My mind was still hazy about what happened at the restaurant, MY restaurant. The proximity, fight, along with what Carlos said, and to top it off, he has been avoiding me for a week now after confessing his love to me and asking me to be his woman just a week back.
My brain hurts.
I didn't know what to think or do.
"He hasn't said a word to you since after you got back?" Melinda eyed me suspiciously.
I rolled my eyes. "He hasn't, I am yet to set my eyes on him since he brought me home from the date Mel."
"You do know that he cares about you right? He might be blaming himself for hurting you. He did hurt you after all." She shrugged.
"Yeah i do.."
"Good, now I want to properly introduce you to the other maids."
I followed her to the garden where a few maids sat and discussed with each other. They all stopped what they were doing and gave Melinda their attention but completely ignored me like i wasn't standing there at all.
"I want to introduce a very special guest of Mr Carter, she'll be staying in the house in Mr Carter's wing so I expect you all to treat her with respect. You do not want to get in Damian's bad book now do we?"
Then she left to attend to other things, I was about to leave too when a snorty bitchy maid cleared her throat loud enough so I could also hear.
"Looks like Damian got himself a new whore." They all laughed. I slowly turned around to face her and folded my hands together when she smirked.
"What did you call me?"
"Exactly what you are, a fat ugly freaking whore."
I felt my cheeks heat up immediately. How dare this bitch? Who does she think she is and why is she so bold with her words? What's her relationship with Damian.
"Some nerve you have there, but I don't speak to the trash when its full of waste, I take it out. I'd like to see how confident you get when that time comes."
"You really think you scare me? Bitch please. Damian is mine, and i don't care how long he decides to use you for his desire but he always comes back to me because there's no one that fucks him good like I do." She laughed and I stared at her face.
"Bye Felicia."
I stormed out of the garden to Damian's study room. I needed answers and I was going to get it today. The moment I barged into his study room I immediately regretted it cause I looked stupid. I got really scared so I ran out of the study room to my own room and locked it. I collapsed into my bed and silently cried in my pillow. I felt really humiliated and it wasn't long until Damian found his way to my door and started banging on it.
"Go away!" I choked on my own sobs.
It wasn't long until i heard a bunch of keys being shuffled and finally finding the right one to open my door. It flew open and before i could say anything he pulled me into a bear hug and I stupidly relaxed in his embrace.
"Everything's okay I promise."
Well this time I've had enough of him and his promises.
"I'm tired, I'm tired of the way you treat me Damian. Am I just a pawn in your games? I never gave you any signal for you to play with my emotions this way. One minute you're asking me to be your woman and the second minute you're avoiding me like I don't exist. I understand that I won't be able to satisfy you sexually yet but damn! Have a little bit of respect for me if I'm going to be yours, sleeping around with your maids comes back to bite me in the ass cause they lose any form of respect for me and call me names. I literally haven't done anything to deserve this Damian."
"Molly disrespected you right?"
"Oh so everything she said is the truth? You disgust me Damian. Leave me alone now." I pushed him away and walked out of the room to Melinda's room so I could hide away from him and everyone else.
