One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Chapter Twenty Eight: Cold Lies.
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

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?

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

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?

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?

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
