After thirty minutes of typing away on my laptop, I pushed it away and stood up. I stretched my arms and legs then walked to my wardrobe. I pulled out a scarf and wrapped it around my neck, not wanting to take the risk of the other people seeing all those hickeys. I tied my hair in a ponytail while humming a song. Basically, I'll have to meet Damian's girlfriend. Yuppie!
"Athena" I saw the door open slowly and Thomas peeked in to look at me. I smiled at the little boy and motioned him to enter. He opened the door wider and stood there. "Alena said dinner is ready" he said.
"Let's go then" I said and walked to the door. I took his hand in mine and we both walked to the dining room while talking and laughing. I rose my head to see that everyone was already here. My parents were not here. Thank God. As my eyes skimmed the dining room, I noticed that Damian was not here too. Where is he? Thomas tugged on my hand. I bent as he leant to my ear.
"Where is Damian?" he asked in a whisper. I smiled and shrugged.
"Maybe he'll be coming in a few minutes" I said and he nodded.
"Guys, take your seats" my sister said as she motioned the two seats next to Rose and Jace. We walked to the seat and I finally noticed two strangers, two women to be exact. Which one of them was Damian's girlfriend? Damn. I should be reading more magazines.
"Good afternoon" I greeted everyone and they all greeted back. I turned my attention to the two women and smiled. "I'm Athena" I introduced. "And that's my brother, Thomas" Thomas gave a big cheeky smile.
"I'm Jasmine" the brunette one replied with a wide smile, her black eyes glimmering with excitement.
"And I'm Rosemary Kropp" the other one said, power and authority high in her voice. "I'm Damian's girlfriend" with those words, I scrutinized the woman in front of me and felt my world crashing. Rosemary was dressed in a mid thigh red silk dress which clung to her figure magnificently. Her blond hair was tied in a neat bun and her make up was perfectly done. She seemed flawless. Perfect for Damian. And here I was, expecting to see some Bimbo. Why was I even expecting that? Damian would not date a Bimbo.
"Nice to meet you" I lied as I gave her a tight smile.
"Athena, I need help in the kitchen" Alena said as she stood up and walked towards the kitchen. I knew that she needed to talk to me as we had a lot of personals walking around with trays of food. Why would she need help with something she is not even in charge of? As I stood up to walk away, I saw Thomas scoot on my seat, to be able to talk with Jace and Rose.
"What is it?" I questioned as soon as I walked into the kitchen.
"I hate those bitches" Alena said with a huff, making me laugh.
"Why?"
"Jasmine used to date Dean. And I'm pretty sure that this b***h of Rosemary brought her here just to annoy me" Alena said through gritted teeth. I rolled my eyes and put my hands on her shoulder.
"Alena, if Dean chose to marry you, then he must love you, right? Why get jealous over a girl of his past?" I questioned with rose eyebrows.
"Exactly" we turned to see Dean walking towards us with his hands in his pockets. "I love you, Alena. You don't have to be jealous over a girl who doesn't mean anything to me" he wrapped his arms around Alena's waist and I could see my sister melting in her soon to be husband's arms. "And next time, don't f*****g leave me with those two bitches alone" he pleaded. I laughed and stared at them in disbelief.
"They don't look that bad. They seemed pretty nice and not the slut type" I explained.
"Rosemary is an undercover slut" Alena said seriously. I chuckled but she rolled her eyes. "Seriously! She may seem all professional but in fact, she slept her way to success" my sister said and I nodded when I finally get what she was saying.
"Can we go now? They will start wondering what's taking us so long" I said and they both nodded. As we started walking back to the dining room, my sister tugged in the scarf.
"Why are you wearing this?" she asked and I felt it closer to my neck.
"After that walk in the rain, i didn't want to take the risk to get sick" I quickly lied. She seemed to believe the lie and kept walking to the dining room. Dean only grinned in my direction, making me huff. He knows everything, that dude. When we walked into the dining room, I could see Damian walking in as well. His eyes were no longer playful. He was glaring at everything.
"Damian, you're sitting next to Rosemary" Alena called and we watched as the hot sexy man turned to look at us. He narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
"I'm not sitting next to that slut. What if I catch aids?" He asked loud enough to make them hear. My eyes widened as I leant to gauge Rosemary's reaction. She seemed completely emotionless. How can she not be affected by Damian's harsh words? But what matters the most right now, was how my little brother was staring at us.
"Damian. I have my seven years old brother sitting in this dining room. If I hear him swear one time, I'm killing you" I said while glaring at him. He turned his head to me and smirked when his eyes fell on the scarf.
"Guys, let's go" Dean said.
"I'm not sitting next to the Undercover slut" Damian huffed like a child. I stared at him in disbelief. Did he seriously say Undercover slut? He's twenty eight for God's sake!
"Alena and Damian came up with that name" Dean explained to me and I nodded while staring at my sister and Damian high five. What the hell is wrong with them?
"Then you sit next to Athena and we'll make Thomas sit next to Rosemary" Alena whispered. As I reached Thomas, I asked him if he would like to sit next to Rosemary and the little boy nodded happily before going next to her. Let me tell you that Rosemary was not happy at all when she saw Damian sitting next to me.
"Why are you not sitting next to me, Damian?" She asked softly as she stared at my man with puppy eyes. My man. Back off b***h.
"Because I don't want to?" Damian responded cooly as the dinner was served.
"You're my boyfriend" Rosemary said through gritted teeth.
"Here we don't have to act. Everyone knows that it's only for publicity that we're together. So don't talk to me, unless we're being in a public place" Damian said harshly. I knew that he was getting worked up. He seemed to love Rosemary a lot. I took a deep breath and put my hand on his thigh, caressing him in a soothing way. I could hear him exhale in relief at my touch.
Soon, dinner was over and I tucked Tommy in bed. The little boy fall asleep so fast. I walked out of the room to see Jasmine walking down the corridor while holding her phone between her ear and her shoulder and carrying two huge bags. I quickly walked to her and motioned her to give the bag to me. She sighed in relief and handed me one of the bags.
"Yes sir. Sure. I will let her know. Good bye" she ended the call and huffed in annoyance.
"Everything's Okay?" I questioned.
"My sister thought it would be cool to let me carry all this to the room while she tries to snog Damian again" she said. Rosemary was trying to snog Damian again. I really want to see if her attempts are successful or not. When I entered the room, I gave her a smile on put the bag on the bed. She was going to be alone, so I decided to keep her company.
"She's still not over Damian?" I questioned, trying to get some information out of her.
"It's not that. Rosemary hates to lose control over someone. When Damian and her we're together, the guy was lovesick. He would do anything for her" Jasmine explained as she sat on the bed and stared at me. "Seems like hatred took place in his heart for my sister when he found out that Rosemary has been cheating on him" she shook his head in disappointment.
"Why would your sister cheat on Damian? I mean, he's damn perfect" I breathed at the thought of Damian. Well, he wasn't perfect. Nobody is perfect. But his body was. The s*x was.
"That's a tough question" she answered with a shrug. "My sister is stupid. She didn't realize real love when she found it. She preferred sleeping around rather than sticking to one faithful sexy man" she said. I could see her eyes twinkling as she said sexy. Yeah, Damian was sexy.
"What about Dean?" I questioned.
"Dean? We were dating. We broke up because of we fell out of love" she said with a smile which didn't reach her eyes. "I don't cheat unlike my sister" she added.
"You don't like your sister?" I asked. She turned to look at me and eyed me suspiciously.
"You could work for the FBI" she said while chuckling. "You ask a lot of questions" she finally said as I went to sit next to her. I sighed and let my body fall on the bed. She did the same and we both stared at the ceiling.
"I'm bored and as your sister is busy seducing Damian, why not keep you company?" I asked with a smile. She smiled and turned to look at me.
"You're cool" she said with a grin.
"I know" I answered proudly, making her chuckle.
"And my sister hates you already" she said, making my eyes go wide.
"Why that?"
"Because Damian sat next to you" she answered. I scoffed and sat up.
"What's her age?" I asked.
"We're both twenty three" she said with a grin.
"Twins?" She nodded. They look no where alike. They were not identical twins. "Good thing that you guys are not identical because you're way sexier than her" I muttered. She laughed and shook her head in disbelief.
"You're lesbian?" she questioned. As soon as the words left her mouth, i burst out laughing.
"No, I'm not! Why would you think about that?" I questioned.
"Keeping me company. Saying that I'm sexy. Getting to know me better" she said with one rose eyebrow.
"No,I'm straight as a stick" I teased and she laughed.
"If the stick is ever broken, you know where to find me" she said with a wink and my jaw dropped open. "I'm bisexual" she cleared. I laughed and nodded.
"I'll keep that in mind" I said and that's when we heard a knock on the door. We both turn to see Damian standing there, his jaw clenched, his eyes glaring at us.
"Athena, can I talk to you?" he questioned, his voice strangely calm and husky. I mentally drooled and i turned to say goodbye to Jasmine when I noticed that she was in the same state as I. Stop drooling over him!
"That's why I'm not fully lesbian" she mumbled and at her words, I burst out laughing while shaking my head.
"I'll talk to you later?" I said while standing up. Jasmine nodded her head with a big smile on her face.
"Yeah. You know where to find me" she said as she turned to the bags.
"If you're somehow bored, there's my friend Rose that must be somewhere around, Go and find her" I said as I got out of the room. As soon as the door closed, Damian had me pinned to the wall, with my hands on the either side of my head. He was breathing heavily. I could feel anger radiating from him.
Did I do something wrong?
