"Miss Nkosi, your father would like you to come home".
"I'm busy, working".
"It wasn't a request".I stopped and just looked at him, cracking up."I don't appreciate you laughing at me".
"Sorry, tell your boss, I said I have a job here, I can't just pack up and leave just because...".
And he grabbed me by arm pulling me to the door, kyle stood up and I just shook my head, one thing about Parker, he doesn't care who you are, he will knock you out cold. If I go home today there's no coming back till dad decides so, he stopped letting go of my arm, I looked up and Damien just stood there.
Parker gritted his jaws walking past him, Damien's eyes on the arm Parker was holding, he pulled the door opened and he held it looking up at me, I'm very disobedient, he marched back grabbing my arm again. Damien grabbed his arm too, tightening his hand, he then looked up at him, I swallowed hard, Kyle's bar is about to be ruined.
"Let go".Parker said clenching his jaws.
"Damien, please don't fight".
Damien ignored me."Let her go".
Parker let go of me, he turned around throwing a punch, Damien just moved back and Parker smiled, I moved past him to Damien and I stood between them facing Parker. They shouldn't be fighting against each other, they should be friends. Damien pulled me behind him, I just looked at him, I was standing between them to stop them from fighting.
"Olwethu, I won't tell you again".He took a step forward and Damien stood a bit firmer."Your father is waiting".
"Damien, do not fight, I got this".I walked up between them again."Tell my father I'll come home for the weekend".
"I don't think you understand, he wants you home, today".
"If you take me against my own will, that will be kidnapping".
"Can you stop being stubborn for once and come with me?".
"And will you listen to me for once, I'm working and my boss is now pissed".
He looked up at Kyle who just looked away and he just chuckled not even showing any teeth, thanks Kyle. His phone rang, he only looked at it then smiled, he is a gangster, no doubt, probably a hitman, definitely a hitman. I wonder how many people he's killed for my father, did that man have to be my father though?. Parker walked past us and out the door, still smiling.
There's nothing I'd like more than to slap him, even if it meant being the last thing I do because he would kill me after that. He got in the car and drove off, I just stood there watching the car till it drove off, I screamed probably scaring everyone in the bar, Damien, I turned around and found Damien still staring at my arm.
"You, what are you doing here?".
"Me?".
I just looked at him then walked away to the counter to get my note pad and pen, I'm mad at him and I don't know why, yet but I will know soon and he walked up to me standing behind me. I stopped everything again and turned around.
"You didn't finish breakfast, so I brought you something to eat".
I looked down at the bag then up at him then the bag again, I wanna slap him too, what is wrong with men today? Does he really think I want food right now?.
"Are you shitting me Damien? Food? You think I want food?".
"Sorry, I'll just leave".
"Leave? Then why did you come here if you are leaving already? You're driving me insane!".
"Because I don't know what you want from me and stop screaming".
I'm going to kill someone today."I want you to talk to me, Damien! Stop saying I'm fine, I'm okay, it's nothing every fucken time!".
And he just looked at me like I'm the craziest person he's ever met, I don't like how he makes me feel, I feel too attached to him, I feel like I've known him all my life. He just stood there still holding the bag, he slightly smiled then took my arm giving me the bag making me wanna smack him, he got closer to me our shoes touching he then pulled me to him giving me a hug.
Everything feels real, Parker was here, all these people are here and he's also here, it's all real, the hug is real, why he's doing this to me now? Nobody knows. He buried his head on my neck, making my heart jump out my mouth, his lips touching my neck, he then moved back, brushing the top of my head before bending over so he would be the same height as I.
"I'll see you at home".
I just stood there staring at him, my heart beating really fast and he smiled making my knees weak, Kyle just stood there frowning. He then turned around and walked out the door without even turning around again. Kyle walked up to me taking the bag and he took out my lunchbox making me look up at him.
"So, you two are now dating?".
"No".He just smiled, looking at me, I took my lunchbox."We're just friends so stop smiling and stop looking at me like that".
"Sure, I'll see you at home, babe".
"You are really annoying".
He smiled, again."If not me then who?".
"Ha ha ha".
"So, are you going to your dad's?".
"No, Damien has been acting weird lately and I think he's catching a cold, I can't leave him alone".Kyle just looked at me with a smile, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head."Shut up".
I then smiled, realizing I just said that and I meant every word, I am not going home after my dad summoned me and all because Damien is not okay. What if I start falling in love with him? What if I already have fallen in love with him? I can't fall for him. Get a grip of yourself, yes you like him, a lot but you still need to figure out everything about him, who he really is and there's still Luke.
There's no denying it, feelings for Luke never really died, you can never unlove what you once loved, it's impossible and spending more time with him is bringing everything back. I looked down at the lunchbox and sighed and as if my day isn't bad enough, a bunch of reporters found out where I work and they just budged in. Kyle threw me the backdoor keys, I took my bag and ran out.
