Chapter 11 - Breathe

Damien Pov:

My lovely kitty, I am going to miss you so much. If only i can follow you into the sacred garden. I told her immediately we got to her room.

Damien don't me dramatic. I will only be gone for a few days, am not even traveling to a far away place, I will still be in the compound.

Yes I know Shira, but I won't be able to see your beautiful face, I won't be able to touch it. and most importantly I won't be able to cuddle you.

Damien you are being real weird right now, tell me what is up with you, anything I should know about?

She knows me a little too well. I did not want to stress her with my feelings right now, but who am I kidding, I dare say Shira knows me more better than I know myself.

Shira I know you should be focusing on yourself right now and I should not bug you with my problems, but you are the only person in this world I can bare my soul to, that was why I was in a pickle.

Damien you know you can talk to me, any day and anytime about anything, you matter to me. My ears are always open to listen to whatever you have to say, so talk to me, what is bothering you?.

My Family sent a message that I should come home, and you know how much I dread going there, I have always felt like I don't belong there, maybe because I really don't belong. Even though we share the same blood, they all feel like strangers. I don't feel safe around them and now they are requesting me to come all of a sudden after all these years. Shira what should I do? Should I just ignore the message and not go anywhere, because that seem more appealing right now. Or maybe that is what I should do, Yes I will just ignore them. I know am rambling but I just can't help it, I ramble when am nervous.

Damien, I heard Shira calls my name softly. She held my face with her fingers stroking my face gently, I can feel her breathe hot against my cheeks, and then she whispers to my ears, Breathe

.

She always know how to calm my nerves, she alone has the power to put me in this state of tranquility with just a touch. I stood there with my eyes close bathing in her aura of serenity. 

.

Damien open your eyes, I heard her call to me and I open my eyes. Everything is going to be alright, she said. I know you are nervous and you have every right to be. Even if you are not close to them or know them that well, they are still your family. They must have a good reason for wanting you to come home right now and it will be extremely rude and wrong of you to ignore their invitation.

I know I must go Shira but I do not know how to act around them, I do not know how to feel about them wanting to be around me now. what if it is so awkward and uncomfortable to be at that place with them? What if I hate them more when I get there, I wish you can come with me. 

Damien, Duriel your brother will be there, at least he is a familiar face, he comes here sometimes to check up on you, am sure he would not make you feel alone, I am sure you are going to be Okay.

Duriel? You and I both know that is not true, He does not come here to check up on me, he just use that as an excuse to check up on you, the guy is obsessed with you.

Damien common, how long will I tell you that he is not obsessed with me, he is clingy and a little too annoyingly cute but I believe he meant well, and even if he is obsessed with me as you claimed, you know I will always be obsessed with you. Only You.

So now stop being a baby, I can't believe I have to baby you and you are suppose to be the older one. But do I mind? No of course not. I love my adorable Damien, makes me want to protect you fiercely. Come here let Momma cuddle you.

But wait, that means you won't be able to help Lance with finding the mole, she asked .

Oh! That is true, am afraid that is the case, I got the message after the meeting, but at least he got Pelow. I hope he is all the help he needs.

That should not be a problem, I am sure Lance is capable of handling the situation. Just make sure to guard your emotions when you get to your family's place, do not let them weigh you down.

We do not know why they decide to let you go when you were five or the story behind that but I believe, there is a good reason for that, do not be too quick to judge. Your family seems to be good people. I guess what am trying to say is that you should give them a chance, now that they are sending an invitation. She said while cuddling me, I love when Shira treat me like a baby.

So when are you entering the sacred garden? I asked her, I hope she will not be entering until the morning. I need her warmth now more than ever, just been here in her embrace is everything. I want to be here as long as I can, I do not know how long it will take for me to be in her embrace again.

I should enter by midnight, The energy in the garden is always at its peak at midnight. But till then we can stay like this.

That is a music to my ears, although she will have to go by midnight but at least I got be with her till then. 

.

Shira are you in?! Oops sorry I did not know Damien is in here too. Am I interrupting anything?

Who in the name of whatever is this girl. I don't understand how we keep tolerating this girl, any person that is interrupting my alone time with Shira right now is a nemesis. Who are you? I asked knowing fully well who she is. This Shila girl is so easy to hate sometimes.

Yeah Damien that is very funny, I get you are mad but I don't think it's enough to burst your brain cells. Shila said. Can she just leave us alone already.

Shila I thought you left already with your Dad? Why are you still here? I heard Shira ask her, I guess am not the only one pissed by the disturbance, and don't just barge into my room like that, ever heard of knocking. Shira said giving her the evil look.

Am so sorry Shira for barging in, I really don't know Damien is here with you, I just wanted to say my goodbyes before leaving. Am leaving now with my father.

Alright dear, I won't be able to see you off but come and take a hug for the road.

If only looks can kill, am sure Shila will be dead. I can excuse the disturbance but now I have to share hugs with her now? What worst is her acting like she did not notice the look I am giving her, while she sprawl all over my girl all in the name of hugging her.

Okay dear, take care of yourself. Do have a safe trip back home.

I will come see you soon, but for now you should also take care of yourself till we meet again. I heard her said to Shira with that annoying smile on her face before she close the door on her way out.

Finally she is gone.
