The next day was a Saturday, weekend, and Rosa knew exactly where to find him…In his penthouse, she remembered he had mentioned how he liked staying indoors during the weekend.As she got ready in front of the mirror, all Rosa could think was how she would not give him the satisfaction of disrespecting her and indirectly labeling her a gold digger, which she kind of was but still.“You know you don't have to do this, right?” Storm, who had been watching her all along, asked.“Why not?” Rosa asked a questioning look on her face, sometimes it was hard for her to understand her best friend. “The money he sent last night, Rosa, that was a lot,” Storm said emphasizing the last part of that sentence.“So?” Rosa asked indignantly, not seeming to see or understand what her friend was seeing.“So? It's enough to take care of you and the unborn baby, heck, you can just get rid of it like you initially wanted to and make good with that amount.” Storm advised. “And let him win? Let him have the
Damon went back to stirring his pasta sauce, turning the heat a little back up before pouring the pasta into the pan. Smiling at his amazing creation, he let the pasta in the sauce for a few more minutes, while he cleaned up the kitchen. He'd hoped to spend the weekend doing his favorite things and just basking in the peace while enjoying the amazing view from his penthouse which oversaw the city, until Rosa had disrupted that for him.His phone pinged with a notification, he had dropped it on the island not planning on indulging himself with it, Part of his weekend routine was devoting more time to himself and less to work and social media. Damon knew that his phone going off with messages could only mean one thing…work. And he wasn't ready to deal. Dishing his meal onto a plate and pouring a glass of wine, Damon settled in front of the television to enjoy his meal, still ignoring his phone which continued to ping seeming to be flooding with messages all of a sudden.Damon moaned
“Rosa, what the fuck!!” Storm yelled, immediately Rosa got in the house, she seemed as if she had been waiting for her to come back to get that off her chest.“Easy tiger,” Rosa said nonchalantly, hanging up her coat and walking into the house.“What the fuck was that? That could ruin him, and Walter's tech company as a whole." Storm whines, a genuinely concerned look on her face.“Look storm I told you I was going to go public did I not? I just did what I said I was going to do.” Rosa said with a shrug, walking into the bathroom to freshen up. “I don't think this is right Rosa,” Storm said, following her to the door of the bathroom. “I think you should take it down, take the video down, say it was a mistake or something.” Storm insisted.“Maybe it isn't right, it doesn't have to be right. I never said it was and no, I'm not taking that video down.” Rosa said, taking a face wipe and stripping her skin of sweat and concealer.She did not look up from her reflection, but she felt Storm
Damon was still a hot topic the next day, not as trendy as he was the first day, but still enough to be talked about. The trolls were still rolling in, and they were not relenting or even trying to. Tapping his pen rhythmically on the table, Damon sighed as he glanced at the clock again. He remembered telling her 11 am, but it was almost half an hour later, and she still had not shown up. Perhaps she had changed her mind and taken her bastard child somewhere else. Damon had made his lawyer draw up an official agreement, one that would protect him, his assets, and his company.What happened with Ava would not be happening again.His doorbell rang, drawing him out of his train of thought, Damon hated how stressed this issue was making him, and he could not wait to be done with it all.Trudging lazily to the door, Damon swung it open and was greeted by her scent first, vanilla, with a hint of coconut. He remembered how he had been amazed by it that first night, wondering how he never i
“So what? Does he just expect you to move in? Just like that?” Storm looked perplexed “Are you sure you heard him right?” She asked further, clearly not convinced that Damon had decided to take responsibility.“Yes, Storm I heard him right.” Rosa said rolling her eyes," I told you all I had to do was go public, these rich people hate when they are trending for the wrong reasons." “Wow.” Storm managed, pouring a glass of wine for herself and some apple juice for Rosa.“Yeah, wow,” Rosa said sarcastically. “I don't even know how I feel about all this anymore,” Rosa added, taking the glass from Storm and downing it in one gulp. Her heart sank a little when she realized she meant those words, yes she had initially wanted this but now, maybe it wasn’t all that. She had no idea how she felt if she wanted this…staying with him…she had hoped for his cooperation and nothing more, but it seemed things were getting pretty real now.“Hey,” Storm said comfortingly, taking a seat beside her on
Rosa heaved a sigh of relief as the groaning man rolled off her body. His sweat dropped directly into her eyes as he struggled off her, making her squint enough to see a quirky perverted but satisfied smile plastered on his lips.She watched him wink at her, clicking his tongue as he adjusted his draws which he had pulled just below his knee, throwing his trousers on, and he was gone before she could say jack.She did not even know his name, he was yet again one of her many nightly picks, safe to say he was one of the worsts she had picked yet. Reaching for her pack of cigarettes beside the pillow, Rosa tossed a stick in between her lips, holding the duvet close to her chest to shield her naked body as she searched for her lighter on the nightstand.A satisfied sigh left her lips this time as she drew in the smoke and puffed, lulling her head back to rest on the headboard.When would it end, was all she could think about, how would she stop, why was it always the same thing, why was
The ride to the club was long, Storm had mentioned that before they left, but it was just dawning on Rosa how far it was when they were thirty minutes into the trip and still not at their destination.A gasp left her lips as Storm took a turn into Fifth Avenue and she took in the environment, they’d since left downtown and their crappy neighborhood. She knew this because she had had one or two flings with men from here, but each time she was blown away by the beauty and wealth that this place elicited.“Wow,” Rosa voiced when Storm came to a halt in front of what looked like a multimillion-dollar mansion instead of a club.“Are you sure we are at the right place?” Rosa asked jokingly, a smile plastered on her face as she took the sight in.“Best believe, here,” Storm said with a smile, handing her an access card. They walked in hand, presenting their cards at the entrance and walked in. If she had been blown away by the exterior, Rosa did not have words to describe how she felt about
Rosa giggled like a tipsy teenager, it was the most fun she had had in a long time, and with a man too. They'd gotten to know each other over cocktails and sweaty bodies on the dance floor.And now as they sat sipping wine in his living room, his shirt three buttons down and his arms flexing seductively under his sleeves as he sipped from his glass, Rosa could not help but feel even more attracted to him.Unlike other men she had met in the past, he was not eager to be with her, sexually that is. His eyes did not look at her with lust, they gazed upon her like one would at their favorite thing. He seemed to genuinely enjoy her company, and it made her have mixed feelings.Was he that interested in the conversation and her company, or was he just not attracted to her enough to want to sleep with her? Or perhaps all he needed was a prompt, a little push in the direction.Their eyes met and Rosa knew it was the perfect moment, casting him her most sultry look, Rosa watched as he melted
