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
Rosette POV."Roseeeeeee!" I flew out of my bed on hearing my Mother's scream.It's been four hours since I returned from the supermarket with Damon and since then I have been floating on clouds not until mother's scream broke my reverie.Fortunately, I was able to cover up for Damon, and he said was right, My Mom didn't suspect a thing."Come down darling, we have a visitor" My mom added again and I quickly threw on a dress while packing my hair up in a ponytail and I was out of the room.There was no way I would be leaving my room in a bad shape, not after everything that has happened.On getting downstairs, My Mom and Damon stood by the door with another strange man."Mom?" "Yes baby, come here, meet Damon's friend, he just arrived" My mother announced as she moved aside, revealing a tall lanky man."Hi, you must be Rose," the man said walking towards me with a bright smile on his face.He was tall, not as tall as Damon...wait why am I comparing every jack to Damon?"My name is Di
Rosette's POV"So now that I'm done complimenting your mother on how amazing she cooks, can I just say how gorgeous you look? , I'm mesmerized by your beauty, I mean, I never knew Damon was hoarding you in this city " Diego started taking my hands into his."Oh please.." I tried to say but then Diego cut me short again."Tell me Rose, wait, I can call you Rose right?" "Yeah..""So tell me, what do you think of this city? Do you know I was totally against it when Damon said y'all are moving to Los Angeles of all places?" Diego added."Oh wow," the words slipped out of my mouth as I threw a look at Damon."But Damon here was quite persistent, he was on and on about how he wanted things to be easier for Susan, a great start and all, so do you like it?" Diego continued drawing my attention back to him."Em...it's a nice city I guess" I managed to say while dragging my eyes away from Damon.Why was he angry now? Even if anyone else couldn't notice it, I did.His mood took a different turn
Rosette's POV"I don't know, Mom is...""You don't know? If I hadn't come here, do you know what would have happened then?" My mother chipped in."Mom, can you just stop? You are exaggerating the whole issue," I retorted, " I was starting to get angry now.She wasn't even giving Diego nor I a chance to speak or at least explain."Exaggeration? What do you know Rose? You are just a child, Damon, listen to me, I saw Diego and Rose standing really close to each other and I'm not comfortable with that" My Mother blurted out despite all my protest.I lowered my eyes, fixing my gaze on the floor as I felt Damon's glare on me.Silence."Didn't you hear me Damon? I said...""Susan, it's..." Damon paused as he walked up to my mom, and then he pulled her to the chair."Man, it's seriously nothing of that sort, we both got carried away and.." Diego started again."That's enough Diego please, Susan is... You know what, why don't you leave, I will call you, once I settle everything" Damon said, cu
Damon's POV."Make sure to get the work done, I want the reports sent to my email in the next one hour " I barked at my secretary and then ended the call before she could even protest it.It was almost midnight and yet the tension from the dinner time still hovered around the house.After Rose stormed out on us; Susan and I. It took me about an hour to calm her down.But she was agitated and nothing I said was getting into her. In between our conversations, she got a work call and that was the end of it.Now it was time to handle my rage.I have been sitting at the kitchen counter, drowning myself with a good bottle of whiskey.All the events that happened earlier continued to replay in my head and I couldn't imagine just how close Diego was to Rose that got her furious so bad.Was Rose lying about Diego coming close to her? If not, How close then? Did they kiss before Susan walked in on them? Or rather if Susan hadn't walked in on them, Will Rose have given in to Diego's temptations?
Rosette's POV. "I..." "Stay right there Rose, you shouldn't be here, what are you doing here?" Damon threw at me as a scowl rested on his face. After I left my mom in Damon's hands, I went back to my room to get over the whole situation, but all I did was cry. The only thing that occupied my mind was the way Damon looked at me, the first time my mother dropped the news on him. He stared at me, with disappointment, in his eyes and it broke my heart. "Why shouldn't I be here Damon?" "Do not give a question in place of an answer, go back inside" Damon ordered in response. "Hear me out at least Damon please" I pleaded as tears rolled down my eyes. "There is nothing left for you to say, you have done enough, as a matter of fact you have also said enough, what more do you want to say Rose?" Damon questioned taking a step back as he ran his hand through his hair. "Damon...I need you to believe me, I promise I didn't come close to Diego, he just got carried away while flirting with
Rosette POV One week passed and I didn't feel better.Not even a single bit.I buried myself with the challenging courses I picked up for the semester and even when my mom saw the course form, cause I need her signature for it, she queried my decision.But then I assured her I could do it. I need to do it. For the past week I fell into a routine.My bed, the kitchen, college till the evening and my bed again till the next day. I had all my meals in my room, avoiding Damon and my mom not that they were even home. it's been one date night after another for them and they were just in their own bubbles.But then I couldn't hide forever. Lately I have been having night fevers, that just seems to disappear in the morning. At first I thought it was because of how much I had cried but then yesterday after the last class, I was heading towards the library, I was dizzy and almost tripped down the stairs but someone caught me.So I decided to get some drugs to probably take care of the fever.
Rosette's POV I spent the last two days of my freaking holiday, crying, sobbing and grieving over my relationship with Damon.For some reason I just couldn't get that way he looked at me in the kitchen off my head, like I was throwing myself at him, even though I was. But it has always been our thing and we have been effortlessly shameless about it not until now.Reality dawned on me and it sure did sting like a bitch.For the past thirty hours, no one even bothered to look out for me, I was Damon found ways to keep my mother preoccupied so she doesn't see me in this state with no explanation to give or whatsoever.So indirectly, he was saving us. And that was great.I decided to tear my pathetic self out of the bed, shower, put my room together and then sort out my clothes for tomorrow.After forty hours of crying and sobbing, I decided to put myself together, there was no need crying over split milk, even though I would have preferred if Damon and I ended things on a lighter note.
Rosette's POV "What do you mean by it's over?" Clara probed further."Don't worry about the details really, it's not of any significant importance what country are you travelling to?" I asked in response, changing the directive of the question."Oh..we are taking a quick stop in Italy, and I don't know, we will decide on something when we get there" Clara answered, pouting her lips."Really? I love that for you""Thank you,"We spent the next two hours, talking about the town and the people, while Clara filled me in on some crazy stuff that happened in her past relationships, my mind kept drifting back to Damon."So school starts in two days right?""Yes, excited for another semester" I replied."You don't sound excited," Clara pointed out.My lips broke into a small smile as I wiped my mouth with the napkin."Trust me, I'm. It's going to be a lengthy lonely ride, and it's no big deal" I added, trying to sound as convincing as ever.There is no Caleb..No Rowland.No best friend.Jus
Rosette's POV "Are you sure you are ready for this?" Damon asked, his hands roaming all over my body."Yes, I want this" I answered,. nodding my head, as he pushed me back slightly and then he stood in front of me.His eyes hooded with lust and desire, my heart skipped a beat as I swallowed hard, spreading my legs before him."Rosette..." He drawled out, raking his eyes all over me and then his gaze settled on one of the toys and then he picked the clamps."The lights" I muttered, without taking my eyes off him."Ashamed?" He threw back at me."No... just"""I want to see all of you in the light, are you going to back out?" He challenged, undoing the buttons of his shirt.On seeing his hard chest and perfect abs, my mouth watered as the desire to run my hands all over his chest, filled me and a slight whimper escaped my lips.As if on cue, Damon smiled as he proceeded to pull down his pants dragging it slowly on the intent of teasing me."Never took you for such a tease" I pointed ou
Damon's POV A fucking invitation.I raised my glass of whiskey downing it in one single gulp. The fear of the end that I wasn't prepared for was close, so close and we both knew it would end.I mean a hundred days, it's a definite number of days.A loud sigh escaped my lips as I threw my head back, fixing my gaze on the ceiling.After this night, I wonder if I would be able to commit myself in my relationship with Susan.Last night.The last night is finally here and now I'm chickening out and it isn't supposed to be this way.I took a deep breath and reached out for the bottle when it struck me. I couldn't afford to get drunk, not on this night. I need to be in my full senses and in control.Always in control.I released my hold on the bottle as I stood up from the chair, my eyes staring at the staircase, and before I could think of anything else, I was already on the stairs - on my way to her.Immediately I pushed the door open, I heard soft whimpers, coming from under the blanke
Rosette POV"Are you busy?" I asked softly, closing the door behind me. "No, you have my attention" my mom answered, throwing her legs out of the bed.After grabbing my snacks from downstairs, instead of heading to my room I decided to drop by and check on my mom.Luckily for me, I didn't have to knock because the door was slightly open and when I peeped in, she caught me and asked me to come in."I just wanted to apologize for everything" I started, fixing my eyes on the floor."Will you ever get tired of hating me?" She threw back at me instead.Immediately my eyes widened, "I don't hate you" the words slipped out of my mouth."You don't?""Mom...""Will I ever be that to you and truly be it? Every second our relationship takes a step forward, something comes up and we take three steps backwards, it's exhausting" she added again.This time around, she was so right. I was teary, but didn't want to show it so I wiped the corner of my eyes stylishly."I don't want us to keep going ba
Rosette POV After an hour passed of thorough questioning and penning down statements, the officers promised to remain in touch with Damon, once the order was processed and for the meantime we were asked to restrict our movements.Damon walked the officers out of the house, while my mom picked up herself and headed upstairs, without saying a word to me. She didn't even spare me a glance and now I was starting to feel bad for everything I said earlier, even though a part of me knew that I couldn't blame her entirely for it, it just felt easier putting it all on her.I took a deep breath in, turning around when I met Damon, he was angry at me, as he crossed his arms over his chest."You need to stop Rose," he started."I....""You are hurting but you aren't the only one suffering, your mom isn't happy about this either and so you cannot continue with this attitude," he added again."I can't help but feel that way..." I countered."And I'm not saying your feelings aren't valid, all I'm
Rosette POV "I'm not making this an issue, it's not my fault that you are always on defense mode, you need to cut me some slack Rose, you went out this morning, without informing either of us and then you return with Damon, with takeouts, can't I ask questions?" Mom countered, her hands resting on her hips."Of course you can mom, but then when you... just forget it, can we go inside, there is something I need to discuss with you" I added instead.Arguing with Susan was pointless.We could never agree on something together.Our views were just so different and poles apart."Alright then, go in, I will join you" she said, looking away."Mom, can you please not do that right now? Okay I'm sorry, but this is important," I insisted."How important?""Ronan"At the mention of his name, my mom's hand dropped as she turned around, like she was in search of him."Ronan? Did you see him around here? Did he talk to you?""What are you talking about mom?" I asked, covering the distance between
Rosette POV "What are you doing?" The words slipped out of my mouth as I gripped the car seat tightly."Distracting you""Distracting me? From what exactly?" I asked, shivers running down my spine as Damon's hands moved up my thighs. And my legs? They fell open on their own.I was squirming hard on the car seat but then trying hard not to show it."You will get yourself distracted Damon, we are on the road for Christ sake!" I protested, hiding the smile that threatened to break out of my lips."Let me worry about that, right now my only focus is you, so spread those legs wider for me my sweet Rose, I want to feel you..." He said without taking his eyes off the road but for some reason I felt like he was watching me."Damon..." I whimpered as he pushed my panties aside, his thumb coming in contact with my clit."Hmmmm" he hummed in approval, stroking me, and then he plunged two fingers inside of me.My eyes flew open instantly, a loud moan escaped my lips, from the corner of my eyes I
