CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
= DIANA DANE’s POV =
I am walking back and forth and staring at the wall clock since earlier. It’s almost 12noon but Dylan and Cooper are still not yet to come. The last time I talk to Cooper he said he was already at the airport. He also said that he can no longer call because he does not have internet outside or regular calls. I call Dylan but he did not answer.
I am not worried but I am wondering what took them so long and they are over almost two hours late?
Cooper has business here with Maggie and Avel and asked me if he can stay for two weeks with me. Since I had no one with me, I agreed. Besides, we used to be together in a house or room when someone was out of town, so it wasn’t new for us to be together.
The doorbell rang so I quickly opened the door because I knew they were that.
“What took you so long?” I have an annoying question for Dylan and Cooper with —- Wallace? What is he doing here?
“Hey, don’t get mad. We’re stuck in traffic and all our phones have no internet.” Cooper hug me and I hug him back. “I miss you.” I saw Wallace’s face annoyed. If he has a problem then why is he here? He wasn’t included in it but instead of noticing him, I hugged Cooper even tighter.
Well, honestly, I miss him too.
“Oh come on, Wallace and I think they want a quality time,” Dylan smirked at Wallace.
“Can I have some water?” Wallace asked.
“Let’s drink outside,” Dylan cheered again.
“I’m fucking thirsty and it won’t take long.”
“Come inside.” I open the door wide and let them in. Wallace went straight to the kitchen and I ignored him. He used to take care of my kitchen so he will take care of his life. Cooper was also not surprised by Wallace’s actions because honestly, he knows everything about me and Wallace.
From the beginning until the end.
“Fucking jealous,” Dylan whispered.
“Why he’s with you?” I asked.
“I don’t know, he even goes to the airport earlier than me. When I got there, it looks like he slept there because he was wearing the same clothes. And there is a spare inside.”
“What?” I asked then looked at Wallace who looked bad at me.
“He’s just jealousy and can’t admit it, just annoy him so you can get revenge.” I stared at Dylan. “Just for fun.”
“Tss,” I hissed. Then I looked again at Wallace who was staring at me and slowly drank. What is his problem?
“Dane, you told me you bake lasagna for me. Where it is?” Cooper ask. Of course, I cooked it because that’s his request.
“Oh wait, I’ll take it.” Then I went to the kitchen. Wallace is still there but I just let him. He slowly drank the water while looking at me and seemed to have no plans to consume the water in his glass. He gritted his teeth while staring at me.
“Excused me I’ll take something,” I said. He moved a little so I passed behind him.
When he was behind me he turned to face me. Our situation was awkward because he was facing me and staring. I don’t know what’s running through his mind. But I still calmed myself down and pretended I didn’t care about him.
“Wallace! Haven’t you finished drinking yet? How many drums did you drink?! ” Dylan shouted.
“I decided I want to eat too!” I looked at him.
“What?! Let’s eat outside.” Dylan approached us but with an annoying smile. “This asshole. Let’s eat outside and I’ll feed you a lot.”
“Diana, can we talk?” he asked instead of answering Dylan.
“Fuck, just want to talk to my sister but a lot of excuses.” Then Dylan turned away.
“What are we going to talk about?” I asked then let’s get ready and get some lasagna.
“Why is Cooper here?”
“Why, what’s the problem if he’s here?”
“What is the problem? He’s your ex, Diana.”
“Correction, we’re back as a lover.” But since Cooper knows about me and Wallace I think nothing wrong if I use him first to annoy Wallace.
“What?”
“Cooper has been talking to me for a long time. I just didn’t accept because you were there. So, now that you’re gone, I accept him back so we can start.”
“Ah! And you think he won’t reject you when he finds out that something happened to us while you were away and I was your first?” He said arrogantly.
“He knows.” I smiled in response. What is he fighting for? He, on the other hand, wants us to cut off our connection. Now that we are done with what he wants he will act affected. But he was unlucky because I was better at acting than him.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“And it’s ok with him?” He asked with a frown.
“Yup, and that is why he’s here because we will start again. This time in the same house. Live in.”
“Are you out of your mind, Diana? Will you live together?” All right, be angry because you’ll be angry later. “You’re losing yourself.”
“In the meantime, yes, we’re living together while talking about our upcoming wedding. We’re not getting any younger so we can settle down quietly.”
“Fuck!” I was surprised when Wallace suddenly held me with both hands. His face was red with rage. “You can’t do that.”
“I can do whatever I want.”
“Take back what you said. You lied, Diana.”
“No, I didn’t. Cooper and I are getting married. As soon as possible. So I can be with him in Canada when he returns.”
“You’re not allowed,”
“And why not? He loves me, and I belong to him first.”
“You are mine now,”
“You let me go, remember?”
“Then I’ll get you back,”
“Put a label first and I’ll break up with him.”
“What do you mean?”
“Own me by giving me a right to be your girlfriend.”
“What’s happening here?” Wallace quickly removed his hand from me. “Something wrong, babe?” Cooper asks. We used to call babe when we were and we never took that away.
“No, nothing, babe. Wallace just wants to clarify something.”
“By holding your wrist?” He asked without emotion and looked badly at Wallace before looking at me again.
“Is there a problem if I touch Diana?” Shit! Wallace looks hot-headed and in Cooper’s appearance, he doesn’t seem to be joking either.
“Yes, because you’re holding my girlfriend’s hand.”
I know how Cooper loves me back then. If only in love I knew that he loved me too. We didn’t separate just because of her sexuality because I can accept that and he can also be honest with me.
We separate because I want him to be free. Be him and he can do what he wants without thinking about my reaction. Find the truth in himself where and what will make him happy.
“Dylan!” I called Dylan. Maybe, what will gonna happen to them. I know how good Wallace is at fighting but I also know that Cooper will not lose. He may be gay inside but he looks even more masculine than a real man. He has a good shape and a body that can keep up with. When it comes to fighting he knows taekwondo and muay Thai.
“What’s going on here?” Dylan asked as he got closer.
“Looks like you need to take your friend home, Damon,” Cooper replied.
“Why, what’s wrong?” But instead of Cooper answering Dylan he took my hand and lifted it. Then I noticed that it was a little red. Come on, I know Wallace didn’t mean it. I am just easy to get red.
“Do I need to specify what your friend did to my girlfriend, Damon?” Even Wallace was surprised at what he saw.
“Really stupid. Let’s go,” Dylan said.
“Diana, I’m so —”
“It’s fine,” I said.
“I said let’s go.” Dylan grabbed Wallace’s hand and then pulled away.
“Are you ok?” Cooper asked me and backed me back into the living room when Dylan and him were out.
“Yeah.”
“What did he do to you?” he asked as we both sat on the couch.
“No, nothing.”
“You can’t hide in me, Dane. Did he do something to you?”
“No, nothing, Cooper.”
“Are you sure?” I nod and lean my body on the sofa. “Dane.” I sighed first before answering.
“He just wants to talk. That’s all.” I don’t want to tell him everything because I’m still confused by Wallace’s actions. I would like to think he is jealous but why?
“I believe you.” He clasped my face and looked at me. My forehead was still furrowed as he held my face. “You’re still a cute babe. I really love that frowned face of yours every time you get mad at me.”
“I know.”
“Dane.” He moves closer to me. “You know that even though I’m of this gender, I haven’t lost my love for you. I can be a lover, a friend, or anything that you want me to be just to make you happy.” He caressed my face.
“Thanks, Cooper.” He slowly approached me and kissed me. I responded to his passionate kiss and it went even deeper. He even clasped my bosom. We did this before but only until then. Up to the top just because we were both holding back then.
“Dane,” I heard his gasps, and buried his face into my neck.
“Cooper,” I moan when his hand is inside my bra and played my erected nipples. He bowed his head and sucked my tits.
“Oh shit, porn. “You can lock the door next time.” The door suddenly opened and Dylan entered so we were able to sit down. “I just forgot my cellphone.” Cooper adjusted my dress and smiled at me.
“Ok, we’re leaving. Go ahead and build an offspring so that I can be an uncle.” The door was wide open so I could see Wallace’s face outside with his face furrowed and his fist clenched tightly but instead of being disappointed, I gave him the sweetest smile to make him angrier.
‘I know how to play too, Wallace. I am a Dy, remember?’
