Leslie's P.O.V.Can my day seriously get any worse than this, it wasn't bad enough that I spilled hot steamy coffee on one of our potential important business associate but now I don't even have a place to sleep tonight.Yeah yeah , I know I stay with my parents I still can't comprehend that, which is why they just texted me that I shouldn't bother coming home , I mean is that a responsible thing any parent should ever say to their kids.Am pretty sure it's not. Well since my parents aren't even the slightest bit responsible neither are they like your everyday normal parents you see , I'll have to look for a place to spend the night maybe an hotelYou might want to ask why?Well here's the thrilling part, they are throwing what they call their once in a month Ruffle Orgy party . If you know what I mean which means they are going to have different people in the house tonight screwing everywhere both gays and lesbians that's just seriously shows how fucked up my family is if you know wh
Leslie's P.O.V.Seriously!!That's all you both could come up with"I screamed, pacing tiredly in the living room. The need to bolt out of the living room increased rapidly. With the sight of last night's party's aftermath, used condoms could be visible at all corners, used red cups infact the living room looked like it went through the gates of hell and am pretty sure the things done too cannot be unseen.Now is the time to voice out my thoughts on their child like behaviors and teenage lifestyle cause if I don't set them straight now no one will..."I thought to myself grimacing at how my life turned out into such a mess.Damn !God!Are you both so self centered!Can't you see me!" I say tiredlyAm seriously crumbling inside guys, but no instead you decide only to care about yourself . Why did you then bother to give birth to a child when you can't even behave like a grown up Huh...."I ask looking at mom dead in the eye. After the whole Ruffle Orgy night whatever it's called and with
Damien's P.O.V.Holy shit!Leslie's dark hair fell around her shoulders in loose beautiful curls. Her blue eyes seemed brighter than usual, thanks to the dark colors that were swept over her eyelids, and her full lips were painted a bright shade of red that perfectly matched her dress." Damn she looks good enough to eat.A dress that hugged her body from her breasts to her knees, revealing curves I didn't know she had hidden.I knew she was beautiful, but right now, she's downright sexy and breathtaking.And a part of me wanted to rip the dress right off her."I don't want to know," she said, fiddling with her dress.She peered up through long eyelashes, pausing when she saw me looking at her. "Hi." Her voice was a little squeakier than normal. "Do I look okay? Your Aunt was quiet vague on the details of the dress code, and honestly, I was too busy wondering how not to fall over in my heels when you told me. " She say breathlessly , looking quiet nervous and ready to bolt out of the ro
Leslie's P.O.V.There were a lot of people that attended the fundraiser tonight and when I mean a lot of people I mean lots of wealthy people. As in, they wore earrings that cost more than my entire wardrobe, and this dress was one I'd splurged on for special occasions. I've spent the last hour attached to Damien's side. In fact, he'd had one hand on me almost the entire evening, and I hated to admit that his hand on my back or my arm had made me feel a lot better than usual.He's obviously familiar with the people, and quite honestly, it was just about enough to make me have a good think about this weird little crush I was developing on him. This was a whole different world. Like a new dimension!Attending this social gathering just made it clear how we were definitely worlds apart." All I have going for me at this point is the fact that I haven't yet tripped over my own feet nor spilled a drink, or walked into anyone.Which is definitely a relief!It's all thanks to Damien anyway
Leslie's P.O.V."Hello?""Sorry to disturb u, I know it's a Sunday but am I'm in trouble and need your help."A familiar baritone voice says."Oh, It's you"Damn it , why did did he have to call.Does he want to apologise again for the kiss!I hate it when I overthink things."Yeah, it's me" He laughed softly. "Am kind of in a bind and need your assistance!I slumped onto my bed sighing out heavily. I guess he isn't affected by the kiss like I was. "What's the problem?"I slumply say."Am meeting a potential buyer and maybe shareholder if things go right. I totally forgot to bring some of the information and proposals which is quite important for this meeting. I don't have time to go to the office to get the information, Can you do me a huge favor and run by the office and bring them to my penthouse?" He rushed the words out. "I'm running stupidly fucking late because my alarm didn't go off, and I'm basically going to the airport to meet them, they changed the location of the meeting."U
Leslie's P.O.V.He freaking kissed you!" Morgan shrieks..Jeez, don't blow my ears off"I say grimacing .I don't think I'll ever be able to look at him with the same eyes"I say softly, with a sudden flash of his hot, sexy strong abs burn through my memory.Come on , it can't be that terrible,I mean it's not like you just stood their drooling"She says with her voice dripping with sacarsm on phone."Besides It's not like you're a virgin or something and it's not like you've never seen a man naked before.""well it's been quite a while so I may as well be a virgin," I grumbled."Ouch! We need to get you laid before your vagina drags you across your office and make you clamp onto your boss's penis.""I don't think that's ever going to happen." But just to be sure, I had to start wearing pants to work. "I need help to deal with this, Morgan. You're the kinda the extrovert and love expert in this relationship."I say ."All right, all right since am so open-hearted" She held up her hands. "A
Damien's P.O.V.I got out of the car, and rounded it to open the door for Leslie. It was such a small gesture, but it'd been ingrained in me from a young age to just be polite. After a long day in the office I decided to take her out for company dinner, since she hasn't really had one after joining the company. Although heaven knows I do have some ulterior motives behind asking her out to dinner.Since confirming that I wasn't the only dying and feeling this attraction I have to find a way to make Leslie admit how she feels.Hell, if someone opened the door for me, I'd be delighted. Nobody ever did that."She murmurs as she climbs into the car.After driving for like 30 minutes I parked."Is this place good?" Leslie asked. "I've never heard of it.""No. I'm deliberately bringing you somewhere where I know the food is bad." I say teasingly as we stepped out of the car."Shut up." She nudges me flashing those sweet smile my way, Damn how in hell does she not know how beautiful she is, a
Leslie's P.O.VOkay!This whole conversation is making me go hot and cold.Keeping my attraction to Damien to myself felt wrong. Maybe admitting it probably wasn't a good idea either, but he knew I was holding something to myself. If I could get it out of my system now before it escalates into something more, then maybe my job was not in jeopardy then.I could deal with it and move on. Part of that involved telling him how I really feel. I wasn't entirely comfortable with that, but at least if I did it now, I could carefully choose my words right.Okay, so mind made up after the whole scene back at the office I don't really think keeping all this desire and attraction bottled up is a bright idea after all .I was going to do it. I was determined. I would tell him tonight, here at dinner, that I was attracted to him and have a girly little crush on him, but it wasn't going to get in the way of my job or affect how I was able to do it. Right?I mean would it?Bloody hell!I'm going to
Epilogue Damien's P.O.V. One year later. Damien strokes his hands down his wife’s waist . A warm summer wind blows through the open doors of the bedroom, carrying with it the scent of the sea and the sound of our son laughing as he plays in the sand outside below with one of the island staff’s sons. A deep feeling of peace filled me...the hungry part of my soul has gone quiet. We're currently in one of my private Island, the very first family vacation with the whole three squad. Me, Leslie and memory. After the whole ordeal last year, with the attention of the press on us. We decided to spend the new year on one of the many islands I own. Leslie smiled up at me, with her Auburn curls glowing like a halo around her head in fiery contrast to the white of the pillow, I could feel myself getting hard for her. Again. ‘You should probably go down,’ she says, sliding a hand over my bare shoulder with her fingers gliding around the tattoo ink on my arm. ‘Memory will be getting impatie
Leslie P.O.V.So days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months. As time flew by we all grew closer, even my parents seems to be much normal well not that normal since they don't obey the No PDA rule. I now have a baby brother, dad decided to name him Jax. He's a cute little bundle which makes me more thrilled about the arrival of my baby. The much anticipated day of September 20 finally came yet no labour contraption. I feel no pain at all except from the constant pain I had in my hips, which I could definitely handle. It isn't easy being pregnant, I eat more than I usually do, well am a food lover so I don't mind. Although I sleep a lot and get tired easily, there was a time I almost slipped on the floor.Typical Leslie right.Thankfully Damien caught me,My doctor checked my cervix yesterday to see if I was dilated at all. I'm happy when she said I was 2 cm's, but according to the doctor, that's to be expected and nothing to get excited about just yet.A part of me can't wait for th
Leslie's P.O.V.I don't see why we have to eat out?"I ask Damien as we got out of the car in front of a very luxurious looking restaurant Damien decided it was time to make our first official appearance as a couple in public by going to a very public and popular restaurant frequented by the high class and the rich.“I know but I think it's time to shut the mouths of those vipers, don't you think?. Besides Morgan went through great length to prepare a gift for you, you should be there at the unvieling.” He says as he adjusts his tux taking my hands in his as we enter into the restaurant.We were welcomed by the host,As we stepped in. The looks on everyone face was priceless as they stared at my swollen stomach with Damien by my side. As we moved inside I then spot Vivian sitting by the table we were directed to, our eyes locking on each others. She then glides over to us with a sore look on her face.“I see you're back, she says”Saucily “Yes she is, and she doesn't need your welcome
days before Leslie's arrival.Morgan's P.O.V.“Morgan meet Xavier, a good friend of mine”Damien says as he motions with his hand introducing me to a handsome hunk.With golden locks, his handsome bronzed face and body that shone like gold. Broad shoulders and perfect curvy full lips with his green eyes dancing with mischief with a smirk that screams “I Know you want me"!“Yeah yeah now that we're done with the introduction, what do you plan on doing with that bitch Vivian”I say, trying not to let my body reactions to this Xaiver guy take the reigns of my brain.“She organized a board meeting outside of the company with the shareholders. Which means a lot of things, I think she's going to try to threaten you with the company.” Xaiver says as he stretched those sexy leg of his.“You know I started “BOYCE CORPORATION”on my own, without my dad's help. It's my company, It's my own legacy and has nothing to do with the ROMANO'S family business.“Vivian is aware of this fact and as the secon
Leslie's P.O.V.My head gives a resounding sound.Lifting my eyelids I wake up with a heavy feeling of In my head. I look around slowly trying to figure out where I am. I then realized that I'm currently back home, back at the mansion. Staring at the glass like wall to see it's already night time. I then vaguely wonder how long I've been out.Trying to sit up I spot Damien asleep in a couch beside the bed. Seeing him made me feel guilty for all the nasty things I did to him. It was wrong of me to have deprived him the chance to clear things up, instead of waiting I ran away. I made a huge mess of the situation, like I always do.” I thought as tears begins to slip from my eyelids slowly, weeping a bit loudly now as I could not hold back my emotion any longer. Damien wakes up looking around alarmed and then rushes to me taking me into his arms. just then the door slams open and a nurse rushed in, looking a bit panicked. “Ms. Romano? We need you to calm yourself down, right now! Your
Leslie's P.O.V.It's the sixth month of my pregnancy and sitting uncomfortably on an airplane might not be one of the brightest move I've made. I hate the fact of being squished into a small seat. I even bought a first class ticket this time at the expense of my bank account which may or may not be throwing curses at me . Even with everything am still uneasy and uncomfortable it feels like there's not enough room for me no matter how I twist and turn. I informed my doctor about my flight back to New York and she advised me that after this journey I should not do it again untill the baby is born. As of my return back home no one knows yet, apart from Morgan. With the difficulty of moving around without not getting noticed annoyed the hell out of me I could feel prying eyes but I just ignored it.Outside the airport I try to hail a cab and making sure not to attract any attention from anyone.Now that I'm back in the very house it all started. Back at Damien's penthouse,the house have
Leslie's P.O.VAfter the flight from NYC, I made it to Seattle with no harm. Thankfully, there were no paparazzi around as I left the airport. I was able to get myself a cab and hurried home .The gates were locked when I reached my destination. I press the buzzer, informing Celia that I've arrived. She promptly opens the gate by the controls letting the cab into the house. See Celia has always been a very close cousin and relative of mine, we played together, ate together , went to school together and we were romies with me, Morgan and her back in college. Although she's the first to tie the knot in our group moving to Seattle with her husband.She greets me outside with her husband, Gareth, as they both helped me with my luggage. Gareth pays the driver for me as Celia helps me into the house.Once inside, Gareth locks the door and rushes to me giving me a tight hug. "Oh poppet, what has he done to you? I'm so sorry he hurt you. But I'm glad to see you back home." He says, smilin
Leslie's P.O.V.Okay!Have had enough!Remember the package, Vivian's been yapping about, well it was very well received. After getting home that day, I witnessed Damien hugging the strange georgous lady. When I asked who she was. He reacted so cold , distant and felt like a stranger. He left and zoomed off with her, mustering something about being back before dinner. The bitch even smiled at me waving her hands in a cherry manner and I just stood helplessly watching as he slipped right out the door with her."There's no way I'm going to cry for this man". I whisper softly as I crash into my bed."I will not"!"I Damn won't!"My eyes did say otherwise, as hot tears burn and tremble at the precarious edge of my eyelids. Please don't fall, please don't fall"I chant silently. I don’t want to let them fall because that means he’s hurt me real deeply. But then the image of him holding that beautiful woman in his arms flashes, the way he had looked down at her with so much love as she clun
Damien P.O.V. Next day..... It hasn't even completed two week since my marriage with Leslie but the tabloids already has there media house publishing different articles on our relationship, each blog carries every rumor. Seems they were able to get some pictures on me and Leslie in the rain yesterday and now their scandalous topic for their column for today says: #ATTENTION SEEKER, “SOCIAL CLIMBER BRIDE FIGHTING IN RAIN? TROUBLE IN PARADISE ALREADY?” "What loads of crap.....”I thought angrily at the paper as I held it open above my desktop, then crumpled it briming with so much anger at the attacks of the media on Leslie. Trying to curb the murderous roar as I crumple and squeezed the paper giving my hands something productive to do. Sending the blasted papper down waste bin as I considered lighting up all the media houses taking their pound of flesh on Leslie. “You need to calm down man."My best friend Xavier says with a grim look on his face. I sent for him, since am going to n
