She nodded. “I will.”
“Good.” I dropped her hand, placed mine on her knee, and drove us to Angel and Jay’s place.
I wasn’t sure where those words had come from or why I felt that way, but I knew that if Luna sat anywhere else, I would lose my shit. How I knew that was beyond me. But I didn’t need to cause a scene, especially when her dad was going to be there.
Add to the fact that trying to keep my hands to myself while her father was nearby was going to be the hardest fucking thing I had ever done.

THE DRIVE TO ANGELand Jay’s place was a quiet one. Shortly after we sat in my car, Luna grabbed my hand and placed it on her lap. For the rest of the way, she stared out the window, lost in her own thoughts.
I wanted to ask her what she was thinking about. Or ask what her plans were. Would she ever go back to school? What sort of career was she looking for? Would she consider dating me? My jaw clenched at that last thought. I had to sort through my own shit first.
When we arrived at Angel and Jay’s place, I had to park a couple of houses away because the street was lined with cars.
“Wow. It’s busy tonight,” Luna said, sitting forward.
“Looks like Angel and Jay, aren’t the only people having company over.” I killed the engine. “Ready?” I asked Luna.
She gave me a small smile. “I guess so.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Whatever my dad says or whatever anyone says for that matter, don’t listen to them. Alright?”
“If you’re referring to Ashton, I don’t give a shit what he says but he needs to keep his hands to himself.”
Luna looked away but not before I caught it.
Guilt.
My stomach twisted. “What happened?”
“Nothing.” Luna placed her hand on the door and went to open it when I cupped her shoulder.
“Luna,” I said, trying to keep my voice gentle but firm. “Tell me.”
Luna glanced at me over her shoulder. “Will you keep your fists to yourself if I tell you?”
“What?” I shook my head. “Tell me.”
He kissed her. Touched her. He did worse.
“Tell me because the thoughts rushing through my head are not helping me any.”
“He kissed me,” she whispered.
My vision clouded. Instead of answering, I left the car and went around to her side as she slipped out of the vehicle.
“Zach,” she said gently.
“Let’s go,” I bit out. I was going to kill him. I was going to drive my fist through the fucker’s face. I didn’t give a shit that we were supposed to be friends. That ship had sailed long ago when he decided to kiss my girl.
“I’m sorry.”
I spun on Luna, forcing her back a step.
Her eyes widened.
