It's Just Pretend ✔️

Chapter 48 (Last Chapter)

"These are the last boxes" I hum setting down the big box in my living room followed by Damien setting his down. "You know I could have hired people to do this" I look around at the many boxes of clothes and the few things he decided to keep.

"There's no fun in that- plus I needed a workout" he sighs stretching his arm. I nod agreeing to that last part. I was just starting to get into my normal routine again.

"Do we want to start unpacking today as well or do you want to save it for tomorrow" I ask pushing some boxes closer together to save some more room.

"We can start tomorrow, can't have my darling overworking himself" he chuckles grabbing my head to kiss my temple. I smile playing with his hair. "Plus I need to start job hunting" he nods and I roll my eyes.

"Why don't you just be a house husband with Rajah. Stay home with our son" I tease him playfully and he grabs my hand laughing. "Sorry darling that's not how it's going to work" he kisses my hand as I roll my eyes.

Rajah was having the time of his life jumping from box to box. I watched him skid off of one earlier and it was hilarious. Poor cat went flying.

"I'm going to go get some water, want me to get you some?" I ask Damien and he nods going to the couch to sit down for a second. The Tv was on but we really hadn't been paying attention to it.

Just jamming to music as we carried boxes around occasionally stopping for a quick make out session here and there. I smile pulling out glasses, bringing Damien his. He stayed frozen as I handed him the cup.

"Hey, what's up?" I ask sitting next to him and setting the water cups down. "TV" he mutters and I look over to see it on the news station now. Did he change it?

"Fans still can't get over the fact that after months without seeing Damien here he is back with Zachary Tatton. The couple is seen walking down the red carpet where Damien obviously gets shy and his boyfriend saves the day making him focus on him- I mean come on folks could they get any cuter than that" the women slouches back dramatically, smiling wide before more pictures show up on the screen.

Our reporters got these pictures from the inside. "It seems that our favorite shy boy got a little overwhelmed and Zachary pulled his boyfriend into the safety of the bathroom to calm him down"

They weren't the best pictures but there was me talking to him before giving him a kiss and eventually me leading him into the bathroom with a worried face.

"When they came back out reporters followed them to their seats but Mr. Tatton seemed to be in his own world worrying over getting drinks and food for his boyfriend" she ends it off as I smile. I didn't even know the reporters had followed me.

"You okay?" I ask putting a hand on his cheek. He nods grabbing a cup from the table and taking a shaky sip. "A lot of people are going to see that" he whispers and I nod. "I'm sorry, what do you want me to do? I can call and ask them to not rerun it anywhere else" I say getting shut down.

He takes a deep breath shaking his head. "I have to get use to it- I think I'm just going to go to bed. It's been a tiring day and I don't want to freak out to much" he grumbles and I nod taking a drink of my own water.

He goes to the kitchen emptying his water after taking a few more drinks and I do the same. "You don't need to come with me. It's only seven" he sighs and I shake my head.

"Nope you need cuddles" I push him forward as the cat bounds past us. Once we enter our room Rajah was already comfortable on the foot of the bed.

I pet the cat as I walk by and Damien strips down into his boxers, putting a pair of shorts on. I do the same grabbing some sweats from my drawers. "Come here" I call for him as he steps out of the bathroom wiping his face.

He comes over groggy and just overwhelmed. I grab a hair tie from behind me and he turns around while I tie his hair into a loose messy bun. Hanging low. "I love you" I remind him kissing his cheek.

"I love you too" he whispers putting his head down. Leading us over to the bed he cuddles up under the covers and I follow putting my arms out for him. He gladly nuzzles into my chest as I play with his hair, rubbing his back with my other hand.

"I find it a little ironic that this all started being just pretend" I whisper and he nods. "I find it ironic how I promised myself I wouldn't fall for you, and here we are" he chuckles scooting up to be face to face with me.

Suddenly Rajah dashes across the bed and onto a box we had brought in here. I chuckle before moving my hand to Damien's cheek. "I know you don't like the publicity- if you'd like we can stay inside forever" I mumble and he smiles before giving me a small peck.

"I'd love that but- you've got millions of fans that would not be scared to hunt you down and I need to get a job" he repeats once again making me groan. "Pleaseeee just let me be your sugar daddy" I whine jokingly and he rolls his eyes. "I'm older than you- and no" he rejects me once again.

I sit up and he lays flat onto his back watching me. Moving the blanket that was over him I crawl on top straddling his lap. He smiles rubbing my legs and I bring the blanket with me as I lay down on his chest.

He readjusts the blanket over my shoulders and rubs my back as I play with the hair that had already fallen out of the bun. "You're so attractive when you sit on my lap" he grumbles kissing my face slowly.

"So am I not attractive when I don't?" I ask and he groans. "Darling- ugh. You know what I mean" he yawns and I smirk until he moves his kisses to my lips wiping the smirk off.

"I really don't" I manage to mutter out and he pulls away grabbing my thighs. "You just look adorable, and hot. Your thighs. I love how strong your thighs are" he chuckles squeezing them and I blush at the feeling laying my head down over his shoulder.

"Got it, straddle your lap more" I joke and he nods making me roll my eyes. "I'm mostly muscle, I'd crush you if I'm on you to long" I remind him but he just shrugs. "Great way to die" he laughs and I sit back up a bit, giving him a glare.

"Stop glaring at me- it's rude" he huffs and I just squint my eyes even more. "How am I going to stop this" a hand leaves my leg as he points towards my face.

"That's for you to figure out" I stick my tongue out feeling like a child. "Mmm well scoot a bit closer dear" he hums and I bring myself forward. He kisses me lightly and I immediately smile before bringing my hand to his cheek pulling him closer, deepening the kiss.

"I was suppose- mm- to be making you stop glaring at me. Darling!" He tries to get words out as I just kiss him laughing to myself as he struggles. I finally couldn't stop myself from laughing so I pulled away resting my forehead on his as he laughed at me as well.

"So aggressive" he chokes out through his laughs and I nod. "You're not glaring anymore though" he sighs and I nod again. There's tiny pitter patter before my cat jumps onto my back. I look back to him and he just nuzzles up on top of us.

"So I guess we're sleeping like this" I laugh and he nods. "I really don't mind" he coos. I rest my head down on his shoudler my hand snaking through his hair.

"You know I'm so scared that I'll wake up and you'll be gone, like it was all just pretend" I whisper and he sighs. "I guess we're both scared of the same thing then" he chuckles sadly.

"Can we make another promise?" I ask not looking up to him. "Of course" I rise as he breathes in, sinking down with him as he exhales.

"Let's never let these fears of ours come true" I whisper and he nods.

"I will never leave you Zachary"

"And I will never leave you Damien"

"My darling"

"My teddy bear"

I knew for sure now, it wasn't just pretend anymore. It was was just... real.
