Chapter 24.

Dominic's POV.

Diana smiled and stretched out her hand to me for a handshake. "Congratulations Dominic. We just made a deal."

I wasn't sure if the deal could actually stop Chloe from pestering me, but I decided to test the water. "Okay, it's a deal then."

She nodded. "Yeah, I'm going to get the contract ready so we can finally seal the deal."

"Do we really need to sign a contract?"

I didn't expect her to propose a contract, I thought we had made the deal already.

"Yes, we have to sign a contract. It's not really a big issue, it's just for us to know the rules and regulations of the deal and to finalize the deal."

I patted my pants and nodded. "Alright."

She nodded. "Okay, before I get the contract ready, Let me know if there is anything you want me to include in the contract."

I bit my lips, thinking. I knew the deal wasn't a real relationship, so there was no way we could eventually fall in love with each other, but it would be better if I made it very clear. 

"Listen, I know this isn't real, but I still have to say this. You must not fall in love with me and once you do, the deal is over. I think that is something you should include in the contract."

Diana shook her head and chuckled. "You sounded so confident I was going to fall in love with you." She tilted her head and arched a brow at me. "What if you are the one who falls in love with me?"

I shook my head. "That's impossible. I'm already in love with someone else."

I was very sure I won't develop feelings for Diana since I have a woman I loved. My feelings for Annie weren't comparable to anything I've felt for other women. Diana was beautiful and looked very decent and prim, but I don't think I can ever love her the same way I loved Annie. 

Diana leaned forward looking a little curious. "Who is she? Chloe?" There was a hint of a joke in her voice.

I knew she was joking so I didn't say anything and took a sip of my drink. "No, her name is Annie, she's my best friend."

She leaned on her chair. "Oh, you sound like she broke your heart."

"I'm not heartbroken!"

Or was I.

I've been in love with Annie for over ten years and she has never considered me as something more than just a friend. I didn't want to expect the truth, but I knew she doesn't love me in any romantic ways. And for years I've been trying to suppress my feelings towards her so as not to make her want to distance herself from me. 

Diana rolled her eyes and raised up her hands in a defensive way. "Okay, don't bite me. I'm just stating the obvious."

I ignored her and continued to eat my meal. Was it really so obvious that I was going through heartbreaks?

"Do you have any other thing you want to add aside from the 'don't fall in love with me' rule." She asked, mimicking my statement.

I stopped eating and looked at her. "Yes. I don't want any form of PDA. I don't want Annie to assume I was actually dating you."

She blinked at me like I just said the stupidest thing on earth. "How will I convince my Ex I was in a relationship if we can't have any PDA?"

I shrugged. "We can just say sweet words to each other or something like that."

She shook her head and crossed her hands across her chest. "You are unbelievable."

"Why?"

"Why? It is very clear that it isn't going to work!" 

She rubbed her hair and sighed.  "Think about it, how will you convince Chloe that you are really dating me if you can't even hold my hands in public?"

"I don't know, when the time comes we will work it out."
