Two Face [ A Damianya Story]

Chapter 8

Anya was studying at her desk. When she was done, she went under her thick warm blankets.

She was hesitant to call Damian because she thought he would be studying. She accidentally pressed call. She was about hang up but he immediately picked up.

Damian: Hello?
Anya: Hello. Sorry I called! I think you are busy.
Damian: if it's you who calls then I am not busy...

Anya blushed. She giggled.
On the other side, Damian was blushing.

Damian: what's up?
Anya: are you free tomorrow?
Damian: yes.
Anya: I want to treat you to lunch.
Damian: okay but why?
Anya: remember how you took me to eat at a fancy restaurant?
Damian: yes?
Anya: now it's my turn to give you the full commenar experience!
Damian: Alright. See you tomorrow.
Anya: Bye!
Damian: Bye.

The next day, Damian arrived at Anya's home. He went up the stairs and was greeted by Mrs. Forger.

Damian: Hello Miss. Forger.
Yor: good day to you Damian.
Damian: is Mr. Forger home?
Yor: he is working today. It is a busy day at the hospital afterall.
Damian: well, when he gets home be sure to enjoy these chocolates with him.
Yor: thank you. Anya is very lucky to have a kind young man like you.

Damian blushed a bit and scratched the back of his head.
Anya came out of her room.

Anya: Hello Damian. Let's go.
Damian: goodbye Miss. Forger.
Yor: Bye. Be sure to have her back by 9:00 pm.

They got into the car and the driver started driving.

Damian: where are we going.
Anya: it's a surprise.

Anya wrote a note and gave it to the driver.
When they got there, he saw it was a simple restaurant elaborately decorated with flowers. It looked like a cottage you would find in the woods.

Anya: what do you think? I come here with my parents when my father has a day off.
Damian: it's quite simple, but I am willing to give it try.

When they stepped they were greeted by a server.

Anya: Hello Susan.
Susan: Hello Anya. It's nice to see you again. Where are your parents?
Anya: it's just me this time but with a special guest.

She grabbed Damian's arm and pulled him in.

Anya: meet my partner.
Susan: my, your partner is the great Damian Desmond.
Damian: pleasure to meet you.

They both took a seat and Susan gave them the menu.

Damian: I will just get the steak.
Anya: no you will not. You always order the same thing. I will tell you some options and you have to pick from them.
Damian: fine...

Eventually, Damian picked the grilled chicken with a side of broccoli. Anya got omurice.
Damian tasted the food.

Damian: it's surprisingly not bad.
Anya: I told it was good. After all, tried everything on the menu.

When they were done, they went for a walk.

Anya: what do you think so far.
Damian: the way you spend your free time is quite simple and that's a good thing.
Anya: I can agree with that. One time, Becky and I were hanging out. Becky just spent the entire day shopping. So typical of her.

They both laughed. There was a gust of chilling wind.

Anya: the weather has definitely gotten colder.
Damian: I saw someone who was selling hot chocolate. Do you want to get some?
Anya: sure!

They bought some hot chocolate and sat on a bench to drink it. The hot chocolate was enough to warm them up from inside out.
It started to snow.

Anya: snow!

Anya's cheeks were red not because of Damian, but because of the chilling weather.

Damian: we should probably go home. We might catch a cold.

Anya was shivering a bit. Damian pulled her in to help warm her a bit.

They got into limousine.

Anya: I am sorry sir. Can you crank up the heat all the way up?
Henry: yes miss.

The heat was turned up and Anya felt the cozy and toasty from the warmth of the heater.

It was 8:30pm by the time they made it to Anya's apartment.

Anya: Bye Damian!
Damian: Bye Anya.

As the car drove off he watched her climb up the stairs.
A few minutes into the drive, Damian got a call.

Damian: did Anya forget something?

When he looked at his phone his heart dropped.

Damian: father!?

He answered and there was no hello just a mad Donovan with an angry tone.

Donovan: what the hell is on the press Damian Desmond.
Damian: what is it!

Henry turned up the radio worridly.

Radio: Damian Desmond has a _______

When he heard these words he started shaking. They were being followed the entire time. He was angry, worried and scared. He wasn't worried about himself but he was worried about Anya.

Donovan: you need to end things with her this instance!
Damian: NO!
Donovan:.... I see, I see. Damian has grown up. Damian has matured. Damian can talk back.
Damian: can you at least meet her.
Donovan: no. A commander like her doesn't deserve a chance.
Damian: give her a chance.
Donovan: my answer is no.
Damian: then I'll tell the press about your little secret.
Donovan:....
Damian: so what's it going to be?

Before he can say anything else he hung up. But Damian did not care. He already knew the answer.
