CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
“What are you doing here?” Dylan asked with a frowning forehead when I entered his office. Wallace is here too and so is Cluster. Great.
I removed my sunglasses and gave them a nice smile. Even though the truth was I was trembling with nervousness because of Wallace’s presence. But since he was really the one I came here for. I tried to calm myself down. For me to win this battle.
Duh! I’m Diana Dane Dy, there’s a lot more to scare than him but I’ve passed it. How much more than him?
“I came to enroll Cooper here because he needs to go to the gym. He’s getting fat because he eats me— I mean my dishes because I’m so delicious — I mean again my dishes are as delicious as me.”
“TSS.” I saw Dylan’s poker face while Cluster chuckled. I looked at Wallace who was staring at me.
“Sign up at the receptionist because that’s where the customers’ area is,” Dylan replied putting his foot on the table. Behind him, Cluster stood while Wallace was on the left side and had a chair opposite him.
“I don’t want to take him with anyone. I want him to be comfortable. So, put him here. Besides, I don’t want to stay down when I go to him.” I sat across from Wallace.
“Abd why you will stay here? Why are you going to the gym with him?” Dylan’s forehead furrowed even more.
“To check him if he’s doing well. And to guard him. I don’t want anyone else around him besides me. You know me when I have it, it’s all mine. I am jealous of what I own and someone will look at especially when it comes to him.”
“Keep annoying,” he complained and simply looked at Wallace who was still staring at me. ‘Eat your Isabelle more in the rectum.’
“Cluster, can I ask for a form?” I asked.
“Yeah, sure.” Then he took it and handed it to me with a ballpen.
“I will pay for the six months so that he will not think of paying. And ow, I want a personal coach for him as well. not only in the gym but also to send a daily menu that he can eat well for one month.” I keep a demand while signing the form.
If I wasn’t going to waste my money, I knew that Cooper would not take six months here. But it’s ok, I can get it back from Dylan. That’s really how it is when there is a fight, sometimes you have to gamble and money is involved.
“We don’t have a coach available here at VIP except for Wallace. But I can also share him if it’s okay with you. ” There was also sarcasm that Dylan said to me. I looked at Wallace who still looked bad at me and smiled.
Honestly, I’ve been nervous about what he thinks ever since I mentioned my purpose here. But instead of talking to him, I looked at Cluster. He needs to feel that he is not important to this conversation and I don’t care about him.
“Cluster, can I hire you as Cooper’s coach? Just two hours a day. I will double your salary.”
“Huh?” He looked at Dylan with permission. “Dy?”
“Dylan, I can’t leave Cooper to anyone. Later, his figure will deteriorate even more. I want him to look hot.”
“Go ahead Cluster, do as she wishes because she’s broken,” he replied to me and looked at Cluster but suddenly looked at Wallace. “Revenge.” Wallace looked at him and frowned as well.
“Ok, Diana.” Cluster said so I handed the form to them and took the money from my bag and handed it over.
“Just count it. If there is not enough let me know, if there is too much keep the change.”
“I like that Dane!” Dylan once took the money from me and handed it to Cluster to count.
“Anything for my BOYFRIEND, Dylan.” I have an emphasis on the word boyfriend. I picked up my cellphone and then called Cooper and he also answer it. I smiled broadly when I heard his voice.
“Yes, Dane?”
“Hi babe, where are you?” I ask softly.
“I’m down, where are you exactly?”
“Ow, just stay there and I will let someone bring you here.” And I ended the call. “Cooper is here Dylan to pick me up. Can he check the area also? He’s down already, can you call the reception to send him here?”
“Cluster,” he called to Cluster to order.
“Ow, I’ll call,” I presented. The intercom is near where Wallace is seated. I stood up and came over and stretched to pick up the phone. “Excuse me, Wallace.” He only moved a little but was still sitting on the side and since I was standing my chest was right in front of his face.
“Dane,” Dylan said to me so I moved a little. But my elbow was touching Wallace’s shoulder. Shit, it gives me familiar electricity but Nah — I came here to retaliate.
“What’s the reception number and what’s her name?” I asked Wallace since he was close to me.
“14 and her name is Rose.”
“Ow, a flower.” And I dialed the number of the reception. “Hi Rose, this is Diana Dy. There is a handsome man down and his name is Cooper. Can you please send him here?”
[“Sure, Miss Diana.”]
“Thanks, and don’t come closer to him because he’s mine and I am possessive in my property.” Then I dropped the call.
“Diana,’ isn’t Cooper your ex? Have you two together?” Cluster asked.
“Yeah, that’s why he’s here.”
“Ah, he lives with you, Dylan said, so is it true that he’s going to marry you?” I smile and pretend to be thrilled.
“Well, as of now we’re happy. I guess that’s important. But yes, we’re actually planning to get married the soonest before he goes back to Canada.” The door opens and Cooper enters with the receptionist.
“Hi babe,” I greeted and stood up and kissed Cooper on the cheeks.
“Hi,” He puts his hands around my waist and we face Dylan together. “Dylan, can you show him the area?”
“Cluster will do that.” Then he motioned to Cluster.
“Yow, Cooper, it’s been a while and you look more handsome.”
“Thanks.” Cooper’s casual answer.
“Come outside dude and I’ll take you around to our beautiful gym.”
“Wanna come with me, babe?” Cooper asked me and looked at Wallace.
“My feet hurt. Is it ok if I can stay here?” There was tenderness when I asked and I clung to him. I was really clingy to Cooper even then. I am sweet to him especially since he babysits me so much then and even more now.
“Want me to give you a massage first?”
“Nah, later, tonight before we sleep.” Cooper put her mouth on my ears and whispered.
“Anything that can make you happy, Dane.” And he sniffs my hair and puts her hands on my waist.
“Cooper, Cluster’s waiting,” Dylan said.
“Ow, sorry.”
Cooper next came out to Cluster.
“I just have to do something, Dy.” Wallace also stood up and then came out. I didn’t know where he was going and I didn’t care either. I thought he would stay here and get revenge on me but he go out. It only meant one thing then, he was annoyed and I was beautiful.
“What are you doing?” Dylan asked annoyed when we were just two.
“What am I doing?”
“The way you annoyed Wallace.” He asked with a frown.
“What are you saying? I just want to enroll Cooper here, which is the annoying part?”
“Don’t me, Dane, I know you so shut up. Any of you, I know how your brain works.” Then he got up and went to the refrigerator to get some wine. “And don’t drive me around because I know the color of your ex’s blood.”
“What?” I feel nervous. He stood in front of me and handed me a glass of wine.
“I know your ex is bisexual.”
“How —”
“How did I know? He smells Avel. So if you think you can fool me around by making fun of Wallace you’re wrong.”
“Do you know Avel is gay too?”
“Should I repeat it again? Your actions are not effective for me.”
“Tss! He started ah. He pushed me away and then he will get angry that I was with Cooper. He even called me to let me know that he and Isabelle were having sex. He is stupid.”
“Really?”
“Absolutely.” I drink the wine and put it again.
“Dane.” I looked at Dylan who was looking at me seriously but still not drinking what he was holding.
“What?”
“Do you love Wallace?” I could not answer immediately because of his question. “That true love more than Cooper. That love is not only because of the carnal desire but from the heart.”
“N-no.”
“It’s just me, Dane. Tell me the truth.” I sigh and drink again. “Admit it, Dane.”
“Yes, since the day you introduced him to me I have fallen in love with him. It went deeper and I secretly loved him as the time passed.”
“Are you mad at me because I told you to stay away from him?”
“No, you have a reason, don’t you?”
“Exactly, and this is my reason, Dane. Because I knew it would happen and Wallace would hurt you. I can also see that he liked you before and if I let him I am sure he will flirt with you. And since we were young then he would definitely hurt you. If he had lush pubic hair now, he still couldn’t carry his pride. How more when we were young?”
I drank the wine one after another and did not use a glass.
“That rambunctious asshole likes since then.” Then he drank. “I’ll just take something from the down. Drink it all and let’s see how strong you are with alcohol.”
When Dylan left I had already consumed the contents of the wine. It looks delicious so I’ll finish it. When I will get drunk, Cooper is here. I had just finished the bottle when the door suddenly opened.
“Where are they?” Wallace asked and I just shrugged. I stood up to leave and go to Cooper but I suddenly fainted. Fortunately, he was prompt so he hold me. “Are you drunk?” he asked as both hands gripped my waist.
“No, I am ok so you can let me go.” But instead of letting go of me, he kissed me.
“I miss you, Diana. I fucking miss you.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I won’t miss you anymore because someone else is already making my lips and body happy.”
“Fuck!” But he kissed me again and I hugged him even harder.
What are you now, Wallace? You can still resist your desire for me.
