Taming Damon, The Demon (ENGLISH)

Get Drunk

Damon pulled me away and pulled Fino out of my table. He acts as if I have a virus. I'm not going to jump into his friend's lap just to fulfill my desire for him. Somehow I still have some respect for myself.

"This is an office, huh! Not a park or anything. Stop flirting with each other." he glared at Fino as if we do something wrong.

"We did not do anything wrong," I answered before going back to my seat.

"That's true. I'm just asking Jade a favor. Do you want us to switch secretary?" Fino grinned and put his arms on Damon’s shoulder as if he's whispering something.

"You want this?" he asked, showing his middle finger to his friend. "And why are you here again? Don't you have a job?"

"There is. I have a lot on my plate lately. But it is more fun here. You are here, Jade is here ..." he grinned at me and blinked.

Suddenly, I began to lose my self-esteem on how I react. I feel like my face is red, and it's like a tomato. I showed him that I like what he did. What a shame!

To my shame, I didn't even show my face to Fino. I’ll just email him later the shots he was looking for. Fortunately, he also did not last long because I could not do anything during the day due to shame if he did.

"Are you going to spend the afternoon sighing, Ms. Lazaro?"

I almost jumped in shock when he suddenly spoke. "Oh, god! Where have you been? You're just showing up out of nowhere."

"I used to call you, but you were too busy thinking about it. And too busy sighing the whole time," I didn't realize I was already pouting. "Stop pouting! Did you finish what I told you to do?" He asked, looking at the clock on his arm. "I need to do some errands. I have to go. See you tomorrow.” he said before going straight to his office. I thought he was going to be around. But he also came out with his jacket on and ready to leave. And went straight ahead as if he has seen no one as he passed by. You’re a beast!

Quickly I finish and adjust his schedules and check some papers if it's done. I even went to his office to check if he left somethings open because he often left a lot. I saw his cellphone on the table, and it looked like it can’t be repaired. I arranged the papers on the table as it looks like a mess. But a picture under the sofa caught my attention. I wasn’t gonna check it, but Martina caught my attention. She was with him. The other photo is of Martina with the other men. It even has a picture that she has nothing to hide.

Does he love that woman so much and is investigating?

There is nothing good in her but her body. Hmph! I just took a taxi home to my apartment. I had to go to the grocery store because I don’t have anything to eat at home anymore and maybe even go out to dinner. But I went home first because my house was way ahead of the grocery store. I wear a crop top shirt and paired it with oversized blue jeans, pants, and white sneakers. Lately, I can't wear this anymore because I'm somewhat busy with my office, so I always have to be formal. Plus, Damon strictly forbids me to wear revealing clothes at work, as he said. And I would carry a lot later, and I can’t bear embarrassment if my body parts came out later.

"Hey, Jade. Longtime no see. Does Anton remember? I haven’t seen you lately." It took me a few minutes to remember who was in front of me. He is also a tenant here in the building. He took the time always to greet me. I was so busy lately that I don't even know my neighbor.

“Yeah, kind of busy at work. It's nice seeing you. I need to go.” I said before leaving.

I walk down the street to the marketplace. It's 24hrs open, so I don’t have a problem if I had to buy something in the middle of the night. I was standing in front of Pizza & café and Subway on the 10th St. I still can't choose what to eat.

I look back when someone puts an arm on my shoulder. I was going to slap him when I saw Lujan grinning from ear to ear.

“Wtf, What are you doing here?” I hissed, but he just ignored me and pulled me inside the pizza & café.

“I was just passing by when I saw you thinking about what to eat. I'm also hungry, so I decided to help you.” He stated as if it's nothing. “One Margherita, Cali Chicken Wrap, and these Texas burgers and maybe some Eggplant Parm. Do you want to add something?” I shook my head. “That’s all! Oh, and a wine too. Thanks.”

“Are you that hungry? You ordered too much. All I want is a salad.” I hissed again. He ordered food like no tomorrow.

“Are you a goat to eat green leaves? Jade, you should eat good food. If Damon hears that, he’ll go berserk.”

“Tsk! I can’t eat too much coz I might go bloated its already late.” I pushed my reasons not to eat the food he ordered.

But he's so hard-headed that I end up eating too. I don’t have a choice. It’s a waste of blessing if I don’t eat it. Some so many people wanted to eat what’s in front of me, right.

In the end, we didn't finish the food he ordered. I attacked him when he said I look bloated already. He just laughed his ass out, making fun of me. I take out the leftover. It’s a waste of food if they’ll just throw that away. We just walked around 10th St. before deciding to go grocery shopping. I thought he was coming home, but the rebel was still there and was staring at me, waiting for me to follow him.

If he weren't just close to me, I would think he was watching over me.

“Do you always come here?” he asked while pushing the cart.

“Yeah, it's near to my place. And it's open 24hrs. So it’s very convenient for me to come here if I needed something.”

I just picked something kitchen stuff. I’d come back again if this boy were not with me for my toiletries. I caught him busy with his phone.

“Lujan, you can leave if you have to. I can do this alone.” I assured him. He looks hesitant, but then he just bid goodbye and leaves.

I sighed after he left. At least I can buy all the things I needed at home without minding him. I was busy pushing my cart and checking out if I forgot something when I bump into someone. She feels on the ground and shouting as if I hit her hard.

“Oh, sorry!”

“Omg! Are you blind? Haven’t you noticed me? Or you’re just doing that on purpose? ” she hissed while eyeing me as if I did something wrong.

“Sorry, I was just so busy that—” I was caught off guard when she poured the coffee she’s holding.

I can feel the hot liquid running down on my skin, but I can’t feel the pain. All I just can feel were the humiliation. All eyes were on me as if I was wrong, but I didn’t know that she’s there. I was too preoccupied.

“Busy? You’re not busy. You're just mad at me. You hate me because your boss is on my side.”

“I told you I didn’t know.” I scowled at her while trying to wipe the coffee on my top.

I was shocked when I saw an unfamiliar hand helping me wipe the coffee. I gasped when I saw Damon in front of me, and he looks serious. Does he think I did that on purpose too? Does he think I can do that?

Maybe…

Coz his so blinded by his love.

“You b***h! You are still lying even if everybody saw you pushing me to the ground? You’re just a jealous b***h that can’t get over with his boss's kindness.” She said and pulled Damon away from me. I can see the dark and serious face Damon is showing me. He’s mad. Now he's accusing me even without knowing the truth. I wanted to explain, but when Martina hugged him, I just shut my mouth and keep it to myself.

I think it's just a waste of time.

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t do anything to hurt you. If you feel that way, you can check the CCTV's here. It can prove that I didn’t mean to hurt you.” I said before leaving them. He didn’t say anything. He just looked at me and accused me of using his eyes.

We’ve been together for how many years. Even if I’m just his secretary, he knows me, but he still chooses that b***h.

I didn’t finish having groceries. I end up going home annoyed the whole night. So I end up calling Gia and ask her to have a drink with me. I wanted to forget what happened tonight and to that damn b***h.

“Hey, slow down. Were just to loosen up, not to get wasted.” Gia pulled the glass I’m holding.

She just ordered a margarita for both of us. I don’t have a high tolerance for alcohol. "I just wanted to get wasted, Gia. He makes me feel like s**t. How could I ignore that?"

“Yeah, given to that, your boss is an ass. But can’t you just get angry and forget it. You don’t have to drink your ass off if your that mad. You should do something to get even.”

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. I can’t do that. I’m not the kind of person who holds grudges. I just wanted to loosen up. But I couldn’t help but express my resentment toward her. he didn't even give me a chance to explain myself. She immediately believed the woman as she pushed herself.

"Oh my god! Jade, that wine is not water. You can't just drink like no tomorrow.” she shouted as she grabbed the bottle of wine from me.

I had run out of margarita and was not happy, so it was a bit tasty. When Gia still refused to give me the wine, I stopped to dance. But when I stood up, the floors moved with me as well.

"Oh, geez! You don't even get along with me too? You look like my boss who took the side of that b***h. Imagine how he looked at me a while ago. He looks good, but his attitude and conscience are demonic. Argh! I hate you, Damon!” I hissed and stomped my feet on the floor.

I pulled my arms from Gia. She’s holding it too tight. She even accompanied me to the dance floor. Coz I wanted to dance like all the people who are enjoying the music. I was so drunk that I forgot how to be shameless.

I closed my eyes and got along the music and swayed my hands with my hips. I kept dancing until I forgot what had happened earlier. I wanted to forget this strange feeling I have today. I feel like there is something in me that can't accept what happened. I frowned a few times when someone hit me from behind. I realized it was a tall man I was facing him. My face was just across his chest. I was in a state of shock when I bumped into his chest. And I'm even dizzier.

"I'm sorry ..." he mumbled. I can see that he looks annoyed yet hesitated. I disserted my back again and back on dancing again. I confronted Gia, who now has a different dancing partner. So I had no choice but to dance alone.

But someone complimented me and dance with me sexily. “You look hot gorgeous.” He complements. I ignored him and just danced with him. But to my surprise, he's becoming touchy, and his compliments are becoming cocky. But someone from the back pulled me away from the guy that makes me feel the drowsiness, and my eyes would drop to sleep. I was smiled when I out of balance, but the man behind me was alert and caught me before I fell on the floor.

"You are consistent. You know what, you kind of cute, but you look like my boss." I whispered and laughed. "Don't be like that. I might fall for you." I joked sleepily before I struck his arm.

“When you’re drunk, you’re still talkative. I wonder why don’t fight her?” he said that I don’t even understand what he means.

I pushed him away from me before trying to walk away in the middle of the crowd again because I feel like I'm going to explode in too much heat of my body. Every time I fall, he was always there for me. Tsk! I wished everyone can be like that; be there when you need them. Laughed at me.

"Stay here. I’ll get you some water." He said and made me sit in a chair on the bar's terrace. I was feeling sleepy as the wind blew hard. But a fragrant jacket wrapped around me.

"What's wrong with you? It's so hot!" he annoyed if he tells her.

"It's cold. Can you see what you’re wearing? You look like a slut that can’t even buy nice clothing.”

I laughed so hard at what he said. "Hey, Mister. Just because you help me doesn’t mean that you have a say on what I’m wearing. You don’t have the right to talk to me like that. I'm drunk, yes, but I can still take care of myself - Hic!”

I pouted when I look annoyed at myself. “I just wanted to get drunk and forget what my boss girlfriend did to me. He sides her without even asking my side of the story. He already judges me without even knowing the reason, and I hate him for that.”

Unconsciously I did express all my resentment toward him. I’m not aware that I was already crying if he hadn't wiped the tears that were now running down my cheeks. I can't help but cry if in frustration.

"I'm sorry for making you feel that way." He whispered while consoling me and kissed me.

There was no hesitation I just my eyes and feel his kisses. Every movement of his kiss makes me feel a little strange. This new feeling gives my body a bit of heat. It felt like I had never felt it before. It's wrong, but it doesn’t make sense because it feels good. I was unconsciously holding his arms tightly.

"Can you make me forget? Please make me feel good tonight." I whispered when his lips moved down to my neck.

I wanted more.
