"Where is he?" Alicia asked the butler immediately she walked in, with a lot of luggages following her along with her trusted best friend Jeanette by her side. Jeanette was trying to convince her about something when she ordered that the luggages she brought be taken to her room.
Alicia walked past me into Damon's room, she tried opening the door but it was locked from inside. She knocked continuously until Damon opened it for her. Alicia didn't wait for him to even greet her before she threw her hands around his shoulders.
There was this burning sensation in me as I glared at both of them, I really didn't want to stare but this feeling, I think it's.... jealousy. I glared at them so much Jeanette must be wondering what I was thinking because she too couldn't get her eyes off me by the time I had turned away.
Alicia's hands were all over Damon's face as she found each new places to kiss, when she finally came to his lips I notice how Damon took a step back which made a smile form . He came out of his room to see Alicia's mighty luggages being put in her room.
Damon turned to her, asking, "What is all this?"
With a smile she walked close to him and shove her hands into his, "isn't it obvious Damon, I am finally moving in" she said before finally resting her head on his shoulder.
Damon shrugged. "Haven't you moved in before? Why all this?"
"Dad kicked me out for supporting you, he is selling off his shares from your company and had called off the wedding without my approval, which is why I disowned him, nothing or no one can separate me from you Damon I will make sure of that" Alicia wiped away the tiny little tear that managed to form itself at the corner of her eye.
The last part of her words had actually hit me because I felt she was speaking directly at me.
"Alicia you know....." Damon wanted to say something but Beatriz came out of her room which brought everyone to her. Something that proved Damon as a momma's boy was when he walked to hug her, their hug got me so emotional, it was beautiful.
"I told you to stay away from that woman" Beatriz murmured while still in Damon's warm embrace. "Everything will be fine" she rubbed his back so slowly trying to calm him down while repeatedly saying how everything will be fine.
How can it be fine? There was no way Damon can recover but I trust that he will. Too much load has been put on him that I wish weren't. I may have disliked him since my arrival here but now that I know him a lot better now I know wish that I didn't.
"Yes it would!" Alicia said enthusiastically pulling out Damon's hand which was on Beatriz. Taking back his attention to her. "I will hire the best lawyers this world has to offer if it means that I go broke I won't mind since you will be safe, that alone will make me happy, there can't be a wedding without a groom right" Alicia maneuver back to the wedding case.
There was this weary look on Damon's face that showed how he was tired about this same topic. Alicia was always straight with her words especially when it came to the fact that she wanted to be married to Damon by all means necessary, she had given up family, friends and even wealth for him, any man that isn't Damon would be lucky to see her as a wife.
"Alicia let's talk about this later, please" Damon said in hushed tone so Alicia could only hear, but unfortunately it was loud enough for those close to them with triggered Beatriz interest in what was to be discussed later.
Beatriz demanded to know what was it that would be discussed later between them and her answers were given when more of Alicia's luggages was brought in. There was this smile on Beatriz face that shone so brightly and I figured she knew what was up.
Alicia wanted to explain the boxes but Beatriz stopped her, "it's fine...." She later looked at me then walked closer to hug me, "Thank you dear, I don't think we are taking care of you as we should, you are an angel"
Damon raised a brow at the hug given to me by Beatriz, he must be thinking what I did to get a hug like that.
My guess was correct when he eventually asked and Beatriz replied with a lot of praises which made Damon impressed at my action that he didn't bother stroking my hair in front of Alicia while saying well done at each every stroke.
The mood was lightened for a while but we can't escape reality, can we? It is sure to haunt us each day and there is no way in hell that you can avoid it unless you have magical powers or something.
Beatriz took Damon to her room so they could have a discussion regarding Rachel's death of which Damon had already been blamed for by the public. The hatred on Damon was soon to get worse after his suspicious release signed by the judge despite the evidence of magnitude brought in by the prosecutor with a claim that the evidence was inadequate and lacked real proof.
It was already past midnight and I was still trying to keep awake so I could finally have a one on one discussion with Damon.
I am very much aware of the sound his door makes when it closes, and most of the doors I've heard weren't his. His door makes this particular sound which is very much different than the others, I can even know the sound when I am bathing, eating, reading and even sleeping...... That is how much I have studied Damon's door.
I really didn't want to sleep without having to see him but eyes keeps closing shut each time that I force it to stay open.
*Bang* That's the sound! I don't know how but I was very much awake right now.
I tiptoed all the way to his room while taking a short break every five seconds, doing all this sneakiness while pregnant was real hard work. Without knocking his door opened. Damon was a bit surprised to see me and he showed it by asking, "What are you doing here?" His tone was blunt with me, I haven't even said hi and I had already regretted my choice of coming to see him despite all the eyes watching us and this is what he had to say, bloody ingrate.
Thinking that I had a sharp tongue to deliver a blunt response back at him but here I was stuttering like a fool.
"I am sorry" I manage to say after that embarrassing explanation, though I can't call that an explanation when I barely said anything.
Damon pulled me into the room while I was still battling with my stupidity. He locked the door, we can't have a season two of what happened before, that day we weren't even doing anything but you could see the hair on my arm stand still as I shaked with fright.
He leaned closer into my ear, I could smell his soap from his neck area. I closed my eyes expecting a kiss from him. Can you blame me, this happens when an over used action such as this is done, the movies are clear examples of this, the man will overpower the woman and then they end up kissing, it is that silly but yet again people still enjoy it....
"I thought you didn't want to see me again, you said that in our last meeting, then why are you here?" He asked again but this time it was calm and polite.
To be honest, I had no response to give. I was used to always going back to things I refuse not to do. It was best I open my eyes now that there won't be kissing tonight.
"It's either you miss me or you just want to join the others and ask about Rachel" He sighed, "If it's the second then I don't think I have the strength to respond, I am quite tired speaking about it"
"Quite the contrary I just wanted to know if you were fine and I did actually miss you" I admitted to him, there was no use hiding it when each day I dread that he avoided my face, infact I am grateful I did now that I have seen a smile on his face.
"Do you want to sleep with me?" His request was short, direct and sweet which left me with a beating heart.
What should I say to him? This would've been something I would want if I wasn't pregnant or is it possible to have sex while pregnant?
"You are giving it so much thought like as if I am asking to have sex with you, I just want you beside me like the last time, you actually give me peace of mind" He said mockingly.
It was a hot slap on my face but he cooled it off by saying I was his peace of mind.
"I actually thought...." Priscilla please leave the topic and stop fooling yourself. Damon was obviously pulling my legs.
"You thought what Liliana?" He asked, this is the second time he had actually called my second name today. His movement was sensual and..... "Is that what you would be wearing" he said pointing at my night gown which wasn't a problem only that he wanted to ruin the mood.
I could feel like a smile played on his face again when I stumble on my words again. Why does he keep doing this?
He took my hand and led me to his bed. Damon tucked me in before sleeping right next to me trying to keep me safe. I curled under him engulfing into his warm embrace.
I stilled myself from bringing up any conversation that would steal this night from me, this is the first time I am actually happy doing this crazy things.
The morning came in sooner than expected and I wished it didn't. Go back morning sun and bring back the moon, please. Though I was on the bed I can actually imagine my knees on the floor begging the sun to return.
There was an heavy knock on Damon's door that woke the both of us. The knock was heavier each time the person at the door hits it. I was shocked to see how late we both and woken up, 9 am and I am still on Damon's bed.
I bet on Damon that the person at the door was Alicia.
Damon quickly wore his robe and straighten out his hair. "Don't move" he said reassuringly and I nodded my head acting like I am super brave when I was a mess inside of me.
Like I had bet and thank God I didn't lose, it was actually Alicia. This is a season two of "the Surrogate underneath the sheets" that I was very much avoiding.
