HazelToday I decided to meet up with a my girls for. Why? Because it's weekend. Like, I don't want to waste the weekend just like that. I might as well have fun. We planned a picnic on one of the beautiful park in the city. Each one of us will bring something and we'd enjoy it together. I went for cupcakes and brownies. I have a thing for baking. You can say my second hobbies is baking. “Who do we have here. Miss D-” I nudge Layla on her side stomach before she could blabber something. The other girls are still unaware of everything. I’m not ready for another session of gossip. “Kylie am I sensing glowing on your skin?” I proclaimed squinting my eyes on her. Her skin was shining and more brighter than the last time I saw her. “Well, the man is taking good care of his baby” Sophie teased. We all burst out with laughter. “You guys should learn from me” Kylie answered back fanning her face. The ring from her middle finger didn't go unnoticed. I'm happy for her. Things are going great

DamonThe stillness that befell us was the kind that warmed me up inside. Hazel's arms were still wrapped around me as I felt her breathing on my hair. Hazel pulled away cupping my face in her palms. The gesture that make my body weak. It ignite something in me. "No matter how hard life is treating you, don't give up instead look up to your achievements. Life doesn't always come easy" I know all what she said is true but sometimes I feel like life isn't going in my favour. I don't know why Father doesn't want to understand me. No matter how much effort I put, he still finds fault in it. I'm a human not a robot. The conversation we had earlier this afternoon was heated to the extent that he threatened to take me down from my position. Why? Because I didn't agree with his new idea. We're still in the process of completing the projects at hand to think of another. And to think that the people he wants to do business with are people that we have no idea about them. Hazel's words brought

HazelOkay, I know whatever we’re going to do in Australia is strictly business but I couldn't help but pack extra clothes. I don't want to end up like last time. When I had only one outfit to wear for two days. I recall back to how Damon and I grew close from that span of time. I found myself letting out a smile as I zip up the bag. My eyes traveled to the wall clock. “I still have time before the departure” I said to no one in particular. I decided to face time my parents. We haven't spoke for a while. “Hi Mom” I waved at the screen. My mom half face was displayed on the screen. Her weird way of using a face time. “Hey Hazel. Why isn't my face showing well” A chuckle erupt from me in return. “Because you're not positioning it well. Keep your face straight”“Like this” She tilted the phone the way her face will be showing. Although it still didn't show fully. But who cares. As far as we can talk to each other then it's fine.“How are you doing dear? You haven't been calling latel

HazelWe arrived at Australia at the early morning. The weather was still dark at it's peak. A personal driver was being assigned to. I don't know whether Damon hired him or from the airport itself. I don't care to know. What I needed at that moment is to see myself rest. Damon doesn't seem to be tired a bit. Even when I woke up from the short nap, he was still working on his laptop. I wonder if he wants his head to explode one day from working. My mind ventured to the short conversation we had at my house. When he told me he feels like he's not a good son. He might not tell me the complete side of the story but I feel like there's more to it. From the little time I got to know him, he's someone who give his all. I can see how hardworking he is. He's giving the company his all. “Where are your thoughts” Damon said beside me broking me out of my trance. I didn't realize we have arrived our destination. I said nothing only proceed my way out. The morning breeze cascaded through my ski

DamonThe room was filled with our moans taking charge with our heavy breathing. Hazel was laying on her back legs parted for me as I ravish her clit. My shaft was rock hard just by the mere sight of her naked form. She was so tight and ready for me. I pulled away taking one of her nipple to my mouth while I mold the other.Her fingers were screeching through my back as more moans left her lips. "Dam... Um..." She breath out arching her back. I pulled away and slid down my trouser. I fished out a condom from the side drawer. Hazel's eyes grew wide at the sight of my member. I didn't miss a gasp that resonate out of her lips. I adjusted her, parting her legs more wider. My shaft teased her wet front. "I'll be gentle baby" I muffled out my voice coming out husky. I slowly entered her and a gasp escaped her. "Damon p-""Yes baby. Beg me" I entered her more grinding slowly into her. I was on full control. "Please Damon""Say it again" This time around, I increased my pacing. Riding fast

HazelUp to the moment I came up to my room, my heart didn't stop escalating inside its rib cage. Damon's words echo in my head. He love me? Damon is in love with me? His words felt like a dream to me. Catching me by surprise. I know it was the words I dreamed of hearing from the very first time I started falling for him. Now that he finally said it, my heart couldn't take it. I ran out of there without giving him an answer. I was in that position for what felt like hours. When my heart finally calmed down, I made slow advances towards the bed and crashed on it. I was in that thought when a call came through my phone. Layla's name flashed across the screen. "So you decided to ditch your girls because you have a guy now? Was the first thing that greeted me from her. "I was planning on calling you after I've settled down""Settle down or you you two finish-"I cut her off before she could complete her statement. "That isn't what we came here to do" What a great liar Hazel. You have fo

Hazel “What happened? Why are you silent?” Her voice resonate again. “I don't know Layla. But I don't think we can work out”“Don’t be crazy Hazel. Are you seriously saying that. When will you grow up? After all the effort he put you want to back out. What are you seriously thinking?” She went on without giving me room to explain myself. I know whatever she's saying is for my best interest. But I can't do away with the negativity at the pit of my stomach. “Listen to me Layla. I-”“No. You listen to me. I don't want to hear any of your excuses. Do you want to waste away your life like that being single? Do you?” I raked my hand through my hair ruffling them. The surrounding has began turning dark. Same with the breeze blowing. “I don't mean it that way. You know what type of a person Damon is. He's a public figure”“You didn't think about that when you fell for him? Why now Hazel? I seriously don't understand this. I don't get what's going through that head of yours” I omit out a s

HazelSilence prevailed as I waited for Damon to give me an answer but all what he did was walk away. I didn't fail to feel weakness down my legs. Something washed over me. I was on that position for more than a minute before sitting back down. The images of what transpired few minutes ago rang in my head. Why didn't he give me an answer to my question. Does that mean all my suspicious are right? Does that mean he's sleeping with her or he slept with her? I know my impression on him was a womanizer but then I thought he's no more into that. I guess I've gone too far. An exasperated breathe erupt out of me. I felt used, stupid. I should've known better. **They say overthinking left you with nothing but a negative mind that was what I felt at the moment. I've had the thinking all night about our conversation with Damon although I was angry at him. But that didn't change the fact that I'm still in love with him. The cold treatment Damon gave me wasn't something I expected. He literal

Damon We arrived back in New York. I dropped Hazel at her apartment before I went away back home. The first thing I did was take a shower. I felt much better after doing so. I decided to rest for a bit before reporting to my father later the day. I don't think I have enough strength to talk at the moment. I laid down on the couch resting my arm on my forehead. Images of Hazel flashes before me. The event that occurred at Australia replayed in my head. It's true that I'm unhappy that she didn't trust me before accusing me of such. I know anyone will behave that ways seeing a picture of a naked woman on someone that confessed he loves her phone. All what I said is from my heart. I can't deny it to myself. I want her all to me. To myself. Me alone. God know the anger that build up in me when Lucas Stone was shaking her. That grew more when he was friendly towards her. From the tabloids he's a man with charisma. But the way he was towards her doesn't feel right to me. I'm glad we were a

HazelI'm very glad that tomorrow is saturday which came by actually fast. I don't have to go to work. Because I needed the rest. After we came back from the trip, I went for some grocery shopping. Because I have close to nothing left in my fridge. I will use the weekend to rest although without the need to do anything. I was surprised when I bumped into Derek on my way. We didn't talk much before everyone went on their ways. After I'm done restocking the refrigerator, I grab an energy drink. My energy level is low. You could imagine how restless I was. I turned on the TV which haven't been used for how long I can't remember. Because I barely have time for myself. The volume was on high pitch as I try to concentrate on what was being displayed on the screen. A documentary. The sound from my phone occupy the whole room. My brows furrowed when Derek's name flashed across the screen. Why is he calling me at this hour? The clock is striking fast. “Hello” I uttered placing the phone to
