The Only Exception のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Olivia SummersFor a minute, I almost believe what Damon said but then I realize that he's just trying to make me fall, a classic casanova style: compliment you and tell you things no one else told you so you can feel special even when they're just toying you. I know their kind too well. I'm not proud but I've been toyed by the likes of him. I was the subject of bets of all sorts because I was the weird and hopeless romantic girl everyone knew.Damon was no different. He was a casanova. Always will be. Damon sat beside me and said, "Well, we're definitely lost." "Why are you sittting beside me?" "I wanted to." "Gross." Damon snickered, "Woman, you will be swayed. Sooner or later." "Keep dreaming." I grinned confidently, "No matter what you do, I will never fall in love with you." 

Damon AshtonWith my loose gray shirt and black sweat shorts, hair slicked back showing that clean shaved line and my go-to black kaishi run, I went to room B50. This is how I run away from things like... feelings. Unnecessary feelings. Complicated feelings. "What took you so long?" She asked in a flirty manner as she touches her lips, "Your other girlfriends?""Sorry." I put my hands around her waist and kissed her, "Still mad?" She grabbed my shirt and pulled me inside her room. "I'm still debating about it." I smirked. Rule number one: you gotta have fun but when you're done, you gotta be the first to run.  So, after things happen, a casual flirting goes a long way. I left her along with a note, 'Thanks for having me over.' Rule number two: just don't get attache

Olivia Summers With that stupid Kyle out of the way, so now what? How do I face Damon, after forcing a kiss on him all of a sudden? God, this will be the death of me! I mean, I've done a lot of crazy and unusual things. I've been rejected in public. A lot. But nothing ever comes close to this kind of embarrassment! What was I supposed to do? How am I supposed to react? What do I say?My mind is racing with thoughts. How can he stay calm in this situation? I mean, I haven't looked around to see because I'm too embarrassed but I can only imagine that smug look on his face! I can't believe I'm blushing over this!Get over it, Olivia, you're not some highschool kid anymore.I was embarrassed but I managed to face him without looking at his face, I was all red from embarrassment, I apologized, "Sorry, that was- I wasn't expecting that either, sorry, I was careless.""You think I'll accept that apology?" Damon asked with that annoying smirk on his face, "You kissed me, Olivia.""I'm sorry

Olivia Summers I watched there as Damon took care of his dad and tucked him in with a warm blanket, he kissed him in the forehead, "Goodnight dad." I never saw that gentle and warm side of him. It feels more like, it wasn't that I didn't see it, it was just that he purposely hid it from the world. But at the same it, it feels exactly like Damon. I've always seen it actually. That behind all that bravado, he's a good person. It was just that he was trying so hard not to be. Or maybe, I refused to see it. I refused to see any reason to like him because he... reminded me of myself. It was like looking into his eyes, I see myself. Abadoned and incomplete. I didn't want to see it because looking at him made me want to confront my demons and fears and I wasn't ready to do so. But then again, I don't think I'll ever be ready. It wasn't really a matter of getting ready, it was a matter of whether I would be braver this time to actually take the first step into facing it? While I was pre

Olivia Summers How nice it is to have a family, someone you can come home to. The laughters, smiles on their faces seems warm. I finally saw Damon laugh for real without holding or hiding anything, I saw Dylan happy with Summer and with that peace of mind shows in his face.Truth be told, it made me a little envious and I felt a sharp sting in my heart. But also, it struck me. I finally made up my mind.After a few minutes, we cleaned the table where we ate and Summer and Dylan took care of the dishes. I changed into my pajamas and went outside to stroll for a while, suddenly Damon appeared in front of me, "Miss me?""Yeah, I was about to but if we weren't together just 5mins ago" I mocked"Aw, I'm touched. You just admitted you missed me.""I speak fluent sarcasm so if your tiny brain can't seem to grasp that," I continued, "I didn't miss you so please go away and let me have my peace for five minutes.""Never, part of the routine, anyways, where are you going?""At the convenience
