Home

Damien heard something and stood up. Those footsteps, light yet moving so fast were heading to the house.

He breathed moving to the door but stopped as it open. She stood there huffing.

The warm smile on her face.

"I made it " she smiled catching her breath.

"Mila "he called her name.

Moving in she threw her things away running to him.

"Am home? "she said.

He saw her run to him and without thinking opened his arms scooping her up right into his arms.

"Welcome home, "he said holding her up

Mila smiled pulling away She realised her feet were in the air. He was carrying her in his arms with so much like she didn't weigh anything.

"Did you wait too long?" she. asked.

He looks up at her with so much care and softness.

"You made sure I didn't, thank you for coming home, "he said.

She beamed.

"So does this mean you're fine with sharing the bed?" he asked

She blinked.

"Huh?".

He chuckled.

"Isn't it? the reason why you. didnt want to move in with me?" he asked

"I never said that...and why are we sharing the room " she asked.

"Then why didn't you come earlier "

She sighed moving to hug him again.

"You promised not to ever hate me like they always do "she mumbled.

He could feel her still thumping heart.

"Yes I did, "he said.

"Then please stick to it," she said.

"I will, " he said.

He gently placed her down and they walked into the living room.

"How did you know the address of my place " he asked.

She only knew the one they stayed in out of the city.

"I went to Doctor Ian and he gave it to me, "she said.

He had ignored his friend's calls thinking he was calling to mock him about Mila. Maybe it wasn't about that.

He sighed. "I see "

She sat down and noticed the maid from last time walk in.

"Joy " she beamed.

Joy stopped bowing her head.

"Welcome back, Mistress " she let out.

"Oh, thank you. But I told you guys to not do that stuff of bowing " she smiled.

Joy moved back.

"Should I serve dinner?" she asked.

"Ah...can I take a shower first...if it's alright," said Mila.

Damien nodded.

"Joy will take you to your room, "he said.

"Ahhh....I thought we...." she stopped.

Damien smiled.

"What's wrong, Mila "

"Nothing, "she said getting up.

"I thought you didn't want us to share the room?" he said.

"No, I...I.." she turned walking away.

He chuckled.

Joy took her bag and jacket and led her up the stairs.

"This is your room " She opened the door.

Mila walked in and stopped.

"Ah, Joy are you sure this is my room " she asked.

Joy walked in and placed her things down on the bed.

"Yes am sure. The master told us to get everything in here in your best colour, purple "she pointed out.

Mila breathed.

"I get but isn't it a little too much?" she asked.

"I don't think so, we had to leave some 'cause they would not fit in...Master was angry " she let out.

Mila giggled.

"Mistress, is it to your liking?".

"I love it, thank you, Joy," she said.

Joy nodded and showed her where her things were and the bathroom after which she left.

Mila went into the bathroom and took her shower.

.....

Damien was at the table waiting for Mila as the servants brought in the food.

"Am sorry, I took so long "she said walking in.

Damien sat up to watch her head to the table.

She was dressed in a very familiar shirt matched with short black pants.

He gulped seeing her long pearless legs.

Damien got up and pulled her seat, and Mila sat down.

"Thank you "

He sat back down and they went ahead with dinner.

Damien received a call after dinner and excused himself. Mila went ahead and helped the maids with cleaning up.

"Joy can I help with anything?" she asked

"Everything is being handled Mistress, you can go ahead to bed," she said.

She left the kitchen and walked around. Damien was still on his call in the living room.

Heading upstairs to her room. She brushed her teeth and headed to bed.

"Wait Mila..you haven't thanked him yet for letting you stay here," she said to herself.

She climbed out of bed and ran out. But stopped finding Damien still on his phone.

He noticed her.

"I have to go now " he said hanging up.

"Am sorry I just wanted to say something "she said.

"I was done " he sat down.

"Thank you for letting me stay here, "she said. "If there is anything I can do for you in return please let me know "

He was silent and Mila called on him.

"Damien ".

"Anything?" he asked.

Mila frowned but nodded.

He got up, "Okay, let's go to bed then "

"Oh okay "

She followed him upstairs and moved to her room but his hand pulled her back.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"To bed "she pointed to her room.

"It's this way," he said

She felt him drag her away to the upper floor where his room was.

"This is my room " he said opening the door.

"Ahh, why am I...." her eyes looked around. It was bigger than hers.

"To sleep...you said you would do anything ".

"Yes but...."

"This is what I want in return," he said.

"Huh, you want...".

"Sleep with you, "he said.
