Sunny's POV
"I'm home!" I cooed as soon as I entered the house.
"Welcome back my lovely daughter! I thought you already ran away with Jared." said mom while she was lying on the sofa with a face mask on her face and two cucumbers on her eyes.
Dad was lying beside her too, gently massaging mom's feet.
Isn't it obvious that dad is being bullied by his own wife?
"Mom, dad, I have something to tell you."
"What is it? Don't tell me you're getting married with that Jared already just because you went out on a date for one day?" said mom without even moving.
I glanced at the doorway and beckoned Damon to go inside.
"No, mom. I just want to tell you guys that I finally got a boyfriend."
"Oh, really? Who is it again? Don't tell me you asked someone again to pretend as your boyfriend? I already told you, Sunny. You don't have to have a boyfriend for us to be proud of you."
I sat on the couch across from them. "Mom, this is not a pretend anymore. I already have a boyfriend, a real boyfriend."
"Alright, and who is he?"
"It's Damon. Damon Furlord." I said while smiling at Damon who's standing by the doorway.
Mom suddenly got up and accidentally kicked dad's face which caused him to fall to the floor. Her eyes widened while looking at me. "Damon Furlord?! Are you serious, Sunny? You already broke up with him, right? And you were with Jared when you left."
"It's a long story, mom. But what's important is that he's my real boyfriend now."
"R-Really? Where is he?"
I smiled. "Just right behind you."
Mom then shifted her gaze behind her and saw Damon standing there holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He walked towards my mom and handed her the flowers. "Good Evening, mommy."
"G-Good Evening." Mom took the bouquet of flowers from Damon's hand. "T-Thank you for this."
"Where's mine? Do you have something for me too?" dad suddenly kidded.
Damon raised his hand and gave dad a finger heart. "I'm sorry daddy but all that I can give you is my love."
"Oh, okay. That's enough for me I guess." Dad said as he threw a heart finger to Damon too.
Mom and I were just looking at the two idiots.
"Damon, is it true that Sunny is your girlfriend?" mom suddenly asked him.
Damon walked towards me and sat next to me. "Yes. Sunny is officially my girlfriend now. We are not pretending anymore."
"B-But how did that happen? I mean, that woman left this house with the other guy and now she came home with you?"
"Jared only used Sunny to have his revenge to me. He just wanted to take Sunny away from me because his ex-girlfriend broke up with him for me."
Mom's eyes widened even more. "J-Jared did that?!"
"Actually, I couldn't believe it either..."
"That bastard, how dare him do that to my youngest daughter?! I would really break his neck if he shows up here!" dad yelled.
"Then Damon appeared and saved you?" mom asked me.
I nodded. "Yes. I didn't know that he was there."
"That's so sweet!"
Damon and I looked at each other and laughed.
"Wait, you just said that you're in a relationship for real now, right?"
"Yes."
Mom and dad glanced at each other while moving this brows as if they were planning something bad. That actually made me nervous because they are surely planning to do something evil. I know my parents so much.
"If you two are really in a relationship, then prove it to us." Mom said as she crossed her arms and so dad imitated her.
"Huh?! What do you mean? How can we prove that?"
Dad looked at us with raised brows. "It's so simple, kiss each other."
My eyes automatically widened because of what he said. "W-What?!"
"That's so simple if you're really saying the truth."
"Mom, I already told you, I'm saying the truth!"
"Then kiss each other. What's so hard with that? Or don't tell me you're just pretending to be in a relationship again that's why you can't even kiss your own boyfriend?"
I heaved a sigh. "I can't really believe you, guys. Do you really want to see us kissing?"
They both nodded. "Uh-huh."
"Mom, are you serious?!"
"Why? You can't kiss Damon? You-
"We'll do it." All of us turned our heads to Damon when he spoke.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "W-What are you saying?"
"We'll do it. I mean, it's not that hard since we really love each other, right?"
"But-
"Or don't tell me you don't love me that's why you don't want to kiss me in front of your parents?"
he said while looking skeptically at me.
I rolled my eyes. "O-Of course I love you."
"Then let's show it to them," he said.
I looked at my parents who were looking intently at us as if they were really waiting for us to finally kiss.
"KISS! KISS HER NOW! KISS HER NOW!" Mom and dad yelled as if they were cheering Damon to kiss me already.
What kind of parents are they?
They are really driving me crazy.
"F-Fine! Let's end this stupidity now!" I said.
Mom and dad started clapping while wearing big smiles on their faces.
I shook my head as I looked at Damon who's already looking at me. He cupped my cheeks while directly looking into my eyes.
My heart started beating so fast.
I can't believe we'll be kissing each other in front of my parents. This is so awkward!
Damon started moving his face close to me. "Just close your eyes." He mumbled.
"H-Huh?"
"Close your eyes." He repeated.
"O-Okay..."
I closed both of my eyes but my heart still keeps on beating so fast while I was waiting for him to finally do it. I pouted while waiting for him, I thought he would really kiss me but then I just felt his lips on my forehead.
I opened my eyes when he moved away from me. He smiled at me. "I love you, Sunny. And I promise to be the best boyfriend for you. I promise that I will be your first and last."
Sunny's POV
"Good night Damon and Sunny, have a good night!!" mom cooed as she slammed the door of my room, leaving Damon and me alone.
I shook my head as I sat on my bed. "I think my parents trust you too much now."
"I can't believe they would actually let me sleep beside you."
"Who said that you're going to sleep beside me?"
"What?! And where do you think should I sleep then if not beside you!?"
I pointed the couch across my bed. "Just get a blanket inside my cabinet."
"I don't want to sleep on the couch!" he pouted.
"Then where are you going to sleep?"
"Beside you!"
I shook my head. "I'm not used to sleep beside anyone. I like sleeping alone."
"And do you think I care? I will sleep beside you whether you like it or not!"
"If you want to sleep on a bed, then you should go to our guest room."
"You can't boss me around, Sunny Peruvian. I will sleep beside you no matter what happens." He said then he jumped on my bed. He lay down and tapped the space beside him. "Come here and let's sleep! Come here, babe!"
"Damon, get off my bed!"
"No! I don't want!"
I widened my eyes at him. "Damon! I said get off my bed!"
"And I already said that I don't want! Why don't you just sleep beside me? Do you even love me?!"
"We can't sleep beside each other!"
"And why not?"
I suddenly felt the hotness on both of my cheeks. "I-It's inappropriate..."
"We already slept beside each other when we were just pretending and now that you really are my girlfriend, I can no longer sleep beside you? Are you even real?"
"Because back then we don't feel anything towards each other but now..."
"But now we're in love with each other so you're thinking that I might do something to you?"
My eyes widened. "W-What?! I-I'm not thinking about that!"
"Then what are you thinking?"
"I-I'm just not used to it..."
Damon suddenly got up and I was surprised when he suddenly held my hand and pulled me beside him on the bed. "D-Damon what are you-
"You don't have to worry about anything when you are with me, Sunny. I'm not going to do anything that would break your parents' trust in me. And you should be used to my presence because starting from now, you won't be doing things alone anymore." He whispered while hugging me.
I nodded as I hugged him back. "Fine..."
"I can't believe that you are now my girlfriend, for real."
"Me too... I didn't think that I'll end up falling in love with you."
He moved away from me. "What do you mean by that?"
"Huh? What do I mean?"
"It sounds like you can't believe that you fell in love with me. You mean, nothing's likable to me?"
I laughed. "I didn't say anything like that. What I mean is, we were always fighting since the day that we met. And after all you are definitely not my type..."
"Yes, because your type is a lame four-eyed man or a lousy over-confident pop star who doesn't even know how to dress well."
"Hey, you're too rude to them. Henry is not a lame guy. He is so cool and smart. He knows how to handle a girl. He's also good at everything he does."
"Oh, so you're complimenting that guy in front of your boyfriend now, huh? Are you really that disrespectful? He can do anything? Well, I can do anything too!"
I looked at him, trying hard not to laugh. "What can you do aside from sulking like a kid?"
"I can sing, dance, I can also cook and I can also draw and paint!"
"Okay, but Henry can also do all of that. What else can you do that Henry cannot?"
"I can love you, and he can't."
And that shut me out. I averted my gaze from him and stared at the ceiling. "Let's just sleep already, okay? I still have classes tomorrow."
"Looks like you can't say anything about that anymore. I told you, babe. That man is nothing compared to me."
"Fine, fine, now let's already sleep."
"No, tell me that you love me more than that man first."
I rolled my eyes. "Damon, I don't think you still have that much time. You need to wake up early tomorrow because you have a work, okay?"
"No, no one's going to sleep until you admit that I'm better than your exes."
"I don't even have an ex."
"I consider those two as your exes so do it now or I won't let you sleep."
"Damon, I'm already tired..."
He suddenly grabbed my hand and forced me to sit on the bed. "I won't let you sleep until you say it."
"Where do you get so much energy, huh?"
"Just say it, Sunny. Why can't you say it? It's just so simple so why does it seem like you can't do it? Do you even love me?"
This dude is really driving me crazy.
Our relationship just started today and I think it'll end just because of his nonsense.
He's like a girl.
"Fine, let's sleep now. It's alright if you think that they are really better than me. It doesn't hurt after all. Good Night, Sunny Peruvian." He said then he lay down on the bed and covered himself with the blanket.
I heaved a sigh.
It's alright he said, but for sure he won't be talking to me tomorrow if I don't fix this now.
Ugh. So this is what it's like to have a relationship with a childish man.
"You are better than them, Damon. You are way more handsome, talented, smart, you're better than them in any possible way so stop sulking there already." I said.
He didn't move. "I know you're just forcing yourself to say all of that."
"What? N-No, of course. I mean it, I swear to God."
God, I already want to sleep.
Why is my boyfriend so girly and childish?
"I don't believe you." He said.
"Then what should I do for you to believe me?"
I just want this to end just so I could already sleep.
Damon sat up and removed the blanket from him. "Kiss me."
"W-What?! Are you crazy?!"
Sunny's POV
Damon kept on glaring at me while we were having our breakfast. I bet he still can't get over about what happened last night when he asked me to kiss him. I didn't kiss him.
"Damon sweetheart, is that delicious?" mommy asked him.
His glare automatically turned into a huge smile when he looked at mom. "Yes, it's so delicious mommy! It's the most delicious of all."
"Really?! Thank you so much, I'm happy that you liked it!"
"Mom, you only cooked eggs, hotdogs, and hams. You didn't even put or did any special thing about them." I said.
"Shut up, you ungrateful child of mine. Damon is just a sweet child, he appreciates every little thing that I do. I'm so glad that I finally have you as my future son-in-law~"
They were both smiling at each other like idiots.
Looks like mom finally found her real son.
They are both over-dramatic.
"Bye mom, bye dad!" I just waved goodbye to them then we finally stepped inside Damon's car.
Damon hugged both of them first before following me.
"Are you happy that you were able to reunite with your real parents?" I teased him as soon as he entered his car.
"Don't talk to me." He said as he started the engine of his car. "I'm not going to talk to someone who doesn't even love me."
"Oh, so you're still not over it?"
He plugged his earphones in his ear and ignored me.
Sigh.
I wonder how long he can do that.
Oh, I forgot to call Seb about the new story that I want him to check. "Hello, Seb?"
"Sunny?"
"Yes, this is Sunny. It's about the new story that I want you to check."
"Huh? You have a new story? Again? You haven't finished writing the other one and now you're presenting me another story?"
I rolled my eyes. "Seb, that's how writers works, okay. I need you to check out this story or I'm going to be out of my mind."
I noticed that Damon finally pulled his earphones and glanced at me, obviously listening to my conversation with my editor.
"Okay, okay. Fine. I'm going to check that." Seb gave up.
"Thank you so much, Seb! By the way, when can I see you then?"
"On Saturday."
"Oh, okay. See you on Saturday."
"See you!"
I hang up the phone and I was surprised to see Damon staring at me. "Who are you going to meet on Sunday?"
"Oh, I thought you won't talk to me all day?"
"Just tell me who is it!"
"It's Seb. My editor. I want to present my new story to him so I need to meet him."
"Seb is a woman, right?"
I laughed. "Seb is a man, you silly! Hahaha!"
"What?! Then you shouldn't meet him without me!"
"Damon, I know Seb longer that I know you. We've been friends for years already and he's already married so there's no reason for you to be jealous."
"What if you end up falling in love with him?! What if you realize that you actually have feelings towards him?!"
I furrowed my brows at him as I prevented myself from laughing. "You know what? I think you have the potential to be a writer too. You have a wild imagination. Come on, Damon. I don't like older guys and I'm not planning to be a mistress! I'm even the godmother of his child!"
"I still don't trust him."
"I'm still meeting him anyway."
"Can you just stop being so stubborn even just for a while?" he suddenly said, obviously pissed off.
I looked at him. "And can you just stop being so paranoid and childish even for a day?"
"What did you say? I'm childish? I'm childish?!"
"Yes, you are. Look at you getting jealous over me meeting with my long-time friend. It's alright to be jealous sometimes, Damon. But please know the people you're getting jealous with. I know how you feel but sometimes it's annoying especially when there's really no reason for you to be jealous."
He didn't speak for a while. He just continue driving until we finally arrived in the university. "I'm going now." I said.
"Go on." He replied without looking at me.
"You're still mad at me, aren't you?" I asked him as I clutched my bag to my chest.
"It's alright now. You should go to your class now or you'll be late."
I leaned on the seat while looking at him. "Just tell me you're not mad at me anymore."
"Sunny, you need to go to your class now."
"Tell me you're not mad."
He looked at me with a serious face. "I'm not mad at you."
"Are you sure?"
He nodded. "Yes."
I cupped his cheeks and made him look at me. "You are the most handsome man I have ever seen in my entire life. I already said how much I love you so there's no need for you to doubt my love for you anymore."
"Just promise me that you'll call me once you go home."
"Yes, I will. Make sure to have some rest after your work, okay?"
"Okay!" he finally smiled.
