04 * Priestess Camille is his Mom?

Chapter 4

Devika's POV

This is the 5th time I'm waking up tonight and it's not even 5 am yet. No matter how hard I try, I fail to fall asleep so am going downstairs. I walk slowly and steadily downstairs, not wanting to wake up Damian.

Opening the backdoor, I walk to one of the pool chairs there and lay down, looking at the sky.

Over and over again, the images of Damien fucking me keeps hunting me and I keep suppressing it as much as I can. I haven't even been here for 10 mins when a hand grabs my leg making me scream. I'm sure that was a hand but I can't find anyone. Without a second thought, I run to the light switch and turned it on.

Coming back to where I was seated, a figure emerged from the water with a mocking smile on his face.

"You idiot!" I scream, finally able to breathe.

"What? Thought it was a ghost?" he asked with that sexy sweet smile of his.

"Nope, ghosts are way nicer than that, they don't just grab you without reason" I retort, leaning into my seat.

"Okay", he replied nonchalantly before turning to face me. His smile grew wider as he slowly climbed out of the water making me jump out of my skin.

Standing in front of me isn't a shirtless Damian, it's a fucking naked Damian! I know I should look away, my mind is screaming at me to look away but I don't. It's like time just passed as they do in movies until I saw his face a few inches away from mine.

"What the hell!" I scream, finally finding my voice.

"What?" he pouted

"Thought you liked what you saw" he added, with a smirk before walking into the house.

Seriously what is wrong with that guy? I manage to get him out of my mind for a second and he manages to break through like it's nothing! He is going to be hearing it from me today.

I'm not letting it slide, not again else he will keep doing things like this. I'm not meant to be out of breath for fuck sake, the wind is cool and relaxing. 

"So what brought you out here by this time?" he asked sitting beside me.

"I could ask you the same question" I reply not sparing him a glance.

"I was training, what your excuse?" he asked

"It's none of your business" I reply

"See that's where you are wrong, as my guest it is my business," he said confidently and that did it for me.

I got up from my seat and stood in front of him, feeling badass as if I could look down on him.

"Glad you know am your guest Damian so make sure to act as a good host," I say and walk away.

Before I could go inside, he grabbed my hand and pushed me into his embrace.

"What are you trying to say?" he asked, looking me in the eye. The endless depth of his gaze was so overwhelming that I had to break eye contact but I wasn't going to lose my stand.

I peel his hands away from my body, took a few steps away from him, and replied: "I'm your guest and you are my kind host so please, don't act like we are anything more than that."

"Do I make you uncomfortable?" he asked and I could swear his voice trembled but am not sure.

"Yes," I reply before heading back to my room.

You must be wondering what happened after that right? To be honest, it's not what happened, it's what's happening, a newly hired housekeeper/cook is serving me lunch and I have a driver/bodyguard, both at my beck and call.

"Here you go Miss Clare," the housekeeper says laying the dishes in front of me.

"Call me Devika," I tell her for the thousandth time this past few days.

"I'm sorry Miss Clare" she apologized again and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her.

There's no one to blame but myself, it was my big mouth that led to all of this drama anyway. He was probably just being nice to me despite his busy schedule and I just blew it in his face. He could at least call me and ask if I was okay but no, he would call the housekeeper.

"Kaitlyn!" I call out, taking the dishes to the sink.

"Yes, Miss Clare" she replied walking behind me.

"Get the car ready, I'll be heading out soon," I say rinsing my hand under the sink.

"Yes Miss" she replied before walking away.

The 1st time I did this, I felt like such a boss but now, it's nothing. I just want to see his face once or at least hear his voice but no, he's avoiding me. The housekeeper won't give me his number and it's killing me. I shouldn't feel like this but I do, I do and even though I know am doomed to be heartbroken again, I still find myself wanting to move to him.

"The car is ready Miss Clare" Kaitlyn notified. I picked up the files that I needed before heading out the door.

Getting to the cr, Kaitlyn was holding the backdoor open so I give a note to her saying "take me to this address".

"Yes ma'am" she replied, as I claimed into the back of the car. 

Looking out the window, I get lost in the beauty of this town, there's just something magical about it.

"We are here Miss Clare," she said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I look around the place in awe at how familiar it looks. Chills creep up to my skin as I realize where I am. "That fucking bastard" I cursed, he brought me to Wema Avenue that day without telling me.

This means his mom isn't Mrs. Camille Young but Priestess Camille Petrova. I clasp my hand at my mouth at the discovery, that his mom is a witch. I'm angry yet relieved for reasons I can't explain so I get out of the car before I change my mind and go home.

Gathering my courage, I walk into the shop to find it busier than it was the day I came here. Wow, I didn't think there would be so many applicants here.

Taking a deep breath, I walk towards the line but was stopped in my tracks when someone holds my hand.

"I've seen you before," the red-haired girl said looking at me.

"Yes, I came with Damian" I replied with a smile of my own.

"Oh, you are the bitch" she says releasing my hand.

"Excuse me?" I say, getting offended, last I remember I did nothing to deserve this kind of reception.

"Leave Damian, you are not right for him" she replied before walking away.

Is this how sisters are to any girl they see with their brothers? I did not realize it when Priestess Camille walked up to me.

"Devika, what brings you here?" she asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry we missed the dinner," I say not knowing how to react.

"It's fine, am sure that's not why you are here" she replied.

"Yeah", I say giving her the envelope.

"You are one of the online applicants," she said or maybe asked, it's hard to tell.

"Yes," I reply not knowing what to say.

"Is everything you need ready?" she asked 

"Yeah, I have everything at home and the pictures are in the envelop too" I replied

"Okay, come with me," she said, walking through the crowd to the other end of the store.

"Process this now," she said, passing my envelope to a young woman.

She gave me a quick smile, grabbed my hand, and took me into an office. She say down behind the desk and I sat in front of her.

"So why are you interested in magic?" she asked and I suddenly regret why I came here.

Maybe, if she wasn't Damian's mom it would be different but what do I do now?
