27. The Terms

Loviana's POV

What the actual fuck was that.

You actually broke down infront of.... Well, what is he to me now?

My bestie's boyfriend's brother?

Too long.

Your to be husband?

*narrows eyes in unknown relation*

Okay okay.

Ex boss? Sounds good?

Better.

I actually cried infront of him. God, I didn't even open up to Sky about this. But somehow he seemed easy to talk to. Maybe it was all just because I was holding the baggage for too long. So long that it became too heavy to carry and he just was there at the right time to help me and just spoke the right words which hit the vulnerable spot in my heart and I just spilled it all to him.

But I have to admit. He is good at consoling me. I actually felt safe and relaxed in his embrace. I know I shouldn't but it just felt home. I never felt so safe in any other man's arms. Just his.

For that matter, has he lost interest in me? Yes, he is teasing me every now and then but maybe its just in a friendly thing.

Don't tell me you are thinking all this because you expected him to kiss and he didn't.

No.

Really?

Okay. Yes. I was expecting him to kiss me. I expected him to kiss me when he dropped me home but he just hovered his face over mine and then pulled away. I had my heart beating frantically in anticipation. Because God, I wanted to kiss him so bad. Every time he licked his lips, I just wanted to—

"Lovi, you up?" Sky called out from behind the closed door of my bedroom. I have been on the bed thinking about him ever since I woke up.

"Yeah." I stretched on the bed before I got up to open the door. Last night I made a grave error. I called my mom and told her about Damien.When I called my mom to tell her I will be visiting her with my so called boyfriend. She was ecstatic. She scolded me for not telling her all this time. I lied saying I couldn't find the right time with everything being so tangled. That was when Sky overheard my conversation with Mom. She got pissed that I didn't tell her but knowing all the burden on me she let me pass. But she's been a nuisance since then. She just latched to my back just like a evil spirit whispering evilness into my mind. But unlike the evil spirit, Sky only teased me saying he loved me, which I'm sure is not true. I mean, what man would choose me? She literally even made a name for our ship. What was that? Lovien. She annoyed me so much yesterday that I had to lock the door before I slept.

"Your husband is here." She shouted. All the air in my lungs got knocked out when I heard that. "What do you mean?" I asked just to confirm and hastily opened the door. "Hi." A deep voice rumbled from behind Sky and I froze. Damien?

What the fuck is he doing here?  That too this early in the morning?

On an instinct, I closed the door on their face and just pressed my back against the door in panic. I glanced at the clock and saw it was 8:45am in the morning.

Shit. You're late.

I practically ran to the bathroom. I could here Sky giggling behind the door. I cursed her in my mind. I witnessed the mess I was in the bathroom mirror when I glanced at it.  I had my hair reaching out in all direction. My face was a bit flushed mostly because I was embarrassed to meet him looking like a mess. I sighed and did all my necessary personal routine and then I got dressed in a pair of black ripped jeans and a tank top and a boyfriend shirt to cover my arms. I let my hair flow freely behind me. I clicked the door open and sucked in a deep breath before I stepped out. I saw him and Sky sitting on the couch. I was sure they were talking about Dan. I walked over and my eyes met his blue orbs which dripped of hurt. I wanted to apologize to him for closing the door on his face but he stood from the couch and said "Shall we?" He didn't seem anger but maybe he was a bit hurt. He wasn't smiling like he smiled when I opened the door.
