Taming Damon, The Demon (ENGLISH)

Weird Day

I lazily open the door when someone keeps on knocking. I wanted to ignore it but my head was splitting in pain. I opened the door and instantly close it again.

“Aww. Are you trying to cut my hands?”

Oh my god, oh my God! I was moving hastily cleaning my house. The Demon, I mean Damon we’re outside my door standing impatiently. I haven’t taken a bath yet and now he's here. Do I have work today? But it’s a weekend for heaven’s sake. Do I don’t deserve a rest from him?

“Come on, Hiyasmin Jade my legs are aching here.” He complained. I even check myself in the mirror before I opened the door. I’m still wearing the dress he got me yesterday.

God, I’m so lazy!

“What the f**k is taking you so long? Are you hiding something? Or someone?” he asked while grooming around my small apartment.

My house we’re enough for one person and two people were already too much. What more this demon standing in front of me. When he realizes there’s nowhere to hide in this place he rested comfortably on my small couch. He removed his shoes and take off his coat on the side.

I was just standing on the side wondering what’s happening inside my house.

I should be intimidated by his presence right now, about what happened to us last night. But here he is trying to make it more awkward for both of us. I was going to question him but my door rang again. But before I could take a step his already there and getting a box of pizza, a bucket of chicken, and some foods that I haven’t ordered.

I was like a stranger in my own house.

“Really? You came here seating comfortably as if this is your own house and you even ordered food for heaven’s sake, Damon. What are you up to? Tell me so I won’t be surprised.” I complained to him.

“Can we eat first? I just came from my Cebu and this is my first meal since yesterday.” He declared and started eating.

“That's the dress you wear yesterday, haven’t you take a bath yet?” he looked at the time on his wrists. “It’s already late in the afternoon, Hiyasmin Jade.” I put back the strap that keeps on losing my shoulder since yesterday. Rolled my eyes on him and snorted and I left him in annoyance.

I heard him asking for water and a minute later he wanted to use the bathroom too. I was so stressed that I end up eating instead of him. When I got out of the bathroom he already fell asleep on my bed.

I just clean our trash and watch tv shows. But his phone rang beside me, I was going to answer it but when I saw Martina's name popped up, I walked him up.

“What?” he asked scowling me.

I gave him his phone. “Your girlfriend was calling you.”

I left him in the room and close the door. My apartment we’re just a studio type so there’s no such space for me to go. I don’t have a choice but to take my jacket and wallet and leave the house. I heard him shouting and asking where am I going.

“What do you want? Can’t you just go home and let me rest in peace just for today?” I snorted when he stops the elevator door from closing. Oh great!

He ignored my sentiments coz he busy putting on his shoes and his coat. So I guess he just runs after me.

I should be respecting him coz he is my boss. But the fact that I can shout and scowl at him was an exemption from my years of experience with him. Not on the bed but in the office.

It's confirmed that his bipolar. He acts childish and a minute after he’ll back to being the strict and annoying boss I know. Now he stops whining and he just stood there like a f*****g statue who doesn’t even show a single reaction.

Oh God, I really can’t take it anymore. He’s getting more and more difficult to deal with. Coz when the elevator opens he storm out first and leave without a word. Wtf!

He looks furious as if I do something wrong.

I’m the one who's supposed to be mad at him, not the other way around.

I was walking around 25th Street when I big television caught my eyes. Not because it’s big, but because of someone we’re interviewing with Martina. And she’s announcing to the whole f*****g world that she and Damon were getting married.

Oh, give me a break.

I instantly called his phone but he’s not answering my calls.

I tried calling Lujan but he's busy too. And then it rang I thought it’s Damon so I answered it quickly.

“Where the f**k are you?”

“Oh, it sounds sexy hearing you cussed Jade.”

“Fino, sorry I thought it’s Damon. Have you seen the news? Is that true?” I asked hesitantly.

He chuckled. “What if it’s true?”

“Then she’s gonna be my boss. I don’t like her.”

“Oh, Jadey don’t worry she doesn’t like you either. And I know Damon,won’t jump into the same mistake twice. Anyway, I need to go.”

So Martina is a mistake. I stood there on the rand watching her interview flashed again. She’s confident about it, so maybe it’s true. Somehow thinking that he'll get married to that b***h I feel sad. Coz maybe I won’t be there by that time.

I just went out and look for something that can get my interest. I reached 22nd Street and found a Japanese clothing store. They have sweaters, shirts even bags and some shoes. It caught my eyes cause their design we’re modern and minimalist.

I was picking up some shirts when someone snatches the sweaters, I’m holding.

“Wtf! Are you blind? Martina…” I can’t help but stand straight and hold my composure that I’m not even shocked to meet her here.

She smiled wickedly while holding the sweater she stole from me.

“Oh, the b***h is here. Maybe that’s why this place smells unusual. Chana, get this thing, and let’s leave this place quickly.” She said before turning her back on me.

But before she turns around I grabbed the sweater in her hands and put it inside my basket. This is the only style they have and I can’t let her just snatched anything she wanted just because she’s rich and well-known.

“You b***h…” she shouted. “I want that sweater I should be the one wearing that, not a cheap and gold digger secretary like you.” She hysterically squealed that cause a commotion inside the store.

I pulled my hood to cover my face I saw someone takes a photo of us. Oh, Jesus, I don’t want to be an internet sensation for goodness sake.

I was busy covering my face that I didn’t saw her come close to me. I was taken aback when she pushed me and I almost fell if I hadn’t held onto the rack.

“Ow, sorry about that I didn’t push you hard enough.”

I glared at her and fix myself. “Are insecure about me? Coz if not, you won’t a scene just because of this sweater.”

“Why would I? you’re not even close to where I am. You’re just a slut clinging on Damon like a leech.” She chuckled mockingly.

“I’m not a slut, you are!”

I shouted but she's too mad that she attacked me first and first started pulling my hair. So I pulled her hair too. I flinch when I feel a stingy pain on my face. Oh, this b***h scratches my face, she’s getting into my nerves.

Someone pulled both of us apart. But we’re still glaring at each other.

“You will never be like us. A gold digger, slut!”

That hit my ego. I clenched my fist and ready to fight with her. But before I can move someone blocked my view. When I look up it’s a broad shoulder and a very hard one I guess.

“What did you just say about her, Martina? She’s a slut?”

Damon’s voice echoed inside the store. I held his arms when I saw it clenched as of his going to punch someone.

“D-Damon… B-baby. She’s a slut. She’s just pretending to be concerned about you coz she’s been up to something. Look what she did to me.”

Damon looked at me and his hands reach my face. I flinched when he touched my bruises. His eyes went darker and glanced at Martina on the other side. I thought his siding her again but I gasped when Damon pulled me beside him and put his arms around me. All I can hear were gasped and whispering from what they saw. I can see the shocks written all over their face and it’s making me uneasy. But the man beside was just like a proud man standing here and announcing to the world what he wants.

“Damon, what are you doing? This won’t help.” I object.

But to my surprised, he pulled me up and kissed me. I wanted to ask, complain, and even throw tantrums about the kiss, but flashes of lights surround us.

“Sorry to say this announcement. But this the girl beside me, as you can see we’re my fiancée. She’s the only girl I asked to marry me.” He said and turn his back to leave but stop again. “Oh before I forgot, Martina. If she’s a but, she’s the only slut I’ll ever take.”

I saw Martina's face crumpled as she glared at me. Shocked and hatred was written on her face. She was slap right in front of her of what Damon announced. I wanted to object to what he said but not here I don’t want to see Martina's victorious face.

“You can let go of me.” I hissed when we go out of the store. But he just held unto me more.

“They’re still watching us. Bear with it until we lost them.” He whispered and walked me to his car.

He opened the door for me. I peek outside the window but no one was there, I tilted my head in confusion. Maybe they left after we leave the store.

I drowned in my thoughts that I didn’t realize were already leaving Manhattan. I was going to ask him but he's kinda busy on his phone. I looked at mine and found out that someone’s bombarding my messages and calls. When I about to open it, it shut down.

How great!

“Where are we going? I need to go back home. I still need to check my--”

“We’re heading to Brooklyn, we need to visit the family.”

Oh God, Oh my God!

“D-Did I misheard you?” he chuckled.

“No, baby. We need to visit your in-laws.”

Wtf!
