His Baby Mama

CAMILA’S POV

I sigh for the tenth time for today, running a finger through my hair. It’s been one hour now since I got the phone call from my ex best friend and I don’t know what the hell to do.

I’ve been trying to come to a decision on whether to tell Damon or not and so far, I can’t bring myself to decide. I was too scared. I mean if I tell Damon then Ethan might get hurt and if I don’t tell Damon then Ethan won’t be hurt but Damon might get angry at me cause I didn’t tell him. I seriously don’t know what to do. Should I tell him?

I bit my lips, looking down to the floor. I was currently in Damon’s bedroom, slumped to the ground. I was waiting on him as usual but he usually be home by now so I was a bit confused of why he wasn’t home as yet but then got a phone call from him, while I was putting Ethan tobed. He told me he’ll be home a litle late tonight and I understood and was a little relieved cause I have a little more time to come to a decision and I thinkI know what I’ll do .. I’m not gonna tell him.

Ethan’s safety and life is very important and I can’t take the risk to tell him cause then something might happen to Ethan and I don’t want anything to happen to him. I guess I’ll just have to keep my mouth shut and pretend to be okay and as if I’m not scared cause deep down inside I am.

I got up from the floor and made my way to the bed where I sat down and just stared at the door and for some stupid reason. I still couldn’t get the thought, that I’ll be hiding a secret from Damon that he needs to know, out of my head but .. I can’t tell him. I just cant. ljust can’t lose Ethan again. Everything will be better this way. He’ll never know and Ethan won’t get hurt. Yes, everything will be better this way.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Babe? Are you in here?” Damon’s voice was suddenly heard and I shot my head to the door where l say it slowly opening and in came Damon. l immediately switch from my sad, frustrated expression to a happy, normal one and hoped that he didn’t notice that I was only pretending.

“Hi” I smiled as he came over to me and smack my lips. He then proceed to take his shoes off then discard his shirt and pants.

“I miss you so much” he said, stepping onto the bed then planted his lips into mine and I kissed him back. The kiss only lasted for a few seconds before he pulled away and pulled me into his arms with a smile which I returned but even though I tired to act like I was okay, I don’t think I was good at doing so cause a frown made its way to Damon’s face as he now cupped mine.

“Are you okay?” He asked, his voice flled with concern and I looked down, nodding my head but I don’t think he believed me at all.

“You’re lying” he said, lifting my head so my eyes could meet his and I tired to look away cause I knew if he looked into my eyes, he could tell if I was lying or not.

“I’m not lying” I lied as I continued to avoid his eyes and heard him sigh.

“You don’t have to lie Babe. I can clearly see that you’re lying. So tell me, did someone did something to you?” I bit my lips again, trying to decide what to say. Should I really hide this from him?

“Camila” he called my name, waiting for an answer while trying to make my eyes reach his again. A lot of thoughts were running through my head by now and I seriously didn’t know whether to lie or not but I continued to try and think what is the right thing to do and whether or not I’ll be risking Ethan’s life.

“Camila look at me” he said in a soft pleading tone and I inwardly sigh, lifting my eyes to meet his. “Did someone did something to you?”

I tried to keep the tears in and not say anything but after he had repeated his question, I couldn’t do this anymore.

“Camila.” he called my name once more and at the same time a tear escape my eyes. I bit my lips harder, trying not to cry but I couldn’t.

A sob left my lips and I buried my head into his chest, crying my eyes out while he held me and guilt washed over me. I cant lie to him. I love him, I cant keep this away from him when he deserve to know. Even if Ethan can be in danger because of this, he needs to know. He’s Ethan’s father after all I just hope he can keep Ethan safe. I continued to cry while he drew small circles on my back and whispered comforting words to me which made me feel better and after a while, I pulled away, making up my mind to tell him

“I’m sorry” I whispered and he cupped my face with a confused look on his face.

“And why are you apologizing?” He asked and I dried my eyes, feeling guilt wash over me even more.

“For not telling you right away, something that you deserve to know.”

“And what is that?” He asked, still confused and eyes began to tear up again.

“S-She threatened me. She said she’ll hurt Ethan if I didn’t tell you to stop the investigation.” I cried and his confused expression was replaced with an angry one but there was still a little confused expression in his eyes.

“Who are you talking about?”

“The woman who stole Ethan from me. She is my ex best friend Anita” I replied and saw his jaw clenched even more. He looked angry, very angry and I think he’s angry at me ..”Damon I’m sorry, I should have told you immediately when you came home. I was scared, I didn’t want anything to happen to Ethan but that was wrong of me. I shouldn’t have even plan on keeping it from you. You deserve to know and you you can get angry at me. I-”

“What are you talking about?” He cut me off with a confused look on his face again.

“Aren’t you angry at me for not telling you right away?” He sigh, laying me down with him and pulled me into his chest before speaking,

“No Camila, I’m not angry at you, I’m angry at that woman who think she can come and mess with my family and I’m actually happy that you’ve decided to tell me and not hide it from me.”

“Really?” I asked, a little surprised. I thought he’d actually be angry at me ..

“Yes and don’t worry I’ll keep Ethan safe, I promise.” He answered then said and sigh in relief.

“Thank you Damon. I seriously don’t knew what I’d do without you” I said kissing his neck and he pulled away to me to meet my eyes.

“I love you Camila and will do anything to protect you and Ethan. Even if I have to get hurt in doing so. I just want you to know I’ll always be here for your guys and just want you to know this so you don’t have to keep anything from me. Please, don’t ever keep anything from me, okay?” He asked and I nodded my head before replying with a yes. “Good, now sleep. It’s getting late and I don’t want you to have dark circles” he said, pulling me into his chest once more and I sigh in satisfaction, inhaling his scent that I love a lot.

“I love you” he said, kissing my forehead and you guys may not know but I’ve never told Damon I love him yet cause I was trying to figure out if it was like or love but now I’m One hindered percent sure I’m in love with this man.

“I love you too” I whispered quietly.
