As Damien started the car once again, I could still feel his lips on my lips and I relived the kiss in my head again and again. It had been our second kiss but it had felt more like our first one. It felt like I had been a different girl when Damien had kissed me last time.And now.. now It felt like we had started all over again.I looked over at him and he was concentrating on the road. I suddenly realized that I didn’t know where we were heading.“Where are we going?” I asked him.He gave me a wicked look, “I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty hungry.”Oh, I thought and licked my upper lip.“I’m hungry too,” I said slowly, not sure if he was even talking about food.“What would you like to eat?” He looked at his watch, “I think we could get takeaway at this hour and eat it in the car.”I nodded, why hadn’t he suggested going back to h

“Both of you are staying over,” Mari announced as Baron came out of the bathroom, partly because she just liked to announce things overdramatically but mostly because she wanted to cover the awkward silence. Baron already didn’t like Damien, if he found out anymore; he would go berserk I was sure. But I wasn’t sure I liked this overbearing behavior but I put up with it because Baron really cared about me. He had once told me about his rough childhood even though he had grown up super rich. His father had been very abusive with him. He said that he had hardly made any close friends all his life, which was why he was so protective of both of us.“I am so tired of both of you getting into some kind of trouble on the streets, I mean your foot had barely healed from being almost crushed by a car when he goes and gets himself robbed and beaten up.” Mari complained. I rolled my eyes, Mari was nothing if not a drama queen and she was in her element

I looked out at the gathering clouds as I waited for Damien to arrive. It looked like it could rain soon and I wasn’t mad about it. I really loved the rain..  I was nervous about other things, this dressed up and waiting was driving me crazy.I wasn’t the type of person to get nervous over dates, not that I had had many but this was the first time I had done something like this. Prepare, get dressed and then sit and wait.I had always been like this, always excited to get ready and then then when I had to wait for something, I turned into an impatient pain in the ass. I was bothering Mari now whose room I was sitting in while she watched a tv series. I felt a little sick with tension and right now, all I wanted to do was take off everything and get into bed.Thankfully Baron had left after lunch to deal with the aftermath of his situation. I wondered if he would get his car back. Focusing on his problems made the butterflies a little bit better

The sunlight was bright as I woke up but I didn’t wake up because of the sunlight, I woke up because of Damien. I’d woken up to the smell of him, the look of him and the feel of him around me. I didn’t wake up disoriented; I didn’t wake up thinking I was in a foreign place, I woke up completely at peace and happy. I sat up on one elbow and looked at sleeping Damien beside me and remembered each touch, each kiss, and each moment. Everything was etched in my mind and I knew whatever happened in the future, I would remember it forever as one of the best nights of my life.I fell back on my side and just stared at the beautiful man sleeping so peacefully beside me, his dark hair falling on top of his forehead. I reached out and gently caressed them back thinking how much younger he looked in his sleep.What would he do if he woke up now? Would he look at me the same way I was looking at him? Would he wake me up and kiss me? I remembered his passiona

There was a devil on one shoulder and an angel on my other shoulder because my thoughts were conflicted as hell. On the one hand I wanted him to be joking and on the other hand I wanted to strip off this shirt and call him up on his challenge. It was maddening. I stared up at him from beneath my lashes trying to guess if he was serious. He was waiting too for what I would do, call his bluff or brush it off? My phone rang in the middle of our silent war and the spell was broken. I took a shuddery breath and moved to pick it up while Damien took his coffee to the breakfast table. It was Mari. “Rise and shine Babe,” she chimed as I picked up the phone. “Good morning to you too,” I laughed as I turned to make my own coffee, light and sweet. “I don’t know about my morning but I’m sure yours was pretty good..” I could hear the curiosity in her voice. I laughed and Damien looked up, “Well have I guessed correctly?” she asked m
