Damon's POVIt's been three days since Rosette's birthday celebration. And for the past three days I have stayed away from her.But whenever I thought about that incident I couldn't help but burst into laughter.Susan was this close to catching us, but fortunately Rosette was smarter and I was able to escape.Everyone settled back to their normal routine, Susan occupied with work and Rose became busy with school and all the college activities.And there is me, I don't know what I have become but for now, there was peace.Rose didn't make any more advances towards me and neither did I, we both acted civil with one another.We had dinner together on nights where Susan couldn't make it, the bonding she wanted to happen between Rose and I was slowly starting to take place and for once I wasn't going to let my desires get in the way.It was the end of the week which meant another round of groceries shopping for the household and so I decided to do it. It was the best way of clearing my min
DAMON POV“Sleek car,” Kara commented.“Thank you?” I added without taking my eyes off the road, the only reason why I was doing this was all because of Rose. Yes, driving to the other side of the city just for Rose.“Do you have more of this?” she asked again, as her eyes wandered all over.“Yes”“That is cool, I have been so busy settling down with school and my Granny’s health issues, Rose has been asking me to come over but i haven’t had the time yet” She added again.“Oh, I’m sorry about that,” I responded.“You dont have to be sorry, you know old age comes with this thing, the sickness and the constant drugs, she will be fine, you tell me are you always this quiet?” she asked. “Pardon?” “I mean, Rose says you are actually a cool person but now you are acting all shy with me, dont be like that Mr Brooks, talk to me…” she insisted.My brows furrowed in deep thoughts trying to come up with something to say, Kara was way too comfortable with me and it made me uneasy.Or was I ov
Rosette's POV"Why do you have a scowl on your face? Come on, I was just joking, tell me what is the matter?" I added again, watering the newly planted flowers."Get up Rose" Damon ordered while slipping hands into his pockets.I raised my brows while sparing a glance at him. What could be the problem now?Why was Damon acting all cold and bothered?I stood up from the floor while taking my gloves off as well."Tell me? Mr Brooks, what has gotten into you today?" I asked again, without taking my eyes off him. "I met Kara today." He stated.Kara?"You met Kara? My best friend? How?" I asked again."At the grocery store, surprisingly she recognized me and even introduced herself" Damon answered, his tone laced with irritation."Okay... I'm sorry I haven't introduced you to her, she has been too busy to come over" I added again, as I could not tell exactly what the issue was."It's not that Rose, Kara, she behaved weirdly with me, I just wasn't comfortable with it" Damon stated."Weird?
Rosette’s POV“Is there something you want to say Rose? You have been playing with your meal for over twenty minutes now” My mom started pulling my attention out of my thoughts.I had no idea how to fix this issue with Damon now, as he wasn't ready to listen to me in any way. I kept throwing glances at him throughout but he didn’t even acknowledge me at all.And that wasn't all. I had bigger news to break to my mother but I was scared of Damon’s reaction to what I was about to say.“But it's your favorite food, why aren't you eating then?” My mom asked again.“Mom i will, but i have something i want to say” I stated while throwing a glance at Damon but he ignored me.“Oh really?” Mom chirped while rubbing Damon’s shoulders, “Would you look at that? Rose has something to say” She repeated, full of smiles."Hmm" came Damon's uninterested reply.Ever since she approached me, asking if i was going to help her out at the garden and i accepted, she has been way too happy, and that happin
Rosette's POV"Don't you like flowers?" Caleb asked, breaking down the silence for the third time as I enjoyed a piece of artwork.It's been an hour of us hanging around the gallery. I have been taking my sweet time to move from one art piece to the other and it's simply because I enjoyed it and I am completely fascinated by it.Another thing that kept me going, was how mesmerizing the artworks were, from one piece to the other I was greatly impressed.But I couldn't say the same for Caleb.There was no single trait that showed that he was actually interested in this, he kept sighing again and again while raking his eyes all over the pieces I admired.It would take a creative mind only, to appreciate an art and I agree with that."Why?" I asked back as I was now reminded of the lovely bouquet in my hands, if there was a way to squeeze the bouquet and put it in my bag, I would have done it, but it wasn't so I guess I'm stuck with it for now.By the time I return home with these flowers
DAMON’S POV A sigh escaped my lips as I turned on the television to watch a soccer match. I was home alone as Susan and Rose went out to do some shopping.For the past one week, their relationship has been steady, Susan was making an effort, and it was reflecting on Rose. On some days, Susan got back home before and she would always make dinner with Rose.I was happy that they were getting along and Susan? She was literally the happiest. And with Rose, it was neutral, there were a lot of things unsaid between us, but I swept everything under the carpet.Susan was happy and I was at peace with myself. Or not.With the match going on, I decided to grab a bowl of popcorn and coke to munch on while watching the match.Just as I was about to step into the kitchen, I heard the doorbell ring, causing me to halt in my steps. My brows happened in thought wondering who it might be as I found my way to the door. It was impossible for Rose and Susan to be back at this hour as it wasn't up to tw
Damon's POV"You say what?" I threw back at him trying not to act surprised but I was."I know this is very awkward Damon, I have come to you as a man, I need your help to get Rose's attention, I want her to be mine"Caleb added oblivious to the turmoil I was going through at the moment.My hands closed into a fist as I tried to keep my emotions in check while listening to Caleb's dilemma."You understand me right?" "What?""My feelings for Rose are genuine, please believe me" Caleb insisted."I don't understand why you are telling all this to me, Rose should be aware of the feelings you have for her and not me" I chipped in before he could say anything else."Yes, I know that as well, but Rose said she wasn't ready to get into any relationship for now, she said she is trying to heal from the hurt of a previous relationship," Caleb replied as my eyes widened instantly.Previous relationship?Hurt?What are all these new things I keep learning about Rose?But then she told me she has n
Rosette POVNormal.My life has been completely normal for the past few days.Life was starting to feel real once again, I was busy with school, and hardly saw Damon around.It felt like he was keeping his distance away from me and no matter how many times I tried to start a conversation with him, he just gave dead replies frustrating all my efforts."Are you done packing all the snacks you need?" My mother asked."Yes mom, and a bit of caffeine to keep us all through the night " I answered, closing the bag.My mom was worried because I will be spending the night at college, studying with Kara. It was a student thing and I was excited to try it out."You have to be extremely careful Rose, if anything goes wrong, promise me you will call immediately?" She asked again covering the distance between us as she hugged me.The past weeks have been a bit pleasant for us, ever since my birthday.Mom was doing everything she could, to be present in my life and I appreciated it just that I felt
