"Dave?" Daisy calls out to him, he turns around with a brow raised."About today, " she starts but seems reluctant to speak."What about today?" Dave demands.Daisy raised her head and met his gaze, "I know I am not your mate and will never be but, we are now married and that makes us equal in right and decision" Dave frowns, he doesn't understand where she is heading."Why not make your point clear for me to understand?" Daisy gulps down nervous, "You have the right to demand respect from me but can you please make it less embarrassing? "Daisy felt so embarrassed when he spoke to her rudely in front of the maids as though she wasn't his wife.Dave stares at her for a long time as if trying to figure it out before saying, "Is that all? "Daisy was stunned he didn't find it offensive, she quickly nodded." Yes, that's all for now" " I'll see into it, though I can't say I won't, " Dave says not biting around the bush." And lest I forget, don't enter my room if you aren't permitted
Daisy walks out of the bath with a towel wrapped around her chest, and Mary follows her behind."It's ok, I can take care of myself now. Thank you" Daisy didn't want her to do everything for her, but now that she feels better, she should try to do things on her own."Sure, Ms.? I can help you out with just anything" Mary offers.Daisy flashes her a smile, "Maybe there'd be but for now, I think I'm fine on my own" Mary nods, "If that's the case, I bet to excuse myself" She bows and turns to leave but Daisy stops her."You made mention of you knowing Dave, how long could that be?"Mary's face brightens, "For been a very long time now, I'll say since he was just a little boy of five or seven" "Wow, that's such a long time. You are his mom" Daisy blurts.Mary's face drops, " so bad he doesn't see me that way. " Daisy felt guilty bringing up such a topic." I'm sorry! " Mary quickly brushed away her sadness." It's nothing I don't mind. So long as he let me stay here and take good care
Daisy felt satisfied seeing how embarrassed Britney looks. She wonders where she going to that only Dave's knows.She settles down on the dining, pour some wine into her tea cup and add some sugar cubes while swirling.Dave stood up and walk his way up the stairs without a word. Daisy didn't mind, it's not like she's expecting him to say a word anyways.Daisy turns to Mary, "mind joining me?" Though she's used to eating alone, Mrs Bella has always been there to accompany her and it feels weird eating alone now.Mary smiles at her, "I dare not, child!"There are rules that forbids the maids from doing certain things and that includes siting at the dining.Daisy frowns, "why not? You must be famished too!" Mary gives her a soft smile, " I'll get myself something later"Daisy looks confused, she stares at the dishes on the table, "I've got more than enough to go around, why stress on things that can easily be handled?" She doesn't understand why she keeps on refusing her offers, "Yo
"Who am I to you?" Daisy demands, wanting to know how he sees her."You are nothing but an obligation" Dave voiced, "know your place and stay out from anything related to me" he turns and leave.Daisy doesn't know how to feel about the truth he pouts as if it's nothing. She's always known he doesn't value her but saying it to her face hurts her pride and dignity." Young Ms, I'm sorry! " Mary apologizes, she feels bad for her and blames herself for everything.Hadn't she refused her, Daisy wouldn't have had to face this public humiliation."It's all my fault!" Mary cries, feeling sorry.Daisy turns to her and forces a smile, "It's nothing" She faces the direction Dave exited from, "It's normal for everything married couples to fight, right? So it's ok, it just happened you were present, that's all" she tries to make her feel better but deep down, she wasn't happy."Common, cheer up and let's eat. It's just a little fight, nothing else" Daisy changes the topic and takes her seat.Mary
Daisy shivers on the bed at the cold breeze that caresses her body, she turns around in displeasure unwilling to open her eyes.Mary smiles at her cute little figure, she walks and stands by the side of the bed. "A bright and beautiful morning for an adorable Ms" she cheers, aiming at brightening her morning.Daisy groans and pulls the covers above her head. Mary chuckles and moves away from the covers."A good wife must wake up early and get breakfast done for the husband" Mary reaches for her and pulls her to sit up straight.Daisy resists, "To what essence is that when I'm barely recognised as one?" "Exactly why you should make him see you as one" Mary crunches down to her level."Young Ms, your marriage to Young Master is out of duty but it's up to you to make it special. There is nothing like home unless you sit and build one yourself" Mary let out a heavy sigh, "if you understand, get your butts off the bed and try being one before it turns out bad" Daisy stares at her for a
"you cook so well, Young Ms" Mary comments enjoying the chicken poorish Daisy made."Yeah, have to... It's not like I have a choice" came Daisy's flat response.Mary could feel the sadness in her tone, she put down the dish on the table and hurriedly clear off the food in her mouth." Isn't it a good thing? Lady's your age can't cook a simple white rice talk less of boiling water " she chuckles finding it funny.Daisy didn't respond, it's like she didn't say anything. She closes the pot and places the cook spoon on a clean plate." If only I could, I would wish to not know how to cook so I could as well get my parent's attention and love" It came out almost as a whisper but Mary was able to hear her" I under how hard it is for you, young Ms but this life can't be reversed everyone would've lived a very much better life " Mary reached for her.Daisy let out a deep sigh, " why then should we be born only to suffer? " She demands." You overthink things, Young Ms Your life may not be th
Grandma Calliope pretends as if she didn't hear Britney, her gaze is on the man on the bed."Dave, is that you?" She asked, wiping her eyes.Dave hurriedly pushes himself to sit up straight, "Grandma? Yes, it's me" Grandma's confused face turns to a realized, "Ah, yes, it's you. Yeah?" Dave nods, "Yes, Grandma, what are you doing here?" It baffles him as to when she came in, and why he wasn't informed. Grandma Calliope raises a brow. "Why? don't you want me here? Is that the reason you didn't inform me about your wedding?" Dave stutters. "No, it's nothing like that. I thought I could pick you up at the airport when you return but..""I picked myself up, is there anything wrong with that?" Grandma Calliope throws him a questioning look.Dave gulps and lowers his head, he feels guilty for not telling her about anything. "I'm sorry, Grandma!" Grandma Calliope shakes her head in denial, "Don't be sorry to me, be sorry to your wife for allowing another lady to enter your room and take
Dave steps out of the bath with a towel wrapped around his waist, the water dripping off his body makes him look so sexy. His smooth broad chest seemed to be calling for attention but Daisy gave none.She focused on arranging her dress in the wardrobe, it's not like they've got anything better to say to each other."Where is Grandma?" Dave demands."She's down stares" came Daisy's short response.Silent engulfed the room for two minutes before Dave spoke up again"This is just temporary, till grandma leaves" he informs." You should act as though we are the best couple alive till she returns to the state " he pressed onDaisy turns to him with a straight face, " You don't have to remind me, I'm aware of my duty " Dave nods, "That's relieving " he walks to the closet and brings out a t-shirt and a sweatpant."the bed is big enough for both of us, try not to pass your limits" Dave blurts as he puts on his t-shirt."You shouldn't worry about that either, I'll take the floor. It's big en
"Daisy?" Mrs Smith calls out as she climbs down the stairs aiming to reach her.Daisy's steps slowed down, she stopped and turned around to face her"Mom?" Daisy calls out, trying to pretend she is ok.Mrs Smith knew she was acting, she was pretending to be okay."About what you saw" Mrs Smith tried but was cut off by Daisy"I didn't see anything" She frowns, "It's nothing like you Dad and I were just having a little husband and wife misunderstanding" She pressed on.Daisy forces a smile, "I didn't see anything mom, you should believe me or you don't?" She raises a browA heavy sigh escaped her lips, "You never do from the beginning" Her tone was sad and soft."8 get that couples do have their ups and downs, it can't always be bright, right?" She asked, gazing at her mom without blinking.Mrs Smith stares back at her daughter, her heart melts at the sight of her talking like a mature lady. She wishes she had a part in her growing up."Why are you here?"Mrs Smith asked, changing the t
Dave returns to his office and is welcomed by an empty sofa staring at him. He pauses for a moment before closing the door and heads straight to the restroom door."I'm back, dear wife," he said over his voice patiently waiting for a response but none came."Won't you dash me your warm and sweet hugs? I miss you already" he adds, walks to his desk and leans against it, hands wrapped over his chest as he patiently waits for her to emerge from behind the door.But after a long time of waiting, no one came out. His usual calm face darkness, and concern could be seen on his face.He pushes himself off the desk and heads to the door, he stops when he is a step away. He knocks on the door"Stop hiding, come out now" he urges, still believing she's inside."Hide and seek huh? I doubt if you would love it" he mutters under his breath, reaches for the door and opens it.He was surprised to see the room empty, a frown settled on his face. He wonders where she might have gone off to.His legs ca
At the sound of the door, Daisy stands up and takes the sit furthest from Dave."What's the matter? Did I do or say something wrong?" Dave asked with concern.Daisy shakes her head in denial, "No, you didn't"Dave moves to where she's sitting and hugs her from behind, "Will you believe me if I say there's absolutely nothing going on between us?" His voice was soft and soothing.Daisy closes her eyes at the sensation he gave as his hot breath caresses the crook of her neck. "It doesn't matter, does it?" She turns to him and folds his face in her tiny palms."It does" Dave pressed on, "I don't want you" he was cut off by her"Want me overthinking things? Of course, you know I would given how close you two are" "There has always been one thought I've had since my first day of living with you because you made me see and believe it" Daisy didn't want to hit it anymore.She wants to tell him everything that's disturbing her mind and it's holding her from accepting him."You made me believ
Daisy stump into Dave's office as Dave chased her behind"Don't be mad, I wanted to show off my beautiful wife... Just a little" Dave said indicating with his fingers. Daisy groans in anger, "you!!!" She points at him but realises it is useless anyway."You took advantage of me" Dave opens his eyes innocently, "I dare not do such a filthy thing to my dear wife"Daisy hits him on the arm and pushes him away, "You dare still lie before me?" She was mad. He didn't spare her while they were in that room full of people"You didn't mess a chance to flirt with me," she groans in pain, "you even tried touching me appropriately" she grumblesDave hugs her from behind, "Don't be mad my love, the truth is you were so beautiful that I couldn't bring myself to hold back" his tone was sexy and seducingDaisy tried taking his hands off her but he didn't let go. "Pervert, let go of me," she said but deep down, she was bursting with happiness.He's never been this clingy to her and she feels specia
"what's with all the dress code? Are we going somewhere?" Daisy asked wondering why he would ask her to dress up beautifully."Yes we are" Dave's gaze lingers on her body, "it looks perfect on you" he compliments.Daisy couldn't help but smile, she isn't used to his compliments and they make her shy."Where are we going?" She asked, curious to know."Let's go, you will see" he intertwines their fingers together and they both walk out of the room.He leaves her to the dining, pulls out a seat for her.Daisy's heart dances in her chest but he tries hard not to let him see it."Thanks" she goes on and takes her seat.Dave takes him and starts dishing food on her plates. Daisy watched him quietly, silently observing his every movement."I can serve myself, you shouldn't bother about me" Daisy doesn't want him working for her, she has hands and has been doing it for herself all along."Let me worry about you, you are mine to care for" Seeing his persistence, Daisy let him do what he pleas
Dave stopped and rolled to the side, his breath was haggard and he stared at the ceiling.He doesn't know why she became uninterested all of a sudden but whatever is the case, he doesn't want to go against her wish."I'm sorry" he apologized.Daisy didn't respond, she seemed to be lost in her thoughts. Dave pushes himself halfway up and supports his head with his hand while staring at her."Are you mad?" He demands.Daisy shakes her head in denial, "I'm not" she voiced."You look mad" Dave pressed on.Daisy pushes herself to sit up straight, " I'm not, just feeling tired... That's all" She walks into the bedroom and closes the door.She can't tell him she is mad at him for not explaining to her his relationship with Britney. What if there is something more than what's there? How will she be able to take it when he is making her believe he loves none but her alone?The night went on, both silently immersed in the sounds that come with it.Dave so badly wanted to pull her close and wrap
Unlike the other nights, this night felt different and special for Daisy. Sleeping in the arms of the person she has come to love and cherish, smelling his manly scent of mint and feeling his warm embrace of her tiny body is a dream come true.Daisy stares at the sleeping man observing his well-shaped face. He looks so handsome when he's asleep and his long perfect thick lashes make him look drop-dead gorgeous.His dishevelled hair falls to the side of his face, she moves her hand and pushes the strand away.Her soft finger caresses were enough to wake the sleeping man, his lips pulled up into a smile. He grabs her hand stopping her from moving any further."It isn't dawn yet, you should be sleeping" his deep baritone voice vibrates.Daisy quickly closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.Dave's face brightens up into a smile at how bad she is in acting. He turns around, facing her. Her face was as smooth as silk, and her beautiful lips and brows were enough to test his sanity.No mat
It was dusk when Dave decided to step down for dinner. Climbing down the stairs, he was quick to notice Daisy wasn't present."Where is my wife?" He asked Mary who was serving the dishes on the table.It's the first time Dave is claiming Daisy by calling her his wife. He always refers to her as 'she' or calls her by her name."She's yet to come down for dinner" Mary responded.Dave stares at the table full of food, he goes closer and starts dishing out food."Take the rest back, we will be eating upstairs" he informsMary nods, "Do you need my help, young Master?" She asked.Dave shakes his head in denial, "Not at all, I'll be just fine" he turns and starts climbing up the stairs, "just help us with water when you are done"On the other hand, Daisy was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling lost in thought when a knock came on her door but she was unable to hear it.The door opens and Dave walks in, he places the tray of food by the side of the bed and makes himself comfortable."You
"you don't have to do this" Daisy doesn't want him doing things for her, her heart hurts every time he keeps being nice.Dave ignored her, went on and started picking clothes for her. After a while of selection, he turns to her"Want to try them on?" He proposes.Daisy look away, with no words left to say. She doesn't want anything from him, especially his gift."I'm taking all" he informs the sales lady.She nods and carries the things inside for packaging. Dave takes a few strides towards Daisy.Daisy takes two steps away, Dave can sense her quest for distance. He nods and turns his attention to the mall, staring at the things inside."Wanna go out for an ice cream?" He asked.Daisy didn't respond."It won't be fun if we come and leave without doing something simple and nice," he said.Daisy still didn't respond, she could tell his looking for ways to get close to her and she didn't want it.The sales lady returns with the five shopping bags."Take them to the car" Dave orders, out
