The way you feel about him

1160 Words
The room was chill, and yet there was nothing but intense energy between Damon and Nero as they glared at each other, wasting the seconds to silence. “When did you start acting like a lunatic?” Neron finally asked with bitterness in his voice. “What is that supposed to mean?” Damon mumbled, even though he already had a guess. A faint smirk made its way to Neron's lips as he intensely stared at Damon before resting back in his chair. Then within a split second, a frown crossed his face, and his eyes burned with fury as he asked, "Humans are getting abducted. Do you know anything about it?" “What does that have to do with me?” Damon asked with a bit of arrogance in his tone. As anger stirred within him, Neron suppressed his frustration and kept his expression calm even though he had his fingers folded in a tight fist. "Like an infectious virus. Someone is turning humans into werewolves, and I want to believe that you are not that nut to do it. But you just lost half of your pack. Uhh, do you see where I am driving at?” Neron firmly stated, keeping a level gaze at Damon. With his brows drawn together, Damon gnashed his teeth and then shouted, " And who's fault it is it for that, you bastard?!" "Apparently, yours. You shouldn't have pushed me off the cliff, dumb ass!" Neron casually let out. Losing himself to a storm of anger surging through him, Damon swung his fist at Neron, only to have his hand stuck in Neron's grip. Frowning at Damon, he sighed and let out, "If I find out that you are the one behind this, my feelings for Bella wouldn't stop me from toasting you ass! Got it?" “f**k you!" Damon let out strongly. "And save your threats and anger for someone else because I had nothing to do with what's going on between the humans and my kind." "Hmm, then enlightened me on whose the lunatic that would do something this shitty!" "I don't know. But You are pointing fingers at the wrong wolf!" "I am not the one pointing the finger here. My clan is. And like always, I am the only one keeping you alive." A look settled in Damon's eyes as Neron let go of his fist and calmly uttered, "I really don't like the beast in me, so don't force me to bring it out, and get your s**t together with your pack before I make you guys extinct. Now, get out." When the room fell silent, those words finally settled in Damon's mind, and for some reason, he couldn't shake it off, knowing within himself that Neron was right. Quietly, he took a long look at Neron, and then mumbled, "Is Bella still pregnant, or did you…" Squeezing his fist, the rest of his words refused to leave his lips as he stared at Neron's numb expression. "It's none of your concern. Now, get out of my office!" Neron let out, annoyed at the feeling of awkwardness he felt to having such a conversation with him. "Answer the damn question, Neron! Is Bella still pregnant?!" Damon shouted, feeling impatient and aggravated. At that moment the door opened, and they both stared at the doorway, looking at Bella gazing at both of them. Dropping her stare to the tiles, she tried to calm her pounding heart down as she nibbled nervously on her bottom lip. "She's still pregnant." Neron let out in reluctance, hating the fact that the was a third person in their relationship. "I need a DNA test," Damon uttered with a demanding tone. "You are in no place to make requests here!" "Really? Because the last time I checked she could be carrying my kids! " All of Bella's stresses came plunging back when she raised her gaze, locking eyes with Neron, and even though his face bore no expression, he felt his heart sink as he stared back at her. “I want a DNA test done too, just to make sure who the babies are for," Bella whispered without abandoning Neron's eyes. With all three of them in an emotional state, it got awfully quiet for a while. Then Neron rested back in his chair and covered his face with his hands before sighing with despair. “Why? I don't care if the kids are his or mine.” He mumbled beneath his breath. Holding back tears, Bella picked at her nails as she mumbled, "I know that. But I don't want to live with questions, and have them grow up with doubts too." Not losing the calmness in his eyes, Neron focused on Damon and commanded, "Excuse us." "I think I am going to stay for this one. I don't want to miss any discussion about my kids." Damon let out. “You should leave… please,” Bella mumbled before shutting her eyes as tears threatened to fall from them. Her heart hammered in her chest when she raised her eyes and stared at Damon, gazing back at her like he was disappointed in her. Instantly, she hated that she walked in on them when she thought he was gone since her interview took a while. Finally, Damon woke from his seat, approached her, and then he stopped beside her, mumbling, "I want to be involved in their lives, even if it is impossible to be in yours." Feeling caged by the several emotions coursing through her, Bella peeped at him as he walked away before staring at Neron when the door shut. A couple of minutes went by in silence as Neron waited for Damon to leave the building, and the entire time, Bella was trying her best to stay composure, not giving in to her emotions. "If the kids are his, what does that mean for us?" Neron finally asked, not looking away from her gaze. How could she answer such a question when a part of her knew how complicated it is going to be to have both of them a part of her life forever. There was no straight answer to such a question since her heart was a mess, so Bella kept a straight expression and said, "I love you," "But that doesn't change the way you feel about him, right?" Neron let out, knowing exactly what she was going through with her emotions. Squeezing her mouth even tighter, Bella felt sick to her stomach, and she tried so hard to sedate the feeling but it wasn't working because she realized her next words were a bit dishonest as she mumbled, "I don't have feelings for Damon." All Neron could feel at that moment was desperate despair after hearing the uncertainty in Bella's response. Yet, he gave her a weak smile and mumbled, "If you need a DNA test, then we are going to get one.”
