LUNA’S POV.
I stood outside thepound pacing to and fro while awaiting Gray’s presence.
My mind and body weren’t at peace , and I could tell I would copse at any moment if Gray didn’t show up .
To be precise, Gray’s job scares me a lot . It’s way too dangerous and risky .
I know most times he neveres back being defeated, but who can tell what the future holds . Maybe one day he might not at all .
I had to lean on the wall for support , as my trembling hands gripped my phone tighter .
And just in time, my phone rang . I checked the caller , seeing it was Gray it felt like a big rock had been lifted from my heart .
I heaved deeply and picked up the call .
” Luna , you okay ? ” Gray asked .
From his voice , he was really panting loud enough for me to hear .
” Gray what’s the matter, are you okay over there ? ” I asked him and wondering why he was finding it hard to breathe normal.
” Did you run or something? ” I asked again , and for a few minutes, he didn’t give me any reply .
I guess he’s trying to catch his breath right now .
” Am home Gray, and I’m fine . I should be the one worried about you right now , what is going on over there ? What about Collins, is he okay ? ” I kept on throwing multiple questions at him , forgetting he was still trying to catch his breath.
When I still didn’t get any reply , I turned around and ran back inside , heading to Gray’s room to get a car key .
” Hold on Gray, I’ll be there to get you . Just tell me where you are right now ” I said , but he stopped me .
” Luna , I’m fine . I just thought something bad Happened to you that’s all , in be home soon okay ” I heard his voicest , before the call ended .
I sighed and stopped walking, my eyes refusing to even blink .
” Danger ? Me ? How ? ” I asked myself and hurried back outside to await his return .
Gray needs to start exining so many things to me when he gets back .
Tired , I made sure to clean up the tiled floor properly and sat down hoping he would be back even before I fall asleep here .
GRAY’S POV
” Thank goodness” I said heaving deeply.
I turned around to leave , but spotted Collins behind me .
” Is she alright? ” Collins asked me , he was also panting so fast as a result of running after me .
I was so lost in thoughts and fear , that I even failed to recognize that he was actually following behind me .
” You got any car close by ” I asked Collins, still tired from all the running
” Yeah , I think , but it’s parked a bit far from here , but close to the warehouse”
Together, and tiredly we walked towards the warehouse.

” Sleep over tonight, it’s gettingte and after all this , you must be tired ” I told Collins after we got to my house .
He looked at me , and nodded and when he parked the car , we both got out .
We were walking together , when I sighted Luna asleep on the cold tiled floor.
She wasn’t even covered . I ran towards her and bent down to stare at her face properly.
When Collins came closer , I waved my hands for him to head in first and he did .
I smiled, and carefully took her in my arms , lifting her up properly in a bridal style
” You shouldn’t have waited baby ” I whispered even though I knew she couldn’t hear me . She must have been really worried.
Still with Luna in my arms , I climbed the stairs and headed to my room , and when I got there , I dropped her carefully on the bed covering her up properly.
As I got down from the bed , I took off my clothes tieing a white towel and was about to go take a quick bath when I heard her voice .
” Gray , you’re back ” Luna said , as she rushed towards me pulling me into a tight hug .
” Why wait for me outside thatte , you could have gone to bed instead” I asked holding her waist as she was still hugging me .
” I was so worried about you ” Luna replied .
Just when I thought she was being the sweetest , she suddenly changed her voice
” And Mr , you have so much exnations to do when you’re done taking your bath , and don’t you dare leave anything untouched ” She said . I blinked my eyes countless times staring at her
And then I scratched my hair biting my lower lips .
Luna always understands me , she chuckled and shyly looked away .
” Not today Gray, aren’t you even tired cause I am . ? ” She asked . I slowly walked away and headed towards the bathroom .
” You still have to exin everything to me , yunno right ” She yelled as I walked into the bathroom.
“Go to sleep Luna , aren’t you tired anymore? ” I replied trying to use her words against her .
She trieding after me , but luckily I was able to lock the door before she could get to me .
I brought out my tongue in a yful manner and smirked at her while controlling myughter .
LUNA’S POV
As I sat on the bed waiting for Gray to wake up , I lifted my head up staring at the ceiling.
And when he finally slowly opened his eyes , he gave me a confused look .
” Luna , is anything the matter ” He asked holding my hands .
He sat up and came closer to me , ” why the dull face this early? Is there something you need ? ” Gray asked
” Promise me one thing Gray, just one thing ” I asked
” One thing? Of course Luna , I’ll do anything”
” Today’s gonna be for only me , I mean I do understand that you also have work to take care of , but shouldn’t you also find time to be with me ? ”
He looked at me and wanted tough , but he didn’t.
” Sure thing Luna , no problem” . I stared at him , suprised he just agreed to it without even giving a second thought about it .
” Come on , let’s go have breakfast and continue your training. The earlier , the better ” He said and stood up from the bed , stretching his hand towards me in order for me to ce mine on his
” Gray , don’t you think you’re forgetting something,, ” I asked and when he looked at me suprised , I folded my two hands across my breast .
” Morning kiss ” I said again .
He smiled and leaned forward , cing a soft kiss on my lips .

” Alright Luna , that’s perfect . I’ll go get the punching bag ready ” Gray said to me .
I took off my sses, dropped the gun on the table close to me , and stared at the circr wooden figure I had just shot at .
I wasn’t even perfect with the gun yet , but at least , I’m not that bad .
Gray came back , holding two cans of energy drinks with him .
” Here ” He said handing one over to me after opening it up .
I collected it , and instantly gulped more than half of it’s content . After a while I felt my drained energy all returning back to me .
I took a seat beside Gray, resting on his broad shoulders. He rubbed my hair a little and smiled , while I reciprocated.
” Gray ” I called in a very calm voice .
” I miss my father ” . I said , and while sipping from his drink , he looked at me but didn’t say anything.
” You wanna meet him ? ” Gray asked and I nodded .
” So badly ” I replied.
He was about saying something else to me , when a young maid walked in , her head facing the floor as she stood at our front
” Sir ” She called trembling a little bit . When I noticed I decided to ask her what the problem was .
” Someone’s here to see you ” She said , Making Gray and I look at each other
” And she says to tell you that’s it’s important” The maid continued
” A she ? ” I asked , giving Gray a questioning look . He looked back at me just the same way I was confused
” Did she tell you her name? ” I asked the maid , trying not to make it obvious that I was feeling ufortable.
Gray held my hand and together we stood up .
” Alright , lead the way ” He said to the maid, but she didn’t move yet .
” Also , she wanted me to inform you that it’s better youe alone ” The maid replied again making he go mad with anger .
Gray looked at me , as if silently telling me to calm down .N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
