1037 Words
Damien keeps smiling as he walks with Chloe under the rain, with the umbrella covering their heads.
"Stop looking at me that way if you don’t want me to get mad," Chloe said.
"Is it a sin if I look at you?"
"No it’s not, but I don’t like the way you look at me," Chloe said.
"How do I look at you?"
Chloe’s eyes met with his, but she said nothing to him.
"So you’re a novel freak?" He asked, as they walked.
"Yes I am. What about you?"
"Nah, books aren’t my thing"
"Why will a bad boy like books?" Chloe asked, sarcastically, and Vincent chuckled.
"I can be a good boy if I want to"
"It’s like more the devil saying he wants to be a Christian" Chloe said and eyed him, Damien laughs.
He could swear that he has never been so happy with anyone like he is with Chloe
She has completely charmed him without knowing.
"Before I forget, I am sorry" He apologized.
"Sorry for what?" She asked.
"About what I said to Brian, three days ago"
"You think I’d talk to you if I still have that in mind?"
"You don’t?" Damien asked, and she nodded.
"Brian doesn't hold a grudge against you, so I shouldn't either, and besides, you were joking, right?"
"Why will you think I am joking?"
"Cuz you’re a bad boy and you get flirty most of the times"
Damien was about to tell her he wasn’t joking when he remembered Philip’s advice.
*Don’t push all your feelings on her at once, she’d think you’re just playing with her. Take it gradually, and let her realize on her own that your feelings are sincere*
Though, Damien didn’t tell Philip that Chloe has a boyfriend, cuz he knew Philip won’t give him tips, if he (Philip) finds out that the girl he (Damien) is into, has a boyfriend.
Damien sighed with a smile when he remembered Philip’s words.
"Why are you smiling?"
Damien shakes his head, looking at her beautiful big eyes.
They continue walking until Chloe gets to her house, and Damien wishes he could walk with her again on a second round.
"You should go home, Damies. Thank you for today"
"It’s nothing. Make sure you wear something thick, so that you won’t be cold. The weather forecaster said it’ll rain all day"
"I’m gonna wear something thick, you don’t have to remind me"
"I’m just being concerned"
Chloe looked at him, and after a few seconds, she cleared her throat.
"You should go home"
"I will leave after I see you enter the house" He smiled at her.
"Just leave, Damies. I’m already in my doorstep"
"I won’t leave until you enter the house. I just wanna make sure you’re save"
Chloe rolled her eyes. "Fine" She entered the house, but popped out her head from inside.
"Happy now, so go home"
Damien chuckled and waved at her, but Chloe squeezed her face funnily at him, before closing the door.
"She is so pretty" He sighed with a smile.
He got a call from Mirabel, but chose not to answer it.

•DAMIEN’S MANSION•
Damien got home, and when he entered the luxurious living room, there was his Aunt waiting for him.
"Auntie!" He hugged her, laughing.
Walking and talking to Chloe, built a mansion of happiness in his heart.
Mabel broke the hug and looked at him.
"What’s with the happy face?" She asked.
"Is it that obvious?" Damien asked, maintaining the smile on his face.
"Yes. Did you hit the jackpot?"
"Nah!"
"Then what could it be?"
"You’d find out soon" He smiled at her.
"Are you keeping secrets from me now?" Mabel asked, making a sad face.
Damien hang his hand on her shoulder, he is taller than her.
"I will tell you when the right time comes"
"Fine, I’ll be waiting. I made you dinner, you should freshen up and eat, your clothes are slightly wet"
"You’re the best!" He kissed her cheeks, before rushing upstairs.
Mabel looked at him as he ran upstairs, with a smile on her face.
She loves Damien more than her own daughter.
"I'm glad I was the one who raised you, cuz you’d have turn out like your criminal father"
Damien doesn't know what his dad looks like, cuz mabel never for once told him about his father.
He doesn’t know his mom either, cuz she died right after he was born. He has seen her pictures, but he feels no connection with her, because she died the day he was born.
As for his dad, he doesn’t care about knowing who he is, cuz his dad denied him even before he was born.
"I hope you both never cross paths" Mabel said, looking at the stairs as if Damien was there.
Damien came out from the bathroom after having his shower, he was still wearing that happy smile on his face, cuz he kept reminiscing how Chloe smiled at him.
"Her boxy smile is so charming. I want her to smile at me again" He giggled, drying his braided hair.
He loves braiding his hair a lot.
Damien picked up his phone from the table and he called Chloe.
She picked up after a few ring.
"What?" She asked, after picking up.
"It’s me, Damies"
"I know," Her voice said.
"You saved my number?" He asked, smiling.
Chloe looked at her phone screen, she hasn’t saved his number yet. She just knew it was Vincent, cuz she somehow managed to know the last three digits of his number.
"No I didn’t"
"Why?"
"Why did you call?" She asked, changing the topic.
I just wanted to… check up on you"
"I am not sick, so why would you even bother?"
"You really are a hard nut to crack" He muffled.
"Huh?"
"Nothing. Get some sleep" He ended the call and smiled.
He put on a black head-warmer before going downstairs to join his aunt for dinner.
Damien got her and Ava a mansion to stay, but she visits Damien from time to time to cook for him, even if he is a chef himself.
You won’t blame her, cuz she raised Damien.
