“Mom, Father, welcome,” Damien greeted with Daciana on his left side and Luca on his right. Damien’s parents had just arrived from their little vacation, and the whole town was ready to welcome them. There were songs and dances, magic tricks, and a lot of food going around. “For a moment, I was starting to think you’d forgotten about us.
“Oh, don’t be like that, honey,” his mother said. Jessi, his mother, was a little more like Damien, while Daciana had taken his father’s looks. While he and his mother had the same dark hair and green eyes, Daciana had taken her father’s red hair and blue eyes. “According to Luca, you have also been away for a while. You should let your Father and me enjoy your time.”
“Exactly, Damien, you know we are not so old yet and can still—”
“Father, please no, we understand. I really do not need to hear that.” Daciana placed her palms before her ears, while their parents laughed at this, but still went on.
“You know, your mother is really a sexy woman…”
Delphine watched all this going from Damien’s room. From a window in the corner of the room, she could see everything going on downstairs. Damien had told her to stay and not to step out; he didn’t want his parents to meet her yet, not until he was ready to introduce her. Delphine didn’t really care though; she walked away from the window, going back to the bed to continue with her nap.
Damien came into the room a while later and found her sitting on his bed, a plate of fried chicken on her lap. “What?” she asked when she noticed the looks he was giving her. “Can’t I eat chicken in peace again? Or is your girlfriend after me?”
Damien smiled; he couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “I was going to ask if you wanted to come down for the celebrations.”
