Chapter Thirty-Three
Angela walked into her class with swollen lips, trying to cover her neck. "What happened to you?" Juliette asked her in concern.
"Damian kissed me," she said shyly.
Juliette's jaws fell to the floor. She pulled aside her top a little and saw the vivid love bite that Damian gave her on her neck. Her eyes widened and she looked at Angela who looked dazed too.
"Oh," said Juliette. She didn't have any idea how it felt to be kissed by a man. In her eighteen years of life, she never had a boyfriend and no guy had ever kissed her. She had always led a sheltered and protected life.
Damian walked in with a shit-eating grin on his face and winked at Angela as he passed by. Angela's face colored and she peered into her book on the table.
"Are you two together now?" Asked Juliette.
"Yes, we're dating each other. Damian had asked me to be his girlfriend, yesterday. I accepted, " Angela informed her and Juliette gaped at her in surprise.
"Wow, so soon?" She asked.
"Soon? I've known him since birth. We had feelings for each other since we were twelve or thirteen, " informed Angela, and Juliette's jaws dropped.
"Aww," she said and Angela grinned.
After college, Angela took Juliette to her house. She showed her Damian's house from her balcony. Damian and Xavion also returned home. After Juliette left with Xavion, Angela walked to the grocery store. There was nothing at home and she needed groceries to prepare dinner. Adam was at home after a rigorous shift and he didn't wish to accompany her.
She walked down to the local shopping mart to buy her stuff. Buying the bare necessities to make dinner, she paid and walked out.
"So you are Damian's latest crush?" Said a bitchy voice, full of malice.
She looked up into a pair of jet black eyes full of hatred for her. A short girl of her age, wearing a black pair of shorts and a purple tube top stood in front of her with her legs apart.
"No, I'm his girlfriend, not a crush. Why are you so interested?" She asked in the same tone. She was angry with these bitches bothering her all the time. It was high time that they all knew that she and Damian belonged to each other.
"High hopes, bitch," she said, rolling her eyes.
"Bitches like you hope. I don't. We've been together since we were twelve," she informed her. Her jaws dropped and she stared at Angela with renewed hatred.
"Look bitch. If you don't stay away from Damian, you'll be in trouble. Caitlyn, Evelyn, and I and our whole group will make you repent that you were ever born," she threatened, coming closer to Angela.
Angela fumed with anger bubbling inside her,"Why should I stay away from Damian? We will be getting married soon. Tell Caitlyn to come to face me not sent her cheap minions to threaten me," she yelled at the girl.
She scowled at Angela, "How dare you speak to me in that tone, you bitch?" She yelled. Her hand coming up to slap Angela with venom.
Angela was prepared for it. She caught hold of her hand and twisted it behind her. She yelped out in pain. "Don't even dream of hitting me. I'll break your hands and throw you at Caitlyn's doorstep," she yelled back.
The girl whimpered and Angela left her hand. "You'll repent this, bitch," she said.
"Mind your own business bitch or are you whores really not getting enough fucks that you have to run after my Damian?" Angela laughed. "Is my boyfriend the only guy on this planet?" She asked.
The girl stared at her and Angela just walked away, "Ask Caitlyn to come and face me and Damian, " she said, going home.
She saw Damian at his doorstep and gestured to him to follow her. She walked to the bus stop and Damian followed her. She waited for him near the bus stop and he caught up with her.
"What happened baby?" He asked in concern.
She told him everything that happened with the girl who wanted to threaten her at Caitlyn's orders. Damian listened intently. "I'm proud of you. I'm sick of these girls and their threats," he said, angrily.
"I hope it won't have any bad effect upon uncle Ronald, " she said with apprehension.
Damian sighed,"I didn't tell you but Caitlyn calls me every day from different numbers. I've stopped taking calls from unknown numbers. If it weren't for my dad, I would have taught her the lesson of her life," he admitted.
Angela nodded in understanding. "I know. Can we talk to uncle Ronald about this Caitlyn case? It's getting on my nerves now," said Angela.
Damian nodded, "I will try at an appropriate time," he said. They walked to an ice-cream stall and ate ice-creams to cool themselves off. Harry called Damian asking him to meet him at his house. They went to Steffi and Harry's house to check out what the matter was.
Steffi opened the door with a smile. "Come on in guys," she said, moving away from the door to allow them inside the house.
Harry was sitting in the living room on his laptop. He got up to greet them, hugging both of them. "Are you guys together now?" He asked with a wink.
"Yes, Angel's, at last, agreed to be my girlfriend, " he admitted and Steffi squealed with delight.
"Congratulations guys," she said.
They all sat down in the living room. "Is anything up?" Asked Damian and Harry looked at Steffi.
"Actually there's a girl in my cosmetology class called Kim. We never talked to each other ever but today she caught up with me and asked me to tell Angela to leave Damian. She forced an envelope into my hands asking me to give it to you, Damian," said Steffi with a worried expression on her face. She got up to get the envelope from her backpack.
She handed it to Damian and he opened it and read it,
Dear Damian,
Since you've stopped taking my calls, I'm forced to send you a letter through my friend Kim.
I heard that you've found a girl to fuck. Believe me, I won't allow anyone near you. Either you leave her immediately or face the consequences. I won't warn you again. I will finish your dad and force him to end his life.
You chose who you want in your life. Your dad or your fuck buddy?
Caitlyn.
He handed the note to Angela and Steffi and Harry too peered into the note to read it. Angela was scared after reading it.
"Damian, should we inform the police now?" She asked him.
"I think I'll talk to dad first, " he said with a sigh.
Harry too agreed that they should inform uncle Ronald first before taking any step. Damian and Angela went home walking hand in hand.
"Don't delay this talk Damian," she advised.
"I won't but dad needs to be in his right mind for him to realize what's happening. He's always drunk when he returns home at night," he complained and Angela felt bad for him.
"He hasn't come home last night, " Damian said. "We had such a nice talk the night before my birthday. He wasn't drunk. I don't know why he can't be like that every day. The next morning, he wished me on my birthday," sighed Damian.
"He might be very depressed Damian. You have to talk to him," she advised and Damian nodded.
"When he's drunk, he doesn't respond to me at all," he said with a sigh. "Still I'll try. Don't worry," he said. They reached their houses and Angela walked into her house with the grocery.
"Are you and Damian together?" Asked Adam suddenly and Angela dropped the packet of pasta she was holding to the floor out of shock.
"I, it's not what you think, Adam, " she stammered bending to pick up the packet.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, " he said reassuring her.
"Yes, Damian and I love each other. He had asked me to be his girlfriend and I accepted him, " said Angela, hesitantly.
"I knew it. You guys were too much into each other to be just friends, " he said and Angela smiled.
"How did you know?" She asked him.
"Well, I found this letter in the letterbox," he said, handing her a piece of paper that looked exactly like the one Steffi had given Damian.
She took it and opened the folded letter. It read,
Damian is mine. Don't ever think of having anything to do with him. I will finish you as well as Damian.
Caitlyn
"What's going on, Angie? Who's threatening you guys?" He asked.
Angela told him everything and Adam thought about it. "I know a good private investigator who can find out what she's up to. Do you want his help?" Asked Adam.
"I'll ask Damian and inform you," said Angela. "Adam please don't tell dad now. He doesn't want Damian and I to be together. I'll tell him myself when the time is right," she said and Adam nodded.
