Just a step into the house and I could feel my tummy rumbling, it felt like I was about to puke all over the place--- eating too much can do that to a person.
*Grumble* the sound made from my tummy like my whole system flushed out and was ready for excretion, sweats formed on my forehead as the tummy grumbled several times, I thought how embarrassing it will be if Damon saw me like this but cared less when it got so serious.
I ran into the house like a mad woman searching desperately for the toilet. There were so many doors I needed to happen before I could find the glorious light shone on the toilet seat.
"Damon.... Where is the toilet?" I asked after my search bore no fruit.
"It's over there" he pointed at the toilet far hidden in the east, I ran over there and use my might to push open the door before anything bad could happen after the last grumble.
Smelling the horrible scent from my excretion I definitely had every right to feel embarrassed for myself. Damon knocked the door to ask if I was okay and here I am wondering if the smell didn't get to him to answer his question that I wasn't okay, he wasn't experiencing what I was experiencing because he didn't even touch his food.
"I am fine" I lied.
"Alright then" he said, I looked at the tissue holder and there was no tissue on it.
"Damon! Damon!" I called out to him with hopes that he heard my outcry, he came back, knocked on the door to show that he was listening. "I need some tissue paper, there isn't any here" I said and I heard him chuckled.
Oh my God, I am really embarrassed for myself.
"I'll go get some from the car, hold on...."
I waited for him to come while counting clouds in my head, he came afterwards at the three hundred and seventy seventh cloud. Damon left the tissue at the front of the toilet door and used it after had gone.
It was refreshing getting all of that out of my system.
Damon was busy on a phone call while I checked on something fun to watch on the television, there just wasn't anything fun except for documentaries on how to milk a cow.
"I already made the bed, how about you take some rest, I'll join you later...." Damon said dropping his phone beside the remote on the table, he had a frown on his face maybe it
I tilted my head to his direction, "How about joining me right now"
He hesitated for a little before carrying me bridal style all the way to the room, I was smiling the entire time..... The first time I had smiled since my mom's passing. Sometimes I feel like I am always the one nudging him to do something for me before he does it..... Maybe I am overthinking it.
When he dropped me on the bed, he kissed my cheeks before dragging the duvet over my body. "Have some rest" He switched off the light in the room and left.
There was something off about his behavior but I don't really know if it's because he is trying to be around me so I don't feel lonely or he was running away from something.
The next morning when I woke up Damon wasn't in the house, I checked around the whole vicinity but he wasn't there, even his car was gone and the tire print lines were still shown on the muddy ground and had dried a bit. It showed that he left since, maybe while I was sleeping.
I can't believe that Damon would bring me all the way here and just leave like that. I sat at the front of the house with my phone in hand and my face bent, my chest was really hurting that I was so foolish enough to think that Damon was the only one out of his family members to care and now he.....
He came back.
I got up immediately ready to confront him on why he brought me here just so he could leave like that. "How was your night?" He asked after stepping out of the car, my hands that were already in the air getting ready to offer him a slap fell down.
"Where did you go?" I ignored his question and asked mine, he seemed taken aback at the tone of my voice.
"I went out to get supplies for us since there was none, I would've love to take you along with me but you were still very much asleep and I just couldn't wake you" He replied taking off to take out the groceries from the back seat. "After breakfast we could go to my vineyard up the hill, there is something I need to deal with there" he took my hands while holding the groceries in the his other hand and led me to the door, that was when I remembered what I have been meaning to ask him.
His body stilled at my disapproval to hold his hand any longer, my face had changed but my tone of voice still stayed the same.... harsh. "Damon.... What about Alicia? You two were supposed to get married, did you?" I wanted a straight answer from him so I could be assured I wasn't doing anything wrong staying by Damon side
He tried taking my hands again and allowed him before he spoke, "When I saw you ran out that day, I thought maybe you were hurt by my decision of going on ahead with the wedding, so I called off the wedding right there but couldn't look for you cause I wanted to give you space but when I heard about your mom, I made sure that I had to come see you....." Damon slightly rubbed the tip of my fingernails while staring deep into my eyes.
"Damon I have been in situations not very similar to this but I had my heart broken several times, so I really hope you aren't playing with my emotions...."
He dropped the grocery in his hand, "hey..." He cupped my face while staring more deeply into my eyes, "I will never joke with your feelings so please cast those doubts away, you mean so much to me than anything in this world" he said trying to reassure me, it was a strong word "I mean a lot to him than anything else on this Earth" I really hope that he meant it as I hugged him back.
