HazelLayla helped me and compose the message to Mr. Kane. I asked her to send to him on purpose. I don't want anything to do with him. As much as he doesn't want to associate himself with me. I think ny actions should be justify. After taking some pain killers, I felt much better. I was on for a second round sleep when my phone chimed with message. I forgot to switched off my data. I was swamped with messages from my girls all wishing me quick recovery. They're talking as if I'm sick. The cramps normally drag me down for a day or two and I will be back to normal. There were no more messages apart from theirs. Somehow, some part of me had a slight of hope that I will get a message from him. I know by then Mr. Kane has already notified him of the situation. I dropped the phone with a sigh and pull the duvet over my face. The aroma of food beat through my nostrils as I made my way out of Layla’s room towards the sitting room. My stomach instantly made a sound in hunger. The sleep and
DamonMy inside was dying to hold her. To feel her warmth on my skin to kiss away her pain. She looked pale and her eyes are somewhat not in good shape. I tried to get her to look at me yet her face was solely focused on what she was eating. This is what you wanted Damon. For things to be the way it is before. The voices in me echo. It was what I wanted but then again, why am I getting worried about it. Especially the cold air that was between us. “Why are you two quite?” Derek’s voice resonate to my eardrums. The two were the only ones doing the talking. Whereas we were both lost in our own thoughts. “Does that bothers you?” I asked back wiping my lips with the table napkin. The look Derek gave me in return was that of a knowing one. I know he's referring to Hazel. He want us to fix whatever we had. In this first place there isn't anything talkless of fixing it. “Excuse me” Our eyes went to Hazel that sat up. With her head still casted down, she made a walk out of the living room.
HazelThis time around, I kept a normal face as I made my way to the office. I can't get too excited like last time. Damon might give me the same treatment. But then, after what happened last night, I had the hope that things are getting better. It's not like he admit that he has feelings for me but the stage we are currently at, is mutual. I sigh in disappointment when I found the front door locked. Which means he's yet to arrive at the office. The urge to call him grew in me. I held it in knowing It will make me look like someone begging for attention. I was still on that thought when my phone rang from my bag. I found myself letting out a smile. I allow the phone to ring for some time before slidding the accept button. "I see you're thinking about me Miss Dalen" Was the first thing that came out of his lips. I rolled my eyes at his statement dropping my bag on my desk. Even after allowing the phone to ring for sometime. "I don't have time for that. Last time I checked I didn't ca
DamonI know it will sound weird to tell someone who you reconcile with not less than forty eight hours ago. I felt like telling Hazel about Mia will be better than hiding things. So as not to get the wrong impression. It's funny, but the expression on her face when I was talking with Mia. I would call that a pang of jealously. That sure whatever that in my heart is not one sided. I found myself smiling recalling her face. After lunch we went back to the office. I finished off the rest of the work before calling it a day. I left Hazel still on her desk. A reminder, I've not forgotten about the dinner thingy. I only ate dinner once at her house. It's okay to finish off the rest of the day. But I want tell her. It'd be a surprise. Mia might think because I'm friendly to her, I've let things go. Somehow my mind is telling me she has a motive. She didn't tell me the full story. She only said she came for a business. How she left me at the most time that I needed support saying she wants
HazelToday I decided to meet up with a my girls for. Why? Because it's weekend. Like, I don't want to waste the weekend just like that. I might as well have fun. We planned a picnic on one of the beautiful park in the city. Each one of us will bring something and we'd enjoy it together. I went for cupcakes and brownies. I have a thing for baking. You can say my second hobbies is baking. “Who do we have here. Miss D-” I nudge Layla on her side stomach before she could blabber something. The other girls are still unaware of everything. I’m not ready for another session of gossip. “Kylie am I sensing glowing on your skin?” I proclaimed squinting my eyes on her. Her skin was shining and more brighter than the last time I saw her. “Well, the man is taking good care of his baby” Sophie teased. We all burst out with laughter. “You guys should learn from me” Kylie answered back fanning her face. The ring from her middle finger didn't go unnoticed. I'm happy for her. Things are going great
DamonThe stillness that befell us was the kind that warmed me up inside. Hazel's arms were still wrapped around me as I felt her breathing on my hair. Hazel pulled away cupping my face in her palms. The gesture that make my body weak. It ignite something in me. "No matter how hard life is treating you, don't give up instead look up to your achievements. Life doesn't always come easy" I know all what she said is true but sometimes I feel like life isn't going in my favour. I don't know why Father doesn't want to understand me. No matter how much effort I put, he still finds fault in it. I'm a human not a robot. The conversation we had earlier this afternoon was heated to the extent that he threatened to take me down from my position. Why? Because I didn't agree with his new idea. We're still in the process of completing the projects at hand to think of another. And to think that the people he wants to do business with are people that we have no idea about them. Hazel's words brought
HazelOkay, I know whatever we’re going to do in Australia is strictly business but I couldn't help but pack extra clothes. I don't want to end up like last time. When I had only one outfit to wear for two days. I recall back to how Damon and I grew close from that span of time. I found myself letting out a smile as I zip up the bag. My eyes traveled to the wall clock. “I still have time before the departure” I said to no one in particular. I decided to face time my parents. We haven't spoke for a while. “Hi Mom” I waved at the screen. My mom half face was displayed on the screen. Her weird way of using a face time. “Hey Hazel. Why isn't my face showing well” A chuckle erupt from me in return. “Because you're not positioning it well. Keep your face straight”“Like this” She tilted the phone the way her face will be showing. Although it still didn't show fully. But who cares. As far as we can talk to each other then it's fine.“How are you doing dear? You haven't been calling latel
HazelWe arrived at Australia at the early morning. The weather was still dark at it's peak. A personal driver was being assigned to. I don't know whether Damon hired him or from the airport itself. I don't care to know. What I needed at that moment is to see myself rest. Damon doesn't seem to be tired a bit. Even when I woke up from the short nap, he was still working on his laptop. I wonder if he wants his head to explode one day from working. My mind ventured to the short conversation we had at my house. When he told me he feels like he's not a good son. He might not tell me the complete side of the story but I feel like there's more to it. From the little time I got to know him, he's someone who give his all. I can see how hardworking he is. He's giving the company his all. “Where are your thoughts” Damon said beside me broking me out of my trance. I didn't realize we have arrived our destination. I said nothing only proceed my way out. The morning breeze cascaded through my ski
