Dane’s Irresistible Desire

“Your pepper ex is outside.” My head still hurts a bit from the hangover that happened yesterday so I didn’t go to work but I call Blaze to handle everything. The strength of that alcohol and until now the hangover effect is still there.

“Cooper?”

“Why do you have another gay ex?” he asked again.

“Tss!” Instead of answering him I got up and left the room. I don’t know why Cooper is here because he also didn’t call me or say he was going to visit me.

“Hi,” he greeted me and stood and hugged me immediately. That hug was full of longing.

“What are you doing here? I thought you and Maggie had a meeting today?”

“We already talk and I met Avel. I heard you didn’t go to the office and I was worried. Are you ok?”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Yeah.” I motioned him to sit down. “It’s just a hangover.”

“You want me to make a soup?” I shake my head.

“I am ok, Dylan made it for me.”

“Are you really ok?” He came closer to me and touched my forehead.

“Yeah, don’t worry too much.” I took his hand and then leaned on his shoulder.

“Why were you drunk yesterday?”

“Dylan handed me wine, I didn’t know it was strong. I thought it is the normal one.”

“And you ran out?”

“Yeah.”

“Silly.” He kisses my head.

“Thank you for coming.”

“If you need anything, just tell me.” He stroked my head and kissed me again.

“Thanks.”

“By the way, I’ll be leaving after the promotion, but I want to pay a visit to Dave and Lileth first, I miss them both.”

“Ok, we can have fun while you’re here.”

“Thanks, I really need that. But I will have more fun even if I’m just next to you.”

“Cooper,”

“I mean it, Dane. I don’t need anything, just only you, and I already have everything with me.”

“Sweet ah! It seems true.” We ignored Dylan who had just come out of the room. He stood in front of us smiling. No, crazy smile.

“Thanks for letting me in, Damon.” Cooper thanked him.

“It’s ok, you’re courting her again?” I frowned at Dylan.

“Hoping, but Diana is not ready.”

“What’s not ready, she won’t because —–” He didn’t finish what he was going to say. “Just a joke, don’t mind me.” We were in that position when suddenly the doorbell rang.

“You have a visitor?” I ask.

“Yes, wrong timing case.” Dylan walks to the door and opens it.

“You’re too early,” Dylan greeted whoever his visitor is. But I was surprised to see Wallace as his guest. I would have adjusted my seat when Cooper pull me harder.

“Let him be jealous.”

“But —-”

“Use me, Dane,” he whispered. “I’m willing to annoy him and let him know what he wasted.”

“Are you coming in boy or do you want to leave?” Dylan asked Wallace. He entered immediately and walked towards the sofa opposite us and sat there. “Oh, no fighting! I will hit you with Doraemon when someone will start, “he added referring to his Doraemon human-size statue standing next to Wallace.

“And you, just stay put there and we’ll talk later because I’ll just finish something first,” he said to Wallace.

Wallace looked at me, then at Cooper, and back at me. The way he stares at me makes me feel uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth, clenching his fist, and seemed to be eating me whole. Well, he used to eat me —- ops! I mean —- never mind.

“Do you have any problem with us?” Cooper asks so I settle down and look at him. “You keep on glaring at my girlfriend.”

“Why is it bad to look at Diana?”

“Yes, I hate when someone looks at my property.”

“Cooper.” But he presses my shoulder.

“If it belongs to you. Hold on! Maybe someone else can get her when you let her go.” Wallace gives him a smirk.

“It’s ok, I know that she still comes home to me because I can tame her more and I can make sure she is safe. Not like the others who run after they bite.” I saw Wallace clench his fist tight. He also doesn’t take his gaze away from Cooper. Cooper also does.

“Cooper,” I called to get his attention but he didn’t look at me. “Babe?” That’s the only way I can get his attention.

“Yes, babe? Do you need something?”

“I want to eat. Can you join me in the kitchen?”

“Sure, anything for you, babe.”

“COOPER!” But Dylan calls him and walks toward him. “Don’t you want to see my actual painting of a pregnant woman? Come and I will show you to the mini gallery.” He cocked his head and invited Cooper to come.

“Dane?” Cooper asks my permission.

“Leave Dane here. Because if you want, I’ll give it to you as a gift and you can bring it.”

“Dane?” Cooper call me again.

“I’m good, I’ll stay in the room and wait for you there.”

“Come on, Dane is grown yo.” When Cooper and Dylan leave I stand to go to my room. I didn’t have time to stare at Wallace. His presence annoys me mostly the way he stares. I am in the front of the door when someone held my hand.

“Can we talk?” It was as if cold water had been poured on me. My heart beats so fast. Electricity flows but I manage to calm myself. Relax self.

“Talk about what?”

“Why are you doing this, Diana?”

“Doing what?”

“You and that asshole.”

“Excuse me, if there’s an asshole here it’s you and not him. He didn’t do anything wrong so don’t call him an asshole.”

“Are you defending him?”

“Yes, because he’s not doing anything bad to you.”

“Yes, Diana, he took you from me.”

“Excuse me again, he didn’t take anything from you because I was his first so don’t act like you were robbed.” He did not respond to what I said. “You know, Wallace you’re an ass. You pushed me away and now you’re angry that I have someone else with me. You have Isabelle too, right? So what’s your problem if I have someone else besides you? Oh, we’re done.”

“Stop saying nonsense, Diana.” Something he said.

“I had a lot of sense, it became nonsense when I loved you.”

“Take back what you said?”

“Why would I? I told you the truth.”

“Are you saying that you regretted that you love me?” I swallowed before answering. I look at him to show I can face him.

“Loving you is my heart’s choice, giving you myself is my mind’s choice. I do not regret that I loved you but I regret that I follow my heart for you that caused me to be hurt. But it’s okay, I also enjoyed it.”

“So I’m still the one you love?” He smirked. “You used your ex, to make me angry, right?” And he smiles.

“Nope.” But his smile also disappeared immediately. “Why would I? If I knew I wasn’t important to you and you didn’t care about me. There’s no use in using someone to hurt you or to get you mad because in the first place you never care about me and my feelings. Ah! There is a reason to use him. To show you that you are not a loss and that I can easily change you. That you are not the only man and you are not the only delicious.”

“You can’t understand, Diana.”

“I am, I understand that your pride and ego are more important to you. And I understand that I am a simple fuckbuddy to you. Nothing more, nothing less. So if you don’t mind, would you please excuse me and I need rest to earn energy for my boyfriend later.”

“One question one answer. Are you two had a relationship again, and do you still love him?”

“Those are two questions but I will answer. Yes, he is my boyfriend now, and I love him. I loved him before so it’s not hard for me to love him back.”

“And me?”

“What about you?”

“Your feelings towards me? You told me you love too.”

“It’s slowly disappeared, now he’s with me.”

“You can’t do this, Diana.”

“I can do whatever I want. And you, stay with your dog, Isabelle.”

“Diana, you don’t —”

“Would you please stop touching me? You have no rights at all because you already dump me so have no right to touch me. And please my head hurts and I feel dizzy so let’s end this nonsense discussion. We’re done, so don’t come near me if it’s not about business what you need. Excuse me.” And I left him.

I heard him cuss before I finally entered the room. I blow when I get inside. I’ve been nervous facing him but I did show it to him. I won again, Wallace. Don’t go around me because you will witness many more annoying scenarios.

You want this, don’t you? Then feel it.

Does he like me so he reacts like that? Whatever, I don’t care.

I AM ON MY to visit Dave in his office. Cooper and I talked that we will visit Dave before he left the country. And since he was just taking care of something, I went straight to Dave and talked that we would just meet here.

“Hi!” I greeted Dave with someone. It looks like he’s talking to someone and they’re busy. “Did I disturb you?” I ask and go straight.

“No, come in, we’re almost done,” he replied so I entered. But I was shocked when I saw Wallace and Isabelle inside. I also saw Wallace was surprised to see me. Isabelle gave me a goofy smile and even held it to Wallace’s thigh. While Wallace look at me seriously. “Just give me twenty minutes, Dane. I’ll finish signing this.”

“Take your time.” I sat in the corner and took a magazine. I also simply looked at Wallace who I caught looking at me but I ignored him.

What are they doing here? Are they having a business with Dave? And are they really still together? He even said that he will take me back, but he was hanging out with others. TSS they are compatible. A fuckboy and a fuckgirl.

The door opened and Cooper entered. I smile at him and I motion to come closer to me.

“Am I late?” he asked and sat beside me.

“No, Dave still has a visitor.”

“I thought I’m late.” Cooper looked at them and looked surprised when he saw Wallace. He also looked at me as if asking me what are they doing here but we never talked again.

“Well, you’re not.” I noticed that there was dirt on the side of his ear that clung to her hair so I removed it. Something like a small feather blown away by the wind. “There’s dirt.”

“Thanks.”

“Dane, Cooper, come,” Dave called and then stood up and went to the large sofa near the desk. I saw Isabelle and Wallace that they were the ones signing what Dave had signed earlier. Cooper and I stand and go to him. I kissed him on the cheek.

“Wazzap bro!” They make fist bomb and hug. Both of them are childhood besties. But honestly, I don’t know if Dave knows about Cooper’s identity.

“So, I heard you are living in Dane’s pad?” Dave started and we sat down at the same time. Cooper and I were sided by side and Dave was opposite me. While the two were on his side.

“Yes,” Cooper answered.

“You two again?” Cooper and I looked at each other when Dave spoke again. “I got your back bro. You know that if I am the one to choose who will be my sister’s love I want you. None other than you.” Dave knows about me and Wallace. Honestly, everyone in the family knows but they remain quiet because dad didn’t act either.

“Thanks.”

“So, why did the two of you come here? I wished you would say that you’re going to get married,”

Dave said but we still haven’t been able to answer when we heard a glass broken near Wallace’s place.
