Chapter 16: You’re messing with the wrong person
"Don't let her get to you," Luna whispered to him, holding his hand with her delicate fingers. The warmth of her palm washed away all the anger from his head. "Art is about how it makes you feel, not what you know about it."
Ethan nodded, taking a deep breath. "Yeah, you're right," he murmured, his gaze fixed on her eyes.
Ethan leaned on his chair; he exhaled deeply while closing his eyes. "So, Luna... tell me more about this art club of yours," he said, glancing down at the marble flower floor beneath his feet, suddenly more thoughtful.
Luna's eyes lit up instantly. "It's so fun!! We do almost all kinds of art projects—like painting, sculpting, or just whatever we feel like!" She clapped her hands softly, smiling like a child.
"And there are some other members who are really good at this stuff. They're all super friendly!" Luna said all of that at once.
"Damn... How the hell am I supposed to fit in there?" Ethan thought to himself while sitting there quietly. "But I have to... It's not like I can't learn. Maybe I should just ask Luna to teach me?"
"Hmm?" Luna tilted her head, noticing his silence.
"Why don't you come to the club with us?" Luna asked with a soft smile on her lips. Ethan's heart skipped a beat or two, looking at her bright face.
"This way you can get a better idea." Luna leaned a bit forward towards the table; her breasts jumped a bit at the motion. Ethan noticed it and had to force his gaze back to her face.
"This guy is hopeless," Lucy murmured to herself while looking at Ethan's gaze.
"Yeah, that will be a good idea." Ethan tried to keep his voice steady, but the way Lucy was looking at him made him a bit uncomfortable.
