"I have to carry you to our apartment?".
I just nod, he sighed getting out of the car, he opened my side of the door and he lifted me up and off the seat, he closed the door with his foot. I put my head on his chest closing my eyes, I thought by this time I'd already be in bed sleeping not getting home, the traffic was crazy, there was an accident. I put my arms around his neck, he looked down at me then shook his head.
He tucked me in bed."Do you want something to eat?".
"No, I just want ice cream".
"You do know ice cream will make you sick right? You can't be eating ice cream all week long".
"But it's hot".
"Water?".
"No, I want ice cream and a hug".
Damien looked down at me."Are you drunk?".
"It hurts, everything hurts".
"It's the time of the month?".
"Yes!".
He frowned taking off his shoes, he got in bed and I placed my head on his chest holding him, right now if he says anything stupid, I will kill him. He held my waist brushing it up to my back and that made it a bit better, ice cream would do too, I hate it when this happens, it's not everytime I get period pains but when I do I feel like I'm dying.
"I want ice cream".
"If you drink or eat something cold, it'll make it worse".v
I knew that but still, I closed my eyes burying my face in his warm chest. Sleeping like this is really nice but there's still so much one does not know about Damien, the pain went away. I looked up at him and he's fast asleep giving me time to actually study his face, he is not more than just good looking, he's pretty.
His jaws are chiselled, he has thick eyebrows and lips, I put my arm on his chest still watching him. He looks peaceful finally, I moved my finger up to his face brushing it, he didn't even move, would I date him? Yes, a lot but not now or anytime soon he has a lot going on for him and so do I besides I am still in love with Luke. I moved my finger rolling my eyes to the back of my head, Luke.
"Hey".
He watched me walking up to the kitchen counter, he always wakes up earlier than me and I have gotten used to it, he probably has been up 14 hours. He is not in the talking mood this evening and honestly neither am I, being a woman is by far the hardest job ever. I took a piece of apple and went to take a shower, I should probably move out now, why am I even still here?.
He wouldn't let me move out though, he wants to see me and protect me with all his might. I looked up at the mirror the scars on my neck are fading away but the ones on my chest and stomach are still there, I brushed them down to my stomach, he was so sure he had killed me, Parker is not wrong when he says I'm stubborn.
"How is the pain?".
"Gone".
He nod passing me a bowl of oats, I love oats."I love oats".
Amberemere HQ.
"I hope we will have a progressive meeting today".
"We have decided to give the mission to 7".
"Is 7 stable enough to handle this?".
"He's never even been to the field yet, 3 is...".
"The past, if 7 can't bring him back with him then what is the use of 3?".
"Are you saying...?".
"Yes, if 3 does not come back, we will destroy him, we have no other choice".
"When will 7 be ready?".
"In the next 24 hours".
"Good".
"Where is doctor Radebe now?".
"Safe house".
"Does 3 know about it?".
"Yes".
Director Kim nod."Good, get everything ready, he will go after her and when he does, we will be waiting for him".
Doctor Wang sighed."Are we all just going to put Doctor Radebe's life in danger?".
"Doctor Radebe's life is already in danger".
"We're trying to protect her".
"By using her as bait?".
"Let's vote shall we?".And everyone except Doctor Wang raised their hands, Director Kim looked at Wang."Majority rules".
Doctor Wang ended the conference call, Director Kim also ended his, his guards looked at him.
"Make sure Wang does not do something that will get him killed, he is one of the best".
"Yes, sir".
"Keep Radebe in the safe house, get ready".
"Yes, sir, we have found a way to take the reporter".
"Good, use it".
Damien's place.
Being a woman is not easy, period pains are not easy but having Damien is nice, he then gave me a cup of hot chocolate, waffles and croissants making me chuckle, he thinks I'll eat all this right now?. He looked up at me when I didn't eat and he just found me smiling.
"What?".
"Nothing".
"What?".
"You're cute, thank you for taking care of me".
He looked away making me smile."It's not like I had a choice, I thought you were dying, do you still want a hug?".
I stood up and got closer to him, he smiled looking down at me, he stopped and moved back, he teared my t-shirt off leaving me in a bra and my panties showing, he took another step back. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath before opening them again and he just stood there looking down at my scars. I use to look at myself like that whenever I saw myself in the mirror.
He is probably asking himself how I got them and whether he could have stopped it from happening, he then looked up at me our eyes meeting and I just slightly smiled assuring him that I'm okay. Everything is okay. He got closer to me pulling me to him, his hand at the back of my head pulling me down to his shoulder. The other hand on my back.
I kissed his shoulder before moving back and he looks really sad, he moved his hand down to my chest, brushing the scars, he then looked up at me and I just let him. He brushed them up from the stomach to my neck turning my head left and right, he then moved his hands up to my face holding my face in his hands, his eyes on mine.
"Who did this to you? The man who was training you? Where does he live? Do you have his address? Does he have any loved ones? Is...?".
I held his cheeks."Woah, breath, it wasn't him".
"Who then? Parker?".
I actually smiled."No, he is in jail, he got arrested".
"He hurt you like this? Why? Why would anyone hurt you like this?".
"People do a lot of things that none of us have answers for or even understand".
"I'm so sorry someone did this to you, I promise to protect you with my life, I will go visit him in prison and I'll break his hands".
That too made me chuckle, he reminds me so much of Luke, he is a nicer version of Luke, he then pulled me to him holding me really tight. He really would break his hands, he pushed me back looking down at the scars again, he closed his eyes kissing my forehead he then pulled me to a hug. If we had met before HE did this to me, Damien was gonna kill him. Also if we had met before Luke, I would have dated him, I smiled.
