Willow’s POV
…
It’s been two weeks since Damian came back with a huge hole in his abdomen. He only stayed in bed for one whole day and insisted that he was fine the next. He went back to work like nothing ever happened.
I haven’t seen him in three days. When I decided to go back to work at the diner. I had to tell Virgil because I couldn’t find or get ahold of Damian. Virgil came back an hour later and told me that I could go back to the diner but I can only work three hours. Damian doesn’t want me there very long and I can only work behind the bar. I can’t go out onto the lobby floor.
I guess he is being overprotective.
So here I am standing behind the bar serving customers that are seated in my area only. While Kristin and Dean serve everyone out on the floor.
” Can I get a refill?” A older man asked snapping me out of my train of thought.
I nod, ” Y-yes of course.” I walk over to the coffee maker and pull out the full coffee pot. I walk back over to the old man and began filling up his coffee mug.
The sound of the bell ringing let’s me know that more customers have walked in. So far my area hasn’t been too busy but I think that is mainly because Dean keeps seating some of the customers at his or Kristin section.
I am guessing that it is another one of Damian condition for letting me come back to work. It’s getting kinda annoying because I don’t have very many customers to keep me busy. I only have six customers in my area. While both of their sections are packed full of customers.
Every now and than I do catch people staring at me, but they don’t whisper or say anything to me. I still get dirty looks from everyone but that is pretty much it.
” Willow can you come back here!” Jake yells out through the kitchen window.
I wonder what he wants now?
This is the sixth time he has called me into the back. I swear if this is him telling me to take another unnecessary break I am going to lose it.
I am pregnant not ill.
Walking into the back I see Virgil leaning against the entrance to the kitchen. While Jake is walking out, ” Come to the break room with me.” He tell me.
I roll my eyes, ” Is this another stupid break?! I spend more time sitting than I do actually working!” I snap at him.
” We can have this conversation in the break room.” Jake tells me as he walks past me and goes down the hall.
I follow behind and can hear footsteps behind me. So I know Virgil is following behind me.
Why is he following me?
Is he not hear to see Kristin?
Walking into the break room I sit on the couch. I watch as Virgil shuts the door behind him. ” What is going on?” I asked Jake and glance at Virgil. ” And why are you here?” I asked Virgil.
” Damian wants you home.” Jake tell me.
Seriously!
I have only been here about two hours. The deal was I get to work for three hours. Although I have been sitting more than I have been working.
” No! I been sitting more than I have been working! Not to mention the deal was to work three hours. I only been here for two hours!” I snap at both of them.
Virgil sighs, ” It doesn’t matter. Damian wants you home with him. So I am going to take you home and I will come back to help Jake with the diner.” He informs me.
I shake my head, ” No! You tell Damian to come here!” I snap at Virgil.
” If you don’t come with me now. Damian isn’t going to allow you to continue working at the diner.” Virgil tells me in a stern tone.
I glare at Virgil and stand to my feet. ” Fine!” I says angrily.
Virgil gently wraps his arms around my waist securely before he transports me back to the masion. Once we arrive at the house and Virgil let’s go. I start storming through the masion angrily as look for Damian.
I find him in our bedroom with grey sweatpants on and a towel on his head with water still dripping from his muscles.
” Why did you have Virgil come and get me?! I still had an hour left of work! Not that I would call it work since Jake had me sitting through most of my shift!” I snap at him.
Damian tosses the towel into the hamper full of dirty clothes. ” I wanted you home with me and you shouldn’t be on your feet for long periods of time.” He says glancing for at me.
” I am pregnant not a sick or injured! And for your information walking is actually very healthy for the baby!” I snap at him angrily.
I watch as Damian stands up and walks over to me. ” Calm down and sit down.” He says in a stern tone.
” No! You been treating me like a baby since I got pregnant!” I snap at him again.
I watch as Damian’s eyes flash bright red causing me to take a step back. Only for him to reach out and grab my arm a little rough.
” Damian stop! Your hurting me!” I say as he gently pushing me onto the bed. “What is wrong with you!” I yell at him and throw a pillow at him.
He catches the pillow and stares at me intensity. ” When I say do something. You do it! The safety of the baby and you are important. I don’t need you stressing out. Walking might be good exercise for human babies, but you are carrying a baby that is part demon. So it can weaken you health wise. I am going what is best for you!” He says through clenched teeth.
” Yeah! Because grabbing me by force and making me to sit on the bed it really helping me stress wise!” I snap at him.
Damian laughs, ” Keep it up and I will lock you in the bedroom.” He tells me in a calm tone.
My eyes sight starts to get blurry from the tears threatening to fall. ” Why are you being mean!” I cry out as I wipe the tears that are now sliding down my cheeks.
Stupid hormones! Not to mention he is being a dick.
I watch as Damian steps a little closer to me. ” I am doing what is best for you. If I have to be mean to you, for you to get that. I will be mean.” He says as he gently wipes my tears away with his thumb.
” Fine..” I tell him in a low whisper as I sniffle.
He kisses my forehead softly, ” Now get some rest. I will go get you something to eat.” He says softly before pulling away from me.
I watch as he walks out the bedroom. When he shuts the door I hear a clicking sound.
He locked me inside.
