Rosette's POV "Maybe, Evelyn needed something, and Diego went out with her, and what was that all about?" I half yelled at him, taking my seat."What do you mean?" "You were unnecessarily rude to Rowland and for what?" I pointed out, since he was stuck at playing ignorant like he had a zero idea of whatever the fuck he was doing."Rude? I wasn't the one smiling at him like he was all that and more, didn't Caleb say you should stay away from him?" Damon fired back."Excuse me? So I can't smile at anyone now because?""You are missing the point here and I wonder why" Damon answered, reaching out for the glass of water on the table."Just because Caleb says I should stay away from Rowland means I would, and I won't stop smiling at anyone that stops to have a conversation with me" I added, with a frown as I crossed my arms over my shoulder."Once again, missing the point" "I'm not missing the point Damon, I totally get you, I'm not staying away from Rowland only because You and Caleb w
Rosette POV Bang!Damon shut the door with a loud bang and at the same time, pushing me against the door as he closed the distance between us.Immediately I opened my mouth to protest, he swallowed my mouth in a fiery kiss. He was everywhere, taking and consuming me.I could feel his hands all over me, and the only thing I could do was hold onto his shirt as he ravaged me completely. One minute I was standing and the next, Damon carried me up, my legs instantly locking around him, like they knew where they belonged, as he kissed me senselessly.Whimpers escaped my lips as Damon's hands sneaked up my thighs, finding my center wet."Why are you doing this Rose? Trying to provoke me with Rowland? I turn here and there and you keep talking about Rowland, what do you want huh?" Damon groaned, stroking me through my underwear.I threw my head back as moans escaped my lips, it was so easy to get a reaction out of Damon and I loved it."All I want is to scream your name, throughout the nigh
Rosette POV."Oh my goodness, did you pack this much? All for the concert?" I asked Evelyn, throwing myself on the couch.The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed and a text message from Damon, asking me to spend the rest of the day with Evelyn, until evening when the concert will start.It was easy to locate Evelyn's room because the moment I walked out of the room after brushing my teeth, there was a staff member waiting right outside the door for me."Have you been waiting here all night?" The words slipped out of my mouth."Not at all, Mr Damon told me you will be awake at this exact time" the staff member answered."Ohhhh""I will lead the way"I followed the staff all the way to Diego's suite, and if I thought the room Damon booked was large, this one was outwardly magnificent.And the state of the room was a complete wonder.Evelyn sat in front of the vanity two, with two stylists over her, one touching her face and the other doing her hair."I actually have a shoot before t
Rosette's POV I have never seen a lively pregnant woman like Evelyn. She sang along with Diego and that too on top of her voice. I had to keep holding her down just because I was more aware of her condition.We were in the front row, at a perfect angle to see everything that was happening on the stage, and it was truly beautiful.With every song, the entire crowd sang along, going crazy, everything was perfect, the instrumentalists just knew what to do, it was a beautiful concert, talk about a day i will never forget.After Diego's band was done performing, there were other guest artists as well to keep it going till midnight exactly.Throughout Diego's performance, Evelyn had a wide smile on her face. I felt her cheeks hurting on her behalf, but the excitement was all over her, she kept clapping, giggling like a child and I could see just how true her love was for him.And my darling so called best friend was going to ruin this? No way. I almost squealed when Diego sent kisses righ
Rosette POV I waited an hour for Damon to regain consciousness, but he wasn't coming around, and so I decided to shower and get rid of the dress I used for the concert.I hurried in the shower so I could be there beside Damon whenever he came around. Diego was thoughtful enough to leave some pajamas for me and so I changed into that and then returned to the bedside.I took a deep breath in, exhaling loudly as I picked up the thermometer to check his temperature and fortunately the fever was dropping and his face was regaining color as well.A sense of relief washed over me, as I leaned backwards on the chair I was sitting on beside the bed.I tried so hard to fight off the wave of sleep that threatened to consume and along the line, I lost, succumbing to it.*****Damon's POV.When I opened my eyes, I was greeted with complete darkness, not just that, there was a weight on me that I couldn't see clearly.I tried to adjust but I could barely move a limp. I don't know how it happened.
Rosette POV.His assurance washed over me as I laced our fingers together, and in a matter of a few minutes, our house came into view. If it was up to me, I wouldn't want us to return home.Probably drive around the city till dusk, but Damon needed rest and I also had college to attend today.A small yawn escaped my lips as Damon drove into the compound, and a wave of sadness washed over me, the minute the car stopped."You are stressed because of me, I'm sorry, you should sleep a bit before time for your classes." Damon started."Yes I will, but I think I'm hungry""I think you are always hungry, Rose, come on," Damon added, and we exited the car together.My eyes scanned the entire house and a wave of uneasiness filled me, something wasn't right but I couldn't place a finger on it, and it was disturbing.Damon pulled me closer to him, throwing his hands around my shoulders, as he flashed a smile at me, almost like he could tell something was wrong with me but didn't want to probe fu
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 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
Rosette's POV "No, you don't get to say that to me, you don't get to ask me to leave because I only came here for you and no one else" I fired back at him.."No, you didn't come here for me, you came to fulfill your duties as Susan's daughter and no one else, why can no one see what she has done to me?" Damon countered, banging his fist on the wall.A small lump grew in my throat as I swallowed hard, I closed my eyes, hiding the tears that threatened to fall and then I took a small step forward.Without knowing what to expect, was he going to push me away or accept me? I couldn't tell.I couldn't read his eyes today, unlike every other day, just by looking at his eyes, I could tell his emotions, I could see whatever he wanted to say but today, Damon put up a wall between us. In his eyes and his heart."Whatever my mom did was wrong, so wrong and I don't support her one bit okay? I..she is broken Damon, and I cannot see her this way, it hurts me seeing you both like this and I'm torn,
