Chereads / Love X War / Chapter 21 - Harmony and Chaos

Chapter 21 - Harmony and Chaos

It's been a week since Damon and Justine started living together in the same room.

Every single soul in the school thinks that they are living their life together as a newlywed couple. However, the truth was far from that.

They were still sleeping separately every night; Justine is sleeping on her bed and Damon is sleeping on the floor beside her.

As expected they encountered many problems at first since they didn't get used to the new lifestyle.

Damon would go outside the bathroom half-naked; with a towel covering his bottom only, Justine would scream and argue with Damon every time that happened.

After some time they got used to each other and learned how to deal with their own shortcomings; Damon would go back to the room late every time till Justine is done with her shower, and he would prepare a change of clothes and take it with him when he goes to shower so that he could wear them up in there.

Just when they thought that their life together has stabilized, another accident happened to stir their newly found quiet lives.

One day Damon puts his phone on the charger and goes into the bathroom to take a shower.

Justine heard his phone ringing so she went to check the caller, it was Damon's Mother!

Justine tried to tell Damon that his mother was calling him, but he didn't hear her from the shower sound.

She was panicking the whole time the phone was ringing because she didn't know what to do.

After a while, the phone falls silent and Justine lets out a sigh of relief but it was in a void; as his phone started ringing again.

At the end she decided to answer the call herself, she swipes the phone to answer the call,

"Good morning, Damon's mother," Justine says politely.

" A-a girl's voice ?!" Damon's mother says in a surprised tone.

" Who are you? " the mother asks her.

"I am your son's new wife, Justine" she replies with the same polite tone.

"Wife?! When did my son marry?" The mother asks.

"We got married a few days ago, it should have been broadcasted all over the news, don't you watch them?" She replies.

"S-sorry I don't really care about the news-" the mother replies.

,

"Anyways Damon is a responsible person he wouldn't on whime, I am sure you are a good person"

"I hope you take good care of my son" the mother asks for her favor.

"D-dont worry, mother, I will take care of him" she replied nervously.

Damon was already done with showering and he was standing behind Justine as she was talking to his mother.

He forcibly snatches the phone from him and puts its microphone closer to his mouth and says in a harsh tone.

"Don't you dare call me again!"

Then he taps hard on his phone screen to hang up the call.

Damon was pissed at Justine but he didn't want to show her that, so he just remarked with a faint voice,

"Don't answer her calls again."

Then he went outside to breathe some air and so that tense atmosphere in the room could easen up.

Justine knew that Damon wasn't pleased at all with that, she felt as if she was busted while doing a crime.

That night Damon came back to the room past the mid-night, he just quietly went to sleep without making any noise, Justine was actually awake waiting for him all night to come back, she hadn't slept till he came back.

That accident brought them apart; they couldn't talk to each other as smoothly as before, she couldn't even ask for his help in her studies as before.
