CHAPTER TWENTY
Ever since I got the support of my friends everything has been ok for me. Wallace and I are also open in public sometimes, but, we do put limits anyway. I still don’t want my family to be embarrassed.
But somehow, I noticed Wallace changed. I don’t know why but lately he doesn’t seem to feel like talking to me. He only said he was tired. We’ll only have sex once. It’s not an issue for me but it’s just new. I mean, we still don’t have a label but it looks like little changes compared to before.
I’m going to Dylan’s gym to surprise Wallace. No one was inside but I noticed Dylan’s office was open so I stayed there. I was about to enter when I heard the conversation from inside.
“Are you okay?” It was Cluster voice. “Is it because of what other trainers gossip? Do not mind them. They’re just jealous. Then you heard Dylan say ‘didn’t you? As long as Diana wants you to stay. He doesn’t care but supports you two. He already removed that two here.”
I haven’t heard anything from Wallace. Are they talking about us?
“‘Bro.” I heard Wallace scoff when Cluster called him.
“As long as Diana likes it. What if Diana suddenly refused?” he asked frowning. “What if she gets bored? Is it okay because she’s Dylan’s sister?”
“It seems impossible because I think Diana likes you.”
“Diana is still Dy when she says it’s over.”
“But isn’t that what you said you have no label? So what’s wrong if you both refuse and let it go?”
“Fuck!” Wallace said softly.
I heard someone walks to my place but from outside. I hide behind the big statue. This is Dylan of Majinbu’s human-size collection. Ever since he was young he has been fond of collecting fat Majinbu and Shin Chan.
I felt someone approaching my place and entered Dylan’s office and in a few moments, it was gone. I go out from where I hid and listen to them. But just after I came out I heard Wallace’s loud scream.
“I said leave me alone!”
“‘Bro she’s still a girl.”
“After you stole me from Dylan, that’s it, Wallace?!” It was Isabelle’s voice so I frowned.
“Isabelle, it’s not Wallace’s fault that Dylan doesn’t like you now. You kissed him while Dylan was sleeping with you,” It’s Cluster.
“Because he said he likes me.”
“Every man would say that only to score with a woman,” It was Cluster again. “Even me, just tell me that you will sleep with me. I will even kneel in front of you,” he added.
“Leave Isabelle,” Wallace said calmly.
“I know that you hope that you can get her. Do you think you’ve hit the jackpot with her? Let’s see how long she will stay with you. I guess you forgot Diana is Dy and like Dylan when she doesn’t want to, she can easily dispose of you. Well, contact me anytime when she dumps you and I am willing to please you.”
I heard footsteps but before they could reach the place I preceded to hide.
I exited the gym and went to Wallace’s room. He did lock the door as always because there’s no use for it so I’m free to go in and out. When I am inside I sent a message that I was here. Just a few minutes later he also arrived.
“Hi,” I greeted him and kissed him.
“What are you doing here?”
“Are you ok?” I asked immediately. As if I did not hear anything earlier.
“Yeah, tired.” He lay down on the bed with both feet on the floor and both hands on his head.
“Wallace?”
“Hmph?”
“I miss you.” I didn’t hear anything from him so I just gasped. I sat on the bed and waited for him to speak but he suddenly pulled me and hugged me. “Wallace.”
“Let me hug you and let’s remain like this. Hug me back, Diana.” I follow what he said. I hugged him and we were facing each other as we hugged. “It’s nice to hug you.”
“I know.”
“I hope we can be like this forever.”
“Wallace.”
“Shh, let me hug you. I want to sleep in your arms.” I let Wallace do what he wanted until he fell asleep. While sleeping I couldn’t help but keep an eye on him. What’s wrong with this man that I love so much? The first time I looked at him, I knew in myself that he was the one I wanted to be with.
That’s why I liked Cooper then because they look a little like Wallace. And Cooper knew that I like Wallace but he wasn’t jealous. And I also found out the reason. Because he’s gay. I am not mad at him, we are far from each other now because he is in the US but we are still friends and we still have contact.
I caressed Wallace’s face. I know what we are but I really can’t help but be thrilled. I feel like everything he does to me has meaning. I feel so damn special. I can’t explain how I always feel for him. I kissed him while sleeping but I was surprised when he touched me and he was on top of me.
“I’ve been restraining myself but you’re really challenging me.”
“Wallace.”
“I said I will sleep to avoid the heat I feel. But you are tempting me, Diana.”
“I didn’t know that-”
“Now you know.”
“Wallace,” He kissed me on my neck and cupped my bosom.
“You should know that every time you’re near, I am already lost to myself. And he touched me anywhere until we ended up playing with fire.
I FIXED myself and so did Wallace. He helped me get dressed but before he adjusted the zipper of my dress he first ran his finger down my back.
“Wallace, stop it. You’ve had too much.”
“I want more.” And he pulled me closer to him.
“You said you have a walk.”
“Yeah, with Dylan.”
“Where are you going?” He did not answer my question. “Fine, it’s ok if you don’t answer.”
“We will meet your dad.” I was fixed because of what he said.
“Why?”
“We have a proposal for Dylan’s gym and endorsement. I’m not sure yet but since I’m Dylan’s coach/promoter I need to be with him.”
“Don’t go,” I stopped him.
“Why?”
“Maybe he’ll just say something else.”
“You mean about us?”
“Maybe,” I replied.
“Don’t worry. Your dad is professional so I know that our issue will not be included in the business.” He clasped my face and kissed me. “Don’t worry.”
“But-”
“What you fear will not happen.”
“I’m counting on you.”
“I am all yours, Diana, as long as you need me.”
“I need you always. And I will stay with also as long as you need me,”
