Sounds of The Moon

Chapter twenty-three

Armani POV
On my way home I couldn't believe it. Santiago was here and he wanted to be with me.

Thank the gods for the Phoenix that helped him come to his senses. I told him I wanted to take it slow, but it was only so that I could test him.

I know it is kind of deceptive but he broke my heart and I need to make sure he will love me no matter what.

I made my way towards the pack house, my skin had come back to its original skin color, my eyes no longer had bags, and I just felt so much joy.

I entered the house to see my mom waiting for me in the living room.

"Hey honey how have you been," she looked pale.

She had suffered the most when I told her that Santi rejected me, but now everything is different.

"I feel great, Santi came back from his trip, and he told me some great news."

She gave me an iffy face before I continued, "he told me he loved me."

My mothers skin immediately turned back to its original color.

"That's great honey, I am so happy for you!" She ran and gave me a hug before running into my dads office to tell him the news.

In the meantime Gio and Tony came up to me.

"Hey bro, I heard they great news," Tony gave me a pat on the back before going to Karen and kissing her.

"So what is your plan to see if he actually loves you."

It was like Gio and I were the same person, I loved Tony but Gio and I understood each other in ways no one will.

"Well first I have to invite him here, after that I have no clue, I will just see how it all plays out."

He nodded walking away and out of the pack house. Renee and Maria later came down and tackled me.

"We are so proud of you," my back hurts from the impact of the floor but I was happy.

Everyone seemed so supportive except my father. He called me into his office, he told my mother to get out because it was father/son business.

She gave me a kiss on the cheek before leaving the room, she also looked at my father, telling him to take it easy.

"So I hear Santiago came back and told you he loved you." I smiled at the memory of him uttering the words to me.

"Well I  don't believe it," how could my father say this to me. He didn't even know what happened, so why is he being so stubborn.

"Well it happened," he looked at me with a 'you did not just talk to me like that' look.

"I know it happened but I am just saying be careful, you saw what happened when you put your all into him and then he rejected you."

I was pissed, but at the same time he made sense. That's why I need to test the waters and see if his love is true.

"I know father, me and him haven't had the best love experience, but I am going to find out if he really likes me or not."

My father gave me a nod before I left the room. I went up to my room, I was laying on my bed just thinking, shit I have to school tomorrow.

I have so much work to catch up on, but at least Santi will be there. With that last thought I feel asleep.

[Monday]
I woke up, punching my alarm. I was not excited in the least bit to go to school, but I knew Santi was there, so I got up an started getting dressed.
