Chapter 23. Cover Up
Last Updated:
2021-06-28 12:09:44What was it with men and picking me up? I was short yes but did it mean that they could all manhandle me? And I didn’t want Baron picking me up; it just set a bad precedent, I thought angrily and started squirming in his arms.
Yeah, you weren’t really that angry at Damien were you? My mind shot back instantly. Admit it, you really liked him picking you up, you’d be happily inhaling him if he was the one who had you in his arms now.
I ignored the voice in my head, “Put me down Baron!” I said as forcefully as I could.
“Sheesh, don’t squirm Seline, you’ll fall down and hurt yourself. I’m only taking you to the bedroom so you can lie down and then I’ll dress your wound for you.”
“I don’t want to go to the bedroom!” I insisted when we had arrived at the doorway of the bedroom, and Baron just turned back the way we’d came.
Great.
Maria laughed at my predicame

Damien had been here..He’d come back last night, picked me up and put me to bed and I hadn’t even realized it.Oh God, I put my head in my hands. I didn’t even have the excuse of pain pills because I wasn’t even taking any now.How had I not woken up?Shit, I’d wanted to talk to him, make him see sense. I’d.. wait a sec, maybe he was still here.I quickly pushed back the covers and made my way across the room to the washroom to check if there was anyone inside. I put my ear to the door and not hearing anything, I pushed it open.There was no partially naked Damien shaving for office.But he had been there.. I could smell his aftershave in the air around me and the mirror had droplets of steam. He’d only left a short while ago I was sure.Shit, I’d missed him by a hair.What if he was changing in the walk in closet?Not possible but worth a check, I thought as I knoc

It should have been harder than this to walk down the street with a foot that was just healing from an accident but it wasn’t. I barely felt it.What I did feel was an unfamiliar pressure in my heart, as if i shouldn’t have left like this, as If I should’ve waited for Damien to return. As if we had an unspoken agreement between us where I should have waited for him to return. As if we had something unexplored between us that needed to be let out.But… I couldn’t get the phone call out of my mind. He had been so cold.Okay Seline, I gave myself a pep talk, this is you. Alone, you knew you couldn’t ever rely on anyone. You’ve always taken whatever life handed you and made your peace with it. You can do it again.I hefted my bag higher, straightened my shoulders and without looking back I made my way out of the building and out into the sunlight. I hadn’t even known I could be this brave, Mari would be proud o

My phone rang in the silence of the car and I angled the phone screen away from Mari since I didn’t want her asking me who Mr. Flynn was.“It’s him isn’t it?” Mari had a knowing look in her eye as we turned into the lane leading up to her house and she slowed down.“Who?” I tried to look innocent.“Oh c’mon, its Damien Alexander right?”I looked away from her and out the window of the car as she parked it and then got out.She came around to the other side and opening the door, she stood with her arms crossed and looking impatient as hell.“Why aren’t you picking up his call?”I looked down at the phone in my hands which had thankfully stopped ringing now. I would remember to change his name to something else or better yet, I would block him completely. I didn’t want any part of him in my life to remind me of what had happened between us.What h

I hid my head underneath the pillows stacked on top of Mari’s bed. I couldn’t face her or my idiotic self at the moment.“Of all the things you could have left at his place Seline..you leave the one thing you need the most,” Mari was right, as always.“I can’t go back for it,” I mumbled from under the pillows, “What if I just leave it there?”“I sure hope that’s a joke babe, because the new professor is not joking with his assignments. You haven’t attended even one of his lectures; you know you can’t afford to fail that course.”For once I did not need any sensible advice. Ever since I had met Damien, my life had turned upside down.From being a responsible student who followed the rules, didn’t skip classes and was focused as hell on her goals, I’d turned into this girl that I didn’t recognize. I would never have believed anyone if they had told m

I was seething with fury as I thought of the witch with the long red nails in Damien’s penthouse. He didn’t have any trouble replacing you, did he? My mind taunted at me as I stepped into the lift to take me back down to the lobby.I wish I had gone with Mari to help out Baron and not came back here. I should’ve listened to my gut and not come here in the first place.What had I expected? Baron ready to receive me with hearts and flowers. No, I thought but I had expected Baron, alone at the very least. I hadn’t expected her.I felt betrayed even though we hadn’t even had a relationship.Get over it Seline, it was just one kiss.It was probably just a stupid kiss for him too, maybe he kissed dozens of women every day.It probably didn’t mean anything to him, kissing me like that.But it had meant a lot to my fragile heart. I suddenly felt very replaceable.But Rosanna had not only

She hadn’t called me, I punched him as hard as I could.She still hadn’t called me, I gave him a good forceful kick.Sweat ran down my face as I gave another punch causing the punching bag to fly. If it had been that faceless bastard who I was imagining, he would be history right now.Disgusted I put my hands on my knees and took some much needed breaths. I felt another wave of anger engulf me as I remembered the penthouse.WHY? WHY? WHY? I slicked back my sweaty hair and stood up.Why was she living with that stranger when she could have been living here? Why hadn’t she called me?Hadn’t I done enough? Hadn’t I shown her in as many ways as I could how important she was to me? Hadn’t I done everything for her? And she didn’t see it.She didn’t see me standing in front of her. I always took care of her, I watched out for her. I took her home, I went to pick her up. I always

I’d missed him.As Damien strapped me in and pulled the seatbelt across, I was embarrassed by my behavior.But the only excuse I could come up with was that I had missed him, that’s why I had let him just pick me up and take me away.As he rounded the hood and came inside the car, I could feel the electric sparks in the air between us. I shivered and my eyes traced his profile as if I hadn’t seen him in a year rather than a day.What was this strange connection between us? It scared me.His hands gripped the wheel tightly for a minute, and then he stared at me as if seeing me again had affected him just as deeply.He clenched his jaw and started the car.He executed a sharp turnaround from where we were that had me clutching my seat with both hands even though I had the seatbelt on.Then he started speeding the other way.“Are you trying to kill us?” My voice barely came out as a squeak.

As Damien started the car once again, I could still feel his lips on my lips and I relived the kiss in my head again and again. It had been our second kiss but it had felt more like our first one. It felt like I had been a different girl when Damien had kissed me last time.And now.. now It felt like we had started all over again.I looked over at him and he was concentrating on the road. I suddenly realized that I didn’t know where we were heading.“Where are we going?” I asked him.He gave me a wicked look, “I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty hungry.”Oh, I thought and licked my upper lip.“I’m hungry too,” I said slowly, not sure if he was even talking about food.“What would you like to eat?” He looked at his watch, “I think we could get takeaway at this hour and eat it in the car.”I nodded, why hadn’t he suggested going back to h

“What?” I looked at her in confusion, had she just said what I thought she’d said? “An arranged marriage? What do you mean an arranged marriage?”“Just what you heard!” Mari replied and sped up as we got near her place.I was struck dumb as I put aside all my problems to focus on Mari’s problem, an arranged marriage in this age? What were her parents thinking?“But Mari, we’re not in the dark ages anymore.. maybe you misunderstood your parents..” I said hesitantly as she parked her car.She gave me a murderous look and without saying a word, banged out of the car. I winced and slowly got out thinking about the huge bombshell she had dropped on me.Mari was like a free bird, not ruled by anything, fears or uncertainties. She had always lived a charmed, cushioned life, never faced any problems or gone through any tragedies as I had and so she had flourished.I had never be
His Favorite Flavor Arranged
It was Baron. I heaved out a sigh of relief as I saw Baron hesitantly come into the room.Damien tilted his head and just stared at Baron and no joke, he looked scary.Poor Baron just stared at me and Damien and then back at me. I tried not to fidget or fix my clothes but it was hard with the silence.I guess Baron was waiting for me to speak but I refused to say anything because he had no right to come barging in here like this and I was pretty sure he had come here to check on me. he didn’t have a good reason for this interruption.I hadn’t wanted this interruption; I had wanted to be kissed by Damien instead. To be taken by him against the door. I felt hot just thinking about him and me in here, on his desk, on the chair, on the sofa.“Yes? How can I help you today Mr. Hoffman,” Damien asked him finally as Baron said nothing and the silence continued to lengthen.“I..I came here to talk to Seline, I mean info
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 45. Desperate
I watched Seline walk away from me and after Professor Flynn and I was afraid for her. What if I had put her in trouble because of my stupid attempt at taking her out of the class.Shit. I thought and followed behind her maintaining a distance so I would know which office they were heading to.Both of them entered the room and the door closed. Seline had looked remarkably calm and even as if she had been expecting the professor to call her out.But Seline was too good, she probably thought she really had made a mistake by disturbing his class.The prick.Why did he have to act so high and mighty as if what he taught was so fucking important to our lives. Who even needed his advice on running a business? He just liked to brag about how much of a big hotshot CEO he was. If he was such a big thing, why was he teaching?Huh, I could brag about my family business better than him and I hadn’t ever even spent a day working there.It wa

Class was almost over and the lecture was finished. Some of the students had already left but a few of the girls had gathered around Damien. Now I could see what Mari had meant when she’d said that most of the girls had a crush on the new professor.Well obviously, he was hot as hell. That’s how he had fooled me as well.Oh God, I was dating a professor and it was a secret relationship.How had I gotten into this mess?Shit..Could I tell my friends?I didn’t know, I needed to talk to him first.Mari hadn’t noticed anything strange about me but she had been a bit distracted by a call she had received from her mother and had rushed out right after class to talk to her. I wondered if everything was alright.“So why does he want to see you?” Baron asked me gesturing at Damien who was still surrounded by his fandom.I shrugged, “I don’t know, might be because I didn’t att
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 43. Cold
I was equal parts angry and shocked, unable to decide if I should keep staring at him or to look down at my notebook. I didn’t even know what Damien was teaching, I was so confused.Whenever I looked at him, I kept looking until I had to tell myself to stop. It felt strange to watch him talk to the class and know that I had kissed those lips, those hands had pulled me closer.It made class so distracting.I didn’t know how to behave, how to sit, how to write..I didn’t remember ever being this nervous before.But in all of this, Damien was calm cool and collected. It should have affected him too, I thought irritably. My being in the room should affect him too.I was glad I wasn’t sitting next to Mari today, she was at the other end of the aisle and we hadn’t been able to get seats together because of the stunt I’d pulled midway.Baron wasn’t as in tune with my feelings as Mari and he merely th

I turned back the way I had come in and slammed right into Mari.“Whoa, what’s wrong Seline?” she caught my arms and steadied me before I could move past her and out the door.I couldn’t think clearly, “I..need to go out Mari, to the bathroom, I forgot something.”“You forgot something in the bathroom?” Mari asked me as I moved past her but I didn’t answer. My head was spinning as I took deep breaths to think clearly.Back in the hallway leading towards the classes, I tried to make sense of my reality.Damien?Damien was my professor? He was the new professor? How was that possible?How? And why hadn’t he said anything?Suddenly I remembered his words in the text, ‘See you in the morning.’ and then his words last night, that I’d find out tomorrow whether or not he told me.This is what he meant.THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT?!I suddenly
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 41. Surprise!
Mari was surprised to see me back so early, “Didn’t I just talk to you about meeting us for dinner or something, don’t tell me the plan is off?”I didn’t know what to say or how to explain what had happened.“What happened Seline?” she looked concerned now. I twisted my fingers and thought of where to start.“Mari, he’s hiding something.” I sat down on the bed, most of my anger had drained at this point and I was just confused now.Mari came and sat down next to me, putting her arm around my shoulders, “How do you know that?”“He told me himself.” I told her, “but he didn’t tell me what it is that he’s hiding from me.”“Hold on, so you came back without asking him what it was?”“Well, he refused to tell me until and unless I stayed the night. Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?” I looked at Mari.
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 40. Secret
I felt a frisson of alarm move through me at his words, what did he mean?What was he hiding from me?I should have known. I should have known.He was just too good to be true. My instincts had told me before he could tell me.I wondered what he was hiding and how big an impact it would have on me.I stared at his face, unable to comprehend what he was saying or what I should do now.And why now? What was the relevance of this moment.Did it have anything to do with my friends coming over? Why?I was silent for a minute, trying to get my disjointed thoughts to form a single sentence that would make sense. Damien waited patiently as if he had all the time in the world.“Are you hiding something from me?” I asked finally, scared of his answer.He took one of my hands in his, “It’s not as serious as you think but this secret will require your trust in me, in us. Which is why I’m asking y
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 39. Strange Behavior
There was a devil on one shoulder and an angel on my other shoulder because my thoughts were conflicted as hell. On the one hand I wanted him to be joking and on the other hand I wanted to strip off this shirt and call him up on his challenge. It was maddening. I stared up at him from beneath my lashes trying to guess if he was serious. He was waiting too for what I would do, call his bluff or brush it off? My phone rang in the middle of our silent war and the spell was broken. I took a shuddery breath and moved to pick it up while Damien took his coffee to the breakfast table. It was Mari. “Rise and shine Babe,” she chimed as I picked up the phone. “Good morning to you too,” I laughed as I turned to make my own coffee, light and sweet. “I don’t know about my morning but I’m sure yours was pretty good..” I could hear the curiosity in her voice. I laughed and Damien looked up, “Well have I guessed correctly?” she asked m
