Hi guys, its been a minute..  Been doing finals and ive been so caught up, am through but still working on my project.. But i had to squeeze in for you lovely readers... ❤

Damien

Harvey Andrate Solte is not talking to me ! Me! Hollywood A list actor! I thought he was joking....he uses hand signals and writes notes but he won't talk to me.  All because I dramatically went to bring him home.  Big deal!  He is lucky I didn't do the whole Cinderella thing and bring a horse with a carriage!  It would have been epic!

Fine! Two can do this! If he won't talk to me, I'll invite people who will. I pick up my phone and call a few people. And well I called people he loves,  he just doesn't know it yet.  And now to call my ace card against him.

"Jack?  Its Damien, I need you here stat,  but you can't talk to Harvey" I say

"Yeah,  yeah, anything as long as I get to meet this mysterious hubby" he replies

I smirk at this. Jack Torentino is Harvey's favorite actor.  How wicked is it?  You meet your star but you can't talk to him?  Payback is sweet!


Two hours later

Harvey walks in and stands rooted in shock!  Speechless, eyes blown wide....

" Oh my gosh!  What is going on here? " he screams

"Well, since you weren't talking to me, I invited a few friends over" I say

"Friends! These are celebrities!" He exclaims

"They are just friends to me " I shrug

"Am so gonna die!   Jack Torentino, I love your movies, am obsessed with your new action series" he says excitedly

"Thank you, you're really handsome" Jack says

"Jack! No talking to the hubby, you promised, don't talk to him Harvey " I snap

"Guys, enough of this childish behaviour!" Jack says putting his arms around our shoulders and bringing us closer together while the other guests laugh

"Now say hello to each other" Jack says

Harvey blushes and looks at me,

"Hello Damien" he says
He looks adorable,he is so cute!  I just pull him to my chest and hug him good.

"Hey " I whisper

He smiles and pulls away as my friends cheer and call us to sit down. I pull Harvey with me and sit on the adjacent sofa with him on my laps as we play poker. Surprisingly, he didn't jump off. I think we are making progress.


Harvey

In the evening after our guests have left, the chef Damien hired is making us dinner while Damien is playing with Ashton. Am so glad he is doing everything he can to bond with the kid. He is a huge part of my life and my only family.

After dinner is ready, the food is served and we sit at the table. Damien is feeding Ashton today.

A few weeks ago, our lives changed, I didn't know how this would work but I guess things are falling into place now.

After dinner, we sit in the living room and just watch television.
Damien lifts his head from my laps,

"You know we need to have that talk" he says

"Yeah,that talk,alright " I say getting up

"So about our situation, it was unexpected and I feel we should make the best of it, am willing to work on this marriage,  I'll do my best" he says

"I'll try too, I want this to work, not just because of Ashton but it would be great you know, having a husband and family " I say feeling all kinds of mushy and all.

Damien smiles and kneels closer to me running his hands up my arms.

I hear the door turn and we look at the entrance surprised, we weren't expecting anyone. Unless the guests left something behind?

I jump up from Damien as he turns around too,

"Who is it?  He asks

"Your mother " I reply as he gets up and puts his arms around my shoulder, I appreciate the support at this particular time.  Sophia Andrate wasn't my biggest fan right now.

"Hello mother,  what a surprise! " Damien says

"What is going on here? " she asks ignoring the question

"Harvey and I have decided to work on our relationship " he replies

"Damien?  How can you agree to this?  He isnt in your league ... " she throws out

"Mum, this is happening, Harvey is here to stay, I would appreciate it if you made an effort" he says

She huffs annoyed and goes to the door.
Before she leaves,  she turns around and  says,

"I came to tell you that your grandmother is coming and she is bringing that no good boy with her" she says and shuts the door

"That went slightly well" I say

"Yeah" Damien laughs back as he hugs me and pulls me back into the couch as we cuddle and put in a movie.
