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? 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
Rosette's POV.I made it out of the building, with my head bowed and my face teary. Despite how many times Damon's secretary called me, I ignored her running out of the building.I knew without a doubt that there would be questions in everyone's mind, especially those present at the reception area, but it wasn't my cross to carry.Damon would deal with it, after all he was good at taking care of things. Luckily for me, there was a cab right outside the building and I slid in immediately, closing the door with a loud bang which must have scared the driver."Please drive" the words escaped my lips faintly.The cab driver hesitated for a second, looking at me through the rearview mirror with a worried look on his face...like he pitied me or something."Charris Avenue, house twenty" I added, giving him an address."Miss...you...""Can you please fucking drive?" I said, raising my head as I wiped the tears off my mess.I was a complete mess.But the last thing I needed was pity from a str
Rosette's POV"What did you just say?" Damon threw back at me, his eyes wide open as his gaze fell down to my stomach.It was now or never."I have been feeling a bit funny for the past few days and so I decided to go get drugs to subside the fever and I ended up taking a pregnancy test and it's positive" I answered, skipping the whole part on how the sales clerk and I had to drag over the meds and all.And at the same time, I opened my bag, brought out the stick and placed it on the table.So he could see it.And the next thing Damon broke into a sadistic laughter as he reached out for the stick, shaking his head as he brought it closer."I don't understand how any of this is funny to you" I stated, my brows furrowing."It's not? Cause I never imagined in my life that you would stoop so low, what are you trying to achieve with this Rosette?" He countered, with a dismissive tone."What?" I gasped, holding the edge of the table tightly as I tried to process his vile words."This... You
Rosette’s POVCrying wouldn't change the fact that I was pregnant right? But it could give Damon and I a chance to be together.I know I sound delusional, and it was unexpected but the deed has been done and there is nothing else that I can do about it.So I picked myself up and headed to Damon's office.He needed to know this truth. And even if he wanted to deny his feelings for me, he would never be able to deny the child I'm carrying for him.I didn't mean to get pregnant, but I guess that's what happens when you have a dozen rounds of unprotected sex and I forgot to keep up with my pills.I was nervous. Tensed. And scared. So scared.I never saw this coming, I never wanted it but my pregnancy was about to change everything.Damon and I could hide and play around right under my mother's nose, but I wouldn't be able to hide pregnancy forever. I gripped the hem of my dress tightly, the tiny bit of happiness growing inside of me disappeared instantly.If this revelation should come
DAMON’S POVI have never been addicted to drugs or the other kinds, yet I found myself suffering the fate of one in withdrawal. Withdrawal from the woman that made me feel whole. Even though I didn't realize it until now. I couldn't stop thinking about her. “I love you Damon” Her sweet voice resounded in my head, over and over again. It was a statement, a fact that we both couldn't deny but I did. I walked away from her love, over and over again. What sort of man would walk away from his marriage and settle for the daughter of the woman he married? I didn't want to be that kind of guy.Not when Susan needed me more than ever. I made a decision to suppress every ounce of emotion I had towards Rose, even though I knew I was hurting her, but I was hurting more. The need to see her, hold her and just feel her kept growing inside of me every single day and yet there was nothing I could do. She avoided me like a plague and then I found a way to convince myself that it was for the best
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
