CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.

When Luna was done, he called out for Owen to join her in the kitchen. Owen made his way to the kitchen. Where he did not exactly know.So he followed the source of the voice and the running water.

As he passed the humongous hallways, his eyes first landed on the transparent glass door that clearly led to the dining room that screamed ROYALTY.

He passed by a game room, a theatre room, then two locked rooms.One had to be her bedroom he thought to himself. He soon found the kitchen that was pretty huge and super modern.

The counter tops were black glass marble designs. Even the kitchen was in black and white.It even had its own bar set up, and another dining table was situated there.

"What would you like to have?" Luna asked as she rinsed her hands on the kitchen sink.

Owen now shifted his focus to her. She had changed her clothes and she was in a large black T-shirt and black baggy sweatpants. Her long curly black hair was tied in a messy ponytail. In his eyes she looked really cute and sexily lazy. He found himself smiling.

"Why are you smiling?" Luna asked raising her eyebrows at him.

"Nothing," Owen answered still smiling.

"Liar," Luna scoffed at him

"You really want to know?" Owen asked as he sat down on one of the long stools on the other side of the counter. Luna stood on other side looking back at him.

"Yes I want to know," Luna leaned in towards him and rested her hands on the counter.

Owen too leaned in and whispered softly, "It's just that you look really cute right now," He stared deeply into her eyes and Luna's heart for sure did skip a beat. The intensity in the room suddenly intensified a notch higher.

"Well thank you." Luna whispered back smiling and got up from her position.

"Now back to my question, What would you like to have?" Luna asked softly.

"I honestly don't know. Surprise me." Owen muttered smiling his right hand on his chin.

"Okay. If you are disappointed, just remember, you asked for it, " Luna said as she took out all the things she needed.

Owen sat by watching as Luna worked her way through into making him a meal. He could tell she was making pancakes. He loved pancakes. But the way she made the pancakes, seemed a little bit different.Anyway what did he know about cooking when he never lifted a hand to make himself a meal. He never got tired of watching her. A smile was fixated on his face all through until he felt pressed. Luna directed him to the bathroom before returning to finish off her pancakes.

She then made a fruit pudding and hot chocolate to go with the pancakes. When Owen returned, a plate was set out for him.A huge steamy mug of hot chocolate was by the plate's side.

"This looks delicious," he muttered as he sat down and took a bite of the pancakes. The corners were damn crispy and crunchy and the rest parts of it were so fluffy and puffy. Just the way he liked his pancakes.

"This is so yummy!" he exclaimed as his taste buds busted in sweetness.

"Here pour this and you'll thank me later," she winked at him passing over her home-made bottle of syrup to Owen.

Owen poured a little bit on the piece he was about to bite.

"Let's see," He said as he took the bite. His eyes bulged out in shock. "what the hell is in that syrup?" he asked as he took the bottle and poured out some more all over the pancakes.

"My little secret," Luna said laughing as Owen kept on munching his food really fast moaning in delicious ecstasy.

"You made this?" He asked in shock.

"Yes," Luna said smiling proudly.

" It's really tasty, It gives the pancakes a more sweeter taste." Owen complimented.

The two engaged in conversation as they ate to their fill. Laughter filled the atmosphere and at the time Owen's phone was ringing endlessly. It was Mikayla. It was already 12 a.m and Owen had not yet returned. She was getting worried. Karen and Matilda too called Owen but with no success they calmed Mikayla telling her that he would be back soon.

"I'll help you clean up," Owen said as they both got up. He did the dishes as she returned everything to its rightful place. It was 12:30 by the time they were done.

Owen seeing it was too late, he bid Luna goodbye and thanked her for her hospitality.

"You must teach me how to make hot chocolate like you do. I have never tasted anything so sweet like it," Owen said as he put on his shoes.

"Be my guest," Luna smiled softly at him. The place was suddenly starting to feel empty as he was leaving.

"Goodnight Luna,"

"Goodnight Owen."

And off he went.

Luna texted Mary some instructions that she needed her to do tomorrow in the morning. She went to take a quick shower before she could lie down and sleep. Owen's eyes, his smile, his laugh, his voice, his touch, his sleek beautiful black hair was all she could think about. No guy ever had the same effect on her the way Owen did. There was just something about him.

Luna knew that this was dangerous for both them especially at this time but she couldn't help it and so was fate. This damn thing always has a way of messing our perfectly laid out plans. Luna had beaten fate couple if times but she wondered if this time she would be lucky. Getting Owen off her mind, she got out of the shower, got into her black t-shirt and her black sweatpants.She tied her hair and covered it with an night cap. She took her medicine and got into bed. She was tired and sleepy but at the same time she was restless.
