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
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.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 "I need to tell you something" I said barging into Damon's office."Sir, I tried stopping her but she wouldn't listen and..." 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
Damon's POVOnce the meeting was over, I rushed back to the last office where Rose was waiting for me, and to my greatest surprise, she was asleep.The last few weeks have been hell for me. Not just me but us. A lot of mental and emotional stress coupled with that emptiness creeping in my heart.My eyes raked all over her body, taking her sleeping figure in as I memorized the image of her, storing it in the deepest part of my heart, so I can never forget.Just because, a part of me knows that she would always remain there.Last night, when we danced, I could see her eyes pleading with me not to end things, but what would be of me if I didn't?A cheat?A mother fucking backstabbing liar?Everything we have done so far was... forbidden and wrong.But then putting an end to it, felt so right.Too right.And so I made up my mind that no matter what happens, once the 100 day mark comes, I will go very far away from her. Before we destroy ourselves.I wanted to make these last moments in o
Rosette POV "What are you doing?" The words slipped out of my mouth as I gripped the car seat tightly."Distracting you""Distracting me? From what exactly?" I asked, shivers running down my spine as Damon's hands moved up my thighs. And my legs? They fell open on their own.I was squirming hard on the car seat but then trying hard not to show it."You will get yourself distracted Damon, we are on the road for Christ sake!" I protested, hiding the smile that threatened to break out of my lips."Let me worry about that, right now my only focus is you, so spread those legs wider for me my sweet Rose, I want to feel you..." He said without taking his eyes off the road but for some reason I felt like he was watching me."Damon..." I whimpered as he pushed my panties aside, his thumb coming in contact with my clit."Hmmmm" he hummed in approval, stroking me, and then he plunged two fingers inside of me.My eyes flew open instantly, a loud moan escaped my lips, from the corner of my eyes I
Rosette POV "I'm not making this an issue, it's not my fault that you are always on defense mode, you need to cut me some slack Rose, you went out this morning, without informing either of us and then you return with Damon, with takeouts, can't I ask questions?" Mom countered, her hands resting on her hips."Of course you can mom, but then when you... just forget it, can we go inside, there is something I need to discuss with you" I added instead.Arguing with Susan was pointless.We could never agree on something together.Our views were just so different and poles apart."Alright then, go in, I will join you" she said, looking away."Mom, can you please not do that right now? Okay I'm sorry, but this is important," I insisted."How important?""Ronan"At the mention of his name, my mom's hand dropped as she turned around, like she was in search of him."Ronan? Did you see him around here? Did he talk to you?""What are you talking about mom?" I asked, covering the distance between
Rosette's POV Rowland burst into a sadistic laughter as he walked back into the kitchen to dispose of the broken pieces of glass."Is that some sort of a joke? Are you trying to pull a prank on me, Rose?" He asked again, walking back as he sat down on the couch facing me, with a smile on his face.A joke.Exactly what my life has turned out to be, I'm now a freaking joke."It's not a joke Rowland, I'm pregnant and no it's not for Caleb and you cannot tell him about this" I answered, with a serious tone."What are you ever saying to me right now Rose? You are pregnant..?" He repeated, the smile faltering from his face.Probably the seriousness on my face made him realise that this wasn't a prank."I just found out a few hours ago, I had no idea what to do and...""You were cheating on Caleb?" Rowland spat out again, rising from the couch."I...""Was it a one night thing? If you aren't pregnant for Caleb, who is responsible for it then??" Rowland asked again, there was a shift in his
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
