I drop my hand. Luna wanted a cat because they purr. I sigh. I should have gotten a fucking dog.
A knock on the door has me pause mid-scoop of kitty kibble. I told Henry not to let anyone up. Rubbing my hands on my sweats, I look out the peephole finding it blocked by a hand. Someone is here to avenge my father.
Shit. Stepping back, I open the bottom drawer of the wet bar and pull out my Glock.
“Who is it?” I bark, but nobody answers. Having my gun ready in my left hand, I jerk the door open and find Luna standing there, soaking wet.
Slowly lifting her head, she pulls back the hood of her hoodie and looks me in the eye.
“I miss you.” She heaves out a breath. Lowering my gun, my brows narrow. I’ve missed her too.
“I thought maybe I settled for the first man that walked in my life and that wasn’t fair to either of us but the fact is… I love you, Romeo. You’re all I think about,” she confesses, tears filling her eyes.
I grab her by the chest of her hoodie and pull her to me, our lips crashing. The contact like a jolt of electricity she brings a certain type of light into my soul. Kicking the door shut, I drop the gun on the counter and undress her as we walk to my bedroom. Our lips never leaving each other. Her skin against mine making my body fill with warmth like the days she lived here.
“Luna, if you come in this room with me, you’re my girl,” I tell her.
She nods frantically, her arm wrapping behind me and settling on the top of my head.
“I won’t let you go again,” I threaten, and I mean it. I can’t lose her again, I can’t feel like I did minutes ago by myself.
That hollow cold feeling eating me from the inside out. Is that what love feels like when your hearts broken? I don’t know, but I never want to feel it again. I’d rather be shot in the head than feel that.
“Yes, Romeo. I’m your sunflower.” She breathes heavily, and I throw her on the bed.
Just as I’m about to make love to my girl, the fucking cat starts swiping its paws at my fucking feet. I give it a light kick, trying to make it go away, but it just jumps on the bed.
Luna’s head turns and her eyes light up.
“Awww!” And just like that, the cat goes to her, purring like they’ve been BFFs all their lives.The Beautiful End
