Mija Priestess

Part 45

I had decided on bacon, egg, sausages and mushrooms for breakfast. I had accompanied myself with some music so that I didn't get bored or overthink while cooking. Just as I was dishing up, I was made for loving you by Kiss came on. It was one of my all time favourites and I couldn't help but smile whenever it was on. I started dancing around the kitchen with a frying pan in one hand and the spatula in the other. What I wasn't expecting was to spin around and see Damian stood at the door in his boxers watching me.

"Mierda Papi. You scared me. How long have you been there? How long have you been watching me? There's a name for people like that you know."

"Long enough Mija." Damian made his way over to where I was standing still holding the spatula and frying pan. He took them off of me and placed them on the side before kissing me good morning and then singing along. "No truer words spoken Mija than this song right now."

"Glad that you think so."

We finished dishing up breakfast and decided to eat at breakfast bar in the kitchen with the music in the background. Things felt a little tense though. "Are we ok Mija? It isn't like you to wake in the night and then wake up before me? Is there something on your mind?"

I continued looking at my plate while I answered. "No, why would there be babe?"

"I just didn't know whether or not I had scared you last night with what I said. I didn't did I?"

"No, not at all. Why would you telling me you love me scare me? I love you too and I meant what I said last night. Just must have been the excitement of yesterday keeping me unsettled. It's nothing to worry about Mi Cielo."

Damian smiled but looked confused. "When did you start calling me that?"

"Well your signature move is South of Heaven so only fitting I call you my heaven. Heaven to me means a better place where nothing and no one can hurt you and everything feels perfect, it just seems fitting that I call you it. Don't worry I will still be calling you Papi too."

Damian smiled even bigger as he shovelled another forkful of eggs into his mouth. We continued eating breakfast and discussed our plans for the day. "Are you sure you are ok with me meeting up with Curley for a few hours? Are you going to be ok? Curley is back for the next few weeks on R&R so I can postpone if needed."

"Damian, I will be fine. Do you think though that you can drop me off at the mall on your way? I fancy doing a bit of retail therapy but if I finish before you I will just grab myself an Uber. I can't hide forever and nor do I want too." Damian agreed and we finished our food before getting ready to go out.

Damian dropped me off at the mall as agreed and things felt good. I felt almost normal. This was the first time I had been shopping alone since living back in Florida. I grabbed a few new tops and a skirt from Hot Topic, a couple of bits from Torrid, a few new make up pieces from Sephora with my gift card and then treated myself to something from Victoria's secret before grabbing a Boba tea from Magic Pearl's.

I made my way to the seating area in the centre of the mall feeling confident and pleased with all that I had achieved. I gave Damian a ring to see how things were going with Curley. "Hey Papi, are you nearly done or would it suit you better if I got an Uber?"

"Do you think that you would be ok to grab yourself an Uber and get yourself home Mija? If you need me I can come and get you but I would need to come back to finish things off with Curley. I know how big of a thing today has been for you Mija." Damian sounded soft almost concerned yet proud from the other end of the line.

I paused for a second as I thought I saw someone familiar out of the corner of my eye. Thankfully though I didn't think that they had seen me. "I am great mi Cielo, I will make my own way home and I will see you when you get in. Do you fancy grabbing some Sushi for dinner on the way home though?"

"That's fine Mija, anything you want. Text me when you are home."

I promised Damian I would message, we said our goodbyes and I ordered an Uber. I couldn't shake the feeling though that I was being watched but in a place as big as this everyone was always watching everyone else. I got in my Uber, said hi to my driver and started the awkward chit chat that always feels necessary on these drives. Pulling out of the parking lot I still felt as though I was being watched and noticed a blue Sedan following us out and onto the highway.

All the way home I felt nervous and on edge as I noticed the Sedan behind us all the way. They would indicate after us and made sure to stay at least 2 cars behind. When my Uber pulled up in our drive the Sedan turned into our road and drove past the house. I entered the house and locked the door behind me.

I took my bags to the bedroom to unpack my items and noticed the Sedan drive back past the house in the opposite direction, slowly, almost too slowly. I shook it from my mind and continued unpacking my items before messaging Damian then going in the pool while waiting for Damian to get home.
