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

    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

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

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..."

    ROSETTE POV "Are you tensed?" My friend, Kara, asked as she nudged my arm. "You've been so quiet, Sweetie." We were seated next to each other at the back of the cab, on our way to a private club. I turned to smile at her, "Uh? No...no! I'm good." I lied. Yes! I didn't feel good at all about what I planned on doing later this evening, but I was way too far gone to back out now. This evening, I would be taking up a bet made by my friend to sign up as a stripper at a private club, just for one night. I've heard stories of how girls made money from being one time strippers, especially if they were physically attractive, but that wasn't why I agreed to do this. I wasn't even doing it for the money, but for the fun of it; the thrill of dancing half naked in front of strangers that I would never meet again. A part of me wanted this because it would be my last attempt at being a rebel, before relocating to Los Angeles to live with my mother and her new boyfriend. Soon, the

    ROSETTE'S POV "Follow me!" He growled, turning to face the manager of the club. I remained rooted to the spot, feeling heat rise within me. I was suddenly sweaty underneath the mask I had on. Within minutes, the handsome stranger before me had made a transfer to clear up the bet. The manager approached me, a sly smile on his face. "When I saw you earlier, I knew you'd raise a lot of money for me. Be back tomorrow morning for your share of the money. Tonight, make sure you satisfy him." He said, winking at me. A bolt of electricity jolted through me. The alcohol was slowly seeping over my senses, but I was not stupid enough to see that I was expected to spend the night with a complete stranger, all because he... "Let's get the hell out of here!" A familiar male voice said besides me, breaking into my thoughts. I felt his hand over mine, as he led me through the crowded club. ~~~~ The car pulled up right outside a large building, and the man at the driver's seat switc

    DAMON POV I waited in the car as my girlfriend, Susan, walked into the crowd in search of her daughter. I was tensed. When Susan first told me she had a daughter, I didn't see it as such a big deal until this morning, when Susan requested that I should drive her to the airport. I closed my eyes, leaning back against the car seat, as I kneaded my fingers over my forehead. I was so not ready to be a step father but I needed to brace myself up for it. I loved Susan, so I had to accept her child too. Moments later, Susan got into the car, talking excitedly at the top of her voice. "Babe! She's here." She giggled, pointing at the backseat. I yanked my head backwards, just in time to see a young lady make her way into the backseat. Her long, blonde hair swayed as she settled into seat, dropped her bags besides her and struggled to strap on her seat belt. "Hello...?" I started to say. She looked up at me with a smile, stretching out her palm towards me, "I'm Rosette."

    Rosette's POV“I know you want me, Rosette” The man before me said, breaking the silence in the room. His voice was low and husky. I was stark naked, underneath the bedsheets and I clutched it firmly it to my chin, willing myself to stay in control of my senses. Damon closed the door behind him, and with one pull, he took off his shirt, dropping it to the floor. "Are you sure about this—” I started to say, still shocked that this was happening for the second time. He was right. I wanted him, as badly as I needed air in my lungs, but this time, I wasn't even drunk. I was fully aware of Damon's figure a distance away from me. “Your mother doesn't have to know about this, Rosette. I've wanted to f*ck you again, ever since that we met at the club." He hushed, stepping out of his trousers. I looked down at the huge bulge in his underwear. “You like what you see, don’t you?” He teased me, as his lips curved into a sly smile. “Why don’t you have a taste of it again. It is all yours to

    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?

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?

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?
