CURSED BY YOUR LOVE

CHAPTER FIVE: JEALOUSY

DAMON

"Woaw! Finally I found her". I said to myself excitedly. As I fell on my bed. She looked the same as before. So beautiful and fragile but strong-headed. I can't believe I was able to control myself and not carry her to a far away place and profess my love for her a million times over. I thought to myself as I smile formed on my lips.

I began to reminisce all our moments together broadening my smile. But my heavenly moment was cut short by a phone call. I reluctantly picked up the call after looking at the caller ID. It was my best friend Jerome. "What is it?!" I snapped. "Wow, calm down dummy". He replied. I rolled my eyes at his reply and responded. "Are you gonna talk or waste my time?". "Relax D just wanted you to know I've got your girl". I wanted to snap back but froze when I heard "your girl". Instead I responded "What do you mean you've got Ray?. The last time I checked you didn't even know where her home was". I yelled back. "Well let's just say I didn't meet her in a good situation. I mean some guys were all over her and-". "Wait, what do you mean some guys were over her?" I asked cutting him off. "Well, they wanted to have some fun with her. I mean she is smoking hot and you don-" "Don't piss me off Jay" I said cutting him off again. "Okay okay relax Jeez. All I wanted to say is she's badly wounded-" I didn't wait for him to finish his sentence as I ended the call and rushed out of the house and headed towards Jerome's place.

After ten long minutes I finally reached Jerome's house.

Immediately I entered his house, I started yelling Ray's name. "Hey dummy you're disturbing my entire household" Jerome's voice came through after sometime. I charged at him instantly and held his collar. "Where the hell is she?" I asked. "Wow I'm not the enemy man. Relax" Jerome replied with a smirk. "Where is she Jay?" I asked again ignoring what he just said. "She's in my room". He answered.

I immediately rushed to his room after I got his answer.

I saw my Ray unconscious on the bed. Less than a second I was at her side. I held her close to me hoping she would feel my presence and open her eyes, but that was just wishful thinking because my Ray doesn't remember me. That she once loved me, that she was my life and I hers. I thought to myself as a lone tear escaped my eye.

"Ray, can you hear me? Please wake up. I need you. Don't leave me please. come back to me. I promise to be by yourside always baby". I whispered in her ears holding her hand and squeezing it mildly.

"Woaw I can't believe she still has the ability to make you look weak after all these years. Is this what love feels like?" He said in an amusing tone. "I thought you'd harden up after you've witnessed Christoff kill her many times". Jerome said.

Suddenly all the anger that had been washed away by Ray's current state came rushing in again. I grabbed Jerome's collar in an instant slamming him into a wall. "I will never leave her because she is mine and mine alone get that into your dumb skull". I said through gritted teeth. In response Jerome hummed with an amused expression.

I let go of his collar and moved towards Ray again. Looking at her, tears almost threatened to fall from my eyes but I turned away from her and asked Jerome, "when did this happen?" "Yesterday evening in an alley. I didn't expect the girl to be her though". Jerome answered. "Who did this?" I asked after I few seconds. "How am I to know? But what I'm actually sure about is that I would have taken it easy on them if they didn't suck so bad at defending themselves, so they're surely burning in hell by now". Jerome replied amusingly. I rolled my eyes at his answer and held Ray's hand again hoping to get a reaction from her even the slightest but none came.

"I'll be staying here tonight" I told Jerome. " What? and where do you expect me to sleep?" He asked. "On a couch, floor, guestroom, take a pick" I shot back. "Hey no fair, this is my room why do you get to sleep here", He whined. "That's because someone was dumb enough to bring my woman to his room", I snapped back. "But you can move her" he replied.

"No can do. You should have thought about that before bringing her here, so anywhere she is I am", I concluded. "You're such a meanie", Jerome replied as he walked towards the door. "Bye" I replied annoyed.

I directed my attention to Ray again and smiled at her. I grabbed a chair near by and sat close to the bed. I didn't want to sleep next to her because she might get scared if she gained consciousness and saw a stranger sleeping on the same bed with her. Though it would be nice to see her reaction I still couldn't risk it. I didn't want her to think I'm trying to take advantage of her.

Suddenly a thought came to me. If she was in Jerome's room yesterday then where did that bastard sleep?. I stormed out of the room in search of Jerome and finally found him in one of the guestrooms.

"Tell me something Jay, where did you sleep last night if my girl was in your room", I asked slightly angered. He smiled at my question without giving me an answer. "I freaking asked you something Jay. What is so amusing about this?", I shouted again. "Well your anger is so amusing to watch", He replied. "But where else do you think I slept?" He answered with a smirk. Fueled by anger I let go of his collar and punched him instantly causing him to step back a little. The corner of his lips began to bleed but he still showed not sign of remorse.

Instead he moved his hand to touch the corner of his lip. When he saw the blood he gave a slight chuckle and said, "If sleeping on the couch got me a bleeding lip then I should have taken the risk and bedded her. It's been a long time since I got a cut so it would be worth it. I mean we both know your girl has a smoking hot body that no one could resist. Not even your stone-hearted father. I wonder how it would feel when she's wrapped in my arms or when she's screaming my name while I fu-" I cut him off with a punch causing him to lose his balance and fall. "Don't every forget she's mine alone" I concluded and walked out of the room leaving a stunned Jerome on the floor.
