“ what?” I yelled and softened my tone quickly as I was gaining attention.

“ Jessica darling you did not tell your friend you were married?. ” the man who I suppose to be Jessica's husband Philip said playing with her hair. Jess stood there like a statue not moving at all so unlike her.

“ uh no,” she stuttered out. She looked towards me feigning a smile. Maybe I am just thinking too much. I smiled back not to be rude. I can question her later, she must have had her reasons.

“ oh I am sorry my wife likes to pretend she's single so she can flirt with other men,” he said laughing, placing a kiss on her cheek while she squirmed in his hold.

“ let me introduce myself to you I am Philip Morris. Jessica’s husband and I must say you are the epitome of grace ” he said looking me up and down making me uncomfortable. He forwarded his hand to greet me. Before I could forward my hand Duncan pulled me back holding me closer to his chest. He looked down “ are you alright my love? ” he asked concerned I nodded my head slowly.

Jessica with a gentle voice greeted him “ hello Mr. William ” looking down. I wonder what's so interesting on the ground that she kept looking there the entire time.

Philip turned completely pale like he saw a ghost. Fear evident in his eyes. Looking at Duncan. He held jess’s hand dragging her.

“ I go to go,” he said walking away in long strides. Leaving me all confused.

“ what ?” I snapped, looking at Damon who was looking at me trying to stifle laughter.

“ na nothing much I was just wondering how much you resemble someone I know in that outfit of yours,” he said folding his hands over his chest. His finger over his chin tapping it.

“ who ?” I asked curiously handing him his pizza.

“ the dead bunny in my friend's vet clinic,” he said laughing like a maniac.

“ haha very funny, I hope you don't choke on the pizza,” I said tearing open the sugar packets adding them to my latte. His face was back to normal glaring at me. He sat on the table counter as I leaned against it.

“ could you stop having so much sugar,” he said chewing his pizza.

I nodded my head in a no . “ come on I would be bored if you die before me because of all that sugar ” he said pulling my latte from me.

“ huh, you're eating a pizza that should be more dangerous right ?” I said placing my hands over my hips in annoyance.

“na I am the doctor, I say pizza is healthy and latte isn't,” he said sipping on it.

“ oh, really and Dr. Damon where did you get all this knowledge from,” I said grabbing his pizza running. Damon jumped down trying to get hold of me. With my hurt hand, I held the pizza box, and with the other hand, I chucked the cushions at him making him drop the latte staining the floor and the couch. “ oh ” both of us said. Stopping for a second looking at the mess we created.

Damon was about to run again “ wait ” I yelled making him stop dead in his tracks. “ let's take a moment of silence for the latte ” I said closing my eyes Damon doing as I say.

“ Dear latte you were really amazing to taste, you helped me to get rid of all my sleep. I apologize on behalf of my brainless friend ” I said chucking a pillow right at his face knocking him making him lose the balance he groaned in pain.

“ ci you are so dead,” he said pouncing towards me.

I chuckled running tossing the slices of pizza towards him.
