Chapter 13
He laughs and smiles and it just makes me laugh and smile. This is the first time I've ever seen him loosen up and just be carefree.
After a minute of laughing we both stare at each other for a while before turning our gazes back to the TV. After the movie ends, Damien picks out a horror movie and challenges me to watch it. I never loose a challenge so I agree and we start the movie. I knew I made a mistake the moment I saw the first scene. I just couldn't bare it. There was a part where I screamed so loud Damien practically had to rush to my side and cover my mouth.
He smirks "You know if you keep on screaming so loud, the bodyguards might rush in here any minute"
I glare at him, what a jerk. I'm a lady, I can't stand the sight of violence.
"You could just loose the challenge you know" he says
"No, I'm not doing that. I never give up, especially when it's a challenge" With that I turn my attention back to the TV and start watching. Deep down I know this will be a tough movie. I somehow manage to finish the movie without screaming and I thank God.
Damien is back to his cold self and I'm back to my sassy self. His phone rings and after answering it he rushes out and drives out of the house.
It's already 2pm and I go over to the game room and start getting everything ready for our sleep over. I'm really excited since it's been so long since we had a sleepover. I arrange everything to our taste, pick out some movies and get the popcorn, food and drinks ready.
When I finish I get a call from an unknown number, I click on receive and groan when I hear the callers voice. He's been calling me and I've been ignoring his calls so now he decided to call through an unknown number. What a jerk he is.
"Sam, what do you want?" I ask getting irritated. Some people can't just take no as an answer. You know he was kinda sweet before, but now? He's just plain annoying. Like it's up to a girl if she wants to date you or not. If she says no then be a man and deal with it. Stop trying to convince her or ask her why. It's her life and it's her choice.
"Why have you been ignoring my calls?"
"I don't owe you an explanation" I simply say
"Francesca please tell me what I've done so I can make it right. I can bare the silent treatment you're giving me"
" Sam, I'm busy right now so please let me be"
" Francesca I can take care of you, all you have to..."
"I don't need you to take care if me, I can take care of myself by myself so please keep your care to yourself" with that I ended the call.
If only he knew I'm married, plus I don't even want to date anyone. I want to love myself and live for myself. All my life I've lived for my parents, my sister and now look where it got me. I don't want to have to take care of another person or even be in a relationship with another person cause this contract marriage has shown me that I've not been living. All my life I've just been surviving, trying to do everything right, trying to love everyone right. Asking my self, am I a perfect daughter, sister or friend. I'm tired of trying to please everyone but myself.
The door bell rings and I rush to open the door.
"Liza, I thought you'd not be here until late in the night" I say while hugging her. She's dressed in a white crop top and black skirt.
"I wanted to help out and also catch-up" she says grinning from ear to ear
"Hmm, that reminds me, you owe me a lot of gist" I say taking the big plastic bag she's holding and taking them to the living room. She brought some snacks, drinks, games and extra clothes.
"I owe you nothing girl" she playfully says while taking a sit.
" Oh you do girl. You have to tell me what's going on between you and Sam, oh, do you have his number?" I ask wiggling my brows.
" A question at a time please. And nothing is going on, it's just a casual infatuation" I roll my eyes at that. " And yes, I have his phone number, he called me actually and he even sent me flowers this morning. I don't know how he got my phone number or address"
I gasp and clap my hands " he's so into you girl, flowers? Seriously? That's so sweet. But I don't think I'm surprised that he has your phone number. I mean he's Sam Sanders after all"
Liza just smiles and blushes. She looks so adorable. I grin at her and sing "Look who's falling in love. The play girl is going to fall in love"
Liza gasps and throws her bag at me. I catch it and take her phone from it. I enter her password and go to her WhatsApp. I see her chats with Sam and I grin. Liza starts chasing after me but I'm faster than her. We run around the house before she gives up gasping. After teasing her, we decide to go have a nap in my room before we have our sleep over, since we'll be staying up late.
The loud knocking on the door wakes us up. Groaning I get up and go open the door.
I gasp in surprise when I see Fred winking at me.
"What are you doing her psycho" I ask glaring at him. He just woke me up, a girl needs her beauty sleep.
He just grins and winks again. Is he having a seizure or something?
"I'm not the only one get. Chris and Sam also came too. We're having a guys night"
Okay what?
Guys night out and girls sleepover. Going to be fun.
