All Chapters of Shadows & Whispers: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

As soon as she was clear and occupied by Cleo, I went after Damian. “OUTSIDE NOW!” I growled at him. He walked silently behind me. “What the hell Damian?! You’re supposed to keep your distance and then you dance with her like that! Not to mention in front of everyone!” I was raging. How could he not see what he had just done. “I know what I'm doing, little sister.” A growl rumbled inside me. “Are you serious right now?” “I know what I am doing Prue. Why do you think I invited Paul. Anything that happens tonight is in front of him as a witness.” “So, if she kissed you then what?” “She wouldn’t have. I wound her up and shocked her. She had no idea I could dance like that, so she was too busy thinking about that than the connection between us.” “You have an answer for everything, don’t you. You know this cannot happen. You need to let her go, Damian. You are going to either wreck her career or break her heart.” He paused for the first time, and it seemed like my words had su

Damian pulled a key from his pocket and walked towards the boardroom. He unlocked the door and swiped the sign to occupied. He set his laptop up and connected it to the large screen. He asked me to sit in the middle on the far side of the door. There was a camera on the TV on the wall which pointed directly at the seats so we could be seen without using the camera on his laptop. Damian took the seat next to me. Although he was within touching distance, I kept my hands in front of me on the table or in my lap. “Ok, are you ready?” He asked. “Yeah.” I said a little nervously. “Ok, so most of them will talk about figures that you may not understand but our job is to show them the data we have compiled and explain it. What I would like to do first is have them go through the sheet you have created. That’s where most of the questions will arise, and they should all be for me. But they may want to change the way the data is presented, or they may want to include other bits which is wh

I was so busy in my own little world that I didn’t hear footsteps behind me.“Are you ready.” Damian said.My heart skipped and I jumped out of my skin.“Shoot!” I exclaimed.“Taking the break, I advised, I see.” He laughed.“I thought I would make use of my time.” I replied.“You will never see Erin, slow down and stop, Damian. Erin always has to be busy.” Cleo advised.“I’ll bear that in mind.” He replied. There was a seductive undertone to his voice that only me and Prue picked up on. Damian flashed Prue a look that could have been interpreted as ‘back off’. I unplugged my laptop and followed him into his office. I went to sit on the guest chair when he stopped me.“Take my seat.”I looked at him, confused. He took my laptop from me and placed it on the desk next to us. He pressed a few buttons and began the installation of the software. “While we are waiting to load, I want to show you it on my screen.”He leaned over me and took control of the mouse. I found myself getting lo

Shock was swirling around in me. I never thought Prue would suggest that I jump in with Damian, let alone give her blessing to me on any outcome. I sat picking at my sandwich, now too distracted to eat. He didn’t even know I knew he was her brother. There were so many secrets that were not supposed to be secrets; it made it difficult to navigate through the minefield between us. Something told me that the afternoon meeting was not going to go as planned. I headed back inside about 30 minutes before my meeting with Damian. I took a seat at my desk and Cleo was beaming at me. “What’s that look on your face,” I laughed at her. “Do you remember Jason?” She asked filled with excitement. “Yeah, the blind date you set me up with.” “Well, he just broke up with the girl he was seeing and asked Jack about you.” I rolled my eyes. “I know things didn’t quite work out right last time but maybe the timing wasn’t right?” She asked. “It’s not the timing Cleo.” I replied. “She has feeling

His words hung in the air between us. His phone started ringing and I saw Prue’s name flash up on it. “You better be on your best behaviour, big brother.” She sniped. He put his phone on a loudspeaker. “We are talking, Prue. Talking, that is all.” He continued. “If she comes back and is flustered then I will know you are lying.” She replied. I couldn’t help but chuckle as Damian hung up. “I guess we should get back.” He said reluctantly. “Should I go back all flustered?” I joked. “I think if you do my head will roll.” “Hmmm,” I smirked. “Don’t you dare!” He snapped. “You said that you might stop playing unfairly. I never said that I would.” I sauntered to the door with my laptop and book. He followed quickly behind. As we got to the door of the office. “Here we go.” I laughed. I flung the door open and stormed in. I slammed my book down on the table and put my laptop back onto the docking station. I threw myself down onto my chair and dragged myself under th
