CHAPTER 6

Daisy's POV

I woke up feeling nauseated and in a bad mood. I was unhappy because Maria was living that day and because I had sex with him again.

My vacation with dad was the next day and I wasn't prepared.

"You had sex with him again", my subconscious mocked.

"Oh Goodness!" I mentally slapped myself. I still did not know his name and I didn't bother to ask.

I remembered Stanley called his name but I couldn't recall if it was Daniel or something else. I touched my private part and I realized there was little pain unlike the first. He was completely gentle and he kept calling my name as we made love.

The nauseation was back and I quickly rushed to the bathroom. I puked till there was nothing left inside of me. I rinsed my mouth and came out of the bathroom to meet aunt Susana sitting on my bed.

"Why are you puking so early in the morning?" She questioned. "Is there anything you are hiding from us?"

"Good morning, aunt Susana", I greeted politely, wondering why she was bothered about my health.

"Good morning, stepdaughter. You shouldn't ignore the question I asked you", she stood up. I was already used to having her call me stepdaughter even in the presence of dad. When dad tried to stop her, she told him she was calling me that because I refused to see her as my mother.

"....because I might have a solution to your problem", she finished.

"I don't have a problem aunty and I don't need your help", I answered back sharply.

She smiled wickedly and pulled out the protection Maria gave me from my purse. "Unused condoms in a lady's purse have two meanings. First, it's either she didn't have sex, or she had unprotected sex." I was dumbfounded.

She continued. "Symptoms of early pregnancy include early morning sickness like drowsiness and vomiting, sleeping and eating too much and all these are the signs you have been exhibiting, Daisy", she stopped walking around the room and faced me.

My heart was pounding wide. I wasn't thinking straight.

"You think I've not been observing you? You had dinner twice two nights ago. You ate breakfast three mornings ago and your dad's portion too. Four days ago, you vomited in our bedroom, remember? So tell me, dearest daughter, what is happening?" She questioned with a raised voice, turning into a low tone at the last statement.

"Aunt, I don't think this is any of your business." I snapped angrily. Why would she be invading my privacy and lecturing me as if she cares?

"Of course not", she uttered to me with a smirk. "But it is your father's business. What will happen when your daddy gets to know?" She folded her arms, grinning widely.

"I have no idea what you are talking about, aunt. I am not pregnant", I waved my hand, trying to control my anger and fear.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"I told you I have a solution to your problem, didn't I? I'm going to the mall now and I'll be back soon. I'll come back with a gift for you. See you", she flashed me another wicked smile before strolling out.

I sighed heavily and went to the bathroom to take my bath. Maria's flight was scheduled to leave by noon and I planned to spend a few hours with her before she leaves.

I finished taking my bath and rushed to the kitchen with my bag and phone. Aunt didn't cook so I took two slices of bread from the refrigerator and ran out to meet Andrew.

****

Despite my wailings, Maria only shed a few tears as I escorted her to the airport. Andrew offered to drive us there. We got there early and we chatted for a while before she was called on board.

She hugged each other passionately and she kissed me on the forehead. When I told her about the previous night, she shrieked in laughter. But when I told her I forgot to use the protection she gave to me, her face fell and she scolded me.

She gave me 3 books and I thanked her, promising to send her a present on her birthday.

She boarded the plane as I watched and when the plane took off, I cried some more before going over to meet Andrew to drive me home. I felt exhausted all of a sudden.

The look on Maria's face when I told her I had sex with him again was that of pride and triumph. I smiled. He took his time to pleasure me thoroughly, even though the day ended badly again, just like the first.

I knew I was being aggressive with him for nothing. After the sex which he couldn't get enough of, I tried to get him off me because I was embarrassed it happened again but he wouldn't budge. I felt him getting hard inside of me and he pinned me as we had another round of rough sex.

When he fell on me in exhaustion, I gathered my strength and pushed him away. He tried to pull him to himself and I ended up giving him another slap.

I went out of his car with my torn dress and called Andrew to come to pick me up before I went home. I got home very tired to even think about our lovemaking. I slept off almost immediately after changing into my nightwear.

A few meters away from home, I felt the tingling sensation again in my little kitty and I winced. Andrew asked if I was ok and I nodded. 

Then it occurred to me that Daniel or whatever his name is is the only guy that made me feel that way. He was the only guy that had that sort of effect on me.

Damien's POV

Daisy truly lights up my world. Her smile alone radiates and lights up the dark side of my life. I tried to get her off my mind all to no avail, even after the sex with Jessica.

When Denis told me about the party Stanley was organizing, I decided to go. I needed to clear my head. But I never thought I would see Daisy at the party. She didn't look like a party girl, so I never expected to see her there.

I saw her the moment she stepped into the building and the memories of our first night came rushing back. 

That was the essence of going to the party.....to clear my head and it was working, not until she showed up. I stared at her till she came closer to where I was seated with a girl who had been clinging to me ever since I got there.

I was trying to show interest too but the moment I saw Daisy, I lost interest. Daisy was with Maria and they seemed to be close friends. Are they best friends? I asked myself.

I knew Maria to be Eric's girlfriend. Eric used to be my schoolmate before he changed to Maria's. I hadn't seen Maria before, except for her pictures which Eric always flaunts on his social media handles.

I know Eric to be a crazy dude and he likes crazy girls too. Maria must be a crazy person to meet up with Eric's standards.

How come a crazy person like this is walking with my sweetheart? I asked inwardly.

When I saw Stanley going towards Daisy, I felt the urge to go protect her. Stanley was a bad guy. I know him too. He was a playboy. I didn't want any other man to go near her so I stood up and followed as she changed directions with Maria. 

The moment she set her eyes on me, I almost stumbled back in fear. The expression on her face scared me. I realized she was pained by our lovemaking. I thought we both enjoyed it.

Who would have thought we would end up together that night again, after what happened? I never planned it, unlike the other night. Even though I wanted to have her every night. I know I wouldn't get tired of her.

Seeing her torn clothes while trying to escape from Stanley was enough to turn me on. I didn't want to carry her at first because I know I won't be able to control myself. But I had to and carrying her complicated things.

I was so hard that it hurt. The thought of having sex with her again came and I pushed it away. I was yet to make amend for the other night and I was already thinking of having sex with her again.

I just couldn't resist her. Everything about her. I couldn't resist her lips.  I couldn't resist touching her or holding her hands. Her slightly parted lips were inviting me to claim her and make her mine. My lips brushed hers so gently with the softness of a feather.

She let me nestle between her legs as I pulled her closer, wrapping her legs around me. I wasn't comfortable so I went to the back seat, beckoning to her.

I was still thinking about the night when my phone rang.

"Mum?"

"Damien."

"Good day, mom."

"Amar just called. Your admission has been processed. He said you need to be in China before the end of tomorrow."

"What?"

"So you need to come to Las Vegas today. I'll round up with my meeting and come pick you up at the airport. My secretary will book your flight now and send you the details."

"Mom, I haven't...."

"You have no excuse, Damien. Your graduation party was last week, wasn't it?"

"Yes, it was", I groaned.

"Good. See you at the airport", my mother disconnected the call before I could protest.
