What?!
No, this must be a misunderstanding!
"I..."
I glance around to find people cheering and clapping rowdily, engulfing me and my thoughts with its loud noises.
I look over to Catalina standing with Hassan and she is shooting me an amazed look with her jaw dropped.
How did this happen?
I mean... I-
I have been keeping my head very low all the time I spent existing. I literally did nothing attention worthy and people still voted for me??
"Rosalie Lancaster?" The host repeats my name because I am not up there on the stage yet.
After his mention, the crowd becomes even more rowdy as people start gossiping about something. That something must be about me and where I am right now.
"Well, aren't you going up there?" Damon folds his arms as he watches me curiously, shrugging his shoulders.
"No, I... I don't want to..."
"I don't like to be a queen, I don't know how this happened I..." I ramble as I gesture with my hands wildly around.
Maybe if I stay quiet and lay low they will eventually move on and let the event begin without me.
"Miss Lancaster?" The host calls for me again.
They will ignore me soon, they will.
All of the sudden, my eyes are met with a flash of bright light, temporarily blinding me for a second.
Blinking my eyes several times to diminish the clouds that are hindering my sight, I then realize that I'm being shone at by the spotlight, being highlighted so that people get to know where my location is.
Within seconds, everyone's focus is now on me.
"Here she is, our queen!" The host joyfully announces, making people cheer and holler in response.
Everyone looks at me expectantly, waiting for me to get on the stage.
Oh jeez, now they are all staring at me...
So overwhelming and annoying...
How do I get them to stop looking at me even when I don't want to move from where I'm standing?
What should I do now? I don't want to go up there and stand with Keith. He's an ass and no, thank you, I would like to just stay far, far away from him.
But people are looking and the longer I stay the more awkward it gets!
Oh no, what should I do? What should I do?
What should I freaking do??
...
Oh damn...
I think I know what to do now.
Well...
Kill me afterwards with whatever but...
...
Promptly, I turn towards Damon, who is watching me silently, and grab him by his lapels abruptly, the action makes him vaguely twitch his brows in wonder.
I stare into his eyes, which seem to be deluged with questions regarding what I'm about to do next for a brief second before...
I forthwith pull him in for a kiss.
Our lips connect with ease and I close my eyes, initiating the kiss, having no idea how he is reacting or what he is even thinking.
I don't know anything since I have closed my eyes and blocked every other sense just to focus on this.
Erm...
Why isn't he moving?
Am I high or too wild or is he just...
Not doing anything at all??
It has been seconds and so far I am the only one who is doing the kissing. He has not been moving at all, I don't feel his lips taking me in yet.
Expecting that he will soon break it, because I admit I kind of did that out of the blue, so he must be really shocked, I begin to pull away...
Just to find myself getting pulled back to him as he now slowly devours my lips, cupping my face and entangling his fingers with my wavy hair with one hand, while the other grips my waist.
The crowd lets out a gasp and everyone starts discussing something, but neither of us cares. I hope by now they have learned to leave us alone.
"Oh, wow, um..." The host speaks and I can hear the amazement in his tone.
"It seems like the queen is already occupied..."
Yes, indeed, I am really occupied with something here, now will you just leave me alone?
Without breaking the kiss, I move my hands, which were clutching at his lapels, to rest them both on his sturdy chest.
"Well, let's just move on then." The host chokingly speaks.
Yes, it works!
But before I can enjoy more of this moment, Damon breaks it tenderly, which means he doesn't abruptly stop it, but he just slows down instead until I pick up the hint and stop kissing myself.
When our lips detach, leaving quite a bit of a longing feeling stirring within me, he gazes into my eyes. Our lips may be apart now but his hand is still cupping my cheek and I like it when he does so.
"Wow, Rosalie..."
"I did not expect you to do something like that." He speaks to me in pure astonishment, hoisting one of his brows, his breathing a bit uneven, and so does mine.
Right...
What the hell just happened?
I too can't believe I just pulled out a move like that.
What were you doing at that time, brain?
"I- I'm really sorry..." I feel heat rising up to my cheeks as I quickly look away from him to the floor, trying to hide my blush and my shame.
"I just wanted uh..."
"An excuse not to go up there..." I throw out some excuse, still not meeting his eyes.
Why did I do that?
Each and each time I'm only making things clearer and clearer to him that I find him attractive and I'm kind of drawn to him.
Well not kind of, I'm definitely really drawn to him.
I mean, I can't deny this feeling that I have whenever I'm around him. It makes me feel...
Very uncomfortable yet very at ease...
I don't know what that is, but I know that it is because of him.
I know that my body longs for his touch and that-
That has already been proven seconds ago.
Um...
"No..." He delicately guides my face towards him with his fingers under my chin, making my blue eyes meet his grey ones.
"I like it." He smirks.
