Tattooed Luna

Chapter 0547 It’s been five minutes that I have been sitting in my car, trying to make my face look like I haven't just bawled my eyes out. After fanning my face, I even looked for extra make up in my purse to see if I could fix it.

My phone buzzed in the cup holder.

Reaching down, I looked at who send me a message.

Alec: Nothing will ever come between us. I' love you more than anything. I'm just scared to lose you.

I had to blink away more tears as what he said really touched my heart. I had a few different responses typed out but | finally decided on what I wanted to say. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Me: I'm a lot of things but my priority will always be you and Adalynn. Maybe you can take the afternoon off and.

spend it with Adalynn and 1? Getting out of the car, the cold wind hit me in the face, making me wish I just stayed home today. It was a quick jog inside and the warmth of the heater was welcoming.

“Hey, Luna!” Calvin was cleaning the floors.

“Hey! You are early.” I said as I checked my watch.

“Yeah, I was nervous so I got here a little early to make sure everything was ready to go.” Calvin rubbed the back of his neck as he looked around.

“I'm going to set my stuff down and I'll be at the desk if you need

anything.” I yelled as I walked into my office. My phone buzzed in my hand.

Alec: That would be great. Maybe we both can think about what we need to say and we can reconnect. I don’t want you feeling this way.

Me: reconnect... sexually??? I'was smiling as I set my phone down and took my jacket off. I didn’t have to wait long for his response.

Alec: Kristen...

I could just picture him rolling his eyes at me, but who was Iif I didn’t throw in some sarcastic remarks.

Me: I don’t want to feel this way anymore. It was painful to just look at you and feel like you were at am arms length away. Like we were on the verge

of breaking up. @» My finger hovered over that message for a few minutes as my heart raced, - That was me being vulnerable and opening up. Finally, I hit send and went to the front desk.

“I'heard you were in an attack yesterday. How’s the ankle?” Calvin asked as he put the broom away.

“It’s getting there.” I didn’t say anything else because my phone buzzed again.

Alec: Nothing in this world would ever make us break up. This isn’t something we can’t figure out. You are mine.

A few seconds later, another message popped up.

Alec: I'll remind you later how much you are mine.

Me: Yes, Daddy Alec: woman... a I set my phone down as my other two employees walked in. “Good morning, Luna!” Brittany said and waved.

“Hey, Luna.” Tom nodded as he walked in.

It wasn’t soon after that my clients came in and my staff got to work.

Everything was going smoothly. By the time Emmy walked in with luna, I had balanced the check book and was adjusting the advertisements, “I came with food!” She held up a plastic bag and to go containers, “What did you bring me?” 1 asked as we went into my office. I shut the door but I took the office phone with me.

“Open face beef sandwich.” She pulled out the container and steam was literally seeping out of it. i f “You are amazing.” I said as I took it and set it on my desk. Emmy sat in the second chair that Alec added for when he was there.

“Tknow. You honestly don’t tell me enough.” Ijust rolled my eyes at her. “Can I ask you something?” I said after a few minutes of us silently eating.

“Sure?” Emmy looked at me confused.

“Do you feel like I have emotionally grown since I first mated Alec?” Emmy’s body froze for a second as she reached for her water. “I mean...” She |

took a sip before answering.

“Yes and no. You still use sarcasm to i hide your feeling some times but you do seem more in tune to them. Like you are more open with physical contact and telling people you love them.” “Oh.” I wasn’t sure what I was expecting or wanted her to say.

“However, the sarcasm is just you. If you didn’t do that, I would think something is wrong. Did something happen?” “Just more of what we talked about last night. Alec said he can’t handle if I get hurt again, like I need to be more aware of situations and not put myself in harms way.” “He said that?” Emmy looked shocked.

“Yes and no. Not all of it but that is what I took from in.” “If you put yourself in his shoes, how would you feel?” She paused as I took another bite. “How would you feel if you watched him get kidnapped...

twice... and beaten up, touched sexually and basically dead multiple times. I think he is struggling emotionally and doesn’t want to tell you because he is afraid you can’t handle it.” “Can’t handle it?” “Maybe that was a bad choice of words.

More like he doesn’t want to put more stress on you when you are healing. He isn’t able to open up to you or he is scared to open up to you.” Looking down, I lost my appetite. That is what he literally did. He opened up to

me and I ran away crying. “Yeah.” “However, if you didn’t do what you | did, a lot of people might have died and it’s not like you sought out our crash yesterday. Trouble just finds you.” Emmy seemed clueless to my demeanor.

“Is that why we are friends. You are the trouble.” “Am I the drama?” Emmy put her hand over her heart and faked being hurt.
