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

HazelDamon hugged me tightly like his life depended on me. Silence befell us as our hearts beat in sync. After some time Damon pulled apart. "I'm sorry for making you worried. I just had a lot in my head and needed to cool it off" Something was laced in his voice as he talk. "Is it your father?" I uttered. I know last time he complained about his father even though he didn't open up completely to me. "It's okay. I'm fine now" "You know I won't buy that. I can see through it that something is bothering you. Don't I deserve to know?" I declared openly squeezing his hand that was atop mine. He went silent. "Do you trust me?" I uttered again. "Ofcourse I do. I trust you with everything in me""Then tell me your problems. We're in this together" I ended with a light smile. I heard him breathe out. "You're right. It's my father" My brows creased in question on the accord ushering him to go on. "He doesn't really care about my feelings or my opinions. He want the project to began imm

HazelOne week later"Congratulations Mr. Damon for the successful project" The staffs cheered as they blew confetti all over Damon's head. Surprise gathered all over this face. I know he isn't expecting that. I planned all of it. He deserved the praises. To give him more encouragement. We are finally done with the clothing line project. Everything has been set up. Now it's left for it to blow up. And I know that will be happening soon. Damon and I shared a look which was a knowing one. He knew It was all my plan. After all the praises and well wishes, I was left alone with him. "You-"The warm arms that embraced me halted what I was going to say. "Thank you Hazel. This is special" He muttered tightly his hold around me. I held on tightly too. He pulled apart and offered out a smile. "You deserve all the praises of the world. You know, the past weeks hasn't been easy. You worked so hard to see the business come to life" "You're right. It wasn't something simple. You might not know t

HazelI had the hope that Damon would come. Yet, no sign of him or even a text from him. I ignored all the messages my friends kept dropping in the group chat. My body wasn't together with me. The images is still flowing through my head. Some part of me wanted to believe Damon would not do such thing. And some part of me is having doubt because his face was visible enough. It can't be a set up when he's enjoying whatever Mia is doing to him. Minutes goes to hours passed by without a glimpse of Damon. I was still seated on one position. The weakness I felt in my body was still there. I didn't know how long I sat there up to the time sleep engulfed me. Anyone could tell how untidy my face looks. I didn't expect it to bother me that much. I could barely think straight. All my mind was on what happened. Today, I dressed up anyhow. Not bothering to even look myself in the mirror to see whether everything is set. On my way, I bumped into Mr. Kane. Our greeting was short. He noticed I was
