ELISAI could feel Damon's piercing gaze but I couldn't lift my head to look at him.I probably seem quite pathetic, few months back I told him there is no hope between us and here I am asking him to wait."You know what, forget it." I said, letting his sleeves go, but before my hands dropped, Damon pulled me into his embrace, hugging me tight."I would wait as long as you want me to Eli." He coaxed in a soft voice.I was stunned, the urge to cry overwhelming me, I'm pretty sure my eyes were glossy with tears at this point.Sniffling, I raised my hands slowly hugging him back, my actions causing him to hold me even tighter."Why were you acting that way in the car? I thought you were fed up with waiting for me or something." I voiced out my concerns.One thing I've learned from therapy was that I have to communicate my concerns no matter how odd they were.That way, instead of just guessing their reaction in my head I would be able to deduce their real reaction."Oh no." Damon hurried
ELISA "Are you okay?" Damon's face appeared in front of me disrupting my thoughts."Oh I'm fine." I answered but he just pursed his lips placing the food tray he brought on the bed."You are breaking out in cold sweat, do you feel uneasy?" He questioned placing his palm on my forehead."No, no, I'm good I swear it. Thanks for the food." I gestured to the breakfast on the bed trying to change the topic."It's no issue, you should eat then go wash up, I'll go do the same." I nodded at his words and watched as he left sighing.That was a close one, I didn't want him to see me as weird if I divulged my dream to him.I pushed all those thoughts aside and munched on the toast he brought, pushing it down with the hot chocolate.I've got to say, Damon Thorne has quite a talent for cooking, compared to me.When I was done, I head to the bathroom and took a shower.I should call that doctor later on to confirm Derrick's death, my instincts were telling me something was wrong.By the time I was
DAMONI smiled when I got into the house and saw Elisa sleeping on the couch soundly, she must have been waiting for me.Tip toeing, I walked over to her side and tried to pick her up being as gentle as I could.It's really refreshing to come back from a long day of work to see her cute puffy face.Her body shifted in my hold making me gulp nervously, I stared at her lips struggling with every cell in my body not to steal a kiss from her.No, doing it without consent especially when she has not accepted me was bad.I should try and control myself better, what am I even thinking of?She already told me to hang in there so I should try and control myself.I felt Eli struggle against me bringing my attention to her."Did I wake you up?" I asked in a low tone, scolding myself Inwardly, I should be more careful next time."You came very late today." She pointed out, I bit my inner lip trying to control myself from smiling.She was worried about me."I know, I'm sorry, I had to take care of
ELISA“What's the employee's name?” I asked Amber not wanting to believe that it was Derrick standing in my office lobby.“Thomas.” My heart eased a bit hearing the name, I should really call the doctor to confirm some things.“Good day ma'am.” Thomas turned around to greet me, and I was instantly taken aback.His build looks like that of Derrick's, but his face was seventy percent similar to that of Damon.Was the universe trying to play some funny trick on me or what? Well, newsflash it was not funny, not even the tiniest bit.“Let's head into my office. Amber go get me some coffee, get black coffee this time around.” I dished out orders before walking into my office.Dropping my bag on the table I did a round about sitting down on my chair.“You don't get to sit unless I say so.” I frowned when I saw Thomas already taking his seat.“I'm sorry, ma'am.” He apologized, instantly springing up to his feet.His hand clasped themselves tightly, his whole demeanor screamed nervousness, tha
ELISAI parked my car outside the building, contemplating whether I should go inside or not.In the end I decided to give Damon a call, just In case he was busy.“Hey Damon.” I greeted the moment he picked up the call.“Yes?” He answered, I took in a deep breath trying to regulate my heart beat after hearing his voice.“Are you busy?” I asked, my heart beating so loud I could swear passers-by would be able to hear it as well.“Kind of.”“Oh.” Disappointment crushed me, what was I thinking? Of course, he would be busy, I mean he owes a massive conglomerate.I opened my car door ready to leave when his words stopped my movements, he would be done in the next 30 minutes…My excitement and anxiety all rushed back in as shut the car door back, leaning against the car.“Oh okay, finish your work, I'm downstairs waiting for you.”Damon responded with an okay, but I couldn't care less, I hurriedly got into my car bringing out my compact mirror to check my make-up.Just because of the plan I s
DAMONAfter the meeting was over, I rushed down as soon as I could, just stopped a few steps away from the exit door, I stopped trying to regulate my breathing.It might seem awkward if she finds out I ran out here, after ensuring I was calm, I walked out disregarding the looks my employee's gave me.I saw her sedan parked in front and I jogged over, tapping on the window lightly.“Hey.” She greeted me nervously as she rolled down the window, her face full of questions.Well, my thoughtful employees ended things after 10 minutes, giving me the opportunity to come here earlier.“We finished on early.” I answered her obvious question.An awkward silence followed, and I just stared at Eli with the urge to compliment her.She looks so beautiful, I don't even need to see her full fit to know she's stunning.The only problem was that I couldn't compliment her even if I wanted to.Especially after this morning incident, If I gave her any compliments, she might just think I had intentionally
DAMON“Let's head in.” Elisa said, stretching her hand out for me to take.With a smile, I took her hands trailing behind her as she led me through the stairs.“Everywhere seems empty.” I pointed out and she nodded.“I rented the whole restaurant out.” Her reply came with a smug look.My eyes softened, I watched in silence as she interacted with the waiter who then led us to a table beside the window with a great overview of the city.I sincerely hope everything won't end up with a horrible turn.Especially since it's almost nighttime.“Damon!” Elisa sharp voice drew me out of my thoughts.“Yes?” I looked at her, forcing a smile, I don't want her know what's going on with me, she might start worrying again, or fight with me for making a “stupid” decision.“You were lost in thoughts? Are you okay?” She inquired, concern evident in her voice.Fuck, I made it so obvious.“It's nothing, I'm just admiring the city view.” I brushed it off, pulling her chair back and leading her to have her
ELISAI finally confessed to Damon, it felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off my chest.Though crying was not part of my plan, I couldn't control it for some reason.As I was about to respond to Damon's reassuring words, I noticed him frown like he was in severe pain.“Damon, are you okay?” I asked, feeling panicked and not knowing what to do.“I'm fine.” He replied, forcing a smile at me before holding me by the waist and placing my head gently against his chest.“Let's just dance to the music, it's your favorite song.” He stated in a dismissive tone, making me worry.“Damon-”“Eli, this is a moment we both want to enjoy, let's just do this with pleasure.” He looked at me with soft eyes before continuing dancing.Why does it sound like he just told me that regardless of what pain he was going through, it didn't matter right now.I shouldn't lie, I wanted this night to last long as well, I mean we just officially confessed to each other and I just accepted Damon, but his health

ELISAAfter my marriage with Damon, dad kept his promise and stepped down from his position, leaving me to take over as CEO.I wanted to use my "busy nature," as an opportunity to avoid Damon but after that night he offered to drive me to work and back.Ever since then it became a routine, and anytime he came to pick me up he brought a bouquet of roses along.It felt nice being cared for like this, during my relationship with Derrick I had been the one putting all the effort and any small actions he made seemed like a big deal to me.Maybe that's why this felt different.Seeing the familiar black rolls royce parked Infront of the office building made my heart swell with joy."Hey." He greeted me as usual handing me the flowers."Thank you." I took it from his hands my face heating up in the process, as I sniffed the roses to inhale their scents.It's been three months since I broke down completely in front of this man yet he never brought up the matter.Instead he just stuck to my sid
