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

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

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

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?"

I asked Susan who has refused to sleep all because of Rose."Honestly, I'm trying not to be so worried, but I can't help it, this whole city is new to her and I just..""Hey" I said, cutting her short as I pulled her into my arms, "Rose will be just fine, you don't have to worry, okay?""Hmmm" Susan replied while nodding, "I guess I'm overthinking the whole thing ""Yes you are, this is college Susan, and not high school, you should be proud that Rose is taking everything about her life seriously, and being worried is not the best way to encourage her please" I added trying to comfort her."What will I do without you Damon? You are the absolute best!" Susan replied as she kissed me."Everything, I can see the efforts you are putting into Rose, and I want you to know that you are doing well, so why not rest your pretty mind?

It was still raining and now I started to feel cold, as my body trembled lightly.Once we settled into the car, Damon turned on the heater in the car, as silence settled between us, but the tears couldn't stop.Damon took my hands in his, rubbing my hands to provide warmth to my body.Different emotions swirled inside of me and it felt like my chest was going to explode.Guilt.Anger.Hurt.I was feeling all this at the same fucking time, and I hated it, all the feelings and emotions I tried to run away from for the past weeks was now coming back to me in full force.My anger towards Kara was unjustified. I had no right to be angry at her. By the way, what was the difference between her and myself?"Talk to me Rose, why are you crying? I can't stand seeing you hurting like this," Damon urged me.I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out, instead more sobs broke out."You are making me w

Susan asked again.Rose threw a look at me, almost like she was scared, especially with the way Susan was looking at us.How do we explain this situation, it was past midnight, and we were both drenched."Say something, would you?" Susan added again, standing in front of Rose."Mom...I.. Damon" Rose stammered, fixing her eyes on the floor."Rose caught a cold as soon as it started raining and so she called me to come pick her up" I blurted out, the first thing that came to my head."Cold?""Yes, I think it was quite serious, and so she called me to inform me" I added while locking the door as I placed the keys on the table.I was doing everything just to act normal while in a real sense, my heart was literally pounding.I cannot have Susan suspect Rose and I.

    Rosette POV."Wow, this room is large though" I commented, throwing my bags on the bed.We were at the hotel room Damon booked, for us to spend a night before the concert and the entire space was amazing.I pushed the sliding doors and my jaws literally dropped. There was a fucking in-built pool in the bathroom.Not so huge, but wide enough to fit in five massive adults."Just how much does this cost?" I exclaimed, throwing my hands in the air."What? You think I'm some stay-at-home dad with no earnings?" Damon replied, turning the lock of the door as it made a click sound."No, why would you say that?" I turned to face him, while packing my hair in a ponytail because after seeing the pool, I couldn't resist the urge not to swim."I have loads of money Rose, this was nothing" Damon uttered like he was irritated.I covered the distance between us, wrapping my arm around him from behind as he stood in front of the vanity."I know you have loads of money Damon, it was the first thing my

Are we talking about Kara now? I don't understand any of this and getting closer to Caleb is...""Needed Rose," Damon completed even though I was going to say the opposite of that.I couldn't understand any of what was going on, nothing at all and looking at Damon, he was way too relaxed about the issue, but his eyes couldn't hide the worries

I asked, tracing her arms with my fingers."A bit" she muttered, batting her eyes at me."Don't do that again" I warned."Why? It was...""Don't insult me by using a word to describe what happened, no word will ever be enough for it" I interrupted, cutting her short."You are right about that, but then I don't want you to hold back anymore w

    Rosette's POV I could see his resolve weakening and for the first time since he turned to face me, his eyes dropped from my face, taking in my entire body.I took advantage of this momentary weakness and then I wrapped myself around him.Instantly his whole body stiffened, eliciting a deep groan from him. This feeling was different, we were both naked, our skin melting against each other.I dragged my hands slowly all over this back until they landed on his ass. Fuck.Where I got the boldness from, I had no idea, but I loved the feeling of being in control because at this moment I was in control.I could feel Damon's resolve leaving his entire body but he didn't hug me back, he just stood still like a fucking my statue and then I got another idea.God save me, but I don't really want to be saved, so many crazy ideas in one day, I might be out of ideas for the rest of my entire existence."Hmmmm" I moaned, rubbing myself against Damon's dick, and then I grabbed his ass."Rose!"

    Damon's POV."So you will be going to the concert with Rose?" Susan asked with uncertainty."Am I supposed to leave her all alone at home? You know Rose is vested in this concert, she is a huge fan of Diego and I don't understand why you would want her to sit out of this opportunity" I countered. I stopped to catch my breath as sweat dripped down my face.Instead of using the in-built gym at the house, I decided to come out for a run, just to clear my head.The thought of being under the same roof with Rose and not being able to talk to her still, drove me insane.I needed out.And to run was the best escape.Along the line, I received a call from Susan, interrupting my music. With one tap on my earbuds the call connected and we got talking.Only for her to bring up the subject of the concert again."I'm just saying Damon, I don't want him anywhere Diego, just in case...i""Listen, Rose is the last person Diego would even want to look at, he's obsessed with Evelyn and his baby, can't

"That's the sexiest thing I have ever heard in my entire life" I whimpered, rocking my hips on him, throwing my head back as the sensation flooded my entire body. "Well this sight of you from this angle, is sexy as fuck, I want to do so many things to you and at the same time, you drive me insane" Damon growled. I leaned forward, meeting his ears, "And I want you to do so many things to me too, how about you start by finding out how wet I'm for you?" I teased in return, eliciting a grunt from Damon. "A tempting offer but I think I wanna pass on it, why don't we talk about yesterday?" Damon questioned, and his hands dropped to my stomach. "What about yesterday?" I asked, acting ignorant of the situation, rocking my hips to gain friction. "I appreciate you trying to act oblivious but this is quite serious Rose, I can'

You seem eager to leave, aren't you enjoying my neat scotch?" He asked, refilling my glass with more liquor.After we had dinner and Rose excused herself, Diana offered dessert but I declined, taking James ' offer of alcohol and then we moved back to the living room."No, it's just getting late and you know Rose is yet to return" I pointed out."Ohh, I will go check on her, she might want some dessert before leaving" Diana answered, rising from the couch."I appreciate that" I said, watching her as she left the living room after kissing James briefly on the lips."So run a tech company?"
