After handing the phone, Luna stepped out and left and Jones to have a private chat.
"Where are you?" Jones cut straight to the chase, "Let’s et up."
"I’m at Luna’s place. It might not be a good ti right now. How about tomorrow or the day after?" I didn’t refuse Jones. After all, he’d finally cooled off, which was a big help to . I couldn’t just cut him
off.
"Okay. Please send the address. I’ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon. Are Serena and Brandon there?" Jones asked about the kids.
"Yes." I answered simply.
Jones paused. He said nothing more and hung up.
I called Luna back in. Her surprise was palpable. "Seriously? You guys settled your complicated issue in just a couple of minutes? Are you communicating telepathically or sothing?"
"We’ll talk more when we et tomorrow. I owe it to the effort you put into my makeup." I gestured to the exaggerated fake eyelashes on my face. "Are you sure about this length? I’m afraid I might look like I’m fanning people every ti I blink."
Luna took a serious look and nodded, "It looks good. We’re going for a glamorous nightclub vibe."
I was speechless, allowing Luna to continue applying her solid makeup skills on my face. It was almost eleven when we finished dolling up and changing into our outfits. Luna flicked her hair casually and
said, "Perfect timing. Let’s get going!"
Looking at my heavily made-up reflection in the mirror, I had to admit that the style was indeed stunning. I rarely tried such a look, so it felt refreshing.
My doctor had advised to take care of my emotions. Using that as an excuse, I agreed to go out and have so fun with Luna.
Before leaving, we checked on the kids who were already fast asleep.
"Let’s call a cab!" Luna only rembered that we’d had a few drinks and shouldn’t drive. She whipped out her phone to book a ride while I shivered slightly in the cool evening breeze. My fluffy white tube top was seasonally ambiguous and only kept warm around the chest, while the rest of looked almost primitive.
The ultra-mini skirt was even more outrageous, but it perfectly showcased my long legs. I didn’t know where Luna found these over-the-top outfits.
Luna wasn’t much better off, goosebumps visible on her arms, but she kept her
composure.
Once the cab arrived, we headed straight to Cielo Nocturno. Luna seed familiar with the place. She might had frequently visited during her stay in the city.
"What’s your preference these days? Cute boys or bad boys?" Luna asked thoughtfully.
"I’m just here to have a drink and listen to so music. You can do whatever you want." I was not here to find a man, but rather to zone out in a lively atmosphere.
Luna wouldn’t have it. She was about to give a pep talk when her phone lit up. After a glance at the caller ID, she looked at and said, "It’s Clara."
She took the call.
Three minutes later, she hung up looking bewildered. "She’s coming. And she asked why we didn’t invite her."
"What?" I was shocked.
Was Clara in the mood for a drink? She seed very down this afternoon at Luna’s and barely had spoken.
"Let her co. The more the rrier. It’ll help her forget Sean." Luna quickly cheered up, "It’s good that she’s doing this!"
Clara arrived in no ti. She seed agitated. She grabbed a drink from our table as soon as she arrived.
"What’s up? Thirsty?" I asked.
After downing two drinks, Clara finally sat down. She took a deep breath a ca to see again."
"What?" Luna and I were taken aback. Wasn’t he abroad? He’s back?
Sean was of mixed blood. It was normal for him to visit here and there between
countries that he called ho.
"I will not be shattered by him. I’m going to hang out with at least half a dozen tonight. I don’t believe half a dozen of them can’t make forget one!" Clara decla perhaps due to the alcohol.
Even Luna couldn’t take it, "Two is enough. You can’t handle half a dozen."
AlClara looked at Luna as if she were crazy, "Talk, not sex." exhaled and relieved. She’d given a scare.
With our objectives aligned, Luna ordered a few drinks and invited so good-looking guys to join us.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared before us, casting a gloomy aura. I looked up to see Sean’s forbidding face.
He was staring at Clara, who was holding hands with one of the guys. His eyes were sharp as knives.
"How did he get here?" Luna pointed at Sean. Her tone was full of disdain.
"I don’t know." Clara shook her head. But she seed unafraid, as she didn’t let go of the guy’s hand.
Sean ignored Luna and , swiftly pulling Clara’s hand away from the guy’s.
Clara jerked away from Sean, "What the hell?"
"Co ho with ." Sean’s voice was cold and commanding. Without waiting for Clara’s refusal, he
hoisted her up and marched off, leaving Luna and standing there like statues.
Luna was furious. She turned to the guys and declared, "Whoever brings my friend back gets a grand!"
Upon hearing this, the guys rushed after Luna. I was left standing, dazed for a mont before getting up to join them.
No sooner had my rear left the seat when the dazzling lights and festive colors around seed to dim a fraction, as if shrouded by so form of dark cloud. Casting a slight upward glance, there was
Damon, standing in front of like a specter, with a face stormier than Sean’s. "Having fun with all these pretty boys?" he sneered.
I was baffled. Had Damon seen with Luna and the others all this while?
Before I could even respond to Damon, the figure of Jones.
