"You look..." Trailed off Ella, my make up artist for the night in awe, looking at my reflection with me.
"Out of this world, I know that but, thanks anyway" I said dryly with a shrug rising a laugh from Damon who was seated patiently waiting for me to finish with my make up and all.
"You are not humble at all" Chuckled Ella slapping my shoulder playfully.
"One of my best qualities actually, you got a sharp mind my dear" I told her with pride making her speechless, shaking her head helplessly.
"What he wanted to say was that he's grateful, weren't you Love?" Said Damon calmly eyeing me from my back making me smile back at him.
"I was... Thank you" I told her with a grateful smile on my face though, I really didn't plan to make it seem like I was rude or anything but, that was exactly what Damon saw probably.
It was just how I was and that was my way of talking normally.
Maybe, that's why I was still struggling to make friends in my world and why everyone turns out to have an ulterior motive in the end when they befriend me first.
"You're welcome. And President Emule, I know that he's a softy inside so don't worry. Now, the dress...!" Clapped Ella excitedly walking me to the bathroom so I could get in the dress.
I had to salute the designer, she really outdid herself on the piece if she's a she to begin with. The dress was picture perfect regal in every sense.
It gave me the vibe of being a warrior and yet some fragile being once I was in it. I looked strong yet vulnerable at the same time. A masterpiece, I could tell.
It wasn't the feeling that the dress gave that made my heart racing and my body aflame, it was rather the gaze Damon gave me across the room.
"I...I... I think, I should go. Yeah... so, bye!" She stuttered before I heard a door opening and closing seconds later.
Remembering what that man did to me hours before did nothing but, giving me goosebumps and a an hungry shiver. Who knew that I'd love being dominated in the bed like that. Being possessed like that...
We stayed like that for some time before he stood up eyes still glued to each other, hands in his pocket, walking to me one step at a time, taking his time, with every second driving me a little bit crazier...
He likes it, I could tell from the smirk I spotted on his face.
"I wish to always hide you from the eyes of the world, Love" He said in a deep voice as a matter of fact once he came to stand right before me, his one hand in his pocket while the other came to grip the back of my neck possessively.
I could be wrong but, sometimes I feel like I'm dealing with two different Damons.
"So selfish!" I gasped feigning shock before grabbing on his tie sensually pulling him to lean on me slightly. Faces only inches apart.
I love it when he tries to get the upper hand with me, forcing himself to stay calm when we both know that everything I do affects him.
"Then, let them see, that's all they can do anyway" I whispered to him with a confident smile tugging on my lips making him groan.
"We both know who owns me" I said leaving his tie alone so I could take out my coat but, he went forward and pulled me to lay on his tight embrace from behind.
"Fuck! I really wanna do you now, standing on those high heels..." He told me with a gruff voice before tracing my face and neck lightly but, I could tell that he was trembling.
"...But, I can't. Not tonight" He said at last not really telling me but, himself.
"Why not? I remember it was one of your fantasies" I inquired with a genuinely confused look.
"Not when you're all sore like this" He explained retracting his hand from my neck and my body altogether.
"How would you know that?" I asked, turning back to him stubbornly.
"Because, you told me yourself" He said leading me out of his office before taking my coat with us.
"I don't remember telling you that!" I refused to believe that I banned myself from having another thrilling orgasm.
"You were crying in the last round" Explained Damon with a straight face before I heard gasps from the crowd returning me to the present.
I totally thought that his secretaries were gone home since it was already eight p.m. That was plain slavery.
"Uum... I... We..." I started explaining in a stutter awkwardly.
"Why are you guys still here?" Asked Damon, rescuing from making a fool out of myself.
"We were waiting for you" Said Joanna seriously looking deadly at Damon's hand which would seem hidden behind my back.
"Why?" Asked Damon seriously after I refused to make another step even after he gently pushed me forward.
"We were suggesting for Tasha to return to her post" She said with a confident air around her. She must be Tasha's bestie or something.
"And this couldn't wait till tomorrow?" Asked Damon calmly but, he was clearly upset.
"Or you could have just emailed that to him" I informed helpfully earning a side smile from Damon.
"Sadly, it's not a matter worth discussing. She's fired and never coming back. Anybody dissatisfied, should either move on or move along with her. I don't tolerate disrespect... Especially, to my partner" Damon said firmly before asking me if we should go and I nodded silently with a smile.
"Was that uncomfortable for you?" He asked once we were in the elevator.
"Why are you always confident in introducing me?" I had to ask.
"Because, I'm proud to have you in my life, Love" He told me kissing the side of my head while playing with my knuckles before settling on the ring on my finger.
"I too am proud to have you but, why do I always hesitate?" I asked him genuinely.
"Give yourself some time, You still got scars to scare you from being yourself so, it's hard to see us in my point of view" He explained patiently.
"I'm so lucky to have you" I told him, meaning every word before I went in for a hug.
"I'm the one who's blessed to have you, Love" He said reciprocating my hug.
"Wait,why are we going to the rooftop?" I asked when I saw numbers from the screen increasing than decreasing.
"Because, we got a helicopter waiting for us at the rooftop" He explained casually making my heart making a thud hurting my chest.
"Where is this date's venue?" I inquired skeptically.
"It's a secret" Said Damon with a loving smile looking down at me before the elevator opened and true to his words, we heard its plates cutting the air passing through them.
"Oh. My. God!" I exclaimed, covering my mouth.
"You said that you always think what Christian Grey did to Ana was romantic so..." He explained with a trail. Was he feeling shy?
"This is Epic!" I excitedly cheered jumping up and down like a little kid being given his favorite gift.
He laughed eyeing me with indulgence in his eyes.
"Take me wherever baby" I sang the words before he stopped me by grabbing me at my hand.
"Aren't we going to ride that thing?" I questioned confusedly. How are we ever going to feel like Christian and Ana if we won't even get in it?.
"I don't know how to fly it unlike him" He said embarrassedly, blushing cutely making me laugh helplessly.
"Nobody knows everything, Baby. Now can we go before I get pneumonia?" I asked with a tease and he followed me to the helicopter.
We were landing on another rooftop four hours later.
"This is our destination?" I had to ask because the place was... how to say it... A mess.
To those who love a good night life that's the place for them. Lights were everywhere, people bustling about, traffic jams here and there...
"Yes, this is where you married me three years ago. Right down at that church around the corner" Said Damon pointing at the small cottage across the street that was near what seemed to be a hotel or something.
"That's the place? I really was drunk" I said with a shake of my head, making him laugh.
"Happy anniversary, Love" He said looking back at me after some silence away making me startled to an almost heart attack state.
"It's our...!?" I started, wide eyed. It didn't cross my mind, not even once.
"Let's do anything you wish to do tonight and tomorrow...but, first, food" He told me dragging me to the elevator before bidding the pilot and his co-pilot goodnight and safe trip back.
