Another lady

Tanya's POV
I was seated on the couch, surfing through the internet when I suddenly heard a knock on the door. I flinched back in fear. Could it be Clark?. Geez. I hope he isn't the one.
I stood up and hurried up to the door and turned down the knob.The door flung open to reveal a young lady. She was dressed in a well cut black,pant suit and white button up shirt. It was the lady that saved me at the party. I let out a deep breath of relief.
"Hi" She grinned.
"Hi. Pease come in" I beckoned.
She gave me a warm smile and obliged. Her closed toe heels made some sounds as she catwalked into the large foyer.
" Wow. You have got a beautiful house here" She exclaimed, running her eyes around the room.
" Thank you"
I took a closer look at this lady who was brave enough to stand up and protect another lady whom she barely knows. She looked so familiar! I could swear that i have met her somewhere before.
"Have we met before?" I asked, wearing a confused look.
"Huh. Oh. Yes" she nooded. " You are the rude lady that bumped into me at the mall few days ago"
I raised my eyebrows. What?
" You are shocked right? Yes I was also suprised when I found out. Just like they say, we are living in a small world" She forced a fake smile and made sure I knew how fake her smile was.
" I am really sorry for the other day. I was not in a good mood and.."
She cuts me off. " It's okay. I was also at fault too, I am sorry"
I chuckled.." So let's start afresh. I am Tanya" I brought out my hand for a handshake.
" I am Luna" She giggled as we shook hands.
" Take a seat please, I will go get us something to eat" I gestured, pointing to the large blue couch.
" No need for that. A drink will be okay"
" Okay"
I walked over to the kitchen and opened the fridge's door. Oh! I forgot to ask her which drink she prefers.
"Hey Luna.Do you want alcohol or wine" I called out from the kitchen.
" Juice is cool by me. I don't plan on sleeping in your house"
I cackled. I picked out a bottle of juice and placed it on a tray with two glass cups.
"Here we go. Have some orange juice" I announced, joining Isabel on the couch.
I placed the tray on the center table and poured out some of the juice into the cup and gave it to her.
"Thank you. So do you live alone or with your husband?" Luna asked and sipped the juice.
"Husband? I don't have a husband"
"What? Then who is the man that assaulted you at the restroom in the party? "
" Oh you mean Clark? He is just my boyfriend" I forced a smile.
" Your boyfriend? " She repeated in disbelief.
" Yes.."
" You mean, that monster is not even your husband? An ordinary boyfriend? " Luna asked with widened eyes.
" Yes.."
" Jeez. Then what is stopping you from cutting off from him?"
A very nice question which I still can't find a believable answer to. I think I have been bewitched.
" I have tried doing that a countless times but I couldn't"
" And why is that? "
" Because I love him" I stated. This should be the only reason right?. I mean what else could be stopping me from breaking free from a man who delights in making me suffer.
" But he doesn't love you"
I raised my eyebrows. " What made you think so? "
"What kind of a question is that? Which man would dare raise his hand on a woman he loves"
" Oh you almost scared me! I thought you caught him with another woman or something like that." I heaved a deep sigh of relief.
" Seriously?" She furrowed her brows.
"Look.. I know Clark is kinda violent sometimes but believe me, he is a good person and he loves me too. He only acted that way because I got him angry"
" You mean by smiling with another guy? " She replied with sarcasm dripping from each word.
" Kind of." I twitched my lip.
"Poor you. If this is what love is, then I am definitely not going to fall for it"
" Whatever" I rolled my eyes. " Let's forget about me. Tell me about yourself"
" About myself? There is nothing to know about me except for the fact that I am an Alien"
Huh?. I burst out laughing. " You are really good with jokes, huh?"
She chuckled. "Just kidding! I can't really remember who I am. I have an amnesia"
" I am sorry"
" No don't be. It is okay"
" If you can't remember anything who then do you live with?"
" I live with a rude jerk"
" You have a boyfriend? " I exclaimed excitedly.
" No he is not my boyfriend. He is a total jerk and a pin in my neck." Luna rolled her eyes.
I chuckled. Just then, the door bell rang.
Luna's POV
"Someone is at the door" I said, stating the obvious.
"Yes I know.. " Tanya slowly replied, fidgeting with her finger.
" Then go open the door"
" Huh? Okay"
I paused as i realized that she was scared of something. Possibly, she was afraid of whoever was at the door.
The knock came again, louder this time.
"Oh my God! That must be Clark and looking at the way he is banging the door, I am sure he must be angry" Tanya rattled.
" What made you think it is Clark? It might be someone else you know?"
"No. I never invited any of my friends apart from you neither am I expecting any visitors."
The knock came again, more violent this time.
"Just go open the door, I am here to protect you" I assured, picking up one of the glass cups.
" What is the glass cup for?" She furrowed her brows.
"Huh? I will smash it on his head if he tries to do anything funny"
"What? Just drop the cup down. Thank you, I don't need your help" Tanya sneered, taking the cup from me and dropped it down.
" If you say so" I shrugged. "Then, go and open the door. You wouldn't want to get him more angry"
We sauntered over to the door. She stretched forth her hand to input the door's password when we suddenly heard a scream, making us flinch back in shock.
"Luna. Are you there? Are you okay? Don't be scared, I am coming to save you. Hey! Don't you lay your hands on her or I will kill you" The voice roared from outside.
That voice sounds familiar!
" That is not Clark's voice! Who could be causing such a noise pollution? And who the hell is Lu.. Oh my gosh! You are the Luna" Tanya exclaimed.
" Mark? It is Mark"
" Who is Mark?" Tanya asked, confused.
" Just open the door"
She input the door's password and it cracked open the reveal the last person I wished to see.
"Mark? What are you doing here?"
He briskly walked over to me and dragged me into his embrace.What the heck.
"Get off me. What is wrong with you?" I gently pushed him off.
" Are you okay? Did they hurt you? I am not going to spare them" He said panting heavily and running his eyes over my body.
" Stop it. I am fine."
" Are you sure?"
" Yes. Why would you think I am in danger?"
" I knocked more than twice and they refused to open the door. What do you expect me to think? "
" That I have been kidn*pped?"
" Uh..huh" he nooded his head.
"You know I am a brave girl, no one can hurt me you know?" I bragged.
" Yes I know.. but you are my responsibility and I still have to protect you" He grinned, and rubbed his hand on my head.
" Don't touch me" I pushed off his hand, feeling frustrated.
"Sorry ma'm" He raised up his hand.
But how did he know the address of Tanya. I told him that I was going to see her but I don't remember telling him the address.
"How did you know I was here?" I furrowed my brows.
" I..I.. kind of followed you secretly" He stuttered.
" What? But I told you not to come with me. "
" Yes you did but I can't let you go to some random place alone. What if they do something horrible to you? How then will I protect you? " He insisted.
" What? "
Aish ! My life on Earth is ruined. I didn't sign up for this. I shouldn't have choose to live with Dave. I shouldn't have even met him.
Why the hell is he treating me like some kind of a teen? Yes I know I am a princess and I have been guarded, followed and protected all my life but I want something different. I want to experience what it is to go to wherever I please without anyone intruding my privacy or keeping an eye on me like I am a thief.
I want to experience freedom! And this jerk is gradually trying to steal it from me.
"I don't remember employing a bodyguard. So don't ever do this again" I sneered.
"Must you always be a snub?"
"And must you always be so annoying?" I fired.
We suddenly heard a cough. We stopped arguing and turned back. Oh! I almost forgot that Tanya is here.
"Tanya?" Mark exclaimed and threw his head back, like someone who had just seen a ghost.
She paused and then her eyes widened in shock. "Mark" Tanya screamed and ran into Dave's embrace.
Another lady?.What in the world are they seeing in him?
