Chapter 80

Miguel's pov

I stood up from seat I was sitting on, and cautiously walked towards Damien who have his back turned towards us, his whole profile hunched.

 Standing there for a moment without knowing what to do, I fidgeted under the gaze from the two of them, and the coldness I feel emenating from the male in front of me.

"Do you need anything?" his cold voice brought me out of thought land.

Without much thoughts to what am about to do, I hugged his back as tightly as my body can allow.

"You're one of the best things that have happened to me since I came to this godforsaken place, and the other two being your brothers. Who would have fed me had it not being for you?"

I thought my words lies, but oddly it's the truth, the three of them are the best things to ever happen to me.

At first he froze at my contact with his body, but gradually he relaxed.

"You're the best thing to ever happen to me since my existence." he turned, and locked eyes with me. " Am glad I got to cook for you."

With his blue eyes locked with my brown, I swear the world stood still, it was just the two of us in the entire universe.

"Guys can we eat now?" Daniel  broke the spell around us "you two looks like you're one step from devouring each other, and we can't have that unless our stomach's full."

Donald chuckles " you mean we can only have that after you're fed?" he raises a brow at Daniel.

Shrugging Daniel smiles " am always game of he is.'

With cheeks blazing hot when I got the gist of what they're talking about, I returned back to my chair beside the mischievous Donald.

"You're really beautiful when you're flushed," he lightly   pinched my cheeks "you're  more than adorable." 

I roll my eyes despite the redness of both my cheeks and neck.

"if you think flattery will get you what you want, then you're in for a surprise."

He smirks " and what exactly do you think I want?" he still have that mischievous look on his face.

"If I tell you, I will have to murder you." I smile coyly.

"I will gladly die if you're the one murdering me; it will be so damn romantic," he winks.

" You're impossible" I huff.

" only for you baby, only for you."he smiles.

" Food is ready, my lazy chaps, and dear lovely mate, enjoy!"

Damien dished out all of foods, making sure to give me an extra with a wink

" you should be treated like a princess, you deserve it."

" We're supposed to eat more than him since we're to protect him!" Daniel frowned at Damiem "  you're trying to get his love," he  accused a smug looking Damien.

" Who says we can't compete for that? am always up for a competition,"  Donald's voice perks up.

" Chill man,"  Damien gives him a bored look "we're  not in school right now, and there's no need competing for the attention of our mate. "

" And who says I don't want to watch you three compete?" I  smile coyly "  the first to actually get me to swoon will take me out on our first official date."

I know am evil, trying to get the already competitive triplets to compete among themselves, but I want to see the fun of that, and equally enough time to actually get used to them being non human.

"I'll give you three a month to prepare whatever it is you want to, and within the month, there will be no intimate conversation between us. And on no reason should you be at my house." I relaxed on the chair as I guaged their reactions to my words.

"Wait let me get this right, you ,"  he points at me  "wants I and my brothers to compete, and whosoever wins will be awarded the first date with you?"

I nod "that's right Donald, the winner gets to have the first date with me." 

Damien looks lost in thoughts, same with Daniel who have stopped eating.

" What exactly is the contest about?"

" It depends, you can do anything you set your heart to, all I want is the person who will swoon me more with a romantic gesture of a sort. "

Ha, never in my wildest imaginations have I imagined a setting like this. Asking three guys to compete for my attention.

Looking at how silent they've become, I thought they're not in agreement with my idea.

What if they don't agree to it? what if they think it's a dumb idea?

Damien nods after sometime "we agree to the contest. When are we to start the preparation?"

"It starts the moment you take me home, which will be after breakfast."

Against all they've told me about my parents being safe and all, I won't really believe that until I see my parents whole and sound.

*

Breakfast went by faster than I would have liked, it isn't filled with the normal banter between the three brother.

Each one of the looks lost in thoughts, none making any move to talk at all.

"We will see you in school," Damien  says the moment I stepped out of the car.

"Take care Miguel," Donald  waves.

"See you in school!" Daniel's voice's the last I heard when I banged the door to my house close.

Mom nearly tackled me to the floor when I entered into the parlour.

"oh my gods!" Mom fanned herself "my son is all grown up, spending the night at his boyfriends' home."

" Mom!" I whined at her words " you're making me embarrassed!"

I can't believe I was dead worried about someone who was capable of making me blush from embarrassment. 

" Oh come on, a mother can only endure much loneliness in a house like this. Am bored," she pouts.

" I thought you went on a date with Dad?"

" Oh that?" she smiles with a dreamy look on her face " the dinner was alright, the thing that happened after it more than what I expected. Your dad was too good... "

I covered her mouth with my palm " I don't need too much information on how my parents are getting at it,"  I faked a gag.
