Rosette's POV."We became best friends after that," Caleb replied."What? I don't understand any of this. Can you please explain?" I asked."Rowland was new in town, we knew each other but we weren't so close, actually Rowland used to work at my uncle's workshop and some times I was there, you know learning a few, we used to hàng out but Rowland wasn't constant, he was in and out of town but we kept in touch, the Friday before that party I got a message from him saying he was coming back and all... just for me to see that" He explained."Wow that's odd...but then how did you react to that?" I probed further."Here comes the revelation, i created a big scene, got into a fist fight with Rowland, he didn't even defend himself once, he just let me attack, some guys separated us and I confronted Isabel, then she confessed, she told me that, she was just stringing me all along, all she wanted was Rowland, she was obsessed with him and I was a gateway for that, innocent Rowland, he had no id
ROSETTE POV "Are you tensed?" My friend, Kara, asked as she nudged my arm. "You've been so quiet, Sweetie." We were seated next to each other at the back of the cab, on our way to a private club. I turned to smile at her, "Uh? No...no! I'm good." I lied. Yes! I didn't feel good at all about what I planned on doing later this evening, but I was way too far gone to back out now. This evening, I would be taking up a bet made by my friend to sign up as a stripper at a private club, just for one night. I've heard stories of how girls made money from being one time strippers, especially if they were physically attractive, but that wasn't why I agreed to do this. I wasn't even doing it for the money, but for the fun of it; the thrill of dancing half naked in front of strangers that I would never meet again. A part of me wanted this because it would be my last attempt at being a rebel, before relocating to Los Angeles to live with my mother and her new boyfriend. Soon, the
ROSETTE'S POV "Follow me!" He growled, turning to face the manager of the club. I remained rooted to the spot, feeling heat rise within me. I was suddenly sweaty underneath the mask I had on. Within minutes, the handsome stranger before me had made a transfer to clear up the bet. The manager approached me, a sly smile on his face. "When I saw you earlier, I knew you'd raise a lot of money for me. Be back tomorrow morning for your share of the money. Tonight, make sure you satisfy him." He said, winking at me. A bolt of electricity jolted through me. The alcohol was slowly seeping over my senses, but I was not stupid enough to see that I was expected to spend the night with a complete stranger, all because he... "Let's get the hell out of here!" A familiar male voice said besides me, breaking into my thoughts. I felt his hand over mine, as he led me through the crowded club. ~~~~ The car pulled up right outside a large building, and the man at the driver's seat switc
DAMON POV I waited in the car as my girlfriend, Susan, walked into the crowd in search of her daughter. I was tensed. When Susan first told me she had a daughter, I didn't see it as such a big deal until this morning, when Susan requested that I should drive her to the airport. I closed my eyes, leaning back against the car seat, as I kneaded my fingers over my forehead. I was so not ready to be a step father but I needed to brace myself up for it. I loved Susan, so I had to accept her child too. Moments later, Susan got into the car, talking excitedly at the top of her voice. "Babe! She's here." She giggled, pointing at the backseat. I yanked my head backwards, just in time to see a young lady make her way into the backseat. Her long, blonde hair swayed as she settled into seat, dropped her bags besides her and struggled to strap on her seat belt. "Hello...?" I started to say. She looked up at me with a smile, stretching out her palm towards me, "I'm Rosette."
Rosette's POV“I know you want me, Rosette” The man before me said, breaking the silence in the room. His voice was low and husky. I was stark naked, underneath the bedsheets and I clutched it firmly it to my chin, willing myself to stay in control of my senses. Damon closed the door behind him, and with one pull, he took off his shirt, dropping it to the floor. "Are you sure about this—” I started to say, still shocked that this was happening for the second time. He was right. I wanted him, as badly as I needed air in my lungs, but this time, I wasn't even drunk. I was fully aware of Damon's figure a distance away from me. “Your mother doesn't have to know about this, Rosette. I've wanted to f*ck you again, ever since that we met at the club." He hushed, stepping out of his trousers. I looked down at the huge bulge in his underwear. “You like what you see, don’t you?” He teased me, as his lips curved into a sly smile. “Why don’t you have a taste of it again. It is all yours to
ROSETTE’S POV “Stop me…” Damon growled while breaking the kiss as we stared at each other breathing heavily, I threw my hands around him pulling him closer to me. “No.. no, i don't want you to stop Damon, please” I whispered while running my hands all over his back, for a moment it seemed like Damon wasn't sure what to do next. Not that he was hesitant, but more like he wanted to do everything all at once. “Are you sure about this?” he asked again as he ran his tongue over my nipple and I shivered. “Yes” At this point I was writhing on the bed, and my core was heating, all I wanted was to be touched and so I dropped one of my hands from Damon’s back running it along my thighs. Damon seemed to realize what I was doing and so he pulled back slightly. “You are such a naughty girl…tell me what do you think you are doing?” Damon questioned as his lips curled into a small smile. Before I could reply again, Damon covered my hands leading me further to my soaking entrance, my
Damon's POVFuck!What have I done? I was about to screw my step daughter again. First time could be considered a mistake but then if it happens again, it's definitely not a mistake.I strolled all the way to my room, regretting my decision to come over despite everything.I should have stayed away.But how could I?My body reacted to everything about Rosette, the way she moves, her lips, her eyes. I was attracted to her whole body and soul.But this was so wrong.So damn wrong.Despite getting out of the shower, half an hour ago, I grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom again. I needed to blow off some steam and only a cold shower can do that for me.I turned the shower on as the cold water cascaded all over my body, as I closed my eyes all I could see was Rosette's face, the disappointment she had on her face made me extremely guilty.I shouldn't have pushed her into this and then I was taking it away just like that..I exhaled loudly while turning off the shower as I came to
Rosette POVAward of the most stupid teenager that ever existed, must go to me! I mean, who else?Because I mean, how much more stupid can I be? I groaned for the twentieth time while rolling on the bed.My stomach was rumbling on and on and I was famished, but I didn't want to go downstairs. I couldn't bear to stand with Damon in the same room anymore.As if the Lord heard my prayers, I heard the car sound coming from the garage and I shot out of the bed running to the window to see who it was.A sigh escaped my lips as I watched Damon drive out of the garage and it felt like a part of me had been taken away from me.It was a crazy feeling that I couldn't explain but one thing was for sure, I was completely relieved.With Damon gone, I found my way downstairs to the dining table where the box of pizza was waiting patiently for me, my stomach grumbled once again at the sight of it and a small chuckle escaped my lips.I dashed into the kitchen to get a plate when my phone beeped, and

Rosette's POV A shirtless Caleb was the surprise."I'm sorry" I blurted out, turning around to back him."You?""I'm sorry, I had no idea that you would be...""What are you even doing here?" Caleb asked"Can you put on a shirt at least, I can wait outside" I stated."No need for that, you can turn around now" he said."Okay" the word slipped out of my mouth as I turned slowly facing him this time around."I'm sorry, I should have..." "But you didn't, you still haven't answered me" he said, cutting me short."Okay...can you give me a break at least? I know you are pissed, and angry with me and I'm only here to solve that, so please don't be a dick!" I countered, walking further into his room."Me...? A dick?""A metaphor Caleb, but that's not the point, look I'm really sorry about what happened at college, I lost my cool and said somethings, which weren't nice but on getting home, I did a lot of reflection and I have a question to ask." I started again.Caleb looked at me from head
Rosette's POV "I don't know what has gotten into him, I mean I thought you told him what you knew about the incident only for him to repeat the same thing over and over again" I said, pushing the keys into the door.After Caleb burst out, I left the college angrily, drove as fast as I could while trying to call Rowland, it wasn't until I got him, before the call finally connected, and to add to my frustration, the door was locked.I had no idea if it was from inside or outside and honestly? I couldn't care less.My saving grace was that my mom attached the house spare keys to my car keys, the most thoughtful thing she has done this month amongst many other untoward things.Rowland was on the receiving end of my anger concerning the whole thing with Caleb, and I don't know if he found it amusing, because in his words I could sense how bad he suppressed his laughter and it just made me feel foolish in a way.Are they both playing with me? Is this a way to get back at me for something I
Rosette's POV."You don't get to tell me to leave when you are here for me! You don't get to push and pull me away at your convenience" I yelled at him.I tried. I tried so much to hold it in and not break in front of him but I was tired, drained and exhausted.I was trying so much to put us together, and all he did was rip us apart, again and again."I'm done! So fucking done with you and this whole thing, I'm trying to stand by you, to help you get over this whole thing but you aren't letting me, I can't force you okay? So yeah I'm done!" I lashed out, turning to leave before I burst out in tears.I had fucking exams by twelve and I was right here, playing what card now?Just as I opened the door to walk out, I heard a small thud from behind followed by a soft voice that could pass on as a whisper."I'm sorry Rose, please stay..."When I turned again, Damon was on his knees, with his head bowed, utterly broken.Unfortunately, I couldn't keep the tears from falling and so I just let
Damon's POV.Fucked up!Everything is fucked up and insane.Why am I here in the first place? One thing was definitely sure and I shouldn't have come back.I took a quick sweep across the entire room, it was surprisingly clean, everything put together and nothing amiss.I sat on the edge of the bed, burying my head in my hands, as a soft sigh escaped my lips.Everything has been out of control ever since, I found out about Susan's recent deeds.I felt lost.Out of place and just disorganized. But she? She was even ready to go to work.Decked up like everything was normal.I let myself get carried away with all of Rose's emotional talks and I returned, which was a great mistake on my part."Can I come in?" I heard a voice, followed by a small knock on the door pulling me out of my thoughts.Before I could reply, the door opened even wider and Rose stepped in, carrying a tray of coffee and muffins, the aroma of the hot freshly brewed coffee hit my nostrils."Why are you here?" I asked,
Rosette POV."Whatever I did was wrong, I'm so repentant about it, but I won't put my life on hold like this, do you like seeing me that way and why are you standing at the door like a statue?" My mom's loud voice rang out as she descended the stairs.It was obvious that she was greatly pissed because of what I said to her earlier but repeating it in front of Damon?I raised my eyes to look at him as his brows deepened, looking across my shoulders. "Umm, you should come in," I said softly."I shouldn't have come here," he replied instead."But you are here already, right?""Who is it Rose? Why are you taking so much time?" Mom yelled again.I closed my eyes, shaking my head as I opened the door wider so she could see and keep her mouth shut."Da..mon?" She stuttered as she froze in her steps."Yes Damon" I added, stepping away from the door, as I ran my hand through my hair."Baby you are back, you are here" My mom said, her tone filled with disbelief."I'm here but you are about to
Rosette's POV."I will tell you everything you need to know, next time, you are worried sick about your mom and we shouldn't delay any further right?""Yes," I answered."Hop on then"We mounted the bike and Rowland took off, after he was sure that I was comfortable, I took a last glance at his home, before dragging my eyes away to concentrate on the road.We couldn't talk much due to the cold breeze. Also, Rowland had this serious expression while driving and I didn't want to distract him.In less than twenty minutes, my house came in view and my heart beat increased tremendously. I tried not to overthink the situation and hoped that my mom was still asleep.The lights were still off, which could mean two things, either good news or not.I hopped off the bike while removing the helmet and then handed it over to Rowland."You don't need to walk me to the house," I said."You didn't even let me offer, can't wait to get rid of me?" He threw back at me."Are you serious right now? I woul
Rosette POV "Thank you so much, for picking me up, the food and the clothes, it means a lot to me" I said, picking up the plates.I wanted to leave after Rowland returned with his 'wild animal' but he insisted that I wait till the rain stopped and so we had dinner with the burnt sauce.I offered to make a new one, but apparently he was out of ingredients, and so we chugged the food down with zero choices."You look good in it though," Rowland answered."Really? I was going to ask who they belong to cause they look so girly to be yours" I added."It should be Rosa or Lisa, I don't know...""What did you just say?" I asked, freezing on the spot as I turned to face him.Rowland wore a blank expression, sipping from his glass of water as his brows deepened like he was in deep thoughts."Wait a minute, don't tell me, you... Of fuck me." I burst into laughter moving into the kitchen while shaking my head.I threw the plates into the sink, washed my hands and then dragged the top i was wea
Rosette POV I walked, my feet carrying me forward on autopilot, the rain poured down around me and yet I couldn't feel it. I was numb, lost in a sea of my thoughts trying to comprehend what just happened.I never imagined Damon would do what he just did, one minute he was accepting me and the next, he was pushing me away, Forever.He doesn't want me.Not today or even tomorrow. He didn't bother to stop me, he watched me walk away without a single care of the world.Just like earlier.Today I could see the line clearly and I regretted crossing it over and over again..And now we are all broken.Damon.My mum and I. Yet the responsibility to fix this somewhat broken relationship rested on my shoulders.But what do I do?How can I fix it?Damon was adamant, angry and buttered about everything and my mom? She was sad, shattered and I don't even know.Tears pricked at the corner of my eyes and I let them fall. I mean what was the point of holding it back? No one could see meI was alone
