I quickly changed into the sweats and realized he’d been right, they really were too big for me. I was folding up the bottoms of the sweatpants into some way where they would fit me at least a little better when there was a knock on the bedroom door and Damien came in.
He stopped just inside the door and stared at me.
I quickly looked at myself…
Was I wearing the hoodie backwards? What was wrong?
He slowly walked over, an expression on his face I couldn’t read.
“Am I wearing it wrong?” I was confused.
“On the contrary, you’re wearing it just right. I would say perfect even.”
He came over to me then and gently taking each one of my hands in his, folded the sleeve up to my wrists.
“You know I’ve never really worn this pair of sweats before, I thought it just wasn’t my color”
He said casually.
“Why did you buy it then?” I asked
“I didn’t.. It was sent to me.”
“Oh, I’ll get it back to y
Hi! Story will be updated everyday. Let's hope Seline survives the week with Damien..
I was speechless with shock, so much that I couldn’t even get my breath back enough to say goodbye to the handsome doctor. Just what in the hell was this man thinking? I couldn’t even comprehend the amount of things that had been wrong in that statement he had uttered to the doctor. First the words themselves.. What did it mean that I was staying here the entire week? How was that in any way, reality or fantasy even possible? His reality, probably my forbidden fantasy but I didn’t want to go into that. I was embarrassed of my own behavior. I didn’t know him, he didn’t know me. We didn’t know each other. And the way he had said it, so casually to the good doctor. As if.. As if.. My imagination led on from there.. As if I lived here regularly, as if being here was a common thing. As if I belonged in this home, as if I belonged in his bed, as if I belonged in his life. As if we were lovers and had been for
He smiled, he knew he’d won the war so he could afford to be generous, “I will be taking the guest room but if for some reason you don’t like my room, we can shift you over to the guestroom. Do you want to walk or be carried?”I knew when I was in over my head and this was one of those situations. He had effectively trapped me by giving me a choice, because he knew I wouldn’t want to be carried anywhere.Not because I didn’t like it but precisely because my traitor body liked it too damn much.I let out a breath, “No this room is fine with me if it’s okay with you, giving up your room, your bed.”“So what do you propose? That I give up my room but not my bed? How?” There was a gleam in his eyes. Was he suggesting that I was suggesting that we share a bed? Yikes!“I’m not proposing anything Mr. Flynn,” I said defensively. I’d called him that on purpose, I wante
Did nothing ruffle the man? Was he always this calm and put together? Did he feel anything at all when he looked at me or was I just one of his charity cases?Maybe he did this kind of a thing often, pick up random people off the street and help those in need.Rich people did need a hobby too right? Maybe he was a philanthropist..And just how much free time did he have that he was always around. How did he support this ostentatious lifestyle?Oh God, I thought. What if he wasn’t a businessman at all? What if he was something more sinister?What if he did something illegal? A drug dealer? Mafia boss? Smuggler?Oh Lord, what had I gotten myself into? I was panicking now and Damien was looking at me with a curious expression. Maybe he could sense my anxiety because he didn’t say anything or offer to help me. He just stared at me.I would have to find out somehow. Maybe I could look around his room, but that couldn’t be
I let out the breath I was holding as a huge load fell off my shoulders. Now I just had to prepare for the minefield of question that Maria would bring with her tomorrow. I hated how I knew some of the questions and yet I was ignoring them because I didn’t have an answer myself and I was scared of what I would find if I looked too close at my own feelings.For now, it was enough that I’d told Maria, I’d deal with the rest when the time came.I kept the cell phone on the nightstand and looked up to find Damien lounging in the doorway looking like he had been there a while. I bit my lip and wondered just how much he’d heard.I tried to decipher his expression but I couldn’t make out anything. I was being paranoid, he couldn’t have heard anything.“Thanks for charging my phone, I talked to my friends.” He didn’t need to know I’d only talked to one friend. The only one who was like a sister to me.
“You were eaves dropping on me?” Oh God! He'd heard everything.I wasn't Marie, I didn't know how to magically come up with a quick save!“Not by design” he said, “I just happened to come by at the right moment.”“You mean wrong moment.” I groaned and hid my face behind my hands. “You should know that you shouldn’t take anything I say to Mari seriously. She’s.. overdramatic, so I have to, you know be really overdramatic too, just to counteract that.. I really didn’t mean it..”I peeked up at him and he didn’t look at all angry.He just opened the tub of ice cream and dipped his spoon in, “You can keep hiding behind your hands while I’ll enjoy the ice cream.” he said.“You mean you aren’t angry at me?” I asked tentatively.“Why would I be angry?”“Oh,” I was confused.I let down my ha
I twisted once more, trying to get comfortable in the big empty bed. I wasn’t used to such a big bed, it seemed strangely lonely when I had so much space to myself.Did he always sleep alone here? I wondered.I knew the answer to that one, he definitely didn’t.He was so hot, there must be a lot of women willing and eager to sleep with him should he just snap his fingers.I painted a comic in my head where hot models with long legs who flipped their hair and had tons of attitude just dropped their panties when they saw him coming. Panties dropping left, right and center.Pathetic. I was pathetic. Anyone with half a spine would have already come onto him, kissed Damien and then whatever would have happened, would be fate.But I just wasn’t built that way. In my whole 23 years of existence, I’d never tried even flirting with a man, not just because I’d been too busy working and studying but also because I’d
There was a door leading off from the washroom that I’d been curious about for some time and after the housekeeper had escorted me to the washroom, I was impatient to find out what was behind it. I could either take a chance, snoop around today or I could wait until my foot healed to give it a try.It wouldn’t be easy with my busted up foot to play spy but what if I didn’t get the chance again?Oh Lord, it was so tempting. It could be locked though..I bit my lip as I turned the lock. Hah, it wasn’t locked.I almost gave a cry of alarm as the lights automatic turned on.Shit, wow… So this is how the other half lived.The entire room had been turned into a walk in closet the likes of which I had only ever seen in magazines, I was awestruck.I slowly made my way inside walking on the plush grey carpet in the room. It was so clean that it gave me the creeps. No shirts strewn about, no shoes on the floor, no
“What happened to you Seline?” Maria burst out as she looked at me.“What?” I looked down at myself, concerned. Surely I didn’t look that bad.She laugher, “I’m not talking about your clothes, although this new style really doesn’t suit you,” she teased me and then grabbed me in an unexpected hug, and then leaned back and looked me in the eyes.“Are you sure nothing bad happened and you’re here only because of the accident?”Her face was tense with worry and I realized that she was dead serious.I put my hands on her shoulders, simultaneously balancing myself so I didn’t fall and also to calm her down.“Nothing happened to me, don’t worry Mari, but if you don’t help me out of here, I just might slip and really hurt myself!”Mari rolled her eyes but helped me out of the washroom.“This place sure is the works, so who&rsquo
