228 Only Her, Only Him (2/2)

”Uncle?” Luna asked in a bewildered tone.

”Mm-hm!” Raven nodded, resting his chin on her shoulders. ”It's not Father-in-law yet but hey, that's progress already.” He laughed as he playfully pinched Luna's belly.

The girl squirmed, feeling ticklish as he did that. Her face was too red now, but she had to admit that this is pleasant. If someone came and said they could stop time, she will be willing to stay at this moment for a long time.

Luna felt Raven's lips on her cheeks. She almost squealed at that point but managed to keep it in. She lovingly slapped Raven's arm.

”Hey! So much for taking liberties!” Raven could only chuckle at her antics.

”I missed you.” Raven hugged her even tighter, burying his face on her neck. ”Let's stay like this for a while. I haven't been with you for a week, I need my fill.”

'He's being so clingy! This is bad! Bad for my heart!' Luna screamed inwardly. Struggling hard to keep her composure in his embrace.

Eventually, Luna could only sigh and surrender. She had no idea why she's being jittery from Raven's advances. It's not like she had no idea that he could be this way and it's not like she hated it. In fact, she loved this feeling and didn't want it to end.

Maybe it's due to the fact that she's inexperienced in this category. All she knew before Raven's arrival in her life was suffering and disappointment. As a Princess, she was treated like some sort of a treasure. Everyone was respectful yet distant.

His arrival changed many things. She was exposed to a lot of things that she will never see or experience without him. He was her Savior, he freed her from suffering and brought color to her life. She wanted to express just how much she was thankful for him but she didn't expect to develop feelings for him.

At first she denied this, but the way how he treated her and looked at her gave it away. He never compromised when it came to her, and before she knew it, she was already looking at him the same way.

Luna knows that from that point onwards, there was no looking back. Her eyes are now fixed on him and only him. She already decided to stand beside him for the rest of her life whether he liked it or not.

This is an unexplored category in her life. One that she's willing to experience beside him.

None of them said a thing, nor that they needed to in the first place. They just enjoyed the comfortable silences surrounding them along with the warmth of each other's arms and the gentle breeze of the wind that brought peace and comfort to the both of them.

Raven lifted his head and spun Luna around to look directly onto her eyes. The girl felt her heart speeding up and her face heating up under his gaze but she didn't look away. She found her self lost in his beautiful eyes.

”Be my girlfriend, please?”

Luna struggled so hard to prevent herself from fainting right then and there. She dreamt about him asking or saying these words at least dozens of times but that wasn't alone to prepare her for the real deal. She knew that there will come a day that he's going to ask this question to her but she wasn't expecting it to be today.

Luna bit her lips and nodded, her vision turning a bit blurry from tears forming at the corner of her eyes. She had no idea why she was feeling so emotional but something inside of her says that she had been waiting for him to ask those words for a very long time.

”Don't just nod.” Raven frowned, ”I want to hear you say it.”

Luna pouted but relented in the end. She wrapped her arms around his neck as a loving smile formed on her lips.

”Yes. I'll be your girlfriend.” Luna chuckled, ”Your my boyfriend from now on. Happy?”

Raven grinned widely and nodded, he kissed Luna's forehead and replied. ”Very. Very happy.”

The two stared at each other for a while, that's until Raven lowered his head and claimed Luna's lips.

Raven pulled her closer to him while Luna tightened her arms around his neck, pulling him closer as well. The two shared an amateurish but passionate kiss, expressing what they felt for each other using body language.

The two broke from the kiss and felt slightly awkward, Luna melted on his embrace while inwardly squealing. Raven smiled from the bottom of his heart and thanked his lucky stars that he was given a much needed second chance.

This time, no one will be able to take her away from him.
