"Why did you leave like that!?" Damien question harshly but I couldn't get angry back at him because I know it's because he was worried about me
When he got to where I was he checked me from head to toe to make sure I didn't get hurt and he hugged me tightly when he was sure I'm okay, how can I get angry at a guy who had been blinded with worry?
"I'm so sorry, I was just..." I started but he didn't allow me to finish my statement before he kissed me.
I was shocked by the action since I wasn't expecting it but then after some seconds of processing the situation, I responded eagerly to his soft lips and sweet taste
'How have missed the way his lips felt on mine'
Before the kiss led anywhere else he released me and hugged me again
"See how cold you are," he said as he felt my skin through the thin material I was wearing "why would you even think of leaving the room?" he questioned as he wiped the tears I've forgotten were on my face with the back of his hand
"I..." I started before he cut me off with his concerned voice
"It's okay, you're okay so that's fine, let's get you home," he said releasing me before removing his jacket and draping it on me, blowing steam into his palm, and then placing it on my cheeks in an attempt to cool my red cheeks
The warmth and rush that went through me at the contact made me stare into his eye which seemed brighter in the dark, courtesy of being a half-human half-wolf I guess
"I'm sorry for making you worry about me, I just came out for a stroll in order to cool off then I lost my way," I said apologetically
"Why would you think of walking around when you don't know your way back? Didn't take you to be so silly"
"Well, I wasn't thinking and also I'm not silly" I replied before facing the other way
"Well if you weren't silly, you'd be thinking" he replied and I could hear the smile in his voice which made me look back at him
"What's funny?" I asked frowning, this man really knows how to bring out the childish anger in me, though I wouldn't say I'm very angry but then I feel a little bit irked by his smile
"It's not…" he started before his phone started ringing
"I totally forgot about Claire and the other girls, we came out to look for you together when you didn't come home early," he said as he brought out his phone from his pocket and checked the caller ID
Early? How long was I gone for?
"Yes, I found her," he said after he picked the call "Shut the fuck up and bring the car here now," he said smiling and looking at me
The car? Just how far am I from home?
"Claire?" he warned and I wondered what she was saying to him
"Stop joking girl, this isn't funny," he said after looking at me once again and after straining my ear for a while, I caught words like 'I mean it D' 'Wolf' and 'she is trust…' before Damien spoke up again
"She isn't and even if she is, no can do now drive the car over here right now or face the consequences," he said before dropping the call and looking directly into my eyes as if trying to confirm something and I'd be lying if I said I'm not curious about what Claire said over the phone and what I'm not ready for.
The word she's not ready didn't sit well with me. If he doesn't make me do it, how would he know if I'm ready? Who knows I might actually be ready for whatever is it they're talking about
"What's going on? What's wrong?" I asked staring into his eye with the same intensity he used to stare into mine while hoping he'll read my mind and tell me everything
"Are you truly ready?" he asked with something related to concern lacing his voice
"For what?" I asked back since he didn't finish his statement
"Don't worry, Claire would soon be here, let's just walk down the lane a bit so we'll meet her on the way" he said after looking at my face and looking at way repeatedly for a while
'Why the fuck is he telling me not to worry?' I thought after glaring at him for some seconds. Why can't he just tell me what's going on already!
"Okay," I said after thinking about it for a while, yes I want him to tell me what I am or not ready for but then since he doesn't want to say it now, I'll just postpone it too, and also, his cloth isn't really warding off the cold since it's not very thick. Using that as justification I walked forward and after some seconds he followed
Getting home after enduring a long drive with a grumpy Claire, Damien and Scarlett, a frustrating Prisca and Bella, and a neutral Samantha I went straight to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
I felt mentally and emotionally exhausted after the ride so I decided that an early sleep is the best option for me to cool down my hot senses and calm down my stressed body.
I really wanted to talk to Damien though, I wanted it more than sleep itself but then on my way home, I told myself one thing, 'I'm not going to decide on things due to how much I want them anymore, from now on, I'll only do the things that benefit me the most, especially when it comes to Damien'
I decided this because I don't like the way I get too emotional with this particular man, just a slight action from him makes me either too angry or too happy, I've never felt anything on a medium scale with him and I don't like it.
With all that in mind I went to sleep immediately after taking my bath, even though I saw him waiting for me on the sofa, even though he asked me if we can have a little chat, even though he looked like he really wanted to talk to me, all I did is tell him I'm really stressed and I need to sleep and he said 'okay'
'I must call my dad tommorow' I thought as I lay on the bed, wondering how my love life suddenly elevated to this point and how I'm going to live my life with so much love inside of me.
No matter what, I've always made sure I don't fall for the guy first, and now that I made that mistake, I wonder how everything is going to end
