DAMIEN'S POV "Let's go, Damien," Leah said, pulling me along. I let her drag me through the crowded streets, her hand warm in mine. It had been two months since Cassian's death and the silence that followed had been heavy. Too quiet like the whole world was holding its breath, waiting for the next shoe to drop. But Leah had dragged me to an amusement park. Well, not necessarily dragged, but she said she wanted to see one, and I thought it could be a good time to get her all to myself. Watching her smile again had been one of the best things in my life. After everything she'd been through, after all the pain and the loss, seeing her laugh felt like a small victory. Maybe we were going to be okay. "Don't tell me you're scared of heights," she said, looking at me with that teasing glint in her eyes. I didn't respond. Just kept my eyes fixed ahead. She let out a squeal. "The big bad Damien is scared of heights! I never thought I'd see the day where you're actually scared of somethi

DAMIEN’S POV “So, Mr. Cross…” Leah turns to face me, the evening light catching her face making her look even more breathtaking. Her voice was soft and sweet but in her eyes I could see a glint of mischief. “I just say you've really outdone yourself this time” I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face. Everything was worth it, just to see this look of approval on her face. Then she frowned. “But im not entirely happy you know?” “Why? How?” I asked worried, had I missed something? Did I do something wrong? “You've been ignoring me.” She said in a small voice that sounded hurt. The grin faltered. “Ignoring you? How?” She stepped closer, tilting her head, that mischievous glint sharpening into something hungrier. “Well… let’s just say in some very unique ways.” Before I could ask what the hell she meant by that she dropped to her knees, I barely had time to process what was going on,she began working my belt open. Oh okay I wasn't expecting

DAMIEN'S POV I was standing by the door when a car pulled up, I'll recognize that car anywhere, opening the front door I found Jeremy standing at the entrance m He looked nervous, his hands shoved in his pockets, and he couldn't meet my eyes. “Come in Jeremy “ I urged but he shook his head “Can we go somewhere else and talk” "I don't want Emily to hear our conversation." I looked at him for a moment, something was definitely off, he was tense and jumpy. Whatever he had to say I was sure I wouldn't like it. like. "Fine," I said. "Get in the car." We drove in silence. I didn't ask where he wanted to go. I just drove until I found a quiet bar on the edge of town. We both went in and found a booth at the back. The bartender brought us two glasses of whiskey. He downed his glass in one go, well this was getting serious. "Talk," I said. He took a deep breath "Damien, I love Leah…." He started. And I almost strangled him before he could continue "......as a friend but I'm no

EMILY'S POV "Hey girl!" I squealed into the phone as soon as Leah picked up. I was practically bouncing on my bed, the sheets tangled around my legs. "Whoa, someone's happy," Leah said, laughing. "What's going on?" "Jeremy asked me out!" The words flew out of me in a rush, too fast.. "He asked me to be his girlfriend. Officially. Like, for real. He confessed and everything." "Emily!" I could hear the joy in her voice. "That's amazing! I'm so happy for you." I launched into the whole story of how it happened in detail, not leaving anything out "And then I kissed him and he said he loved me and I said I loved him and…." I paused to catch my breath. "I can't believe this is happening." "I can," Leah said. "He's been crazy about you for a long time. It was obvious." "It was not obvious." "It was so obvious. He looked at you like you hung the moon." She says with a chuckle I felt my cheeks flush. "He did not." "He did. Trust me. I've seen that look before." We talked for a whil

EMILY'S POV Hello? I answered half asleep as I picked up my buzzing phone from the nightstand without checking who it was trying to pull myself out of Jeremy's embrace. "Emily." My dad came through on the phone "Wake up. We're going shopping." I rubbed my eyes trying to blink the sleep away "Shopping? Dad, it's like seven in the morning." "I know, now get dressed. I'll be there in thirty minutes." "Why? What are we shopping for?" I said with a sigh "I need your help with something. It's important." He paused. "Please." Well my father was not one to say please so this has to be important to him "Okay," I answered, already sitting up. "I'll be ready." I hung up and stared at my phone. Well, I guess love does change some people but this was too much even for my dad. Something was definitely off. “Hey babe” I say, placing a kiss on Jeremy's chin. He stirs, pulling me closer and wrapping me tighter in his arms. “Uhmmmm go back to sleep it's too early” he mummured. “I wish I
