Rosette POV This was my first time attending afternoon classes and it was pleasant, extremely pleasant. The crowd was less and it was easier to pay attention.Since the main examinations were approaching, everyone seemed to be paying keen attention to the lessons.I pushed behind every thought of my mother's melodrama and Damon's to the back of my mind so I could concentrate.This was my first semester results and I didn't want to fail no matter what. Even though a lot of crazy things were happening here and there, I still believed that if I studied hard, I would be able to pull it off.God was on my side today, because there was no sight of Kara and her girls around and even Caleb wasn't here and I was at peace.The third class was almost over and the professor gave us a last minute mock test with our system before leaving the class.I gathered my stuff to leave the classroom when a figure came into view."I thought you would be on Oasis rooftop, basking in sun, but here you are" I
Rosette's POV.“What are you doing Rowland? Why did you do that!” I yelled at him as Kara broke into fits of cough.“She deserved it” Rowland spat out.“No, you don't just go around, grabbing people's neck…”“Even if they misbehave? I was so ky teaching her a lesson just because she deserves it, she came to me and I refused her, over and over again and she is only doing this…”“Please, don't say it again” I interrupted.“Rowland, man what are you doing?” Caleb jumped him, dragging him away as I turned to face Kara, disappointed written all over my face.I lowered my voice as I spoke to her, “Are you serious right now Kara? What is wrong with you? Why are you doing this? To get laid? Get a fucking direction and it will help you” Immediately Kara pushed me hard and I lost my balance, I was about to hit the ground but then Rowland caught me right in time.I hated scenes. I hated creating scenes but here I was, I'm the middle of a crazy fiasco, all because I have a mad best friend and an
Rosette's POV After the whole fiasco in the cafeteria, everyone went their separate ways. Instead of attending the last class, I booked a cab and headed straight home.On getting home, the entire house was dark, there was no one in the living room and instead of turning the lights on, I headed towards the stairs when I heard a weak cough coming from the kitchen.My brows deepened as I turned around, walking into the kitchen, it was still dark but I could make out a figure on the counter."Damon? You?"More coughs again and a weak yes."What is wrong with you, why did you turn off the lights?" I asked, walking into the kitchen as I turned on the lights.Damon was seated at the counter with his head bowed and a glass of warm water in front of him, a sketch pad, a pencil and his phone.Instantly I rushed to him, pressing my hand on his neck. "Holy fuck!" I cursed out loud.Damon was burning up.Like hot. His fever had gone up significantly.I rushed to the sink, filling a bowl with wate
Rosette POV "I'm so so sorry darling, I was in a meeting and..." My mom rushed in immediately. I opened the door, throwing her bag on the sofa as she rushed towards the couch where Damon laid. "A meeting? You couldn't just skip a day to look after your sick husband?" I threw at her, closing the door. "You don't understand it Rose, Damon was completely fine and I asked him if it was okay for me to leave, he was in good shape, how am I supposed to know that this would happen?" "No sick person would want you hovering around them like a fly, of course he knows how important your work is to you, were you expecting him to say no?" I shot at her. "Rosette!" She barked. "No matter how much you raise your voice mother you will have to hear it, what are you thinking? What if I didn't return from college early? What if he died? Okay if your work was so important why didn't you call me? At least..." "Rose that's enough.." a weak voice that belonged to Damon interrupted. "It's not
Rosette POV.The doctor diagnosed Damon and placed him on drip, he had to call his assistant to get the materials needed and afterwards he wrote down some prescriptions for us to buy.Well apart from myself I have never been in a position to look after a sick person, and I can't even remember the last time I fell ill that would put my mother in the position to look after me.My mom escorted the doctor out of the room where she shifted Damon while I sat down beside him, his eyes closed as his chest kept rising and falling.Beep.My phone beeped and I reached out for it immediately.It was a message from Evelyn."How is Damon doing?" I read out loud.Instead of sending a reply, I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room, dialing her number.On the second ring, she answered, "Hey cupcake!"My lips spread into a smile as I hugged myself with one arm, leaning on the wall outside Damon's room."Good evening Evelyn" I greeted."How are you doing? How is Damon? Is everything stable no
Rosette POV The days passed quickly as well as Damon's recovery, my life fell into a simple routine. Wake up in the morning, get dressed for college, check on my mom and Damon and I was out of the house. I attended all my classes while staying away from Rowland, Caleb and Kara. I made it so obvious to each and every one of them that I was actually avoiding them. I wasn't even in that mental state to speak to Rowland yet, even though he sent me a very sweet apology message and Caleb did nothing other than blow my phone up with calls. After college, I would lock myself in the room, studying and snacking on whatever I could find and then for the night, I joined my mom and Damon downstairs for dinner, afterwards we would watch a movie together. Rom Coms to be precise. In between all these, the highest Damon and I could do was exchange glances and brief hugs whenever I was leaving for college. But tranquility was present in the house and for the first time, it felt like a
Rosette's POV.Throughout my stay in the library, I pondered over everything Rowland said and then I listed out why I should attend the party and why I shouldn't. There were so many reasons why I should attend the party like Rowland stated, my life doesn't have to revolve around the issues of Kara and Caleb.All because of Kara I didn't get the chance to socialize, meet people and actually experience college fully, I wasn't bothered at first because I had her and I thought things would always go that way, if only I knew better.And the more I thought about it, the more I realized I had NO reason NOT to attend the party and so I made up my mind.Immediately I brought out my phone and sent a message to Rowland, telling him I would be there. Within seconds, he reacted to the message with a thumbs up and it was time to leave.******"What was Mrs Thompson doing here?" I asked my mom as she closed the door.On getting home, I was shocked to see Mrs Thompson leaving the house at the same t
Rosette's POV So that is exactly how I bought my way to this party. I stood in front of the door adjusting my dress, while summoning the courage I needed.One way or the other, I knew in my heart that Kara will be here, and Caleb too, and there is no way I will be able to avoid them, scratch that. I can avoid Kara, but I definitely have to speak to Caleb tonight.The party was in full swing by the time I arrived, music booming, and people dancing, the neon lights of the hall swayed all over, giving the hall a disco vibe.It was so hard to locate anyone with the lights and I didn't want to risk bringing out my phone. My eyes danced around the hall until they landed on a spot at the other end of the hall.It was kind of a mini bar, but from my observation, I figured out that it was for non alcoholic drinks, hence the less crowd and so I made my way there.I had less than two hours to return back home and in this crowd, if I'm not able to find Rowland I might just end up going home in
Damon’s POV“What the fuck is wrong with you Damon?” Nathan yelled over the phone. Twenty minutes after Rose left, I got a call from Nathan man, was pissed and angry. He must have called Rose and she must have told him about everything.Everything but not how i fucked her and asked her to leave the next second.And I regret it, I deeply do, but I had no idea how to fix it, I couldn't even gather the courage to go after her and stop her. “Say something man, at least, you got me to call her and i did and then you threw her out?” He added again.“Is that what she told you?” I threw back at him.“What she told me doesn’t matter, what you did matters! I know what Susan did to you was horrible, terrible and all that…but that doesn’t mean you get to do that to her, I’m sure she dropped everything for you” “Did you tell her the truth?” “I told her it wasn’t in my position to do so, Susan might tell her once she gets home and now you are deviating from the topic, why did you do that?” “It
Rosette's POV I tried to speak again, but it was already too late. Damon marched forward, with angry precise steps as he pulled me out of the elevator straight to the suite. Immediately the door closed behind us, he pushed me to the wall and then kissed me.Wrong.Ravaged me.He was everywhere, taking and taking, he was angry and he was taking it out on me, at first I tried to stop him at least to get him to talk but all my efforts were futile and I just gave him, I allowed him consume me in the best way possible.I moaned as he raised my legs, so I could hook it around his waist while pushing my dress up and at the same he worked his pants and in the next few seconds, I could feel his cock seeking entrance.Fuck.This was pure madness but I was so turned on. I could feel my wetness dripping down my legs as the sounds of my moans and his grunts mixed together, echoed in the room."Fuck" I cursed out loud as he slammed into me, no warning, no foreplay well apart from the aggressive ki
Rosette's POV There was something off about today, I could feel it in the air, Rowland kept dragging me out of my thoughts, again and again and I apologized countless times but yet.I couldn't fight off the urge to call Damon and with every passing second it increased drastically. We were on our way to the college garage after the exams when my phone rang.It was an unknown number.I paused on my tracks as I stared at my screen, all possible imaginations running through my head."Aren't you going to answer that?" Rowland asked for the second time."Yeah, I will..but then it's an unknown number and I'm skeptical about it" I replied."Should I take it for you?"My eyes danced between my screen and Rowland, what if it was Damon calling? And he says something inappropriate thinking it's me, how do I explain it?"No, no you just go ahead and meet Caleb, I will take this call and come along" I stated, turning around as I answered the call before Rowland could utter anything. "Hello?""Hey
Damon's POV "Selfish?" "You don't get to call me selfish Damon, I did what I thought was best for you and I, I only had our interest in heart" She added rising from the floor as tears ran down her face."Let me get this right Susan, so you are saying, you got pregnant, aborted the baby, because you felt like it was the best thing for us?" I asked, throwing the papers at her, my tone filled with disbelief."But isn't it? Look at me Damon, do you think I will be able to carry a child for another nine months, and to take care of an infant is something I'm not capable of doing, not now not even tomorrow!" She retorted."So you aborted it because you won't be able to look after your child? It's fine with Rose, she is an adult and fortunately she doesn't need you anymore, you keep missing the point here Susan!""But a small baby will need me Damon, I won't be able to do that, I won't be able to be there every single minute and second showing affection and...""I'm out of here" I fired bac
Damon's POV. "Are you repulsed by me? Am I making such a huge demand from you?" Before she could continue with her nonsense, I kissed her. Harshly. Pushing her back to the wall as her hands roamed over my shirt as she tried to pull it off but then I pulled back. Panting heavily, "You shower, and join me in bed, I will be waiting." I ordered. A proud smile crept its way to her face, "Are you sure about that?" She purred. "Yes" I assured her and then she kissed my cheeks quickly before dashing into the bathroom. Immediately I banged my fist on the wall. What the hell am I doing? I wanted to scream so loudly that the ceilings might fall but I suppressed it. I just gave my word to Susan now, but I made a promise to Rose. How do I maintain both of them? I made my way to the table as I opened the last drawer; the sex cabinet like Susan likes to call it. There were different types of sex toys in it, vibrators, dildos, nipple clamps, cuffs and the list goes on. But
Damon's POV "What was the need to do all of this?" I asked as we settled down, my eyes scanning the entire place.It was beautiful, roses scattered all over the floor and the table, the aroma of the dishes on the table filling my nostrils as my eyes rested on the bottle of champagne in the middle of the table."Well I think our relationship has been lacking, especially with the fact that I'm always absent and so I decided to do this for us, also a medium to thank you for always looking after my daughter" Susan stated, with a wide smile on her face.I was dumbfounded, I least expected any of this and I had no idea how to react, my mind wasn't even present as it kept drifting back to Rose.How did she feel about all of this happening?Susan must have told her about it and to worsen it she was right upstairs and we were having our date right here."I appreciate you doing all of this Susan,.but why not a restaurant or a hotel you know..." I asked, grabbing the bottle of champagne.I need
Rosette's POV"Sweetie, I do not mean that and you know it, you just caught me by surprise that's all" Mom uttered, running her hand through her hair.I watched her carefully as her expression switched between worry and carefree, a fake smile spreading on her lips."Doesn't seem like it" I countered, leaning on the counter table as my eyes hovered around the table."Rose...""I get it, you are an adult, your life and I don't get to interfere, I was just asking and you don't have to tell me either, so..I will take this to the dining area" I said, reaching out for the first tray.Mom settled for three full course meals, with the appetizer, main meal and dessert, I think so.A fruit crunch for the appetizer, steamed buns and lasagna for the main meal and lastly, my all time favorite dessert - Vanilla cupcakes with a dash of lemon."Baby, you don't have to worry about me, I promise I'm alright, just routine check up, and my doctor was confirming with me" She answered."Sure?""Yes dear, I
Rosette POVI paced nervously across the room, my mind racing with fear and different thoughts.Was my mom suspecting Damon already? Could that be what she meant by that?I had no idea what to do and so I decided to call Damon but his number was unavailable.At the same time, there was a gentle knock on my door, causing my breath to hitch in my throat."Rose baby, can I come in?" My mom called out from outside.Before I could answer, the door creaked open as my mom stepped in, "What has gotten into you sweetheart?" She asked, marching towards me.I stood still, my back facing her with my arms crossed as I wiped the corner of my eyes."You have been so off and it makes me so worried, do you need my help? You need to let me help you in...""Someone spoke about him today" I muttered, referring to the excuse of a father that I had.I didn't know what else to say, there was no way I could tell her that I was being affected with her date planning.It made no sense.And there was no need to
Rosette's POV "Forget about that and promise not to do anything that will affect Kara's stay in college and I can avoid her till I graduate, moreover, she will get tired and everything will be over" I replied instead, smiling at my books."So, will you come to another party if I invite you?" Rowland requested."That depends, will you leave me halfway and be a dick again?" I threw back at him."On my life, I swear I won't do that again, and I also talked things out with Caleb, your relationship will not be in jeopardy because of me," he added. "Hmmm" I drawled out the word relationship, replaying in my mind over and over again.With everything sorted out with Rowland, we quizzed each other on the course and when it was time we found ourselves in the exam hall.After the exams, I waited outside for Rowland so we could go home together, he offered to pick and drop me home for a full week as his penance.I told him it wasn't necessary but he insisted, assuring me that Caleb would tag al
