I bit my nail while looking at the black tube dress Damon gave me. It have a pair of pearl earrings that I will love.
I just stared at the dress imagining what would happen later. Does this matter to me? I shook my head and laid on the bed the dress and its pair of stilettos.
I texted mama first that Damon and I had dinner so I would spend the night.
As usual I cleaned the house first. Cooked dinner for mama. I also washed my uniform. I finished exactly at six o'clock.
I was so sweaty to go back to my room. I was strangely nervous now as much as I thought would happen later. What if, she doesn't like me later? Oh god, please don't.
Because Damon would pick me up at seven o'clock, I took a quick shower. I Blower dried my hair and applied moisturizing lotion.
I wore a dress with a foam shovel on the chest so I didn't need a bra.
It was exactly right for me. I smiled as I watched my body in the dresser.
I followed my hair and here I was struggling too much. I tried to ponytail it but I didn't like the result. I pouted and looked for an electric curler in the drawer. I know it's been a long time but I will try if it still works.
I combed my hair and I took a strand and curled it with the electric curler. I kept it there and when I pulled it out there it curled up! And nice to look at!
"Very good!" I giggled and repeated again with another strand left.I was comforted by curling my hair and didn't realize the time and was just startled when a car blowing a horn outside.
"Shit!" I immediately stood up and looked at myself in the mirror. I smiled. God! I am beautiful!
When I heard the knock on the door of the house I was nervous about how Damon would react to me. I took a deep breath and grabbed my black pouch with only a little money and my cellphone.
I feel like I'm going to faint with a lot of nervousness when I leave the room. I went down the stairs .
I opened the door and there I saw Damon wearing a black long sleeve . I noticed that he got a new haircut.
"We're leaving?" I said and smiled.
He looked up and I saw the edge of his lip lift.
"You're beautiful." He gave me the flower with the chocolate
"Thanks!" I took it. "I'll just put it inside." I left there and put the flower in the empty vase and put the chocolate in the refrigerator.
He was leaning against the door and his stature was further refined.
I just observed that all four cousins are tall. I want to keep thinking that these people have races? But nothing. Don Raymundo is pure Filipino and so is Ma'am Sonya.Damn , Montemayor clan is really a good catch.
All I know about Damon is that he lifts according to what I heard. I also saw him before doing push ups in the gym and he seems to be very good at it.
I held my pouch tightly while we were on the ride. As usual, he held my hand while his left hand held the steering wheel.
"You're tense." he said and squeezed my hand.
"What if your mom doesn't like me?" I looked at him.
"Don’t think such things baby, Everything’s gonna be alright." He said it seriously. Mama said that Damon's mama was very sophisticated because they been together once before. They said they were in a batch and mama witnessed how Ma'am Sonya fell in love with Don Raymundo who was in love to Donya Christina.
So, they were a love triangle in college until Ma'am Sonya became Don Raymundo's secretary.
Donya Christina's love for Don Raymundo is also different because even though he sinned, and cheated, she did not leave him. Mama said that Damon gave her everything he wanted.
"We're here." I stopped at the thought as we stopped in a basement of a high end hotel.
Damon opened the door for me and I could no longer explain my nervousness.
He kissed me on the forehead. "Lets go."
I nodded. Damon just threw his key at the valet and we headed for the elevator . He was close to my waist and I could feel the heat of his body.
"Hungry?" I just nodded. “Speak up, please."
I laughed "I'm just nervous."
"I'll take care of it, trust me."
I looked up at him and stared at his lips.
"I trust you." I close my eyes when he kisses me on the lips.
"Good girl." He whispered.
The elevator opened so I was a bit away from Damon because maybe someone was there and I wasn’t mistaken. Two women looked at us.
I bowed.
"Hi! Damon!" The woman's soft voice.
Damon nodded.
“You’re here!?" One said. Damon knew them.
"Dinner with my mom."
"Oh, Girlfriend?" Said the one who greet Damon.
"Yes ." Damon replied "We'll go ahead."
"Oh ! Sure ! "
We exited the elevator with my chest throbbing fast.
Damon held my waist and a man who escorted us opened the white door.
The melodious music of the violin welcomed us.
There is a side buffet full of appetizers and at the long table I saw a woman. I think her age is in forty's. She must be Damon's mother.
She's wearing a beige offshoulder dress paired with gold necklace and earrings.
I saw her one eye brow shot up. She looks so damn good. Her lips were red and she has a perfect cheek bones.
"Son." she calls Damon.
"Good evening ma." Damon said coldly and kissed her on the forehead.
"G-Good evening ." I greeted and couldn't look up.
"Have a sit please." even her voice was sophisticated. Damon's pulled me a chair up he leaned over me as well.
"Is the room okay for you son? This is the most fine room they have here." she said to Damon.
"It's fine ma." he looked at me. "This is Zandria my girlfriend ma.Baby, my mom."
And I smiled.
"Nice to meet you, hija ." she smiled at me.
"Me too." I smiled.
In the middle of our meal they were talking about business.
"You should tell your dad that you'll pursue the company Damon."
Damon sipped his wine.
"He wants Sebastian for the company ma.I can start with my own. "
His mom gasped. "The M Empire Company belongs to you Damon. Not just the HMC."
Damon slammed down his cutlery and I felt his grip tighten around my waist.
His mother pressured him so much. If HMC is a big company. Why even M Empire? But I have no right to interfere.
"Ma we're eating, please. " I could feel Damon's voice holding back.
I saw fear in Ma'am Sonya's eyes but she replaced them with a smile and turned to me.
"How about you hija ? What's your family business? Company? Airlines? Hotels? "
I was swallowed up and I had no elusive answer because there wasn’t even one!
"Ma." Damon warned.
They stared at each other with serious eyes. Ma'am Sonya averted first.
"We'll talk later son." she said and ate again. Damon turned to me and kissed me on the forehead.
"Eat, baby ." he pointed to the food in front of me.
Honestly, I lost my appetite. I don’t think Ma’am Sonya likes me with Damon.
It's September. I am already enrolled in our second sem. Damon took care of everything and as he said he paid for my whole year here at HMU. So I have nothing to pay.
And now I'm wondering how much did he all pay?
There are times I see Damon and Venice. But I don't see anything wrong with that. They were just talking.
Ven doesn't bother me anymore but if she stares at me it's like she's going to stab me with her gaze. Over the past few days mama and Damon have gotten to know each other well.
It’s really fun to feel to be special in Damon’s life. He made me feel so special.
I was sweating profusely as I put the little cookies I made in the oven.
'This was my hobby when Damon left the country. He seemed to be with Sebe there. Business matters.
They will represent the HMC and M Empire throughout Asia. Their company is slaying in the Industries. Not only in the Philippines but also in other countries.
Because their Hotels and Resorts are beautiful and as far as I know they also have them in other countries. They also have airlines abroad so their father often goes abroad.
He has been in New York for two months. That night he always calls me. I really miss him.
I clean the kitchen because there was still some flour left. I was also washing the dishes when my cellphone suddenly rang.
I looked over there and wiped my wet hand and picked up my cellphone on the table.
Ryle? I remember that I didn't go to his birthday and mama said he was sulking.
I sighed and put my cellphone to my ear.
"Hello." my answer.
"Hi! Zand! " his voice was lively.
"What Ryle?"
"You're so bad Zand. That's how you is now.You've got a boyfriend, you're being distant from me. "He laughed.
I nodded and sat down in the chair. "I'm really sorry Ryle huh? Some things have changed."
"I understand I chatted that Ruru was inviting me to the bar."
"Why?" I ask.
Ryle laughed. "I don't know, what happened to her?"
"Alex and her..broke up again."
"Oh? By the way, I'm still going somewhere. Send my regards to Aunt Rosalinda."
"Okay."
"Bye, Zand."
I ended the call and took the cookies out of the oven because they were already cooked. Since mama was not here and I had nothing to do, I would visit Ruru's house.
I'll talk to her about why she invited me . I wore a sleeveless top and skinny jeans. Then I typed a message for Damon first. I know that they were at an event in New York.
In the picture, he is next to Sebe and their dad. I want to laugh because the three are both serious.I don't know who took their pic. They look like triplets, they are hot.
To Damon ': You're so hot. I miss you.
I sent it and put it in my bag to get out of the house. I took a taxi to Ruru's house. Often, without her mom and dad. They have the means in life, they have a Casino business in another country so she is always alone in their house.
When we stopped at the big and high red gate I got out of the taxi after I paid.
I rang the doorbell and was immediately opened by their assistant, whom I had known before.
"Good day miss Zands." Said ,Nena.
I smiled. "Good morning too. Is Ruwela there?"
Nena blushed immediately. "Yes, there's a visitor inside too, come in."
Visitors? I went in and went to their living room.
"I'll leave you, huh? I'm still doing laundry in the back."
I nodded. "Yes, I will look for her."
She nodded and left. I gasped as I watched the whole living room. I was struck by the pictures of Ruru and me when we were still in high school.
When I couldn't see her in the whole living room, I went to her room. Back then, if I couldn't see her downstairs, I would go upstairs to her room.
Their house is big so I always go to her room first. Sometimes I caught her sleeping. Sometimes watching Netflix.Now I don't know yet.
Her room was at the very last door and I went to it. I had in my hands the box of cookies I baked earlier. Maybe we'll watch a movie here in her room and eat this.
Smiling , I opened the door and I could almost drop the box of cookies at what I saw.
Ruwela was lying on her bed with a man on top of her.
Because of what I witnessed, I could hardly move, I think I was nailed to the floor!
Ruru looked up and held the pillow tightly while the man I didn't know fucking her! I'm sure this isn't the guy she dated yesterday. Just the other day she and Mark broke up because she was bored him.
They were moaning loudly and I was still facing the man's back so I could see every tension of his ass.
What the hell!
