Chapter 8: Damon’s POV “Suzie, everything will be fine, you just have to take it easy, okay?” I said comforting Susan.Few hours past noon, I was laying on the couch after responding to all my emails when Susan walked in, almost in tears. This was the first time in ages that Susan was returning back from work at that time. Immediately i rushed to her and she broke down in tears, turns out the deal she was working on didn’t pull through.“I put in so much work into this baby, so many sleepless nights, and now all my efforts are now in vain, what am I supposed to do?” she added, sobbing against my chest.“We will sort it out my love, we will figure it out so please stop crying now, i have told you before, you don't have to do all this, we can live comfortably and you don't have to work at all” I replied.“Damon what are you saying? You know my work is everything to me, I have built all this with my sweat, I can't step back now” Susan countered.Of course.Her work was her everythi
Damon's POV."You..." I stuttered, turning to face Susan as she closed the distance between us. Fuck no. What do I say to Susan now? All the hairs on my body stood as she moved closer to me. "You are here? It's strange," she added again, without taking her eyes off me. I felt like she was scanning my face, waiting for me to make a mistake. "Em, I was passing, and I noticed the door was left open, and then I got curious to see what her setup looks like. It's nothing serious," the words slipped out of my mouth as I started moving toward the door before Susan could throw another question, but then she caught up with me. "Can I ask you something, Damon?" "Do I have a choice?" I threw back at her, my tone sounding harsh. "Damon..." "You can ask whatever it is you want to," I added again. "Tell me, have you ever been in here before?" Susan demanded. "What?" "I mean, is this your first time being in Rose's room?" She asked again. What do I say? "Yes, that is exactly why I was curi
Chapter 10Rosette POV"Rose...?" "Yes, it's me, why are you so surprised to see me?" I threw back at him while drinking in his entire body.But Damon wasn't reacting, almost like he was frozen and couldn't move.I clicked my tongue taking a step forward and it pulled Damon back to earth."You shouldn't be here, what are you doing here?" He asked again, as he turned off the shower.A small chuckle escaped my lips as I crossed my arms over my chest while leaning on the door."What's the hurry?" I asked, referring to the way he grabbed the towel."Are you out of your mind Rose?""Out of my mind? You know I have seen you, I mean I have had you in me, nearly twice, you don't have to be shy step daddy" I drawled out.I know I wasn't supposed to be flirting with him, not after he drew a line, but I couldn't help it.Damon was acting all tense and I expected he would reply to my tease but then he just tried to hide the phone."I want to see," I demanded."What are you talking about?" Damon
Rosette's POV"You are the one I love, Rose. I cannot be your mother anymore; I want to be with you all my life," Damon said to me, taking my hands with tears in his eyes."What are you saying, D?" I asked, my voice shaking; I was literally trembling."You heard me, Rose. I cannot continue to lie to your mother, and I do not want to stay away from you any longer. I want you, Rose; I need you in my life," Damon added again.The rate at which my heart was beating felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. Damon was professing his love for me. But what will happen to my mother? She will be heartbroken beyond words; I wouldn't be able to do that to her. She is my mother, for goodness' sake, and I know how crazy she is about Damon."Please... I can't do this, Damon; I'm sorry," I whispered, and then he kissed me.Instantly, my eyes shot open, and I sat upright, placing a hand on my chest to calm my racing heart, but it wasn't working."Damon," I muttered as my eyes adjusted to the da
Rosette's POVI grabbed a box of juice and cookies from the fridge before walking out of the house. Damon was already in the car, waiting for me. I was surprised that, despite my reaction earlier, he still insisted on driving me to school. He was really fulfilling his role as my DADDY. Sighs.I got into the car, and within minutes, we were on the highway. The silence was thick and uncomfortable as I kept my gaze fixed outside, trying to find this pathetic city attractive."Rose, you know we don't have to do this, right?" Damon started, breaking the silence in the car."Do what?" I asked in response."It's your birthday, for goodness' sake, and it looks like we are mourning. We should be happy; I mean, you should be happy and full of smiles," Damon added with a smile on his face, but he didn't take his eyes off the road.I was still trying to process his words. How could he switch up so easily? I literally gave him an attitude, and then I acted cold towards him, and yet he was still
Damon's POV.It's almost six and neither Susan nor her tempting daughter Rose was yet to arrive.She made me pull off this entire surprise party for Rosette but now she wasn't here and she wasn't taking her calls either.Work was taking a toll on her and I just wanted her to feel better, that is why I agreed to execute the whole plans she has for the party as long as she shows up, but now, I doubt she will be able to.She was supposed to be here by morning but then I got no call from her nor did I see her. I only lied to Rose to cover up so she doesn't get mad at her mom but she kept acting in a strange way.She even made me promise not to leave her mother and I couldn't help but wonder what the reason could be.I tried calling Susan one more time and it went straight to voicemail.A sigh escaped my lips as I scanned the entire living room taking in the mini decorations I was able to pull out.The cake was ready, Pizza, and all of Rosette's favorite cookies and chocolates. I wanted Ro
Damon POV“Rose” I called out while knocking on her door. Both Mother and daughter were both pissed for different reasons but i wanted this day to be special for Rose even though her mother couldn’t be here.And I was determined to make it happen, afterall i have already given my word to Susan and I will have to do it.“Listen Rose, open up we need to talk” I added, Just as i was about to knock on the door, the door opened revealing Rose’s teary face.“Hey” the word slipped out of my mouth which was the wrongest thing to say.“Hey you too” Rose replied with a smile on her face as she opened the door even wider, it was an invitation for me to step in.And I gladly took it. I will do anything to be in her space for a solid twenty fours or always. Her vanilla~lavendar scent calmed me in a different way.“I shouldn’t have reacted that way, I’m sorry, I just couldnt hold it anymore” Rose started pulling me out of my thoughts as she walked back to her bed which was quite messy.“I understand
Rosette's POV"You know what? Forget it, I don't need anything now but that doesn't mean you don't owe me, I will ask for a gift when I think of something " I answered."Are you sure about that?" Damon asked."Yes, tell me something else Damon" I demanded and at that same moment, the waiter returned with our order.He was a fine young man and he had the Italian features written all over him. It was obvious he was trying to flirt with me especially with the way his eyes lingered on me and I was responding just to spite Damon.Riling him up and watching him fight for control has to be my favorite thing to do."I hope you enjoy your meal" The waiter said while flashing a smile at me."I'm sure we will, thank you so much" I added in response and then he left."I just hope it tastes as good as it looks, I would hate to disappoint my taste buds" I said inhaling the aroma of the meal."Well, I hope it's as salty as you want it to be," Damon replied curtly.My lips curled into a smile as I tr
