This chapter is dedicated to Anita Chris  #SisterBondA❤️A

I woke up on Damien's bed around five in the evening and Yet the house still seemed empty. I staggered to the kitchen and met two tired Looking maids talking.

"Whats going on? ", I asked.

"Nothing." The maid I knew as Fifi said.

"Boy you two look tired" I said "I How about you two go and sleep where I fac supper for Damien." I offered.

"Thank you" The other one said , curtseying.

They silently left the kitchen and I set about making supper for damien.

My phone rang. It was my mum.

"Hey, mum" I said.

"Where are you, Krishen." She said

"Damien's house. He's very ill." I said, checking the food I was cooking.

"Oh" she said. "You're coming back tomorrow?"

"Uh-huh" I said.

"Ok...I'll send DHL to bring your nightie and your tomorrow clothes. I want to see you at home, three o'clock sharp." Mum said

"Okidoki" I said

"Bye " she said and hung up.

About thirty minutes later, the DHL delivered my clothes in my small back pack.

By that time I was done cooking too.

I carried my meal of mac and cheese to Dami.  I met this guy lying down, just staring at the ceiling.

"Hey ...I cooked late supper." I said.

He just started staring at me

I dropped the tray at the bedside stool and nudged off my shoes. I crawled into bed and just put my arms around him. He smiled slowly

"You ok?" I asked.

"Yeah...kinda." he said sitting up and he hugged me back.

Usually, I'm supposed to feel uncomfortable but I relaxed around him and loved the feel of him close to me.

"What smells soo good?" He mummued.

"Um...farts?" I said cocking my eyebrow.

"Shut up, Krish" he laughed

"Nothing smells good as farts loaded up with sulphur" I sighed ironically.

"You are not serious" Damien chuckled.
"Hey is that mac and cheese?" He said

"Yep " I said and smiled.

"Men they smell better than Fifi's " He said." who made it? "

"Me ", I said

"Aww...so you cook?"

"Yeah. "  I said and brought it to him. Hurriedly, he dug in

"Yum! " He said "I love this"

"feast on it" I said.

"you staying over?" He said.

"yeah" I said.

"Thanks " he said

................

Locked up in his bathroom, instead of enjoying the luxury of the warm water and bubbles that caressed my skin as I soaked in the gold lined tub, I was battling with my mind.

Just be honest with yourself...you love him.

No I don't...

Oh yes you do...yore already manifesting all the signs of super love.

No girl with her correct senses intact can't fall for Damien. But I don't love him

Story for the gods... You love damien. No matter how hard you tried you still fell helplessly down the cliff called love. You love him, that's final.

Listen, loving hurts.. look at andy and Vanessa. They claim to love each other but yet the poor bitch has cried a whole ocean because andy has been banging on other girls.. I've seen enough of all this love nonsense.... that's how mommy got pregnant out of wedlock and the man that calls himself my father left us to suffer alone in this world. I can't risk loving without loosing.

No pains no gains....damien loves you like a sister , a bestie, a.... whaddya call it? If you don't try and believe in damien...who knows if it would end in a 'so they lived happily ever after'.

I've come to believe that there's nothing like a 'happy ever after' . Too much of Cinderella made many girls run into marriage and get trouble. That's the problem with Disney...they tell you that they all lived happily ever after. Did they ever mention that when Cinderella kept wearing rags in the castle, Prince charming was so ashamed of her? Did they ever mention that when Cinderella offended Prince charming, he beat her up. Did they ever tell anyone that Prince Eric got fed up with that little mermaid, Ariel, just because she has lived under the sea for so long and she wasn't used to being a human, talk less of a proper human wife? Not to talk of Beauty and the beast..... Disney only shows us he had a hot temper , hell yeah, and he loved his privacy like a monkey likes banana....but they skipped the part about him venting his frustrations and anger on her and all that. Don't forget Miss-All-White-and-Beautiful, #SnowWhite.... finding true love at the tender age of 14! Her sisters in crime, all the Disney princesses married at either 16 or 18, the oldest being Tiana, at 20-something. At 14, this snow white got married...isn't she too young for that? She may have been a scullery maid to The Evil Queen and has learnt a lot of things from housekeeping and all that .. but she hasn't learned about being a wife! The poor thing must be scared of what wifehood entails when her snow lidded eyes opens. The worst is princess Rapunzel...loving a thief?? Disney wonderfully excluded the number of times that the police must have come disturbing their matrimonial peace on a daily in the name of arresting Eugene and she had to tap out from the royal treasury to bail Eugene out before the people found our that the soon would be king was arrested for theft. Imagine the shame and the disgrace?? Same goes for Aladdin and Jasmine. Dies love have to be like that? Walt disney is the inspirer of dreaming of true love and a happy ever after..... But they excluded all the pain that those women had to go through.... Love is not a happy every after.

Wise sayings Krishen....but there are some exceptions... True, disney may exclude the painful parts of marriage but the happy ever after stays if they didn't up and divorce those men at the slightest provocation. The difference between you and the Disney princesses is that they were ready to love.. but you're afraid to hand your heart out to someone...let alone someone as perfect as Damien. You can create your own disney story and end it with 'though there were some problems me and Damien encountered on our relationship but we lived on happily ever after.'

It's like you have not been listening to me....

I have, stupid.

Arrgh.... I don't and I can't love Damien

3...2...1.. diary recital...dear diary, ive fallen finally for damien....I love him....blah blah blah...

Fine you got me...I do love Damien....but I can't do this . He's too valuable for this... what if he rejects me and boom...our perfect friendship is ruined...I'll be devastated. I give up...this is useless.... Operation Kill this love  is hereby aborted and Operation hide my feelings for Damien is a go.....
