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
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's POV "No, you don't get to say that to me, you don't get to ask me to leave because I only came here for you and no one else" I fired back at him.."No, you didn't come here for me, you came to fulfill your duties as Susan's daughter and no one else, why can no one see what she has done to me?" Damon countered, banging his fist on the wall.A small lump grew in my throat as I swallowed hard, I closed my eyes, hiding the tears that threatened to fall and then I took a small step forward.Without knowing what to expect, was he going to push me away or accept me? I couldn't tell.I couldn't read his eyes today, unlike every other day, just by looking at his eyes, I could tell his emotions, I could see whatever he wanted to say but today, Damon put up a wall between us. In his eyes and his heart."Whatever my mom did was wrong, so wrong and I don't support her one bit okay? I..she is broken Damon, and I cannot see her this way, it hurts me seeing you both like this and I'm torn,
Rosette's POV A gasp escaped my lips as I closed the drawer immediately."Oh no, not that one, I'm sorry about that" Mom apologized, rubbing her forehead."I..""Check the second one, it should be there" "Okay"I opened the second drawer and luckily this time around, it wasn't a drawer filled with sex toys.I grabbed the laptop and the headphones before walking back to the bed."What do you want to watch?""A Turkish series" She answered, adjusting the comforter as she handed a pillow to me."Let me guess, Sen Cal Kapimi?" I asked again."Yes" she added, a smile working its way to her face."Alright then"I logged into our netflix account and with the minutes the show was up, we both sat on the bed, our backs resting against the headboard as we watched the series."Do you want some snacks? Can I grab us ice cream or something?" I asked again, thirty minutes into the first episode."No please, don't go anywhere I don't need anything, just stay right here" she replied, wrapping her ha
Rosette POV "What did you just say?" My hands dropped from her shoulders."I was pregnant Rose and I aborted the baby because I didn't want it and last night, Damon found out, he saw the reports and he got angry, he didn't give me a chance to explain and he left the house...I don't know where he's right now and I have been sending him messages, all I want is for him to talk to me...""You did what mom?" The words slipped out my mouth in shock.I just couldn't believe what I was hearing, I mean I refused to."Do you realize how absurd you are sounding right now mom? How could you do that?" I shouted at her, rising from the couch."Do you think it's easy to raise a child, Rose? I'm getting everything I want right now and the baby would...""Hinder you from your progress? And you didn't think it was necessary to talk to him about it?" I shot at her."I don't need a goddamn lecture from you Rose! Okay, I already got enough and I know what I did was wrong, I know that, but it's done, not
Rosette POV Just before I could reply, Rowland intervened, he told Caleb how not good an idea that was considering the fact that Damon was sick, my mom won't be comfortable at the dinner and all that.Caleb apologized for how insensitive he was about the issue and I just waved it off.I was so glad that he was present at this moment, because if it was just Caleb and I, I doubt I would have had a way out.I thanked Rowland a million times in my head and my heart that I almost blurted it out but I just held it in. I made a mental note to thank him afterwards.After we were done with our snacks, it was already late and so we went our separate ways, Caleb in his car, Rowland booked a ride and I drove home.*****Immediately I pushed the main door open, I was greeted with total darkness, both from the kitchen and the living room and so I concluded that my mom was also out.I hung my coat by the door side and then placed my key on the tray while turning on the light.Immediately I heard he
Rosette's POV Instead of going back home, I decided to head to the ice cream parlor. A few minutes ago, I got a message from Caleb. They were still at the ice cream parlour if I would be able to meet up.In this state, it was the best thing for me rather than facing my mom. I knew something was off in the morning before I left for school, I just wished I paid more attention and not ignored it like I did.In less than twenty minutes, I arrived at the parlour, and through the glass walls, I could see Caleb and Rowland, on a table, scanning the menu as they said something to each other.I took a deep breath in, while trying to fix my expression. I needed to come up with something because they will definitely ask questions and I had to give them no reason to suspect.I ran my hand through my hair, while reapplying my lipgloss. Just as I took the next step, I winced in pain.I had completely forgotten how sore I was considering how rough Damon took me, and that was going to disorganize my
Damon’s POV“What the fuck is wrong with you Damon?” Nathan yelled over the phone. Twenty minutes after Rose left, I got a call from Nathan man, was pissed and angry. He must have called Rose and she must have told him about everything.Everything but not how i fucked her and asked her to leave the next second.And I regret it, I deeply do, but I had no idea how to fix it, I couldn't even gather the courage to go after her and stop her. “Say something man, at least, you got me to call her and i did and then you threw her out?” He added again.“Is that what she told you?” I threw back at him.“What she told me doesn’t matter, what you did matters! I know what Susan did to you was horrible, terrible and all that…but that doesn’t mean you get to do that to her, I’m sure she dropped everything for you” “Did you tell her the truth?” “I told her it wasn’t in my position to do so, Susan might tell her once she gets home and now you are deviating from the topic, why did you do that?” “It
Rosette's POV I tried to speak again, but it was already too late. Damon marched forward, with angry precise steps as he pulled me out of the elevator straight to the suite. Immediately the door closed behind us, he pushed me to the wall and then kissed me.Wrong.Ravaged me.He was everywhere, taking and taking, he was angry and he was taking it out on me, at first I tried to stop him at least to get him to talk but all my efforts were futile and I just gave him, I allowed him consume me in the best way possible.I moaned as he raised my legs, so I could hook it around his waist while pushing my dress up and at the same he worked his pants and in the next few seconds, I could feel his cock seeking entrance.Fuck.This was pure madness but I was so turned on. I could feel my wetness dripping down my legs as the sounds of my moans and his grunts mixed together, echoed in the room."Fuck" I cursed out loud as he slammed into me, no warning, no foreplay well apart from the aggressive ki
Rosette's POV There was something off about today, I could feel it in the air, Rowland kept dragging me out of my thoughts, again and again and I apologized countless times but yet.I couldn't fight off the urge to call Damon and with every passing second it increased drastically. We were on our way to the college garage after the exams when my phone rang.It was an unknown number.I paused on my tracks as I stared at my screen, all possible imaginations running through my head."Aren't you going to answer that?" Rowland asked for the second time."Yeah, I will..but then it's an unknown number and I'm skeptical about it" I replied."Should I take it for you?"My eyes danced between my screen and Rowland, what if it was Damon calling? And he says something inappropriate thinking it's me, how do I explain it?"No, no you just go ahead and meet Caleb, I will take this call and come along" I stated, turning around as I answered the call before Rowland could utter anything. "Hello?""Hey
Damon's POV "Selfish?" "You don't get to call me selfish Damon, I did what I thought was best for you and I, I only had our interest in heart" She added rising from the floor as tears ran down her face."Let me get this right Susan, so you are saying, you got pregnant, aborted the baby, because you felt like it was the best thing for us?" I asked, throwing the papers at her, my tone filled with disbelief."But isn't it? Look at me Damon, do you think I will be able to carry a child for another nine months, and to take care of an infant is something I'm not capable of doing, not now not even tomorrow!" She retorted."So you aborted it because you won't be able to look after your child? It's fine with Rose, she is an adult and fortunately she doesn't need you anymore, you keep missing the point here Susan!""But a small baby will need me Damon, I won't be able to do that, I won't be able to be there every single minute and second showing affection and...""I'm out of here" I fired bac
