One Hundred Days with My Step-Father. Chapter Twenty Three: Two Unwanted Visitors
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 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 POV"You both made me race here for nothing" I said, settling on the floor."For nothing? We have been planning this for days..." Rowland countered, handing a cup of iced lemonade to me, exactly what I needed."Huh really? Then instead of agreeing to meet me at the cafe you should have just changed location or something" I replied."Where is the fun in that? Well with the way you came rushing, it's evident you care about Caleb, so.. actions over words right?" Rowland said.At this point I had no idea if I should be grateful that Rowland was here, also because he was been to cheesy, which was off for him.I liked the surprise, the effort and all just that I wasn't ready for it mentally, I thought I would just meet Caleb at the cafe and we would talk things out and get over everything, have a burger or two which wouldn't take so much time.But from the looks of it, it seems like I would be spending the rest of my day here, it best I update Damon about this recent development.I

Susan answered, rolling her eyes as she stood up as well, walking towards the cabinet."Mom! Damon only offered and it was a great idea, what would you rather have me do for the summer? Bartend at a club or what?" Rose interrupted."As if, you? In a club please...you cannot stand a place like that and that aside, I don't know, I thought you were going to tune into your artistic skills this summer...I had no idea that you would want to work, considering how much you hate my job" Susan defended."Hate your job? Mom get over your head I don't hate your job, I just hate that you put it above everything else, and you know that" Rose countered, opening the refrigerator as she brought out three bottles of water and at the same time Susan returned to the table with the plates and cutleries."Well, there is a term called

Damon's POV "So...how did you spend your day?"I asked, leaning on the kitchen counter as I devoured my order, night burgers. "Well, with Rowland and mom," she answered, taking a huge bite out of it."Rowland? He came over?" I questioned again."Yes he did, we had to sort out some things about Caleb and you know..." She explained."Was Susan home?" Damon asked."Yes, she's been home since, what's happening?" I threw back at him."Well, I don't know, but I have been thinking of talking to her concerning therapy, it would speed up the process I guess" Damon stated."You have been thinking? On your own?""Yes...""Well I thought you guys came to a common ground concerning that issue but I'm extremely glad that I'm unaware of it and I would like to remain so" she pointed out."Oh...are you serious?" I asked, closing my laptop."Yes, very seriously, I just wish there was something I could do with my time, now that I don't have college anymore, I would probably lose it like my mom.." I an

Rosette's POV.It's been three days since the terrible lunch group date and of me successfully avoiding Rowland, after Caleb told me the truth I had sent a message to Rowland, telling him that I wished he told me about everything himself.For two solid reasons, one because I didn't know how to face him, also because I had no idea if I could trust him anymore.Plus I was torn. I knew I had to break things off with Caleb but how to do so was another thing and I was scared.Rowland got rid of Isabel just for Caleb's sake, when he finds out about everything I have done, I doubt I would be able to face his hatred.I could handle the disappointment from my mom, the pain she would go through, the betrayal, hell yes, I could handle anything and I was sure of that but one thing I feared that might shatter me for good was Rowland.How he would feel about this was unpredictable as he is, and for that reason alone I was stalling and my mom kept talking about meeting Caleb again and again, plus sh

Rosette's POV "You shouldn't have spoken to her like that, she just said what everyone was probably thinking as well" Mom whined, pushing the door open as i followed behind her."It's not about what she said, it's how she said it mom, this kind of people do the worst things and yet they are so eager to point out the bad in others, it's just not nice at all" I explained."You are in lecture mode today Rose and I don't understand that, all I know is that you were being rude to Diana and her son, this shouldn't have caused a fight between you and Caleb" she added again, turning on the lights."Please don't give me a list of things I shouldn't do, I know everything you did today was all her idea, which was crazy and uncalled for" I retorted."I had fun, that was the main point of it all" she defended."But that's not who you are mom, you are not a typical suburban housewife, okay? And I don't want you to be, I don't want Diana reflecting that on you, cause I can see the signs already and

Diana started."Wow, this smells delicious" I said, cutting her short as I picked up my cutlery to dig in."I told you, you will love it here, but no, always trying to prove stubborn, and then you forget I'm your mother, you got the stubbornness from me" My mom chipped in."Hmmmm" I drawled out, paying all attention to my meal.We all enjoyed our meal, my mom and Diana, conversing about their own stuff while I kept pondering over what Clara told me.My eyes occasionally landed on her. Her date was an older man, dressed in black suit and was quite handsy, I mean I could see everything from where I sat.He was the affectionate type, his hands on her laps as he leaned into her whi
