Pain of the past

Destined to be mine

***

Luna and Logan stared intensely into each other's eyes as words couldn't express how they felt but they were both sure about what thing and that was the undeniable feeling they had for each other. Lucille, still in shock could only stare clueless at both of them not until she broke up the silence.

“ Uhm! I'm still here, you know?” she coughs dramatically getting their attention.

Luna and Logan quickly snap out and turn around to Lucille in an abrupt manner.

“ Well, sis this is the guy I was telling you about Lucille Meet Logan, meet Lucille, my twin sister,” she said, with a wide smile back at Landon.

“ Nice meeting you, twin sisters. Fascinating!” he said leaning on his car.

“ Yeah? Fascinating like trying to kill me?!” Lucille burst out aiming at hitting Landon.

Luna notices her sister picking up a stone to hurl at Logan and quickly says ;

“ Ok sis, let's just put all of that behind ok? Please ?” she said, taking away the stone from her hand.

“ Fine, only because of his pretty face,” Lucille said, gazing back at her sister.

Logan quickly gives out a warm smile at the both of them and opens the door of his car offering to give them a ride to the restaurant but Lucille declines and says;

“ No I'll pass, I think one of us has this special moment huh?” she turns to Luna who already knew what she meant.

“ That's ok Lucille, I think you should go back to the hostel. It's getting late now.” She tells her sister and comes in for a hug.

“ Yeah, I know. Have a great time with hotness here and don't do what I wouldn't do,” she whispers to her in her ear, gives out a wink and zooms off in a taxi.

Now Logan and Luna are left alone together. Suddenly Landon takes Luna's hand in his with a bright smile across his face and gently leads her into the front seat of his car, shutting the door behind her as he speeds up to the restaurant.

A few minutes later….

8 pm in the night with the moonlight shining ever bright and the atmosphere calm and breathtaking they walk into the restaurant. Luna, mesmerised by the lovely view, couldn't be happier spending this moment with the guy of her dreams. missed a step she strips and falls but luckily gets caught just in time before she hits the floor. Facing up she sees no one other than Logan and they both lock eyes and stare motionlessly at each other until Landon says;

“ Hope you're ok?” he says pulling her up into his arms

“ Y…yes I am sorry for being so careless,” she tells him with a sad face.

“ Hey now no need to apologise besides it's cute,” he tells her and laughs.

“ Cute? How is falling cute?” she says crossing her arms against each other.

“ Well, I got to catch the most beautiful woman in the world and she's called Luna,” he tells her and pulls her in for a hug.

Luna couldn't help but smile uncontrollably and she wrapped her arms around him too. Closing her eyes she felt so happy and wished this moment never ended. Having dinner and listening to pleasant melodious songs made their night unforgettable. With eating, dancing and hand-holding their love grew even more.

Ticking 10 pm it was time for Luna to head back to her dorm. Filled with happiness she turns to Logan who seems focused on driving and says;

“ Thank you for today, this is a night I'll never forget,” she says slowly placing her hand on top of his own.

Logan notices her touch and quickly gases to her and says;

“ Yes me too, I love you,” he tells her, holding her hand tightly in his.

“ I love you too.” She tells him and both lean for a kiss but get interrupted with a call from Logan’s phone.

Arriving at the school’s dorm, Luna gets out of Logan's car and turns around to leave but Logan honks his car at her.

“ I would love to see you tomorrow, I have a surprise for you,” he tells her and immediately zooms off before Luna can even ask.

The next morning…

Beautiful chirps of blue colourful birds sing melodiously waking up Luna, Lucille, Ava and Miya from their sleep. It's a very good thing because they were extremely late for school as their professor Mr Leo hated tardiness and lateness whenever his teaching.

“ Wake up girls! We're late!” screams Lucille who already jumped off from her bed and sped into the bathroom.

“ Oh no! We're so dead! Mr Leo is teaching today.” says Miya panicking as she scatters her wardrobe for an outfit to wear.

Those two were bothered except Luna and Ava who couldn't care less but just laugh.

“ What's so funny?” asked Lucille who got half ready picking up a brush to comb her hair.

“ Nothing actually, I mean seriously. Why are you both getting worked up is it just a lecture ok?” says Ava who gets up from bed taking a bit of apple she picked up from her table.

“ Yeah, a lecture that if you fail you would repeat a whole semester! Luna. back me up here.” She turns to her sister who giggles endlessly swaying her hair.

Both Lucille, Ava and Miya were confused to see such behaviour from Luna as they all exchanged glances. Not long after Luna comes out from the bathroom and quickly dresses up for school.

“ Well, shall we get going? We're already late, aren't we? ” she says making her way to the front door.

Lucille, Ava and Miya still didn't understand what was happening but said nothing and quickly left, following Luna behind.

In school…

Luna, Lucille, Ava and Miya luckily meet up just in time to join the class before Mr Leo enters. The lecture started exactly at 9 am and ended at noon and thank god it was the only lecture they had today. Luna notices her sister had already left before them and immediately follows her trail leading her to where she saw Logan talking to her.

“ Hey Luna, funny bumping into you. How was the lecture?” he asked, carrying his back on his shoulders.

“ It was ok. I just got exhausted from all the long grammar and decided to buy a drink, you know, to cool off. What about you?” She said taking out her phone from her purse.

“ Well, I was just heading to the football team. We have practice to do and I'm running late. If you wanna come we could head there together?” He tells her waving to a friend of his who passed by.

“ Hey dude don't forget, we need you as soon as possible.” a friendly voice tells him and disappears off inside the crowd.

“ I would love to, is just that I'm waiting for someone. You better start going before you get called again. Well, see you soon. Bye!” she tells him and takes her leave to the cafeteria.

After an hour she checks her phone again but doesn't see a call or message. Disappointed and sad she decides to turn around to leave but before she can turn she hears a familiar voice calling out to her.

“ Hey, I'm sorry I'm late. Hope you're not upset with me?” Logan tells her, giving her a beautiful rose flower.

“ What? Omg?! It's beautiful and smells nice!” she says, throwing herself at him with a quick peek on his cheeks.

“ I'm glad you like it. It's nice seeing you smile and laugh,” he tells her and kisses her on her forehead.

“ I guess this is the surprise you talked about right?” she said, smelling the beautiful rose.

“ Well not really, the surprise was me but anything you say it's fine by me,” he tells her leaning in for a second chance to kiss.

Luna notices his gesture and immediately closes her eyes waiting for the magical moment to happen but once again gets interrupted by Lucille who is furious.

“ Luna! I can't believe you left me all for a guy! I was wondering where you had gone off to and decided to follow you to meet…him?” she yells coming out from her hiding spot.

“ Lucille, not again! You keep ruining everything! Can you be happy for me?” she tells her sister, locking eyes intensely at her.

“ Happy? Of course, I'm happy for you but we're sisters aren't we?” she asked, taking a deep breath.

“ Yes, of course I know. So?” Luna asked brushing a strand of hair from her eyes.

“ So maybe I want my sister to always be by my side when I need her the most, ok? To talk to? Laugh, play and talk about silly jokes.” Lucille tells her breaking down with teary eyes.

“ Oh grow up Lucille, we're not in high school or babies anymore! If you don't have a social life as always I do so please don't make it difficult for me as it is. ok?” She tells her sister brutally.

“ Luna?! How could you say that to me?” Lucille asked, giving her a hot slap right across her face.

“ What? How dare you?! You mustn't act so protective like mum was ok?! Because we both know you can never be her?!” she yells in pain and anger.

Luna notices her sister in tears and immediately comforts her, whipping away her tears.

“I… I'm sorry for the outburst, I…I didn't mean it. I'm so sorry.” she wails continuously.

“ It's alright, i understand you miss mum me too but remember we just have each other Luna. Me and you, nobody else and we have to be strong for each other ok?” She tells her and they both embrace themselves.

Logan felt the warmness of sincerity between the two sisters. His happiness and love for Luna became even stronger as the love within him was something he couldn't control. His only concern was her but remembering the family he came from he couldn't be sure if he could hold on to his only happiness.
