Untold Truth.

Chapter 9

Myra's POV

After my encounter with Damien in the library I hoped, he will not come to the diner today. I know I was rude but I think he deserved it so I am not at fault. Though I could not help noticing how handsome he was. I sighed. For the matter, I have not gone on any dates and did not install a dating app on my phone. Leave-alone dates, I have never had a proper kiss with someone. You know like those romantic movie scenes, I have never had one well, except one when I was in middle school, and tell you what, the kiss was so disgusting because I had saliva all over my face. I cringed at the thoughts. Suddenly the bell rang indicating a customer's entrance. Let the day begin. I sighed again.

''I will serve those.'' Sienna said excitedly.

I said okay and continued with my work. A few moments later Sienna came back but she seemed angry.

''What is wrong?'' I asked her.

''They want you.'' She said angrily.

Okay 

No not them I said as I approached the table and I saw Damien and his usual friends.

''Hi?''

''Hello,'' the grey-eyed one said. Am Joaquin and this is Tony, Lars, and Leo he said pointing at them and they all said hi. ''Lastly, Damien. He said with a dramatic sigh.

I giggled and they all looked at me. Awkward. ''I... um... what can I get you.'' I said struggling with words.

''We would like the same,'' Tony spoke. And I left immediately to get their food.

Damien's POV

''Joaquin I see why women like you,'' Tony said.

''Because am handsome I know.'' He replied. ''She is beautiful too Damien.'' He added. 

''and why are you telling me.''

''do not think we did not notice how you are stealing glances at her,'' Joaquin said. And the four men looked at me. 

''She has a child.'' I blurted. 

''She does?!'' They all said at once. '' What did I say yes, she does and for all, I know she might be having a boyfriend or...''

''So, you like her? Huh,'' Lars asked. 

''You do?'' The others asked in unison.

''You all are the dumbest people I have ever met in my whole existence and I do not like her. YET.'' They all burst out laughing.

''Here you go.'' Myra said. 

''Damey! Someone shouted. I turned around and I saw Gia running towards our table. 

''Oh hi, Gia I took the child and held her in my lap. Myra was surprised.

''Baby what are you doing here? you are supposed to be at the daycare with Miss Emma.'' She asked alarm in her voice.

''Yes, but Miss Emma fell sick, and we had to go home the van dropped us to our home,'' Gia replied. And Myra relaxed a little bit.

''Hello? Gia said to the men in front of her and all their features softened. They all introduced themselves to her. 

''Let me take her and we will leave you to eat,'' Myra said extending her arms to take Gia.

''No, it is fine she can stay we will take care of her,'' I said.  I like Gia so I did not mind her staying with us.  

''No, I...'' She tried to say but Gia beat her to it.

''It's okay Mommy I will stay with Damey,'' she said.

''You sure?'' She asked.

'' yes, mommy.''

''Okay, I will come for you after some time okay.''

''okay.'' 

Myra's POV

I do not know this man and he is already a best friend of my daughter's. The whole time I did not remove my eyes from the table but Gia on the other hand talked with all those men and she seemed to be enjoying their company and I was here worried to death. Many food orders started coming and I had to serve the customers. I checked my watch, and it was late. I went into the changing room, changed my clothes, picked up my bag said goodbye to Mrs. Mabel, and proceeded to take Gia. Gia was already asleep.

''Hi, let me take her,'' I said. 

''It is quite late maybe we can drop you at your place?'' Damien said.

I hesitated. I mean it was quite late but accepting a lift from a stranger is not me. I wanted to oppose but Tony spoke.

''Yeah, we can drop you. I know what you are thinking but we are not like that.'' He spoke. Trying to make me feel at ease. 

''Okay fine,'' I said not sure, but God help me.

Damien handed me Gia and I placed her on my shoulder and wrapped a blanket to prevent her from catching a cold. I followed the men outside and I saw Damien take out his phone and typed something. After some time, a car pulled up. It was a seven-seater luxurious van. we all got in and I gave the driver my address. The whole ride was silent. Suddenly we arrived at my apartment and all men were looking at me and then outside questioningly.

''Is this where you stay?'' Damien asked.

''Yes, '' I said while alighting from the car.

''This place looks dangerous,'' Joaquin added. I was not disturbed by their probing questions. They were worried.

''Yes, it is a dangerous place but do not worry,'' I told them.

''Let me walk you to your door.'' Damien offered and I did not refuse. They all followed until I reached the door to my apartment. ''Thank you all I hope I did not disturb you,'' I said. 

''No, you did not we enjoyed Gia's Company,'' Joaquin said. I said my goodbyes and entered my small apartment. I know this is not the best place, but I do not have enough money to move out as soon as I get it, I will be so out of here. I wouldn't want Gia to grow up in this area especially where someone threw her. I sighed.

I know it was a long ass chapter but I hope you will enjoy it.

Lol it is not long,.
