Song: Starving by Hailee Steinfeld, Grey ft Zedd.

It turned out that Luna will be staying in Jacksonville Florida. She didn't tell me why, but I could sense that it was a hard topic for her. So I left it alone. I didn't want to put her under pressure. She'll be staying in Jax! I couldn't stop smiling when she told me. I was happy that out adventure didn't come to an end.

Luna fell asleep in my room and Armando was not happy about it in the morning. What is his problem? Later on we arrived back in Jacksonville Florida and went on our separate paths. She'll be attending Greenwood High School. Damn, am I lucky? Now I know that I'll be seeing her more often.

I'm falling for her,hard. It took a lot for me just to admit it to myself. It's not like me to be this reckless with my emotions. Something about her just makes me go for it. I know that this won't end well, but strangely I don't care and I'm willing to give it a try.

My phone pinged indicating an unseen message.

I lifted my phone up to see a text message from Luna.

Luna

Hey, I have nothing to do for the rest of the day so I was wondering if you'd want to hang out?

Her message put a smile on my face. Luna what are you doing to me?

Luna

What do you wanna do?

I thought that maybe you could show me around the city...

Send me your address and
I'll pick you up.

Okay great ☺.

She sent me her address and I got up from the couch and headed into the kitchen.

"Mom I'm on my way out."

"Where are you going? You just got here and it's still early." Mom said as she took a sip of her coffee.

"Let the boy go,Margaret." Dad said as he strode into the kitchen and stood next to my mother.

"Thanks Dad." I said and turned around to leave.

"Dominick. We don't even know where he is going." Mom said in a overly concerned toned.

"He'll be okay Margaret. Besides it's only a woman that can make a man get up at 7 in the morning."

...

I stopped my bike in front of a cream coloured double story house. It wasn't too big or too small,but it is big for just one person. She probably has a roommate or could she be living here with Armando? I shook the latter assumption out of my head and made my way up to the front porch.

Before I could knock on the door, it opened.

"Hey. Come on in." Luna said and opened the door wider for me to enter.

"Hey." I walked in and observed my surroundings. The interior is simple but nice. There isn't a lot of decorations and everything still looks new.

"Luna uh you..." I gestured to her half naked state. I'm not complaining, but since I met her I feel like I have a lack of self control. Standing there in a black bra and blue jean shorts isn't helping.

"Comfortability comes first." She stated as we head upstairs.

She walks into a room and I follow in after her. This is her room. There's only a bed, a dresser and her suitcases. She still has to settle in. The walls are painted with a light brown colour. It adds a relaxing type of mood.

"Well you're quite comfortable with Armando seeing you like this."

"Armando?"

"Do you walk around like this when he's around too?"

"Alaric, Armando doesn't live here. You love assuming, don't you?" She asked.

Yep, I'm an idiot.

"Sorry. I just thought-"

"Well I actually live here with a college roommate. You know it wouldn't kill you to just ask." She said and threw on a black t-shirt.

"Okay so I'm taking you on that 'Just ask' thing. Is your roommate a girl or a guy?" I asked and she laughed. Why did I just ask that? *Mental slap.* Yep I've lost control over whatever comes out of my mouth too.

"My roommate is a girl Alaric." She said and relief washed over me.

"Okay."

"Why are you so relieved, what if I was into girls too?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest. Okay now she was testing me.

"It doesn't matter." I said playing it cool.

"Relax Alaric. You're the only one I'm into right now." She said and the reassurance put a smile on my face. I love how straight forward she is.

"Right now?" I asked.

"Yeah well we don't know where this will go, so if right now is meant to be extended then it will be." She said simply.

"Do you want it go far?" I asked.

She smiled, " I do."

"I do too."

"Ready to go?" I asked and she nodded.

We headed out of the house and she locked the door then shoved the keys into her shorts pocket.

"You have a motorbike!" She exclaimed excitedly once she saw my bike parked up in front of her house.

"Yes I do." I said, amused by her enthusiasm. She ran to the bike before I could get there.

I aimed to put the black helmet over her head,but she stopped me.

"Wait. Can I get a kiss before I put it on?" She asked. God she's sweet.

I smiled and pecked her lips,but she pulled me back and kissed me hard.

I placed my hand on the side of her head to deepen the kiss. She tasted sweet too.

"Okay. If we don't stop now..." She said in between kisses, "...we'll never leave this driveway."

I kissed her for one last time and our lips parted. I sighed in awe and gazed into her big brown eyes.

After finally being able to break our gaze, I helped her put on her helmet and then I got mine on.

I got onto the bike and she got on the back. I rev up the engine and she moved her body against mine. She wrapped her arms around my waist from behind. I tensed up a bit at our proximity.

"Is this okay?" She asked.

"You could move closer and hold on tighter." I said with a smirk.

"I can feel you smirking." She said in an amused tone, but did what I said anyways.

"Where are we going? Since most places are probably not open yet." She asked.

"We'll drive around for a bit." I said and we went on our way.

...

I showed her around. Where the best restaurants are, where the museums are. I showed her where the movie theatre is and the best parks.

"Okay maybe I was a bit too excited about this and didn't realise that it's still actually really early." I admitted.

"Why don't you show me where you live?" She suggested.

"Yeah, but my parents are home." I said.

"So?"

"So... You said we weren't that far yet."

"And you said I should meet them." She countered.

"Besides take it as them meeting a friend of yours." She added.

"Friends that kiss?" I asked.

"Well they don't have to know that. We're still getting to know each other. I can't help it that during this process I have urges to kiss you." She said.

"Okay fine. Let's go." I said and we were on our way to my house.

...

Once we got to my house, she froze.

"Okay maybe I underestimated the severity of the situation. What if they don't like me!" She said and turned around, but I put my hands on her shoulders and turned her back.

"Hey, trust me I know my parents. They'll probably like you too much."

I took her hand in mine and squeezed it for reassurance.

We walked up to the front of my house and I opened the door.

"Mom I'm home." I called out and my mother immediately appeared.

"Alaric-" Mom started but cut herself off when she saw Luna.

"Hi." Luna said nervously.

"Hello. Alaric why didn't you tell me you have a girlfriend and such a beautiful one too?" Mom asked excitedly and I rolled my eyes. See this is what I was talking about. They're going to like her too much and I don't even know if we'll last. The thought of Luna not being in my life scared me and I think it does more than it should.

"Mom meet my FRIEND Luna." I said and my mom hugged her.

Luna was startled a bit, but relaxed into the hug.

"Well it's so nice to meet you Luna." Mom said and pulled away to look at her.

"You're so pretty." Mom said and Luna smiled.

"Thank you. Alaric didn't tell me his mother is so gorgeous."

"Oh thank you sweetheart. It's all natural." Mom said proudly.

"Are you the girl that makes my son want to get out of the house at 7 am?" My father walks in.

"Dad meet Luna."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Anderson." She greeted.

"Okay we'll be in my room." I interrupt them and grab ahold of Luna's hand and lead her upstairs.

"They'll make such cute babies." I heard my mother say.

I turned around to look at her wide eyed. Luna is in shock by her statement as well.

"Mom?!"

"You heard that?" She asked embarrassed and my dad chuckled in amusement. I turned around to take Luna to my room.

I opened the door and let her in. I walked in and closed the door behind her.

"Cute Babies, huh." Luna said and looked at me smiling.

"Yeah, my mom gets a little too excited sometimes."

"She's not wrong though. We'd make cute babies. Do you see yourself having children in the future?" Luna asked.

"Luna of course I do. You wouldn't be here right now if I wasn't serious about us."

"Yeah, but what if I didn't want kids?"She asked. I haven't thought about that. Most girls want children in the future. It's been one of my unscripted rules too. If the person I'm with isn't willing to talk about marriage and kids for the future then we can forget being together at all. So instead of giving a valid answer, I answered her question with a question.

"You don't want kids?"

"No...I mean I don't know. It's something I haven't thought about much. I'm not a type of person that plans a lot of things out ahead of time. I might say one thing now, but what if in a couple of years I changed my mind,because of the years of experience I gained." She said trying to prove her point.

There was a question ticking inside me that was aching to come out, but I didn't let it. I kept it trapped for now. I know I'll mess up everything by asking it. I eagerly wanted to ask her if it would be that way with our relationship as well. If she might say she want me now, but years after she'll change her mind, because of gained experience in life. I bit my tongue and didn't say anything.

She roamed around my room and I sat at the edge of my bed.

"You're a fan of Bryan Adams?"

"Yeah. You sound surprised." I said.

"I am,but I am also impressed. You have good taste in music." She said and I threw myself back onto my bed, looking up at the ceiling.

"What do you like to listen to?" I asked.

"I like different types of music. To be honest, I don't have a favourite. There's just a variety that I love." She said and sat down next to me.

"You're always undecided, aren't you?" I asked.

"Maybe with a few things, but there's one thing that my mind is made up on."

She leaned back and hovered over me. We stared at each other for a while. Why do I want you so much? There are many signs that goes against all the rules I've set for myself in order for my heart not to be broken, but no matter what I try to do those rules seem to not occur for Luna.

She leaned down towards me and our lips locked. I kissed her passionately and pulled her on top of me.

I squeezed her hips and she let out an involuntary moan. Things started heating up and it turned me on even more,but I knew we had to stop. She's not ready for this. I don't want to ruin everything by doing something stupid and way too early.

"Luna..."

"Hmm?"

"We...have to stop." I said in between kisses.

"No." She said.

"Luna please...You have to...stop me."

"I don't...want to."

"Alaric I brought some-"

We immediately parted at the sudden entrance of my mother. Luna quickly brushed her hair back with her fingers and I straightened my clothes.

"Mom!"

"What? I just brought up some snacks." She said, pretending as if she saw nothing.

Luna cleared her throat, " Thank you."

She set down the potato chips and stared at us.

"Friends huh?" Mom asked and smirked at us. I didn't even know she could smirk!

"Mom!"

"What?!" She asked and I looked at her pointedly.

"Okay fine. I'm leaving." She said and walked to the door.

"And don't forget to use condoms." She said and quickly shut the door,before I could say anything.

I rested my head in my hands, not wanting to show Luna my embarrassment.

"I'm sorry about my mom-"

"You shouldn't be. She's only looking out for you and you should stop shouting at her too. You should appreciate her." Luna said and something told me that what she was saying came from a deeper place.

"She could have knocked."

"She's sweet. She brought us snacks." Luna said.

"Yeah she is." I nodded

"Luna, we need to set rules." I started.

"Rules?"

"Yeah. I couldn't stop myself and when I asked you to stop me you didn't either. I know that if we weren't interrupted, we would've gone much further then what you are ready for and in the end we'll both regret it. It can't happen again. I know that I would stop if you just asked me, but as long as I have your consent I won't be able to control myself. So from now onwards we'll have rules." I said and she took a moment to take in my words.

"Okay? But what if I wanted to. Isn't it okay when I give you my consent?" She asked.

"It's not if your consent is given from pure desire. I won't have sex with you on impulse, unless you're ready and you're completely sure." I explained.

"Okay fine. I agree, but how will you know when I'm ready and when I'm just giving my consent out on impulse?" She asked.

"I'll just know. Trust me."

"Fine. Enough of this sex talk. These chips aren't going to eat themselves." She said and I smiled.

She opened a pack and we started to eat the barbeque flavoured potato chips.

"What's your favourite thing in the entire world?" She asked randomly.

"Let me think...my favourite thing...sleeping."

"What? Sleeping? That's so boring." She laughed.

"Yeah it's the time you get to take a break from the entire world." I elaborated.

"Okay, so if you weren't with me now, you'd be sleeping?"

"Yes probably."

"Well I feel special now that you're willing to push your favourite thing aside to spend time with me." She said and I smiled. Maybe my favourite thing in the world is about to change.

"And yours?"

"I love love love love love food...and music. Yes food and music are my favourite things in the entire world." She said excitedly.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. Food is just everything. I live to eat,honestly and music speaks to my soul." She said passionately.

"Well I love a woman who isn't shy to eat."

Most girls at our school are shy or afraid to eat in front of other people and I don't understand why. What's the crime in eating? We all do it. Maisey used to be one of those girls.

"Of course you do." She said and playfully rolled her eyes.

"What is your favourite thing about when we're together?" I asked and popped a chip into my mouth.

"How relaxed I feel when I'm with you. How comfortable I am in your presence. During my few years of living, life has really taught me not to trust people, but with you it just...feels right." She said, opening up a bit. I'm rendered speechless.

"And you? What's your favourite thing?" She asked.

"I love how you make me break every rule I set for myself and how it feels as if I'll do anything for you. Strange isn't it?" I cringed at my own words.

"Strange? Maybe a bit. Special? Definitely." She said and it probably left me smiling like a fool.

We were staring deeply into each others eyes, speaking a language only we understood. Her face was red as a tomato. She couldn't stop smiling and neither could I.

"Okay next question...Do you have any tattoos?" She asked breaking our gaze.

"I do. Behind my ear." I turned my head away so that she could have a look at it.

"Defiance?"

"Yeah. I went through a stage of rebellion when I was 15, so that ended up there." I said.

"Oh really? Little bad boy Alaric?"

"Don't call me that." I said and she laughed.

"It's funny."

"It's not."

"It is a bit." She giggled.

"Okay moving on. Do you have any tattoos?" I asked and she smirked at me mischievously.

"What?"

"I do." She said still smirking.

I narrowed my eyes at her, " So where is it?"

"You'll have to completely undress me to find out, don't you?"

"Luna don't tempt me. You know we spoke about this earlier."

"We don't have to do that..." She trailed off and moved closer to me.

"There are other things we could explore with." She whispered in my ear and it caused me to swallow down heavily.

"Luna-"

"Fine. I'll see you whenever." She said quickly and got up then headed towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Félix. I know that he won't reject me."

I jumped up as soon as her irrational sentence finished.

"What?! Are you trying to make me mad?"

"No I'm trying to initiate something."

"Fuck Luna." I mumbled to myself and grabbed ahold of her.

I picked her up by her thighs. She wrapped her legs around my waist and I laid her down on my bed gently.

Our lips collided in the most passionate way it could ever.

"Luna..." I said in between kisses, "I need to lock the door."

"I already did." She said and smiled up at me.

I chuckled and kissed her in her neck. She was already trembling and I barely even touched her.

I started touching her boobs, squeezing them lightly. Testing the waters to see her reaction.

I moved my hand further down and underneath her t-shirt. She shuddered at the sudden contact of my cold hand against her warm skin.

I looked down at her to scan her face.

Her eyes were sparkling with desire. I knew she really wanted it.

I kissed her deeply then removed my lips from hers only to replace it on the center of her stomach. She started to breath heavily.

I grazed my teeth over her skin causing her to gasp.

She lifted herself up and I helped her out of her t-shirt.

I threw it to the side and my lips immediately landed on her body,kissing every bare skin I could find.

I placed soft kisses on her collarbone and raised myself a bit to look at her. She's completely gorgeous and captured me completely.

I gazed into her eyes as my fingers moved to the button and zipper of her shorts.

I unbuttoned her shorts and slowly pulled the zipper down.

I slid my hand in and she moaned as I started touching her gently.

She tipped her head back and closed her eyes as I gave her first ever experience of pleasure. The day that I make her mine completely might be far, but this is only the beginning...
