At night,
Luna packed some few things she needed while Drake only took his jacket and rings. That's the only property he has.
He didn't bring anything along from Dracan Empire.
The two set out to find a hotel with less price in the city and they finally saw one.
Luna paid for a room and was given the key.
"Why one room?" Drake asked as they walked to the corridor.
"Didn't you hear what the receptionist said earlier? No available rooms again. It just one room left." Luna rolled his eyes at him.
"Yeah, I totally forgot. I'm not used to sleeping with ladies in the same room." Drake uttered.
Luna stopped and faced him. "What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing. I think that's the room." Drake pointed, avoiding the question.
Luna frowned and put the key to the keyhole and opened the door.
The light in the room was dim but nice, big and comfortable.
"The bed is big enough for the two of us." Luna pointed.
"You can take the bed while I take the sofa."
"Keep doing like a saint." Luna scoffed and landed on the bed. "Do you wanna use the bathroom first?" She asked Drake who was hanging his jacket to a wooden chair.
"Use it first." Drake answered.
Luna took her toiletries, clothes and walked to the bathroom.
She took her bath and wore her clothes there before coming out. Drake entered too.
Twenty minutes later,
"I'm going out to buy food." Luna spoke while on her phone to check some news.
"No, I will go myself." Drake shook his head.
"Why? You don't know anywhere here." She dropped her phone down to look at him.
"I will find my way."
"You can't leave me here though. Moreover, you don't know how they sell food here. I suggest we go together." Luna suggested.
"Fine!"
*************
Drake and Luna walked down the street buying food and some petty things they needed for themselves.
"You should change your clothes. And not wear this same black clothes about. You look like a grim reaper." Luna said and led him to the small boutique across the street.
Luna bought few clothes for him and footwears.
They sat on the bench outside a noodles shop and placed their noodles on the table to eat.
"Are you working?" Drake suddenly asked.
Luna laughed before answering, "Why did you ask?"
"It just the way you paid all the money for the things we bought and you don't look like you will complain about it."
"Well, I work but not a everyday job." Luna answered him.
"I don't understand."
"I mean, I work but only when it my turn to work, I go." She explained.
"And you get huge pay? To be able to buy all this and pay for school fees?" Drake knitted his brows.
"I don't really get huge pay but it still a satisfying pay. I work part time at a magazine company where I write articles for magazines. And the school fees, It free." She grinned and turned to her noodles.
"Free? That huge school, everyone going there isn't paying money?" Drake's eyes widened.
"No, Drake." Luna breathed out. "I didn't say that. I'm on scholarship. The school gave me scholarship as one of the best students. The schools fees, books and every thing that concerns school, the school will cover everything."
"Wow! You're lucky." Drake smiled.
"Your kingdom don't have schools over there?" Luna questioned.
"We do. A huge school like yours too."
"I see."
"Let's eat and go back." Drake muttered.
***************
They got back to the hotel room after their dinner, kept the one they bought on the small refrigerator.
"The sofa is too small for you. Come sleep on the bed." Luna said nicely.
"No, I'm okay." Drake replied, waving his hand off for Luna not to worry.
"The bed is big enough for the two of us!" Luna insisted.
"Luna, don't be stubborn. I said......"
"Hey! I'm just being nice okay. Not like we are going to do anything to each other. Or are we?"
Drake glared at her. "No!"
"Good! Now, come here. I'm going to divide the bed to two with these pillows." She pointed to the big four pillows on the bed and demonstrated it by setting two pillows straight down on the bed. "You see, I will sleep here and you sleep there."
"Hmm....you're unbelievable!" Drake sighed and got up from the small sofa and lay on the other side of the bed while Luna also slept at the other side with the pillows between them.
And they slept.
****************
The next morning,
Luna woke up first. She opened her eyes and they roamed the room well.
The hotel room. She then turned to Drake who was still sleeping peacefully at the other side of the bed.
Quietly, she walked to the bathroom to take her bath and came back dressed.
Drake was already awake.
"Good morning." Luna greeted as she combed her hair in front of the mirror.
"Good morning, where are you going to?" Drake asked.
"To have fun. Today's sunday." She beamed.
"Sunday." Drake mumbled. "Where? Where are you going to have fun? I'm going with you."
Drake jumped down from the bed.
"The beach! I love going to the beach on Sundays"
"Beach? Yeah beach." Drake shrugged.
"You don't know what a beach is called with the look on your face."
"I know. My mom told me a beach is a place where there's sea and fine sand." Drake responded.
"Oh my geez! Your mom got it right though but if you want me to take you there, I will." Luna chuckled and continuing brushing her hair.
Suddenly, they heard gunshots and bomb around the building. Everyone screaming and shouting. It was in the hotel.
"Everyone outside! They are bombing the building! The building is burning!" Someone shouted.
"What's that? Did you hear that?" Luna got up immediately and looked wanted to look outside but stopped on her track when something came into the room.
It was a bomb.
"It's a bomb!" She screamed and ran into Drake's arms and fainted.
