Chapter 39

"Girl, you're like trending right now. Every single tabloid is talking about your marriage. Like, you both have been tagged "couples with the most" I feel like telling everyone that's my girl" Liza rambled on and on about the wedding announcement.
I had returned from work already and I'm currently in the kitchen baking. Gretta has been sick for a while so we've given her a two months break. She needs rest, I'm baking a pie and a cake at the same time. My apron is literally stained with flour and fillings.
"Girl, I think everyone's just exaggerating". I say putting the cake and pie in the oven and setting different timers.
I hear Liza gasp "the internet never exaggerates, by the way no one was expecting it. Damien also mentioned that you both have been married for two years. You hardly have any public presence together and you both are also kinda famous so why not?"
"I didn't expect it to be an interview, I mean isn't that a little over the top?" I carefully remove my apron. Thank goodness I haven't stained my white crop top or bum shorts.
"No it isn't. I was surprised but when you think about it, how else do you expect him to make it public? He is like a Forbes billonaire and you are the daughter of a Forbes billonaire and also a millionaire yourself. You both have a strong media presence so it's understandable" She says while munching on chips I guess. I walk over to the sink and wash my hands before drying it with a towel.
"Liza, I need to tell you this. Ever since our marriage was announced, I've been getting threats on my email and social media accounts. They're so many. Most of them from women"
"seriously? Just stay off your phone for a while, if it persists deactivate your account. This things happen. I gotta go now but I'll call you later. Love you"
"love you too" I end the call and make my way to the living room. Just as I was entering the living room, Damien enters.
He seemed to have changed into a white hoodie and black jeans. He's just coming back from work so maybe he came home to change earlier?
His eyes meet mine and I literally freeze. His hair is ruffled up and the hoodie makes him look so cute.
"Why does he have to be so cute" I mumble to myself.
"did you say something? He asks coming towards me. Oh my, I hope he didn't hear me.
"No I didn't" I whisper sitting on the couch. His gaze lingers on me for a second before he nods and rushes upstairs.
"Hey, missed me?" Tara asks as she enters the living room. She must have gone shopping or something cause she's carrying some Louis Vuitton bags.
I give her a forced smile "didn't even know you were gone" she straightens her black jumpsuit and rolls her eyes. "not that your opinion matters anyway"
"Trust me, the feeling is mutual" I turn on the TV and she goes upstairs.
"hope you haven't forgotten about the parties I told you about" Damien says as he sits on the couch opposite me. Where did he come from.
"No I haven't, when is the first one?" He diverts his gaze from the screen and stares at me.
"In two days time" he simply says.
"Okay, you'll have to take me shopping tomorrow" i simply tell him looking at the screen. It's an horror movie and I'm the least bit interested in it. I just want to not look at him. Why does he have to be adorable?
"Me?"
"Yes you, is there any other human in this room apart from both of us?" He gives me an incredulous look.
"I'm not going with you" I smirk at him.
"Oh you will,or else I'm not attending any parties with you. They're your friends not mine, I won't be letting anyone down" he raises his straight thick brows at me and I giggle, inwardly of course. He doesn't argue cause he definitely knows what I'm capable of.
"can't you go shopping yourself? I don't want to sit around and wait for you to try out a thousand dresses"
I roll my eyes "you're such a drama queen. Stop exaggerating, it will be just five hundred dresses" his face hardens in horror and I throw my head back and laugh. It's so fun teasing him. I just wanna have some fun.
We've been watching the movie for thirty minutes and I've screamed and rolled off the couch like forty times.
"If you can't watch it then why did you choose this movie. You've been jumping like a ninja in distress" Damien says with a smirk.
"You shouldn't be mocking a ninja in distress cause she can just decide to injure you"
"a ninja who screams when she sees a zombie can not injure me" he says with a blank face. I know he's teasing me, he has a way of making jokes with a frown on his face.
"Do you want a pie?" I ask him standing up. I'm not going to give him my cake, he doesn't deserve it. I can just give him the pie cause I'm nice.
He raises his brows "you eat pie? I thought you were one of those models who were on a diet" I just roll my eyes and head to the kitchen. It's of no use arguing with a sass Damien. I don't know why he's acting so cool and nice today. It's almost so weird. After taking out my pie and cake, I keep the cake to cool and cut the pie for Damien and I. I keep the rest in the fridge.
I grab the plates and keep it on the dining table. I also take a wine bottle from the bar and pop it open. I pour myself a glass and do the same for Damien.
Damien joins me at the dining table. Now that I think of it, we're kinda matching. He's putting on a white hoodie and I'm putting on a white crop top.
We both start eating in silence "the pie is nic... Edible" Damien says. I roll my eyes, I know the pie is delicious. I have some great baking skills. I attended a baking school for some months. He's just being Damien, he didn't want to say it was nice. I just nod cause that wasn't a proper compliment.
"Can I join in the fun?" Tara asks before rushing to sit beside Damien.
She just ruined the fun.
