The Moon and The Ocean novel Chapter 19

Moon opened his eyes and found himself in Ocean's arms. She was sleeping so soundly and her arms were wrapped around Moon's neck. He moved a bit up and kissed her cheek. She smiled in her deep sleep. He mentally awed seeing her sweet smile. He snuggled even closer to her and closed his eyes. It took him a few minutes, then he also fell asleep.

Ocean woke up when she felt a feather-like kiss on her cheek. She opened her eyes and found Moon looking at her.

Moon: Good morning.

He said with a smile. She smiled and stretched her arms above her head. She sat up on his lap and brushed her knuckles across his jawline.

Ocean: Are you okay? How are you feeling now?

She asked with a worried look on her face. He smiled and pecked her forehead. She closed her eyes and leaned in to him more.

Moon: I'm fine. I'm just hungry.

He replied and his stomach growled loudly. They both started laughing. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her into the bathroom.

Ocean: What are you doing?

She asked and her heart skipped a beat when she saw a mischievous grin on his face.

Moon: We are going to bath together.

He said and she shook her head.

Ocean: I am not officially eighteen. We can't.

She said and he pouted. She smiled and pecked his lips. He left her into the bathroom and went back to the room. Ocean took a quick shower, then she brushed her teeth and stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body. He stood up and fell on the ground. He felt dizzy. Ocean quickly helped him up and made him sit on the bed. He laid back down on the bed and Ocean quickly called Maria into the room. Maria came running into the room. As soon as Maria stepped into the room Moon sat up and Ocean saw his eyes glowed. Maria came close to him and he angrily crawled out of the bed.

Moon: Stay away from me.

Moon said angrily. Maria felt hurt but did as he asked. Ocean went to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Ocean: Tell me what's wrong with you. I have never seen you talking to your ma like this.

Moon didn't answer her but wrapped his arms around her too. He couldn't understand what was wrong with him. He was feeling insecure while Maria was in his bedroom. But he was fine with Ocean.

Ocean: Don't worry. I am with you and it will be fine soon.

She whispered. He nodded his head and inhaled her sweet vanilla scent deeply. They broke the hug after a few minutes. He went to the bathroom and she went into the closet. She pulled out a black jeans with a pink Crop top. She was drying her hair when Moon came from behind. He was fully dressed in black jeans and grey t-shirt. He hugged her from behind. Then he took the brush and dryer from her hands. He started drying her hair. She smiled cheekily and sat straight. In a few minutes he was done, she grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room. They went downstairs and Moon's stomach growled again.

Ocean: Promise me you will behave in front of everyone. You have no idea how much everyone was worried about you last night.

Zeus said. Moon again felt rage boiling inside of him. He looked at Ocean's worried face. He didn't want to worry her more. He just nodded his head and closed his eyes. Zeus was stepping out of Moon's bedroom when Ocean stopped him on the door.

Ocean: I saw blood. Moon threw up blood. Something's wrong with him. He is angry all the time. I am so worried about him.

She said in a worried tone. Zeus patted her head.

Zeus: It's okay, he'll be fine soon. You stay with him.

Zeus said and Ocean nodded her head. She went back into the room and sat beside Moon.

Ocean: Does it hurt bad?

She asked in a worried tone and rubbed her hand over his tummy. He grabbed her hand and pulled her on top of himself.

Moon: Just stay with me and I will be fine.

He replied with a small smile. But she could see the pain he was trying to hide behind his smile. She pecked his forehead and he drifted off.

Zeus went back into the dining hall and picked Moon's plate up. He held it closer to his nose and sniffed the food for a few times. When he found nothing wrong and took a few bites from Moon's plate. It tasted fine and Zeus felt nothing wrong with the food. He went to the bathroom and looked into the commode. It was clear but he saw a few red drops on the floor. He dipped his fingers then sniffed his fingers. Ocean was right. It was blood. Zeus pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped the blood from the floor. He then wrapped the handkerchief in a plastic bag and stepped out of the mansion.
