LOGINI finished my last meeting with the Co and pets store. Retiring into my seat, I shut my eyes and let sleep overtake me.
My phone rang and I reached to pick it. Damien's name flash on the screen and I swipe to pick.
"Hey baby" his voice boomed through the speaker. I grinned like a crazy school girl on prom.
"Hey babe" I say right back and he chuckled.
"Look out your window"
I got up from my seat and looked out my glass window and below to find Damien waving up at me.
"You have about five seconds to get your fine ass here or I'll come up to get you" he playfully threatened. I pushed my phone into my purse and arranged my desk before heading for the elevator.
"Leaving?" Tan asked from her wooden cabin.
"Yeah. Till tomorrow" the elevator pinged and I stepped in. I tapped my hands against my lap impatiently. My mind raced at the possibilities of Damien's surprise. The door finally opened and I stepped out.
The man by the door saluted me and I waved as I walked out. Damien opened his arms and I walked into it. He placed a kiss on my lips.
A man and woman in suite stood behind us. My eyes asked it all.
"They're your bodyguards" he said slipping his hands round my waist.
"So you went through with it huh"
Damien winked at me. "Both of them would take the Dodge, your coming with me. I looked at the black Jeep standing by the corner and then to the car Damien was leading us to.
2019 Ferrari 488 GTB!! That's a fucking new car.
"Let me drive it" I smiled cheekily at him. He kissed my cheek and took my hand opening the passenger door.
"This? No"
I rolled my eyes as I got in. He rounded the car and came and sat by me behind the wheels and then we zoomed off.
"You want to tell me where we're going?" I ask.
"It won't be a surprise then"he grinned to himself. This better be good with all the suspense he'd been giving me or I'll end him right after he sees his baby's face. I giggled at my absurd thought.
I reached to turn the music on and bobbed to the music blasting from the speaker. Damien looked at me in amusemnt.
We drove for more miles until we came to an excluded area. It looked like a private reserved area with trees around the premises. Then he drove through a huge iron gate after his car was accessed. I raised by brows at him and he grinned.
We continued driving for like two minutes before a beautiful villa came to sight. It looked huge standing there and surrounded by a lake. The style was of bricks giving off this old and awesome vintage look.
Damien pulled to a stop and so did the red Dodge. We all came down from the cars and Damien took my hand.
"What's this about?" I asked.
"I bought it. For us" he said. My face went blank. What about the mansion we're staying at now? "I should've asked you first...." He started to say but I shushed him with a kiss to his lips.
"It's perfect but I don't understand why you bought it"
"The other mansion isn't safe and is in a busy neighborhood. I got that when I was still a bachelor. I had nothing or anyone to protect. I hardly even stayed in the house but now, I have a responsibility" his hands cupped my cheek pulling me near to him. "And I'll do anything to keep you and our baby safe"
I nodded with a smile. "I love you"
We kissed and broke apart before he took my hands and led us inside the house. I don't even think we could finish seeing around the house in one day. So huge!
"It has tight security with cameras inplanted in the area. No one comes here without being detected"
Damien squeezed my hands lovingly. He opened the glass door and I peered inside. My eyes almost dropped at the sight. The living room was large. Three times larger than our other living room. The ceiling so high and there hung a chandelier. A spiral stairs was by the side. A fireplace just below the large flat screen on the wall.
A red rug sat on the floor. The wall was bricked and vintage looking. It was like walking into the 190's only fancier, modern and expensive. The other guest room was brighter and had glass windows around. You could see more of the lake from here. The bushes and trees. And also the free grass land for playing golf. I grinned.
"It's all perfect"
"I'm glad you love it. Now for the surprise" he smiled pointing to the little center table. On it sat a folded envelope. "Pick it up"
I strolled to the table and picked up the envelope and opened it. Running my eyes over the tickets in it, I read the logo. Tickets to the Philippines.
Damien came up behind me and wrapped his hands round my waist. He pulled my back against his chest.
"Tickets?"
"For our honeymoon" he said behind my ears and I almost cried. I turned around and flung my arms around his neck.
"Oh God! Damien...I love you"
He chuckled carrying me in his arms and I wrapped my legs round his waist.
"I know how much you wanted us to have a honeymoon" he said with a smile as I stared at him lovingly.
"So the mansion wasn't the big surprise" I grinned.
"I figured this would be bigger and judging by your expression, it's worth it" he kissed the tip of my nose.
"It is worth it. Bigger than any surprise" I smiled.
"When we get back from the Philippines, we're moving in here. We'll start our family here" he nuzzled his nose against my neck.
"Sounds like a plan"
"Yeah...now why don't I show you the bedroom" he smirked and I laughed. "I thought I'd save the best for the last"
"Lead the way Mr Forrest"
The sun was already going down and I've given Damien many kisses than I can count. We didn't only golf but barbecued. Rose came over and helped us with steaks. We found a shady spot with a wooden table and trunks like stools round the table. It looked man-made though but it was pretty."Thanks for the steaks, Rose"Rose smiled at me and nodded before going back to the grill. Everyone was much too hungry after the games to even talk. Chloe of all people was stuffing her face with potatoes and steak at the same time."We should do this every weekday Dammy" Elle said. I cringed at the name she called him because once upon a time, Bethany had called him that and it annoyed the hell out of me. Still annoys me."Are you planing to stay here much longer?" Damien frowned and I hit his leg under the table. He stared at me and I mouthed be nice. He rolled his eyes at me and dug his fork into his steak.
Danielle hit the ball so hard, we couldn't find where it flew to. It's a warm Wednesday and we're both playing golf and bonding over food and makeup."Do you think it ran into the trees?" Elle asked. She bent down and picked another golf ball."Guess so"I placed my hand to shield my eyes from the sun. Elle had told me to take a cap with him but I'd blantanly refused. I thought it'd be weird wearing a summer dress, tennis shoes and a cap. Oh and let me not fail to mention that I'm pregnant. Now I see she had a point."Do you hear that?" I asked Elle.There was a humming sound coming toward us. Like a truck but it didn't have that rugged sound. Elle dropped her ball down next to a hole and gave it a tiny tud. The ball rolled slowly along the well trimmed grass until it entered into the hole.I clapped my hands as Elle jumped up and down. That's her first win today.
Coming to the house Damien bought for us over a month ago again felt like coming into a totally different place. The place was transformed and looked pretty. Fortunately for me, Damien didn't change anything about the interior of the sitting room because I'd loved the modern yet vintage setting.And of course, I didn't fail to notice the double security Damien put up. Since the house was by the water side, I think he has this idea that I might be kidnapped again by water and all that shit. I don't even know all the crazy stuffs that go through that guys head. He thinks I'm a baby that need pampering!"Would you like a feet massage before Mr Forrest get back from work?" The plump lady in front of me asked. She's not Rose. This house has more maids than I could ever imagine. So Rose is like the head of them all. AND NO!....."I don't need a foot massage!" I state with a loud and clear voice, hoping sh
The moment we stepped back into the ballroom, Bethany's eyes zeroed on me and I gave her a little, tight smirk. She rolled her eyes and looked away. Haha sucker! Damien pulled out my seat and then excused himself. I was left with Bethany and some others at the table.I wish I had brought my phone so I didn't have to stare at her stupid face all the time. I dragged my hands over my tummy as the blonde by my side smiled at me. I smiled at her. She wasn't here before so I guess she just arrived."Hello. I guess your here with Damien" she said and I nodded."He's my husband" I smiled and she chuckled."Why, it's nice to meet you" her voice sounded English. Her thick accent also complimented her tight blonde bun and black Versache gown. I bet she has a black or silver sandal to go with it. Her eyes were also masked with thick mascara and smoky eyes. She's pretty and I'll hate to think she was one of Da
As I sat in the Limo, I tried not to remember the last time I and Damien were together in this same Limo. I had gone over myself that night.Damien squeezed my hands and I stared up at him. There's no telling what would transpire at this event. We might meet Alberto and we might not meet him. We might find out that he was the one who sent those kidnappers and we might learn that he's not the one. And even if he told us what we needed to know, how would we know that he was telling the truth??."Just remember to smile always and if you feel nauseous or sick at any moment, just tell me and I'd get you out of there" Damien went over the note of the night."Alright. You've told me that like seventy times now" I sighed and he chuckled.."I just want you to be happy and safe at the same time."The Limo came to a stop and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. This wasn't one of chloes fa
I woke up with movement above me. I opened one eye slowly so I don't go blind from the brightness of the room. Damien smiled when he saw I was awake."Good morning, beautiful" he hummed and then planted a kiss to my lips. "I made you breakfast""Hmm...I like the sound of that" I grinned."Sure you do. Come" he took my hand and helped me seat up. I relax against the head board and he fetched a tray of what smelled like chocolate chilli tart. There was a rose by the side ."Damien. You're incredible" I brushed my nose against his. "I love you""I love you. Now eat before I loose my patience" he smirked."Pervert!" I called out and he shrugged. I found myself digging into the tarte and boy, was it good. Yes it was. I dipped my finger into the Marple syrup by the side and stuck it in front of Damien."Have a syrup" I teased."Are you kidding m
