HUMAN LUNA

Chapter 9: Part 2

Once we made it down to the basement, I saw Kendra and Ashton sitting on the couch talking and laughing.

Who's the greatest friend of all time? "mental hair flip*

On one of the tables was Karlie Ann, Greyson, and some other kids I don't know and among them, kids with Loren and a girl named Riley who followed her around and two guys that are friends with Aaron.

"Can I join in?" asked Aaron.

"Oh my god, yes Aaron, you can be on my team!" Squealed Loren, grabbing his arm and leaning on him.

She sent me an evil smile, which I'm guessing she was trying to get me jealous, which is not the case. I don't want Aaron at all, after what Kendra said.

"Luce, your on my team!" Yelled Greyson.

"I don't drink," I said, wrapping my hand around his other arm.

"Well, you play and I'll drink." Said Greyson, laughing.

I nodded. We started the game. It was pretty easy. All you had to do is throw this little ball in the red cup. If you do it, that team has a drink. If you don't do it, you drink.

My team won the first round with only two cups gone. I'm actually pretty good, probably because I'm the only one with straight focus.

After our second game, we emptied a bottle. I offered to grab more from upstairs.

I made my way up the stairs and walked into the kitchen.

I was walking kinda fast because I slipped on the wet floor and crashed into someone with red hair.

Bentley's POV

Why did Karlie Ann and Greyson have to plan a party knowing I just got back?

I was going to tell them to cancel, but when me and Greyson left the spot this morning and saw truck loads of alcohol parked in front of the packed houses.

I'm currently in my room, above the chaos, getting dressed.

I have on black skinny jeans and a grey hoodie. I slipped on my white nikes and, since I didn't feel like doing my hair, I put on my white baseball cap.

I put on my chain that my father gave me and headed downstairs.

When I made it down the first last step, I looked at all the humans filled inside my house.

All the girls were dancing and the guys were either watching or playing at the pool or air hockey table.

As I was looking, my eyes landed on Blake who had his arm around a short little brunette.

Is that your mate? I asked through mindlinked.

His eyes scanned the house and when they landed on me he nodded.

She's cute. I winked.

He returned with a death glare, making me laugh.

I then mindlinked Greyson.

Where are you?

He replied back with, Basement, waiting for the drinks to come down never did.

I'll get them. I linked back.

I went the long way to the kitchen since the shorter way was blocked.

As I was walking, someone opened the back door, letting in a cool breeze. The breeze caught a heavenly scent. It smelled like chocolate and strawberries.

I love chocolate and strawberries, so the smell was kind of intoxicating.

I followed the scent which led me right into the kitchen. Every time I came closer the scent it seems to move away.

Finally, the scent stopped moving, and I caught up with it. The delicious smell was coming from a short brunette.

And as of right now, she was falling landing on Camilla.

"You stupid b*tch!"

Lucy's Pov

"You stupid b*tch!" Screamed the red head, turning to face me. Her drink spilled all over her.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to." I said, backing away. As I was backing up, I was stopped by a wall.

The girl came stalking towards me with her hand ready to strike.

I closed my eyes waiting for the impact, but it never came.

I opened my eyes to see why she didn't hit me, to see a tall muscular figure in front of me.

"Get out of the way Ben," the girl spat.

"Stand down", the figure which I'm guessing is Ben said.

"Move out of the way so I can end her!" She screamed.

"Stand down Camilla!" Ben ordered.

I stepped to the left to get a better look at the two. The girl who I know now is Camilla, tried to lunge at me, but Ben grabbed her by her neck, pinning her to the wall.

"Why are you protecting this human Ben?" Camilla screamed, trying to loosen the grip on her neck.

Human? Weren't we all humans?

"Because she's my mate," Ben growled.

Mate? I hardly know him to call him my 'mate!

That shut Camilla up. She looked at the floor when she was dropped. She yelped as she grabbed her ankle, which was wrapped.

I looked up at Ben to him looking at me. He then grabbed my hand, and led me through the back door.

When his hand touched mine, my whole body was filled with warmth.

He led me through the back yard until we reached a giant in the ground pool.

He then started to take off his shoes and socks, then rolled up his jeans and put his feet in the water.

I sat there watching him from behind. He was strong built and you could see his muscles through his hoodie.

"You can join me if you'd like." He said, kicking the water.

I hesitated but then unzipped my sandals and rolled my jeans, sitting beside him.

We sat in an almost comfortable silence just kicking out feet until I spoke.

"Do you know me?"

He turned and looked at me with a confused expression.

"I mean back there with that girl when you said you were protecting me because I was your mate? Are you Australian. Do you mean friend?"

Ben took a double take, then his face palmed laughing.

"Youre funny and cute." He chuckled.

"You didn't answer my question." I tried to say seriously, but couldn't, because he was giving me a smile that revealed his adorable dimples.

"How about we play 20 questions, you'll get to ask any of your questions and I can ask mine?" He said play to face me.

"What could you possibly want to know about me?"

He then smirked, "Is that question number one?
