Chapter 6
Daemon's POV
He just looked at me and turned his attention back to Skye. Mimi... Open.." he said to Reese.
Let me open it for you." He looked at me for a moment. But later he also handed me the lollipop he was holding.
I took it. He couldn't take his eyes off me as I opened the lollipop.
Ahh.. Reese, can you help me here first?" Fely's mother spoke from inside the kitchen. Can you please look after Skye first?" It speaks to me.
Alright...." He stood up and put Skye on my lap. Stay here first. I will just help mom Fely, okay." He said softly to Skye and caressed her cheek.
Okay" Skye Just a moment." Reese. Before he went to their kitchen.
Skye and I were left here in the living room while she sat on my lap. It was quiet while licking the lollipop in his hand. Honestly, I don't really like kids. I find them annoying sometimes.
But this kid.... I know it's weird. But I feel so good about him even though we just met.
I smiled while looking at him. I raised one hand and gently caressed his head.
He looked at me You want?" He offered his lollipop to me My smile widened at him. "Do you want to share it with me?"
Mimi, say it's good to share because I'm a good boy.
You are a good boy, and you deserve that lollipop." It nodded.
A few moments later it came down from sitting on my lap. He approached the chair and took a stuffed toy panda.
Mimi, give it to me." He said as he showed it to me. Wow. So you like it?"
Yes." He immediately answered and hugged her My smile couldn't disappear while looking at him. He's so cute.
I stayed with them for a while. Because I was too interested in playing with Skye and didn't realize the time.
I'll pick you up here by 5 for dinner." I said and left their house. Okay" Reese Bye" me
Bye.. be careful driving." I smiled and nodded. I continued walking to the car.
Demon?" I stopped and turned around when someone called me.
It was Fely's mother.
Why? Can you talk for a second." He said as he approached me. Alright Po. About what?"
Regarding Reese and the agreement between the two of you. To be honest, I don't agree with that matter. Especially with you getting married. Marriage is a holy and sacred evidence that God united two lovers, promise sworn by two hearts that love each other. You probably know what I mean. That marriage is only for two people who love each other." This explains it.
I understand."
But I also know that Reese won't do something that he doesn't think about first. I trust his decision. All I ask of you is that... this. Please don't let Reese get hurt. I watched Reese grow up until he came to his senses... until now that he has a child. Reese is a very smart child, he can easily trust the people he meets. That once became a reason to use him. How many times have I seen that child hurt, cry, he has experienced hardship many times. And those are the things I don't want him to experience. That's why I'm here and talking to you. Don't I hope they will be hurt as mother and daughter." He cried to me.
I took his hand and held it. "Promise.. I won't let them get hurt."
Thank you and I'm sorry for delaying your return home."
I smiled at him. "There is no problem and I understand you. You are only concerned about Reese and Skye's welfare." After talking with mother Fely, I got into my car. But before starting it, I noticed a man standing on the side of the store near where Reese lives. I couldn't see his face because it was covered by the hat he was wearing.
I was looking at her for a long time when a man approached her and seemed to say something to her. Then it immediately left.
I didn't pay attention, I started the car and drove away
This is the day I will introduce Reese to Grandpa and my whole family as my Husband. And I'm nervous now.
I even overcame a child who committed a sin and had to face his parents.
There are so many things that come to my mind right now.
How can I get Grandpa and I to sleep?
How can I have something bad happen while we're having dinner?
How can they ask Reese something and he can't answer?
How can I......I mess up my own hair. I took a deep breath while looking in the mirror. You need to relax, Daemon. Calm down." I said to myself and took a deep breath. I got dressed and left the condo to pick up Reese from them.
After minutes of driving I arrived. I got out of the car and walked to their house. The front door of their house was closed so I knocked. A few moments later it opened and Reese's beautiful face greeted me.
I stared at him.
Why am I feeling this way? Every time I stare into his eyes my heart beats faster? His eyes are full of emotion. It's like you're being pulled into a dimension. Daemon, are you okay?" She snapped in front of me.
I blinked. "Huh?" I've been talking here for a while but you don't seem to be listening. You're an idiot." Ahh... Eh.. what is it... Umm.. because you're so beautiful." I couldn't stop saying. suddenly he laughed.
Did I say something funny?" I was about to ask him.
It shook its head. "I just didn't remember Ashton. His lines are like that. I think he's infected."
I lost my smile. "Ashton..."
Why? Umm.. nothing! So, let's go?" I can. Just a moment..." He went inside again. I think he said goodbye to mother Fely. Come on..." he said when he returned. We walked together to the car. I opened the door for her. Thank you.. I went around to the other side to ride. I started the engine and started driving. How's Skye?" I asked him.
He's sleeping." He answered sparingly.
I just nodded.
The two of us were quiet inside the car while going to Grandpa's mansion.
Don't be nervous, okay. I'll just be by your side until dinner is over." I broke the silence between the two of us.
I'm not. Maybe you are."
I laughed a little. "Why should I be nervous? I'm not nervous."
My glance made him smile.
Apparently not. not really..." I said again. Yes, not anymore." He said and smiled. We Arrived here at the mansion on time. Lolo doesn't want to keep him waiting. When he says this time it must be followed.
I just parked the car before Reese and I went out. I took a deep breath to fill the nervous feeling. You're my wife and I am your husband." I told him.
Let's go?" I spread my palm in front of him. He gladly accepted it and held my hand. Let's go, baby."
I stopped and looked at him. B--baby.."
Why? You don't like it? You don't want me to call you baby? What should I call you? I quickly shook my head. "B--baby is fine." Sh*t! Why is it like this? My heart was beating so fast that it was about to burst out of my chest.
The nervousness I feel is also gone.
Is this really how Reese affects me?
Let's go inside, they might be waiting for us." okay We walked into the house together holding hands.
As soon as we entered the living room, my other cousins immediately greeted us. They stopped talking when they noticed Reese and me.
Finally, the most awaited guests is here." It was Denice my first cousin. She is Uncle David's daughter who is dad's brother. You must be Reese?" He approached Reese and me He was the first to know about Reese. Theo probably told him. But I warned Theo not to tell about our deal.
Only our friends know about that. Mary and mother Fely.
Reese, this is my cousin Denice, and Theo's girlfriend. This is Reese, my beloved wife." I introduce them both.
Wow. Theo is right, you are so beautiful." Denice Thank you and nice to meet you." Reese smiled.
Come, I'll introduce you to our other cousins." He couldn't say goodbye to me anymore and pulled Reese away from me I could do nothing but follow them. I just stood on the edge of the couch looking at them talking.
Hey... You can watch over Reese here as if we're going to eat him." Denice paid attention to me.
Isn't it? And stop asking her nonsense questions. She's not a criminal." I said that it laughed You're funny, you know that. Tsk! What does Theo like about you!" I said Reese, what made you like Daemon so much that you married him?" He asked me with a hint of teasing. Besides being handsome, he's sweet, caring and he knows what he wants. Those are just some of the things I liked about him." I smiled at what Reese said. Wow! Did you charm this Reese?" Denice Tsk! Of course not."
Is everyone here?" I looked at mom.
Daemon, I thought you weren't coming." Its language. He looked at Reese who was next to Denice.
New face.. mind introducing her to me." He looked back at me as if asking.
She's Reese, my wife." Reese stood up and stood next to me.
wife?" He said he couldn't believe it. Shock was on his face Hello Po..." Reese Ahh...how
Ma'am, sir, don Damian is calling you to the dining area." An assistant said.
The others stood up and walked to the dining room while the four of us were left here. We should talk..." Mom
Let's talk later mom." I said. I grabbed Reese's hand and pulled it away.
Let's go aunty." I heard Denice say to Mom. We are all in the dining room and are sitting at a long table. I caught a glimpse of Lolo's serious face sitting in front. It was looking at me, or should I say at Reese next to me.
Denice, where is your brother Dether?" This is a question from the silence that prevails in all of us.
This is our situation whenever we are all together. You can't make noise or talk until Grandpa asks you.
He was out of town for a business meeting." Denice replied. It didn't ask any more questions.
Let's say our grace." grandfather
We bow our heads to pray.
After we prayed, we waited for Lolo to get food before us.
We're here now at my grandfather's office. After we ate, he called us here. And I'm sure he'll ask me about me and Reese. Only the four of us are here. Grandpa, mom, me and Reese.
Reese and I are sitting next to each other on the couch, mom is facing us. While Lolo was sitting in a single chair. While drinking his coffee.
He placed the cup of coffee he was holding on the table. He leaned on the chair and sat down.
He looked at Reese and me.
What's the deal between the two of you?" I was suddenly nervous at his question.
Does he know something?
I really asked because I know that no one can get away with grandpa in anything. I calmed down before I spoke.
She's, Reese Zarhia Del Fuego, my wife. And we're already married." I said. He turned his attention to Reese and stared at her intently.
Hi Po.." greeted Reese and smiled at grandpa. Reese, how much did my grandson pay you to act as his wife?" He asked seriously as he looked at her.
Grandpa I am not talking to you, Daemon. Come on, Reese answer my question. How much did he pay you? Don't worry and don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you unless you lie to me.
He said he wouldn't do anything, it was obvious from the words he uttered that there was a threat mixed in.
My hand went down and found Reese's hand that was at my side. I held it tightly. I looked at him.
She smiled. I'm not nervous. In fact, I'm excited to see you. Daemon, told me everything about you. And to answer your question, Daemon didn't even pay me a penny. We got married because we love each other. I hope you understand." I looked at Reese, she was so confident in what she said. I didn't even see it as nervous. I secretly smiled. I squeezed his hand I was holding and looked at him.
How sure are you that he really loves you and not using you? Did he tell you about the girl that I want for him to marry?" I know. That's why we got married because he doesn't want to marry the girl you want for him." Reese
How long have you known each other?" He asked Reese again.
Argh! This is what we did not discuss.
Ahh.. grandfather" I couldn't finish what I was going to say when he looked at me.
Annoying! I think more than a month." Reese Sh*t! I'm cheap in my mind.
lA month? Then you marry each other? What do you think of marriage as a game that you can do whenever you want?" His voice had risen a bit which worried me.
