Chapter 17

"Owen, I can't believe its you!" Mom says erratically.

Owen just stayed quiet and looks at the ground.

When he sees me approaching, he gives me a look that I can't quiet read.

"Ash, I think is a good idea if he comes over and has dinner with us." Mom says.

I nod to her suggestion.

But wait, he can't eat human food.

"Is that alright with you?" Mom asks Owen.

"Yes." He replies.

"Okay, great. Come over whenever you like. I'm going home, Ash." Mom says as she walks away.

I'm alone with Owen and it gets awkward.

"Let's just go" I tell him and walk off without him.

He meets up with me in the studio and I shoot poses as he clicks away in his camera.

"All done" He finally says after a few minutes.

"And I'm also done with work so I can drop you off at home." He adds.

"No thanks, I'll go by myself." I reply.

Before Owen can say anything to that, I walk away leaving him confused.

"Why did you do that?" Luna asks as I walk out the studio.

"Do what?" I ask.

"You said no to Owen." She replies.

"Because I can do whatever I want." I huff and walk away from her.

I go to my car and drove home, waiting to get over having dinner with Owen.
