Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

The Golden morning Ray’s seeped in through the opened dark curtains and fell on a figure who lay peacefully on the bed..

Her lips curved into a smile causing a line of worry on the forehead of Damien..

He pushed the food cart in, which contained the breakfast he just ordered for her..

Damien walked to the bed and placed the back of his palm against her forehead to check if everything was alright with her..

Her smile only broadened by his actions which made him a bit more confused, he got that she was a really weird lady but this was a bit too much..

Her eye lids fluttered open and a breathy sigh escaped her lips, her smile died down when she saw Damien peering down at her intently..

“What-

“I got yoy breakfast.. come on, go brush up”

However, Olivia was left in a daze, why was he nice? she had noticed his behaviour towards her had changed lately..

She suspected that he was up to something but regardless, she stepped out of the bed with his help..

“Hurry up”

Olivia gave a forceful nod and left for the bathroom, she tried to wrap her mind over what was going through his mind but found nothing..

She stared at her reflection for a while in the mirror, the incident from yesterday oozed back into her head..Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Her hands gripped the washbasin, if Damien hadn’t come on time, she doubted if things wouldn’t have gone a little farther..

Sandy yawned lazily walking out of her room, she itched her head as she made her way downstairs still in a drowsy state..

Last night was a bit wild, since they decided to have an all girls night, they basked under the moonlight, drank, ate, danced, sang, laughed, chatted away happily and a lot more that she couldn’t recall..

A knock on the door startled her a bit, she groaned out in frustration and walked to it, she pulled the knob and poked her head out a bit to know who it was..

Her lips parted staring at the tall young man in front of her, she took a peek behind him to see two men in black standing next to an expensive car at the background..

Nathan’s brows creased, he took one more look at the house to confirm if he was at the right place, and hell yeah! he was..

Sandy’s eyes widened “You’re here for Bianca right?”

He gave an awkward smile and nodded, Sandy took a step back in and opened the door wide for him to step in..

She closed the door behind her and made a little dance step, moving her waist from side to side…

“Please have your seat.. I’ll go get her”

Few minutes later…

Nathan stared at Sandy who stood behind the kitchen island in the open kitchen peering at him in the pretense of drinking from her mug..

He took a peek at his wrist watch, it’s been ten minutes and still no sign of Cassie or Bianca, he was already getting a bit uncomfortable by the interrogative stare from the woman across from him..

Luckily for him, a footstep descending down was heard, Bianca stepped out still in her face mask, she was completely oblivious to the fact that she just walked past a man sitting on one of the sofas..

She joined Sandy in the kitchen who was gazing intently at one direction, she nudged the latter who didn’t budge..

Bianca followed Sandy’s line of sight and was a bit startled..

“Look who came here for you.. isn’t he a little bit too-

“old?” Bianca asked cutting Sandy off her speech…

“No! he’s good looking but sadly we chose Xander, I’m contemplating on how to chase the young man politely without hurting his feelings”

Smokes came out from Bianca’s ears and nose when she heard what Sandy just spurted! why does everyone think that she was Nathan’s girlfriend? or lover? this was her mum’s boyfriend or man friend… whatever..

“Hey Nathan.. I’m sorry I took so long”

The two snapped their heads to the chirpy Cassie who just walked into the living room fully dressed for the day..

Sandy raised her palm over Bianca’s face when the two shared a kiss totally disregarding their presence like they were not there to begin with..

“Grown up things are happening..”

Bianca rolled her eyes and moved away from Sandy’s palm blocking her face..

“That’s my mum’s boyfriend not mine..”

Cassie itched the back of her ear weirdly when she spotted the two who were ogling at her, Sandy had a teasing smile on her lips while the other, who was her daughter ‘Bianca’ had a sneer on her face..

“Hi guys.. I didn’t see you there.. umm Bianca, Nathan and I have an urgent and pending matter to take care of”

Bianca folded her arm and tilted her head to the side, she stared at Nathan then back to her mum who was getting uncomfortable by her stares..

“Isn’t it a little bit too early to go on dates?”

Sandy placed a palm over Bianca’s mouth pulling her down a bit..

“Ignore her.. go on and enjoy your date!” she added with a teasing wink directed at Cassie, the latter reddened before she left the living room with Nathan..

As soon as they were gone Sandy flashed Bianca a glare..

“Look! everyone already has a boyfriend.. when will you have one? we have Xander who is ready to do everything for your sake –

Bianca groaned out walking away from the kitchen, not now!

“Come on aunt.. it’s too early for this.. I’ll get one when you get one for yourself too”

Olivia’s face froze as she felt Damien’s thumb brushing the corner of her lips, she licked the spot he just touched and faced him..

It was really awkward when he ordered breakfast for her and now he watched her while she ate, she felt something was off about his mood this morning..

“Umm.. about yesterday, I’m really sorry that I wasn’t there-

“You came.. so it’s fine, and thanks too for saving me from that pervert..” Olivia murmured, she pushed the tray away from her gently..

Damien’s hand reached for her blonde hair, he stroked it gently with a smile..

“Okay! what did you do?” She asked with a glare, his behavior was starting to creep her out, just why would he be nice to her all of a sudden?

Damien retracted his hand from her hair, he stared back at her with a serious expression on his face..

“I’m sorry”

Olivia arched a brow, she just couldn’t wrap her mind around what was going on, and what exactly was he apologizing for?

“For?”

“Everything, everything that I put you through because of my actions years ago.. it wasn’t really intentional-

She pulled her gaze off him, her heart ached whenever she recalled that night, and she wasn’t going to go down that lane..

“Damien.. I don’t want to talk about this”

“Because of your trauma?.. you’re not the only one who was traumatized by that night alright?”

Olivia got off from the bed and looked down at his figure sitting on the bed..

“You didn’t lose your v-card to a stranger, you didn’t get pregnant and got ridiculed by your peers! I faced all that! I faced criticism and everyone pointed fingers at me for having a loosed character! do you know how that feels?”

Damien rose up to his feet and suddenly engulfed her into an embrace, he didn’t care if she wanted it from him or not, but one thing he knew was that she really needed it right now..

“I’m really sorry..”

Damien cursed beneath his breath feeling a part of him rising, he groaned out inwardly, this was just a hug..

Olivia’s eyes widened feeling the bulge poking her belly, she pulled away from the embrace and pushed Damien to the bed..

“You pervert!”

His eyes widened when a pillow was smacked against his face..

“I’m dead” he whispered beneath his breath and this time the pillow smacked on his face harder than the last time, he could swear that he saw stars dancing above his head….
