Damon’s pov.
Oliver…….
Your the only one that takes up my mind…my thoughts…..
Now****
Oliver’s pov…
Few days later***
Is now Thursday ***
I have told my dad about the job I have gotten.
His reaction was expected.
Flashback to Tuesday**
I walked into the house after walking home.
Dad was sitting on the couch watching TV.
Oliver:” hey dad…”
Rick:” mm…”
He just kept his attention in the TV.
Oliver:” hey listen I need to tell you something. I’ve got a job..somewhere.”
Rick:” oh yeah?…..”
He says still paying no attention to me.
Oliver:” yeah…so I may not be home most of the tim-“
Rick:” …I don’t give two shits…..get outta my face…”
I furrowed my brows.
…
Wasn’t it you the one begging me back on the phone ?
Ah no
That was a drunk asshole.
I just rolled my eyes and went to my room.
Flashback over***
And well Damon has been training me to be the assistant for him.
Its pretty much the decent stuff.
Getting him coffee, lunch, going business rides with him, organizing his files and extra stuff.
Which is pretty easy.
And I thank him for getting me this job.
..
Some of his friends came up to him and had ask him to hang out.
But he just said no and stayed with me.
My face went warm.
I’m thinking about what Rhea had said.
If it’s true.
That he’s gay. And may be into me.
Mainly if he’s into me.
I guess I’m just figuring out if I like him back. I’m still confused.
Mixed signals.
I wanted to ask him that question tho. But I’d think it’ll be too rude or stupid to ask him that…..
I shook my head clearing it from all the heavy thinking.
Right…….it’s.. the dinner today. That Damon had invited me to.
I remember him saying that his parents and his parents friends are going to be there.
Just a friendly gathering I suppose.
…..
…
Some time later after school****
It is around 5 and I’m getting ready for the dinner.
I don’t really have anything as formal as them.
I know they are gunna wear something as formal.
I’ll just wear a long sleeve black turtleneck shirt. With dark gray dress pants.
And since I don’t have proper dress shoes. I’m just gunna wear my black vans.
I happen to have this only for special events like this.
I lay the outfit on my bed.
Got my towel for the shower.
Giggles***
A familiar giggle can be heard muffled outside my door.
I opened my door with my towel.
And looked down the hall.
Oh its that women again…
Scarlett:” hey baby~ we headen to our favorite place?~”
Rick:” Scarlett…My darling…~”
Rick chuckled.
Rick:” yes we are.”
She giggles once more.
Then she notices me.
Her smile disappears.
Then my dad looks at me.
His smile goes away.
They just stare at me. With blank eye.
Well Scarlett had a squinting gesture..
Almost made me wanna laugh.
Rick:” oy, watcha doing boy.?”
Oliver:” going to take a shower.”
Rick:” for what?”
I furrowed my brows.
Really? What for? ….To go to Narnia,…. what the fuck else??
Oliver:” to ..get clean? I have to go somewhere”
Rick:” you ain’t going no where.”
Oliver:” i…. have this job meeting to go to. And they said it’s mandatory so I-“
Rick:” you ain’t going no where…end of story. Mandatory or fucken not.”
Oliver:” but dad I need to be there”
Of course I didn’t tell him about this dinner. He’ll say no….either way.”
Rick:” I dont give a fuck! Your staying home, you do what fucken say!”
He says as he steps closer to me, almost at my face…
I just stood silently.
Rick:” got it?!”
I nod.
…
Rick:” we’ll be back at 11….”
He turns and steps away.
Then mumbles.
Rick:” mistake…”
My heart drops.
But somehow I’m not entirely shocked on it.
Scarlett giggles and they both head out.
Then I hear the car leave.
…
…..
…..
….
I’m going.
…..
couple hours later****
I take a shower and got dressed.
Looked in the mirror.
I messed with my hair to make it look messy, but neat.
I put on my usual colone.
Okay.
I just have to be back before 11.
I grabbed my phone
And called an Uber.
Some time later***
After some driving time, we arrived at Damon’s house.
Driver:” dame “
Oliver:” yeah it’s what I keep saying.”
The driver let’s me out and drives off.
I go by the speaker.
Sheezz**
“Who is it?”
Oliver:” im Oliver hillings, uhh Damon, invited me..”
“Ahh yes the plus one, alright your clear to come in”
The gate doors open and there were two agents there. Ready to escort me.
….
Damon’s pov
…
Mrs.Hellings:” Damon are you alright? You keep pacing around.”
I looked at mother.
Damon:” yes I’m alright. Just waiting for someone”
She raises her brow.
Mrs hellings:” oh? Meaning oliver?”
She says is delighted tone.
Damon:” yes….oliver.”
Mr.Hellings:” im sure he’s coming.”
The door bell rings.
Ron opens it.
Two agents walk through with Oliver.
Oliver:” hope I’m not late?”
….
.He’s…..
Mrs.Hellings:” you are not Oliver. Just in time in fact”
He smiles.
Wow….
His long sleeve turtle neck shows his lean body. Then I caught myself eventually looking below his waist.
I swallow before speaking.
My eyes meet his.
Looks at me softly.
Dammit…..
My body goes warm….
Damon:” come this way Oliver. I’d like you to meet the other guests.”
He nods.
We go to the dining room where two other families that are our main buyers for the company.
We stepped up to the mayer family.
Mr.Mayer:” oh hello Damon! And…your friend.”
Mr.Mayer was a short and stubby man. His hair almost bald, his hands resting on his stomach, mustache curved at the ends. And eyes squints as smiles.
Damon:” Mr.Mayer , this is Oliver hillings. He will be working as my assistant when I take the company’s chair.”
Mr.Mayer:” oh my! What charming looking young man. And Damon please, call me will! “
He held his hand out to Oliver.
Oliver greetingly shook it.
Oliver:” nice to meet you, Mr.Mayer”
Mr.Mayer has a wife who isn’t as greetingly as others.
She stood by the table on the phone.
She’s a thin, black hair, wears almost everything red. She’s a very serious woman. Very competitive.
Her focus is her business and spoiling her daughter.
Bianca Mayer …….is a high school student. She’s 19, rich, and spoiled.
She’s all about her looks and modeling. She has brown hair with blond highlights. She always wear pink. Like mother…like daughter i supposed…
She’s here also. She’s at the table talking on her phone.
I’ve known her since her family’s been buying from us.
Which is about 5 years.
Mr.Mayer:” I’ve set up an arrangement with you and Bianca Damon.”
I looked at him.
Damon:” what? Arrangements?”
Mr.Mayer:” yes! A night, just the two of you. Isn’t that nice?”
Damon:” sorry I’m busy. “
Mr.Mayer” oh Damon, why must you turn down every opportunity that comes your way?”
I furrowed my brows.
And scrunched my nose a bit.
Damon:” it is something that you had just arranged without my consideration or my knowing. I am not interested in “a night” with your daughter, now if you’ll excuse us, we have to go.”
I gestured Oliver to follow.
He seemed a bit shocked.
We all gathered and sat at the table.
There seemed to be a few empty seats.
I looked at mother with confusion.
She had a sorry look on.
Why is she….
….oh….
Oh dear…not him…..
The doors open with Ivan……and his father.
His father is a rich man.
Tall, almost bulk. Expensive attire, short beard and a slit back hair.
As for ivan……ugh…….
Ivan:” Don’t be alarmed…..your prince has arrived.”
Bianca seemed to get off her phone and payed attention to Ivan.
Bianca:” heyyy ivannn~”
Perfect match…
Ivan just ignored her and only noticed Oliver.
He walked over to the empty seat by Oliver and sat.
Ivan:” my my! Oliver~ I knew we’d meet again.”
Oliver just smiles and nods.
I looked at mother.
She mouthed “sorry” to me.
Mmmmm….
…
Ivan:” Damon! My friend….how nice of you to invite him. He’ll make this dinner more enjoyable. “
I just give him a look.
Then turned away.
…..
Oliver’s pov
I am not liking this tension between theses two.
-_-
….
I feel like I’m stuck between two wolfs…..
Eventually the waiters come out with treys over food.
Mr.Hellings:” tonight we have for you is called “Meat Curry” the meat is cooked rare, wrapped with lettuce. The side dish is chicken curry, my mothers famous recipe…you add some of the curry to the meat, and that’s when the flavor starts to form.”
Mmm~ this looks good!.
After eating for a few. With talking about a few topics about the company.
Mrs.Hellings turns to me.
Mrs.Hellings:” oliver! I have a question for you.”
I turned to her.
Mrs.Hellings:” I hear your officially taking the job as the assistant for my son.”
Ivan looks at me and smiles.
Oliver:” um yes I am. I- figured why not?”
Mrs.Hellings:” yes well, I do have your schedule all prepped for you. If somthing isn’t to your acceptance, please don’t hesitate to ask. Arrange the schedule however you’d like. You can start whenever. “
Oliver:” thank you Mrs hellings. I’ll try to start this week.”
He nods as she takes another bite.
Ivan:” so your officially working there?”
Oliver:” uh, yeah. I guess I am.”
Ivan:” if you’d like, I can give you a rerun on what your supposed to do as an assistant.”
He gave a smirk.
Oliver:” no its okay, Damon has already told me what do to as one.”
Ivan:” oh….has he now?..”
Ivan looks at Damon with a look, you know it isn’t kind.
Damon just ignored him.
After dinner**
Mr.Hellings and Mrs.Hellings talked with Mr.Mayer and Mrs. Mayer, with Mr. Dalon .
They all still sat in the dining area, talking about business.
While, me, Damon, Ivan, and Bianca sat in the living room.
Bianca went on her phone talking to a friend across the room.
.. Meanwhile Damon is reading a book on one the one seated chair. His legs crossed.
Ivan was just looking around the room. While laying on another one seated chair.
Ivan:” shiny”
Damon:” quiet”
…
Ivan:” rude”
I just sat away from all three of them. Just laying on the couch.
With one leg off.
…
The fireplace luminated the room.
I looked over at Damon.
….
…wh…..
…whoa…the color seems to make him seem so lustful. His eyes,….look so dark….his body…….it’s so….so
Sso….a….AAHHH
WHAT…..NO! stop! Stop! Thinking about that shit!!!
I covered my face with the pillow
…
Ughhhhh!!!!!
My mind says no….but….why dose my body say …yes…….
Fuck you body ……….
………
I looked back over at damon..
He’s looking at me now….
Shit…..
His eyes just looks at me….we don’t break eye contact.
And what it seem like forever
I blinked and looked away.
Fuck! He caught me…..my face went red……
…..
Ivan:” ughh welp this is boring! You guys wanna play a game?”
Damon:” don’t be childish…”
I sat up.
Bianca:” I’ll play”
Ivan:” what do you say oliver?”
He sits right next to me and puts his arm around to my shoulder.
I furrow my brows.
Oliver:” sure…why not.”
I jerked his arm off.
Ivan seems hurt but shook it off.
Ivan:” well damon?”
There was a pause.
Damon then sighs.
Then looks at me.
Damon:” very well….”
He closes his book and sets it beside him.
He sits up and looks at Ivan.
Damon:” what is this game..that…we shall be playing.?”
Ivan:” well this game contains more people. So we are going to my place!”
Bianca:” yes!”
Damon:” no.”
Bianca:” why not?”
Damon:” why must we change an entirely different location for this game? And why does it need more people?”
Ivan:” oh your just a big ball negativity aren’t you? For once just live a little! Come on and follow me companions.”
Damon:” mmm….”
Bianca:” I’ll tell the parents we’ll be heading to your place.”
Ivan:” great idea Bianca!”
So she did.
I checked the time on my phone….
9:02
I’ve got time to spare…
Oliver:” I think it’ll be fun.”
Damon and ivan looks at me.
Ivan:” that’s the spirit oliver!”
Damon:” are you sure oliver?”
Damon says with that deep concern voice.
Again it makes me weak….
Oliver:” yes I’m sure…but only if you go too.”
He thinks.
Damon:” fine…only for you… I’ll tell Ron to give us a ride.”
So all four of us head inside a limbo.
Bianca and ivan sat next to each other while me and Damon sat next to each other.
And we drove off.
Bianca:” like what people will be there for this game ivan?”
Damon:” yes and what is this game, we are going to play?”
Ivan:” well the people is just a few party friends of mine. Just a few chicks, few guys, and the gaaammme, well wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise now, would we?”
Damon gave him a serious look.
Time lapes***
We pulled up to a big mansion.
We got out of the car.
The sidewalk had mini lights that led the way.
We head inside and we saw a few people.
At least maybe 7 other people.
They were all dancing and drinking.
Empty beer bottles everywhere.
Oh jeez…..
One girl said.
Girl:” heyy! Ivan’s back!”
Everyone started cheering.
Ivan:” yes yes! I’m back! But now….let’s play a game! Shall we? Everyone gather around.”
We all did.
Some of the girls were trying to talk to Damon.
Not like…I care……
Mmm….
Ivan:” now, the game is simple. It’s called 7 minutes or drink.”
……….what?……
Ivan holds up an empty beer bottle as everyone start to go into a big circle.
Everyone started cheering as he spun the bottle.
Damon looks at me with concern.
…
What? I can’t play this!! I can’t do “it”…..with someone! …….nor I don’t want to drink……
Shit…..
I’m fucked………
To be continued………
