How to reject a Luna

Chapter 4

*Sebastian POV*

I don't think I have ever checked the time so many times in my life. What do they say watched time moves slower? Well it is true today I can truly vouch for that. I walk out to the quad early. I see Tobias laying on the grass. Hands covering his eyes. I sit beside him.

"What the hell do you want?"

He snaps. I roll my eyes, sometimes I have no idea how this man is my best friend, more often than not he is about as pleasant as a punch in the face.

"If you don't talk about it, it's never going to get better"

"Seriously Sebastian just leave it, your positivity is killing me."

"You need some positivity"

"I don't need positivity I am fine, I just have a headache, I am going to head home"

"Take the car"

"No I will just run"

I watch him as he jumps up and takes off towards the trees. I shake my head and lay down on the grass and stare up into the sky. I feel bad for him. He had to take over as alpha super early after our dads died, on the same day my mate died. I sort of sunk into a hole after that. I couldn't deal. He had to take on everything. I pulled myself out of it and tried to help him but without a mate he is just not whole.

With the burden of everything he developed a surly personality that I don’t know how to rectify.

I look at the time. 12:25, I smile and sit up and look around. I see her walking out organizing something in her bag. She looks so gorgeous. I jog over to her, trying to look casual even though I want to her full speed and sweep her into my embrace.

"Hi Willow"

She looks up at me and smiles, grabbing my phone out of her bag and handing it to me. I shove it straight into my pocket, I care little about the phone but at this moment I am thankful to it as it gave me the best excuse to spend some time with this beauty.

"Don't you want to check it? There was about a million notifications come through"

I laugh.

“I like your exaggerations”

She looks at me, raising her well shaped eyebrows.

“That wasn’t even an exaggeration, I don’t think my phone has that much activity in a year”

"That is just boring work stuff, it can wait, for now my lady"

I grab her bag off her and sling it over my shoulder in a very heroic and exaggerated fashion and hold out my arm for her to take. She giggles and wraps her tiny hand around my arm. I continue.

"I owe you lunch"

I walk her towards the entrance gate.

*Willow POV*

"I owe you lunch”

My hands are around his arm. I can't wipe the smile off my face. I have only ever seen stuff like this in movies. He is such a sweetheart. He is soft and gentle yet oddly domineering and I just unconsciously follow him.

"Where are we going?"

"What do you feel like eating?"

"Umm do you like pizza?"

I look at him, a smile lighting up his face.

"Of course I like pizza, come on, I know the perfect place"

I can't help but hold his arm a bit tighter. I don't know why I just have this feeling of safety around him. I keep getting weird looks off people. Probably wondering why someone as plain as me is holding the arm of someone as stunning as Sebastian.

*Sebastian POV*

I think my face is going to hurt later with the amount of smiling I have been doing. I can't believe I have someone as beautiful as Willow on my arm. I just keep checking to make sure she is still there. Her little cute smile that shows her little dimples. Every time she speaks her sweet voice warms my heart. I breathe deeply smelling her shampoo and perfume. She smells amazing. I have never really thought about dating a human. I haven't really thought that much about dating at all since I lost Trina but this just feels right. I feel like she should be by my side like our fates are somehow intertwined. We get to the pizza shop and sit down and order. I say

"So what made you choose Sapphire College?"

"Well I am an orphan and this is where I got a scholarship"

I look at her. Her face doesn't really change much as she speaks.

"I am really sorry to hear that"

"It's fine, it happened 3 years ago"

"What happened?"

She looks at me. Searching me. She quietly whispers.

"It was a murder suicide"

I just about spat out my drink in her face.

"What? Are you serious?"

"Who would make up something like that? I usually say a car accident, but I don't know somehow I feel like I can trust you"

"You can trust me, sorry I just wasn't expecting that"

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything"

I grab her hand.

"No I am glad you did, like I said, not what I was expecting"

"How about your parents, no crazies like mine?"

"Well sort of, dad died 2 years ago and mum sort of lost the plot she doesn't really leave the house much"

"I am sorry to hear that"

I grip her hand tighter. She continues

"Well now all the gloomy stuff is out of the way, what are you studying?"

"Boring business, what about you?"

"Architecture and business"

The conversation flows so easily between us. She suddenly grabs my arm and looks at my watch.

"s**t I have to get to class"

I laugh, it sounds so funny having a curse word come out of her sweet little mouth, after naughty stuff I was nearly expecting an ‘ohh bother’. I take her back to school.

"When can I see you again?"

Her green eyes open wide in surprise.

"You want to see me again?"

"Of course I do"

"I am not sure, I don't really have anything planned"

"Are you going to the freshman party?"

"I didn't know I was invited"

"All freshmen are invited"

"I don't have anyone to go with, I haven't really made any friends here yet"

"I am going, you can hang out with me"

"You are not a freshman"

"But I am going anyway"

"Okay I will go, just as long as you don't leave me standing there like a loner"

"I won't, I promise"

I grab her hand and kiss it, before watching her rush off to class and I head off for the day. I have way too much pack work to get done to worry about school today. I get home and knock on Tobias' door.

"Go away Sebastian I don't don't to talk about it, go do some work, I have sent you 50 emails that you haven't bothered checking"

"No worries sir grumpy ass"

"Shut it and leave me alone"
