Chapter 9: Meeting Davina Gray

To say that the look on his face didn't make me want to laugh for a century would be a huge lie!

Damien was speechless at the speed at which I drove his bike while he gave me the directions to his house. His hands were wrapped tightly around my waist as if he was fearing for his life. It was so damn funny!

The only reason as to why I wasn't saying anything was that he was trying to get himself together as we stood at the door of his house and I didn't want to make him feel anymore uncomfortable.

Damien opened the door and I entered his house after him. I followed him as he led me to the kitchen. Aria and a middle aged lady were talking as we entered but they stopped and turned to look at us.

"Penny!" Aria exclaimed as she saw me and she jumped from the chair she was sitting on and into my arms. I caught her before she could fall and chuckled as she giggled.

"Mom, this is Penny." Damien introduced me to the lady who smiled at me. Her smile looked genuine and she looked like a loving and caring mother. I could tell that this lady had elegance and was kind. She looked too pretty and young to be the mother of a high school boy.

"She's my new friend, mommy!" Aria told her mother as I placed her back on her chair. I smiled at Aria and squeezed her cheek.

"It's nice to meet you, ma'am." I told Damien's mother with a small smile. She rolled her eyes at me as she got up from her seat on the chair and walked up to me.

"I'm Davina, not ma'am. You are not a boy asking my girl out. There's no need to be so formal with me." She told me, jokingly, as she wrapped her arms around me in a motherly hug. I returned the hug with a smile.

My own mother was out there somewhere, probably too busy to even remember having me as a daughter and here this woman who just met me was giving me a motherly hug.

"I might not be asking your daughter out but I might just ask your boy out, Mrs. Gray." I said as I pulled away from her. She chuckled at that as Damien sighed and shook his head, looking down at the ground.

"Are you Dami's girlfriend?" Aria asked me. I chuckled at the excitement on her face. I shook my head at her making her smile fall, making me regret telling her the truth but it was what it was. I couldn't lie just to make her happy.

"I'm going to be late. I'm leaving. Take care!" Damien told his mother as he kissed her cheek and then kissed his sister's forehead. "And Penny, if you need a ride home, I have already asked Xander. Just call him up." Damien told me.

"Why? Can't you drop me when you get back?" I asked him.

"It'll be a little too late when I get back." Damien told me.

"I'll wait for you to get back. Maybe then you can drop me home yourself." I shrugged. Damien looked hesitant.

"Damien, she's right. If she is still here by the time you get back, you will have to drop her home." Mrs. Gray told her son.

"Okay, mom." Damien sighed in defeat. He couldn't argue with his mother. I smirked at him and he just rolled his eyes before leaving off.

"It's really nice to see another girl around Damien. Usually, parents are worried because of the number of girls they see their boy with but I've only seen Ellie around him. It's nice to see someone else around him who is not like a sister to him." Mrs. Gray told me. I chuckled at her statement.

"It's not what you think, Mrs. G." I told her. I didn't want her to get the wrong idea. I did like Damien but I wasn't looking for a relationship. Even if Damien was actually as perfect as he appeared to be, I wasn't going to date him. I don't believe in high school relationships. And I didn't want to be proved right and end up with a broken heart.
