FATED TO BE YOUR LUNA

Chapter Two

Clair

“Mmmmm” I moaned as he held my waist tighter increasing the intensity of the kiss. I could feel his hot breath on my neck and things were getting more intense. All I wanted at that moment was to lose myself to him completely.

“You taste so good, mysterious man,” I said as he raised me above the ground and carried me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and I could feel him getting hard.

“I want more! Take me, please. I…”

“Clair! Clair! Clairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

“Aah! Who’s that?” I screamed as I jolted awake

“Clair? were you having a w*t dream? I heard Karly saying.

I cleaned my eyes to be more sober and then it hit me, I was having a w*t dream with the mysterious hot man who saved me the previous day. Did I just call him hot? Oh, f**k my life.

“I’m still waiting in case you forgot, now start talking,” Karly said, folding her hands against her chest, waiting for me to say something.

“Karly, how long have you been standing here?” I asked while placing a pillow to support my back as I sat up.

“Long enough…” she replied with a mischievous look on her face.

“Did you…?” I asked wide-mouthed

“Yes, so… who is this mysterious man you have been s*x dreaming about? Clair asked as she sat beside me looking straight at me eagerly like a child waiting to be told a story.

“It’s wasn’t a w*t dream. I was just… you know, eh…” I said, scratching my head.

“I don’t understand what you're trying to say, Clair.” She said

“I think I should start from yesterday…” I replied

“So, something happened yesterday? Start spilling right now!” She declared becoming even more enthusiastic than before.

“Ok, ok, calm down, I will tell you everything,” I said, then I told her everything that happened the previous day.

“O…m…g! You mean you almost got taken away by a pervert?” She exclaimed.

“Reduce your voice, do you want to draw our neighbour’s attention?” I asked almost in a whisper.

“I can’t, not after everything you just told me.” She said looking as stubborn as ever.

“Oh gosh,” I said, facepalming “now I regret telling you,” I added.

“Watch your mouth young lady, I am your best friend! We tell each other everything.” She said with a frown that disappeared as quickly as it came.

“I’m so sorry about yesterday Clair…” she said with an apologetic look.

“It wasn’t your fault, why are you apologising?” I asked

“No, not about the pervert. I’m sorry for getting angry at you for not calling me, if I knew all this happened I wouldn’t have scolded you.”

“Exactly like you said, you didn’t know so shut up and come hug me. I need my bestie’s hug right now,” I said with open arms as Karly drew closer to me and we hugged.

“So… about the mysterious man…” she said looking at me for my reaction. Karly is the only person who can read me like an open book just by looking at my expressions and I hate it sometimes especially when I try to hide my sadness from her because I don’t want her to get worried but she always finds out no matter what.

“What about him?” I asked, avoiding her gaze

“Don’t play dumb with me, I know that you have been thinking about him non-stop and you hope to meet him again.” She said as if she was living inside my mind.

“Why do you have to know everything? I hate you.” I said playfully.

“Because I have to know everything about my best friend and I love you too,” she said with a smug look

“Remind me why I’m still friends with you,” I said playfully

“Because I'm your favourite person duh,” she said and we both laughed.

“Okay, now spill”

“You won't leave me alone until I tell you, will you?

“You guessed it right! So spill,” she repeated, again.

“I don't know why I feel this strange attraction towards him, I feel my body getting tense and excited when he’s close to me.

“But you’ve only met him once or have you seen him anywhere before and you couldn’t remember? Karly asked.

“No, of course, trust me I wouldn’t forget someone that hot if I had seen him before. I said remembering the dream I had some minutes ago.

“That's true, according to your description I can tell that he’s a va-va-voom knockout even without seeing him,” Karly said with a teasing smile on her face.

“What’s with that look? I asked

“Nothing,” she said giggling

“Whatever,” I replied.

“Okay back to hot stuff. So the hot mysterious stranger makes you feel things you haven’t felt for any guy before, that means there is something special about him. He could be your soulmate sis!” She blurted out with excitement written all over her face.

“Whoa! Whoa, I just met him yesterday and you’re already taking him as my soulmate? And why do you seem more excited than I am?” I asked.

“Think about it Clair, you haven’t dated any guy before even though guys swoon over you, you ignored all their advances. Why? Because you didn’t feel anything for them and all of a sudden this hot mysterious man came along and you almost peed your pants just by standing close to him. If that is not enough sign to tell you that he is someone special then I don’t know what else will convince you.” She uttered trying to convince me.

“I didn’t say I almost peed my pants! How would you know he is my soulmate? Are you a fortune teller or a matchmaker?” I asked, looking at her curiously.

“This is not about fortune telling or matchmaking, this is reality, Clair!” She replied.

“Whatever Karly, I don’t have time for your imagination. I’m hungry, I’m going to make breakfast, do you want anything?” I asked, standing up from the bed and heading to the kitchen.

“You are just in denial, I will eat whatever you make.” She replied.

“I’m not in denial, I just don’t believe in fate, soulmate, or superstitions. I said while preparing the ingredients to make breakfast. ‘Could she be right, is there something special about this man?’ I thought. A myriad of thoughts and unanswered questions were hovering in my mind.

A few minutes later I was done making breakfast. We sat and ate, and after we finished eating, we started discussing.

“Clair, you haven’t told me why you were rejected again even after all the efforts you put in,” Karly said with a serious and worried expression.

“Honestly, I don’t know the reason why I was rejected. The only thing the interviewer said was ‘You are not qualified’.” I explained.

“You didn’t ask her why you were unqualified?” Karly asked curiously.

“I did, but she didn’t tell me the cause. Isn’t that strange and unreasonable? How would you reject a person without any specific justification.” I said, slightly upset.

“She’s a b*tch for rejecting a smart a** like you,” Karly said with slight anger.

“Easy there raging bull,” I said playfully and we both chuckled.

“Karly…” I called

“I know you are worried when you call my name like that. I know what you are worried about, you are worried about the house rent right?”

“Yes, I am worried about the rent. I couldn’t get the job and the rent is almost due, how are we going to afford it?” I asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry about the rent, we still have four more days, I will figure something out before then. The only thing you need now is to stop worrying and have some fun.” She said with a reassuring smile.

“WE will figure something out. Now elaborate more on the fun.” I said.

“Okay! There’s this club called P-rocky and I’ve heard a lot of hype about the club. Some said it is the best club in town presently and it is always crammed especially on Fridays. That’s where we are going tonight! Yippee!” She said, screaming excitedly like a child.

“By your description, I don’t think the club is easy to access. How are we going to get in? I asked, staring at her curiously.

“Don’t worry sweetheart, I have my ways. All we have to do is to get dressed and head to the club by 8 pm, leave the rest to me.

And by the way, I went shopping and got us some clothes yesterday. I waited for you so we could go together but…”

“Let me guess, the main reason for your anger yesterday was because you went shopping alone, right?” I asked before she could finish talking.

“Well yeah… but I wasn’t that angry, I was just faking it. She said giggling.

“I knew it!” I said and we both giggled.

“But wait, where did you get the money to go shopping?” I asked.

“I bought just two clothes for both of us at a discount so it wasn’t expensive. She replied.

“If you say so. Now let’s go do some cleanings” I said and we both stood up taking up different tasks.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Karly and I spent our day cleaning, making lunch, and binge-watching our favourite movies. We fell asleep after watching tons of movies, and we woke up after a few hours of sleeping.

“Come on Clair get your a** over here, it’s time to party!” She said, smiling and wiggling her a**.

“What are you doing?” I said, laughing.

“It’s called party mood. Come try out this, I’m sure you’ll look hot in that.” She said, “Too hot to handle” she whispered teasingly.

“I know! Going to the docs later about it. I winked and we both started laughing hysterically.

After 30 minutes, the time was already 7:25 pm and we were dressed and ready to go. I wore a pair of tight leather jeans with a crop top while Karly wore a mini skirt and also a crop top.

“We look irresistible. Let’s go, sis, it’s time to turn heads and have some fun.” She said, confidently.

“Yes! Let’s turn heads!” I said as we high-fived and walked out of the apartment and got a cab to our destination.

When the cab pulled up at the address, I could now understand why the club was called P-rocky. The place was booming with people. There was a long queue of people outside the club entrance waiting to get In. We got down and Karly gestured for me to follow her and I did, we walked straight to the entrance and Karly showed the security man a card and he instantly allowed us in. The club was filled with people and it looked spectacular, it deserved all the hype.

“How did you do that?” I asked in amazement.

“Don’t worry I will tell you everything when we get home.” She replied.

As soon as we entered, a lot of people were staring at us. The girls, most were staring with jealousy while some were with admiration. The guys were ogling at us, we held our shoulders up and walked straight to the bar and sat. We requested drinks and we drank, chatting away and laughing. A bunch of guys came to us one after the other to buy us drinks but we refused.

“I think we should hit the dance floor,” I said to Karly suggestively.

“OK, but first I need to use the restroom. Wait for me, when I’m back we will dance together.” She said and I nodded in agreement.

After Karly left, I sat alone gulping down my drink peacefully and waiting for her to return.

“Hi,” a voice said behind me, and instantly my body became tense for the second time in two days. I recognized the voice immediately, It was HIM!
