Chapter 4

Felicity's POV

If you ask me why I immediately accept Damon's offer despite what was written in the contract. Well, it's always been my main reason and it is to gain more money. 

From this day on I will only call him by his name ' Damon ', no more exception even at meetings or even if we're with other employees. 

I really can't imagine living with him, especially that we both hate each other and always argue on something we stand for, well that's based on my observation for the last two meetings                I had with him.

 It's 11 in the afternoon and we are in this fancy restaurant, named. ' Raileighs Restaurant and it is just near the Wroblitz Boutique where we are heading to after lunch. 

" Can we just eat at a cheaper restaurant?" I asked hesitantly as I saw the prices of the food on the menu. 

He just raised his brows to me and signaled me to just choose whatever food I like to. But he'll I can't decide! Not when the cheapest price is 200 dollars, heck that's already a one-month rent of my condominium.

" What's your order?" He asked as he noticed that I'm just staring out of nowhere calculating how much would it all cost if I order three dishes on the menu and a glass of additional champagne.

" Hmm.. I'll get what you have Damon " I lied.

I already have these three dishes in my mind but I can't say it to him. 

He's looking at me intently, not believing on what just I say. He was grinning at me, so I was kind of feeling uncomfortable.

Shoot! I forgot he's a billionaire man and can pay for whatever I wanted to have. I smirk at him and I saw how his reaction changed like a flicker. 

Got you, Damon! You'll be going to pay for what I will eat. And I'm telling you I eat like a pig and like there's no tomorrow. That's how a heavy eater I am.

" I have changed my mind. My order is... Smoke shack ribs, Chicken Pad Thai and Borscht, traditional Russian soup and a glass of Veuve Clicquot champagne please " 

He looked at me challengingly, and I just smile at him confidently. 

" Is that all sweetie? You can add more as long as you eat it all and don't waste any single bit of it. Then I'm glad to pay for whatever you like" 

Wait! He really is challenging me, well maybe I'll add more later huh. Let's see how much this Damon could take. 

 I slowly nodded my head, and smile sweetly at him. 

" Yes, that's all for now my sugar daddy," I said as I let out a soft chuckle. I saw how his eyes widen at the name I called him, and it made me chuckle even more.

He just shakes his head and lets out a sigh. Damon calls for a waiter and ordered our food. 

I just stare at him, examining every detail of his face. And just like my first impression of him, he's very handsome like some Greek Gods. 

" Stop staring it's rude and anyway you can stare at it all you want if we started living together," he said maliciously.

" No! Oh my God Damon, sorry to pop your bubbles but I wasn't staring at you. You see I was staring at the guy behind you " I told him as I point using my middle finger the guy whose smiling like a pervert at me.

Damon put my fingers down at looked at me angrily. See? He's easy to piss off, and I enjoy it. The more he gets angry the more handsome he is. Except that he's fearful when he's angry.

" Don't use your middle finger when pointing someone Felicity Centola! Have you lost your mind? Don't you know the meaning of it!?" 

Again, for the millionth time, I let out a chuckle. God! He's overreacting, he's acting like my mother now. 

" Yes of course Damon I'm not dumb to not know what it means. I'm just getting used to pointing someone or someone using this middle finger of mine " I said as I raise my finger and look at him playfully. 

He tightly clenched his jaw, controlling his self to outbursts out of frustration he is now feeling because of my stubbornness. 

I suddenly put down my finger when he gave me a deadly look. 

I just used my phone instead to keep myself entertained while waiting for the orders. 

I was watching a wrestling video, I put on earphones so I could not disturb other people. I was enjoying it too much but whenever I saw how terrible the situation of the wrestler is, I also let out a sound, as I put myself in the shoe of the wrestler I'm rooting for and feeling like I was the wrestler who received an attack and a series of punch from his monstrous opponent. 

" Hey! Hey! Could you please stop it! " I may be wearing an earphone but I heard Damon's voice.

I pull off my earphones and look at him confusingly. 

" Stop what? I'm just watching and enjoying this wrestling video Damon. So, mind your own business" I told him frankly and stare at him sharply.

Well, he's ruining my mood to watch this video. 

" Yeah, how can I mind my own business if you're moaning there and disturb other people in this fancy restaurant," he said mockingly which made my eyes widen because of the shock.

What did he just say!? I'm moaning? Really huh?

" Hey I'm not moaning Damon, it's just you and your dirty mind," I said as I roll my eyes at him.

" Really? Cause to me you're moaning loudly and look around you, the people are looking at you wondering what you're doing " 

What the hell! As I roam around my eyes, I just saw the judgemental eyes of the people in this freaking restaurant, their stares directed at me made my stomach churn. 

My God! That was so embarrassing! I was just watching the video and I didn't notice what sound I already made in this public place. 

I bowed my head as I realize the mistake I made. That was so damn gross. I just want to disappear here right away because of the embarrassment.

I stayed silent for a while, same with Damon. Well, he's always silent and just talks when it's necessary. Unlike me, who has a mouth like a machine gun, always ready to fire.

" Let's eat " Damon commanded. 

I didn't notice that food was already served at our table. And because of what happened a while ago. I think I lost my appetite to eat for lunch.

But it's just what I think not how I feel. Because when I see the delicious and tempting food in front of me. I'm very ready to eat, it's a now or never situation so I won't let it pass.

" Are you very embarrassed? " He asked not looking at me.

Damn him! I just want to forget about it and just give my whole attention to the food I'm eating. But since he asked me that, sure thing I will answer him. 

" Yes of course. Who would not be embarrassed if there's a lot of people who witnessed you moaning in public " I said as a matter of fact.

He just nods his head at me feeling contented with my answer. But later on, I saw him shaking his head as if he did not agree with what I just said.

" It's okay to do that in public," he said seriously.

" What!? Do you mean it's okay if I moan in public or someone moans in public!? Is that how pervert you are Damon!? " I can't help myself but to raise my voice at him.  

That even the sound of violin seems in a low sound because of my freaking shocking voice.

But really? He said it's okay to moan in public. I put down my fork and wipe the corner of my mouth with the table napkin. And look doubly at him.

" Do you want me to be more embarrassed huh? It's that what you want Damon the reason why you are schooling me is that it is okay to moan in public? " 

Damon just smirks at me and drinks his champagne before eyeing me.

By the way, he looks at me, there's a mockery in it. 

" Felicity sweetie, what do you expect? You're living in a liberated country. It's been already two or three months that you live here and still do not know about it. If your pretty brain can't understand what I'm talking..." he paused a bit and drink champagne again.

 I saw how he licked his lips to devour the champagne in it, then continued talking.

" As you look around in New York, you could see a lot of people kissing in the public, making out in the public or worst even have sex in public be it, teenagers or adults. So now, I'm telling you to don't be embarrassed for moaning here. There's a lot more worst than that sweetie " 

I can't utter any single word and I honestly don't know how to answer him. I mean he's not asking me but I just don't know what to say to what he just said.

Nevermind! I'm here to eat anyway so why not just eat peacefully.

As much as I wanted to finish all the foods that I ordered. I can't because my tummy is now so bloated because I'm very full. 

Damon looks at me sharply and then looks at my plate as if telling me to finish it all or else.

" I'm very full I can't eat for more Damon," I said as an explanation for his questioning eyes.

" Maybe we can just take it out for later " I suggested to him but he just ignore me and call the waitress for a bill.

" Here's the bill sir," said the waitress as he give the hill to Damon.

I saw it! I saw how much the bill is, as I had the chance to take a glimpse of it as Damon to get his premium atm card that only rich people had.  

The amount that I saw in the bill is 1,659 dollars. When I was still working at the club, even a one-month salary cannot equal Damon's payment today for our simple lunch in a fancy restaurant.

Maybe I'll just cook for him every day and let him pay me for the food. 

Well, Damon McCartny Becket is not my CEO for nothing. Of course, he can afford every damn thing in this world. See? How unfair life is.

" Let's go " 

I forgot to tell you guys that Damon lets me use his coat, he said that he can't let me leave the company unless I'm wearing something like a cover-up. 

As we went out of that restaurant a sudden question popped into my head.

" It's our first date, right? Hmm... That explains why you bring me to a fancy restaurant for lunch huh. But you should have told me so I can get a picture of us two datings. So that your mother will believe you " I'm talking while trying to catch up with his pace of walking.

Since I wear high heels, I was having a hard time keeping up with him, but still, I try my best for it.

" Oh my God! " I shouted panicky when I bumped someone accidentally which causes me to lose my balance.

I closed my eyes and waited for my face to reach the welcoming grounds. But thankfully I didn't. 

I can feel an arm tightly wrapping my small waist so I could not fall. Good thing he catches me from falling, our position is so awkward right now. 

Heck, my brain is telling me that ' this is a perfect time and perfect position to kiss someone '. I have to close my eyes to stop whatever I'm thinking now.

He leaned more closer to me that our noses almost touch and because of my shocking expression I opened my eyes that are directed at him and I slap him real hard. 

We caught the attention of people walking through because of the resounding slap I gave to Damon.

I can feel my hand like burning because of the slap I gave to him, but I didn't mind it because my attention now is on one man in front of me. Like a predator eyeing for his prey.

He looks at me dangerously, so I pushed him away and tried to act calmly and composedly.

Damon seems so furious right now. I cleared my throat because of the lump of nervousness I have.

" One more violent action and you'll be punished accordingly," he said coldly.

Now it's not the time to make fun of Damon, and I'm serious! because he looks dangerously just by standing there with a serious grim face on.

I don't wanna be punished of course! 

And hell I don't know what punishment will I ever receive from if and only if.
