Chapter 3
Devin's POV
I walk downstairs happy that the jubilee was a success. But she was still on my mind. And I wondered how someone could love looking at the floor, and depriving us of the beauty of her eyes.
I meet my parents downstairs at the dining table, which is already being served breakfast. I sat with them.
"So son, people are asking when you will get married. You know marriage is essential in the business world". My dad said, voice filled with expectations.
Again with this marriage bullshit.
"Soon, dad, soon". I said, looking at my mom who gave me warning glanced that had my eyes rolling.
"Well, if you don't have any person in mind, the Zesina family has a very beautiful daughter. And if we could…." . He didn't finish.
"Dad, for once, can I have breakfast in peace?". I asked, gripping the utensils tightly.
"How dare you interrupt me?. Tomorrow you are having a dinner meeting with her. Name's Velvet". He said, with a tone of finality, and stood up, looked around the table one more time and left.
I dropped my utensils with resounding sounds, looking at my mom with heated gaze.
"Calm down, son. Hmm?". She looked at me, the tender look in her out of pity, softened me.
I stood up, walked to her and kissed her forehead.
I went to my car on the way to the hospital. My family doesn't know this but right from teenage age, I never had an erection with any random lady.
No one had been able to give me a hard on, both male and female.
I got to the hospital and met my doctor.
"Mr. Klein. Nice to meet you. What brings you by?". Dr. Bhyeli asked as he adjusted his glasses.
"Well, nice to meet you too, doctor. Anything we discuss here, stays here". I told him, sternly.
And this somehow got him to be serious.
"What is the matter?". He asked, looking at me in all seriousness.
"I have never had an erection". I told him, straight to the point.
His eyes widened. Although he quickly tried to cover his shocked expression by blinking severally.
"Erm, Mr. Klein are you sure of this?". He said me, clearly his throat and stammering.
"Yes, Doctor. So what is the problem?". I asked him in a matter of factly tone.
"Erm, well your case is highly rare. We would run some test". He said and stood up, leading me to the lab.
They took my blood sample and did an X-ray. Still don't know why, but he's the doctor.
After ten minutes of waiting in his office, the results came out.
"Erm, Mr. Klein. You are medically okay". He said, eyes trained on the computer like he was looking for a detail to prove him wrong.
I sat there, legs shaking.
"So?". I asked him again.
His eyes left his screen and looked at me, studying me for sometime.
I looked at him too, scrunching my eyebrows, not liking the intense stare that I couldn't get any expression from.
"With the results showing you are medically okay. Then I suggest, it's more of the psychological?". He said, looking for something.
I sat there, with arched eyebrows, confusion getting the best of me.
"Well, according to sex psychology, you might be demisexual". He said, glancing between his book and me.
"Meaning?". I asked, my eyes scrunching up.
"Meaning, you are attracted to someone you are emotionally bound to". He said, closing his book, his eyes dashed to my face as he saw me squinting my eyes.
"Meaning, you will only feel aroused around someone you connect deeply to emotionally". He explained further, after seeing the feeling of confusion, evidently on my face.
I looked at him for sometime, gave a curt nod and stood up.
"Remember, between us". I said and left.
Demisexual?.
What the freaking hell is that?
I drove back to the company, thinking on how I will be connected to someone emotionally when all my father cares about is business.
But if I'm demisexual, the baby wasn't mine. So whose was it?.
My head started spinning, as I tried to sort out this new information. The checkup leaving me more confused than ever.
I got to the office and as usual piles of files were on my desk. Today will be busy.
I got down to work, signing and rearranging files. And before I knew it, it was already evening.
But my mind wandered back to that day, that incident that had me confused and sympathetic to my mother.
Was Kyla really pregnant for me?. I never had an erection with her or did I and I couldn't remember?.
I breathed out heavily and tried refocusing on my work. My mind threatening to go back to thinking but the files on my table not letting it.
Soon there was a knock on my door.
"Come in". I breathed out, and closed my eyes, massaging my temples.
"Brother". I heard my sister's voice sing through.
No fucking way.
"Sophie, what the hell are you doing here?". I asked her, bringing out my sleepy eyes to show how tired I am.
"Oh c'mon. Be enthusiastic. Well, we are having dinner together". She said and sat down, getting comfortable.
"No, we are not." I said, looking at her sternly.
I knew my sister, before we go to eat, there is a possibility we would visit the entire boutique in the whole of Austria.
"C'mon. It will be the restaurant and then home, deal?". She asked, looking at me hopefully.
"Fine". I said, raising my hand in surrender. This earned me a squeal.
I cleared my desk and soon we were on our way to eat.
"Where are we eating?." I asked her.
"Grilled house". She said.
"Grilled house? Is that not the eatery from the jubilee?". I asked her.
"Yep. I love their finger food so much. So nice". She said and we were arriving at the driveway.
We got down and went in.
"Good evening, may I…?". She looked at me like she was saying 'what the hell?'.
I smirked.
"Well nice to see you again….". I paused, looking at her name tag, "Laurina". I said, smirking.
She swallowed and as usual, eyes went to the floor.
Wonder what is so fascinating about the floor, she's always staring at it.
I turned to look at my sister that had this 'you will tell me everything later' look.
"Well, Laurina, I would love stuffed mushrooms and sliders, with a glass of orange juice". I said looking at her.
And I got the reaction I wanted.
She looked at me with anger and annoyance, gripping her own tightly, when she caught up on my games, and I just smirked.
My sister ordered and she bowed her left, her face red from embarrassment.
I just chuckled and watch her go. She was beautiful.
"Devin is in love". My sister said, wiggling her eyebrows.
"Don't fuck with me". I said, not sparing her another look.
"She is pretty, like sexy pretty and cute too". My sister said, looking in the direction she left.
"I know". I whispered, looking in the same direction, only to see her approaching us.
When her beautiful gray eyes met mine, she looked down quickly.
"You're food will be here in five minutes". She said and bowed and left.
She went to the table in front of us. I watched her, there was something about how she did her things.
I was mesmerized.
My sister brought out a talk and although I was interacting with her, my eyes never left Laurina, occasionally she would glance at me and when she glanced at me the third time, her gaze was laced with disgust and annoyance.
What did I do?. I didn't ask you to be pretty.
"Stop staring at her. You'll chase her away". My sister said, sipping on her drink.
When did it get here?.
"You won't know when you put all your attention on her. Lover boy". She said eating her meal.
"Eat quickly. I'm tired". I said, giving her a scowl.
We both ate and went home.
"Mom, dad, we are home". Sophie announced. I just rolled my eyes.
"Must you announce?". I asked her, irritated.
"Oh c'mon. Let me enjoy my youth". She said, giggling.
"Whatever, see you tomorrow, Soph". I said and went upstairs.
I quickly showered and before I let sleep overtake me.
I thought of her. Why does she love staring at the floor?. And she was cute when she was embarrassed.
And with this thought I fell asleep smiling and wanting to meet her again.
