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

DamonI don't know why I was getting to excited. It's going to be my first normal outing with Hazel. It's not as if it's was the first time. But everything I do with her is a first to me. I kept checking my watch for time. There's a lot of time to go. "Chill man. Why are you acting as if you're in a relationship for the first time" Derek uttered beside me. We were on our way back from the construction site. I decided to do things my way. The workers will start setting the place and then they will take a week off before starting the main work. When father heard about it, he was angry like I expected. However, I made him understand without the workers, our building won't come to life. I only spared him a glance before diverting my attention back to the road. "What does that have to do with me?" I asked. "You know, you're getting overly excited. Like a teenage boy going on a date with the girl he proposed to" I said nothing because I felt like it's true. I'm acting like a teenage boy.

HazelI couldn't explain the embarrassment that washed over me when Lucas saw me in that condition. I wouldn't be surprised if he laugh it off my face. We went over to the nearest restaurant. Lucas insisted I allow his personal man to get a new shoe for me. Like it's not necessary. I can manage it up to the house or even walk barefooted. “So...” He commenced. I didn't miss a smile that was covered on his face. Okay, he's going to talk about it. “Why are you wandering around all alone at the time of work?. Sorry for asking” I don't think wandering around is the right word to use for the case. Rather than strolling. “Needed to clear my head” His brows squeezed together. “Having a tough time from work or a heartbreak from boyfriend. Because that is the only two things could make a girl out of it” I almost choked at the drink I was sipping. He didn't just see right through me. “That looks too keen for my liking”“That means I'm right then. Let me guess” He squinted his eyes leaning o

HazelI've never felt devasted and belittle like I felt at that moment. My head spun around. I couldn't believe my ears. The information didn't come direct to me. I thought at least things will stay the way they are. Even if we don't continue our relationship. I didn't know he has everything planned. Engagement? He knew he's going to get back together with his ex-girlfriend yet he toyed with my feelings. I was shocked. No I was angry. Angry at myself for still having hope. Angry at myself for still having feelings for him. The news of Damon’s engagement is all over the tabloid taking everyone by shock. It will be a hot topic for another week. What I'm grateful about is the fact that no one knows about my relationship with him. Not even Leah who was having her suspicious. At least it will save me from the embarrassment. However, I can't do away with the bitterness that settled at the pit of my stomach when I heard some of the staffs talking about it. The elevator door opened and I wea
