We pull up at the Ellis's mansion with guards following behind us. It sometimes gets irritating having them with us but I would not complain because last time I complained, we got attacked by a whole lot of fan girls.
We stop right in front of the entrance of the mansion as Daniel gets out first, I open my door but I'm stopped when I hear my name been called "yes, Damien" I turn around to face him but to see a frown presented "you not happy" he tilts his head towards his right as if his observing me, I gulp because it was definitely not a question but more like a statement "that's not your business" I get out of the car to see Daniel talking to his 'amazing' mother.
Her eyes lands on me, I smile but she turns back to her son. I shut the door and stand there so I don't interrupt their conversation like the last time "Ah mother!" a shout sounds behind me as I turn around, a hand on my chest "what the hell is wrong with you!?" I whisper angrily at Damien, he looks down at me but ignores me "Damien"
The way she says his name, it sounds like the tone you use on someone when they tried killing your loved one "how not nice to see you again" Damien says but he stands next to me not moving to even greet her properly. She rolls her eyes at him and grabs onto Daniel's arm, pulling him up to the house "seems like we are the black cows of the family" my eyebrows raise up as he hooks an arm around mine "you do know it's black sheep" he looks down while we walk up the stairs "I'm unique, princess"
I drop my hands from his and grab my dress, making sure I don't trip and embarrass myself "don't call me that" I sigh heavily and walk ahead of him. I greet the house keeper and walk to the dining room where I hear voices. I see the whole family but except his sister just great "Hello Skylar" Steven, Daniel's father greets me but when his gaze lands on Damien he turns away and walks to Daniel "why did you bring him here?" he said it more of a whisper but it was intentionally loud "his back after 9 years dad, I don't see an issue"
Steven shakes his head and walks to the head of the table, taking his seat "bring in the food" he sets a napkin on his chest as a whole lot of maids walk out with trays in their hands, laying it on the 14 seat dining table "babe, let's sit" Daniel takes my hand in his as he places himself next to his father and I sit next to him.
I hate the way they act, it always has to be all prime and proper. I started dressing different after I met Daniel's family and I have to act very differently in front of them. I set a napkin on my lap while I hear a chair scrap next to me, everyone looks up and Damien flings himself on the chair, almost knocking down some cutlery "watch you manners on the table boy!" he throws his leg on the table and my eyes widen, his mother is going to have a panic attack.
"PUT YOU FEET DOWN!" told you his mother stands up, glaring at Damien with such anger "why should I?" Daniel sighs and stands up "Damien, please put your feet down" Daniel is basically begging him but he continues to sit there stubborn "this is the reason why I didn't want him back here Daniel! But you don't listen to me! I want him out of my house now!"
I sit there in bewilderment, confused to what's going on. Daniel lowers his head, why are they been so rude? I stay quiet as I see war unfold in front of me "Gabrielle, call the guards to get this-" Steven points at Damien "bastard out of my house" Damien chuckles as Steven walks out of the dinning room.
"Daniel" I pull onto his sleeve but he yanks his hand away "not now!" I frown at him, his behaviour sometimes just stinks "security!" 6 buff men with suits and guns out run into the house ready to attack but when they see nothing is happening, they lower their guns "what happened, Ma'am?" one of the guys steps forward tucking his gun away "remove this imbecile out of my house"
The guards look at Damien and the one who stepped forward takes out his sunglasses "Damien, you back?" Damien stands up, smirking "my man" he shakes his hand and hugs him "how are you?" the guy smiles and nods his head "I'm good-" Gabrielle interferes in their conversation "RICK! Stop been friendly and remove him out of our premises!"
Rick bows his head and anyone can sense his confused with what to do "don't worry, mother I will leave by myself and either ways I never wanted to step in your house after all" Damien salutes the guards as he walks out of the room, I hear his steps fade away and Daniel turns to his mother "we will take your leave now, mum" she just nods but quickly points at me "say a word about this to anyone and you will see what I can do"
My eyes widen and my hands treble, ready to give her a mouth full but Daniel steps in front of me aw his going to take my part "I will make sure of that" I frown at his words as he grabs my hand and drags me out of the dining room "what was that!?" I question him once we outside "I don't want to talk about it right now, Sky"
I pull away from him "I don't accept the way you and your mother spoke to me in there" he sighs and runs his hand through his hair "I'm not in the mood to do this right now" he walks away, opening the car door and getting in. I walk down the steps, ready to give him a piece of my mind but he drives off "mother fucker" I whisper, talking my heel off and throwing it at the car but it misses.
"I never seen a girl throw a heel at Daniel" I roll my eyes, can my day get any worst? "what do you want now Damien?" I kick my other heel out and walk barefoot while all the guards give me weird looks. He jumps of the pillar and jogs my way "you got a phone?" I stop and stare at him "who doesn't have a phone in this generation?" I lift my dress up and pull my phone out which is tucked in my jeans pocket.
"who wears a jeans underneath their dress?" his head is once again side ways as if his looking deep into my soul, trying to figure me out, I ignore him and just continue walking out of the Ellis property "can you at least get an Uber?" I spin around as he almost bumps into me "don't you have a phone?" I cross my arms, annoyed with the current situation and I'm holding all my anger in to take off with Daniel "my phone is dead, my battery died on the plane"
I nod, since he said that so nicely without been annoying. I unlock my phone and request a Uber to pick us up "are you okay?" he asks me "yeah" he keeps quiet and I really appreciate it. I'm so angry with Daniel, his not sleeping in the room tonight.
I see a car pull up at the gate and the guard knocks on the car window but I shout out to them "it's my ride" the guard nods as Damien and I walk together to the car as we both get in "Good Afternoon Ma'am" he looks at Damien "sir" he reverses out and drives out of the driveway.
I lean my head on the glass window, ever since I met Daniel's family, our relationship has been rough. He started been rude and his mother would always control our lives we must do this and we must do that. I'm tired of this now and if he can't stand up for himself or me then I'm going to say goodbye because it's either he stops been a mama's boy or he losses me.
