The Unexpected

Chapter 28

I woke up.
I'm still in my dress from last night.
I get up out of bed and pick out some sweatpants and a tee shirt.
I go to the bathroom and change then brush my teeth.

I get out and head down stairs to the kitchen.

I see Damon with his body turned, I just see his bare back to me while he's cocking on the stove.
I walked by the coffee and saw there was a fresh pot.
"Hey sleepy head"
I herd Damon say.
"Hey"
"You changed"
"Yeah I did"
I poured myself a cup and grabbed the creamer out of the fridge.
"So your cooking?" I asked.
"Yeah I knew we were both probably going to be sleeping late so I just didn't want them waiting up for us"
Wow he really is kind to his staff, others wouldn't of done that at all, well that I know of.
But I'm seeing more of Damon's heart. It's not what everyone portrays of him at all.
"Your very kind to your staff"
He turns to me and smiles.
"I try to"
I smile as well and grab my cup and take a sip.
It's Starbucks, so good.
"Enjoying that coffee?"
"Yes so good, not like the other brands that's just plain"
He chuckles and grabs the pan off the stove and puts eggs on two plates.
He puts the pan in the sink and then goes in the oven and grabs cinnamon rolls.
"Wow you really do cook"
He laughs and says "nah this is" pointing to the cinnamon rolls.
"Out of the package"
I shake my head at him chuckling a bit.
"Go figure"
"But this" Damon points and the eggs.
"Was me"
"Well eggs are simple"
"True but still at least I can't mess up too much"
I shake my head and chuckle a bit.
He hands me a plate with a fork.
I grab it and sit by the table and start eating.
Damon soon joins and we just eat quietly.

"So what are we doing today?" Damon asked.
I shrug and still eat.
"Hmm how about movies since you fell asleep last night?"
"Yeah we can do that"
"Great"

We finish up and then I help Damon clean up and put dishes away.

"You ok Payson?"
I turn my head to Damon by the sink and see his face with concern.
"Yeah I'm fine"
Lie... I'm confused.
"Sure?"
He's going to keep going.
"Yeah"
I finish the dishes .
Damon goes behind me but I didn't realize but he starts tickling me.
"Damon stop" I start laughing.
"No not until you say your ok"
"I am"
"I mean you have to mean it"
"Damon please stop"
"No"
We both laugh and now I'm on the floor in the kitchen and Damon is leaning over me.
"Say it Payson"
"Fine I'm ok, I'm ok"
He stops for a sec and looks down.
"Sure?"
"Yes"
"For real?"
"Yes Damon" I chuckle a bit.
"Wow I'm interrupting a moment"
Wait is that Carter?
We both get up and see Carter on the other side of the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Damon ask.
"Just wanted to see what you guys are up to"
Damon looks at Carter a bit irritated?
"Ok?"
"So what's your guys plans today?"
"Well me and Payson were going to watch movies and chill"
"Sounds fun do you mind if I join?"
"Yes go home"
"Damon" I said.
"What?"
"Don't be rude, Carter your fine"
"Thanks Payson"
Damon shakes his head and grabs the wash cloth and towel from me and walks out of the kitchen.

What's his problem?
This is confusing.
"Why not we look at the movies?" I ask Carter
"Sure"

We go into the living room and look at movies.

Eventually Damon comes back in and sits on the couch.

"How about this?" Carter shows a movie.
"Sure" I say.
I sit by Damon.
"You ok?" I ask.
"Yeah"
"No your not" I say.
Damon looks at me like 'really?'
I smile instead.
He smiles and bit and shakes his head.

Carter comes and sits beside me and we watch the movie in silence.

Eventually Carter leaves after the first movie and it's just me and Damon.
"Finally" Damon says.
I look at him and slap him a bit.
"Not nice"
He shrugs and gets up and gets another movie.

He sits down again and put his arms around me.
He looks at me and smiles.
I smile back a bit and think what is happening?
Is this why he didn't want Carter here?

We just watch the movie and Damon either rubs his thumb in my shoulder or also places my legs on his lap and rubs his other hand on my thigh.

I'm so confused but I can't move.

I'm enjoying this but we don't have to fake date now.
Why didn't he do this when Carter was here?

We're alone and don't need to fake it.

I just focus on the movie but it's hard now when his thumb is rubbing against my sweat pants.

I just don't get it. I can't stand these feelings.
I don't want them.
But how do I stop them?

Eventually the movie ends and it's after 2.

I get up and use the restroom and then grab my phone.

I check social media and see it blow up.

All the pictures from last night, the media goings crazy over our kiss.

Even Damon posted on us.

I guess I should.
I see a few messages and Damon sent me pictures to post.

I do quickly and tag Damon, I see  there's even pictures of me and Victoria and even Carter and one of all four of us.

Then I shut off my phone and go back down stairs.

"So I was thinking we can fix dinner, then just chill" Damon said.

I smile a bit and nod my head.

We grab our things for chicken and some veggies and sweet potatoes.

I cut the potatoes and put them in a sheet pan to make fries and Damon puts seasoning on the chicken and puts the veggies in a pot over the stove.

while we wait we just watch t.v. And then grab what we need to put the food on.

We eat quietly. We've been quiet today but Damon's been weird.
It's like we're both in deep thought.

Like we don't know how to talk, like we're both trying to comprehend each other and what happens?

I don't know.
The rest of the day we just clean up the kitchen after dinner and I shower and just stay in my room and just go to bed after 9.
I just want my mind to stop running and just rest.
