We both enjoyed the delicious lunch madame Carlotta claimed she single handedly prepared which I doubt cause the food on the table was too much for just one person to cook and still taste this good, she must've gotten help from the other cooks.
Whether she prepared it all by herself will be debated later, now we were all at the living room only that Brian and Damon were both having a conversation while I was with Madame Carlotta.
She started off her conversation with tales of how Damon would always embarrass himself by peeing all over his body, I couldn't help myself from laughing at Damon's embarrassing stories while looking at him, his eyes squinted like he was trying to figure out why I was laughing so hard--- he obviously shouldn't try forcing himself to know why cause he will be embarrassed all over again.
Madame Carlotta didn't stop there as she ran on about the time Damon and Xander would always fight and each time Xander wins Damon would roll on the floor and cry his eyes out. She spoke of how cheerful Damon was when he was living with her and her late husband during the time things wasn't alright in the mansion ---- she said it was something that had to do with Beatriz's marriage but didn't dwell much on that topic.
She slowly moved into the topic about the both of us and how we grew fond of each other.... Madame Carlotta was being nosy in my opinion but it doesn't matter since she promised to tell me about how Damon started loving me cause I personally didn't even know when my heart started beating for Damon, it's still all a mystery and somewhat unreal for me, one day I might just wake up and all of this could be one big fat lie and that will be all for me.
I explained to her how Damon had treated me in our first meeting, the way he refused to acknowledge the baby Elizabeth had left for him in me, the way he drank away his sorrows he himself buried within him and went ahead to move around with the same secretary who caused a rift in his marriage.... even though Elizabeth wasn't innocent at that time, the secretary who brought about his downfall that thought him a serious lesson.
I spoke bitterly of the truth even though Damon favorite woman in his life was the person I was speaking to. I didn't love Damon and that is the blatant truth but looking at the past and now you would definitely know that I just couldn't live without him, Damon was my lifeline and someone that I was holding on to with my entire being.... I really hope he knows that and don't hurt me but I ain't gonna tell him, he should find that out himself by loving me back aggressively.
Madame Carlotta smiled all through my speech about how Damon was to me, she said nothing and only listened until when I was done talking, "You might say all of this now but I want you to know Damon is nothing like you described, you see...." She paused to look at Damon who was now reprimanded Brian on the way he is handling the Vineyard.
"When he was little there was this particular girl he continuously spoke of and that is Elizabeth, Elizabeth was the first real love of my boy here but she loved his step brother Xander, that was one of the reasons they fought.... Elizabeth family had actually even love Xander more than they even love Damon, I just don't know why" she took my hands in hers before adding. "I was really happy when I called a month ago and he said that he had fallen for a girl but didn't have the guts to tell her and then I told him to stop being sluggish and go for it before someone else does".
"If Damon didn't love you I don't think he would've told me, I also heard that you were close to Xander.... You see Xander isn't the right choice...."
"Ma, what are you doing? Are you trying to put in a good word for me, please don't" Damon cut in on Madame Carlotta when she was trying to describe her preferable choice of man for me while weighing Xander down.
She raised her hand in surrender as she got up and left while mumbling, "If you aren't careful you are going to lose this one too" I smiled cause I know it will be impossible.
Damon turned to me,"Don't listen to a thing she says"
"Why? Isn't it true that you peed on your self? Pee pee boy" I made fun of him while running away so he won't stop me from repeating it.
We ran around the whole vicinity before Madame Carlotta called us to change and get ret ready to move to the vineyard, she gave me a pair of baggy jeans, an old sleeveless top and a sun hat to cover my face from the scotching sun that has now fully risen.
I was a bit surprised to see that Damon wasn't even getting changed and she didn't even give him any, infact he was still in his normal clothes he wore when he came over with the sole impression that he came to inspect how hard I was working.
Here I am getting severely beaten by the sun and he is here telling me he was here to inspect how much grape we have plucked out so they can start processing it immediately. I was utterly furious cause I personally thought that everyone including Damon was going to work.
"Keep up the good work" he said walking past me and I scoffed at him, he came back to my line to ask if I was fine and I made sure to show that I wasn't.
I stood up and bent my back so he hear the cracking sound my back was making before I took off the sun hat and threw it on the floor. "I am done here" I said marching forward before he held me back.
"What's wrong?" He asked like he didn't have the eyes to see what was wrong. He took out his small hand towel and dab my face with it to get rid of the sweat on my forehead, "You shouldn't get angry... It just doesn't fit you" he kissed my lips for a short while after he was done.
I followed him around to inspect on the other workers while holding on to him tightly, when we were done we returned back inside and back out when the workers were done. Damon, Brian and I gave out the daily wages to the workers before they went to their houses which was provided for them.
We all had our dinner together after taking our bath. Brian wasn't saying anything but he looked at me some kind of way when I ate from Damon's spoon, his eyes were like a hawk watching my every move.
That was his own cup of hot tea cause I slept at Damon's room and vice versa as we extended our stay there for a week since the vineyard was much more worse than it seems, if only Brian had focused all of his energy on making the Vineyard prosperous like it was before then my baby won't be in this position, I mean the wine is really good so why is the business a flop.... Poor management?
And by the way Damon and I had sex for three days straight, that alone should keep Brian on his feet.
