Damian’s Obsession

Damian walked towards me and uncovered the dishes. My mouth almost watered. Pancakes.. My favourite dish.

I didn’t waste time and started eating but not too fast like yesterday. Damian sat beside me and started digging into his food too.

After eating in silence for a while, Damian paused to stare at me.

“What is it?” I asked when his lang gaze started to make me uncomfortable.

“I want to make you an offer.” He started.

“Go on…..” I muttered.

“Since you’re jobless for now, you’ll have to earn your keep while living with me. So, I want you to come work in my club.” He said.

I almost spat out my food.

What??????!!!!!!

What did he just say?? I hope he isn’t asking me to work as a stripper.

“You’ll be working as my P. A. ” He said like he had read my thoughts.

I almost sighed in relief.

“You’ll be by my side throughout and do what ever I want you to do.” He continued.

“Whatever??” I asked feeling hesitant.

My mind had started to wander.

“Don’t worry. I won’t make you do what you aren’t ready for. I just want you close to me.” He said.

“What if I want to decline your offer?” I asked.

“Your choice but you’ll still have to follow me wherever I go. The only difference is that I won’t pay you.” He answered calmly.

Pay me???

“How much??” I asked trying to hide my sudden interest.

“1000 dollars a week.” He said.

I almost screamed. 1000 dollars a week??? In a month that’s 4000 dollars just to follow him around??

“Are you interested?” I heard him ask.

Hell yeah.. But I won’t let him know that.

“I’ll think about it.” I answered instead.

“What’s there to think about? This is a one in a lifetime chance. All your problems could be solved with just this.” My inner woman said to me.

“I know what I’m doing.” I answered before shutting her off.

I can’t let him know I’m deslerate if not, he’ll definitely rub it in my face.

Even though I’m broke…. for now, I’ve got my pride to protect.

He smiled and nodded instead.

He was done with his food and was about to stand up when I held him back.

“Have you came to a decision so soon?” He asled smugly.

Wait… has he been waiting for my answer?? Very funny.

“No. I just want to collect my phone.” I answered.

“Why’s that?” He asked.

“I’ve been holed up in thus place for about two days now but it’s really getting frustrating since I’m not connected to the internet.” I answered.

He stared at me suspiciously at first.

“I have no one to talk to about my predicament. You yourself knows that.” I tried to convince him.

He was silent for a while. His face was void if any emotions. It was really hard to read him. Then he stood up.

“Those that mean I’m getting my phone back?” I asked as I stood up too.

“No.” He answered curtly.

He walked out of the room and I followed closely behind him.

“I promise not to do anything suspicious. I won’t call anyone.” I pleaded as I continued to trail behind him.

“Obviously ” I heard him say.

I was confused. After walking and pleading with him for what felt like hours, he finally stopped in front of his office.

He opened the door and walked in while I followed closely behind him. He opened a drawer and brought out a new phone.

“You’ll be using this as from now on.” He said.

“That’s not my phone.” I reminded.

“I don’t trust you enough to give you your old phone. If you really want to just use the internet, having a new phone won’t be a problem.” He said.

“Okay.” I agreed hesitantly.

A half loaf of bread is better than none.

“First, you have to agree to what we discussed earlier.” He said.

“I told you I’ll think about it.”

“I need your answer now.” He said impatiently.

“Whatever… I’ll work as your P. A as long as you pay me regularly.” I answered tiredly.

He released a triumphant smile.

“Here…” He placed the phone on my hands.

“I’ve saved my number in it. Call me whenever you have any problem.” He said.

I put on the phone and checked to see his said number. I frowned when I saw he saved it as ‘My master’.

“Don’t even try to change it.” He warned.

Whatever, it’s not like he’ll be there when I eventually do so.

“Do you like the phone?” He asked.

“Yes.. but my old one’s better.” I answered before sitting on a sifa and surfing the internet.

Over the past few days, nothing has changed. It was the same old news with Damian’s name always as one of the top ten most searched name.

It seems everyone loves him. If only they know the type of monster he is.

I looked up from my phone to take a glance at him. He had his face buried on whatever paper work he was doing.

He looked really handsome whenever he is working. He would have been really perfect to me except that he’s a murderer.

“Take a picture. It will last longer.” His deep voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Don’t flatter yourself. I wasn’t admiring you.” I scoffed.

“I never said you were.” He answered back.

I squeezed my face in anger. He never let me get theast word. I decided to ignore him and continued with what I was doing.

*****************

“Today?” I asked in surprise.

“Yeah.” I’ve spent to much time here. I need to go check on the club.” He answered calmly.

“But…”

“You wanna get paid or not? It’s not like I’m asking you to do the impossible.” He said.

“Okay.” I agreed hesitantly.

I’m finally starting my job today. Who knows the type of work he’ll send me off to. I just need to do my best so as to get paid.

~DEVIL’S EYE CLUB~

I frowned in discomfort when the loud music emanating from the speakers reached my ears. We were still outside the club.

We had just arrived. Damian was claded in a black suit while I was puting on a silver dress which hugged my curves.

It wasn’t revealing, just a little bit short. I figured that I couldn’t wear the floral giwn to a club. I shivered as the cold breeze blew my legs.

“Make sure to always stick with me.” Damian whispered to me while I nodded in understanding.

“Boss.” The two men standing guard outside greeted with a small bow.

We finally entered the club.

I really didn’t know if I’m supposed to be here. It wasn’t this filled up the last time I visited. The whole place smelled like sweat, alcohol and cigarettes.

Suddenly, all eyes turned towards us. Most of them were staring at Damian. I admit his dark aura was enough for people to notice his presence.

Then, the eyes turned to me. Some of them were filled with envy, mostly from the half naked ladies and the rest were filled with lust.

I was stating to regret putting on this short dress.

Suddenly, I felt Damian wrap his arms possessively around my waist.

My body stiffened and I almost forgot to breath. What is he doing.

He held me closer to his body before leaving the presence of the hungry looking eyes.

This is going to be a very long night.
