✍️ CHAPTER TITLE ✍️: A NIGHT IN DAMIEN’S ROOM

“What were you doing in my room?” Vera asked, not bothering about the surprised expression he gave, but instead wondering what brought him to her room by that time of the night.

“I came to check up on you,” he simply replied, eyeing the door suspiciously to note if Damien would come after the butler, but it was not so, Damien’s door remained closed.

“Me?!” Vera exclaimed, gawking questionably at him, while all he did was nod his head in confirmation.

“Do you need my help in the kitchen? It’s late Smart, and you should be sleeping by now, not working,” Vera commented, with a doubt if what he was here for could be just that. Everyone must have been sleeping, so why isn’t he?

Her eyes didn’t stop observing her environment, as she would not want anyone else to pass by and see her dressed this way. It’s easy dealing with Smart because he already knew about it.

If someone else were to find out, Damien would not be pleased with it. Assuming she didn’t come across Smart here, she would have long disappeared into Annabel’s room.

When Vera observed Smart’s movements, he was too calm than he used to appear on the other days, so she was confused.

The Smart that she knows and they were once good friends has never been this calm. He always has a new thing to yarn over and new means of taunting her.

Even after finding out the truth, Smart still wasn’t calm like this. Or could it be that he has always been like this and she failed to realize it?

“Why would I ask a princess for work by this time of the night?” Smart muttered, insinuating a question with his reply but Vera didn’t attend to that.

“Your hair is beautiful and you look pretty dressed like this. Is Master Damien aware now?” Smart asked, pocketing his two hands in his trousers while watching her closely.

“He doesn’t know,” Vera replied sharply, lying because she didn’t want him to be aware of what was going on in her life.

It is not his right. It was by luck and mistake that he was able to find out the truth about her earlier, and that’s enough secret for him to nourish over concerning her.

“Alright, my Princess.” He shrugged his shoulder in agreement, even when he knew that she was only telling lies to him.

“I was surprised seeing you step out of Master Damien’s room, dressed almost like a woman even though he thinks you are a man,” he smartly pointed out, not having it in mind to find out more about it, but because he wanted to make her feel terrible for being a bad liar.

Why would the butler who has always disguised as a man suddenly be moving around the mansion while dressed like a woman, and most especially stepping out from Damien’s room? Isn’t she supposed to be afraid that he would harm her?
She wasn’t even hiding her body and didn’t look sad coming out of there. Yet, Vera told him that Damien wasn’t aware. He’s not going to buy that lie.

Smart scoffed, happy to see Vera’s eyes settling for the defeat of being caught lying. By the way, where’s that, Ms.Annabel? He had come up here to find some information about her.

It was because Annabel almost caught him snitching around here when she suddenly came out of Damien’s room that made him dive into the butler’s room without a second thought.

It’s better to go into the butler’s room as Annabel would not suspect anything or question him for coming to see his fellow workers. Smart had thought that Annabel was not aware of Vera’s identity.

“There was no need for the formality. Anyone can hear you and it will implicate me.” Vera cautioned again, tired of telling him that every time, it seemed that he would never change. Or is he doing it purposely to implicate her? Vera doubts that.

“Thanks for coming to check up on me,” innocent Vera appreciated, without knowing that his intention wasn’t even to meet her.

“I’m leaving tomorrow by the way. Hope I’ll see you around before leaving.” She completed and he nodded his head after releasing a faint smile, which he wasn’t happy about.

“Alright then. Goodnight, Smart. Thank you for being a trustworthy friend, I’m thankful for that.” Vera likewise said. She was not interested in him being mute, she wanted to just end the conversation and hurry out of there.

Smart’s eyes have been staring at Annabel’s room, not happy that he failed to get what he came here for.
He looked at the door like it should suddenly open for him to have a look at what was going on in there but it was just an imagination, such can’t ever happen unless someone opens it.

“Thank you too,” he replied when he got his instinct back. After the exchange of words was completed, Vera stood her ground, wanting to see him leaving before she would also go away.

Smart gave another faint smile and with a last glance at Annabel’s room, he started walking away. Vera’s eyes trailed after him till he climbed down the stairs in her presence, and when he was out of her sight, Vera walked away.

“Vera!!!” Annabel screamed the moment Vera stepped into the room, yanking the blanket off her body as the frown that was on her face earlier vanished.

She was not expecting to see anyone, but when she saw the Chef entering Vera’s room, she had a doubt on her mind. Why would he be visiting her by that time of the night? That’s new.

When she remembered that they all thought of Vera as a man, Annabel quenched the tension and any misunderstanding in her body.

Maybe she would have been worried if Vera was in the room, as the Chef could have found out the truth. Since Vera was with Damien, she felt relieved. Just that the frown didn’t leave her expression until now that Vera came.

The moment the blanket left her body, Annabel rushed to embrace Vera. Her hands grabbed Vera’s immediately after the embrace then she twirled them around the room.

Creating a quick dance moves between them as she was too excited to just relax like everything was the same. Vera had expected a reaction from her, but she didn’t expect her to act this way. Was she that much excited?

“Oh, Annabel. I’m going to feel dizzy!” Vera almost shouted, gasping for air as she was tired of swirling around the room. It seems Annabel doesn’t plan to stop.

Once she finished complaining, Annabel stopped but didn’t refuse to drag Vera with her to the bedside.

Once they were there, Annabel pushed her gently to sit on it, while she by herself remained standing.

“When I entered, I didn’t see anything,” Annabel stated and Vera chuckled. Knowing she is lying but doesn’t know her reason for it.

“Oh?” Vera whined, happy to play along with her, and taking enough time to catch a whole lot of fresh breath, as she felt tired.

“Fine, I saw two adults cuddling,” Annabel childishly replied, her reply catching Vera off guard because she was not expecting to hear such a lie about herself. Was she cuddling with Damien? No, they just shared an intimate hug.

“So far you’re still telling a lie, I’m not going to share anything with you,” Vera said, rolling her eyes away from her playfully.

“Okay, that was a lie. Just tell me everything that happened in there, please?” Annabel pleaded, she didn’t want to beat around the bush anymore, as it seemed that would not get her anything reasonable.

After narrating everything that took place with Damien to Annabel, her reaction was a whole lot of drama.

Eventually after the gist, Vera kindly took the role of putting her to bed like a baby, and when Annabel was fast asleep, Vera made sure to cover her properly, before leaving the room.

Ever since she left Damien’s room her mind has not gone away from there. Even while gisting with Annabel, she still wanted to speak with him.

It was like those moments they just had were a dream, but as she could perceive his perfume from her own body, Vera affirmed that she wasn’t dreaming.

If Damien hadn’t asked her to come back, Vera would have found an excuse to return and probably stay with him. But since she still had an agreement with him, Vera was so happy to be heading back there.

When she got to his doorstep, it took her a minute before she could stop herself from grinning hard. Without it happening yet, she already dreamt about every possible display of affection that would take place once she entered.

A quick knock on the door, she didn’t wait for a reply before she opened the door and entered, her eyes immediately searching for Damien.

Right there he was, sleeping calmly on the spot where they were both discussing before she left. Damien must have felt bored or tired after she left that all he could help himself with was resting his back on the bed, with his legs thrown on the ground, and then he slept off in that position.

Vera had thought that he was waiting for her, but here he was sleeping. Maybe she was a little disappointed, but neither was she displeased meeting him like that.

Moving closer to him, Vera squatted, waving her palm across his face in case Damien was pretending but he didn’t move his body.

When she craned her neck, she could hear his heavy breath, which revealed that he truly sleeping.

“Damien, I’m back for the head massage,” she announced after getting up from there. Expecting him to hear her and reply but he didn’t.

With his loud breath, it was obvious that he slept out of tiredness. Vera doesn’t know where he went together with Caleb, but Damien must have had a stressful day.

What should she do? She can’t walk away without fulfilling her promise but neither does she want to wake him up.

Vera stood there while thinking. Her eyes were trailing around his body, and admiring the man she fell in love with.

Even if Damien’s distaste towards women gave them reasons not to be pleased with him, no one could stay away from his charming appearance. Damien is really good looking and anyone would yarn to be close to him.

Damien is her idol and Vera is proud of herself for not giving up on him. In the end, she was able to stay close to him.

After forcing herself out of her thoughts, and moving steadily, Vera climbed the bed and carefully got herself a place beside him.

Making sure that her movement was not causing any noise, Vera placed her lap close to his head, and carefully, she raised his head before placing it gently on her lap.

Damien made an expected movement because she disrupted his sleep, but as he was always conscious of his environment, he opened his eyes instead of sleeping back.

When his opened fully, and he saw her legs that were beside his body, he immediately closed his eyes back, because he didn’t want her to know that he had woken up.

Vera didn’t know that he had woken up, she was still being gentle with him. She placed her palm on his hair before her fingers started performing some magic on it in the next minute.

From Vera’s view, what she was doing would make him sleep well, but she did not even know that Damien wasn’t sleeping, instead, he was happily enjoying her touch.

“I hope your problems get solved soon and you have a good time to heal from all the pain,” Vera whispered in concern, one of her fingers detaching his hair that had locked by itself.

Damien’s lip raised in a smile as he heard what she said. What he could not do was to let her know that he was awake, else he would have given her a sweet peck for wishing him well and proving his previous action wrong.

Whenever Vera felt like she was done with him, Damien would make a movement that would earn his head a loving pat from her.

He used that trick on her for quite some time, but when he saw that it was never enough, and he wanted more, Damien swiftly raised his head from her lap, meeting her beautiful eyes that were shocked to see him fully awake.

“Damien! You’re- you’re awake,” Vera murmured in surprise.
Once he realized that he had caught her off guard again, Damien smiled. Raising his hands from his sides, he wraps them tightly around her waist, with his head submitting itself to the space between her lap.

“Was that a prayer? You were praying for me, ” Damien shared, finding a soothing position for his head in-between her lap.

“Thank you,” he added, when she refused to react.
“Ain’t you tired?” Damien asked after minutes with her still not speaking or working on his hair, Damien raised his head to look at her.

“I’m tired. I came to massage your head because I promised you,” Vera answered shyly, feeling too tensed because of the closeness they have now. Why is he being too close to her?

“Alright,” Damien nodded his head. Raising his body completely, then he knelt with his knee on the bed.

He placed his both hands on her shoulder and before she could even predict what he wanted to do, Damien pushed her body gently to lay on the bed.

“Master Damien,” Vera called out of surprise, confused on what he was up to and she wanted to immediately sit up.

“Don’t move.” He stated like a warning, stepping down from the bed, he stood beside her with a broad smile which she had never noticed before on his face.

One of his hands grabbed the blanket before the other stretched it, “Do you want to sleep while lying on your back? Is it comfortable?” He asked in few words, waiting for her to sleep properly, and the moment she adjusted her body without questioning him, Damien covered her up with the blanket soothingly.

Neglecting the constant stares from her, Damien walked over to where he dropped his shirt earlier, he picked it up and wear it on himself before walking back to the bed.

With him sitting at the other side of the bed unbothered then stretching his neck. When he was done, he threw his legs on the bed beside her.
Moving under the blanket without even sparing Vera who was just glaring at him a look, Damien relaxed his body close to her.

“Don’t stare at me like that, I’m not going to harm you,” Damien said when he eventually looked at her.

“You’re leaving tommorow.” he murmured in a pained tone.

”You can pass the night here tonight, while doing me the favour of massaging my hair till I fall asleep,” Damien proposed, and as he made use of his words, his body did the remaining job by bringing itself close to Vera’s reach.

“Annabel is sleeping?” Damien asked, and she nodded her head. If she was to reply, her words wouldn’t come out well.

“You came here for me but she always receive the compliment,” Damien fused childishly, knowing Vera must have cajoled his Annabel to bed.

“Here, help me sleep like you always do to Annabel,” Damien requested, grabbing hold of her two warm palm and placing it on his hair by himself.

Damien slept on his side while facing her and he was as well staring at her. Maybe it was too quick that he has started enjoying her company.

The more he stared at her, the faster Vera’s heart beat,she never knew a night would come that she would sleep beside Damien. With her hand which refused to make any move on his hair because she was shocked, Damien frowned a little before saying,

“Are you scared of me? This old master just wants a baby treatment from the princess, and he’s harmless about it,” he stated calmly.

Yawning tiredly, sleep was starting to build in his eyes and he couldn’t wait for her touch to put him to sleep all through the night.
