saturday night / 9:09pm {chapter 9 - part 5}
Milo smiles ear to ear, any good news from his girl always made him so happy. her happiness equaled his, and he couldn’t be any more excited, even if it was just the smallest of things. “i’m glad, baby. what’s been happening, anyway?”
Luna was messing with their napkins while waiting for the food until she shot her face up and asked Milo very seriously, “Milo, is this music thing you’re doing right now… is that something you always wanted to do?” Milo lounges back in his seat, a little taken back by her sudden change of subject. he rubs his thighs with his palms in a circular motion for a few seconds until he looks back at Luna, “without a doubt in my mind. it’s my passion. a life-long dream of mine. i can’t even imagine doing anything else.” Luna smiles, fighting the urge to just smother him in kisses especially seeing the way his face lights up talking about this. she shakes off the temptation and redirects her emotions. “but pursuing music… it’s so risky, you know? some people spend their entire lives not ever making it big… doesn’t that scare you?” she asks intently.
Milo takes a deep breath and holds both of Luna’s hands, “baby, of course it does. but that doesn’t stop me from doing it... because once your passion burns greater than your fears, there’s no stopping to what you set your mind to.” Luna becomes silent. Milo’s eyes narrow down on her and he becomes worried, “why, Luna? what’s going on?”
Luna breaks away from his grasp and crosses her arms. she looks out towards the city view, sparkling in bright colorful lights. she remained silent for a good while, despite Milo’s pressing stare.
the past two weeks she has submerged herself into a consciousness that had her relentlessly thinking about her life, her future and her own personal dreams.
she finally breaks silence and looks back up to him, “Mi, i- i think i want to go back to school.” the rollercoaster of emotions has led her to this decision here. she could be so much more, and she will be so much more.
