Chapter 4

• Luna's POV
• "You know what? You can go and visit her if you like. Your sighs had been too long I can basically hear it from the storage room." Natalie told me as I sit on chair behind the counter. As usual, there aren't a lot of customers since most kids are in school.
• I looked at her, my brows furrowed.
• "You think so?"
• So yesterday, me and this bratty kid Sarah had a little episode. I never meant any harm to the kid as all I want to do is teach her some manners.
• The problem is, my poor attempt of teaching the little girl a lesson actually leads to a bigger disaster. She ended up getting hurt.
• My heart still beats a little faster than normal every time I remember the frustrated look on her brother's face. If I had been a guy, I am sure as hell I'd probably received a punch in the face.
• Doing a first aid treatment on Sarah didn't actually went as smooth as it should be. Sarah cried louder every time I try to touch her and his brother isn't really a great help either. Though I can't blame him for not trusting me.
• After explaining to him that I know what I was doing, he allowed me to proceed while he hug his little sister. The ambulance soon came. It was pretty chaotic and I was just so glad my grandparents did not find out that I messed up on my first day at work. Or maybe they actually know but is not bothered by it.
• Somehow, I wonder if they really trust me enough to push through with this shit. I was never trained for this.
• I should have accompanied them to the hospital but that gorgeous guy whom I later found out is named Devon, told me to back off and stay away. I guess he really hates me. I can’t blame him though. He probably thought I was being mean to his sister which in my defense isn’t the case. But it’s basically subjective anyways.
• And now, my stupid conscience is eating me since last night. I was barely even able to fall asleep.
• Why do I have to be so stubborn?
• "But you know..." my mind went back to where we are when I heard her speak. "I think you're actually more interested into seeing her brother rather than apologizing to the kid." she said as she slightly covered her mouth while chuckling.
• My cheeks turned red.
• "Am I that obvious?" I asked her which she returned with a nod.
• "Actually, the first aid treatment shouldn't have lasted more than ten minutes if I wasn't really distracted because of him. Girl, that guy's face is a masterpiece!"
• Heck, even if she just met Natalie, she felt comfortable expressing herself with her.
• "Does he have a girlfriend?" I thought loudly.
• "Well, I haven't seen him with a girl apart from her sister. Besides, that little girl loves her dear brother so much, I'll bet a dollar, she'll kill any human being who'd dare flip their hair on her brother." she exclaimed!
• I nodded as I kept in mind what she said. Then something crossed her mind.
• "Do you think he'll like me?"
• She chuckled. I just looked at her.
• "You serious?"
• I nodded.
• "Oh my God." she then smiled cheekily. "You little flirt. Hey! I don't want to see you heartbroken. That guy was so nasty. Weren't you scared?"
• "I actually think he's hot."
• "You're really something. But you can give it a try. You're so fucking beautiful; he'll regret it if he rejects you."
• I laughed at what she said. Way to boost my confidence, huh.
• "That's why I liked you the first time I saw you."
• "I actually thought you have a boyfriend."
• I shrugged my shoulders in response.
• She never really had some real boyfriends. She had a lot of male friends, mostly those she meets on her short escapades but of course, she can't say she ever had a relationship. Technically speaking, the longest "fling", if that's what she can call it, is most probably two weeks when she went to Italy. Of course, you need to enjoy Italy with a companion.
• Nevertheless, her past relationships were purely platonic or if not, the farthest she had gone was kissing, like a not even a full make out session.
• She has a liberated mind but she has self-control.
• "It's almost the end of your shift." she reminded me.
• "How about you bring a little peace offering for her sister? You'll need to get close to her if you want her brother."
• "You're good at this huh?" I told her and she smiled. I'm loving the friendship that is blooming over us.
• "Let me just buy something to eat. You need to visit my house sometimes and cook for me." I told her as I stood on the chair while she replaces me on the counter.
• Before I can even leave, she hit my butt so hard I yelp in surprise.
• "Go sway that nasty hip of yours and get yourself a man!" she remarks which made laugh all the way outside.
• She sure is weird. And I like weird, so....
