It was Saturday and I'm still laying on Nemaly's bed when I thought of something. I thought of my actions towards Damien after he kissed me last night. About how I shoved him and left him alone by the window. I was scared and shocked.
Shocked by the sudden kiss and scared that I might want to take things further. And worst of all, he is Nemaly's boss! I calmed myself down and enter the bathroom to take a shower.
Nemaly's mom was making us breakfast.
She's literally like a second mom to me. I love her like I love my mom. Speaking of moms, I totally forgot to update my mom that I just woke up and about to have some breakfast. I searched for my phone under the pillow and there was so many text messages. All 20 of them was from Damien.
'I'm sorry about earlier. I hope you aren't mad at me.'
'Please answer me. Don't leave me hanging.'
'Nadia, are you there? Are you safe?'
'Text me when you get home, okay?'
'Please just say something.'
'Goodnight, my love. Text me when you feel better.'
I was stunned by all the other messages. I thought to myself that he would just give up on me after I embarrassed him. But instead, he sent me countless of messages asking if I am okay. That is something that Keith could never do and someone else did it for him.
I was torn between replying to him and ignoring him, so I choose to update on my mom first before replying to him. Afterall, I did feel bad about how I acted out and just leave him dry after a while.
'Hi Mr Owens. I am sorry for how I acted out last night. I am fine and I did get to Nemaly's place safely. Thank you for you concern and I hope we will not run into each other again. Thank you for your help and have a nice day.' I sent that text and just switch off my phone, trying not to think of him ever again.
I took Nemaly, her mom and my mom out for a nice lunchsince it has been part of our routine every weekend since we were kids. I was walking out of a clothing store when I saw Damien and Ashton walking out of a gym centre. His eyes were roaming around while still holding his phone to his ear, clearly speaking to someone, until he saw me.
I was shocked again. How did we end up in the same place at the same time? I told myself it could be coincidental but like every single time. It high time I put this 'coincidental' meeting to a stop before our moms suspect a thing.
I walked up to Damien and he saw me, quickly ending his phone call with whoever was on the line, and he was clearly confused as to how I am standing in front of him.
"Mr Owen, are you stalking me?" the accusation definitely hurt him because now he looks hurt and confused.
