He pulled me unto the bed with his strength, wrapped his hand around me so tightly on the bed. "I will always love you Elizabeth" he said into my ear. I wanted to push him away but was worried.
I laid there silently. I took in his masculine scent in his warm embrace, he whispered sweet nothings to me.... not me, Elizabeth.
I would be lying if I said that the words, he said didn't touch my soft heart, though they made no sense. He was drunk and would probably not remember a thing by tomorrow, so there was no need catching feelings.
I laid there even after he had slept off and removed his hands from me.
I couldn't control myself from touching his face, there was hurt beneath that strong personality, as much as I wanted to know the entire truth I was scared of the truth, Why?
I slipped out of the bed and creeped out of the room. When I closed the door, I turned to see Jeanette at the hall. My heart stopped like I had done something wrong.
"Interesting" she said with a new fresh accent different from the one she used when her and Alicia arrived, she walks past me without saying more.
My heart was now beating extremely like I had done something wrong and had been caught, so much that I dodged everybody in the morning. I just couldn't face Damon and Jeanette so I blamed my absence for not coming for breakfast on morning sickness.
I had visitors coming in and out to check on me. They were all worried and went far as calling the doctor who assured them, I was doing fine.
I eventually left the bed to go out for a stroll, there I found Xander having a conversation with Alicia. They looked cozy unlike the time Alicia came over before and he treated her like Damon did.
I watched behind the ornamental flowers but nothing happened which was a relief on my part. He walked her out to the part leading to the mansion while I took the other route to the botanical garden in the green house Xander spoke so highly of and where Beatriz spent most of her hours in.
I walked in to the smell of different scent and fragrance, the flowers were separated in different areas and their names written on a board.
It was a sight worth taking precious hours to look at. There was hibiscus, lilies, sunflower, roses of different colors and others. When I was about leaving Damon walked in with some of his bodyguards, he was talking to someone on the phone which was the right time for me to sneak out but that plan made no sense since he had already seen me.
He walked towards me and I stood there not even trying to make a move. "Hold on" he said to the person on the phone. "You were supposed to be lying down on the bed, why are you up?" He asked, wasn't sure if it was out of concern or for the sake of asking cause for all I know he wasn't one of the people who visited me during my fake sickness.
"Yeah, got tired and decided to go for a walk" I replied regardless of his true intentions of asking, I use the opportunity to walk away now.
"You left something in my room, will give it to you later" he said while I was away from him. My feet paused.
Does he know I was in his room? I wanted turn to ask him what was it I left in his room but decided to keep walking and act like I didn't hear a thing.
It was a stupid idea if you think of it, he said it so clearly that even his bodyguards heard and there I was walking away like I was deaf.
Like the day hasn't gone bad enough getting to see Damon, here I am with Jeanette eying me like she was tearing me out bit by bit for her friend when she was the one who flirted with her friend's man in front of her.
I cornered my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water, at least that could keep me calm for a while.
"That's going to make you choke" someone behind me said which made me cough out the water I was about swallowing. "Very deserving" Jeanette said, back to her normal accent, she switches from time to time.

I used a napkin to clean the counter and the maids helped with mopping the floor.
She stood next to the fridge where I was. "Tell a sister, how good was he" she widened her eyes looking interested in the conversation she brought up. I was forced to swallow
the water I had in my mouth, don't want to referred to as the leaking talk
"I have not a clue what you are talking about" I said to her before pouring myself another glass of water to drink.
"Don't act like you don't know that I saw you coming out of his room at midnight, look
I won't spill if you give me details" she pressed more on the issue.
"I am sorry but nothing happened between the both of us, you should know that I am the surrogate and there is no relationship whatsoever with Damon other than carrying this family heir" I angrily left the kitchen carrying with me my glass of water.
Such a small mansion! I bumped into Xander on my way out and angrily pushed him out of the way not minding who he was, I wasn't exactly thinking straight and didn't bother looking at him despite him calling after me.
I could only reflect on my behavior after I had sat on my bed and my head was cooled down. The door to my room opened without a knock, Xander walked in.
"What was that, Priscilla?" He asked, his voice low and calm.
"It's nothing, why are you here?" I snapped which took him off guard, he apologized before he left.
I went after him to explain things, I had no control of my emotions today. "Xander.... Xander.... Xander... Wait up" I begged him, he eventually stopped right next to the pool.
"What's with this behavior towards me? Did I offend you in an any way to warrant any of that, if so, then am sorry" he apologized again and I wanted to blush so badly but I held it in.
"It's not that, I was just upset about something but it's over now and Xander you did also tell me to mind my business which is why I have been distant lately" I said to him.
"I must've said that without thinking, Priscilla you do know I don't mean any of it" "Yeah, I know, which is why you should cool off!" I forcefully pushed him into the pool and started laughing.
The water level wasn't that deep, in fact it was at waist length so Xander was able to regain himself.
"What did you do that for? I am going to get payback" he swam back up and chased me around, It was funny when he slipped and fell to the ground, I just couldn't stop laughing.
I was laughing so hard I didn't realize Xander had caught up to me and was right behind me. "Caught you" he wrapped his hands around my waist to guard me from running away.
"Okay fine you win" I begged for him to release me after he tickled me. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun.
Xander left to get his clothes changed so he doesn't get a cold, I sat at the chair under the parasol.
I sighted Alicia walking towards my direction and even took out a seat for herself. We were both silent before she said, "So you and Xander, what's the relationship? Are you, his girlfriend?"
This was her first time speaking to me since she came into the house and this was the first question, she thought of to ask.
