I woke up with a sob..
What.. Why? Those questions circled through my mind as I got off the bed.I made my way to my kitchen, taking a bottle of water from the fridge and drinking.As I wiped my lips, flashes of images came to my mind - of a strong arm encircling my body, a deep sexy soothing baritone voice telling me that he loved me. I could even catch a whiff of his scent as I inhaled the air around me. It all felt so familiar..Hugging my own body, I let myself feel all the familiarity and emotions that came with them, and tears started running down my cheeks without me realizing it. All I could think about was.. Who was he? Why did he feel so familiar? And why did I miss him so?I heard the unlocking sound of my front door, and I quickly wiped my tears away. I knew who unlocked my door; only one person would come this early in the morning - Damian. He and Rai’s mom were the only ones who had the key to my place.<My eyes squinted to see it more clearly.. It couldn't be.. And my eyes darted to my side, toward the real thing. Oh my Gawd, he really is big!“Kat..” I heard him, and I looked at him and was mesmerized by his golden eyes that were now twinkling with mischievousness. “Did you just check out my dick?” I heard him ask sexily.“Yes..” I answered him while still being captivated by his gaze.Huh? What?!“No! No! I wasn't checking your dick!” I quickly corrected myself but I felt my whole face going red. Oh my God, how embarrassing! I hid my face behind my palms when suddenly my head jerked up in confusion.“You okay, Kat?” he asked as he looked at my reaction.“I just experienced a deja vu,” I told him. Which man ever asked me if I just checked his dick out? I tried to remember, but as usual, only a headache came to me.&ldquo
He tastes so good.. He feels so good.. I thought as our tongues entwined with each other. The man pulled back, but I pulled his head back to me. I didn't want the kiss to stop. I couldn't get enough of his kiss. But he kept pulling back until I heard him say breathily, “Baby girl.. Please let me breathe first.” My eyes flew open, hearing his voice, and met with his closed eyes. I looked down and saw myself on his lap, straddling him with his large hands on my waist. I looked back up again and saw my hands on his nape. When did I.. Oh my God! I just kissed Damian, Rai’s best friend! I quickly stood up and scrambled away from him. “I-I-I.. I’m sorry,” I stuttered and apologized with embarrassment and turned around to flee to Rai’s room as fast as my short legs could carry me. Reaching the room, I threw myself on the bed and buried my face in a pillow. Why? Why? WHY?! Why did I kiss Dami
“Kat, did I do something wrong?” Damian asked. It’d been ten days since all my memories of him came back to my mind, and we were currently sitting on his private plane, going to Bali to celebrate Nick’s birthday. “What made you say that?” I asked with feigned surprise. “Sometimes you appear to avoid me,” he explained as he sat across from me, leaning toward me with his elbows on his thighs. “It’s just the headaches. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was shunning you,” I said apologetically. It was just an excuse. In truth, I kind of stayed away from him because I didn't know what to do. It was hard to not show my love for him and to pretend that I didn't remember him. Most of the time, I felt like holding him close to me, kissing him, apologizing, and telling him that I loved him, especially when I saw the longing in his eyes. Ten days felt torturous, I didn't know how he was able to go through it for more than thre
The sun shining through the open curtains hit my eyes, blinding me for a while. I opened my eyes and stretched my body, feeling the soreness all over my body. The memories of what happened last night replayed in my mind, and I blushed. I looked at my body which was covered by many love bites. Looking at the man who was still sleeping next to me, lying on his front, I felt myself blush even more. His strong back was filled with scratch marks, and I knew I was the one who put those marks on him. Last night it was like he was the one being drugged and not me. He only stopped once I passed out from fatigue. But now, what to do.. I still couldn't get back to him, especially since someone deliberately drugged me last night. I wouldn't let Damian get involved in my matters. At first, I thought it was Clarisa who asked her friend to drug me, but thinking about it, she wouldn't dare do anything to me anymore, knowing tha
My alarm clock woke me up the next morning. It was only 5 am, and yet I needed to wake up to clean the villa and cook breakfast. Damian had been sleeping since I came back to him last night. He didn't even want to wake up. This reminded me of the time when I was first diagnosed with depression. I spent my days asleep, not even wanting to talk, eat or take a bath if not for my mom walking me up and helping me. This time instead of my mom helping me, it was me helping Damian. Last night my mom had called me again, telling me how shameful it was for my story to be punished like that. For everyone to know that I was raped was a disgrace to our family. Yeah, she was still close-minded in that sense. But I shut her up by telling her that I loved Damian, and he loved me too. Luckily my mom was the type who never meddled in her kids’ love lives. I also asked her for recipes to cook since she had the experience of taking care of me.
I was downstairs in the kitchen preparing lunch when suddenly Damian appeared. It had been two months since he was depressed, and he had been getting better now. He was able to stay awake longer, but he still hadn't uttered a word to anyone. He mostly accompanied me and stayed silent while looking down. “Afternoon, Damian,” I greeted him and led him to a chair in the kitchen which I had placed especially for him since he didn't want to stay away from me. He was like a puppy, tailing me everywhere I went. “Your mom and Rai’s mom will be coming today to have lunch with us,” I told him despite him not going to answer. “The company is going great, and I’ve learned a lot from everyone.” I began telling him what had happened at the company - the problems that Cecilia and I had faced, and the solutions we had for each problem. Working as Cecilia’s assistant was actually very exciting. I found out I loved managing a hotel. Now, mos
I felt a feathery touch on my lips. Opening my eyes, I saw Damian’s handsome face in front of me. “Good morning, Baby girl,” he said lovingly. I nearly cried because of this simple act. It seemed so long ago since he was the one who woke me up. “Morning, Damian,” I circled my arms around his body and pulled him to me for a snuggle. “What time is it now?” I asked as I inhaled his manly scent. “It’s 9 am,” he replied as he pulled me even closer. “9 am? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?” I asked and sat on the bed. He pulled me down to lie down again. “You’ve been working hard for the past months, it’s time for me to do all the work now.” He placed a kiss on the top of my head. I have nearly forgotten that he was alright now and that I didn't have to wake up at 5 am each morning. “Do you want to eat breakfast now?” he asked. “Can I get an omelet?” I asked shyly. I didn't know if
I stopped at the bottom of the stairs, admiring the back of Damian and little Rai in their black suits. This reminded me of the time when we went to the masquerade ball all those years ago. Tonight was the night of the party/gathering of the partners of Lancaster and Sky Groups. Damian had prepared a beautiful deep dark red mermaid dress for me complete with long gloves, but I had designed another dress in the same color. The upper part was tube corset-like style and the material was scrunched up to the left side with a very high slit reaching my hip, and letting it flow to the side. I scattered black crystals on the waist to match Damian’s and little Rai’s black suits. Little Rai was the first who turned around. “Mommy, you look so beautiful. I’m going to marry someone as beautiful as Mommy in the future,” he said as he ran toward me and hugged me. Damian and I laughed at his words. Little Rai was a Mommy’s boy. “Baby girl
