Chapter 19 - His Mother

When Lianna woke up she noticed her head balancing on Damien shoulders as his head balanced on her head.

"Damien.. Damien wake up we fell asleep"

"huh.. ooh.. what time is it?"

"almost 8 in the morning"

"alright well I guess since where up we should eat some food now before we start the mission again"

"Damien.. could we maybe just hang.. you said your men were working on the case right? So can we just talk today im really tired'

"...Ya I guess we could for today"

The two made their ways downstairs to make the same breakfast again, so far they have been at this cabin for 3 days and no one on the news has suspected this to be a framing. Lianna and Damien also haven't been able to just sit down and get to know each other that much since they got here so Lianna thought that now would be perfect, its not like they had all the time in the world so she wanted this peace to last as much as possible.

After breakfast Damien opened a bottle of wine from the basement and poured himself and Lianna a glass. Damiens was almost filled to the brim but Liannas was only filled half way since she was still young. They talked all about their families business and then compared the two lives they both had so similar yet still so different.

"Why did your parents get divorced?" When Damien brought up the topic all Lianna could do was look at him with widened eyes but she sill decided to answer him.

"My mother found out my father was cheating on her.. and when she threatened to tell the whole world he slapped her across the face."

"Im sorry I didnt know, why do you live with your father then?"

"He...huh the truth is I need an education and I need food, I cant have any of those things if I live with my mom"

"I bet your father was happy though to have his daughter so at least theirs an upside"

He didnt know what Liannas father was really like, she wanted to tell him so bad but couldnt find the strength.

"Wheres your mom?"

"she passed away when I was 13"

"oh my god im so sorry Damien, thats terrible''

"ya.. my father actually started drinking after my mothers death.. he really loved her"

"I bet he did, come here" Lianna took his neck and wrapped her soft arms around them and rested her head on his shoulder as Damien grabbed her waist and pulled her in. The two had a little moment of silence before the taking started up again.

"Look, I know your not gonna understand but we live two different lives Lianna im telling you this because im not who you think I am"

"then tell me" Lianna said as her voice grew soft and full of sympathy

"You wouldnt understand"

"all the more reason"

"Lilli! just forget it ok...please!"

"ok" Lianna was in such awe to why he wouldn't tell her that she didn't even realize him call her Lilli.

When Damien got up to walk to the bathroom Lianna stayed on the rug and turned on the tv, she flipped through the channels trying to find anything good when she came across the movie 'Fools Rush In' and started watching it while Damien came out of the bathroom.

"whats this?"

"fools rush in I love this movie, here come sit"

Damien walked over and the two sat beside each other leaning their backs up against the couch on the rug. They sat their in silence as the sun started to rise more and more in the back. They both watched the movie so intensely that for a moment they both escaped from the realm of reality and into each others fantasies. Lillie looked at Damien and back at the tv when Damien looked at Lilli he cupped her face to lean in and kiss her softly on the lips. They closed their eyes and continued to kiss each other till Damien pulled away and the room was filled a tense silence.

Lianna looked at the tv screen with widened eyes at what just happend but the only thing she said was "How was it? I never kissed anyone before"

"It was good"

"why did you kiss me Damien"

Damien couldn't think of an answer he really didn't know why he kissed her either he just felt something take over him when he looked at her and he just did it.

"You want me to be honest?"

"yes" was all Lianna could say as she waited

"I dont know why, I...I dont know" His voice was now soft and almost regretful, he didn't want to hurt her so he tried to tell her the best way he could.

"Its ok, your just confused with everything going on I get it" Liannas facial expression became worried

"are you ok Damien?"

"....Im fine dont worry about me"

"well it looks like someone should"

"well dont! ok"

Lianna still didn't get this man and why he would yell at her out of no where but she didn't like it and she felt a little aggravated. Why was he acting like this?

"Im sorry for bringing up your mother if I knew I never would've---"

"Thats not why Lilli I just... I just cant take whats happening right now. I mean why? Why is this happening?"

That time she did hear it

"what did you call me?"

But he didn't respond.

"Look its not your fault and its not mine its those ass holes who are still walking on the soils fault"

"did I just hear the little princess swear?" he said teasingly trying to lighten up the mood

"im not a little princess and I usually say worse"

"hmm" all he could do was look down at her tiny figure and giggle but then his face turned serious and he turned around, before he could get to the stairs Lianna stopped him and held on to his arm.

"Im not done talking to you Damien"

"I am go do whatever you want I will be upstairs laying down"

"But.."

"Huh... fine you wanna know what im thinking.. I think you and I are stuck here forever and where starting to have mixed feelings for eachother that are untrue, cause in reality we cant be together and this cant happen again"

"why?"

"Damien answer me" She still didnt let go of his arm and actually pulled it harder.

"I can assure you where not that different Damien"

Turning around Damien responded with

"I can understand why your so confused, both of our parents are rich, I get it neither of us had shitty lives and in that sense where not different but I am not a good guy and I am not a loving or caring guy, when my mother passed away it changed me for good, and you? Your a prissy girly high school girl who had to go through a rough divorce with her parents but you still have friends."

The air was filled with silence

"Your... your wrong, thats not me at all you dont even know me and what I went through it wasn't just a divorce Damien you have no idea what kind of father I have, at-least yours still loved you and actually cares about you and his wife, mine cant even say the words 'I love you' to me, he only sees me as gold and a money grabber.....I cant go outside without keeping a smile on my face no matter how much it hurts inside just for the sake of my fathers reputation. Thats the type of father and life I have and thats only the tip of the iceberg, so dont you judge me dont you dare judge me."

And just like that Lianna stormed off in the opposite direction with tears in her eyes while Damien headed towards the stairs. She sat on the couch and wiped away the rest of her tears, she needed to get her mind off this for a while. She looked at the basement door and curiosity filled her mind, she made her way down the wooden stair case and looked left and right after turning on the dim light that filled the basement. She noticed a dirty white cloth covering something big, she made her way towards it and when she reached the object she noticed a wooden chair with a black cushion on it, then she realized what this object was. It was a grand piano, she took of the cloth to uncover a gorgeous wooden piano that had dust from top to bottom. Since she thought she had some time to waste she decided to clean it.

1 hour passes....

Lianna felt proud of herself after looking at what she accomplished, she loved the piano, her father would make her take piano lessons when she was a little girl cause thats what 'classy ladies play'. But Lianna learned to play it from her heart later on as she grew up and realized the beautiful music a piano can bring. She sat on the chair and started playing with the keys a little bit to get a hang of the sound they made. Again its been a while so she would need to warm up a little bit.
