Dane’s Irresistible Desire

“I heard that your car is in the garage? Want me to drop you home?” Blaze asked while I am fixing my things. It’s 5 PM and we’re on our way home.

“Don’t bother, where is Zeus?”

“He went home early, Yara had a check-up so he was there because he wants to know how’s the twin. Especially since Yara’s stomach is seven months old, maybe later anytime she will give birth in no time.”

“I see!”

“Are you sure you don’t want me to drop you?”

“Yeah, you can go home, and maybe Maggie is waiting for you.”

“Ok, gotta go. Be careful going home.”

“You too.”

When Blaze left I just sat on the side and leaned back on the reclining chair. I want to pamper myself somehow and the best way to do it is to sit and think something positive.

Honestly, I like to settle down. I envy the four who look happy already. Though Zeus is still a bit in denial I know that when the twins are born he will be able to tell Yara his true feelings.

I want to go home with someone waiting for me. Somehow, a part of me regretted why I didn’t continue my deal with Zeus when he and Yara broke up. When he got drunk in the office and kissed me I would have just agreed that time. But I know, that if I accept that I won’t be happy either because apart from the fact that Zeus doesn’t really love me —– I can’t love him either.

But sometimes I also thought we should have just tried. Maybe it will work out. We are friends and we know each other.

“Argh!” It’s like I’m a child trampling while tweaking my own hair because of what I can think of. Good thing the four fools weren’t here. Anyway, if they were here I wouldn’t even show that I’m a fool now.

My phone rang and I saw an unfamiliar number. I didn’t want to answer but something inside of me said that I should have answered the call.

“Yes?”

“Diana?” My hearts throb when I heard the familiar voice on the other line.

“Wallace?”

“Yeah, it’s me.” If before I felt like a rat in my heart when I heard his voice. Now it was like having a horse when I could confirm that it was him.

“You called? How did you find out my number? ”

“The garage called me to inform me that your car is ready. I would like to inform Dylan but he is still in training with Cluster so I can’t disturb him. And about your number, I took it from Margot.”

“I see. So, my car is ready? ”

“Yeah, honestly, I am down. I bring your car now to the building.” I quickly stood up because of what he said.

“Ow, how did you bring that here? You don’t have a key?”

“Try my luck, Dylan likes to put a spare key under the car so that when he accidentally locks the car he has a spare. So, I just tried if you are like that.”

It’s Dylan’s habit to put a spare somewhere so that when he loses the key, he has a spare. Even at home, we put a spare in any corner.

“I’ll be there in five.” I dropped the call and blew air first. I looked at myself in the mirror and cast spells a few times. I adjusted my lipstick and applied perfume. I fixed my makeup as well.

What the fuck am I doing? Why do I look like a teenager who is thrilled that I do not understand? Fuck, I never feel excited like this before. Oh! come on, self, don’t ve too obvious goddamnit. You’re twenty-eight so don’t act like new teens.

I also carried my bag so that I would never come back here. Since my job is done, I’ll go straight home. While walking I could not explain my nervousness. I know I shouldn’t act like this but I can’t really control myself. I was nervous to face him.

This isn’t the first time Wallace and I have talked but this is probably the longest. Dylan doesn’t want his friends to approach Daze and me, so they are also careful.

Usually, a smile or nod only or sometimes just looks at us. Talking really only when absolutely necessary. Something important about transactions or business.

Only once did Dylan see Cluster touch Daze as a joke to kiss. Cluster slept in the hospital because he broke his leg. So since then, they have been very careful to come to us.

But Wallace is not like Cluster. He’s serious and calm. He is also not like Cluster who knows only nonsense.

“Hi,” I greeted Wallace. “You shouldn’t have bothered to bring that here.”

“I’m going somewhere around here so I used it too.” He laughs. “Here,” he handed me the key. I feel something when I touched his hand. The electricity that travels from my hands through my spine gives me tickles in my stomach.

“Thanks, how much does it cost?”

“No need, I already paid for it,”

“No, I want to pay on it,”

“I insist, Diana, it’s not a big amount so no worries. And accept it as a birthday gift. Your birthday, right? ”

“Yeah.”

“Then, that is my gift.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, and Happy Birthday.”

“Thanks.”

“Wallace, aren’t you done?!” We once turned to the woman who called her. Wallace closed his eyes in disappointment when the woman called him. I also hear him cuss.

“I didn’t bring her in your car, she has her own, she just follows me,” he explained.

“I believe you.”

“Wallace?!”

“Hold on, Erika!” he shouted and looked at me.

“Your girlfriend?” I ask. I don’t know if he notices how I look but honestly, I am in pain. I know I have no right. I am nothing but a person who loves him secretly and that’s all.

“No,”

“A mate?”

“Sort of, but I don’t like —”

“Hey, no need to explain.” I forced a smile to let him know I just didn’t have that.

“Yeah, ah — need to go.”He licked his lips with saliva and damn, it’s so fucking sexy.

“Ok, thanks for bringing my car.”

“No worries.” But he still wouldn’t leave and he was just staring at me.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hey,” I snapped my fingers in front of him and he just smiled.

“Yeah, sorry, need to go.”

“OK,” I just answered and look at him go. He was already walking toward the woman who called him. They got in the car together and the woman was also driving. I felt so jealous and I don’t know why.

I secretly wished it was me. I wish I am the one with him. I don’t know what’s with him but as time goes on my love for him deepens.

Fuck this heart. I should drink to get rid of this pain which in fact has no reason. It’s my birthday so I’ll go wold tonight because my family and I have a late dinner tomorrow. So I will celebrate this fucking birthday with fucking pain.
