Chapter 22
Luna's POV
"Are you sure you want my advice on what you should wear?" he said raising a brow, "Yes."
"Well if I could have it my way, then probably nothing. But because that's not an option I would suggest jeans and a nice shirt." I rolled my eyes, "Was that so hard?" I said in a playful tone.
"Oh shh." he said with a smirk, I turned back around before finding a pair of black leggings, a short pair of tan ankle boots, a black cami and a boho cardigan.
I left my hair down and put on minimal makeup.
"You look great!" he said standing up in front of me. "Thanks." I said kissing his cheek as we headed out of my room.
"So where are you two kids headed off to?" Asked my aunt who was leaned up against the wall near my kitchen.
"We're going to visit some family of mine." West said
"Oh that sounds nice. Well you have fun." said my mother, we nodded and left.
"So how long are they staying here?" asked West as we got into the elevator, I shrugged.
That's when the doors opened a floor belA tall brunette woman in leather boots and a long furry jacket got on, she had a bright red bag secured on her shoulder and her hair done up in a high bee hive like hair do.
Her perfume was over bearing, the look on West's face showed he was purely appalled, as was I.
As we finally got to the lobby and the women walked off we both found ourselves gasping for air and laughing hysterically.
After we finally stopped laughing I looked at him, I found him running his hand through his slicked back dark hair and staring at me.
"Why are you looking at me?" I asked brushing hair away from my face, he smiled.
"Because, I can. Because you're stunning." his response caught me by surprise.
laughing I looked at him, I found him running his hand through his slicked back dark hair and staring at me.
He walked closer to me and cupped my cheek with his right hand, staring down, his eyes looking all over my face.
I clear my throat
"Uh, we should probably get going, right?" I say shyly.
I never know how to respond to him when he does that. When he looks at me like that.
He breaks his gaze and takes a step back
"Uh, yeah sure." I follow him to the front of the building and we get into his car.
He doesn't say anything throughout the car ride, shit. Did I do something?
Of course you did, idiot. My subconscious says, yelling at me.
"Nick.." he looks at me at the stop light and raises and eyebrow
"Did I do something?"
"No, why would you think that?"
"I don't know, I just feel like I did." I say sliding down into the exspensive black and red leather seats of his Audi.
Still sitting at the stop light he hangs his head and sighs "No, it's not you."
Than what is going on?"
"My mom bought the company, and expects me to take over, to run part of it. The part Robert used to own." He says gripping the wheel firmly.
I take a deep breath and intertwine my fingers together.
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know yet."
I purse my lips and say nothing.
We drive silently again, it took us about an hour to get there, we begin to pull down a dusty driveway and up to a large gorgeous house.
Figures.
A long circular driveway extended down the road, a gate in front of the driveway.
Nick punched in a code and opened it, as the tall black iron gates slowly opened.
We drove up to a large white and gray cottage style home, four garage stalls consumed part of the home, flower pots sat outside of the front doorway, and a swingy bench sat on the right side of the porch.
The house looked like something straight out of an interior design catalog.
We parked and got out, I looked around at my surroundings.
"This place is beautiful." I said, West extended his hand to me as I grabbed it and we walked inside through the front door.
"We're here!" he shouted out as we walked in and shut the door.
The inside was even cuter than outside, the home was filled with warm colors, lots of light and dark cream colors as well as browns.
"Oh I'm so glad you two could make it!" Mrs. Johnso-Miss. Beckmann came running up to us, her arms extended as she pulled us both into her for a hug.
"Oh Luna, honey you look wonderful." she said letting go of our embrace and looking at me.
"Thank you." I said rubbing my arm awkwardly.
"Please, come in." she said as we followed her further into the home, it smelt sweet, the smell of apples and cinnamon filled the air.
"Eli." West said looking at his brother briefly, as we took a seat on the couch, West sat on the arm rest as I sat on the cushion directly next to him.
"So what have the two of you been up to recently?" asked his mom as she looked at us eager.
Nick responded to her as I sat still on the couch.
That's when I noticed I began to feel weird, light headed, nauseous.74
"Uh, where's your restroom?" I asked holding my stomach and standing up, West looked up at me.
"Oh, it's just down the hall, to your left." said his mother a comforting tone in her voice, I nodded
"Thank you" I said as I held my stomach and hurried down the hall.
I shut and locked the door and fell on the ground, crouched over the toilet.
What is going on? I asked myself, my mind buzzing.
My stomach heaved and I shut my eyes, that's when a knock came at the door.
"Tess, you okay?" asked a husky, but comforting voice.
Nick
I shut and locked the door and fell on the ground, crouched over the toilet.
What is going on? I asked myself, my mind buzzing.
My stomach heaved and I shut my eyes, that's when a knock came at the door.
"Tess, you okay?" asked a husky, but comforting voice.
Nick.
"Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." I said covering my mouth and keeping my head over the toilet.
I heaved again
"Luna, open the door." he said, concern in his voice. I took a long deep breath and stretched my arm up to the door handle and unlocked it.
He walked in, his eyes grew wide as he saw me on the floor.
He quickly shut the door and kneeled down next to me, his eyes looked from me to the open toilet and back to me.
Concern written across his face.
He touched my face with his right hand, his hands felt ice cold against my burning skin.
"You're burning up" he said, his eyes scanning every inch of my face.
