"I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive." -Nicole Kidman
“Good morning Rini,” I said to my orange tabby kitten and scratching Lina’s ears causing her to purr then I started to get dressed blue t-shirt, dark beige shorts, beige scarf, bangs, blue wedges and then put my long curly hair up into a high pony tail then headed down to the kitchen for breakfast with papa. Papa was making eggs and buttered soldiers for breakfast while humming the lullaby that he has being sing to me since I was a baby when the breakfast was done papa placed the breakfast in front of me and his were he would sit before heading back to where the kettle was to make us some tea.
“So you never told me what happened when you were auditioning at X-factor?” papa asked me so I started to tell what happened at X-factor soon I got to part of telling my papa who the judges were when suddenly I heard a crash which cause me to jump when I looked at my papa he looked like was having a trance or a flashback since he was stand so still so I slowly and cautiously headed over to my papa then gentle placed my hand on his arm.
“Papa?” I said gentle which caused papa to jolt back before shaking his head a sigh.
“I am sorry Luna for scaring you like that by blanking out there but it’s nothing to worry about I think I have not being get enough sleep as I am supposed to have,” Papa said with a tired smile and I could see the bags under his eyes.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I am sure Luna so what have got planned to do for day Luna?”
“Claire and I have planned to go shopping today since I have gotten rid of quite a few of my clothes in my ward robe and get new clothes & shoes.”
“Of course, how can I forget that you gave away four bin bags full of clothes to charity and I don’t remember ¾ of clothes that you had in your wardrobe since a lot of them came from tante (auntie) Maud & Eira since I remember that they loved buying you clothes as presents.
“Yes, they did but unluckily I have grown out of most of them.”
“Yes, you have grown quite a bit taller.”
“More than a quite a bit papa I am a head taller then you at least.”
“Sheesh, you know how to rub it in,” papa said while sending a grin toward me which I returned before taking our plates and placing them in the dishwater then headed to get my Mulberry satchel which had everything that I need for today. The Mulberry Satchel was given to me from tante Eira on my sixteen birthday, the satchel has been with tante Eira since she was twenty years old which was given to her but her late grandma before she passed away so when I received the satchel for my sixteen birthday I had tears in my eyes because I knew how much that bag meant to my tante Eira so I felt honoured that she trust me enough with her Mulberry satchel. I then grabbed my beige cardigan jacket then placed the satchel strap onto my left shoulders before hugging my papa before heading to Brent Cross were I would be meeting Claire for shopping then lunch then maybe some more shopping afterwards if we felt like it.
~~~
We decide for lunch that we would be eating at Yo-sushi lucky there were hardly anyone there so we were shown to two stool that were near the back of the restaurant in between a young couple and a group of middle aged women we order some drinks coca cola for Claire and Spirit for me then we started take off the dish that were going around the belt that we want then started to eating and talking mostly about what we think the songs that I would be singing at the X-factor boot camp.
I suddenly reached for the soya sauce when another hand reached for it at the same time so our hands were touching sending a massive electric bolt up my arm which caused me to softly gasp I looked that the person whose hand was on top of me and it was the guy who was sitting next to my with his girlfriend. He was tall but I couldn’t see if he was taller than me, he was tanned, he had light brown hair styled like Q (Q or Quartermaster in Skyfall -James Bond) and blue eyes.
“Sorry,” he said in his husky voice making me practically melt while moving his hand and I moved mine.
“No worries,”
“You take the soya.”
“No, its fine you take.”
“No, I insist that you take the soya sauce.”
“Ok, if you insist Mr…”
“Payne, Andrew Payne,” he said cautiously which confused me but I ignored it and just smiled at him before pouring the soya sauce into my sauce dish.
“I am done with it Mr Payne so here you go,” I said before holding the bottle to him which he took and poured in his sauce dish too.
“Thank Miss….”
“Luna Horan.”
“Well, thank you Miss Horan and by the way you have exquisite beautiful coloured eyes” He smiled at me before turning back to his girlfriend while I blushed then I turned to Claire whose mouth was literally hanging wide open.
“What?”
“Nothing,” she said before turning back to her food and we didn’t talk at all until Andrew left with his girlfriend.
“I can’t believe that you talked to him and he complimented your eyes?”
“Why? What wrong with talking to him? Or that he compliment my eyes?” I asked confused & protective of my odd eyes, you see I have two different coloured eyes my right eye is blue but my left eye is blue I asked my papa why I had a green eye instead of blue eyes like his and he chuckled before telling me that my dad had green eyes when papa told me that it made me feeling like I could feel my dad love run though my veins I know that sounds odd but that what felt like. Sorry got a bit side tracked back to the story… Claire sighed with frustration at what I have just said.
“That was Andrew Payne son of Liam Payne and Juliet Arrows.”
“So?”
“SO…So…. Luna, Liam Payne is in the same band as Harry Styles you know one of judges on X-factor.”
“Oh.”
“Sometimes I wonder which planet you are on Luna.”
True I might not know all the celebrities that are popular now doesn’t mean I don’t know any celebrities it was just that I am more interested in actors or actress then music artists and other then they actor or actress that I was interested I was to bothered about celebrities on a whole. Sure, I sang songs but I was more focused on the actually songs like the melody and lyrics then who sang the actually song. I love singing song but the songs I sang has some meaning to me like the song I sang for the X-factor audition was the first song I sang with my best guy friend Neville in our music lesson.
~~~
As closed the front door of our house I could hear papa singing when I had locked our door and head upstairs to our art room were papa or I would go to escape reality while painting, drawing or pottery while listening to music. I opened the door to find my papa painting on the wall with his fingers while singing to the singing to the song that was playing on the radio as I closed the door to the room papa head turned towards me and he smiled at me then nodded his head at me. I went to my side that wall then started to painting over it with white paint so then I could start a fresh and paint a whole new picture.
Both papa started to sing the Queen song when it came onto the radio while painting on our walls:
‘Tonight I'm going to have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world turning inside out, yeah
And floating around in ecstasy, so
Don't stop me now
