LETTER TO LUNA
___________
Sugarhill, Harlem

"BUT DONT YOU ACTTTT LIKE, you don't miss the old times and I don't ever cross yourrrr mind don't act likeee you just.don't careeeeee" Notti sung in the car with dd and Ddot as jstar was driving them.

"Don't you acttttt like you don't think about theeee pass— Notti bro shut up" Ddot side eyed his friend as he sung his heart out SCREAMING.

"Feeling that song a lil too hard" dd turned it down so he could hear what was playing off his phone.

"He singing to Luna ass" Ddot joked but was also dead serious, Notti sucked his teeth side eyeing him.

"Why y'all always gotta mention shorty around me bro like always" he groaned asking them.

"Ain't she ya girlfriend?" Jstar asked from the drivers seat, Notti rolled his eyes

"I AM SINGLE!" He announced in the car loud enough for the car next to them to hear.

"Okay so it don't bother you that she fucking wit kobe?" Ddot asked, DD's Eyes grew wide not knowing this information until now.

"What bitch?" Notti turned to him asking it seems he as well didn't find out till now .

"Ion know for sure if they fucking wit eachother but they definitely got sum going on" he shrugged— a sick filling filled Notti's STOMACH.

"They cute too, I be seeing them in art class painting together and during writers workshop they be writing poems to each other" Ddot dragged on partially lying because he didn't even have writers WORKSHOP.

"Ight Ddot you dragging it" dd laughed shaking his head, Notti just looked down at his phone.

"Good fa her" he shrugged, hiding his emotions so they didn't think he cared even though he wanted to cry no way someone else was making her happy.

His biggest fear was someone that wasn't him making her HAPPIER— he knew that sounded selfish but it was real, he didn't want the girl being miserable without him I mean he wished for her happiness and he wanted her to be happy....but happier?

"This nigga bouta cry" dd pointed in his brothers face, mugging him he slapped his hand away.

"Yoooo Notti i def forgot to ask how the fuck you bring a gun on the plane?" Ddot asked Looking over to the boy.

"Like what're u yapping about" the already irritated boy asked growing even more irritated.

"Remember when u scared viola wit a gun...how u get it to dr— Lenny gave it to me" he cut him off saying, lenny was their cousin in dr who basically did the same stuff they did just in another country.

"Back to Lou tho- noooo not back to her" Notti shook his head at them.

"You'on miss her Bro?" dd asked his brother who threw his head back staring at the car ceiling.

"I'm not answering that" he shook his head, that question was truly hard for him because at times he felt them breaking up was for the better but majority of the times he found himself MISSING her badly.

"That's a yes" dd muttered to Ddot.

Notti still followed Luna so when her story popped up he analyzed it seeing it had song lyrics.

𝙇𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚_

"Fuck do she meannnnnn" Notti unintentionally dragged out looking at the photo, he stared at it he missed her body, her skin, the way she smelt, her hair her touch her ROOM.

"I think it means you her opp— or maybe she just like the song Ddot" dd eyed Ddot Like he was dumb.

"Bro anytime she post wit song lyrics it always mean sum I'm not dumb...you think I should ask?" Notti asked clicking onto the reply button.

"You ya self just said you wasn't worried bout her..."

"Okay but she bashing me onna net— ya delusions is making you think that my heart" dd told him

"I just wanna kiss her neck and shoulders brooo" Notti dragged admitting, he was going through it.

"Head shoulders knees and toes" Ddot lowly sang snickering.

"But then it's like fuck her she make me so mad" he sat his phone on his lap, clicking off the app .

"Like i need something to take my mind of this girl bro, and y'all don't help at all" his hands wrapped around his HAIR as he stressed.

It was as if his prayers had been answered because he soon got a ding on his phone.

"Guess who just texted me bro" Notti looked up from his phone after hearting the message, the two boys turned to him shrugging.

"Luna?"

"Morgan?"

"No both y'all is all the way off...Nigga Alex"he told him.

"Alex Alex as in Alexis monroe??" Ddot asked turning his ENTIRE body to face Notti.

"Yes Bro— wait Monie?? The one you was feening over in 7th and shi and she rejected you so you had to force ya self to move on?" dd dragged.

"Yes Bro" Notti dead faced his brother saying.

"She tryna link, I'm lowkey scared that was my baby foreal" Notti smirked nodding.

"Nigga she didn't want you" Ddot reminded him.

"Igh well now she do" he gotten aggressive .

"You should invite her to the party tonight" dd suggested, ddot squinted his eyes at him.

"¿Por qué apoyas que le gusten otras chicas?" Ddot squinted his eyes saying to dd

"Ya slow ass do realize i can understand" Notti faced Ddot side eyeing him.

"I can't control what this nigga do so" dd just shrugged not even caring anymore, it was NOTTI life at the end of the day.

"As soon as we get to the crib I'm texting her come slide to tha party I ain't see her pretty ass Inna grip" Notti nodded, Ddot side eyed him not liking this AT ALL.

DEEPENING , the kiss kobe found his hands roaming Luna's body as they laid in her bed her hands meeting his dreads.

As Luna kissed him she caught herself thinking about how her and Notti KISSED , she realized she did that a lot whenever she kissed Kobe she found herself comparing him and Notti— not understanding why she hated it.

"You ah Virgin?" He asked Breaking apart from the kiss, Luna's eyes grew wide taken aback from the question she was just asked.

"Y-yea yea" she breathed , was he trying to have SEX with her because she most definitely wasn't ready.

"Are you?" She asked, slowly trying to escape from being under him, leaning against her headboard he began caressing her thigh.

"Hell nah baby" he laughed shaking his head no, she didn't even know why she asked that question she could already tell.

"Virgins lowkey be the best to fuck tho" he admitted bluntly, Luna side eyed him HEAVILY.

"Like taking control and showing you what to do and sh— oh okay" she muttered lowly twisting her hair around .

Notti never asked her this, sex Never even came up with them, their touch was enough.

"C'mere" he grabbed her arm softly pulling her closer to him— Luna honestly did not know what to do and at  this MOMENT she wanted ethan.

"Luna!" A deep voice that belonged to no one other than her father shouted.

"Thank god" She thought.

"Yo ya pops here?" He asked but she didn't even get to answer because her dad bursted  into her room  with no WARNING.

"Woah" Lucas mouthed his eyes grew wide at the site of his daughter in bed with a dreadhead, "that ain't Ethan" he pointed confused.

"Who Ethan?— nobody!" Luna assured him, Lucas was worried his daughter was CHEATING— he didn't now they were broken up.

"Who you?" Lucas crossed his arms asking.

"Kobe..." kobe squinted his eyes saying.

"Luna come here for a second" Lucas motioned for his daughter to follow him out the room, lowly apologizing to kobe she got out the bed .

"Hurry back" Kobe told

"She'll take however long i want her to take" Lucas instructed .

"Who is that child" Lucas asked as soon as she shut the door, walking into his room.

"My friend— you be laying up wit ya friends? This generation" he muttered.

"Why would you do that to Ethan? I thought you loved him" her dad gasped truly SHOCKED.

"We aren't together anymore daddy.." she announced, getting sad rethinking about the day.

"Y'all aren't?— no so me and Kobe are talking" she tells.

"Is Ethan okay with this?" Lucas asked, furrowing her eyebrows she stared confused.

"Why do u need his approval?"

"I don't know this is really hard for me" he rubbed his temples.

"I don't like him" he admits

"Kobe? You don't even know hi— exactly! And he doesn't greet himself to me, you remember the time when I walked in and Notti was in that strange position wit you? First thing he did wit his lil scary ass was say 'sorry sir it's not what you think....I'm Ethan' and ever since that day anytime he saw me he greeted first and called me mr.Lucas even tho he didn't have to." Lucas ranted— smiling she thought about that day MISSING how they were.

"Then he tell you hurry back, now I'm making yo ass stay in here for 30 minutes" he took his watch off sitting it on his dresser.

"He's not that bad tho daddy, he's a good guy" she assured leaning on her left foot.

"You gotta get to know hi— i can tell by me being a guy and me being a father that he's nothing like Ethan"

"Oh my god you're obsessed with ethannn" she groaned

"Ight, you can go back in there wit him" her dad nodded, he was gonna TEST something out.

"Just leave dat door open" he told, nodding she scurried out the room.

"Sorry, my dad was asking me stuff" Luna told leaving the door WIDE open like he ordered.

"Shut the door why you got it wide open?"  Kobe asked twisting his dread

"Cuz my dad told me— Luna come here!" Lucas called her name after peeking out the door.

"Oh my godddd what now daddy" She groaned walking back into his room.

"You love Ethan, you miss him you don't really wanna be with Kobe and you're using him as a distraction" he stated

"How did you gather that in like four seconds" she asked rubbing her temple, growing irritated at the point her dad was trying to make

"The day Notti came over I told you keep the door open, you thought you was slick and shut it even though Notti was scared...this time I tell you to do the same thing you leave it wider then ever and he tells you shut it you say no" Lucas explained.

Luna couldn't even DENY

"I know you better than anybody, i know my baby" he told her, Luna was too stubborn to admit her father was right.

"Can I please go back in my room" she asked lowly swaying with her arms crossed

"Go ahead" he ushered her back, sitting down on his bed satisfied that he FIGURED her out.

"Yo Luna you tryna slide to this party wimmie?" Kobe asked the girl standing up off of her bed, looking around as if he was about to leave.

"Uh yea sure...when?" She asked sitting on her bed

"Tonight, I gotta go home right now but I'll text you and come pick you up later" he explained walking towards her door.

"Alright...bye" She waved him off slightly glad he was leaving, grabbing her iPad she looked up seeing he was still standing there.

"Ion get ah kiss goodbye?" He laughed asking, Luna's cheeks grew a slight red chuckling.

"Sorry..." Luna chucked standing up walking over to the taller boy pecking his lips.

"I see you later" he kissed her once more before finally leaving out.

"THIS PARTY MAD DEEP" Ddots voice boomed as he, Notti, dd and Alexis entered— Notti had grabbed a hold of Alexis hand instantly after they walked in.

"That mean they might start airing this jawn out" dd told running his hands through his curls.

"You thirsty?" Notti muttered into the girls ear bending down a bit because he was taller than her.

"Yea can we see if they have water?" She asked already leading him to the kitchen, Notti looked around the party seeing a few recognizable faces and not knowing who the REST were.

"Who party even is this?" Alexis asked him as they entered the kitchen, grabbing a water bottle he handed it to her after examining it.

"Shii ion even know some shorty was posting to come slide on her story then mad other people was reposting" he explained as she sat on the ISLAND he walked in between her legs.

"So how you been?" She asked him smiling as she took a sip of her beverage .

"I been living, how yo ass been you left the hill and went ghost— bro! I swear I wasn't tryna abandon the hill my moms moved me out made us go all way down Coney Island on some dumb shit" she shook her head explaining

"But I'm staying wit my pops for right now" finishing off she eyed Notti who was staring at her, he was high so his SCLERA was a deep red as he licked his lips.

"So you back now?" He asked tilting his head asking.

"Mhm" nodding she looked over his shoulder at two people who walked into the kitchen.

"Kobe I'm not drinking that" the familiar voice COMPLAINED, Notti squinted his eyes not thinking he heard right.

"Lulu bro dump it out then nobody told you grab it" the deeper voice laughed.

"I ain't wanna seem corny for not drinking" she giggled walked to grab a water, not even looking back to realize she was standing in the SAME room as Ethan...it was LUNA

Notti looked at Luna her back still facing him but he KNEW just who it was based on the voice and her figure , he could spot her in a crowd of a billion people blindfolded .

"Lemme get sum" he watched as kobe took the bottle out of her hand drinking after her, smacking her teeth she hit him softly before turning around finally looking at the other two in the kitchen.

She FROZE , Luna and Notti instantly made eye contact the two both in deep HYPNOSIS at the sight of eachother.

"Notti you hear me? I said after the party do you wanna come over" she asked tapping his shoulder seeing her was in a trance.

"Come over? Yea yea" he nodded bringing his eyes back to ALEXIS— as hard as it was to bring his eyes off Luna he did it .

Luna on the other hand couldn't stop herself from looking at the boy, she was STUCK she wanted to just run to him and kiss him.

"We playing spin the bottle!" A loud voice called, finally knocking Luna out of the trance he has her in.

"You wanna play?" Kobe asked her, grabbing her hand he walked her out the kitchen passing Notti the two shoulders BRUSHED

"Uhm not really...i don't Wanna Kiss Just anybody" Luna muttered low to him, as he was already making their way to the circle.

"You'on gotta kiss them fr you can just go and say you did— why you want me to kiss another boy anyway ?" She furrowed her eyes asking.

"Tell me if they better then me" he smirked, which caused Luna to chuckle.

Walking towards the people Luna spotted dd and Ddot who as well SPOTTED her. 

"Is that megamindddd" Ddot called me walking towards her, a smile formed into her lips not even caring about the nickname .

"Here you go" she muttered lowly laughing .

"You bouta play?" He asked as dd came up to them as well.

"I guess" she shrugged, dd looked kobe up and down scanning him with his EYES.

"Relax" Ddot muttered to dd already knowing.

"Who's going first— matter fact coma inna circle damn fuck y'all never played before?" A unknown voice shouted standing on a chair.

"Come on, Go sit next to a girl cuz you can't sit near me" Kobe told her grabbing her hand pulling Luna away from the conversation with the two.

"His bitchass knew we wasn't done talking to her" dd turned to Ddot.

"Just chill Bro" Ddot laughed walking to the circle.

"Ladies first so who tryna go first?" A brownskin asked who was most likely the person who threw the party, grabbing a empty glass coke BOTTLE he placed it gently in the middle.

"I'll go" a girl who looked Asian shrugged , grabbing the bottle to go spin it.

"Ight we gone go ina circle then so after her it's you...then it's you" he pointed to Luna

Dammit.

Looking up she hadn't even realized Notti had join until she turned to the left of her to see the girl he was with SITTING right next to her.

As the bottle spinned all the boys was crossing they fingers some hopping it wouldn't land on them others hoping it DID.

Ddot was one of the people hoping it didn't, he knew the person he wanted to kiss wasn't even at the party.

"Come on" the girl smirked as it landed on the boy who's party it was, "shiiii say less" he rubbed his hands together standing up.

"Aye! 7 minutes tops" one of the friends told, shaking his head he nodded as they made their way into a bathroom.

"This is so childish" Luna muttered to herself laughing, "I know right! But then again it's kinda fun" a voice agreed making Luna look up.

It was Alexis

"You ever played before?" Alexis asked , Luna shook her head NO wanting to keep the conversation short. And Alexis could tell because she immediately left her alone.

After the first couple came back the other girl spun and it went like that until it was LUNA'S turn.

Luna gulped seeing it was now her time to spin the bottle, once she grabbed it she heard shifting come form the boys side and saw dd and Ddot STAND up, she gave them a small smile shaking her head.

"Fuck y'all standing for?" A boy asked

"Who is you talking to?" Ddot scrunched his face up.

"Do it matter why we standing?" Dd asked leaning on the wall going to grab his phone , Notti knew EXACTLY why they was standing.

"Yea cuz you supposed to play— we can't play this round nigga we got the next" Ddot assured him

"Continue on wit the fuckass game we not stopping shit" he ushered for Luna to spin, nodding she did as TOLD.

biting the inside of her cheek she began twisting her hair around her finger like usual, she lowkey didn't want it to land on anybody....even Kobe it would be awkward regardless but she didn't wanna back out and seem like a WEIRDO.

Notti on the other hand was praying it ain't land on a nigga that wasn't him, he even had his fingers crossed behind his back not realizing dd had peeped it— Notti wasn't comfortable with her going in the bathroom with a boy and he knew if it landed on someone that wasn't him he might've caused a SCENE.

looking over next to him  he stared at kobe who was licking his lips practically feening for the bottle to spin on him and he felt sick.

As it slowed down everyone watched intensely , it was not in between kobe and Notti , rocking back and forth deciding on who it wanted to land on, the curly headed Carmel skinned boy or the dreadheaded darkskin.

Which will it be.

"Can that shit stop spinning already damn!" A girl snapped which seemed to make it stop, and it landed right on NOTTI, Just by a inch.

"Oh, mierda" dd gasped saying to Ddot (oh, shit)

Two teens eyes  landed on one another, pleasure and afraid— was this TRULY happening.

"If y'all asses don't go" a boy snapped, causing both teens to stand up immediately.

Pulling his jeans up Notti didn't even make eye contact with Alexis, as he watched Luna who was infront of him walk towards the bathroom.

He was scared as fuck, not knowing what to do now that he finally was gonna be alone with his baby again.

SHUTTING the door behind them he locked it not thinking much of it, Luna turned to finally face him as he towered over her— her scent hitting his nose he didn't realize how much he missed it.

Both were afraid to start conversation.

"So" they both said before stopping

"You go first" Luna told him, which he did.

"We can sit here for the 7 minutes if that's what you wanna do" he told her, not wanting to PRESSURE a kiss on her.

"It- it doesn't matter, if you want to do the thingy we can" she avoided eye contact saying.

"The thingy? You mean kiss?" He laughed, he missed that— how she was afraid to say what things actually were and found them AWKWARD .

"Yea that...we can if you want" Luna played with her fingers staring at her shoes.

"You talking to me or the floor?" He asked shoving his hands in his pockets, "look at me don't be like that" his voice went soft—and so she DID.

"Whatchu wanna do lou?" His voice almost came out as a whisper how soft it was , as he tilted his head looking at her— that always made Luna fold ALWAYS

"We can kiss" she finally spoke , Notti was high key glad she said that .

"No awkward shit" he assured as as he walked a bit closer, "just do it like we always do" she shrugged.

"I ain't kiss you in a minute so I don't kno— okay but I'm sure you've kissed girls after we broke up" she dead faced him .

"On everything I love I haven't" he shook his head no saying, "not even that girl you came here wit— oh so you clocking who I be wit" he laughed.

"No! It's just ima saying...even her you didn't kiss?" She asked, Luna felt wrong for kissing KOBE after knowing Notti hasn't even touched a girl since.

"Mama I swear, ever since you I haven't even touched a girl...what I gotta lie for" he brushed his hair out his face.

"So this will be your first kiss since?" She asked him, he nodded already cupping her face with his hand bringing her body's close together.

Finally shutting up Luna closed her eyes, bringing her lips to his CONNECTING them— their mouths moved in sync at the familiar touch , the familiar taste, everything was so familiar and they both missed it— wrapping her arms around his neck Luna stood on her tippy toes deepening the KISS.

Her hands making their way into his hair Notti wrapped his arms around her TORSO, pushing her back against a wall, he was hungry for her and he knew those seven minutes would be up too soon.

He knew that once the kiss was over they'd go back to how they were...STRANGERS.

and he wasn't ready for that....but neither was she.

Hearing a knock on the door, both teens pulled apart, SADNESS filled they eyes.

"Here we come" Notti pulled apart from her waist, he watched as she bit her lip staring down at the ground her hands still around his neck.

"You gotta let go" he said in her ear.

"Oh right, I'm sorry" she chuckled removing her hands from him.

OPENING the door the two came in contact with dd and Ddot smirking at them, "y'all asses was in here for a extra 2 minutes we had force them niggas not to interrupt" dd told them as they walked out .

"We wasn't even doing shit" Notti shrugged, it was like once they walked out the bathroom they were strangers again.

"It's us...come on now" Ddot stared at both of them.

"And you got lipgloss on ya mouth quit lying pussy" dd pointed at his brothers face with smeared pink lip gloss on it before walking ahead of him.

"Oh shit" he said low wiping his off his mouth.

"Hmm" Luna grabbed his arm stopping him, licking her thumb she wiped it off.

"Aweeeee nunaaaa" Ddot dragged, the two side eyed them as they walked back to the group of people.

"He's a weirdo" Notti told her chuckling, she nodded in agreement laughing.
