After the call, I decided not to go back inside Damian’s room and juts went back down on th3e kitchen where Tito Albert is waiting. I put my phone above the table as soon as I come in, seeing Tito on his phone.
I check some missing things needed for the dinner before sitting down across him. I check my phone first—waiting for the wired remittance that Rael will send me. While checking for some notifications, Tito spoke in front making me look back up at him.
“How about Damian?”
I slide my phone to the side before smiling. “He is coming down for a while, Tito. I had to take a call so I went out first.”
He nod his head before heaving a sigh as he drawn his attention back on his phone. After a little while, Damian finally went in with his black short and plain white shirt. He still look disturbed but as soon as our eyes met, I saw how the side of his lips twitches a little so I nod my head at him as I watch him grab
“What? Mansrael—“My words are cut off when he ended the call automatically, leaving me with such worry that’s started to rise inside me. I look behind and saw how Tito and Damian look at me curiously so I bit my lower lip, having an inhibitions if I am in the right time to tell this them knowing that we are in the middle of our dinner.I walk back towards my seat, sitting down before looking at Damian who has been watching me ever since I answered the call.“Any problem?” He asked.I have no choice but to nod my head before I check my phone—hoping that Rael will call again. I wet my lower lip before looking back at Damian worriedly. “Rael said he is going on a drag racing tonight. He sounded drunk.”His forehead creases. “What about earlier? He called you, right? What did he say?”I clasp my hands altogether before biting my lips. “He suddenly wired me some money that h
I stand frozen on my own spot right after Rael said that. I blink my eyes twice, confused but still staring at my friend who drifted to sleep after another seconds, head leaning on the car window—eyes closed tightly with his parted lips. I notice how Levi look at me after he finally moved Rael to the passenger’s seat then he heave a deep sigh, looking at me then to Damian who is just standing from behind.“I guee—““Did something happened in their home?” I asked.Levi’s forehead creases while looking at me then turn to look at Rael who is now sleeping soundly at the moment.“He did not say a thing but if there is, he will tell it to me for sure.”With a nodding head, I look at Levi. “Take him to his place. Damian and I will follow you guys there. I’ll help.”Levi look at the person behind so I turn to look as well. Damian is now looking at me while I am smiling apo
My forehead creases as I turn to look at him. Damian is now back looking on the road so I tilted my head a little to make sure if if he isn’t kidding or what.“Why the sudden invitation?” I asked, chuckling a little which made him look at me.He shrug his shoulder once, not looking at me. “I just feel like drinking tonight.” He seriously muttered.I smirk before I lean my back on the seat, trying to relax myself after what happened earlier. I never saw Rael that wasted. Often, he stays sober with Levi or even with Nathan for Everleigh and I but now, he just looks… devastated.With a nodding head, I did not turn my head to look abct at Damian. Instead, I lean the side of my head on the window—entertaining myself on what’s outside.“I know a place.” I simply muttered and I guess, that is an enough cue for Damian that we are really going to drink tonight.I hissed inside. Odd.
Aunt Damiela, who is the one I am talking with, widens her eyes in surprise. She then look at the person behind me which I bet Damian then lean forward to whisper something on my ear so I lean forward to go near her.“Is he that ex-boyfriend that Everleigh was talking about whenever you guys are dinig here?”I gasped, moving away from her. I look at Damian who is curious as well but I just fake a laugh, clearing my throat. “N-No, Aunt. This is Damian, my boyfriend. Don’t mind my ex-boyfriend anymore because he is already from the past.” I said while giggling.She laugh as well, now tapping on her keyboard. “Alright, I guess you are happy with this man you are dating now.”I bit my lower lip before looking at Damian who I am sure did not heard what Aunt Damiela and I are talking about. I grab my change first before I motioned him to follow and we then sat next to the entrance of this huge tent.“Everle
I stare at nowhere after finishing my sixth canned beer. Damian, who is just in front of me, staring raises his brows while watching my next moves. I giggled before tossing another canned beer on the air. “What are you looking at? Drink some!” I invited more since he only drank two cans of beers and after that, he only watches me every time I drink with a judging look.He shake his head before looking around. “Excuse me? Our bill?” He asked.I pouted my lips while watching Aunt Damiela scanned for our bill on the counter and walk towards us afterwards. “Sir, I still could not get enough of these beers, I am drinking more.” I mumbled.“You are drunk.”I growled. “I am sober, stop being ridiculous!” I annoyingly stated before I stand up, not even having a chance to slip from my own chair. “See?”Aunt Damiela stands in front of me so I smiled at her. “I would want another th
I do not know anymore if how many drinks have I drank already but all I can think of now is the bed—wanting to finally sleep down on my own slumber to relax and call it a day after noticing that I am very full already.“Dionne, slow down!” I heard Mister Dawson screamed out of nowhere so with my half-closing eyes, I look around the place to find him. I may not be fully aware about what is happening in the surroundings but the lights from the buildings and river is very visible to my eyes—quite giving me directions if where I am now heading to. A few seconds passed when I felt someone holding me on my arm before it slides down on to my waist.“I told you to slow down.”I shriek when I heard Damian’s voice on my ear. With a grin on my face, I turn to where he is before cupping his cheeks, moving it to and fro. “Slow down, slow down! I can’t!” I exclaimed, wanting to let go from his hold. “I want to
I entered the kitchen after Levi and I talked. He just simply told me that Rael woke up already but they both planned not to go to class today because according to him—he’s gonna talk with Rael himself and since it is Friday, they will be returning to the hometown and join Nathan and Leigh there. I felt bad a bit because I told them that I will join them both but he Levi did not allow me to. He made an excuse that it’s gonna be a man to man talk so even though I feel about it, I just shove the thoughts off and just decided to stay here alone since I still have a Saturday class with my foreign subject.Damian turns his head at me when he notice that there is someone entering the kitchen. He smiled while I sat down on the stool, facing the counter.“The omelette is almost over. Eat a sandwich for now.”I watch him do something I did not thought he would do for me. A smile slowly creeps on my face, having a fluttering
“That’s it. Tell her not to see us anymore, and I have no reason to talk to her.” Damian coldly said as he stands up, leaving us in the kitchen.Tito Albert look at me and a bit surprised, maybe realizing that I am still around. His lips are parted a little so I show him my force smile before I decided to stand up to follow where Damian is going.“You haven’t eaten half of your breakfast yet, Dionne.” Tito told me as if I forgot about it. As long as I want to eat, I could not anymore after I lost my appetite—hearing their conversation.I look at him before I bow my head down. “I am already full, Tito. Damian has prepared all the foods already, take a meal.” I told him before plastering another smile and left the kitchen.Since I am not really sure where Damian heads out, I chose to check him first inside his room but when I reach the place, the room is so quiet so I move out, checking the balcony but h
Maybe they are right when it rains on your parade, rainbow will soon to occur after a long journey of heavy rains. I have been wishing for a Prince Charming on a right time with a Cinderella-like love story to pacify my standards. But never thought that I would be no like Cinderella because I was born to create my own story and find my Prince Charming on my own silly way.“Gosh, I don’t feel my make-up today.” I mumbled while watching myself in front of the mirror.Leigh, who is also fixing herself, growled. “Shut up, preggy, you look good already.”I immediately cup my belly after Leigh said that. My baby is six months now, three way to go before we’ll finally see him. And yes, it’s a boy. Damian was so happy after we had our gender reveal celebration last month. I could not help but to chuckle on what my love story looks like. Did not know that being in a total heartbreak can lead a person to another roller-coaster love story that I thought, will fail as well like the usual. Who wou
Did not know why I am back on my hometown alone after spending a day with my friends. Earlier, I was laughing with them to cast all my worries away not until I am finally left alone inside that house. I have never been so empty my life, maybe I was devastated after Elric broke up with me but what Damian did is more painful. I was not expecting a Prince Charmng anymore, contented on how he is to me, but guess I am failed by my own thoughts again. I spent weeks on hiding my pain but this time, I could not take it anymore. Never thought that after hours of good times and laughter, will lead me to this kind of misery. I guess we really should not be too happy or else we’ll be sad longer.I am currently in the same place I was before but this time, I am here because not because I fought with someone but because I failed to love one more time.Earlier, after my friends left, I notice that Damian weren’t at home—even his car. I guess he is out again to wherever he is going. I bent my knees f
Days and weeks passed by so fast. Damian and I maintained the distance, we did not talk like the usual. We just talk about the improvements of the baby, nothing more personal. I have been hiding crying under the sheets for weeks now as well but I woke up feeling a lot better than the previous day. I kept reminding myself to be strong for this little me inside me and that I should continue this damn of a hell-hole.Today, it’s Friday. Leigh and Alaric would be coming here after class so I prepared and ordered foods for us. Damian already said himself that I can definitely treat this house as my own, so inviting my friends would not be a big deal. In fact, he even went to pay Aubrey a visit on their rented unit last day so I think we are both fair towards each other. I cup my belly when my stomach growl. I check for the time and sees it’s almost twelve in the afternoon already so I grab some few slices from the steak I ordered from Denvi’s place. I go on my monthly check up as well and
Like what we really want to do, Alaric and I are now looking at the sandbar from a far. People there are enjoying their little vacation, perhaps some of these are students who just finished their term exam. We are both leaning on his car while we are on the side way. Silence envelopes us for long minutes now, no one is talking. We just enjoyed our company without necessary words to speak. I know that there are lots of question running through his head, even I.Questions like, why? Where did we go wrong? Did I trust him too much? Was I that gullible? And lastly, why is he treating Aubrey unlikely? But the latter seems cool seeing us yesterday—like the first day I saw her. I do not know if was I too stupid not to notice or there is really something going on between Damian and I.A loud sigh escape from my lips before tilting my head. “Aren’t you hungry?” I asked to break the silence, remembering that we never had our lunch still. Well, I was about to. But never thought I would be seeing
It’s already eight in the evening when Alaric sent me home after hours of riding the car near the sea side. After Damian left earlier, Alaric invited me for a drive for me to ease the burden feeling I was dealing with earlier. Unlike what Damian said, I did not wait for him back there. And now, as I head inside the n=entrance of the house, the lights from the living room are already off except upstairs. I took a heavy breath while going towards the kitchen and drink a glass of water. I lean for a few seconds on the counter before removing my blazer as I walk upstairs, burnt out and with a heavy heart.I check the balcony of Damian is there but he wasn’t so I am sure he is inside his room. I turn the knob right and sees him reading a book on his table. He look up at me and sigh before going back to the book he is reading.That’s it. I don’t want bullsh8ts while we share the same sheets.I walk straight towards him and put the test result I had few days ago. I saw him looking at the two
I have been sitting on top of the toilet inside our room for long minutes now. The kit is still inside the box after I tested myself right away I arrived home and now, I am afraid and confuse at the same time on how I am going to react by the result. I take a deep a slow deep breath before closing my eyes as I move the kit out from the box.“Oh my god.” I whispered as I decided to open my eyes.My lips parted at the sight of two red lines being shown and my hands immediately shaken, mind starting to process in haywire.“Fck.” I cussed out of deep breath. I then remain my posture to calm my nerves down before I went out from the comfort room just to sat back down on top of the bed. “Oh my god, it did not change.” I even mumbled, sounding so stupid on how I reacted.“Mommy…” I mumbled once again before tearing up. I then realize why I am crying so I immediately fan my face using my hands. “Heck.” I sniff before looking around.Should I tell Damian immediately? Everleigh? The rest of my
I thought that the supposedly lunch won’t take longer that what I expected but I guess not. Alaric and I are both panting as we head out inside a hunted castle in the amusement park. I do not know what pushes me to invite him here but I just feel like going in here, did not really expect that he’ll go with me.Few seconds passed when I saw him offering me a tumbler of water, moving it to and fro in front of my face. “Here.”My gaze shifted towards him confusedly. “You already drank in here.” I muttered, reminding him that he already used this and I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to use it as well, knowing that he used it first-hand.He chuckled. “Right. It was so stupid of me not to realize that.” He mumbled before looking around the area. “You wait here. I’ll find some stores that sells water.”I am about to stop him and would be the one to look for one but Alaric already walked away. I look around with a smile on my face before putting the tumbler down on my side, giggling upon
The next day, Alaric and I still decided to see each other. We are still in Damian’s place as what Alaric also suggested so that we can ask assistance for Damian today. We are almost done on our Thesis which is an advantage so that we don’t have to worry anymore after finals. “Should I talk with Damian instead? I have just few questions to ask.” Alaric said in the middle of our silence. I look at him and he is seriously typing on his laptop while not looking at me. I then turn around to look upstairs before nodding my head. “Sure, if you want to.” I simply mumbled before I fix few useless papers on the carpet. Alaric just nod my head, not responding anymore. Few more minutes has passed one more time when he stand up. I follow him with my gaze as he started roaming around. “Uh, are you seeing him now?” He shake his head with a smile. “No, I was about to ask if you guys can print out papers here.” I immediately nod my head and stand up. “Of course. Damian has upstairs. He should no
I shake my head a little while biting my lips. I watch him as his throat slowly move up and down while looking shock at the house in front where I told him to park. “This is our Professor’s place. Why are we here?” Oh my god how did he know Damian’s place? “H-Ho—“ I tried as much not to stuttered but the way he reacted made me lost my right mind to think immediately. I watch him as he went out the car so I followed him. “Let’s talk inside, Alaric.” I mumbled in a whisper before I swipe the card key to the small gate. I heard him gasp from behind but I did not turn to look at him or how he reacts because I know for sure he is confused and I am as well. How did he know that this is Damian’s place? “Wait, Dionne---“ I face him just we are about to enter the entrance of the house. I rub my temple as I look for words on how to tell him. A deep sigh came out from me before I finally raise my gaze up at him. “Damian is my boyfriend…” I whispered, looking at him under my eyelids, worri
