She loved Michael but only as a friend and Michael knows that too. He couldn’t understand why he suddenly asked Damian if he could date her. After they had breakfast, Ella said goodbye to get ready for their departure and she warned Damian that it should be ready in an hour as well.
Damian just nodded but he had no intention of leaving. He’s already entered Ella’s apartment, is he still leaving? Of course not! He’s not stupid to do that ‘thing’.
Ella only gave her an hour so she hurried up to her room and took her cellphone from under the pillow. When he found what he searched for on Google, he went down again and searched for garlic in the kitchen. She peeled it and placed it in her armpit, then carefully returned to her room so as not to shed the garlic stuck in her armpit.
So Ella’s only one hour turned into two hours, and she kinda smelled of garlic. Damian touched his forehead and when he noticed a significant increase of his body temperature, he got up from bed and opened the glade bottle on the table. After a few minutes, the room smelled of lavender rather than garlic. And before he lay down again, he opened the door so that it would not be difficult for the woman to find him.
As Ella waited, Damian closed his eyes, but unfortunately he fell asleep. Her deep sleep was disturbed when Ella called her name angrily.
“Why aren’t you ready yet? We’re leaving, Damian! ” Ella looked at her watch and it was close to eleven o’clock.
Damian closed his eyes again and then spoke. “My headache,” Damian said.
“Damian! Will you still have a headache when we leave? ” Annoyed, Ella approached the man and rubbed his forehead to see if he was telling the truth and she immediately removed her hand from the man’s forehead because he was about to fall. “Damian, you have a fever! Just a minute and I’ll get the medicine, “Ella said and quickly got out and went to her bag of medicines for fever, cold, cough and flu. When Ella returns to the room Damian used, she immediately supports him to sit down and take the medicine.
“Thank you,” Damian said after taking the medicine. He secretly thanked Ella for giving him biogesic and not the stronger pain reliever. “What time does the game start later?” His voice was hoarse as the woman asked.
“Don’t even think about it. Rest first. Hmmm are you sure you’ll be okay later? ” He didn’t want to leave the man alone in the apartment, especially since he was sick.
“Of course, I still am. I just need a little rest. Just buy me clothes that I can use later or in the next few days,” Damian pleaded with the woman. Blow to the moon he made a plea to the woman but he had a strong hunch that Ella would not refuse.
“Is there anything I can do? What is the size of your pants? ” He asked this but was slightly embarrassed by what he had done. Why the pants were the first thing he asked and not the bottom of it.
“Thirty-four, large briefs or boxers, as well as a t-shirt.” Damian replied as he restrained himself from laughing at the woman’s reaction. Ella was obviously uncomfortable when she mentioned the size of her boxer shorts. Even if something has happened to them, it can still be considered innocent.
“All right,” Ella said and then turned away.
He went back to his room and put his face on the AC unit to cool off. After a few minutes he went downstairs again and left the house. The supermarket is just a short distance from his apartment and if he is lucky that there is no traffic, he can reach the department store in less than ten minutes.
When he arrived at the supermarket, he immediately went to the men’s section and enlisted the help of a sales attendant there. When it comes to pants he knows Damian is delicate and usually only Levi’s brand he notices the guy is wearing. On the t-shirt is anything as long as plain white, gray or black. It’s because he doesn’t like colorful t-shirts because he looks like a Christmas tree even if it’s not. Before she bought undergarments for the man she took a deep breath first. He also did not forget to buy it socks, slippers and a hat.
After paying for everything at the counter, he asked a clerk to carry the shopping bags to the parking lot. The parking lot of supermarket is far away. “Thank you Brother.” He said to the clerk after he gave it a tip.
Ella was about to leave when she remembered to just buy food because lunchtime was near and she didn’t have time to cook when she got to the apartment. He got out of the car and went back inside the department store. He took out arroz caldo for Damian and chicken breasts for him. He bought two orders of porridge because Damian might be short of it.
He just ran slowly on the way home because he didn’t want to throw away the food bought for their lunch. When he arrived at the apartment, his eyebrows rose when he saw Damian outside and happily talking to the girl who had given him the stewed pork this morning.
He frowned as he got out of his car and ignored the man as he entered the gate. He slammed the door shut and maybe Damian heard it because it immediately followed him inside. “Did I think you were sick? Why didn’t you rest? ” He yelled at the man who was just scratching his head so hard.
“Because he always rang the doorbell, it’s a pity if I don’t come out. He just greeted me and took his Mama’s Tupperware, “Damian reasoned.
“Whatever! Tupperware was even used as an excuse, why didn’t you return it to him earlier? That woman keeps coming back here,”Ella was still angry and slammed the food bought from the market on the table.
“Wait, are you jealous of that woman?” Damian asked Ella.
“Why should i? For me, I don’t want anyone else to come to my apartment. DO you understand? Sit down and eat, “he ordered Damian. It was close to twelve o’clock at noon and he still had to leave around two o’clock for Michael’s game at the coliseum.
“It’s like you’re jealous,” Damian said.
“It’s just your imagination,” Ella said and handed the man two orders of arroz caldo. “Eat that to fill your stomach,” Ella said, and then she took out the food she ordered from Mang Inasal. He bet and washed his hands before mixing the chicken oil and soy sauce. He also squeezed some pieces of chili that he had requested earlier. “Would you like me to make you some milk?” he asked Damian before he stood up and went to the refrigerator to get some cold coca-cola.
“Why only porridge for me?” Earlier he had wanted to question the woman since she had placed in front of him two orders of arroz caldo. Her eyes shifted from her porridge to the large piece of chicken on Ella’s plate.
“It’s not porridge, it’s rice broth.” Ella replied.
“And you’re just going to feed me this?” Damian complained and looked badly at the woman for being unfair.
“Of course, that’s for the sick.” Ella said and then ignored the man. “Seriously, I really won’t get tired of the taste of it. Eat it Damian, it might get cold. ” Ella added and when she saw Damian pick up his spoon, she secretly smiled. Maybe he thought he wouldn’t notice the garlic-smell in his armpit earlier.
