Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Luna

She had blue eyes with small pinkish lips and even though she wore no make up she was perfect. Even though she was dressed conservatively with a baggy white sweater over black jeans, the active Eyes of Order could not be lied to.

She was tall fair skin tone nicely tanned with long flowing black hair that reached halfway down her back. She had the right curves in the right places; a little bit more and it would be too much, a little bit less and it would not be enough. Her skin gave off a gentle white glow like a radiant moon.

Forget Pandora, forget Aphrodite, She was perfect like a sculpture crafted with the special attention of the almighty himself!

This creature definitely earned an extra it is good! when the creator was done crafting!

Forget perfect100? This girl is off the charts! The scale wasnt made for things like this.

Thanks she smiled and accepted the paper he passed to her.

Holy Christ, you are beautiful! the words escaped outside of Drakes control.

Thank you. She blushed slightly and replied still smiling at him. Your eyes are beautiful too

Luna had no idea why, but talking to this guy felt different from when she talked to other men whether her age or older. Other men had this nefarious glint in their eyes when they looked at her that made her uncomfortable but this man didnt. She knew she was beautiful, she was constantly told this everyday all her life for as long as she could remember so hearing these words wasnt something new to her, some people had used even more atrocious words to praise her beauty.

Apart from her parents, she would always feel uncomfortable, sometimes even irritated when anybody else praised her looks. Drake was the only other exception to this, his eyes were clear and she didnt feel any discomfort from his gaze, and when he praised her beauty it didnt cause discomfort and irritation, instead she felt warm, and fuzzy inside. She didnt know why but she really liked it, maybe even more than she did when her parents praised her. This was shocking and confusing to her, she felt herself getting more and more curious about this guy.

Thanks! I guess. Drake suddenly felt himself turn stupid, he could no longer think again. Never had he ever seen a creature so beautiful before.

Do something Drake! Wheres all you skills in talking to women? Dont tell me you cant think of anything to say to make her like you! Drake flipped through everything in his head, trying to find something to say, he was like a librarian that was going crazy after realizing that every book he flipped through in his library was suddenly empty, this was no laughing matter.

it was at this time that Drake realized why all the great men always fell to women. It wasnt because they werent thinking, no. It was because they all turned stupid thanks to being ensnared by the charms of beautiful women,

Damn it who emptied out my archives? Its life and death here! Drake roared in his mind. The worst thing at this moment was that time seemed to slow down and he felt even more stupid the longer he spent without being able to find something to say. Damn it Aphrodite! What did you do?! he roared inwardly.

This is definitely Aphrodites fault! Im very sure shes the one thats up to mischief. Why are women so petty? I only said another girl was a little prettier than her and shes taking revenge by burning down the INTERNET! Drake thought, Now that I think about it, Cory Barlog was always very ambiguous about what happened to Aphrodite. There was never any true confirmation that Lord Kratos killed Aphrodite in the God of war series was there?

Come on please dont do this to me! Okay. It was this foolish ones fault, this foolish one was wrong. Im sorry you the prettiest, the most beautiful okay. I only said that nonsense because Ive never really seen a real goddess in real life but Ive learned from my mistakes. Youre the goddess of beauty no mere mortal can compare to the great Goddess Aphrodite, hell even Athena and Hera cant stand at the same level as you. Drake was almost praying like a devout follower of Aphrodite and kept using all kinds of honeyed words hoping it would appease her anger.

While doing that, he kept trying to think of anything he could say to Luna. Come on Drake, say something to her. Go out on a date with me. Be my girlfriend he shook his head trying to clear his thoughts.

He couldnt say things like that, she would think he was weird. He didnt want to scare her off.

Luna lightly chuckled and said, Youre really bold to say things like that so openly to a girl you just met.

Drake had a bad feeling, Im sorry, would you excuse me. I just finished taking a scary exam, where I had to pour out everything in my head and am now faced with the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. My mind is exhausted right now and I am having problems keeping things I shouldnt say locked in my head. Would you mind telling me how much I said out?

Which part? When you asked me out, or the proposal?

Wow! There goes my last bit of dignity. Drake instantly felt the wind go out of his sails, but he was relieved that she didnt hear his conversation with Aphrodite, Luna laughed more when she saw him drooping his head like a proud stallion with a wounded pride.

Alright since the cats already out of the bag and my intentions are already known, then I might as well be a man and own up to it. So, be my girlfriend? Drake thickened his face and came clean. He had decided on a strategy after asking himself What would Long Chen do?

(WN: Long Chen was one of the greatest nine star heirs to ever walk the Martial heaven continent and The Nine heavens and ten lands. The one who pushed his Divine face slapping technique to the level of achieving Dao.)

In a situation like this there was one thing Long Chen would do, and that was to be shameless.

(WN: Long Chen is the MC from Nine star hegemon body art.)

Luna was dumbfounded by how direct he was being, My parents taught me that Im not supposed to go on dates with boys, especially guys I just met.

Thats right, and you should listen to their wise words. Drake nodded in approval, then added, Youre also not supposed to talk to strangers, but here we are. Since youre already breaking rules we might as well go wild. Besides, if you ask me, were just bending the rules slightly. I know your name. I also know your mom is the one that chose to name you after the moon as for me you also know my name and you know my secret. With things like that we cant possibly still be strangers. so no rules broken so far. You want to play that game with me? You are still a hundred years too young, maybe wait till after you train for another thousand years.

Luna was speechless, I still cant go on a date with you.

Couples hang out! So that rule would be invalid if you were my girlfriend. This level of word play is childish, try again.

But she couldnt retort, or at least she couldnt think up a good response, so she asked. What makes you think Im going to go out with a guy I just met, talk less of be your girlfriend?

You wont say no because I was bold enough to step forward and ask you, because nothing is more charming to a woman than a confident man. I could have asked you to go on a date with me before proposing, but since I know we will eventually get there Ive decided to skip all the unnecessary pleasantries.

I know you will agree because Im the only man whos confident enough to ask you, unlike some other men who would do things while having ulterior motives.

How are you sure you are the only one?

Because Im a man and I know how men think. With our grade of looks, you would make any man feel inferior. They would be too ashamed of themselves to dare ask you out since they would feel like such an act would profane you. But a man is prideful and will never admit to that openly, so to console themselves theyll just tell themselves that you probably already have a man, but that is just an excuse this is half the reason why most of the time the most beautiful girls surprisingly end up being single while most of their friends arent.

this was heavens way of compensating the lesser beautiful women. Its a sad reality that nothing can be done about.

The reason that was responsible for the other half that Drake didnt tell her was that the guys who usually went for the truly beautiful ones usually turned out to be either narcissistic pricks or other kinds of douche bags with nefarious intentions. As for those good ones that were bold enough to approach the beautiful girls were probably either too weak or werent rich enough to compete with the other rich and powerful guys and if they still insisted under these conditions, bad shit usually ended up happening to them. They might not even get to the beauty.

This particular reason was one of the causes as to why beauties turned out to be extremely cold and proud uncaring self entitled creatures. Reality really is messed up! Drake thought.
