Chapter 30- thanksgiving.

"Dreaming of you is my great escape"

I've been preparing for this the past 2 days. Thanksgiving meal has to be great.

I'll make you proud grandma. Hehe I'm a chef.

"Gen can you help me in here" I call out. I'm on thanksgiving break and I asked Damian to invite his father while i invited my aunt and uncle.

I want a day with family to give thanks. When I lived with my grandma I would always help her cook and we invited her church friends. Mary and Lisa.

I also decided to invite gen. she would also join in on making dinner. I was content with my little family. I wish my parents were here. I'll just call them later.

"Yes ma'am what shall I do" she salutes jokingly looking around. I think of everything left which is just the ham I put the turkey to cook a while ago.

"Can you just put the pineapple slices in and fix up the ham" I ask. She salutes me and I chuckle.

I leave her in the kitchen and make my way to mine and Damians bedroom. "Love, are you almost ready?" I ask walking in.

I cannot believe this. "DAMIAN ALARIC VILLAREY"  I yell.

He's asleep.

He's also pushing my fricking buttons.

"Hmm" he mumbles out. It's 5:24 what the heck. He came home at 3 from work a little happy he solved the new case he got.

After that he showered and I told him to do what ever then get ready before our guest get here. "I told you to be ready before 6" I softly reply rubbing his back.

"That feels nice" he tiredly tells me. I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose. "I'll get your outfit ready okay?" I mean I get it he was awake since 7 trying to figure out who killed a sweet family.

He was stressing all week and now he found the b word. I mean if I was there his face would be unrecognizable. I would have punched him straight in the nose heck yes I would've.

"No I'm up" he yawns and sits up. I can't help it and give him a hug. I'm really happy today.

"I love you" I tell him. He gives my amazing lips a smooch and smiles. "I love you too but go do your work in the kitchen I'm hungry" he whispers ushering me out while patting my bootie.

I walk back downstairs and check on everything. After I make sure all the food is cooked perfectly I set the table then clean up in the kitchen.

If he doesn't wife me up soon I'll put myself on Craigslist. Hehehe

"Hey Rose I'm going to go home real quick and change then me and Ethan will head over" gen informs me.

"Okay yes that sounds good" I reply. She leaves and I happily skip upstairs. Looking through my closet I find my outfit.

A cute brown sweater tucked into a plaid skirt with some white sneakers. Cute. I then let my hair down and it falls into curls I did this morning. All I need now is my makeup.

That takes me about 15 minutes and I'm finally done. I go into the room and see Damians putting on his boots. I chose his outfit.

We're both in brown. I bought him the outfit and I think he liked it. Usually he wears dark colors from the mix of black to gray but I decided to switch it up a little.

He looks better than the food downstairs.. I did good, maybe too good.

"What" Damian shyly mumbles messing with the end of his shirt once he sees my gaze. My cheeks turn red. "You're hot" i tell him straightforward.

He smirks. If your sexy and you know it clap your hands. I clap my hands and chuckle to myself.I'm so funny I make myself laugh.

"You're beautiful" he murmurs down then gives my cheek a kiss.

I smile and give his cheek a kiss in return. He opens his arms and I immediately step in his embrace letting him wrap his arms around me. I like it here.

Buddy and benji soon come running in the room barking and happily playing with the new toy I got them just yesterday.

Damian says they have too many. I think not. My doggies can never have too many of anything, in fact I think they deserve more.

They also deserve a new friend hehe. I'll convince Damian later.

I watch them play then hear the door bell ring. "Oh my goodness dude, they're here hurry open the door" I whisper shout to him. He rolls his eyes and jogs down while I put on buddy and benjis bow ties I got them.

They're such darn good looking doggies.

I happily go downstairs and see a man talking to Damian. That must be his father.

Making myself known I step next to the dude I've come to love and smile at the guy who helped birth him. "Hello I'm rosaline it's nice to meet you!"

He looks at me and pulls me into a hug. I bet Damian told him how amazing my hugs are. No one can resist.

"I've heard so much about you I'm glad damians finally got someone to put up with his shit and set him straight" he says chuckling. I like this dude.

"Shut up" Damian grumbles glaring at his dad. The door opens and a lady comes in with a little girl. Who are they?

"Oh I hope you don't mind Rosaline but this is Angie my girlfriend and Danielle her daughter" he introduces them. I greet them and they walk to the dining room.

"I didn't know he had a girlfriend" I tell Damian. He looks at me and shrugs. "Well shit me neither"

"Are you okay?" I ask worried. He gives me a reassuring smile and nods.

I hear a knock on the door and open it, this time it's my family. "Hi sweetie I brought pie sorry we're a bit late your uncle here wanted to look his best" she says rolling her eyes.

"You never know what might occur I have to be prepared for anything Victoria" my uncle reply's coming in after her.

I giggle and open the door for them to come in. Damian greets them and then leads them to the table. I look at them all and smile. My family.

All we need now is ge- the door opens. She doesn't knock or anything just comes right in. That's my bestfriend.

"Hey bitches I'm here" she calls out. That's also my bestfriend.

Right after her Ethan walks in "I'm sorry she's just exited" he explain. Gen flips him off and leads him to the table.

I lock the door then head into the dining room and sit. It's so quite in here i need someone to talk or else they'll hear my fart.

Thankfully my aunt saves the day and starts a conversation with Angie. We give thanks and pray then dig in to the food.

"Rosaline this is great my son really is lucky to have you, welcome to the family" Damians father who I now know as Fred tells me. "Thank you very much"

We continue eating and talking. I almost forget that my actual family hasn't called back. While I'm eating my mashed potatoes I glance up.

Fred is teasing Danielle like a normal father would to his daughter. She giggles and her mouth opens widely.

I can't help my eyes get watery. Before anyone notices I get up excusing myself to the restroom.

I then try calling again and this time someone picks up. "Hi dad happy thanksgiving" I start off easy.

"Who's this" he reply's no emotion in his voice.

"Oh it's me Rosaline did you get a new phone?" Maybe that's why he hasn't answered.

He groans. "Yes sure here talk to your mother" I hear talking in the background and make up one sentence.

'I don't care you talk to her I never wanted another daughter you did now you deal with it'

Well okay then, I don't care they won't ever taste my cookies again.

I hang up immediately and stay still. All of a sudden I can't breathe and I start hyperventilating wiping at my eyes every few seconds.

Jesus take the wheel hea- no this is not the time to try and make yourself laugh. I scold myself.

The tears fall out and I'm trying to control my breath. Why don't they love me?

I hear scratches come from the door and quickly rush to open it. Once it opens I fall down trying to breathe and calm down while buddy comes and pushes his face through my arms.

I hear someone come in and ignore it trying to calm myself after what feels like forever.

Buddy licks my face then lays on me. I start petting him and breathe in and out . After a few minutes I'm finally able to take a breather and smile at buddy.

"Your such a good boy" I whisper. I haven't had an attack in a while.

"What happened?" I hear someone voice out and I look up. I became hulk and attacked people then changed back. "Nothing im okay" I assure him.

I get up and walk to the restroom with Damian trailing behind. "You can talk to me" he mumbles.

I look at buddy and he lays on the floor covering his eyes with his paws. Traitor.

"I called my father and well I don't think I'll be talking to my parents for a while" I explain leaving a few details out.

"What did he say?" He asks clearly upset.

I shake my head. "Nothing important let's just go back down and be with our family's " I tell him with a smile. "Rosaline it's fucking important to me if it has you having a panic attack" he yells.

"It's fine I'm over it" I yell back. He's pushing my mother trucking buttons a bit too much now.

"Fine I'll call that peace of shit myself" he states angrily snatching my phone. I immediately go and try to take it back which ends in my cellular device falling.

Now look what he's done. If it broke I'm suing and stealing his.

"Ohhh I'm fixing to punch you straight in the nose" I warn him cracking my knuckles.

"Why can't you just talk to me"

"I am Dude I just told you I'm fixing to whoop your butt" did he just not hear? I swear I was loud too.

"Rosaline I'm not shitting around what did he say"

We're still talking about this? I thought we were over that. Hmm my bad.

"Can you drop it I'll tell you later okay?" He sighs and nods. "Promise?"

"I promise"

We seal the deal then head down of course with buddy following. My aunt comes up to me quickly. "Are you okay I heard him yell" she whispers.

I throw my head back and laugh. "Yes I'm fine We agreed to work it out later" I explain. She nods and we take our seat.

"So Rosaline how's school?" Angie asks making small talk. I smile. "It's going great I love it so much"

"I heard your going for a vet I wanted to do that but just thinking of all the animals I'll have to put down really rocked the boat" she explains.

I smile and nod looking okay but really I'm nervous. What if I can't do it?

I don't want to put any down it seems too sad.

Damian gives my hand a reassuring squeeze and I lean my head on his shoulder.

After everyone's finished we clean up and everyone goes home. I walk upstairs and spot Damian on the bed.

Quickly changing out of my clothing I climb into bed next to him.Maybe if I fake snore he'll think I'm tired and leave me alone.

I snore and face the other way and hear him sigh. "Rosaline I know you're not asleep" well crud now what. "I was asleep" I mumble. He shakes his head. "You promised"

I groan and cover my face with the blanket. The fella uncovers my face. "Talk" Im not a doggie. Sighing I turn towards him and tell him what happened. His jaw clenches and I know He's upset.

"You know it's not your fault right?" I tilt my head. What isn't my fault?

"He's a shitty father and so is your mother you deserve better. Rosaline you did nothing to make them act that way got it?" I nod. "Words" he argues.

"Yes I got it" I mumble out. "Good" Damian seems satisfied with my answer and gives my head a kiss. We snuggle up and talk for a while then i get very sleepy. Oh no he drugged me.

Nah he doesn't have the guts. He knows I can whoop his butt. Speaking of butt I still need to get the routine out of him.

"How many squats do you do?" I question curious to how he maintains a big bootie.

"Dr Miami now sleep"

I knew he had surgery. His butt is nice and round way better than mine I'll have to get in contact with that surgeon.

"Pay for mine too" I chide smiling up at him.

He scoffs and instead of answering, his hands trail down to my butt and he gives it a squeeze. My eyes widen and I feel my face turning the color of a tomato.

"Your ass is perfectly big and round" he smirks at me.

I smack his hands away and roll to the edge of the bed. The blankets are tightly around me making me feel like a burrito.

"Come back" Damian grumbles tugging at the blanket. I ignore him and fake snore some more so he leaves me the heck alone!

He's fixing to get a fist full of face.

"Baby come back" he mumbles scooting to me. He unravels me and uses his arm to securely hold me tight against his chest.

Heck I'm not complaining.

"And I was like baby, baby, baby, ohh" I sing loudly holding back a cackle.

"Shut up" my love oh so kindly hushes me. I ignore his hushing and hum the Justin Bieber song.

"Listen here idiot-" I start my argument while attempting to sit up. Damian frowns and watches me wiggle away from his arms then eventually sit up.

I forget all about my point I was fixing to make and instead grin at the fact that I got out of Damians tight hold. He's literally hulk it's almost impossible.

"Cmere" he lazily pats spot next to him holding one of his hands in the air.

"No" I stand my ground.

"Come cuddle with me" he whines.

"No" I repeat.

"Fine then" he grumbles angrily and turns to his side away from me.

Well heck now what.

I shrug and lay down getting comfy. Frowning when I feel a bit cold I poke the idiot next to me. He ignores me and I poke him 3 more times before giving up and closing my eyes.

Damian stirs next to me then turns to me. He wraps an arm around my waist and kisses my cheek.

"I love you"

"I love you too cupcake" I mumble with my eyes closed.

"You just can't stay away from me huh" I tease him.

"I just fucking can't" he agrees like my b word he is.

I might even be able to get him to adopt another dog. I'm sure if I threaten him with my fist he'll agree. If not I'll tell buddy to attack him! Just not hard enough for him to not snuggle with me.
