Chapter 9: Chapter 9

After saying all that, I couldn't help but start to doze off. The alcohol made it impossible for me to stay awake, and I was swamped with sleepiness. I figured Damon would leave me to sleep in the car, but when I woke up the next day, I found myself in my own bed. This was the second time he brought me back to my room to sleep. It was becoming a weird pattern. My head was killing me. After taking a bath and changing into fresh clothes, I felt a bit better, but then hunger kicked in. I thought Damon wasn't home, so I didn't bother with a bra and just slipped on a light silk nightgown, ready to look for something to eat. Halfway down the stairs, I saw a couple of guys sitting on the sofa, all of them staring at me. Damon was also there, holding some poker cards. His face turned sour the moment he saw what I was wearing.. "Hey, eyes off!" Mitch quickly pulled down another guy's head. I quickly dashed back upstairs to change, feeling a bit annoyed at Damon. Why had he been home so much lately? When I came back downstairs all dressed, they had stopped playing cards and were chatting. Damon had several good friends, all of whom I knew, but was not close with. Mitch, Jones, and Cooper. They were all well-off young men. Jones was a bit different, not working in his family's business but choosing to be a doctor. They all knew Damon didn't like me, so they never regarded me as Damon's wife. In fact, they even helped Damon chase other women, all except for Jones. They watched me walk into the kitchen without saying anything. I focused on making a simple plate of pancakes. "Let's go." Damon stood up and said to the other two guys. Mitch and Cooper nodded and followed Damon out. Soon, I heard the car engine outside, but I didn't care as I ate my pancakes.

After breakfast, I put on some light makeup and prepared to go to the hospital. Today was mainly for a check-up and to visit Joshua.
