Chapter 15: Chapter 15
"You're telling me after you cried your eyes out on my shoulders and ruined my Versace you still have the mind to chase them out that night. Why?" Jerry ask still confused with a scowl.
"Stop looking at me as if I committed a crime, I was just playing safe plus I don't trust myself alone with them." Daisy reasoned with a slight shrug.
"Yeah I understand you perfectly well, you've got some fine men in your nest Daisy bear. I was almost swooned if not that I am straight I would love to tap those fine ass." He jokes fanning his face with his hands dramatically which earn a deathly glare from Daisy.
"They mine Jerry never forget that, I don't like sharing so keep your thoughts to yourself." Not taking the joke as what it is.
'Hahahaha, "I'm just teasing you. At least you have your shine back on. Never knew I'll live to see the day you'll act like a cave woman."
"What do you mean by that, I always had my shine." She argues.
"No no no, when I saw you as you came back from Dubai truthfully you look like an extra from the walking dead aka a zombie. I thought I lost you." He laughs loudly.
She pouts "not funny Jer. The problem is how will I tell mum and dad." She chuckles heartily.
"That's story for another day now let's go grab lunch. I know this perfect place, it's an African restaurant and it's my treat plus I know you miss the local dish cos its been so long . So lemme round up my shoot then we can have lunch and gossip more about your bosses." he wiggles his thick brows which causes her to blush.
Time skip
"So what exactly are you looking for?" He sits on a fancy couch sipping his flute of champagne as some girls in the store came gushing for an autograph which this so called friend of hers didn't refuse his groupies.
"I don't want anything flashy, just a simple gown for the occasion." roaming through racks of fancy dresses.
"OK go check that aisle while I search here for something gorgeous." finally he dismissed them and got to work winking at a customer who turn tomato red. Sometimes she can be jealous of his famous lifestyle.
They kept on searching aisle upon aisle for the perfect dinner dress. None caught their eyes, this is her zings, her first date or should I say dates and she want to look good for them. She kept changing into different gowns close to an hour until she saw Jerry waltzing towards her with a satisfied smirk on his cute face. That look only means he have found the one. And so did he...
"Oh Jer this is so beautiful, I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror. What will I do without you in my life?" I admired the chic material that hug my fitting form at the full length mirror.
"Nothing babe cos without me you're unhappy and bestfriendless. So enjoy it while you can, besides I'm preparing for my own woman whom I'll also spoil." he walks closer adjusting it's fitting for her.
"I bet she'll be. Let me enjoy your time and attention before she comes. I know they'll love this dress. I've never tried yellow and this kills it all. I'll just pick one of my random shoes to
go with it like sneaker or a pair of flats." I coyly remark knowing his outrageous reaction for my nonchalant fashion sense. Wait for it... Wait for it Now.
"Daisy Ima Kings!!! Are you out of your mind?" He shrieks. Told you so. I burst out laughing.
"I swear the look on your face was worth it'. I say pointing at his face 'You basically paled. Calm down I was messing with you." She laughs hysterically clutching her heaving chest.
He huffs "Wait till I tell mum about this, I swear if I have a wrinkle on my beautiful face I'll so keep you on a timeout forever." He pouts facing away.
Just then mum's video call intercept his tantrums and bickering in the shop.
"Hey momma." she sing sang joyfully.
"Hey sweetie, how are you doing? Guess you're enjoying yourself during shopping and why is my baby having a scowl on his beautiful face? What did you do to him?" she peeps at an annoyed Jerry.
"Nothing MA, Jerry is just been Jerry, his usual over dramatic self. I'm sure hell be fine." She waves it off rolling her eyes mistakenly.
"Daisy don't you dare talk to my boy like that or roll your eyes at me." Mum warns.
Sometimes these two can be a thorn of pain to my flesh, they even gang up against me. I'm her child for crying out loud and yet she favours him more than I. I can remember on my 18th birthday when they set me up with our neighbors son. Embarrassing much. Seriously, how can my mum and my best friend side against me. Who does that?
"OK OK I surrender, Jerry Boo I love you and I didnt mean to hurt your beautiful self. So can you tell mum you've forgiven your Bae and we can head back home." I blow kisses for him just as he took the phone from me with a stern look. Drama King much.
"You are in luck." He points at her. "Anyway hope you good Mum, can't wait to come back and see your beautiful face which I've missed since I've been busy shooting. Don't worry I have surprise for you." He flatters my mum.
"That's my baby boy, OK now I know that girl won't let me on the gist. Why are you both shopping?"
"Daisy got a sexy date." He whisper screams, mum squealing and my face covered in blush.
Told ya
"Don't worry she'll tell you when we visit during weekend mum, but we'll stop at my family home since mum misses us then we can come over."
"OK children and say hello to your parents for me son, I'll see you both soon." she blows kisses at them and hang up.
Giving him a harsh palm at the back of his head which he yelped. "So in the shortest sentence ,why will you tell mum I have a date?" Daisy chastised.
"You need to be happy I didn't say dates, but still she need to know what's going on in your life. You can't hide it forever. Although my main aim was for payback." He grins evilly.
"I hate you so much, Oh Jerry what will I tell them this weekend. That i'm dating two guys and I don't or can't explain why I'm attracted to them. Which in a literal sense you can't love two men at a time. Which also means I'll be sent to the kookoo unit like soon." I sat beside the dresser panicked.
"Calm down calm down, follow me breath in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out. Good cos you were about having a nervous break down due to your panicked state."
"Thanks jer, OK what if I don't tell them. I kinda fake my death or run away so they won't know. Nope that will break their hearts, OK how about I don't tell them at all and keep it a secret for life. Yes I got it. How about I elope and get pregnant." To me those were my best option... I think.
"I swear if you're not my babe, It will be a with great joy slapping you back to reality. All what you just said are gibberish, do you actually think before you voice out you words. You actually do remember couple of minutes ago I told mum you're going on a date and we'll be home this weekend." titled his head as curls of brown locks fell over his eyes.
"OK OK don't rub it on my face I'm that stupid."
"Oh you're more than stupid, you're also crazier in love with your bosses." He sang playfully nudging her sides.
'Hahaha "funny right, well crazy in the sense I loose my shit when they kiss me, touch me or..."
"Hey hey hey, must you scar my mind this afternoon. What will be your gain you evil witch." He close his ears for protection which I giggle.
"Anyway we need to get going cos this hunk is ready to devour the whole kitchen." tapping his tummy smugly.
"You know I kinda wonder how you still get such a killer body to display to your groupie fans."
"Specs of being me baby. I'm a god to be adored." Jerry gave a dramatic pose of a Greek god. I swear this guy is so full of himself which earned an eyeroll from me.
"Whatever, stop being such a drama king cos you don't need to flaunt it around me. I own all this." gesturing with my index to follow me.
"Says the drama Queen, but I can't argue with that. Now are we going to keep talking or go look for food." He step ahead dragging her away.
**********
"Hey Dad, did you miss me?" Daisy greets her dad as he gushes over her in pride at the door.
"My little girl, what a beautiful young lady you're now." he opens his arms wide for a hug which she envelope herself in his comfort, tears brimming down as he wipes them away.
"Oh Dad, I miss you so much. But don't worry I'll make it up this weekend." she beams at him. Looking behind her to see his other child. All swaggered up in Jean, polo and leather jacket.
"I bet you do, and who do we have here. My favorite boy come give Papa a big hug." Dad opens his arms wide for Jerry.
"Hi Big daddy, how have you been faring without my troubles.?" Jerry drops their bags hugging Mr King who laughs as they all walk into the den.
"Uhm Dad where's mum? Shocking she didn't come to receive the door herself."
"Right here baby! In the kitchen preparing your favorite dinner." Mum voice out from the kitchen causing Jerry to run straight for her or should I say the food leaving me with our bags. Foodie much.
"I really don't understand why he haven't been fired from his job with all this food he munches.Her dad whispers with a laugh.
"Same question I ask myself Dad, same question. Well I'll go up and freshen up before dinner is served. Do tell mum not to spoil Jer's lazy ass with more food."
"I heard that Daisy and if I were you I'll run before i catch your own lazy ass." She ran quickly giggling as she shut her door.
Timeskip
"So how's life In the big city of famous super stars." Dad drops his fork wiping his mouth with a napkin looking at her.
ĹWell good Dad, everyone is trying to outshine the other. Kind of a competition stuff going on which I don't mind the beefs." She beams widely.
"I knew you've always been evil but how can you get joy watching others downfall and outburst." Mum admonish her talk.
"That's cos I learnt from the best and it's not my fault everyone's trying to rip each other apart all for the life of fame." Daisy blows a kiss to her Dad who caught it smiling at her. She really got her attitude from her Dad... no doubt.
"So I found out from your mum you've started dating. Is it true?" He looks at her with pride.
She clears her throat. "Uhm yes Dad." She looks at Jerry opposite her for help.
"It about time, your mum and I ain't getting any younger and we deserve grandkids for our good works. So tell me about him?" Holding his wife hands placing a chaste kiss as he smiles genuinely at what they share and hope for the same for his girl.
"Well you actually got it wrong it's not a him, it's a them." She silently spoke bitting her
lips nervously looking down at her now sweaty palms.
Both parents paused due to the shock and look at their daughter as if she was crazy.
"Daisy Ima Kings! Did you just clarify your date is not one but two men." Mum screams in anger causing both children to jump slightly.
"Mum I wish I can explain but it's just so complicated. I don't know what to say cos I'm still in shock myself but I know I love them." she tries to reason with her mum.
"You make me sad Daisy, I thought your mum and I gave you everything, the best of trainings, education, life, luxury and now you telling us that you can't explain the voodoo of falling for two men."Dad looks at her in disappointment and hurt.
"I'm sorry you're disappointed Dad." She says as tears wells up her eyes, she dare not blink or they'll spill.
"Jerry why didn't you talk her out of this madness. Do you know she'll ruin her life if this goes out? What will people think of her lusting over two friends?" Mum snaps at Jerry who tried his possible best to avoid the battle in the room.
"Big mum, I'm sorry but she has a choice of her own and she was so miserable when I saw her confessing she loves the both brothers."
"Brothers!!! This is utter madness. How did you get involved into this mess huh?" She bang her hands on the table furiously.
"I don't know how it started but they're my new bosses and they're twins. The owners of Adams group of companies." right now her tears are spilling all over her face down her body.
Meanwhile dad kept silent listening to the shocking news and thoughts flew through his thoughts of such atrocity.
"Did you just say brothers and they are twins?" Dad asked to clarify his doubt.
"Yes Dad. I'm sorry-- I really am, but I love them." She bowed her head not wanting to see
their disappointed faces.
"So you got entangled with your bosses and you couldn't choose which you preferred most instead you gave into two of them. Do you even know anything about them? They're ruthless and evil. What were you thinking Daisy? Come to think of it, do you know the amount of women they've been with or their numerous night stands and that's how you want to start your first relationship...by dating two shameless Casanovas. You shame my pride Daisy. I don't know who you are or what magic they did on you but no daughter of mine will bring disgrace to her family name."
"You have just one choice end this MADNESS now or you seize to be our child." Mum stood up with anger fuming as she left the room all red in anger.
"Dad please talk to mum, I know it's confusing cos I'm also confused but please..." She couldn't hold the silent tears anymore and started crying so hard, angry for loving two men, angry for letting her emotions rule her and angry for disappointing her parents.
"I don't know what to say Daisy, it's kinda shocking cos we expected better from you. Really is one not enough that you had to go for two?" He raise his voice a little too loud causing her to flinch back in her seat. He sighs "Just let your mum be for now i'm sure she'll come around...soon. You need to get some rest, you had a long day we'll talk tomorrow." He stood up rubbing his temple exhausted from the news.
She sobs, angrily wiping her face ferociously to contain the tears spilling down her laps.
"Jerry I knew this was a bad idea, I shouldn't have told them. Now they think I'm a slut to have two men. Did you see the disappointed looks they gave me? I've failed them. I can't loose them at the same time I can't loose my family." She held him tight as he brought her closer for a hug concealing her hurt as tears pool down frantically.
"You haven't failed anyone or yourself, I know it's hard for them right now just give them time and it will be better. Have in mind they love you but don't understand your choice of selections, so it's your duty to show them an insight to your decision except you don't love your twins anymore." He thumb her chin to look up to him as he soothes her raging nerve.
"I do but it's so conflicting with the fact mum and dad gave me an ultimatum. Hell I'm still confused why I agreed to this stupid feeling in the first place. I can't loose my parents, they're all I've got."
"Is it just me or your negativity have increased to greater point. You fight for what's yours or someone will waltz in and do it for you. Now wipe those pretty eyes and get some sleep, I'll do the dishes since I don't trust you at this stage." He gave her a sad smile as she walk upstairs like a lost chick.
Laying down on her bed as sleep failed to visit her due to the scene that took place down the hall. Her phone vibrates, she didn't feel like talking to anyone but one look at it showed Damon's name. She couldn't escape it, but rather composed herself and pick up.
"Princess what's wrong why are you crying? damn it, tell me the bastardy that cause you this pain. Tell me now who ruined your day?" Leave it to Damon to get a macho and sweet at the same time.
"No one Damon I'm just tired that's all." Well that's half the truth.
"Stop lying Baby girl and tell us who got you upset cos I'll break every single bones in their body and feed them to some hungry wolves." letting that comment slide and no room for arguments she continued.
"My parents found out about us they disapprove of our relationship. I was given an
ultimatum and I don't know what to do. I'm crying my eyes out since they won't shut for me to sleep." The water works start again. Can this day get any worse?
"Don't worry Princess, we'll sort it out I'm sure they're just worried cos our relationship is next to rare but, if they get to know us I'm sure they'll love us as much as you do." he tries to reassure her.
"I'm just worried, I don't want to loose them at the same time I can't loose you both. I can't pick--please." truthfully.
"I promise it will alright, stop fretting and get some sleep. It took us how many centuries to finally have you and now we've found our ma... He paused realising he almost gave it away. 'We love you so much baby girl and nothing can separate us. Now get some sleep we'll see you soon."
"I miss you both." her voice so soft and weak.
"We miss you so much more. Now close your eyes, wipe those tears and dream about us cos I'll ask you tomorrow what you dreamt of." She chuckles at his antic to make her smile
and she's grateful for that, having them in her life is among the best things she's experienced.
"Goodnight kitten." they said.
"Goodnight Damon, night night Damian."
