DAMIAN GEORGE P.O.V
Basketball was my favorite sport,Ever since I was a kid I always wanted to make a career out of it cuz I just loved everything about it.
My best friend Lorenzo and I were seated on a couch playing basketball video games as always.
We've been at this game for almost 3 hours and he kept losing which got him all whining and sulking.
I smirked proudly winning the 10th round of the game and he groaned loudly smashing the gamepad against the wall.
"What the f**k man that costs me 4,000 dollars"I shouted watching how it broke into the pieces in the floor.
He rolled his eyes slumping against the couch not bothered that he just broke my game pad.
"My cousin sister is coming over tomorrow"He announced breaking the silence.
Cousin Sister,who is that?. I honestly didn't know who he was talking about.
"Who?"I asked sceptically.
"Eva, Don't you remember her?"
Eva. Damn how could I forget her? The last time I saw her was on her sixteenth birthday.
I recalled how she would squirm and blush eachtime we made eye contact or crossed paths in the house.
It was always cute and fun to watch,she was always sitting quietly by the pool reading or listening to songs on her phone.
She loved her privacy which was the first thing I noticed the first day we met.
"Hey,what are you thinking about?"Lorenzo asked smacking the back of my head.
"When is she coming?"I found myself asking, grinning widely.
"I know that look Damian"He glared at me. "She's off limits" he added.
I eyed him innocently. "I know, Don't be so damn overprotective" I mumbled gulping down the juice from the glass.
"Brody is hosting a party at his place,you coming with?"I asked winking at him.
The thing is a lot of ladies from college will be there and I really need a girl.. It's been so f*****g long.
"Cheryl will be there right?"He asked raising his eyebrows taking a sip of his juice.
Cheryl was the girl Lorenzo has been in love with for a very long time and hasn't got the balls to say it her.
I honestly have no idea why people fall in love cuz it felt like a trap to me, Like being trapped by a woman or man who ends up leaving you after all the promises...I mean empty promises.
I scoffed at the popular phrase which said,"Behind every successful man there's always a woman"
I mean who wrote that bullshit,My dad was 18 when he had me abandoned by my mother who i haven't seen or heard from since by twenty two years of age.
I love my dad,I cherish him,My life means nothing without him, he's my everything and my only family well until I met Lorenzo's family. They were also my family too,I love them so much.
Honestly I don't see myself getting married in the future,My priority was achieving by dreams and goals and always making my dad happy.
"I asked a question Damian,why are you suddenly quiet?"
I shaked my head. "Yes, she'll be there"
"Then party it is brother"He yelled jumping on the couch like a kid who had just been given a pack of candy.
I found myself smiling at his childishness.
EVA WILLIAMS P.O.V
THE NEXT DAY.
"Am gonna miss you dad"I gave my dad a tight hug sniffing as I felt tears threatening to spill out of my eyes.
I can be so damn emotional at everything especially when it comes to my family.
Unfortunately my dad isn't coming with us so it's just I, my junior brother and my mum.
Dad drove us to the airport and I picked up my phone scrolling and reading some breaking news about a celebrity I didn't quite know of... Boring.
I yawned feeling myself getting sleepy since I didn't get much sleep last night cuz all I kept thinking about was my trip to Texas and mostly... Damian.
Would he still recognize me?I hope he does.
A part of me was exited and the other part of me was nervous to see him and also my cousins.
The trip to Texas didn't last more than three hours,We got out of the plane and I held my brother's hand knowing he was going to run off somewhere due to the excitement of seeing his Aunt and cousin.
We took an Uber to the address and I found myself staring at the the beautiful places we passed by from the glass window of the car.
Texas was indeed a beautiful and fun place to spend your Christmas holiday.
The Uber driver drove to a beautiful looking estate and stopped in front of the third house,My heart kept beating fast as I stepped out of the car and I stared around in awe.
"Eva take out the luggages out of the car"My mum said and I sighed.
Just as I was about to walk back towards the car and I stopped feeling like someone was starting at me.
My heart skipped a bit when I saw Damian staring down at me from his house window and I waved shyly.
I could feel my cheeks heating up from his intense stare,I was kinda hurt that he didn't wave back or acknowledge me.
He probably doesn't recognize me.
He just left and I stood there staring at the place he was standing seconds ago like a dummy.
Few seconds later he came back to the window but not alone this time but with.... Lorenzo my cousin.
A wide grin appeared on my face as I waved at him excitedly.
"Sissy Eva"He shouts with a smile and left the window probably to go inform the others.
I turned around to leave but Damian's deep voice stopped me sending shivers down my spine.
"Welcome back princess"
Damian's love for his dad is heartwarming.
Shout out to all the fathers in the world!!!!!
