The idea of visiting Damon's vineyard really intrigued me that I hurried off to the bathroom to take my bath and change into one of the dresses Damon bought while he went out to get some supplies for the house. I wore the earrings I had on yesterday and went out to see Damon waiting at the car, as usual he was talking to someone on the phone that he didn't see me walking towards him after I had locked the door of the house. Walking towards him, Damon stared me up before he cut the call. "Come here" he slide his hands around my waist while pulling me to him and kissed me on the lips, "As much as I want you to wear that dress all day, you can't" "And why is that? Don't I look good in it?" I asked. "Ofcourse you do, It's just that we are going over there to work, there has been a shortage of workers recently because of the increase in payment in other vineyards so they all left" he said and I frowned, how about he just increase the wages like the others did, why make me work? "I'll go back in and change into something comfortable" I said grumpily making a move to march back into the house.
He held me back, "You don't have to change now, I want to introduce you to my cousin while you are still in that dress, don't want him to mistake you for a worker" he opened the door for me and help wore my seat belt when I was seated. During the drive I rested my elbow on the door and rested my knuckles on my chin, I paid no heed to the conversation Damon had brought up and chose to nod and shake my head when needed but I gave no input when it came to words. Damon had asked if something was wrong and I shook my head signaling that I was fine meanwhile I was burning in me. The only thing that got me smiling was when we arrived at the mansion where Damon's cousin Brian lived and took care of Damon's inheritance which was the Vineyard. I had actually expected a large mansion right in the middle of the vineyard but it was nothing close to that, there were only bungalow houses spread around the whole place and a duplex. "Bro!" Brian yelled when he saw Damon, there were line of workers waiting to welcome Damon and I. After a handshake and hug shared by the cousins, Damon thought to introduce me but Brian concluded on his own without letting Damon speak, "Ahhh.... This must be our new sister-in-law, Elizabeth demise really opened the way for a beautiful one" Brian continuously tapped Damon's shoulder as he laughed. He extended his hand for me to shake, "Hi... I am Damon favorite cousin, I promise to take care of you...." He stopped to remember something, "yes.. Alicia" he said and my body went stiff, I looked at Damon so he could correct his misconception. "She is not Alicia... Brian, she is Priscilla" Damon corrected, which was still not to my taste as Brian gave me stern look like I was another woman Damon was going to conquer and dump as he always do. "I am sorry that I mixed up the names, I am getting stressed out from all this work, anyways I would've love to make it to the wedding like I said too much work" he stressed so Damon could heed to his outcry. Damon ignored him, he pressed my shoulders and said "Don't mind him" before he looked up at Brian who just finish signing off something only he knows "What about madame Carlotta?" Damon asked looking around the others who were standing behind Brian. "You know how she is when you tell her that you are coming back, she starts making huge preparations for your homecoming and it is always grand unlike when I return from a successful business trip" Brain grumbled. "I'll go fetch her" "That won't be needed" a middle-aged woman holding a stick spanked Brian's bum and I couldn't help laughing.... It was full deserved. "Madame Carlotta" Damon rushed to hug her, I have never seen Damon this happy before from just seeing a person that isn't even related to him..... except for me though. "Rico" she stroked Damon's hair. "I prepared all of your favorite food, now you let me go so I can breathe" she tapped his back and Damon released her. She looked at me and smiled, "You must be the woman that stole my Rico's heart...." I knew that my whole body was going to faint as she too stopped to think of a name. "It's Liliana" she said smiling and my heart leaped with joy. "You are even more beautiful than the way Rico describe you" She moved to hug me and I hugged her back while smiling at Damon. "Dude you didn't tell me you got another girl that you love apart from Elizabeth, may her soul rest in peace" he did a cross sign with his eyes closed. It's already been minutes and I already disliked Brian. Madame Carlotta held my hand as we all walked to the duplex, "Wait a minute...." Brian stopped us in our track, "Isn't Liliana the name of your baby?" "It is Brian" Damon replied calmly and I rolled my eyes, it was just remaining a teaspoon of anger before I explode on Brian. Brian led us to the rooms we would be staying in for a day, Damon was ready to negotiate for only a room but I was the one who said we should stay in separate rooms because I kind of feel Brian was suspicious of me and it's just a matter of time before he calls Damon's family about our whereabouts and Alicia starts poking me because of Damon. I actually did not mind but I only want to avoid the trouble that they all bring altogether each one of them alone was a handful, from Beatriz down to even Elizabeth all had a different kind of drama they produce, living with them for roughly seven months thought me a lot.
