Rosette's POV"That was intense" I giggled while leaning into Damon's arms as he carried me up the stairs."Your throat must be sore, I'm sorry I went too hard on you" Damon replied, smiling at me."I don't want you to be sorry, I want all of you Damon, every shade of you" I said, gripping his shirt tightly.I waited for Damon to say something in response but he remained silent until we got to my room and then he set me down.Different thoughts spiraled through my mind as I thought of what was next, but Damon just stood still watching me."Emmmm..." I drawled out, tucking a few strands of my hair behind my ears."I would love to shower with you Rose, but I wouldn't be able to control myself around you and I need you to save your energy for our lessons" Damon whispered against my lips, almost kissing me."Lessons?" I repeated, panting hard."Yes, driving lessons, what were you thinking, naughty girl?" Damon asked as a slight chuckle escaped his lips."Ohhh" my mouth fell open, I wasn't
Rosette's POV "I'm literally so amazing, and I did well. Why won't you let me drive back?" I whined while popping some m&m in my mouth.I never knew driving could be fun and scary at the same time. For the last two hours Damon and I repeated one thing only, I was to move from one point to the other in a straight line, not taking turns or curves.Also, I had to learn how to step on the accelerator and control speed. It was an exhilarating experience and I really enjoyed it, only that it was starting to get dark and Damon had this meeting online with some clients and so we had to return home."You literally handled the steering wheel for a day and now you feel like some pro?" Damon threw back at me."Of course! I learnt from the pro which makes me one, you don't trust me enough" I countered."Are you serious right now? Okay, I will let you drive but I won't come with you, I would rather trek. I mean I love my life and I don't want to die now" Damon replied.My head tilted backwards as
Rosette's POV.Kara was wise enough to pick a more quiet bar, the place wasn't noisy or even crowded, like other bars used to be, as a matter of fact, the setting was quite decent.A few people seated in groups scattered all over the place but the air was mixed with a vibe of unseriousness and a bit of seriousness, causing one to subconsciously relax while being very aware.It's been five minutes since I arrived and yet there was no sign of Kara anywhere, I couldn't reserve a table so I took a seat at the counter side.I brought out my phone to call Kara, when one of the waiters approached me."Good evening Ms, what would you like to drink?"Nothing, just a glass of cold water is enough" I replied, typing away on the phone."Okay."The waiter left only to return two minutes afterwards, with a glass of mimosa and lime."Here you go Ms, I'm sure this will help with your throat" the waiter stated."But I didn't order this" I started as the waiter placed the cold drink in front of me.Ri
Rosette's POV"Diego" Kara muttered."Diego? What happened to Diego? Is he here?" I asked, swiveling in my seat, searching around for Diego."Silly girl, I mean the person I have been texting, the one you want to know is Diego""Diego?""Yes, Diego, Damon's friend, I met him at your house that day," Kara added as she lowered her eyes while looking away.It felt like my brain stilled for a minute, I just couldn't understand what she was saying."Why do you look that way?" Kara asked again."Cause I'm trying to process what you just said and I'm sorry I'm having quite a hard time understanding it" I replied, with a cold tone as my eyes narrowed looking at her."Don't give me that look Rose, he came on me and I only responded to him""What do you even mean by he came on you? I don't understand any of that, tell me clearly what's happening?" I questioned with a frown on my face."Okay, so listen, remember the other day when you came around, I told you I met him in a mall and we exchange
Rosette POV "Something like that" I answered, scratching the back of my neck."Friends are a bit difficult sometimes, right?""Very difficult but we can't do without them right?" I threw back at him."Well I think it's very possible to do without them" Rowland answered, picking you the pair of chopsticks that were supposed to be for Kara as then he picked up a sushi.I actually ordered a small quantity because we had no plans on staying for long and I just wanted us to have something to munch on while talking about whatever."Don't tell me you are worse than me?" I questioned, doing the same."I suppose, the thing is, it is easier to live life without depending on anyone, or what people can do or not do for you," Rowland stated."My mother is going to hate you for real, she doesn't believe it that because I don't socialize much even though I'm a bit crazy, she thinks I'm depressed, but I just think dealing with people can be stressful, look at Kara now, she called me out and now she
Damon's POV It's been three bloody hours and yet there was no sign of Rose anywhere, I kept checking my phone to see if she would text me or even call at least, but I got nothing.I was tense. Susan could return anytime from now and Rose wasn't back. What was I supposed to say to her as she entrusted her daughter's safety into my hands?I only let Rose out, because she was meeting with Kara and she promised to be back in an hour.Fortunately she gave me the location of the bar and so I decided to go there to see what was going on.I was a bit worried because Rose knows she doesn't have the permission to stay out so late and so what could be keeping her?In twenty minutes I got to the bar and immediately I entered the bar, I saw Rose in the arms of another man.For a second, all rational thoughts flew out of my head and the first thing I wanted to do was pounce on the guy.But I held myself back as my eyes locked with that of Rose, and with the way she leaned on him, I figured that sh
Damon's POV."Okay I won't have anything else to drink tonight, but you need it right?" Rose muttered slowly."The only thing I need right now is some valid explanation for what happened over there" I stated, placing a piece of salmon on her pasta."Okay, but I need you not to react to whatever I'm about to tell you? Please" Rose begged, tucking a few strands of her hair behind her ears.My brows deepened as I stared at her, what could she possibly want to say and not want my reaction to it?"Go on" I urged."Thank you for bringing me back home," she said. A frown crept its way to my face as I glared at her."Go straight to the point would you?" I threw at her. Rose's face fell as she lowered her eyes, I know I sounded harsh and cold but at this moment I couldn't control my tone at all."I didn't mean to get drunk, I was just annoyed at what Kara did and Rowland came over to make me feel better and we got carried away, I just...""That bitch" I cursed underneath my breath banging my
Damon's POV."Thank you for the meal" Rose said as soon as she was done eating, breaking the silence ever since Susan came in."Yeah" I answered.She dropped her plates in the sink and then turned on the tap, "So, what are you going to do about what I just told you?" "You want me to do something?" I threw back at her."I don't know, maybe Kara will think about everything I say and then she will realize everything I just need to give her space and time" Rose answered."You indulge Kara a little bit too much, you have had a long day, you need to rest, Goodnight" I said to her."I.." Rose paused as she turned off the water, "Okay" she finally replied and then walked away.I sat in silence for thirty minutes, putting everything together in my head, with my wine as company, but I was more in my thoughts than drinking out of the bottle.I felt stuck. I couldn't go upstairs, Susan was there and I just needed some space.It was already too late, and I couldn't go to Diego's penthouse at this
Rosette POV"Are you busy?" I asked softly, closing the door behind me. "No, you have my attention" my mom answered, throwing her legs out of the bed.After grabbing my snacks from downstairs, instead of heading to my room I decided to drop by and check on my mom.Luckily for me, I didn't have to knock because the door was slightly open and when I peeped in, she caught me and asked me to come in."I just wanted to apologize for everything" I started, fixing my eyes on the floor."Will you ever get tired of hating me?" She threw back at me instead.Immediately my eyes widened, "I don't hate you" the words slipped out of my mouth."You don't?""Mom...""Will I ever be that to you and truly be it? Every second our relationship takes a step forward, something comes up and we take three steps backwards, it's exhausting" she added again.This time around, she was so right. I was teary, but didn't want to show it so I wiped the corner of my eyes stylishly."I don't want us to keep going ba
Rosette POV After an hour passed of thorough questioning and penning down statements, the officers promised to remain in touch with Damon, once the order was processed and for the meantime we were asked to restrict our movements.Damon walked the officers out of the house, while my mom picked up herself and headed upstairs, without saying a word to me. She didn't even spare me a glance and now I was starting to feel bad for everything I said earlier, even though a part of me knew that I couldn't blame her entirely for it, it just felt easier putting it all on her.I took a deep breath in, turning around when I met Damon, he was angry at me, as he crossed his arms over his chest."You need to stop Rose," he started."I....""You are hurting but you aren't the only one suffering, your mom isn't happy about this either and so you cannot continue with this attitude," he added again."I can't help but feel that way..." I countered."And I'm not saying your feelings aren't valid, all I'm
Rosette POV "I'm not making this an issue, it's not my fault that you are always on defense mode, you need to cut me some slack Rose, you went out this morning, without informing either of us and then you return with Damon, with takeouts, can't I ask questions?" Mom countered, her hands resting on her hips."Of course you can mom, but then when you... just forget it, can we go inside, there is something I need to discuss with you" I added instead.Arguing with Susan was pointless.We could never agree on something together.Our views were just so different and poles apart."Alright then, go in, I will join you" she said, looking away."Mom, can you please not do that right now? Okay I'm sorry, but this is important," I insisted."How important?""Ronan"At the mention of his name, my mom's hand dropped as she turned around, like she was in search of him."Ronan? Did you see him around here? Did he talk to you?""What are you talking about mom?" I asked, covering the distance between
Rosette POV "What are you doing?" The words slipped out of my mouth as I gripped the car seat tightly."Distracting you""Distracting me? From what exactly?" I asked, shivers running down my spine as Damon's hands moved up my thighs. And my legs? They fell open on their own.I was squirming hard on the car seat but then trying hard not to show it."You will get yourself distracted Damon, we are on the road for Christ sake!" I protested, hiding the smile that threatened to break out of my lips."Let me worry about that, right now my only focus is you, so spread those legs wider for me my sweet Rose, I want to feel you..." He said without taking his eyes off the road but for some reason I felt like he was watching me."Damon..." I whimpered as he pushed my panties aside, his thumb coming in contact with my clit."Hmmmm" he hummed in approval, stroking me, and then he plunged two fingers inside of me.My eyes flew open instantly, a loud moan escaped my lips, from the corner of my eyes I
Damon's POVOnce the meeting was over, I rushed back to the last office where Rose was waiting for me, and to my greatest surprise, she was asleep.The last few weeks have been hell for me. Not just me but us. A lot of mental and emotional stress coupled with that emptiness creeping in my heart.My eyes raked all over her body, taking her sleeping figure in as I memorized the image of her, storing it in the deepest part of my heart, so I can never forget.Just because, a part of me knows that she would always remain there.Last night, when we danced, I could see her eyes pleading with me not to end things, but what would be of me if I didn't?A cheat?A mother fucking backstabbing liar?Everything we have done so far was... forbidden and wrong.But then putting an end to it, felt so right.Too right.And so I made up my mind that no matter what happens, once the 100 day mark comes, I will go very far away from her. Before we destroy ourselves.I wanted to make these last moments in o
Rosette POV "I need to tell you something" I said barging into Damon's office."Sir, I tried stopping her but she wouldn't listen and..." His secretary followed behind me.Instead of heading home, I changed my destination and came over to Damon's office.I remembered he told me that he was going to be here today for an important meeting and unfortunately that meeting was going on at the moment.My mouth fell open as my eyes danced around the men, or rather investors sitting around the table in their fancy daper suits."It's okay Jane, I will handle it" Damon said rising from his chair as he adjusted his suit without taking his eyes off me."I'm sorry I had no idea...I thought she was just trying to..." Before I could complete my statement, Damon grabbed my arm, placing a finger on his lips as I went silent."Excuse me gentlemen, I will be right back" He said, pulling me out of the office.Once we were out, I found the courage to speak again, "Damon please, I didn't mean to ruin your
Rosette's POV.Ronan.It has to be him.My hands trembled as I took a step back in fear, my eyes darting around in search of him, but there was no one around other than regular students just like Rowland and I."Rose..Rose are you okay?" Rowland asked placing his hand on my shoulder."Yes" I managed to utter, but I was far from okay, I was suddenly so self aware as I continued looking around."So, what's the answer?" Rowland asked again."Can we leave here?" I countered, putting my phone back into the bag."Emm...is that like a yes?""No...that's like a we should leave now, we need to hurry" I answered grabbing his hands as I started walking fast."Rose..calm down" Rowland called after me but I didn't stop, I kept pulling him and just as we got to the gate he suddenly stopped."Come on Rowland, this is important please..." I said, turning to face him."You know I would go anywhere with you right? But I have a class and I cannot miss it" Rowland stated, taking me by surprise."You have
Rosette POV "Rosee" my name left his lips, he was completely surprised on seeing me there."Hi Rowland" I replied, trying to be as polite as possible, without stopping, the last thing I needed right now was a heated conversation of any sort.Especially not with Rowland.Just as I walked past him, he caught my arm, we were still in the professor's office and so I couldn't react."Please Rose, can we talk?" He asked with a small smile on his face, so that the professor doesn't suspect anything."We have nothing to talk about please" I replied, placing my hand over his as I stylishly removed his hand."You don't have to do this Rose, you know...""Is everything okay Rose? Rowland you can come in, I have been waited for you" the professor interrupted saving me unknowingly."Everything is fine, I will take your leave now" I answered before he could speak up and then I walked out of the office.I sighed, feeling relieved as I walked out of the building, I know avoiding an issue is never th
Rosette's POV After our little romantic dance in the sitting room, Damon and I found ourselves in the kitchen.While I refilled my water bottle, Damon munched on some snacks, there were lots of papers over the counter top, his glasses and his laptop."Can I ask you something?" "Sure""Is everything okay with you? I mean with work and all, you have been way too busy and engaged with it recently so..."Damon sighed, taking a deep breath as he dropped the bowl of chips in his hands, "Actually work is crazy but there's nothing you should be worried about" "Well, it's just that I have never seen you work so hard and you look worried mostly" I pointed out.Damon forced a smile as he walked closer to me, "I will handle everything, and that's enough about me, what are your plans for tomorrow?" He asked, tracing my cheeks with his thumb."Well...I was going to drop by at school, start my registration for the next semester and after that, mom and I are going to the dentist" I answered."Hmm
