A multitude of different delicious scent stuffed into Damion's nose as he stepped down towards the kitchen
" What's going on" Damion asked as he sighted baked pastries of different kinds
" Happy Valentine Damion" Theo said, humming cheerfully
" Theo got many orders today for people who want to celebrate today" Ned said facing Damion
" Huh I didn't know you do orders" Damion said taking a seat
" I don't usually take so much, but today is just ahhh… The love in the air is too much for me to reject" Theo said in a somewhat delusional manner.
" Huh is he this delusional during Valentine" Damion asked Ned
" Seems like it" Ned said, taking a sip of coffee
Ding
" Are you expecting anyone?" Damon asked.
"No" both Ned and Theo chorused
" Let me check it" Ned said as he moved towards the door
" Ermm Damion I think this there is a delivery for you" Ned said with many Valentine gifts
" That's quite strange" Damion said looking at them
" Huh? There is nothing strange about it, you just have a lot of admires huh look at this one' from your no.1 secret admirer, you will always have my heart' isn't it good" Theo said as he took a card.
" Okay, while you're here I am going to school, hopefully it will be better there "Damion murmured
However, his murmuring wasn't answered he was crowded with so many gifts from admires to the point he got confused why were these girls so obsessed with giving him gifts, to worsen it some guys also gave him some gifts. Out of frustration, he gave some to Ned and stormed to Philip's office.
" I don't get it, why do I receive so many gifts" Damion asked
" It's because you are handsome and attractive, seems like you're having fun" Philip said with his eyes pinned in some documents
" But its Valentine gifts should be given to loved ones" Damion said as he sat down
" True, but it's truly about spreading the love even beyond your loved ones, try sending some messages to those on your contact list, trust me you won't regret it" Philip said casting a glance at him before pushing his attention back to his documents
" Okay, what do I send" Damion asked
" Kid am your guardian not your text manager, text something you think it's good from your heart, you know something like' happy Valentine' or something about love" Philip said
" Something from my heart about love, but I don't know anything about love" Damion said
" Huh? Nothing, hmm this is a problem" Philip said as he dropped his work.
" You remember Max right" Philip asked
"Every day" Damion said solemnly
" Good, that feeling you have for Max is related to this love we are talking about, you can prove the rest if you like" Philip said
"I think I get it now, thanks Philip" Damion said getting up
" You're welcome, now of you go" Philip said shooing off
"And Philip" Damion called holding the door
" Happy Valentine's Day" Damion said and rushed off
" Teens, happy Valentine's Day to you too" Philip murmured
Damion rushed home and laid on his bed with his face facing the ceiling, he grabbed his phone and sent Valentine messages according to what Philip said
After he was done, he leaned towards the drawer beside his bed and brought out the picture of his mother, he stared at her bright silver irises and wonderful smile, with the picture in his hands he got up and left the house, instead of staying in the house and watching Theo act delusional he knew how he would spend this Valentine

Back at the company, Sasha and Tania received a message at the same time
" Seems like our little boss cares so much about us" Tania clicked her tongue as she smiled
" Yeah, little boss" Sonia smiled as she texted him back
" Hey guys did you see little boss message, I might just start falling for him" Darius said strutting in
" Shut up dude, aren't you still with your boyfriend" Klein asked
" So, I can crush on whomever I want" Darius said
" You are just … Just don't scare our new boss, he is the best thing this company has had in a long time" Klein said.
Sasha and Tania smiled at each other as the watched them bicker
" Okay who's ready for Valentine lunch" Darius said clapping his hands
"We are" they replied and went out with him

Kendra impatiently tapped the table with her nails as she listened to the person opposite her talk about his numerous achievements
Every Valentine her stepmother sets her and her sister on blind dates which guys with rich backgrounds, Kendra had always tried to avoid it, but it's the one day her father stands with Evelyn, honestly which pissed her off
Kendra looked over to Stacy's table and watched as she smiled at her date, she couldn't understand how each year she could enjoy the company of these guys, with the way the guys opposite her looked at her, she was one step away from pouring wine on him
" So Dan, what else do you spend your time doing that doesn't include money spending" Kendra asked
" Nothing exactly but maybe we could hit my room after this lunch, I could show you so of my awards" Dan asked in some scandalous way
" You son of a …" Kendra paused her cursing when she received a text.
On seeing, it's from Gustavo, the anger on her face melted as she read through the text, she was so glad he sent her this. He always gave her a feeling of alienation, but he was sweet and caring.
" Hey who the fuck are you texting now" Dan asked angrily
" Excuse me? " Kendra looked up.
" Well you are on a date with me and certainly your attention should be on me only you fucking bitch, you should be glad am here with you when there are many other begging for my attention" Dan said sneering
" You know what you're right, I am a bitch" Kendra said getting up as she put her phone in her bag
" Sit the fuck down" Dan commanded
" But you tend to forget I am not any kind of bitch, I am a badass blood, you shithead" With that she took her glass cup and broke it on his head
" FUCK!" Dan screamed from pain and embarrassment as the wine flowed down from his head, staining his shirt,
Stacy and her date rushed over to the table to see what the problem was, but Kendra couldn't give a damn
" Happy Valentine's Day, Daniel" She said as she walked away

Jenny walked into a hospital room with a somewhat solemn smile
" Hey mom I brought you something" She said as she faced a woman staring outside the window
" Oh Jenny you came, I told you to stop calling me mom, I am not your mother" the woman replied and turned towards her
She had black inky hair matching that of Jenny's, her face looked wearily and worned out as she gave out a smile, however her silver irises sparkled as she looked at Jenny
" Yes, I know, but I really like it, Dad is outside if you want he can come in" Jenny said
" No, he would try to take your cousin away from me again, did you bring something for him?" She asked,
" Yes, where is he" Jenny asked with a choked voice
" Here, Damion waved to your cousin" She said as she brought out a doll with blond hair and silver irises, she took his tiny hands and waved it
" Hey, Damy I brought new clothes, am sure you would like it" Jenny said as she handed over the clothes
" He said thank you, thanks for dropping by Jenny" She said as she laid the doll down on the chair steadily
" Watch him for me, let me use the bathroom" She said moved to the toilet
Jenny almost broke down in tears as she saw the doll, she moved closer to the doll" Damy" she called out
Her icy facade was nowhere to be found, she was about to reach out to the doll before, the woman came out from the bathroom
" What are you doing" she screamed
"Nothing" Jenny said
" No I said watch him not touch him, you want to take him away from me right just like your father, get out" The woman screamed
Just then some doctors with Jenny dad ran into the room, Jenny's dad pressed Jenny to his chest, while some doctors tried to restrain the patient
"You two GET OUT!, You want to take him away from me again" She yelled
"Mom please" Jenny pleaded
" I am not your, mom!" The woman yelled.
" I think you guys should leave" the doctor said as him and the nurses tried to calm down the patient
" Clarice… Jenny let's leave" her father said and dragged her out of the room.
During their drive home, Jenny didn't speak a single word, she just stared outside the car window
" She's going to get better" Her father tried to calm her
" When, Dad am so tired" Jenny said and ran into the house as soon as the got home
Her father watched her but didn't stop her, instead he put his hands on the steering will with his head bowed down
" Clarice we miss you so much, I shouldn't have let you go on that tour with Damion" he said almost in tears
Jenny ran into her room and laid on her bead with her head bowed, it was already late still she didn't feel like dinner, she picked her phone and noticed she got a text from Damion
' happy Valentine's Day, a day we get to share with our loved ones alive or dead, healthy or ill. All that matters is that you are alive and spreading your love to them, don't forget, for those who are gone from this world or too ill to pay attention to us, our love for them in our hearts keeps us going for them, once again Happy Valentine's Day'
Tears rolled down as she read through it, it was so simple yet insightful, with tears still running down, she typed back
" Happy Valentine's Day too"
.........
Lying down beside a tombstone with the initials MF in a private mortuary and a photo in his hand, he smiled deeply as he went through the replies he got
" Yep, Max would be pleased" Damion smiled
