Chapter 34

"I want to see a picture of Adrianna"

"Haven't you seen her before?"

"Well, I remember that she had black hair and green eyes.." I try to remember the rest but she was seen as one of the most beautiful Lunas of all time, there aren't many pictures of her around and as far as I know,there aren't many pictures of her back at the house,"—well that's all I remember"

"I think I have a picture somewhere around here" Dakota leaves the library and I make myself comfy.

"I was seventeen the last time I heard of her"

"Casper is much older than you. That dirty old pervert", She jokes from the other room.

"He's just thirty one Dakota" I smile.

She chuckles, "I thought he was bordering forty"

"Dakota"

"What? considering the way he's been acting this past few years you'd think he was older than me"

I giggle and she enters the room with a small album and a frame. She hands over the frame to me while she takes a seat on the armchair beside me. My mouth opens wide. They weren't kidding when they said that she was one of the most beautiful Lunas of all time. How could I compete with this? How could Casper still look at me after being mates with this goddess?

She looked so beautiful with her black hair let loose, her head thrown back and she had the prettiest laugh ever captured but my heart squeezed when I saw Casper,a very young Casper looking down at her with so much love and adoration.

Dakota snatches the picture from me "I'm so sorry for giving you this picture,I thought I brought the other one" she makes a move to stand up and change it but I put out a hand and stop her.

"It's okay,I'm alright" I try to reassure her but she gives me a very sad smile.

"He loves you very much, don't let this picture tell you otherwise"

I wave her comment aside "I'm not bothered" I lie. I'm normal on the outside but I'm dying in the inside.

"Tell me more about Casper and Adrianna

"no. I know what you're doing"

I pout, "I just want to know how they were like"

"I said no Odetta"

"Wouldn't it be nice to talk about your daughter? I'm sure she was nice and brave"

A smile makes it way on her face, "you have no idea. She was the—" she starts to say and very soon she starts talking about Adrianna's life with Casper.

I laugh at some parts because Casper and Adrianna had the best relationship. Cute,funny,romantic,need I go on?.

Would I be able to give Casper all this? What if I'm not as perfect as her? Maybe I could be Adrianna for him.

When I'm sure that Dakota is fast asleep,I leave and formulate my plan on the long walk back home.

"Where's Casper?"

"He's in town"

"How was Anne?" I tease.

Sebastian hides his blush and gulps down his bottle of water. "She's okay" he murmurs.

I resist the urge to smile at him and decide to ask him to take me somewhere. "You've been going out to town these past few weeks right ?"

"Do you want me to drive you to casper?" He raises a brow at me.

I shake my head abruptly "no, I just want you to take me to a salon"

"There's a salon close to the apartment where Anne lives,I could take you there"

"Great,take me there,just give me a minute to change" I tell him and sprint up the stairs.

I enter my room and quickly change into a pair of dark jeans and a tank top. I slip on a pair of vans and dab lip gloss on my lips before jogging down the stairs.

Sebastian is already waiting for my at the bottom of the stair case. He leads me to the BMW that Casper let him drive to see Anne. My eyes go round when I see the busy streets of the capital. I've never been to this part before. I watch as the people walking about to get to their destinations in time and all the beautiful boutiques, hotels and sky scrapers.

It takes twenty minutes for us to arrive at the salon. Sebastian and I enter inside to see different people working and being worked on. A brunette walks over to us as we just stand around.

"hello, I'm Macy, the owner of this salon. How may I help you?"

"Uh-I was wondering if I could dye my hair here"

She nods, "yes you can. Come this way"

"How bout you come back after four hours" I tell Sebastian and follow the woman.

It takes almost five hours to dye my whole hair black. I pay and walk out if the salon to see Sebastian leaning on the car while eating ice cream. He throws the ice cream cup in the garbage can and gives me a weird look.

I spun around, "so how do I look?"

"You look nice but I prefer your brown hair"

"Do you think Casper will like it?"

"What are you doing Odetta?"

"I'm just trying to make Casper happy"

I enter the car and Sebastian follows suite. He puts the key in the ignition and we start driving.

"Do you know where I can buy green contacts?"

My head almost slams the head board when he stops without warning but thank God I had my seat belt on.

"I know what you're trying to do Odetta and you need to stop it"

"What am I trying to do?"

"I know how Luna Adrianna looks like and I'm telling you that Casper will not appreciate you changing your appearance to fit hers"

I sigh, "just let me buy myself green contacts"

"I'm driving you home now"

"I'll jump out of this car"

He scoffs, "I'd like to see you try"

Casper is already home when we get back and he gives a confused look when I walk over to him.

"What did you do with your hair?" He says as I give him a quick kiss.

"Do you like it?"

He looks confused and unsure, "I don't know what to say. If you like it, I like it"

"Don't I look as pretty as Adrianna now?"

He tenses up and I step back out of his arms, "don't you like it?"

"Are you trying to look like Adrianna?"

I nod, "just a bit"

He sighs and rubs his face, "what are you trying to prove? Are you trying to make me feel better ?"

I don't say anything. I stay silent as he keep on ranting, "what is this about Odetta?"

"I saw her pictures and she looks so much prettier than me. How can you bear to look at me? How can you like stare at me when you've had a goddess as a mate? How can you still look at me. I can hardly compare to her"

"I don't care about that Odetta"

"I'm nothing special compared to her Casper"

"You are special. Now stop saying shit like that"

"What was I thinking when I agreed to this?" I murmur to myself.

He frowns at me, "everything between us is right, stop thinking like that"

"Let's just end this because I'm just wasting your time. They're prettier and better women out there that will be happy to be with you"

"I don't want anyone else. Just you. Get that into your thick fucking skull odetta" he says.

"I don't know. I'm not sure about all this right now. This feels wrong. I'm sorry,I have to go"
