Enthrall Me (𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒅) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 69 | We Can't Be Together

"W- what?" I furrow my eyebrows, a wave of deep unease immediately spreading over my body as I process what he just said.

But before I can understand, I hear a thud sound from behind us.

We both turn over to see Samuel lying face flat on the floor, behind him are Jolene and Hassan.

...

"Oh my God-" Jolene rolls her eyes as Samuel stands up. "You leaned on too hard!"

Hassan just face palms himself.

"What the hell, you didn't tell me the door was open!" Samuel yells back.

And then a squabble breaks out between them.

I turn to meet Damon's eyes, who look disappointed and... Relieved at the same time.

"You can wait for me outside, Rosalie." He speaks lowly.

"Oh, no, that's fine, I-" I shake my head, shifting on my feet in awkwardness.

"I also need to go now..." I smile shyly.

As much as I would like to stay and question what Damon said to me, I have to leave now because it's very awkward to hang around with his members after what happened, plus it's really late now and Catalina... Oh, Catalina, I wonder what she's doing right now.

"Goodnight, Damon." I look up at him and plaster on a warm smile before awkwardly making my way to the door.

"Sam, you escort her out." Damon commands and I see Sam quickly run to me.

"Also, Rosalie, wait." He calls out to me after a moment.

I halt in place to turn my whole body around to see what it's about.

I see him coming towards me with something in his hand.

"Don't quit." He smiles, handing me my ID card.

...

I follow Samuel to his car in the parking lot. It's the same Mercedes I was in the last time.

I feel quite reluctant at first but then somehow I end up choosing to sit next to the driver seat the same way I did before.

"What is going on between you and Damon?" Samuel asks after a moment of settling in.

I'm honestly so confused right now.

I don't even know.

"I'm not sure if there's anything between us..." I sigh.

"Why?" He asks and I find us stopping at a traffic light.

"I don't know, he's very unpredictable, complicated, mysterious..." I frustratedly gesticulate my hands around. "And he never really gave me a clear idea of what we are."

"Now, I don't know what's up with him..." He hums.

"But I know that I would be lying if I said there's nothing going on between you two." He waves his hand, looking at me.

"Huh?" I glance at him.

"Everyone can see it." He muses. "Especially after what we heard in that room, there's no denial."

"W- what did you guys hear?" I wonder if they heard what Damon told me at the end.

"That something he said wasn't a lie and you were special or something." He smirks.

So they didn't hear that whisper.

Now why the hell did Damon straight up say we can't be together? Did he just shut me out of any potential relationship progress between us?
