(Damien's POV)

Darren and i walked down in complete and utter silence which worried me. He was never the type of guy to shut up even if it was only for a minute only meant one thing! He was deep in thoughts.

"i saw you checking out rebecca's blonde friend." I said in an attempt to break the silence.

"huh?" Darren turned his head to look at me.

"you were checking her out. i don't remember her name though."

"cindy." he answered and became silent again.

"are you going to ask her out?"

"No, she likes that brunette guy."

" is that what you are thinking about now?"

"damien, that's not even close to the highlight of the evening." Darren said looking at me sternly. "is there something you forgot to tell me?" he asked me in a very serious manner.

"what are you talking about?"

What the hell was wrong with him? It was so unlike him to beat around the bush like this. If he wanted to ask something, he would bluntly ask me face to face.

"oh come on, how stupid do you think i am? You don't think i noticed that you are interested in Rebecca jones?"

His question made me freeze on my spot. I choked on air for a minute when he asked me his question. he thinks i have feelings for Rebecca? that's absurd. She's just a friend. She's not even my type i mean she's too blunt and forward and....she's too trusting. She is someone i no doubt respect but there's no way i'll say that out loud but i definitely don't have feelings for her. i can't have feelings for her or anyone for that matter. It's too much for me. it will only make me weak and careless and that's the last thing i need to be.

"what? Are you stoned right now or did you hit your head recently?" i asked him but he just snorted at me.

"then why did you make me come all the way with you?"

"i didn't make you do anything. You wanted to come. You were the one who got excited about me apologising to somebody and wanted to watch it first hand and you wanted to come to make sure that i didn't screw it up."

"it's not everyday that i see you wanting to appologise to someone damien and further more out of interest and not for the sake of business. Why would you want to swallow your pride if she wasn't someone important to you?"

"i shouldn't have told you about this." I said frustrated.

"you didn't tell me. Edward told me and don't start with how he made you appologise. You hardly listen to him anyway. And if you are still going to deny the fact that you are interested in her, please tell me why you looked like you wanted to kill her friend when he was getting cozy with her." Darren told me looking at me with a stern look. One could tell that he was serious and not just playing around in an attempt to scrutinise me.

"i. .........well i......" i stammered to find an answer. But how could i when i didn't know myself why i reacted that way. When i walked in on Rebecca and what was his name again? Adams? Anthony? Acting so close to each other, i just felt mad for some reason. She was literally on top of him! Maybe if i didn't interrupt them, they would have kissed or something. I just felt .... i don't know what i felt. All i knew was that i was annoyed. Maybe i didn't want to be exposed to their PDA which they were probably not even aware of.
