15 • Cheating
Luna Salvatore
(Not only was she warming his bed the night before, she still attends his birthday party. What a nice way to get on my nerves in such glooming evening.)
Luna Salvatore
*forcefully released her hand from Maya as she turns to Vincent*
Luna Salvatore
I think I will looks for Mabel. She told me she is around.
Vincent Hart
Yes, I saw her earlier.
Vincent Hart
*kissed her cheek* I will see you later.
Luna walks away ignoring Maya.
Luna Salvatore
(Ah, I need lots of drink.)
Luna Salvatore
*picks a glass of champagne from the waiter tray as she looks round the room looking for her bestfriend*
Luna's glance darts back at the group she just walk away from to see Vincent talking to Maya who is looking at her.
Luna Salvatore
(Oh, wonderful. Now I regret even coming here.)
Luna Salvatore
*gulps down the alcohol in her glass placing it back on the waiter walking close to her as she picks up another glass*
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Luna?
Luna heard her mother's voice as she stops turning to her.
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
*eyeing her dress* What the–Luna? Why are you dress like this? Where is your outfit?
Luna Salvatore
*pretends not to understand what she is talking about* What's wrong with my dress?
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Everything baby girl. It's your fiancé birthday party, yet you are dressed like this.
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Don't embarrass him okay, I'm so glad I brought that dress I bought for you along.
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Come here, follow me to change right now.
Luna didn't refused as she follows her mom to the girls dressing room.
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
*going through the wardrobe to pick up the dress*
Luna Salvatore
I don't want to change.
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Don't be childish.
Luna Salvatore
I don't even want to come.
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
*picks up the dress walking back to Luna* Because of your work? Come on, it won't hurt taking a break sometimes.
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Like I said it's your fiancé birthday party.
Luna Salvatore
I want to cut off the engagement.
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Cut off the engagement? What you talking about?
Luna Salvatore
Can't I find someone else to marry? I can't marry Vincent mom, I caught him cheating on me, I am going to cut off the–argh.
Luna felt her face forcefully turned down as she held her face from the throbbing pain as she realised her mom had slapped her.
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
You want to break of the engagement you say?
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Say that again and I will slap you way harder than. I just did.
Luna Salvatore
Mom! I just told you he–
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Cheated on you? So what?
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Your father cheated on me several time and I was with him till his death. Do you think you have a choice on this?
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Take it as it is, you are not the first person to be cheated on and you obviously won't be the last. Suck it up and behave like the lady I trained you to be.
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
You are going to marry Vincent Hart in six months time and there is nothing changing that!!
Helen Salvatore (Luna's mother)
Not even an excuse of cheating on you will.
