“There’s something I want to tell you”
“And what is it?”
“That I love you”
Love her? Out of the blue, he begins to love her. He sure knows how to make her feel good. But this one, it’s way too extreme. Why would he want to love her now? Why would he confess to what he doesn’t feel!
Making her feel like a lost puppy as De_ra described earlier. That’s really suffocating!
“Dee…”
“I really…”He interrupted her, making her more pissed off. What is he trying to prove? Looking back at it now, right from when she met him. He had always hurt her.
That day when he came into 12th grade and introduced himself to the class. That day, when he took a seat beside her. That day, when he first smiled and offered to help her with her assignment. That day, when he gave her a piggy ride. That day, she wept on his shoulder and he consoled her. He had always hurt her. By the way he tried to care. By the way he sympathize with her and nag at her.
It’s frustrating and embarrassing! Acting all the time as if the world revolves around him. Crazy perfectionist!
Tch! A nut job!
“You sure knows how to make me feel less sympathetic…” She found her voice snapping as she hung up the phone.
The tears she had locked up suddenly gave way. She began to sob. As she sat inside the taxi heading to Jeff’s place, she wondered why she had to suck up his rude attitude until now.
She will never see him again. She have to stop. Not when De_ra is involved now.

“Why do you keep checking your phone Mr. Damien?” Vero asked as she walked into his living room, where he sat, tossing his phone and sighing over and over again.
It’s been three days. She haven’t even bothered to page him. And she won’t take his calls too. Isn’t she being too harsh on him?
How many times have he typed I’M SORRY in her DM? Why will she make life to miserable for him? To think that she thought he was being sympathetic hurts him the most.
He sighed again.
“I’ll go get you a drink.” She said and left to the bar stand. She came back and dropped the wine glass infront of him. She held onto hers. She took a sip and nudged his shoulder.
“Have a drink.”
“I’m not in the mood for that.” he sighed again.
“Why do you keep sighing like that?”
“It’s just…I have a lot on my mind.”
“If it’s about Miss De_ra, I already have that taken care of. The board members already approved to have a merger with the company…”
“Not that.” He interrupted.
“Is it about the new project? Expanding our business to Gangnam, Seoul is a great idea and…”
“Not that.”
“Okay, it’s not about the ad project? I told you that I have got a model for that.”
“Stop talking business! It’s making me feel dizzy.” he complained relaxing himself into her body.
“What is it then?” she asked patting his head.
“Diane…She’s making life horrible for me. ”

“Jasmine! Damien is making life horrible for me. He does wh@tëver he wants. He says wh@tëver he feels like saying. He…” she recalled his hot gaze on her skin and she cursed silently. “He treats me as he wants and pity me! I never told him I need his pity. I never told him that I want him to sympathize with me. Love??” she chuckled and at the same time stamped her feet on the floor which got her friend startled. “How can he use that to make me feel better? Am I that cheap?” she stopped trying to take a breath.
“Will you calm down? You’ve been rattling since. I don’t even get what you are talking about.”
She hissed, “I can’t believe that I had been with him for ten years! ” she counted off her finger, “Ten years Jasmine! And every time, he had always made me miserable.”
“You know Dee more than I do. But I don’t think he made your life miserable.”
“He did and he’s still doing it.”
Jasmine crossed her arms and adjusted on her seat. With her brows raised up, “Now tell me, what did he do this time?”
“So many things.”
“Like??”
She suddenly felt nervous. Yeah, what did he do in particular? How did she start to care about wh@tëver he does? He had been a jerk for a long time. Why did it suddenly begin to hurt her so much.
“Don’t tell me you still love him.”
“I don’t! I I stopped loving him many years ago.”
Jasmine chuckled.
“You sound like you do.”
“No! Jeff shouldn’t even hear that. We just made up.”
“Jeff? I thought you were done with him for good.”
“I just…” she fell silent. Getting back with Jeff? She can’t believe she’s back to dating him again. “I love him.”
“Or you’re trying to love him.”
“I do.”
“My guts tells me that you love Dee. You can’t hide that. It’s all over your face. You never stopped loving him.”
She shook her head. No way. She’s not in love with Dee. Yeah, she admit, she had a thing for him and that’s why they had s3x. Speaking of that, her cheeks hit up.
So, why did she get so worn out when she saw him with De_ra? Because she h@tës De_ra. She never got along with her in the first place and…Hold on, why did she cry so badly inside the taxi and vowed not to see Dee again? He didn’t do anything wrong if she put things this way. Wasn’t she hoping to start up something with him.
She stood up and grabbed her bag. “Jasmine, I will be back.”
She ran out of Jasmine’s house. She boarded a taxi and was on her way to Dee’s house.

“Look Veronica, you don’t seem to understand what I’m saying.”
” I do.”
“You do? I love Diane and am going crazy about it.”
She nodded and just then, the door bell rang, “Let me get the door.” she said and went over to the door. She opened it.
“Hey Diane!” She called. He heard her. He walked towards the door and peeped.
There, the sweet monster who is fond of tormenting his soul stood, staring right back at him.
“You show up?”
“Am I not allowed to come here anymore?”
“You’ve been ignoring my calls and text and now you show up.”He said angrily.
“I think I should be leaving now Mr. Damien, see you at work tomorrow.” she bowed and left the two of them.
Diane walked in and banged the door behind her.
“I wonder what your secretary is doing here. You guys have gotten pretty close. Does De_ra know about this?”
“Diane stop.”
“I should stop? You can’t be ridiculous! You play with my heart as you want and now you wanna whine like a baby!”
“What are you saying?”
She grabbed his collar and dragged him closer to her, she smirked.
“What’s your deal?”
