"Don’t leave!” Damon who was dazedly listening to the sleeping woman, was suddenly grabbed in his arms.
He watched as Anya opened her eyes and drew breath by breath. She too fell in a daze as she stared at him.
Damon still can’t believe what he heard.
After he was finished with his work, he decided to drop by to the hospital and check on Anya and her grandmother.
When he arrived, he coincidently met Marie on her way out from Grandma Laurier’ room.
She said Anya was asleep and was very tired.
Damon glanced at the open door and saw Anya uncomfortably sleeping in the sofa. He felt conflicted seeing her pitifully sleeping in the sofa.
Marie also looked back and saw him staring at Anya.
Actually, she felt shock when she saw Damon. She thought Damon had cut all ties with Anya. Him being here means she still means a lot to Damon. So, Marie had an idea.
“How about you take her home?” She suggested. Damon was startled hearing this from Anya’s friend. Can he really do that?
“Look at Anya, she is sleeping so pitiful. And she was even so tired today.” Marie said with a sigh.
Damon listened and felt it was acceptable. He was just taking her home. “Alright. I’ll safely bring her home.” Damon assured Marie.
Marie thanked him and bid goodbye. When she turned around to leave, a triumphant smile flashed on her face.
Damon went inside the room and checked on Grandma Laurier first. When he saw she was fine and comfortably sleeping, he then approached Anya.
Seeing her deep in sleep, Damon felt reluctant to wake her up. But looking at her uncomfortable posture, he sighed and gently shook her awake.
Maybe she was really tired today, but Anya didn’t wake up. Damon felt conflicted. He doesn’t have the heart to shook her awake, so he decided to carry her.
“Excuse me,” Because of his gentlemanly personality, he still excused and apologized for his rudeness as he carried her easily of the couch.
In a bridal carry, the boss walked out of the hospital with Anya.
When they were in the car, since she was asleep, Damon decided to take her in his house. It was already late and he doesn’t know the password of her unit, so brought her in his home.
The house was quiet and the people were asleep. He took her upstairs. He wanted to give her the most comfortable room, so he brought her to the master’s bedroom.
Looking at her clothes, she was dressed casually so it wasn’t that uncomfortable. Still, it was different when she changed, but Damon felt it will be over the line. So he did not disturb her any further and walked out to rest on one of the guest rooms.
When he lay on the bed, he can’t take his mind of the woman in his room, so the outcome, he hardly slept that night.
In the morning, he woke up early. He hurriedly freshened up and went to Anya. He thought she might be awake and be scared that she was on an unknown place.
Entering the room, he saw Anya still fast asleep. He approached the bed and saw her beautiful sleeping face. He couldn’t help but stare at her for a while.
It was then he heard the words that brought ripples to his heart. “I’m sorry.” Anya whispered softly in her sleep.
“I really hate to push you away.”
At first, Damon’s heart tightened. Who was she talking about? His heart started to thump loudly.
He then heard the words that shook him.
“I want you as much as you want me, Damon”
He just witnessed an unexpected confession from Anya to him! He sat there at a daze, don’t know what to do or react first.
And when suddenly, Anya grabbed his arms and exclaimed. “Don’t leave!”
She woke up and stared dumbly at him. it was then Damon woke up from his shock. “Good morning.” He smiled gently.
“Damon?” Anya asked puzzledly. She felt she was still dreaming or her eyes were playing games at her. Why was he in front of her right now?
“Hey, last night, Marie worried you will sleep uncomfortably after a tiring day, so she suggested I take you home. I’m sorry, I hope you won’t take it in a bad way.” He immediately exclaimed. He doesn’t want to startle Anya.
When Anya heard this, she gradually regained her consciousness and saw she was not in her apartment.
Looking at her surveying around, Damon again explained. “You’re in my house.”
Anya didn’t feel afraid, but she felt embarrassed.
“You don’t need to do this. i..” Anya was lost for words. Damon then smiled and coaxed her.
“It’s fine. How about you freshen up and have breakfast?” He suggested. Anya saw she couldn’t turn down the offer so she meekly agreed.
Damon was satisfied and the smile on his face became even gentler.
“Alright. Feel free to use the toilet. I’ll give you privacy.” He said as he stood up. When he made sure Anya was comfortable with the arrangement, he left.
Anya got up from the bed. She first saw her dress that was still the one she was wearing yesterday. Looking at this and Damon’s action, she cannot help but deny that he was really a gentle and refined person.
She smiled and hugged the sheets for a while. When she felt she was dilly-dallying for a long time now, she moved. She took a shower and freshened up in the bathroom. She first wore a bathrobe while her hair was wet. She found that there was no hairdryer in the bathroom and went out to look if there was one on the bedroom.
When she got out of the bedroom, she saw a bunch of paper bags on the bed. She approached it and saw there were new clothes inside. There was also a hairdryer.
Anya’s heart stirred for Damon’s attentiveness. With blushing cheeks, she smiled and brought those things in the bathroom.
After she changed, she went of the bedroom and descended to the stairs. She wanted to look for Damon.
With the wide house, she was at a lost for where to look. She heard movements from the kitchen and smelled a fragrant cooking, so she went to ask that person if she can know where Damon is.
But to her surprise, it was the very person she was looking for. Damon was cooking breakfast wearing an apron.
Damon turned around and saw Anya. He smiled.
“Good morning again. I cooked breakfast.” He said as he placed the freshly cooked food on the table.
Anya felt sweet and shy inside. She couldn’t help but admire the man more. The two were staring at each other, looking at the other warmly.
When suddenly, their bubble was burst by a cheerful and crisp sound. “Mommy?!” Allen was surprised and happy seeing his mommy on the kitchen. Anya saw her son and was even happier.
“Baby!” She opened her arms to welcome the child!
Allen happily flew to his mother’s arm and nuzzle at her. “You’re here!” The child happily cheered.
Damon saw this scene and can’t help but sigh. He wanted to have a sweet moment with Anya, but there is their little cannonball as always. Still, he can’t help but feel this scene is even more perfect.
