His Scarlet Queen Luna
Chapter 9

” I mean… what do I mean again?? oh right what I mean to say is that I am truly sorry please tell me what I can do for you to forgive me..,” I said and immediately regretted it. Why do I always make such promises? I saw him smile

” Go on a date with me..” he said and my heart skipped a beat. Did he just ask me on a date?? Me! as in me Scarlet Reyes going on a date with him Zane Black the bad boy of Baja and also my best friend’s boyfriend?? impossible! I’m probably too hungry I’m hearing things.

“What..” I asked wide-eyed. He got up from the ground leaving me.

“Wait..” I said and he stopped. I slowly got up from my seat rubbing my butt a little then slowly walking towards him afraid I might fall if I walked too fast.

“Okay..” I said. It’s just a date nothing could go wrong right!? It would be just like a couple of friends eating food right.??

He turned around and faced me, ” are you sure..?” I nodded my head. it’s not like we were going to k**s or anything he is my best Friend’s boyfriend. wait! did I just agree to go on a date with my best friend’s boyfriend? oh no…

He notices my change in facial expression then said, “it’s okay if you don’t want to I understand plus it won’t even matter whether I forgive you or not anyway..” he started walking again this time faster.

“Zane wait..” I called. I tried to run towards him but I felt light-headed due to hunger and before I could fall down strong arms wrapped around me and judging by the sparks it was Zane.

“Thanks..” I said shyly he nodded his head and lifted me up bridal style to which I squeaked.

“What are you doing put me down..” I said

” No can’t do kitten you are weak..” he said going over to his car which was still parked in the parking lot.

“Hey, I’m not weak you know. I am very much strong I have muscles even larger than yours…” I said showing off my tiny muscle. He just laughed

“Babe you are so skinny..” he said laughing and I glared at him angrily

” I am not skinny I am fat..” one look from him had me rethinking. Who was I kidding I was extremely small and skinny compared to him. I could easily pass off as a thirteen-year-old!

He sat me down on the passenger seat then went over to the other side. After he sat down he looked at me.

“So do you still agree to the date or not.?” he asked.

“But you are my best friend’s boyfriend..”

“Is it a yes or a no I want a specific answer, Scarlet…?” I sighed

“fine it’s a yes..”

“Great..” He gave me the loveliest smile on the planet. This was the first time I have seen him smile and it’s the best thing ever. I gave a smile of my own then he drove of to God knows where. After driving for ten minutes he pulled up at McDonald’s.

“We are having our date now??” I asked

“Yeah are you having second thoughts..?” he asked and I shook my head

“No, it’s just that I haven’t gotten ready..” I looked at my clothes which were a bit dirty due to sitting on the ground for so long

“Okay then we will have our date this Saturday hmm..” he asked looking at me and I nodded

“Great..” he opened his car door walking over to open mine

“Hey, I thought you were going to drop me off at home..?” I asked him.

” Yeah. but I know you haven’t eaten anything since morning so I might as well buy you something..” he smiled and I blushed.

” I could have eaten at home too you know..” I said in a small voice which he chuckled

” I know..” he said, ” but I still want to get you food..” I got out of the car and followed him into the eatery. We sat opposite each other on one of the window booths. It was already dark outside.

” Hey welcome to McDonald’s can I take your order…” A brunette waitress said looking at Zane seductively I wanted to snap at her for eyeing my date like that. Wait why am I even getting like this.

“Sure uh what would you like Princess.?” Zane asked me and I smirked internally at the site of the brunette’s glare

“I will have a small burger with French fries-please and a large milkshake..” I smiled fakely at her.

” Me too..” Zane said and the waitress left. After our food came I began eating like there was no tomorrow. I was almost done with my burger in only a matter of minutes when I looked at Zane who was looking at me amusingly barely touching his food.

” What,? is there something on my face,?” I asked trying to wipe off. He nodded his head and I just wanted to hide my face in embarrassment dang it did this really have to happen now!!

I took one of the napkins on the table but before I could wipe my face Zane held my hand and with his other Hand’s thumb he wiped off the milkshake mustache I had on my face. While our eyes locked

“Thanks..” I said breaking eye contact. Now my cheeks were tinted red I was so embarrassed I even lost my appetite.

” Go on eat..” he said and I smiled nodding. This time I made sure I ate carefully not to spill the milkshake on me or earn myself another milkshake mustache. I heard him chuckling and I looked at him

“What..?” I asked

‘” Nothing it’s just that now you are eating like in a five-star restaurant that has white tablecloths where you are afraid you might stain them..” he laughed and I became even more embarrassed.

“Please stop..” I said. Gosh if I Continue like this I’m pretty sure my face will become permanently red like Halloween macabre’

” Look baby girl feel free to do whatever you want I promise I won’t bite or be angry. I don’t want to sit with a fake person but I want to know the real you..” he said and I felt a warm feeling in my chest

“Loosen up okay you won’t enjoy this if you are being reserved..” he said and I nodded. We made small talk and soon we were done with our food, He paid the bill and we went over to the car. After getting in I took out my phone from my bag

7 30pm

With fifteen missed call notifications ten messages and five-voice notes

‘Crap’ I muttered to myself

“What’s wrong?” Zane asked me. I did say instead I just showed him my phone he looked at it and said, “your mother surely cares a lot about you.” he chuckled. ” I guess it’s time to take you home..”

He drove the car as I began to check the messages

“Where are you.?” mom

” Have you apologized yet.?” Val

” Hey, girl you didn’t come back to class are you okay..” Jenna.

Seeing the text I felt guilty. But brushed it off I didn’t do anything wrong!

” Scar are you sick again you never came back for lunch..” Skylar

“Pick up your phone, dang it, I’m worried..” mom

I sighed. He pulled up in my driveway way and I was hesitant to go inside the house. Mom must be super angry

“Don’t worry you will be fine..” Zane squeezed my hand and I smiled at him then the front door opened revealing a pissed-off but worried-looking mother and a smiley Val. I took a deep breath then got out of the car

” Him…mom..?” stuttered

“where were you young lady and who is that..?” she asked arms crossed

” He uh he is m…..my friend z..z…Zane..” I said and gulped

” Friend huh?? how come I don’t know him..?” She asked

” That’s b..be…cau..se we uh recently started hanging out..” I said

” Oh okay..” she unfolded her hands then went over to the car where Zane was. He said he won’t leave till I was safely inside the house. As soon as he saw my mom he got out of the car

I stood there with Val waiting for the drama to unfold I had no idea what mom was going to say. It’s like I had brought a guy home and was eagerly waiting for mom to approve him

‘” What happened between you two.?” Val asked

” Shhh I will tell you later right now let’s watch,” I said silencing him

” Good evening miss Reyes..” Zane said with a charming smile

“Good even uh…….”

” Zane Zane Michael Black ma’am,” he said it with so much respect I awed at him. Mom looked him over up and down for like ten minutes well it wasn’t really ten probably three. she nodded her head turned around and smiled

” I like him..” she said and I smiled squeaking and jumping internally

” come to Zane let me get you some dinner..” she said dragging the poor boy into the house while I and Val sidestepped to let them through

” Sorry ma’am but I and Scarlet already ate……”

” ah don’t be silly and don’t call me ma’am it makes me feel weird. Since….” she bends down to whisper something in his ear which had him widen his eyes.

” How did you—–” she didn’t let him finished and just winked.

” What’s going on..?” Val asked me and I just looked at the two wide-eyed…
