Metanoia

Chapter 18: Damien Mcknight's Bestfriend Was Trash!

Acacia Mcknight

"Acacia? Wake up, it's time to wake up"

You know one thing I hate more than Matthew? Is someone waking me up when I am having a chocolate dream. I am dead tired after the flight and now won't you let me sleep!?

I shifted to my right, covering my face with the pillow but soon it was yanked out of my hold.

I groaned loudly, almost like a bullfrog.

Why are you so embarrassing, Casey?

"Acacia, wake up" I am so sure this is Damien. I will smack him once I'm fully conscious.

Hell no beach! Don't touch him!

"Look here, doofus! Let me sleep!" I yelled, annoyed when my blanket was thrown away from me.

I felt like a mom losing her kid in the crowd. My blanket!

Suddenly, I felt a hot breath on my face as warm, slender fingers wrapped around my wrists.

Should we open our eyes?

No, I don't think so

I kept my eyes tightly shut as I breathed in deeply.

"D-Damien? Is that you?" I asked as someone hovered above me.

What if it's some creep? 

Stop spitting nonsense, Casey, you and your useless imagination hurt my brain.  

"Are you up now?" My eyes shot open the moment lips made contact with my neck, leaving a trail of goosebumps on my back.

I opened my eyes and the first thing I noticed was the proximity between me and Damien. Obviously, he was smirking as he moved away.

"Why wouldn't you just let me sleep, Damien?" I asked, crossing my arms in front of my chest.

I looked around and the room was different from the one I was in last time. It was dark and huge, I think it's a billionaire thing to have such dark rooms. Also maybe a bachelor thingy, who knows?

"You didn't eat the whole time, I woke you up for dinner" He explained, running a hand through his hair, messing them up a little.

Damien was wearing just a pair of sweats and a light fabric dark blue t-shirt along with sneakers.

Wait for a hecking second, what on earth am I wearing?

I looked at my clothes

"Looney tunes!" I exclaimed, jumping from the bed.

Finally! No more lingerie!

I walked over to Damien, "How'd you get this?"

He shoved his hands deep in his pockets, dayum, he looked smoking hot with his hair messy and green eyes all playful, "Mom sent your things here, and before you think I changed you, no I didn't, Stacy did"

I leaned in, putting my hands on his shoulders, "Are you scared you might lose control if you see me without clothes. Didn't know you were the shy type, Baby boy"

Stop Casey! He's smirking! Stop it, doofus!

Damien took a step towards me but I stayed my ground, not moving one inch. He grabbed my waist, bunching the fabric of my shirt, revealing a little of my skin. I moved my hands to his chest, raising my eyebrows teasingly as he walked back with me.

"You are scared, aren't you?" I teased before my back hit the cold wall and Damien pinned my wrists next to my head, leaning in.

"Babygirl-"

'Sir, It's Madam- Oh I'm so sorry!" Stacy squealed, slamming the door shut as both our heads turned to face the door.

Damien instantly moved away as my cheeks heated up. Oh lord!

He opened the door, walking out as I followed him like a lost duckling. His penthouse is just massive, I can't believe I'll be living here.

I saw Damien grab his phone from Stacy as he looked away, embarrassed, walking to the living room.

My books were placed neatly on the shelves as I walked past the supposed library.

"Maam, I'm so sorry," Stacy said as I sat on the kitchen chair.

I quickly shook my head, nervously giggling, "That's fine, Call me Acacia, please"

A look of surprise appeared on her face as she shook her head, "I'm sorry ma'am. I cant. Damien Sir wouldn't appreciate it"

Ah, Damien Damien Damien. he's so hot and powerful.

"Don't worry about him, just call me Acacia, trust me, he wouldn't say a word" I said, settling down.

She nodded as I turned my gaze to Damien, who walked towards us.

"Sir, would you be having dinner now? Or shall I send it to your office?" Stacy asked as I looked at Damien. He was looking down at his phone, typing something.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to eat, Acacia. I'll see you in the morning then?" Damien said and I looked at him, frowning.

"Is it important, Damien? I mean you haven't eaten either" I whispered slowly but he just smiled briefly.

"It is important, I'll be in the office then, Acacia, feel free to do whatever you want" And that's all he said before his hands glided across my back and hair, and he walked upstairs.

I'm sad now, lonely lonely!

"It's okay Acacia, Sir doesn't eat often" I stared at my food.

"Why, Stacy? It's important for him, he prioritises work over health" I said, and not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed because Damien's lifestyle is very unhealthy.

"Acacia, he used to live alone, Claire ma'am wouldn't be home until late and he is always busy. He only has lunch and barely any dinner. Never breakfast"

Claire again, she's ewwy.

"Um.. Stacy, who did.. Claire elope with?"

Stacy's eyes saddened as she served me the food.

I asked her to sit as she was reluctant at first but she did, nevertheless.

"With sir's bestfriend, Xavier Davis"

My eyes widened and fell out of their sockets as I choked on my food, "Xavier Davis!? T..The actor?"

"Yes, he was young master's best friend.. They knew each other since childhood"

I think this is enough for me, I might explode if she tells me more. RIch people make friends with rich people.

Damien will not like our snooping, he'll be so angry!

"Stacy, would you give me some for Damien? I'll go to his office" Stacy looked surprised as she nodded.

I just tapped my foot, seems like Damien's life is much harder than mine.

I can't believe I found Xavier hot, disgusting.

Ikr, he is just trashy!

********
Buttery buttery butterflies!

How will Acacia react if she actually meets Xavier?
