||" Damien Troy "||I knew from the moment that Kristen had returned from where she went, I had wanted to step out of the office to check the settings in the flowers that I had delivered to her.My intentions had been to take a glimpse of what the flowers looked like, there was also chocolate cake and smoothies delivered alongside the flowers. This was the last bit of what I had sent Vitali to get. I remembered how much she enjoyed smoothies when we were still in Russia, but immediately I opened my office door to check on how the setup was on her table. I heard footsteps, which I recognised as hers so I quickly retreated inside my office.After spending a few days with her both in Russia and together over the weekend, I could boldly say, I could tell her walking pace from a distance.So hearing the knock on the door didn't come as a surprise to me at all, I was already anticipating the knock in fact.I was already preparing my nerves for the knock to come and for everything that would
||" Kristen Stewart "||"Only a spot?!" Damien spurted, sounding a little disappointed and I had to bite myself to muffle the fond sounds that were about to pour out of me.I shrugged, "Well, maybe you can do more things to score more points with me then," I uttered suggestively,Damien nodded calculatingly, "That would be a very nice idea, though there is a major flaw with your idea,""A major flaw? What is that?" I asked wide-eyed,"I am not trying to score points with you," Damien hummed as he took a step closer to me. I wondered if he did it consciously or out of habit. He was inches away from me. If I puffed out my belly, I was sure it would surely touch him. I didn't even dare lift my face, hence I would be directly under his gaze, I couldn't afford that, not when my heart was suddenly racing by the close proximity of our bodies. "Kris? Look at me, baby,"I shook my head, "Nope, say what you want to say,""Kristen, I was just saying I am not trying to score points with you, I am
||" Damien Troy "||I needed to talk to Sky before they left work today, but the problem was how I was going to get alone, without Kristen being aware of it. The question I was going to be asking Sky was meant to be a surprise to Kristen and it will not be nice if she got a whiff of it.It would ruin the surprise.And also, I felt weird, ever since Kristen stepped out of the room an unsettled emotion gnawed on my throat. I did not comprehend why I suddenly felt like that, everything had gone well, and the conversations we had flowed quite naturally, and even the little banter we had was fun.But ever since I lifted my gaze and realized that the sound I had heard earlier was the sound of the door closing after she left the room, that empty sickening feeling seemed to come at me, almost overwhelming me.But I needed to clear my head, in the next two days I will be accompanying Kristen to do her daily checkups in the hospital, even though I still don't know if the pregnancy belongs to me
||" Kristen Stewart "||I felt pissed off, I was frowning even when Sky had put on my favourite jam, I wasn't vibing to it at all. I knew Sky knew I was frowning and I knew she was deliberately ignoring me.That bitch."Do you still want to make a stop at the mall or do you just want to head home straight?" She asked not even looking at me,I rolled my eyes, obviously, I wanted to go to the mall. Apart from getting groceries, I needed to get some new supplies for my room and my personal use.Why did she have to ask me, she normally knows everything."You still haven't given me a response yet, Kristen?" She retorted and I glared at her, "You need to speak up ma'am. I am not a mind reader.""Mall," I stated in annoyance."That wasn't so hard was it?" She huffed,I didn't say anything and just sat angrily in the car ignoring her every time she tried to start a conversation with me.Childish of me, I know, but that was the only way I knew that will get Sky to open us to me, she will resis
||" Damien Troy "||The unexpected turn of events today has my nerves wavering all over the place, not to mention the fact that I am standing face-to-face with Kristen in front of her house.Judging by the look on her face, she too was shocked, I never mentioned anything about being in her house today, I mean how could I when I had no idea that I would be standing here right now?"Kristen, who is that at the door? Is that Jason?' I heard a voice which I recognized as Sky's call out from inside while walking to the door, when she got to the door and spotted us she froze. "Hi!" She said and I couldn't help but sign in relief. At least she was not stark speechless like Kristen was."Hi, baby. Why are you so surprised?" Jason chuckled, "Look at you frozen in your tracks,""Sorry," She muttered, her eyes still trained on me, I couldn't tell if she was happy, surprised, or disappointed."Why are you guys standing out there, you should come inside." Sky muttered, "Kristen move,""Uh, yeah, s
||" Kristen Stewart "||I dashed into my room trying hard to ignore my instinct. It wasn't long before I heard Sky's voice calling after me, I was grateful she was the one that came with me, I don't think I would have been able to handle the presence of someone else."Why are you acting so worked up Kris? Even Damien is handling himself much better than you are," Sky berated,"What are you talking about, I clearly excused myself before leaving the room didn't I?" I said, "You make it seem like I did something wrong,""Oh please don't give me that. I know you quite well and I would be a fool if I have been with you for all these years but then can't tell any single difference in your instinctive feelings." She drawled, "I know exactly what you are thinking, and I am telling you, don't try it. You are getting yourself all worked up for no reason, for God's sake you are fucking pregnant,""Bold of you to assume that you can read my mind. I don't have any weird thoughts whatsoever. I only
||" Damien Troy "||"Get me a bottle, please," I said as I slumped down on the couch in the barroom."Wow, no apologies even after showing up late while looking distressed and furious as fuck," Jameson mused, "Alexis told me you looked okay and happy when he saw you so why the fuck do you look like you wanna commit murder?""Cause I am this close to commuting murder. I almost did, " I rasped trying to steady my nerves."Who is it? Who got you so worked up like this?" Jameson asked,"That bastard son of a bitch. God, I have no idea how I am going to be working alongside that guy, he is so annoying.""Here is your drink," Alexis said as he handed me a glass of drink. I took it and gulped it down, instantly feeling my nerves settle."Thank you," I said."It's nothing. I will be preparing our drinks for tonight since I am in a good mood. So better call up those twin idiots to show up early while I am still being nice," Alexis said and we all chuckled."They'll be here any minute from now.
||" Kristen Stewart "||I was happy, I was thrilled in fact, Damien didn't reject the fact that I am pregnant for him. He was happy. It was a dream come true, I had expected him to be at least taken aback or awkward and cringe about it but he wasn't.So, since his response is like that, I might as well tell him the whole truth and what my plan was from the beginning. He deserves to know that at least."Damien I still need to tell you something, unfortunately, you might not be so forgiving this time around, but I still want to tell you the truth anyway," I muttered and he brought my hands to his lips and kissed my knuckles."Babe…I am not sure there is anything that you could do or commit that will make me not forgive you." He said, "You have no idea how happy you have made me. I had suspected that the child was mine but I didn't confirm it totally and I also didn't want to bug you with it, but right now, my joy k o2s no bound. It feels exhilarating like I-I'm born anew.""Hmmm," I hum
