Did.... He really said that or was I just imagining things?... For a moment there, I did see him as a kid and treated him one since I grew up from an orphanage, it's been a habit of mine...
... But he said he might steal a kiss?! On me?! I'd love to! I volunteer!
I closed my eyes hoping he really would.
This is it. All those horoscopes and lucky charms finally paid off! I'm ready for my first kiss!
But just then...
"Hurry up Olivia, I'll leave you behind." Dylan teased playfully as he looked back at me
"C-coming!" I stuttered while blushing as I ran towards him along with my bicycle. It's worth a shot, you know?
As we walked towards our hotel beside one another, Dylan waved goodbye, "See you tomorrow, Olivia."
Oh god, even the way he say my name is so damn gorgeous!

Olivia Summers This is Damon?! But anyway, Dylan grabbed my hand! I'm so happy I could die now! He's jealous because of this weirdo,Damon?! Of course Dylan is, because after all, we're soulmates!"She's my personal maid so either I fire her or you back off, Dylan." Damon stated with confidence as he smirked at me.Oh crap! He can't fire me if he did, my access to Dylan will vanish! I'm sorry Dylan but I must do this.I replied, "Wait! Hold it right there!""So what now Olivia? Are you still going to come with him?" Damon asked while crossing his arms and that smug smile on his smug face. Ah, so annoying. Why does he have to come in between us?"I'm going to stay, sorry, Dylan." I replied softly and regrettably."Well, you heard her." Damon mockedBut as Dylan walked away, he looked back at me and sai

Damon AshtonWell, this is going to be an interesting stay. I'll make sure you'll fall for me and then, I'll break your pretty, little, and naive heart, Olivia.She can be pretty but she's too optimistic, a hopeless romantic and that weird style of clothing.But I can fix that. After all, a pretty face doesn't need much fixing.Still... it keeps bugging me. Like how can she even say I give her goosebumps with such a straight face? Since when did a hopeless romantic become this choosy?!It annoys me so much, I want to break her heart right now.I need to take my game up a notch.After cooking, she placed the foods at my table. I took her hand gently and kissed it. I looked at her and she was dumbfounded- that's right, Olivia, fall for me.But then, she immediately removed her hand from my grip and wiped the spot I kissed with a tissue and alco

It's like killing two birds with one stone.As we stepped out the movie theatre, I turned on my phone and suddenly hundreds of texts and calls popped out my phone."That's a lot of calls, Damon.." Olivia remarked as she glanced at my phone. I raised an eyebrow, "You have guts calling me by my name.""I-I mean, master." Olivia statedI caress her face gently and replied, "What's this? Getting all jealous suddenly?""No, I'm not!" Olivia complained with a smile trying to act cute for Dylan, "Touch me again and I'll break your hand." as she shoved my hand away

Dylan AshtonOlivia was blushing and shocked with what I just said. Ah, crap, now I've done it. She looked at me in confusion and was left speechless.Of course she is, I blurted those words to rashly- what if Olivia felt uncomfortable? Ah, damn it.Damon was surprised as well then he averted his gaze back to Hayley as he stated coldly, "Let's break up.""What?! Why all of a sudden?!" Hayley complained"Sudden? We've been dating for a week now, I'm bored of you." Damon declared in such a cold hearted way then he carressed Olivia's hair as he continued while glaring at me, "Besides, I found a new interest- Someone far more interesting."Hayley felt so embarrassed and infuriated- it's true that they've only been going out for a week and almost all the girls who dated Damon knew about his casanova side- otherwise, they'd be stupid

Olivia Summers Soon after, we immediately went back to the hotel. Damon entered the room first with all his rants and grumblings.Geez, is he a kid? How annoying."What do you want for dinner?" I asked as I put on an apron to get ready cooking.Damon smirked, "You."Then he suddenly hugged me from behind, luckily I dodged by bending my knees. I felt shivers down my spine,ew,casanovas."I almost had you." Damon flashed his mischevious smile"Well, thank god you didn't." I was cringing as I continued, "You. will. never. steal. my. heart. Thats on period.""Have patience and you'll see."I argued, "No, you'll see."Damon scoffed, he seemed to enjoy it whenever he gets on my nerve- so that's qu

Olivia Summers"Hey, Damon! let me down! Are you crazy?" I complained while punching his back. Damon adjusted his lift and replied, "Geez, can't you just stay still! For someone sick, you're energetic."I continued to complain but then it hit me, what Damon said... how did he knew I was sick? I was quiet and so was he as he carried me back to his room. Damon tucked me in and said, "I'd take you back to your apartment but I doubt it's better than mine so here will have to do.""Hey! What are you doing?""Stay still." Damon said in a gentle tone as he placed his hand on my forehead, he sighed, "You are really sick.""I thought you weren't going back until 4?""I wasn't supposed to." Damon continued, "I saw you weren't feeling better yesterday even if you probably didn't notice it yourself. You had a sli

Damon AshtonI started to button up my shirts as I saw the time. I told Olivia I'd be back first thing in the morning. The lady, whose name I never got and I'm not really interested in knowing lay naked beside me, she groaned, "Leaving so soon, love?""I'm not the type to stay."She rolled her eyes to the side and said, "Well, can you at least make me some breakfast before you go, I'd love some good soup. There's something at the counter you could use.""Sorry." I smirked, "I don't cook."Then without hesitation, I left her apartment room and never looked back. That's the second time someone asked me to cook soup. What is this? Some cruel reminder? But for some reason yesterday, I couldn't say no to Olivia. I actually made her soup.Ah, it's fine, she's probably regretting it now. I know I make terrible soups. I always wondered

Olivia SummersCrap! This must be a dream!!! Dylan... Likes me?! I immediately texted back, "I have always liked you since I first saw you in television, there was this unusual spark that I felt. Suddenly meeting you after you disbanded surely is destiny and then now, you saying that you like me.... Is a miracle I have been wishing for!"But then, on top of it all, my long term babe replied, "Sorry but you have 0 balance to send this text."Crappp!!! Out of all the time, why must I run out of load right at this moment! Damn it! How unlucky! I should have worn that polka dot leggings for luck today! Anyways, I rushed to any store open at this hour but all the stores were close and at the convenience store, it was temporarily closed since the cashier is not yet there?!!Oh come on!I have no other option! I immediately went to Dylan's hotel but unfortunately it was locked. I kno

Damon Ashton I woke up, took a bath, got ready and changed into my a loose gray tank top paired with my white board shorts along with my beach shades and black leather bracelets. I was late for breakfast as usual so I headed outside. "Hey Dy, did you see where Olivia is?" I asked Dylan .He was with Summer on their way to swim at the beach, I guess, he answered, "She's changing, she's going to try surfing.""You should teach her, you're much better than I am at surfing." Summer added."Are you guys doing what I think you're doing?" I raised an eyebrow. Summer looked away and said, "No. What are you thinking?""You're a horrible liar, Summer." I snickered, "Stop setting us up. It won't happen.""Setting you with Olivia? Never! She's too good for you, brother, keep dreaming." Dylan scoffed."Ah, of course, my number hater. I guess it's only Summer who's setting me up then." I said, "Well, I'm off. I'll go see Olivia. See you."Then Olivia went out, wearing her black rash guard along wi
The Only Exception Chapter 30: "In My Dreams"
Olivia Summers How nice it is to have a family, someone you can come home to. The laughters, smiles on their faces seems warm. I finally saw Damon laugh for real without holding or hiding anything, I saw Dylan happy with Summer and with that peace of mind shows in his face.Truth be told, it made me a little envious and I felt a sharp sting in my heart. But also, it struck me. I finally made up my mind.After a few minutes, we cleaned the table where we ate and Summer and Dylan took care of the dishes. I changed into my pajamas and went outside to stroll for a while, suddenly Damon appeared in front of me, "Miss me?""Yeah, I was about to but if we weren't together just 5mins ago" I mocked"Aw, I'm touched. You just admitted you missed me.""I speak fluent sarcasm so if your tiny brain can't seem to grasp that," I continued, "I didn't miss you so please go away and let me have my peace for five minutes.""Never, part of the routine, anyways, where are you going?""At the convenience
The Only Exception Chapter 29: "If This Is Love"
Damon Ashton "I think it's better if we leave them alone." I told Summer and she simply smiled, "You're right."We both left and sat at the hammock near the beach house, Summer broke our silence and asked awkwardly, "So... how are you?" "Not so well.""Right. Sorry that was a dumb question." She averted her gaze towards me, "I didn't love him because he's better than you nor because he's perfect in everyone's eyes, I just love him, that's that. Sorry for leaving you and hurting you like everyone did.""I'm sorry for saying that to you. I didn't mean to make you feel gulty." I looked at her once again, with those simply and messy hair, wearing a sleeveless flowy dress, "I know but I just didn't accepted it." I chuckled softly, "Olivia told me that it's all about finding someone worth the pain, I'm okay now and I want her to be too.""Olivia Summers seems like a nice girl.""Maybe it's a given to those who have Summer in their names." "Definitely." Summer laughed. "I hope you find pe
The Only Exception Chapter 28: "Happier"
Olivia Summers I watched there as Damon took care of his dad and tucked him in with a warm blanket, he kissed him in the forehead, "Goodnight dad." I never saw that gentle and warm side of him. It feels more like, it wasn't that I didn't see it, it was just that he purposely hid it from the world. But at the same it, it feels exactly like Damon. I've always seen it actually. That behind all that bravado, he's a good person. It was just that he was trying so hard not to be. Or maybe, I refused to see it. I refused to see any reason to like him because he... reminded me of myself. It was like looking into his eyes, I see myself. Abadoned and incomplete. I didn't want to see it because looking at him made me want to confront my demons and fears and I wasn't ready to do so. But then again, I don't think I'll ever be ready. It wasn't really a matter of getting ready, it was a matter of whether I would be braver this time to actually take the first step into facing it? While I was pre
The Only Exception Chapter 27: "Hard Times"
Damon AshtonAfter a while, we both got ready for bed, I tucked myself in and bid goodnight to Olivia, "See you in my dream, Olivia.""If I see you in mine, that would be a nightmare!" Olivia mocked, "Now, let me sleep in peace and don't you dare visit my dreams because I swear to god, I will murder you in your sleep.""Geez, that's too crazy, Olivia, even for you.""What does that mean?" She raised an eyebrow and hits me with a pillow, "How annoying!""I look like Dylan a lot, so honestly why him?" Why is it always him? Can't it be me for once in my life? I just sounded like I'm wallowing in self-pity. I sounded a lot like dad. I will never be him. I swore it. Never."I've had enough with those casanovas playing feelings with others." Olivia continued, "Dylan, however, is the opposite, he's perfect and he's a nice guy, really nice.""Even if he breaks your heart?""Even if he breaks my heart." Olivia said, "Dylan's just that kind of person. He's effortlessly... kind.""I could be nic

Olivia Summers With that stupid Kyle out of the way, so now what? How do I face Damon, after forcing a kiss on him all of a sudden? God, this will be the death of me! I mean, I've done a lot of crazy and unusual things. I've been rejected in public. A lot. But nothing ever comes close to this kind of embarrassment! What was I supposed to do? How am I supposed to react? What do I say?My mind is racing with thoughts. How can he stay calm in this situation? I mean, I haven't looked around to see because I'm too embarrassed but I can only imagine that smug look on his face! I can't believe I'm blushing over this!Get over it, Olivia, you're not some highschool kid anymore.I was embarrassed but I managed to face him without looking at his face, I was all red from embarrassment, I apologized, "Sorry, that was- I wasn't expecting that either, sorry, I was careless.""You think I'll accept that apology?" Damon asked with that annoying smirk on his face, "You kissed me, Olivia.""I'm sorry
The Only Exception Chapter 25: "How to be a heartbreaker pt.2"
Damon AshtonI don't know why but the way she answered that was quite... heartbreaking. There was no hesitation, Olivia was sure she'd never fall in love with someone like me. A casanova.But still, a part of me was relieved to actually hear her say that. I must be going crazy. Why am I so indecisive lately? Damn it."Hey, are you okay?" Olivia asked, "You look like you're having an existential crisis.""Ha ha. Funny." I snickered, "Says the hopeless romantic who's about to become a heartbreaker.""For your information, I am still against the idea of breaking someone's heart for the fun of it but Kyle is a jerk who totally deserves it.""Hypocrite.""This was your idea." Olivia raised his eyebrows, "Ah, I see, you're making me question it so I'd back down. Is this a test?"It wasn't but I lied. "Congratulations, you passed.""You better not let your guard down because I will make you fall for me.""That's my line."Olivia chuckled, "It is but it's a lot better when I use it. Well, is
The Only Exception Chapter 24: "How to be a heartbreaker pt.1"
Damon AshtonWith my loose gray shirt and black sweat shorts, hair slicked back showing that clean shaved line and my go-to black kaishi run, I went to room B50. This is how I run away from things like... feelings.Unnecessary feelings.Complicated feelings."What took you so long?" She asked in a flirty manner as she touches her lips, "Your other girlfriends?""Sorry." I put my hands around her waist and kissed her, "Still mad?"She grabbed my shirt and pulled me inside her room. "I'm still debating about it."I smirked.Rule number one: you gotta have fun but when you're done, you gotta be the first to run. So, after things happen, a casual flirting goes a long way. I left her along with a note, 'Thanks for having me over.'Rule number two: just don't get attache
The Only Exception Chapter 23: "Try"
Olivia SummersI was caught off guard when Damon hugged me but for some reason, I didn't try to move away from him like I usually do. The look in his eyes earlier... seemed so lonely.A feeling I was too familiar.Suddenly, a pretty lady with her simple white shirt and denim shorts came up to us saying, "You two lovebirds seem to be lost.""Ah yes, we are." Damon was surprised, he immediately lets go of me. I was dumbfounded too but I managed to reply, "I mean, yes, we're lost but no, we're not a couple.""yet." Damon smirked as he looked at me devilishly.And there he goes again. Being the mischevious little devil with his lines and tricks to make any naive girl fall for him. How annoying. I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Never.""Never say never." Damon nudged, "You might end up eating your words, darling.""If you say so."
