CHAPTER 77

"Like Damien that cartoon is on fire" I tell Damien. We both coming out of his room. Vally has taken the tv to himself so me and Damien spent half the day in his room watching cartoons on my laptop.

Now that the battery is flat we got no choice but to watch whatever it is Vallys watching. "I know right. Every episode is something interesting and new. I am drawing one of the characters....." Damien says when we reach the kitchen.

"Show me please" I beg him.
"I'll show you when it's done. I promise" he says smiling and walking to the sitting room.

"Don't come make noise here for me" Vally whines when we come to the sitting room. His laying on the couch and his whole body covers it all.

"Whose your favourite marvel cause I know how much cartoons irritate you" Damien asks taking a seat on the opposite couch. I give him a very brave look cause that's exactly what his doing. Being brave.

"Remember you said you loved Batman" I say directing my answer to Vally cause he won't answer the poor kid.

I look at him and wink so that he can play along for the child's sake. "It was Joker I said. I love joker. His the ideal thing" Vally says with a smirk looking at both me and Damien. His lucky his far away from me cause I was going to hit those balls.

"Mmm, not bad. You actually hit the jackpot. He is just like you. Doesn't care about others but himself. His the bad boy and so are you" Damien says taking the bowl of popcorn and eating. My eyes go wide by his response. That must have taken alot of guts.

Vally sits up looking at Damien. The smirk he once had has turned into anger. "Damien why don't you go out and play with Vabri. He needs to run a little" I say and Damien does just that.

"That son of a bi---" he says but I cut him off. That was my mother he was about to swear.

"His a young boy" I say. The little boy is just trying to make friends with him.

"Why does he have to be so arrogant and annoying. You spoiling him" he yells at me. I move from my couch to his. I put my hand over his shoulder.

"If you just be nice for once he'll sure be nice also. Respect is earned" I say. Damien just hurt Vallys ego. His ego is bruised and his lucky that Damien is a small boy cause he was going to get a beating of his life.

"Ugh fuck. Spear me the details...." he says.
"Be nice and he'll be nice I promise" I say and kiss his cheek. Ever since Damien moved with us he has been giving him the cold shoulder and it has made Damien do the same.

"I am nice. I gave him a home. A Fucking bed with blankets......" He says angrily.

"That's not enough. A home without love is not enough and I'm sure you know that...." as I'm about to finish my sentence his phone rings. He takes it and declines the call.

"I'll go check on him" he says getting up and leaving me in the house alone.

"Welcome back Damien. How was playtime?" I ask Damien who comes just in time for supper.

He has messed both his pyjamas and hands with sand and there is some in his hair.

"It was nice. We played really well. I taught Vabri how to roll and sit" he says happily. He is used to the farm maybe that's why he got himself dirty.

"Where's Vally?" I ask him.
"He was outside but not by me" he says.

Where could he have gone?. I thought he was going to make things fine with Damien but it seems like he has got much more important things to do. If I get a hold of that phone then I will find my answer.
