Chapter 69: The plans 
Romel’s POV

“Yes, put it down there”, I said pointing at a table to my maid who I had sent to bring out my laptop.

She placed the laptop on the table and left the room.

I returned my focus back to the movie I was watching before she arrived.

I felt something vibrate against my thigh but I ignored it but it became persistent,my hands flew to the couch where I had my thigh and I realized it was my phone that had been vibrating…

“uhgh!”, I groaned, turning the screen on, it was an unsaved number.

I scoffed and as I was about to drop the phone when the call came in again.

I swiped the phone screen,answering the call.

“Hello, Good morning,my name is Raphael Jonson from Skylight water park. I want to speak with Mr.Romel.”,the deep voice said from the other side.

“Oh, yes you are speaking with the right person.”, I said, already knowing why he called.

“Alright sir, I got a report that you bought the park for a day which was two days ago but you did not show throughout the day, I'm calling to check up on you and see if everything is fine.”, He said.

“Thank you , yes everything is fine, I just had a change of mind, the person I'm supposed to come with kind of disappointed me so I changed my mind.” , I said,standing up and walking to the basement of my apartment.

“Alright, according to the rules of the company, we will only be able to do a forty percent refund sir.”, I rolled my eyes at his statement.

“I'm not interested in the refund, keep the money, after all I didn't allow you guys to open for the day.”

“Oh, alright sir, thank you and have a nice day.”

“You're welcome ,bye.” I ended the call and my eyes wandered on the bright cars lined in the street, the sun was fully out and its golden ray made the cars shone brightly like diamonds against a light.

I've even forgotten I bought the park for the day.

I had actually paid for the park for me and Damien, we usually visit the park for fun but I guess he forgot , of course he did.

Damien has got a lot of things on his mind lately and most times I feel a pang of pity for him but it's his fault anyway. 

Instead of him admitting to his feelings and getting Anneliese back, he's been a stubborn cow.

He loves Anneliese, even a blind man can see it and I'm so sure he knows it himself.

Yes, I know he misses Claudia, he loved her so much before she passed on but that doesn't mean he is going to spend all his lifetime sulking into the dark moments of the past, though I know he's hurt, the death of Claudia caused his a lot of pain that made him went in and out of hospitals over and over again and he is trying so hard to guard his heart but I think it is time he give love a second chance and luckily for him , he had a good lady with him, even though I do not really know her , but I know Anneliese is a very good woman who would never hurt him or his feelings and I'm still very upset at him for filling the divorce papers.

Yes I know I shouldn't be very much concerned about his decision, it's his life after all,right? But Damien is more than a Best friend to me, he is now my brother, we have been together since we were little, our families were close as well, we wear the same clothes , shared toys , played games, hang out together and even shared pains together and it's hard seeing him this way.

Damien might not notice this himsekf but I can see it, he was fucking falling apart.

The Damien I knew before his marriage to Anneliese was calm, cold with outsiders but when we were together, he was usually a funny shit, we laughed, talked and played games till our fingers hurt, his business was his greatest priority.

And the Damien I knew during his marriage to Anneliese was….more on the warm side, there are times he smile to people, things he never does before, he talks more and he was a bit protective and according to the incident he told me happened during his stay with her at the safe house showed that he was letting out inner child out slowly and all this showed that he was so fucking in love.

The Damien I knew after the divorce is a raged motherfucking idiot.

He gets angry at almost everything and barks when he gets the chance, he has become so gentle as well and he always looked like he was missing a part of him or uncomfortable, he had become more reserved and seriously I don't like this.

I love his brighter side and not the gloomy devil that would pick up fights with his best friend! 

I went to his place two days ago with the hope of trying to get him out of his dark mood and that's why I bought the water park for the day so we can have it all to ourselves but I met Belinda and that made me hate Damien.

Like who the fuck bangs his ex-wife after divorce? 

And I don't blame him, I blame that dirty slut, Belinda, why would go after the man she is supposed to hate for divorcing her best friend.

I still can't recover from the shock.

It's just so obvious Damien is in love with Anne, I'm so sure Belinda sees it as well.

The look in his eyes when I said I loved Anneliese was that of jealousy, extreme one which almost made me laugh but I had to keep up with the act, there is no way I can love my best friend's woman, I'm not Belinda, I just needed something to help me prove my point and it worked, the look in his eyes said it all.

And I swear if those eyes could kill, I would have been 50 feet under the ground right now.

I walked to the drawer at the corner of my room and I pulled out the cardboard there…The cardboard had the plans—my plans to help Anneliese and Damien get back.

No one paid me for this or asked me to do it but I can't stand watching my best friend suffer again, even though he is being a dickhead right now, it's still my right to help him..

The first step was ‘Confirming Damien is in love with Anne' . I marked it with a green marker.

I confirmed already and it's right , so now to step two which was ‘Getting closer to Anneliese.’

I know this step is going to be so hard because according to Damien, Anne is so stubborn and it will be hard to even be her friend , talk more of trying to make her see Damien's good side.

This step is probably going to make Damien hate me more but I hope to get successful so he will see the reason behind all this.
