His Young Luna

Chapter Three

Odessas POV

As soon as I reached my other table the man was belligerent. I could barely make out his words because of how drunk he was. How was he that drunk off of one glass of wine? "Sir I'm sorry I can't und..." I started to say before he threw his entire wine glass at me. I put my arms up to my face to brace for the impact of the glass hitting me but it never came. I did hear the glass break but it wasn't on me. I lifted my head to see that birthday man. He had his arms encircled around me holding me to his chest.

'Why did I feel so safe in his arms and why was he so freaking warm' I wondered to myself. I looked up further and saw his face looking at me. He looked so concerned when he didn't even know me. When I looked at his eyes I thought I saw black but he closed his eyes and when they opened they were blue. Well that was weird, I must be over worked. "Thank you" I said before regretfully stepping away from him. For a second he looked sad before the face was replace with anger. Somehow though I knew it wasn't at me.

He rounded on the drunk man and pulled him up by the collar of his shirt. He c****d his fist back as if he were going to punch the guy and I quickly grabbed his fist. He instantly looked at me "Hey don't do that" I said. "He tried to hurt you ma..." He started to say "ma'am" He finished. "It's okay. I'm okay" I said with a light laugh. "After all you're the one who took the hit" I said looking at his back. Other than a stain he was fine.

I looked back at the customer as Kayla came over to see what was going on. "What the hell happened?" She asked seeing the scene. Kayla looked around at all the customers staring at us. "I apologize everyone. If you can please return to your meals while I deal with this" She said politely. Most people went back to eating but some would sneak glances to see the excitement.

"Now explain the hell this is" She whispered. "He's been rude all night and after one glass of wine he's completely s**t faced" I said in a low voice. The birthday man pulled the man closer and we could hear clinking in his pockets. Birthday man dug his hands into the guys pockets and pulled out little empty bottles of alcohol. "Looks like he was spiking his alcohol with more alcohol" He said causing me to roll my eyes. "Okay let me call the cops" Kayla said walking away.

This guy chuckled a little bit before giving me a playful side eye. "There's always cops when you're involved" He said. "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked him crossing my arms over my chest. He tossed the guy back into the both and stood at the opening so he couldn't get away. "I didn't think you'd remember me" He said shaking his head. "What's your name?" I asked him. "Sampson" He said and that's when it clicked. "The wolf toy" I whispered. He smiled when he realized I remembered him.

"Holy s**t what are the odds" I said with a big smile. I was so thankful for this man, if it hadn't been for him who knows if I'd even be alive today. "I don't know but I can't believe how much you've changed" He said softly tucking a piece of hair away from my face. I breath hitched in my throat the warmth on my face. "Well you should considering you saw me for what all of two hours?" I asked with a laugh. His gave a small smile and I wanted to swoon.

I licked my lips and I noticed his eyes darted down to watch before flicking back up. "I still have it you know" I told him. Sampson scrunched his eyebrows together in confused and tilted his head to the side. Damn he's freaking sexy and adorable like that I thought. "The wolf toy. I actually still sleep with it every night" I admitted with a blush. I thought I heard him growl but he started coughing instead. He cleared his throat before saying "You really still have it?" I nodded my head and pulled out my phone.

I opened up a selfie I had recently taken and showed him. I zoomed in on the background where you could see it sitting on my bed. "Wow" He said with a dreamy smile. Finally the police came and took the man into custody. "We'll just let him sleep it off in the drunk tank" one of the officers said before taking him away. "Well you should get back to your birthday dinner" I said motioning to his friends who were trying their hardest to pretend they were watching us.

He smiled and nodded his head "Yeah I will" Sampson said before turning around. I don't know what came over me but I touched him arm and he turned back to face me. I stood on my tip toes and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. When my lips touched his skin it was like I was being shocked but it didn't hurt at all. "Thank you for protecting me...again" I said shyly then turned and walked away. When I walked back into the kitchen Kayla was there fanning herself with her hand.

"Damn Odessa I didn't know you'd need a sugar daddy" She said as a joke. I smiled and rolled my eyes "That's not what that was" I said. "Uh huh" She said with a smirk. "It's not I swear. Remember how I told you about my biological dad being a piece of s**t?" I asked her. Kayla nodded her head as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Well that's the guy who saved me. He's the one who had the cops called" I explained. "Really McHottie is the guy?" She asked. Now it was my turn to nod my head in response. "Holy s**t" Kayla said. I laughed at that "That's exactly what I said" I replied.

I finished the rest of my shift in relative peace after that. My feet were so sore by the end of the night. I practically limped towards my car in the parking lot when I saw Sampson waiting by his car. I lifted my hand to wave good bye but he started to walk over instead. "Hey birthday boy" I said with a smile. He laughed a little and shook his head. "I just wanted to check in and see how you were" Sampson said.

I lifted an eyebrow at his concern. It was just a freaking wine glass not a damn bomb. "I'm okay really beside you're the one it hit" I said turning him around to check out his back. "I'm sorry about your shirt. Looks expensive" I said. "Eh" He said with a careless shrug of his shoulders. "I have plenty others" He said facing me again. "Well my feet are killing me so I'm going to go home" I said pointing a thumb to my car. "Here" He said scooping me up in his arms bridal style. I opened my mouth to protest but he was just so damn comfy.

I rested my head on his shoulder and I thought I heard him sniff my hair. I decided to ignore it since I felt so warm. When we reached my car he set me down on my feet and opened my door for me. "Thanks for the lift" I said with a chuckle and he smiled. "Anything for the lady" He said. "Well it was good to see you. Maybe we'll run into each other in another seventeen years" I said as a joke but I didn't laugh. He looked so hurt and sad when I said that.

"What if we didn't wait that long?" He asked me. Now it was my turn to be confused as I tilted my head to the side. "I mean would you like to grab coffee or something" He asked putting his hands in his pockets. I couldn't help the smile that crossed my lips as I nodded my head. Why was I so excited for this it was weird. "Let me see your phone" He said. I pulled it out and handed it over. He made a few clicks and typed something then his phone dinged.

"There now we have each others numbers" He said handing me back my phone. "Awesome. Text me the details" I said. "Definitely" He said. Sampson leaned down a little and gave me a light kiss on my cheek and I wanted to moan as his breath hit my ear. "See you soon peaches" He whispered and a shiver went down my spine. He pulled away from me and slowly walked over to his car. I got into my car and drove home.
