Chapter Thirty-Four
The whole week Damian tried to talk to his dad but didn't get a chance. He either didn't come home or was too inebriated to talk or even walk straight for that matter.
Saturday was Angela's birthday and Steffi, Damian, and Harry were jointly planning a surprise party for her at Steffi's house. Damian already had asked her to meet him at the bus stop at 11 o'clock in the morning. In the evening, her dad wanted her home and to celebrate with her family.
He waited at the bus stop impatiently. It was already 11:15 and he just hoped Angela would hurry. Drumming his fingers impatiently upon the steering wheel, he saw Angela rushing towards his car. She climbed in and breathed out with relief.
"What happened? Why are you breathing hard?" He asked with concern.
"Oh, nothing much. Alex wanted to drop me at Steffi's apartment. I declined and rushed. His car will appear any minute, let's hurry," she said, looking through the rearview mirror.
Damian chuckled and drove off. "So you didn't notice that I wore the birthday dress you gave me yesterday?" She pouted.
"I did. You look more beautiful than I had ever imagined," he stated and Angela grinned. Damian had given her a card and the dress last night when he climbed onto her balcony at 12 o'clock midnight to wish her. He had stuffed the gifts into a backpack and strapped it on and climbed up expertly. She was stunned to hear a knock on her balcony door.
"Thank you," she said with a smile.
"What about my return gift?" asked Damian with a grin.
"What return gift do you want apart from a kiss?" She asked with a knowing smile.
"More kisses and.." he said with a wink.
"And?" She asked him.
"And that," he said, driving on.
"I'm not ready for that please," she admitted.
"Ready for what?" He asked with a shit-eating grin on his face.
"That, " she said, a blush forming on her face.
"And what is that may I ask?" He asked cheekily. Angela rolled her eyes with frustration.
"Sex. I meant I'm not ready for sex, " she said, with a sigh.
"I didn't ask for it? I only meant your birthday cake. You have such a dirty mind, Angel," he said shaking his head with a laugh.
Angela blushed crimson and smacked his arm. She knew he meant it. He was just being cheeky. She glared at him and looked out of the windows. They stopped in front of Harry and Steffi's house.
Xavion had taken drugs and had been admitted to the hospital. He was better and would be released on Sunday so he wouldn't be able to attend the party. Juliette had gone to see her family at Travis Springs.
They went to their door and pressed the doorbell. Harry opened and ushered them inside. As Angela went inside, Steffi and Harry wished her together.
Steffi brought out a cake that she had baked for her. She placed it on her dining table and they sang for her. She cut the cake and they fed her. She too fed them a slice of the cake. Steffi and Harry gave her a beautiful jewelry box. "It's exquisite. Thank you so much," she said, loving the gift.
They spent an hour at their house, talking, laughing together. "So did Caitlyn do anything else?" Asked Harry with concern.
"Yes, she dropped a threat note every day in each of our letterboxes," said Damian, with a worried expression.
"Shouldn't you file an FIR?" Asked Harry.
"I did yesterday. Today we didn't receive anything. It's so creepy. Do you think she's having us stalked?" Asked Damian.
"I think she is. How else would she know everything about you guys," agreed Harry.
"Adam had asked if you wanted to hire a PI to track down Caitlyn and see what she's up to?" Asked Angela.
"I think you should, " said Steffi.
"I wanted to talk to dad first," said Damian.
"You still haven't talked to uncle Ronald?" Asked Harry with disbelief.
"The whole week he didn't come home. Yesterday he came home in such a drunken state that he couldn't stand straight. Today since morning, his room is locked. I knocked maybe twenty-thirty times since morning," sighed Damian.
Harry felt bad for Damian. It was such a horrible life for him. He didn't understand why uncle Ronald didn't go for psychological therapy sessions. Being a doctor himself he should know better than what he was doing wasn't normal.
They talked for some time and then Damian and Angela left. Damian didn't drive her home as she had expected he would. Instead, he parked at a new restaurant that had amazing reviews for the past three months, ever since its launch.
Damian parked his car and led her inside the upscale restaurant with a contemporary look. Damian had a booking and they were guided to their seat. "Order whatever you want Angel. It's your birthday treat," he said. She grinned happily.
"You're the best boyfriend ever," she said with excitement.
"Yes, but I'm a needy one," he said with a grimace.
"What do you need?" She asked softly.
"Many things actually. The list is long and dirty. Do you wanna hear it?" He whispered into her ear while they sat side by side.
The waiter came to take their order and Angela ordered what she wanted and Damian ordered what he wanted to have. The waiter left with their orders.
"Ok, yes I want to know what my boyfriend wants, " she said with a smile.
"Come closer then," he said, pulling her close and whispering into her ear. "I want to kiss you to start with, I want to suck you, I want to eat you, I want to make love to you and I want to stay inside you till I'm satiated completely. I want to worship your body, I want to touch you everywhere, I want to taste your wet cum, I want to stay in your arms, I want to love you forever, I want to spend my life with you," he said and Angela closed her eyes.
"I want the same with you, Damian. Maybe when we are a little older we can have all that and more. I want to have a family with you, I want children too," she said with a smile of pure bliss.
"Yes, four," he said and Angela stopped.
"What four?" She asked.
"Children, we'll have four children," he said. Angela gaped at him.
"Why four?" She asked curiously.
"Two girls and two boys. That way they'll be occupied with one another and we can have some fun in our bedroom. Perfect life!" He said with a satisfied smile. Angela's jaws dropped at his explanation.
"Is that all you can think of?" She asked him, shaking her head.
"What? It's the reason why everyone marries. To have legal sex without thinking of the consequences, " he said and Angela rolled her eyes. Their food arrived thankfully and she was saved from having to think of a retort.
The meal was too enjoyable and they loved it. "Thank you, Damian, it was the most amazing birthday treat," she said honestly.
Damian took out a ring from his pocket. It was a beautiful sparkling diamond ring. He drew her hand towards him and pushed it onto her ring finger. "This is a promise ring till I propose to you," he said and Angela kissed his cheek.
"Thank you, Damian. I'll wear it till you replace it with our wedding ring," she promised.
Damian dropped her home and went to the hospital to meet Xavion. Angela spent the evening celebrating her birthday with her family. Her brother's and her dad jointly made dinner for her. She cut her cake and received lots of gifts from them all.
Damian returned home late. He noticed that his dad wasn't home again. He trudged up to his room. Thankfully after the FIR that he had lodged Caitlyn had stopped for a while. Did she get the message or was it the calm before a storm? He decided to talk to Adam and hire the private investigator tomorrow. He needed to be sure about Caitlyn's plans. It would help him prepare and protect everyone better.
He waited and waited and ultimately dozed off to sleep when his dad didn't arrive again.
The next morning he went up to his dad's room and found it locked from outside. He received a call from Grass Roots Farm and left immediately. After attending to his work he returned home on Monday morning. Quickly freshening up, he went to college.
He had a strange feeling of dread after college. He called up his dad on his mobile but it was switched off. He went home but was too restless to do anything. As he was going out to Xavion's house, he met Adam. He knew everything about Caitlyn's threat. He gave Damian the number of the private investigator, Paul Stewart. Damian discussed everything with Paul. He promised to start his investigation immediately and update Damian at the earliest.
