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's POV."Arghhh" I groaned, staring at my reflection in the vanity. I woke up this morning with a slight headache and red puffy eyes.The headache was as a result of my multiple shots last night but it would have been worse if Damon didn't use the cold water treatment on me. I let out a small breath throwing my head over my shoulders as the events from last night replayed all over again in my head.One way or the other, I know that Damon was upset with me and because of my mother's sudden arrival, I couldn't explain everything to Damon, most importantly Rowland's involvement in the whole thing.I picked up my phone and dialed Kara's number but it was switched off. I hope that by now, she will probably be calm and see reasons with me.Diego will never leave Evelyn and her child for her, but why would he flirt with Kara and lead her on?I groaned for the second time, running my hand through my hair as I rolled my eyes. I brought out my planner for the day, but there was nothing
Damon's POV"She was very polite when she asked for my contact and she is Rose's best friend right? I thought it wouldn't mean anything until she started pestering me.""That's not what it looks like here Diego, you entertained her for a while and it seems she got it all in her head" I countered reading the messages on his phone.When I got to Diego's house, he was sober and waiting with a cup of black coffee for me, and so immediately I got down to the business of the day.I told him everything Rose told me and demanded answers from him, and then he went ahead to hand over his phone to me so I could through the messages directly.So at the beginning, it was casual talk, Kara reaching out and just exchanging pleasantries until Kara started pushing forward."I gave her my attention for twenty hours and she fell in love? That's insane, look read properly at a point she was starting to pester me and I had to tell her about Evelyn, I thought she would deter but she was quite persistent."
Rosette's POV.It's been a long time since I had so much fun, doing the little things.Little things, like getting my hair washed and trimmed at the same time, getting my nails done all with my mom.My mom was almost done with her nails when she received a call from the office, calling her back to the office and so she had to go back while I returned home alone.She begged me to come along with her but I was already spent for the day, plus I was yet to study at all, so we said our good-byes and went our separate ways.When I got back home, Damon wasn't back and so I decided to study in the kitchen while having my ice-cream.After some time, my phone rang, it was a call for Kara and with all excitement I answered it."Hey Kara" I chirped, closing my textbook as I dropped my pen as well, giving her call utmost importance."What kind of a person are you Rose?" came her harsh reply as the smile on my face dropped instantly."Excuse me?""You heard me right! I told you something and you we
Damon's POV."What do you mean by that?" Rose questioned flatly."After I gave her all the warning, that's exactly what she told me, that she knows that there is something going on between us" I answered, taking a spoon out of Rose's ice cream."I don't understand how you can be so laid back about this..." Rose started again, her voice laced with dread, panic written all over her face."Do you believe that? She is only saying it to get to us Rose, all you have to do is ignore her and stay away from her," I replied, savoring the flavor of the ice cream.I couldn't remember the last time I had ice cream, and here I was casually eating from her tub like it was my favorite snack.Rose was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice this. "What exactly did you say to her?" Rose asked again."Something along the lines of her being a liar and saying rubbish, but we need to be very careful, extra careful" I added again."Will that solve anything?" She asked again."For now, yes. You
Rosette's POV I spent the last two days of my freaking holiday, crying, sobbing and grieving over my relationship with Damon.For some reason I just couldn't get that way he looked at me in the kitchen off my head, like I was throwing myself at him, even though I was. But it has always been our thing and we have been effortlessly shameless about it not until now.Reality dawned on me and it sure did sting like a bitch.For the past thirty hours, no one even bothered to look out for me, I was Damon found ways to keep my mother preoccupied so she doesn't see me in this state with no explanation to give or whatsoever.So indirectly, he was saving us. And that was great.I decided to tear my pathetic self out of the bed, shower, put my room together and then sort out my clothes for tomorrow.After forty hours of crying and sobbing, I decided to put myself together, there was no need crying over split milk, even though I would have preferred if Damon and I ended things on a lighter note.
Rosette's POV "What do you mean by it's over?" Clara probed further."Don't worry about the details really, it's not of any significant importance what country are you travelling to?" I asked in response, changing the directive of the question."Oh..we are taking a quick stop in Italy, and I don't know, we will decide on something when we get there" Clara answered, pouting her lips."Really? I love that for you""Thank you,"We spent the next two hours, talking about the town and the people, while Clara filled me in on some crazy stuff that happened in her past relationships, my mind kept drifting back to Damon."So school starts in two days right?""Yes, excited for another semester" I replied."You don't sound excited," Clara pointed out.My lips broke into a small smile as I wiped my mouth with the napkin."Trust me, I'm. It's going to be a lengthy lonely ride, and it's no big deal" I added, trying to sound as convincing as ever.There is no Caleb..No Rowland.No best friend.Jus
Rosette's POV "Are you sure you are ready for this?" Damon asked, his hands roaming all over my body."Yes, I want this" I answered,. nodding my head, as he pushed me back slightly and then he stood in front of me.His eyes hooded with lust and desire, my heart skipped a beat as I swallowed hard, spreading my legs before him."Rosette..." He drawled out, raking his eyes all over me and then his gaze settled on one of the toys and then he picked the clamps."The lights" I muttered, without taking my eyes off him."Ashamed?" He threw back at me."No... just"""I want to see all of you in the light, are you going to back out?" He challenged, undoing the buttons of his shirt.On seeing his hard chest and perfect abs, my mouth watered as the desire to run my hands all over his chest, filled me and a slight whimper escaped my lips.As if on cue, Damon smiled as he proceeded to pull down his pants dragging it slowly on the intent of teasing me."Never took you for such a tease" I pointed ou
Damon's POV A fucking invitation.I raised my glass of whiskey downing it in one single gulp. The fear of the end that I wasn't prepared for was close, so close and we both knew it would end.I mean a hundred days, it's a definite number of days.A loud sigh escaped my lips as I threw my head back, fixing my gaze on the ceiling.After this night, I wonder if I would be able to commit myself in my relationship with Susan.Last night.The last night is finally here and now I'm chickening out and it isn't supposed to be this way.I took a deep breath and reached out for the bottle when it struck me. I couldn't afford to get drunk, not on this night. I need to be in my full senses and in control.Always in control.I released my hold on the bottle as I stood up from the chair, my eyes staring at the staircase, and before I could think of anything else, I was already on the stairs - on my way to her.Immediately I pushed the door open, I heard soft whimpers, coming from under the blanke
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
