Chapter 31

Damien's POV
It's been a hell of a day at work and I had to leave early because of the dinner Sam had organized. Am i looking forward to it? No. Francesca acted really funny this morning, after our fight last night, I didn't expect her to still be upset. Of course I don't care but i think she was acting a bit childish.
We bumped into each other this morning and all the files I was holding fell on the ground. I was holding a total of twenty files and she just picked ten of them and handed them to me. That was quite annoying and funny at the same time. We didn't speak and she just left.
At dinner, I saw her in that gold dress and I must say, she looked okay. Okay... Stunning, I noticed the way she avoided eye contact with me and I knew right then that she was still upset about last night. I also noticed the way she conversed with her sister and it was obvious they didn't get along at all.
Her sister... Is it Tina or something like that is getting on my nerves. I hate having my personal space invaded and I'm not actually happy about her staying with us. I'm only doing this to make Francesca angry and hopefully get on her nerves.
Her sister is constantly getting on my nerves by pressing her body into mine. Normally, I would have pushed her off and embarrassed her but I want to get a reaction from Francesca. I later revealed that our marriage will be made public and I could see the obvious shock in her face.
She abruptly left the dinning room after her sister kept touching me. I stood and left too cause I wanted to know if she was indeed affected. Getting to her room,I see her just lost in thoughts.
I lean on the door with folded arms and ask her what's wrong, she just says she was done eating. We chat for a while about our marriage being made public and also the fact that she's been avoiding me.
It starts raining and I take in her features. The thunder lights and dim lights in the room brings out her features perfectly. Her blue eyes stare outside in awe and it reminds me of how my mum always had this love for the rain. .
Indecent thoughts run through my mind and I try my best to shrug them off but that doesn't work, I know I don't feel anything towards her. If anything, I'm upset that she was gullible enough to sign a contract she didn't read. I dislike weak people who can't take a stand for themselves, people who think with their hearts and not their brain.
I usually don't look at women twice, I don't notice them at all. I don't have the time nor heart for feelings, I don't have love to give to anyone. The women I've been with in the past were just one or two time dates. I always made it clear I wanted nothing else.
I didn't notice the little things in them, like the way they smile or how they laugh. I didn't have the time and I also didn't want to have the time. But with Francesca... I don't understand. I noticed the way she laughed the other day, I really need to stay away from her.
I turn to look at her and we chat about how the rain stopped us from going out for a while before I finally gave in to the voice in my head and kissed her. My lips collides with hers in a split second and I could tell she was nervous but she didn't pull back. After some seconds she finally opened her mouth. Our tongues began moving in synch and I lost every sense of reasoning.
I never really kissed ladies and if I did, I never did the tongue thing. I found it extremely disgusting and unhygienic but I did it with her today because I know how hygienic she is. She's clean and neat. We pull out and she goes outside to talk to her friend. I stay behind in the room and ponder about what just happened.
I should not have let my guard down, this is just a contract marriage and we'll have to find a way to divorce soon. I don't want any strings or complications at the end of the day.
I finally look around her room, it's a blend of neutral and bright colours. The lights are dim and her bed is already neatly made. I look up at the pictures hanging on the wall and closely scan them...
