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
Damon's POV"You know it's not possible for you to stay awake all throughout the night just for Rose right?" 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? You have a lot of work tomorrow" I reminded her."Yes,
Rosette's POVI couldn't stop crying. Damon covered me with his coat, leading me to his car. 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
Damon's POV "Mom?" Rose gasped as I turned to see Susan, walking down the stairs.She had a frown on her face as she approached us, "Damon you..Rose why are you here?" 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. Not now."Yes mom" Rose added backing up my statement, I was
Rosette's POV.The next day, I came downstairs to meet Damon setting the table, he was making breakfast and so I offered to help.There was no sign of my mother around so I figured she already left for work.Last night, I felt bad for what happened, especially with the way I ran upstairs leaving her and Damon. I'm sure she had questions and Damon had to face it alone.I was responsible for all this, I kept putting Damon in the most awkward situations and still expected him not to react.I don't know how long I have been standing at the foot of the stairs until Damon called my attention."Rose, why are you standing there?" He asked, pulling me out of my thoughts as my eyes locked with his.He looked calm this morning, as small bangs of his hair fell to the sides of his face as his lips curled into a smile."Good morning Damon," I greeted walking towards the table, the aroma of freshly baked banana bread hit my nostrils and my stomach grumbled in response."Hungry?" Damon asked ushering
Rosette POVSelf awareness is a thing.Yes it is.Because my entire body was reacting to way Damon was staring at me, I did not even have to look at him, to confirm that, his eyes followed my every movement and it made me proud in a way?Was that even right?I wanted Damon to stay away from me but the fact that he couldn't keep his eyes away from me, turned me on.I needed some brushes, paints and sheets for my course, I also wanted to start practicing my art once again, after my visit to the Gallery, I got the inspiration that I lost long time ago.I was torn between two paint brushes, and I couldn't even ask Damon for his suggestion, it was obvious that he wasn't the arts kind of person.I have never perceived Damon as a sentimental person, not until his voice broke my trail of thoughts."Size six will be perfect if you want to get the thin lines" Shock.My eyes widened instantly as I turned to face him, "What did you say?""I can see that you are deliberating on this two brushes r
Rosette's POVIn less than five minutes, Damon got out of the shop, holding the bags of everything I picked as he marched towards the car.How I managed to get into the car was still unknown to me, but for a minute, I was able to put myself in check. Or not.I bursted into tears as soon as I got into the car and now that the cries were over, I was sure I looked like a mess.Damon placed everything at the trunk before he opened the driver side and immediately I looked away.Two minutes past and there was complete silence in the car.The tension so thick that even a knife wouldn't be able to cut through.Yes."What do you want from me Rose?" Damon asked breaking the silence.Huge question.Because I wanted everything, Body and Soul.I didn't reply instead I continued wiping the tears that rolled down my eyes when a black kerchief appeared in my vision, and then I turned to look at Damon."You look like a mess" he pointed out and I wanted the car to open up and probably swallow me."You.
Damon's POVI don't know if I have done the right thing or not, but this was what I wanted and I just had to give into it.When Rose confessed her feelings for me, in the name of LOVE, I just knew I had to do something, something to fix it.It was a fact that we were both undeniably attracted to each other, I mean I couldn't think straight whenever Rose was present around me.She affected me that much. But I wasn't in love with her. I loved her mother Susan. Susan is the love of my life and I intend to keep it that way forever, but I couldn't push Rose aside. She seems to have her life and heart hooked on me and that was the reason wasn't going to accept Caleb's offer, or possibly any other offer she will get in the nearest future, which was so wrong.The one hundred day offer was to prove to her that whatever she thinks it's love between us, wasn't. It was Lust. And it's a temporary feeling.One that will definitely go away before the end of our Hundred days pact.All through the dr
