Loving my Rejected Luna

Kiara couldn't help but sigh Every ten minutes when she felt Zane's eyes on her. He was sitting two tables away from them under her request but still, it felt like he was breathing on their necks because of how intently he was staring.

“How do you do it?" She turned to Levi as soon as she heard his voice.

“Do what?"

"He's obviously so possessive of you. How do you cope with that?" Kiara sighed. Yes, it was true that Zane was possessive of her but it was never in a bad way. Right now, he was just behaving this way because he was threatened but she didn't say all these to Levi, she just smiled.

“Shall we order?" He nodded with a smile then picked up the menu and ordered with her. After they were done with that, Levi took her hand that was on the table in his and began drawing soothing circles on her front palm.

"Do you remember when we first met?" It took a whole lot of will power not to look at Zane as Levi grabbed her hand. She could feel Zane's eyes on them and just hoped he wasn't going to cause a scene.

She smiled at Levi then nodded.

"Of course I do. Why were you trying to kill yourself?" The smile slipped off Levi's face then he sighed.

“Let me just say that life is not as good to me as you would think and I was at a point of weakness but I don’t want to talk about that. You saved my life and I'm glad I got to meet such a special human being. Having you in my life has been one of the best things that has happened to me” Before she could say anything, Zane scoffed loudly making everyone's eyes to turn to him.

To Levi, she was sure he was confused by Zane's reaction but Kiara knew that Zane had been listening in on their conversation.

She turned away from Zane back to Levi

“I was happy I met you also. Even though you were very annoying to me and I wasn't in the mood for your flirting that day" Levi laughed.

“Yeah I remember. You were so rude to me. What were you doing in that area in the first place?" Her face suddenly turned solemn then she bowed her head and squeezed her eyes shut.

“I... I went to visit my son's grave. It was his death anniversary that day" Levi immediately went silent and Kiara held Zane hold his breath.

“I'm so sorry, I... I didn't know" She flashed him a small smile but the sadness in her eyes was obvious.

"Heather was the only one that knew about my son's death. I never told anyone because it pained me to think about... think about the day he died. His name was Nikolas and.... He was very little, hadn't even properly formed yet. I didn't even get to hear him cry. I'm sorry but I have to use the restroom" She immediately stood up and without turning back, she ran away towards the bathroom hoping that Levi or Zane didn't come after her but she should have known better.

She closed the bathroom door behind her as she wept bitterly while pounding her fist on her chest. After all these years, the thought of her son still hurt like it was yesterday.

“Kiara... Kiara are you okay?" She opened her eyes slowly as she listened to Zane's whispers.

“Are you okay, my love?" She frowned.

"Please go away, I don't want to see your face” She heard him sigh.

“I know I'm the last person you want to see right now but I just... I just want to make sure you're okay" She closed her eyes as she slid down the door and sat down on the floor.

"Just leave me alone, Zane. Just go!" She screamed then wrapped her arms around herself.

"Please, please I'm begging you, let me in. Let me comfort you" She shook her head.

"You'd only make it worse, Zane. Please, just go” She murmured then rested her head on her palm as she wailed loudly. She knew Zane was still on the other side of the door since she could smell his scent and as much as she hated to admit it, his scent and presence gave her a sense of comfort. A sense of comfort that no one else could give her.

After a while of just sitting there and wallowing in her misery, she felt the door behind her open and before she could turn around, Zane wrapped his arms around her as he knelt down on the ground. “I'm so sorry, My love. If I could go back in time to change everything, I would in a heartbeat. I love you so much and I never stopped. I was a fool and I still am a fool but please, please don't push me away" He murmured into her ear which made her sigh. She wasn't in the mood for this right now. In fact, she wasn't in the mood for anything even the date. She just wanted to go home.

“Let go of me, Zane" He shook his head and held her tightly.

“No, I don't want to let you go, I want to hold you forever. Please, please give me a chance" She sighed tiredly.

"We are toxic for each other Zane, you know that. I can't... I can't take my chances with you and I'm tired, I'm tired of trying to earn your trust” He shook his head.

“You don't have to earn my trust anymore, I'm the one that has to earn your trust. I'll change just for you so please give me a chance” If it was some other time, she would have caved and given in to what he wanted because of how much she loved him but she was learning to love herself more and she knew she deserved better.

She used all her strength to pull herself out of his hold then she stood and stared Down at him. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying because of how sorrowful he looked kneeling Down in front of her.

"Please Kiara.... Please” He murmured and tried reaching out for her but she moved away and stared down at him emotionlessly.

"Good bye, Zane" With that, she opened the door and walked out of the bathroom leaving a dejected and broken looking Zane kneeling down on the bathroom floor.
