Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Damien opened the car’s backseat door for Olivia to get in, after she did, he walked around the car and entered through the other side and gave a nod to the driver who started the car…

“We are leaving tonight”

Olivia faced him and gave a nod, she had missed home so much especially her little baby boy..

“What about her?”

He got who she was talking about instantly, but went quiet for a while, he could have asked the cops to let Rihanna go but he didn’t want her flocking around him when he was trying to make it up with Olivia..

He could say that they’ve progressed a bit, but hopefully, she’ll get to see the genuine side of him if she gives him a chance..

“She’ll be released as soon as we are high up in the sky.. what do you think?”

“Hmm great I guess..”

She stared out of the glass watching the houses and cars that sped past her..

Her eyes suddenly grew large as she pointed at something ahead..

“Wait..”

Damien turned to her staring at her in confusion, he wondered why she stopped the car..

“Give me one minute” She said and got out in a hurry..

He whined down the glass as she stopped in front of a stall pointing at something which the vendor picked out..

His lips pulled up into a small smile on seeing the radiant beam on her face, this was the first time she smiled so genuinely since they got here, he pulled his gaze off her when she turned around walking back to the car with a brown paper bag..

The car’s door opened and she sat in placing the paper bag on the seat in between them..

The scent of freshly baked bread reached his nose..

“You got bread?”

She shook her head at his question while inserting her hand into the brown paper bag..

“It’s been so long since I had this”

Cinnamon rolls? he snorted when she waved it in front of his face like it was a priced artifact, one thing he hated was eating street foods..

Olivia took a bite out of the roll and threw her head back to the headrest with a small moan..

“Here have some”

She pushed it to his mouth without giving him a chance to decline her offer, he held her hand gently guiding the roll into his mouth..

She stared back at him with a gleam in her eyes awaiting his response..

“So how was it?”

“Not the worst I’ve eaten” he murmured forcing the rolls down his throat..

Olivia snorted, it wasn’t like she was expecting a good response though..

She took a large bite out of the cinnamon roll she held between her fingers, and to her astonishment, Damien held her chin turning her face towards him..

He leaned down and took a bite from the roll hanging on her lips..

Time froze as their gazes locked with each other, unfortunately for them, the car jerk up a bit after falling into a pothole which made them bump their heads together..

“Ouch!” Olivia yelled out glaring at him, she rubbed her forehead gently that was starting to hurt..

“I’m sorry boss” The driver apologized gripping the steering wheel tighly..

Damien cursed beneath his breath, just what on earth was her head made of?!

“What was that about? I can’t feel my head anymore!”

He diverted his gaze out of the window, today was definitely not his day..

Back at L. A

There was a pin drop silence as the trio who sat at the dining table munched on their meal silently..

The lady sitting in between them who was Becky raised her head a little to stare at them, she knew something was wrong with the two brothers given as they haven’t spoken a word to each other since they came down for breakfast..

These two were the worst pair together, they chirp and banter every now and then..

“Umm.. are you both upset that I’m having a share of your breakfast? you can tell me so that ill-

“This has nothing to do with you Sophia” Charles boredly answered picking on his salad..

Becky turned to him with an arched brow “Okay?… and it’s Becky not Sophia” She corrected with a small smile..

Xander’s dropping cutlery made a harsh noise on the table diverting their attention to him..

“You could have told me that you liked her at least..”

Charles peered at his younger cousin who had an annoyed expression on his face..

“I thought you knew.. I didn’t know you were interested in her either”

Becky stood up to her feet suddenly feeling lost “Woah woah woah.. guys.. what happened to table manners? ”

Xander pulled her back down to sit, he was annoyed, he just found out that Charles had a thing for Bianca..

The least he could have done was to tell him about it,..

“It’s totally fine Xander.. it’s my duty as an older brother to sacrifice some things for my younger brother”

Xander’s seat screeched back harshly against the ground in an attempt to reach for Charles who was at this annoying topic again!.

“Hey you both.. calm down.. and who is this lady you both are talking about?”

“Why don’t you mind your business Shelly?” Charles murmured..

“Okay how does Shelly even rhymes with Becky?” She frustratingly asked, she had no idea if he does this on purpose or not..

Xander shrugged her hold off him and walked away from the dining, soon after his banging door was heard..

Becky turned to Charles who also stood up to his feet “You can have the whole table to yourself Brittany”

She opened her mouth ready to shun him, but he left..

She stared down at the table filled up with different dishes, her eyes settled on the grapes in a white ceramic bowl.

She picked one and placed it into her mouth “At least Brittany starts with the letter B, just as Becky.. I’ll accept that”

***

Asher massaged his temples staring at the annoying lady in front of him, this annoying person was none other than Alexa Sterling..

“What do you want? I have a lot of work to do” he groaned impatiently..

“Stop giving me that look like I’m elated to stare at your face.. someone called me at the early hours of today that Rihanna has been locked up behind bars”

The latter sat up on hearing her words, he knew something like this would happen, Rihanna was always reckless with her life whenever she was alone..

“I’ve tried to convince the cops but they didn’t heed to him according to them.. another Sterling is on this.. which can obviously be my brother, he wants her locked up until tomorrow morning”

Asher raked his hand through his hair, yeah, he never got along well with his sister, but that doesn’t mean he hated her..

But since Damien already gave his order about her release, there’s nothing left for them to do other than to wait for her release..

“Then I guess she’ll be spending a night behind bars.. do me a favor and get out of here”

***

The ride back to the hotel was a queit one as the two turned their faces to the opposite direction, right on their foreheads was a bit of redness which was as a result of their earlier bump against each other..

”Take the next turn” Damien ordered..

Olivia turned to him when she heard him speak, the next turn? the hotel was just straight down the road..

“Umm… the hotel is that way” she pointed out for him to give a nod..

“Since we’ll be leaving tonight, I figured out that it would be nice for us to explore the city for a while before we leave.. what do you say?”

He asked hoping he’d get a reasonable response from her this time, all his efforts today to get into her good books failed..

Firstly today he tried to give her a warm embrace, but his body reacted differently today and just a few minutes ago, he tried to be a bit romantic but they ended up bumping their heads together..

“Is there something I should know? you’re suddenly acting nice to me.. and it’s really creeping me out.. just like that smile on your face”

Damien cleared his throat “Well.. I figured out that I can’t possibly be mad at my son’s mum.. even though she can be annoying sometimes”

“Oh.. now I get it.. are you trying to flirt me?”

“I want much more than that.. that’s if you’re willing to give me a chance”

His eyes held nothing but sincerity in them as he met her amber eyes searching for answers..NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
