One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Chapter Seventeen: Offer Taken.
Rosette's POV"Don't tempt me Rose..."Damon growled as I shimmered out of the dress, revealing my black matching set of lingerie. I have been ready for this all through the night.So ready.Damon's Adam apple bobbed, as he took a step back but his eyes never left my body, and it made me nervous, but I still kept a brave face. I felt hot all over, especially with Damon's eyes on me, drinking me in."You gave me your word Damon, why are you backing out now?" I threw at him again, stepping out of the dress."You..."Before he could complete his statement, I brought out my phone and connected it to the home stereo and a second later, a slow song burst through the speakers filling the room."Don't do this Rose please," Damon begged as I swayed my waist slowly without taking my eyes off him as I moved closer to him.Before Damon could take a step back I grabbed his hand, wrapping it around my waist.Now, there was barely an inch of space between us, as our breaths mixed."I'm offering myse

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

One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. I'm Yours.
Rosette POV "I need to tell you something" I said barging into Damon's office."Sir, I tried stopping her but she wouldn't listen and..." His secretary followed behind me.Instead of heading home, I changed my destination and came over to Damon's office.I remembered he told me that he was going to be here today for an important meeting and unfortunately that meeting was going on at the moment.My mouth fell open as my eyes danced around the men, or rather investors sitting around the table in their fancy daper suits."It's okay Jane, I will handle it" Damon said rising from his chair as he adjusted his suit without taking his eyes off me."I'm sorry I had no idea...I thought she was just trying to..." Before I could complete my statement, Damon grabbed my arm, placing a finger on his lips as I went silent."Excuse me gentlemen, I will be right back" He said, pulling me out of the office.Once we were out, I found the courage to speak again, "Damon please, I didn't mean to ruin your

Rosette's POV.Ronan.It has to be him.My hands trembled as I took a step back in fear, my eyes darting around in search of him, but there was no one around other than regular students just like Rowland and I."Rose..Rose are you okay?" Rowland asked placing his hand on my shoulder."Yes" I managed to utter, but I was far from okay, I was suddenly so self aware as I continued looking around."So, what's the answer?" Rowland asked again."Can we leave here?" I countered, putting my phone back into the bag."Emm...is that like a yes?""No...that's like a we should leave now, we need to hurry" I answered grabbing his hands as I started walking fast."Rose..calm down" Rowland called after me but I didn't stop, I kept pulling him and just as we got to the gate he suddenly stopped."Come on Rowland, this is important please..." I said, turning to face him."You know I would go anywhere with you right? But I have a class and I cannot miss it" Rowland stated, taking me by surprise."You have

Rosette POV "Rosee" my name left his lips, he was completely surprised on seeing me there."Hi Rowland" I replied, trying to be as polite as possible, without stopping, the last thing I needed right now was a heated conversation of any sort.Especially not with Rowland.Just as I walked past him, he caught my arm, we were still in the professor's office and so I couldn't react."Please Rose, can we talk?" He asked with a small smile on his face, so that the professor doesn't suspect anything."We have nothing to talk about please" I replied, placing my hand over his as I stylishly removed his hand."You don't have to do this Rose, you know...""Is everything okay Rose? Rowland you can come in, I have been waited for you" the professor interrupted saving me unknowingly."Everything is fine, I will take your leave now" I answered before he could speak up and then I walked out of the office.I sighed, feeling relieved as I walked out of the building, I know avoiding an issue is never th

Rosette's POV After our little romantic dance in the sitting room, Damon and I found ourselves in the kitchen.While I refilled my water bottle, Damon munched on some snacks, there were lots of papers over the counter top, his glasses and his laptop."Can I ask you something?" "Sure""Is everything okay with you? I mean with work and all, you have been way too busy and engaged with it recently so..."Damon sighed, taking a deep breath as he dropped the bowl of chips in his hands, "Actually work is crazy but there's nothing you should be worried about" "Well, it's just that I have never seen you work so hard and you look worried mostly" I pointed out.Damon forced a smile as he walked closer to me, "I will handle everything, and that's enough about me, what are your plans for tomorrow?" He asked, tracing my cheeks with his thumb."Well...I was going to drop by at school, start my registration for the next semester and after that, mom and I are going to the dentist" I answered."Hmm
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Dancing in the Dark.
Rosette POV.I kept tossing on the bed, endlessly, despite everything that has happened, for some reason I still couldn't sleep.I was thoroughly tired, but yet wide awake, the scene with my mom replaying over and over again in my head. Coupled with many others.The holiday was almost over, so was our pact with Damon. We had only two weeks and two days left.And with school resuming that means I will have to face Caleb and Rowland again. I already promised my mom that we are cool as friends, but it was far from it.Throughout the last semester, I spent half of it avoiding Kara. At some point, I avoided Caleb and now I was going to repeat it again?Exhausting.I wondered if he was also thinking about it the way the thought weighed in my mind.A small sigh escaped my lips as I sat up, turning the room lights on as I reached for my water bottle, only to discover that it was empty.A reason to go downstairs.I yawned, throwing my legs off the bed as I slipped my feet into my slippers, bef
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Perfect Daughter.
Rosette's POV "Hey baby, can I come in?" I heard my mother's voice, after about half an hour since I returned to my room."Yeahhh" I answered, sitting up while adjusting the bed covers.I spent the last thirty minutes trying not to think of whatever transpired downstairs as I busied my hands and mind by cleaning up the entire room.The door opened slightly as my mom walked in, her face dried and her eyes a bit red, a solid evidence of how much she had cried."What are you doing?" She asked, closing the door gently behind her."Nothing, just here" I answered, looking around."Are you hungry, should I heat up something for you?" She asked, sitting at the edge of the bed while smoothing her dress.An awkward tension crept its way into the room as an odd silence hung over us."Why is it always weird between us, I'm your mother I shouldn't be scared of you," My mother started again.A slight chuckle escaped my lips as I tossed a pillow towards her, "Why should you be scared of me? Anyways
One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Love Confessions; The Final Truth
Rosette's POV Susan went ahead and told Damon about everything, how she juggled jobs until she came across an offer in a company.On getting there, the CEO developed an interest towards her and then things changed for us.I started getting new toys, gifts and so many new things and the sadness in my mom's eyes was also starting to fade.Soon, she moved me into another proper school and a new house, with attendants. I was starting to have everything well except for her.She was never present.I remember waiting up every night for her to return but ended up sleeping on my nanny's lap.Time passed and by the time I was fifteen, I finally understood everything, the changes, her absence, the price she had to pay to get us comfortable.I watched my mother work her way to the top of her career with Mr Smith beside her. I honestly thought that he was going to end up being my step father, but turns out he was my father's best friend and everything he did for my mom and us? Was for our good."

Susan's POV"I didn't have a choice, he reached out to me, begging and I have been putting him off for years and I just believe after staying in jail for so long that there is a possibility that he might have changed, I don't know..." I tried for months to hide this from Damon while contemplating if I was making the right decision or not.Only for Rose to walk in on me.And now they were both looking at me, like I was some sort of criminal and I hated how it made me feel."That makes no sense Susan, for what reason do you think he wants to be back in Rose's life? What if he wants you back?" Damon questioned."That's ridiculous, I don't have any feelings for Ronan, it's you I love, I love you Damon" I confessed, placing my hands on his chest, while pleading with my eyes."Susan....""I'm a mother Damon, everything I did, I did it as a mother, I only wanted stability in Rose's life, I just...""And what makes you feel like there is no stability in my life mom? I'm very stable, here in

Rosette's POV "I can explain everything Damon, help me talk to her please" my mom pleaded. Damon walked up to me and extended a hand, lifting me up so I could lean on him as I tried to gather my thoughts together."It's really not what you think baby, I only want the best for you" she added again, stuttering."Why! Why are the things you always do so hurtful and then you go ahead to say that you do it for me? How so? You go ahead and make some stupid unreasonable decisions and then say it's for me? I never asked for any of this Mom!""Easy easy Rose...calm down, I seriously have no idea what's going on here and can someone fill me in?" Damon said, wrapping his hand over my shoulders."Ask your wife why she is talking to that man, and promising him things that she will never be able to keep up too" I answered, before Susan could."What man? Is this about Caleb or am I missing something here?""I wish it was about Caleb and I cannot believe that you drove me to the point of saying tha
