Luna's POV
It was already late and everyone was fast asleep, so I was left with no option than to take him up to our room all by myself. I just feel like strangling him, how can a guy be so heavy?.
I was still struggling to assist Mark up the stairs when I heard a familiar voice call my name. I quickly turned back and to my relief, it was Peter.
"Good evening sir" I greeted.
"Good evening dear" He replied with a warm smile. "Mark. Did he get himself drunk? "
"Look who we have here. My wonderful father" Mark staggered, clapping his hand.
" What has gotten into you son? You are now a drunkard?" He shrieked.
"It wasn't intentional sir. Can you help me take him upstairs? " I pleaded.
"No. don't touch me" Mark fired as his father moved closer to him.
I chuckled nervously.. "Don't pay attention to him sir. He is drunk"
"No. I am not drunk.This man over here is my enemy. Please Luna don't let him come close to me" Mark whined and held unto my hand.
I forced a tight lipped smile. "Don't worry, I am here. Nothing is going to happen to you okay?" I replied and he nodded like a twelve year old.
Mr Peter held unto his arm and assisted him up into the room while I just strolled behind. As soon as we got into the room, he carefully laid Mark on the bed.
"It is so saddening that my own son sees me as his enemy" Mr Peters shook his head, sadly.
"Don't take his words to heart sir. He is drunk"
"It's okay. I totally understand" He forced a smile. "Please take care of my son.."
"I will do that"
"Good night"
"Good night sir" He walked out and shut the door.
I am a princess and I am not supposed to do hectic stuffs like this. This is the work of the maids for crying out loud.
I heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Mark who was lying peacefully on my bed. I pulled off his shoes and covered him with the blankets.
I let out a deep sigh of relief and turned to leave but he drew back by my arm causing me to fall on him. Our faces were metres apart and I could feel his warm breath on my face. I stared at him and he gazed steadily back.
"You.. what is wrong with you?" I stuttered.
"Sleep with me" He pouted his lip.
"What?" I exclaimed with widened eyes.
"Please stay with me"
"Have you lost your mind? Let me go" I
"Please don't go" He pleaded and slept off again.
I hissed and tried to stand up but his hand was interlocked with mine. I made attempt to set myself free but he tightened his grip on me. I sighed desperately and tiredly laid next to him. I couldn't help but smile as he slept so innocently.
God, he looks so handsome - his curly brown hair fanned out at the corner of his face and his pink lips slightly parted as if waiting to be kissed.
I kept on staring until sleep gradually took it's toll on me.
Mark's POV
A new day has dawned bringing with it new hopes and aspirations. The morning rays seeped into the room.
I rubbed my bleary eyes and slowly opened it only to behold Luna's face.
She was sleeping next to me.What the heck! I screamed sitting up.
"What is wrong? What happened?" Luna exclaimed, sitting up too.
" What are you doing on my bed?" I fired. "Did you take advantage of me?"
She heaved a deep sigh of relief. "Hey. You almost scared me. I thought something bad had happened, why did you have to scream and interrupt my sleep?"
"What could be more worse than waking up on the same bed with you. How could you take advantage of a drunk man?" I growled.
" Ew. Why would I take advantage of someone like you?" she rolled her eyes.
" Then what are you doing on my bed? Who gave you permission to come closer to me?"
" Firstly, this is my bed" She snapped. "Moreover, have you forgotten how you begged me to sleep beside you last night?"
" Me? I can never do such a thing. You are definitely telling lies."
" Whatever. Thanks to you, i developed a back ache trying to assist you get home. What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you have to go get yourself drunk? " Luna bit out.
" Don't you blame me. It is all your fault" I fired, standing up from the bed. I walked over to the couch and sat down.
" What? My fault" She repeated in disbelief.
"Yes. You are so stubborn and you don't listen to me. Why would you let that jerk lay his filthy hand on you?"
" It's none of your business.. You were having fun with your new lover Anna. So why can't I have fun too? "
" Lover? Jeez! She is just a friend. Besides, she is dating my best friend. "
" But Anna doesn't see you as a friend. I think she likes you"
I raised my eyebrows. " What? And what made you think so?"
"Is it not obvious? The way she was throwing herself on you, the way she clinged to you and refused to go meet her boyfriend" She whined.
" Are you jealous?" I furrowed my brows.
"Jealous? Of who? You? Not even in my wildest dreams" She rolled her eyes.
Whatever.
"Oh lest I forget. This is your jacket. Thanks" Luna said and threw the jacket to me.
I caught it. " What about yours? I thought you left the house with a jacket?"
" Yes.. I gave it to a lady"
" You gave your jacket to someone? Why?" I asked, confused.
" Okay, this is what happened. When I went to the restroom, I heard someone screaming. I ran over and to my surprise, I met this lady being molested by a man whom I think is her boyfriend. I quickly struck the man and he became unconscious." She explained, excitedly.
" What?"
" Uh-huh that is his punishment for treating a lady like his punch bag." She bragged. "The lady's clothe was torn, so I pulled off my jacket and covered her"
"Aww.. thank you miss superhero but did you ask yourself what would have happened if the man didn't fall unconscious after you struck him?"
" But he did. So there is no need to worry about that" she forced a smile.
I scoffed and stared at this pretty stubborn lady sitting few metres away from me. So brave. After what my last lover did to me, I had developed hatred for women. I believed that all ladies were the same. Cheats, deceivers, selfish, materialistic. Maybe, I was wrong, Luna seems different. She is brave, kind and all shades of beauty.
"What are you staring at?" I suddenly heard a voice say.
" Huh?" I shook my head, coming back to reality and to my surprise, Luna was now seated on the couch, beside me. "When did you get here?"
"Three days ago" She said with sarcasm dripping from every word.
" Ha ha" I wasn't amused.
"That lady gave me this card, what is it for?" Luna stretched forth a small card.
I took it from her. "This is a business card. "
" A business card? Why would she give me her business card?"
" She probably wants you to call her or pay her a visit or something like that" I shrugged.
" Really? Does this mean that I can get my jacket back? Oh my world! I have really missed my pretty expensive jacket"
" What?" I exclaimed with disbelief.
" What? Don't give me that look. We don't have money to get another jacket so I can't afford to lose the one I have" she rolled her eyes.
Oh! I almost forgot. Luna is a money freak. It still amazes me why she she is still stuck with me even after knowing that I am poor.
"Crazy" I shook my head.
