Luna
Spoiler! :
I wiped the sweat from my face, breathing in the fresh crisp air. It was about Ten in the morning, and I had been working on the car since my run earlier when I woke up around Seven. After checking under the hood and making sure everything was good, I made myself breakfast and washed up before heading back out to wash Tali up for the trip to New York with Noah, the new guy i'd met at school. and Luther.
Blasting the music from inside the car, I grabbed the hose along with several other things to wash the car with and went to work. I'd pulled on a pair of old shorts and tank top, trying to keep cool from the heat of the day. Washing my baby down, I scrubbed and rubbed, making sure soap covered every spot with soap. I then grabbed the hose, spraying her down. When I finally pulled back, my shirt was completely soaked through, so I peeled it off and tossed it. I'd pulled on an old sports bra earlier, so that would do for now.
I'd just started vacuuming the car out, and starting to sweat again when I heard a door slam. Looking up, I see Luther making his way across the lawn with a not so happy expression on his face. I turn the vacuum off and wipe my face as he comes to a stop in front of me.
"Something wrong," I raise an inquiring eyebrow.
His jaw twitched as he looked at me. He was an enormous guy, standing six foot four with the build of a heavy weight MMA fighter had other guys steering clear of him. His hard square jaw and dark violet eyes had every girl at school flocking to him like moths to a flame, or honeybees to a honeycomb. Some people were intimidated by my brother, but I wasn't.
"Well?" I wait.
"Maybe you should put on actual clothes." he simply said.
I frowned, completely oblivious to his meaning, and he sighs, sounding slightly hopeless.
"Luna," he begins. "you may not be aware of your looks, but others are."
"What's wrong with the way I look," I ask with an sentimentalism frown, looking down at myself.
He hung his head with another sigh. "What I mean is- what i'm trying to say is-"
"Good lord!" came a familiar voice from behind Luther. "What in the hell are you wearing?"
I gasp in delight when I see Sealy, my uncle standing a few feet away with a giant smile on his face and jump into his arms, kissing both of his cheeks as he pulls me into a bear hug that lifts me off of the ground. He l kisses my cheeks, his whiskers rubbing against me and I smile as he sets me down, but doesn't let me go.
"How's my baby girl?" he kisses my forehead and releases me.
"Better now that you're here," I smile. "You?"
"Better as soon as you put some clothes on, girl," he gestures toward me. "you've probably got every man in the neighborhood panting like Dogs."
He pulled off his jacket and wrapped me in it before pushing me towards the house.
"Hey!" I protest. "let me go!"
Sealy didn't stop until we were in the living room and on the couch before setting his jacket aside.
"What was that for?"
"Luna," he scratches his head. "You can be so damn oblivious sometimes it amazes me."
I just frowned, and with a small yet very warm smile, he continued. "Honey, you're a very intelligent, and gorgeous woman, and you don't even realize it. And you walking around wet and wearing what you're wearing...Do you get where i'm coming from?"
"Oh," was all I could say.
I felt like an idiot. Now I got what Luther trying to say. I looked down at myself, worrying my lower lip. Sealy patted me on my leg and kissed me on the cheek.
"Don't feel bad, honey. Your mother was just as oblivious to her appeal at your age too." he smiled and looked towards the kitchen. "Got anything to eat? I'm starving."
"Um, yea." I nodded. "I went shopping the other day. I made sure Luther didn't eat everything."
"That's my girl." he smiled.
While Sealy rummaged through the fridge, I went and put on a pair of basketball shorts and another tank top. I headed back outside to finish up the car, only to discover Luther had done it for me. I thanked him with a kiss on his cheek and we both headed back in. Sealy left an hour or so after the car was finished, so Luther and I got ready for New York.
*********************
I heard an engine rev in front of the house and figured it was Noah letting me know he was here. I slung the bag I had over my shoulder, double checking to make sure I had everything, and then triple checking. After making sure I had everything, I headed out of my room, yelling for Luther to hurry his ass up. "Luther! Hurry your ass up!"
He came jogging out of his room wearing a pair of body molding Black Calvin Klein jeans and a matching black button up dress shirt the stretched across his massive shoulder and chest. He also had a chain linked to his wallet he kept in his back pocket along with a jacket slung over his right shoulder.
I had on a pair of Amethyst jeans with suspenders left hanging free with a tight black tank top with white tribal markings etched on the front and back. I also had a chain linked to my wallet, and a black leather jacket, plus the fingerless leather gloves I wore. Luther looked me over, cracking one of those rare smirks I didn't see often enough and said, "Maybe we are blood."
I rolled my eyes. "Are you ready?"
He nodded. "I'll check and make sure everything is locked up tight. You gone on ahead."
I headed outside, spotting a green Volkswagen Jetta, turbo from the sound of it, parked on the curb. Turning the ignition in Tali, she roared once again, a low growl sounding from her, and motioned him over as he hopped out of his car. He walked over to the car.
"Hey," I nodded toward him. "You'll have to take the back seat."
"That's fine, but why...." his words trailed off and he came to a stop.
I craned my neck to see Luther heading this way and rolled my eyes.
"Never mind," was all he said as Luther came up to the car and opened the passenger side door.
"Hop in," I say as I close my door.
The car dinged, a red neon colored car door open symbol on the dashboard blinking as Noah slid inside, then stopped as he closed the door.
"Noah, Luther my twin brother, Luther this is Noah from earlier." I introduce the two as I out the car in gear and back out of the driveway.
Luther reached back holding his hand out to Noah. "Welcome to Harmony."
"Thanks," Noah said.
"Everything locked down tight?" I put my foot on the break and look at Luther.
"Everything is locked down tight," he confirmed.
"Alright then," my foot comes off the break. "New York, here we come."
