceptance is the key for everything, yeah definitely, I'm great enough to accept the truth if that counts.

"Hey, you are no fun. I'll give you a clue," her nose scrunched down, her chin resting on her hand, she thought deep for a clue.

"It's related to sea, air and thread."

I'm sorry Luna, I still have no freaking clue. It's a shame that the great vampire king couldn't predict a simple bucket list.

Raising my hand in surrender I shook my head, "Sorry Luna, I have no idea."

She stood up from her chair, "We are leaving to get somethings and I'm giving you time till that to guess," my mate glared at me and continued eating.

I couldn't help but chuckle at her cute behavior, hell why is my mate so cute?

"I also have a surprise," my mate giggled again.

"And what is that," I raised my eyebrows in a playful way.

She rolled her eyes down to the cupcakes, "I got us cupcakes."

My mate got me something, that's definitely a better improvement and if this is how I progress with my mate then I am damn sure I can take her back with me to the palace.

"They, said we can take four cupcakes every day to our home," she opened the boxes gushing out in happiness. "The owner seemed so friendly, how cool is that we get to take four cupcakes back home."

"I could get us cupcakes home daily too," I snorted. Owner bullshit, she's working for him and it is right that they should treat their employee.

"Stop complaining, here I got rose and mango flavored cupcakes."

Rose, she remembered? But I don't think I ever told her that I'm obsessed with roses.

"How do you know roses are my favorite?" she chuckled handing me the cupcake.

"Isn't it pretty obvious by the way you filled your garden with roses?"

"Oh," I rubbed my cake, I mean my neck. "Thank you," I took a bite of the cupcake. It's not as bad as I thought, tastes good though.

"Mmmm... tastes amazing right?" Luna moaned; I just nodded my head.

"Where do you work by the way," it's better to know where she works so that I can do a background check at these shop people. Even though she'll be safe, I don't want to take any risks in my mate's safety.

"It's Vanilla Manilla, I'll show you tomorrow," she giggled.

We kept the mango cupcakes for the night, the bed I ordered just came on time before we left. I've fixed the heater already this morning so that my mate can sleep wherever she wants. But I somehow convinced her that she should take my room now that I have a new bed for me.

She thinks that I'm making her sleep in the room because of the old bed but it's not, my room is better than living room, it's safer and more comfortable.

"So, where are we going now?"

She shook her head and asked me to follow her. Locking our home, we started walking. A few minutes later she stopped and turned giving me a sheepish look.

What happened now, did she forget anything?

"Umm... where's the stationary shop near this area?"

Did I hear that clear? She really said a stationary shop?

"Stationary shop?" I asked her, she nodded her head blushing like a rose. Cute.

Hell, what is that my mate planning to do?
