"Drugs or alcohol?" Zack asked

"Both" Leo said

"Excuse me what?" I asked

"You think I'm some innocent little bean? Girl please" Leo scoffed

"Well this is news" I chuckled

"Alcohol" Dani said

"Water" Mia added

"I need to go to the doctor and check out this bump on my ass-"

"We're still EATING" Leo groaned

"No you're not, we've been here for hours. No one's in the restaurant and the employees are falling asleep" Zack motioned to the cashier that was leaning against the computer, half asleep

"It's night already?" Luna asked

"Yes, while you two have been eye fucking, the sun went down" Dani said

A blush seemed to find its way onto my cheek. It's been hours since we've all been in this one booth of the restaurant, just talking about our crazy experiences for the past five years.

But my attention was far from their conversation, Luna's fingers would brush against my thighs every few seconds and send this shiver down my spine

Being so close to her was making my heart race, our shoulders were pressed against each other since we all tried to fit in one booth.

I stole glimpses of ever face until I gave in and refused to remove my eyes from her. Those soft green eyes always caught me off guard, that smirk she held made me know that she felt my eyes on her, the way she bit her plump lips drove me mentally insane. I just couldn't keep my eyes off her.

So instead of talking to everyone else, she turned her attention towards me and we've been having this intense staring contest for the past 15 minutes, no words, just a thick tension between us.

"Where should we go now?" Luna asked

"The beach?" Mia asked

And with that, my attention was brought over to my best friend. The beach sounded interesting right now.

"I haven't been to the beach in so long" Luna pouted, gosh she's so cute

"Aww, let's go. It's right around the corner" I giggled

"Now we skinny dip" Dani gasped

"Are you trying to stain your father's name?" Luna asked the girl

"Was it not obvious?" Dani laughed and stood to her feet

The employees were then startled when they heard chairs graze against the floor. Happy that we were finally leaving so they could lock up. Poor things

We all made our way out the restaurant, the cold breeze immediately touched my skin. My eyes met the dark sky that had stars scattered like seeds, they shone and twinkled brightly. The moon made her appearance, being the second second in the night. It was wide and gleamy, looking like a bigger version of a light bulb.

The gays found their way down the street, there wasn't a car in sight, just the cold air and our laughter filled the road. I hopped onto a log nearby and tried to balance myself, I chuckled when I almost slipped

"Watch it" Luna chuckled as she held my hands, balancing me on the log as I walked

I giggled and tried to run on the thick piece of wood on the ground, only to slip and almost fall. Luna groaned and held my hands tighter, pulling me into her body so I wouldn't fall flat on my ass.

My body brushed against hers for a second and I felt goosebumps crawl on my skin where her body touched.

"Thank you" I smiled and hopped off, we continued our journey, I didn't even notice that our fingers were still intertwined.

"Did I ever tell you how much I'm proud of you?" Luna asked

"why would you need to?"

"Because I want you to know it, I'm so impressed with everything you've done and the person you've become. You stayed true to yourself, sure you've changed physically but I see no difference emotionally" Luna whispered

I could feel my heart flutter in my chest from her words alone, her thumb was circling my palm and making me feel weak.

"Why do you say that?" I questioned, my feet lightly kicked a few pebbles in our path

"I just know" she grinned

The beach was almost in sight, just a few more steps and we would reach our destination.

"How's Taylor and James?" I asked

"They're great, James actually works at the strip club now. He says it's the only place he feels like himself" She smiled

"Oh my god" I laughed

"And Taylor is trying to start her own business. She wants to run a fitness center, for now she has a small gym but she'll grow it and turn it into a company"

"Damn, Taylor's making big moves" I chuckled

"Yeah she is" Luna whispered, her eyes glanced over to me

I found feel her eyes burn holes into the side of my face, making me blush. I missed having her full attention, I missed having her eyes all over me. It made me feel special, invincible almost?

When the daughter of the devil only has eyes for you, it truly makes you feel invincible.

"When are you gonna sing for me?" Luna asked

"Me?" I chuckled

"Yes you. I've only heard you once since I came back, don't I at least deserve a private show?" Luna smiled

"You do" I chuckled

A/N the song is above, you can play it now💖

"Let me hear it then" she giggled, I smiled widely before taking a deep breath in

"Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line" I sang, Luna's smile grew wider

She brought my knuckles to her lips as she placed a tender kiss of them, a soft giggle escaped my lips as my heart flutter again

"But swimming in your water is something spiritual, I'm born again every time you spend the night" I sang

"Cause your sex takes me to paradise
Yeah your sex takes me to paradise
And it shows" Luna sang and winked at me, I couldn't help but laugh

"Cause you make me feel like, I've been locked out of Heaven
For too long, for too long" I sang, my eyes met Luna under the moonlight

We stood in the middle of the road, the gays were already on the beach a few feet away from us. All that lit our view was the moonlight and a lightpost that brought out her green eyes even more.

Luna's hands gripped onto my waist, my eyes were still piercing through hers, those green orbs told me a story that only I could read. They pulled me in and wrapped me around in a blanket of her love, a heavy tension landed between us.

I subconsciously snaked my arms around her neck, her eyes landed on my lips as she leaned closer. I needed her lips right now. My heart raced with each mili second that went by, her warm body invaded mine.

"I wanna kiss you so bad" she whispered almost desperately above my lips, her eyes still locked onto them. It caused shivers to run down my spine, my head started to swing having her so close to me.

"Then do it" I whispered

Her lips pressed against mine in a soft kiss, I felt something do flips in my stomach, they tingled the second our lips touched. I almost moaned at the feeling of her soft butterfly lips on mine, sending wild tremors along my nerves.

It was the type of kiss that took your breath away, the type of kiss that makes you melt, fall in love within seconds.

So I pulled her closer, desperately wanting to keep her in this moment. Afraid of pulling away and allowing this feeling to end, all of my nerves, all of my panic was gone. I just needed this right now, I needed her.

I was stunned at myself, it was as if my body was taking control and my mind was cut off. I guess it was my heart doing it's job right now.

I was breathing deeply, taking in every inch of her that I possibly could in this moment. Her warmth, her pounding heart, her soft skin that was so close to mine. God how I missed this, I missed us.

Her thumb brushed against my cheek, her insistent tongue parted my lips and brushed against my own tongue. Goosebumps trailed along my skin, feelings the wind knock out of my stomach. It was as if she electrified every inch of me with just her lips.

"Yuuuuhhh get intooo ittt" Dani squealed from the beach

I smiled against Luna's lips, her soft giggles left her mouth as we pulled away. Our eyes landed on the gays that were standing by the water, staring at the both of us. Were they watching us all this time?

"That was hot, not gonna lie" Ryan snickered

"My one true pair" Leo pouted and formed a heart with his hands before placing it against his chest

My face flushed red from embarrassment and my head subconsciously found its way to Luna's chest, burying my face into her clothing. The girl chuckled and wrapped her arms around me, her warmth was now mine.

So we stayed there in silence, we didn't need any words to speak. It was something I always admired about our relationship, we understood each others feelings without any expression.

Frankly I was scared of what I was feeling, at this point I'm tired of it. I'm tired of holding back, I'm tired of pretending, it was becoming exhausting to not be who I want to be and do what I want to do.

But of course there was still something else that was holding me back. My heart.

I can't pretend that I didn't go through the most traumatic emotional, mental and physical pain for the past five years when Luna left.

I know it wasn't her fault, I know that. But it really doesn't mean all of those years of crying and pleading and attempts to numb my pain was gone out the window.

Then again..everytime I see her face, a little bit more of that pain seems to fade away.

"Ready to head to the beach?"
