I can explain if you don't hit me!" Luna yells, holding her arms out as if I'd actually hit her.

I chuck a pillow at her, "Explain yourself."

"He asked me for it."

I frown. "Did he now?"

"Okay, no." She confesses, "But we were talking about Socks, then he brought you up-"

"What did he say?"

"He asked who brought me and I said my dad did, then he asked not your sister?" She deepens her voice, imitating a terrible British accent that I would've laughed at had the circumstances been different. "Then I said, no she's at work, then he asked what you do-"

"Wow, he really does ask a lot of questions." I say more to myself, recalling the other night when I stopped by.

"Yeah, when it comes to you." She sneers. "Then I got an idea and said, why don't you ask her yourself? In which he responded, I don't think she's very fond of me." Again with the poor attempt at a British accent. "Then I defended you and told him that you only come across as a bitch at first, but you'll warm up to him eventually."

"Why would you- gosh, Luna what!?" I run my hand over my face.

"Then he asked if you have a boyfriend and I told him again to ask you himself."

"Why would he wanna know that?" I frown.

"You're really bad at this. Which is why you needed a little push from your little sister." She gloats, "Anyway, I then told him that I could give him your number but he acted like he wasn't interested, which I knew was a front since he ended up texting you!"

"So you just gave out my number?" I deadpan. "Without asking me."

"Well, you would've said no!"

"Exactly."

"Get the stick out your ass. I didn't insist on him taking it. I just air-dropped a screenshot of your number to him before I left." She shrugs. "Left it up to him. I left it up in the air, get it?" She laughs at her dumb joke, but I just shake my head. "Come on, don't act like you're not happy about this."

"First of all, who does that!? Secondly, I'm almost certain he has a girlfriend."

Her eyes widen suddenly, "Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you! That girl he was having coffee with is a nurse at the vet clinic." She informs me. "So it's not likely they're dating, you know?"

Hmm... then who was the girl at his house?

"You're not dead, for now." I tell her as I leave the room. Maybe I can get some answers out of him.

Once I'm back in my room, I shut the door and lay down on my bed to respond, but there's already two new messages from him.

- 'left on read'

- 'that's a first'

I save his number before responding.
