His Baby’s Mama

CAMILA’S POV

I groaned, slowly opening my eyes to meet with the hot sun, shinning through the window, causing me to shut them again. Reopening them, I let it adjust to the light before my eyes immediately went on, scanning the room. I was laying on the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on and the room look quite familiar too. I think it belongs to Damon’s. Ah, speaking of Damon, I couldn’t help but get angry when last night’s event replayed in my head.

I had a fuzzy memories since I didn’t remember anything before my world went black but I do remember some of the things that I talked to him about. I still cant believe he refused to believe me! Have he really thought of me as a person that will abandon– My thoughts were interrupted with the door opening and I looked to it, only to see Damon entering with a tray of food in his hands. His eyes instantly met mine and he let out a breath, making his way towards me.

“You’re finally awake” I heard him mumbled as he rest the tray of food beside the table next to his bed then walked over and sat on a chair, which was placed right in front his bed.

“How do you feel?” He asked, Worries appeared in his eyes and Ijust decided to ignore him. Seeing that I was ignoring him, he let out a breath, standing to his feet before speaking.

“I’ll go get the doctor” and I watched as he turned around and walked towards the door and left.

{Few minutes later}

I was in a daze when the door was suddenly opened, bring me back to earth. Looking up, I saw Damon entering the room along with a male doctor behind him.

“Hello Mrs. Alexander, I’m Dr. Woods and’m here to check on you. how do you feel?” Then male doctor first introduced him self then asked as soon as he stood beside me and my eyes widen when he addressed me as a married woman, using Damon’s last name.

“I I’m okay” I said, looking down to the floor. I really don’t get it why people keep mistaking me for Damon’s wife. It’s not like we even look like a good couple too. You see, he’s well more.. attractive and I think a model would suit him better.

“Mrs. Alexander!” Wait, why am I even thinking about him? Ugh! I think I need some sleep or something.

“Mrs. Alexander! Mrs. Alexander!”

“Huh?” I asked, with a frown on my face as a voice pulled me out from my daze.

“Oh as I was saying, you dont look good at all but that’s nothing a whole day rest can’t fix and I promise you you’ll be back to yourself after that” he said and I just nodded my head. “Oh and I’ve left some medicine with your husband for you to take and Ive already spoke to him to help you. You’re still weak after fainting due to consuming too much alcohol, so you’l be needing help from you husband but don’t worry, if you rest well enough, you’ll recover by tomorrow” he said to me while writing on a clip board and I nodded my head again but wanting to scream at him for addressing me as Damon’s wife.

“Then.. I better leave you to rest. I’ll come check on you another time” He said then bid his goodbyes and I watched as he walked out of the room, shutting the door as he leave. Silence filled the room.

I sigh, not feeling comfortable being in the same room as Damon, especially in his room and when I felt his gaze on my face, I didn’t thinki could be around him anymore so I pull the duvet off of me, about to get up when I felt a hand stopping me from doing so.

“No, don’t get up. You’re still weak so ir’s better for you to stay and rest” He spoke after and I inwardly rolled my eyes at him.

“Then can’t I move to my room? I don’t–”

RING RING

I was cut off mid-sentence when the ringing of Damon’s phone was heard. I watched as he took it out of his phone and his eyes suddenly widen as he looked at the screen.

“What is it?” I asked with a frown on my face.

“It’s Ethan” he respond and I panic suddenly came over me. I quickly sat up, trying to brush my hair back and cleared my throat hoping that he can’t see that I’m not well.

“Answer it” I said to him and he nodded his head before answering Ethan’s call

“Hi daddy!” Was the first thing I heard over the phone and a smile made its way to my lips. I haven’t gotten a chance to speak to him last night since I was out so it feels nice to hear him.

“HI Ethan, how are you liking your time at your grandparents house?” Damon greeted him then went on to ask.

“Well I’m liking it here but I really miss you and Ms. Davis. Dad, Mommy didn’t answer my call last night. Is she okay” He asked about me and I felt my heart clench. I felt guilty for not answering his calls.

“Oh uh.. She’s here right now, would you like to talk–”

“Yes!” He shouted before Damon could’ve even complete his sentence and Damon chuckled, saying an’okay’before handing his phone to me. Ethan’s face was the first thing I saw when he handed me the phone and I smile as he spoke.

“Ms Davis! Are you okay? Why didn’t you answer my call?”

“Oh Ethan, mommy’s so sorry! I didn’t hear when you call. I .. I fell asleep” I lied. I couldn’t tell him that I went out and came back drunk then had a fight with his father, can I? But I still felt guilty. I know I shouldn’t have lied to him but I just don’t want him to be sad, knowing that his father and I had a fight.

“Will you forgive mommy?” “of course I will! I love you mom!” He said and I smile again then blew a kiss over the phone, to him.

“I love you too Ethan” We went on chatting for a while and I think Ethan notice that my face was pale and i had to lie again to him, saying I was okay so he won’t be worried about me. I felt guilty again.

Our conversation went on though, we talked about missing each other and fun stuff that we used to do when he was here. We talked so much that I didn’t know so much time had pass by but I didn’t care, I love Ethan and would give him all of my time if I could.

“Ms. Davis?”

“Yes Ethan?”

“Um can you do me a favor?” He hesitantly spoke and I smile already know I wouldn’t think twice before saying yes.

“Of course. What is it?”

“Ummm.. Can you .. attend the party with my dad?” He asked and I frowned in confusion. Party?

“Party? What Party Ethan?” I asked confused and shift my gaze to Damon who was looking at the phone then at me with a sort of shock expression.

“Oh the one Daddy’s attending the day after tomorrow. I usually go with him but since I’m not around this time, I want you to go in my place. Will you go?” He responded to my question then asked, tilting his head as usual as he waited for my reply and my mind instantly went to thinking. Should I go? I mean I really don’t want to see him sad but I don’t think I want to be anywhere around Damon and going to a party with him? I don’t think so. BUT I can’t stand to see Ethan sad and I just knew I can’t refuse anything he ask me to do. So sighing, I ran my fingers through my hair before hesitantly replying.

“Yes.. I’ll go”

{The next Day}

“Okay, now close your eyes” Bianca said and I did as I was told. It was in the afternoon, a few hours before the party began and I was getting ready to leave, with the help of Bianca. He was currently doing my make up so I was sitting at the vanity while he took his time to do a full face make up.

“Now I’m gonna contour your face.” He went on, announcing the steps as he went on doing my make up and I closed my eyes while he contour my face. I still couldn’t believe I was attending a party with Damon. Right now I’m very nervous and can’t stop thinking about the party.

Are the people there arrogant? Will they see me as a cheapskate? Will they hate me? I couldn’t stop my brain from thinking all those thoughts. I mean, I’m attending a party filled with rich business men and woman, who I can’t be compared to, so I couldn’t help but think what will they think of me? And will Damon get angry if I embarrassed him? Will they even noticed that Ethan and I resembles?

“And finally your lipstick” I hope I don’t do anything to embarrass myself or Damon. I just hope everything goes well.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“And we’re done” Bianca concluded and I removed the cloth that I put to protect my dress from getting stained, by makeup, and stood up, walking towards the mirror. My mouth dropped opened as I started at myself, refusing to believe that this is me. It can’t be.

“Damn, you look smoking hot!” A voice said and I turned to my left to see Bianca walking toward me. He stopped in front of the mirror, looking at my dress and a smile made its way to my face. I never knew he was this talented.

“Thank you” I say, stretching my hands out to hug him and he hugged me back. Pulling away, I sat on my bed and with the help of Bianca, I. was able to strap my heels.

“Now are you ready?” He asked, standing to his feet and I nodded my head before standing on my feet.

Walking to the door, I give him a thumb up before opening it and stepped out side with him following from behind.

I walked down the hall and to the stairs, taking my time as I went down but stopped mid way when I saw Damon waiting me with in front of the stairs. He was looking at the time on his watch as if he was going to be late if I don’t come down and I guess he didn’t notice I was standing there. So clearing my throat, made me got his attention. He looked up at me, his eyes going to my dress then to my face as he stared at me with an open mouth and I felt a little insecure once again.
