The two bears in the moon that couldn't reach each other but didn't give up because they were in love.
I'll be back.
One said.
I'll hold onto that word.
The other said.
Till date, they're still trying to reach each other's hands though it's been up to a century now.

Chapter One: Moon Lovers.
I am sitting on a bench at the park at night with legs sprawled and gaze locked to the glimmering moon. My pet, Jarvis, is on my laps and I pet her body, making her purr in delight.
"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" I ask Jarvis, earning another meow from her.
I am dressed in my sweat pants and grey hoodie, watching at the moon with a hole in my heart. I'm a star gazer, I know, but I want to be by the stars sometimes.
'Trrrrr…..' My alarm on my watch set off and I'm aware it's now time to leave the park. Before I can go any further, my cat shit on a nearby bush causing me disgust.
"Ewww, Jarvis."
She just meows in response.
It is still early in the morning and I'm getting ready to go off to work. My cat is sleeping seeming exhausted from the early morning walk to the park. I smile at her as I wear my office pants.
"Sleep tight, Jar." I say, slowly closing the door behind me.
I work at Vibez Life Enterprise. The owner is Italian and very respected.
The company is large and filled with many staff. As usual, the place is busy with people working on their toes making sure perfection is achieved.
"Hey, Vidda, what's up?" A friend and co-worker asks me, carrying a skyscraper pile of books. It's Fred, the only guy I talk to here.
I reply, forming a dazed look on my face as he is uncomfortable, "Hey Fred." I check both sides before asking, "Is it possible for me to speak with Lorenzo?"
Fred replies almost too soon, "Oh, no. He's busy. He shunned anyone who entered his office. You should be careful and stay out!"
"Yeah, right." I say, watching as Fred, clad in a suit, funnily walks away.
I dress my brown long fringe hair to the side and breathe in, making up my mind that I must go submit these files. It contains my plans for the company this year, 2024. I desire to discuss with him concerning my thoughts towards the company.
I am scared as fu*k! I dress my pallazo pants, dusting off invisible dirt from my clothes as I am now standing in front of my boss's office.
"Awwn…" I hear a voice from inside his office. It sounds like a woman crying. I worry because the cry sounds high.
"Ummm, Mr. Lorenzo?" I call, trying to peep through the drapes what's going on in there. To my greatest surprise, it is my boss having sex with a goddess-like female on his table!
My pupils dialate as I see my boss shirtless and has his face burried in the woman's neck.
"Umm," I blurt out as it is a stupid habit of mine because my boss has just caught me snooping.
Wait, the cry were actually moans. Moans of pleasure?
My heart thud faster as I hear the footsteps of my boss marching angrily towards me. 'What should I do?'
"Vidda Collington!" My boss yells at me and now I know I'm done for sure. I am about going back to where I came from, but it's too late; I've been caught.
"Yes Sir." I reply in an innocently shaky quiet tone.
There's silence and I hear him say, "Come in."
My heart squeezes into a knot and I take in a quiet deep breath before walking in.
'Why would my boss tell me to come in?'
'Shouldnt he tell me to go out!?'
'Is he shirt-, what if he's… actually…. naked?'
"Yes Sir, " I say, simultaneously whining the door open.
"So you've succeeded in disrupting me." I see the attractive handsome face of my boss, smouldering in anger.
I apologise with my head bowing down in embarrassment, "I'm sorry Sir."
He doesn't let me speak. "Of course you are." I see that he's without a shirt and he's fine masculinity showcases itself. He has a black earring on his ear and an equally sexy tattoo all-over his body. "What do you have to say?"
I'm not paying attention. I didn't know when I rose my head but as it is now, I am adoring how his black short hair fits him soo much.
Gladly, my senses recall and I hear his question asked few seconds ago. Ummm… what does he mean by that? I just said sorry. Another sorry? Perhaps my purpose of which I came here for.
I gulp down nervously. "Sir, Lorenzo, I…" Before I can continue, he interjects, leaving me dumbfounded.
"—You might as well stay and enjoy the show. Why leave now when were almost done right?" My boss confused me and fear envelopes me more because I am bewildered by his speech. "Britney, come finish what we started." Boss Lorenzo orders, causing my heart to ache in fear.
"Ugh! Why does this lowlife worker have to be here?" I hear a brat taunt with folded arms by the corner. She is wearing a strapless vest and I see she's blonde. This Britney girl is very beautiful but I don't think her heart could match.
"I am soo sorry, Ma'm" I apologise, trying to show I am eager not to see whatever steamy thing they have going on. In reality, I'd literally drag this lady's hair for a cat fight.
I chuckled as I just rembered Jarvis.
"Vidda?" My boss's authoritative tone calls me out of my daydream and I land back to present time and issue. "You'll be fired if she walks through that door."
What?!
I see a disdainful look on 'Britany's' face, giving out she doesn't give a shit. I give a shit. Alot of shits! I have myself and my cat to feed at home.
This so called model Britney is wearing a golden super short skirt and a black jacket that introduce onlookers to a bit of her breasts. She has natural makeup on adding glamour to her golden brown skin.
"Uhhh, step aside manure." Britney insults, making a loud gong to hit my head. (Course, the gong's imaginary)
I want my job so bad so I have to beg this stale fish. I stop her to beg, "Maam please, I really need my job so if you could just—" I spoke in plea but the bitch just shoulder-hit me and I was about to retaliate when I remember I am broke.
If I can get fired for not stopping a model from walking through this door, then only god knows what Mr. Lorenzo will do to me if I hurt her.
The bitch, though angrily, gladly walked through the door like a peahen, knowing a girl's lost her job now.
I suspend my hand in the air which I previously wanted to use in hitting her.
'Sir please, if you can just forgive me.' I turn my body to face him, and my eyes alight on a heated glare from his sterling grey eyes.
My heart slap my chest, still staring at his beautiful eyes as I await his final verdict.
"Maybe you can take her place now, Vidda." My boss says.
