CHAPTER SEVEN
I woke up when I felt someone caress my cheek. When I opened my eyes I saw Wallace smiling at me while squatting on the side of the bed. This is not the first time that my heart beats fast like this because of his smile. But it always seems new to me and I still don’t seem to be used to it.
“Hi,” I greeted him and smiled back at him.
“I’ll be leaving later. Your brother and I have a meeting. I made soup for you to lessen your hangover. Do you still have a headache?”
“Little.” I slowly got up and he supported me.
“Just take a quick shower to make you feel better,” he said with a caress on my head. “How’s your feeling down there?” I feel my cheek heat up at the way he asks me. It’s like I suddenly became a teenager.
“A little bit sore but it’s ok than earlier.”
“I put warm water after our first, you didn’t notice because you fell asleep right away. Anyway, I’ll prepare the soup. Take a bath first to feel better.” He stood up when I suddenly took his hand.
“Wallace.” He turned to me with astonishment.
“Yes? Does anything hurt?” He asked worriedly.
“No, nothing. I just want to tell that thank you for making me happy. I’ve never been happy like this before.”
“Diana —”
“Don’t worry, I’m not pushing you to like me back and it’s clear to me what you said about no commitment, fuck buddies for short. As I said, let’s enjoy the ride.”
“I don’t want you to get hurt, Diana, especially if I’m the reason. Not because I’m afraid of Dylan, because I’m not. But because you did not deserve it.”
“I am happy, right now.”
“Then, I am glad that I make you happy. All right, take a shower.” He left the room so I went to the bathroom. While taking shower the smile on my lips could not be erased. This is the best birthday gift ever because the man I love was with me last night before it ended until now.
This is the first time that I feel like this. Never in my entire life that I experience this kind of happiness. I may be happy in the past due to the achievement and appreciation that I received. But those are nothing compared to the happiness in how I feel now.
I know this won’t last that long and I am aware of that. Soon, it will end as well. Maybe when my brother finds out, maybe when he’s bored, or maybe he can find someone he really loves. But whatever it is —- I will be happy with the outcome. Because once in my life I give myself satisfaction and happiness. Above all, I am true to myself.
I am happy because I did what I wanted not because others wanted it for me. Not to please them but myself. Not because that’s what they want but because that’s what I want. So if I fail and get hurt by my nonsense stupidity I will gladly accept it. I maybe cry but with a smile.
I’d rather be hurt because of my stupidity with Wallace than receive praise from others for something I really don’t want.
When I finished bathing I just dressed in a simple dress. I don’t have anything to do right now so I’ll just stay here first. When I came out, the table was set.
“Hi,”
“Ow, you’re already there, just seat and I prepare your food.” I wanted to laugh at what he said but I just held back. It was as if he were the owner of the house and I was the guest. “Hey!”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Huh?”
“I said, seat.” I couldn’t stop my laughter which made him frown. “Diana?”
“Don’t mind me and I’m just happy. It’s as if I’m the guest here. Don’t get me wrong, it’s ok with me that you tampered with my kitchen which is rarely used. I’m just really laughing.” I still haven’t stopped laughing.
“Is that so?” he asked. But I was surprised when he suddenly pulled me closer to him. He grabbed my waist and because I was surprised and too close to our faces I grabbed his arm. “I hate when someone makes fun of me, Diana, and you know what the punishment they received?”
I’m not scared even with the seriousness of his face staring at me. I just swallowed when I saw her red lips pitying as her eyes stared at me.
“W-what?” I stuttered the question.
“This.” He kissed me passionately while holding my neck. His tongue knocked my lips so I inserted it. Our kiss became passionate and we both sighed as we continued to do so. I don’t know how many minutes we were like that until we voluntarily stopped as well. We sighed and stared at each other.
“Your lips are the sweetest lips I’ve ever tasted, Diana. You made me insane in your kiss, in your lips, in everything on you.”
“W-Wallace?” He didn’t answer but he just stared at me. Why so? His stare at me was so overwhelming. I could not take my gaze away from him because I could see my own reflection in his eyes. “W-Wallace?”
“Let’s eat.” He helped me to seat and he also put the food in my bowl. I swallowed while looking at the food. A pasta topped with broth and colored white finished with carrots, cabbage, and ground chicken. Sorry, but — what is this exactly?
“Diana, something wrong?”
“Ah, ha, nothing Wallace,” I said. How do I tell him?
“You’re not familiar with food right?”
“Sort of,” I replied. “But don’t get me wrong. I will eat.” I quickly grabbed the spoon.
“It’s called pasta soup, Diana.” I’m not that overreacting but I just saw it now. “Taste it. Dylan really enjoyed that. ”
“Dylan, eat this?”
“Hmph, I learned that from him. And first, I didn’t know that either. But it tastes good.” Sometimes I also don’t know what Dylan had in his life. “Try it.”
I have no choice but to taste it. I only tasted the soup first. I just nodded when I tasted it. It doesn’t taste bad, I’m just not really used to it so I don’t feel that much. I was about to take a sip of the soup when I noticed Wallace staring at me.
“Wallace, something wrong?”
“Nothing,”
“Are you sure?” It was as if something was wrong with the way he stare at me and I didn’t know what running on his mind right now.
“Yeah,”
“Okay.” Though, I’m not convinced I continued eating. It’s delicious.
“Diana,” he called so I turned to him. Why he’s so damn serious?
“Hmph?”
“No string attach. Please don’t fall for me because I don’t want to hurt you.” I give him a smile and wink. I know he’s worried about Dylan and I can’t blame him. I’m also worried for him but I don’t want to miss this chance to be with him for a while even though I know he only wants my body. I love him and I am willing to give him myself because I’m happy.
“You can’t count on that, Wallace. I am happy with what we have right now.” I lowered the spoon and faced him. “Don’t worry about me.”
“Thanks for understanding, Diana.” He stood up and pulled up his chair and approached me. “You’re irresistible, Diana,” he said while tightening his jaw so I swallowed.
“Wallace,”
“Fuck, Diana, just looking at you makes me immediately get hard.” He pulled me closer to him and kissed me torridly. And the next thing that happened — I was the one he ate while my body was lying on the table covered with soup broth and with vegetables in my stomach.
