His Golden Rose

Chapter 3

Yasmine's Pov

It feels like my heart is going to jump out of my chest. It's pumping way too fast for my liking.

How nice of you to finally join us Damien Knight.

Damien

I kept staring at him in shock with wide eyes, following his every move. I'm too scared to know what he's planning. It can be anything. I lowered my head down as my hair fell around my face, I'm nervous to look at him in eye. But being the stupid person I am I looked up seeing the same pair of chocolate orbs looking at me. My heart started to beat faster and my breathing came out harsh.

I didn't even notice Rase pulling me out of the classroom. 

"What are we doing?" I ask.

"I'm getting you some fresh air, don't worry Mr. Blane understands." She grabbed my hand and walked around the school.

"You know you can't stay away from him Yasmine," I sigh. I know she's right, I can't hide forever and besides it's my final year. "Yeah I know"

I walked up to the big Oak Tree. This is where I used to come here to clear my thoughts since the beginning of high school. It's one of my favourite spots.

Sitting at the base of the tree with Rase I looked up at the blue sky.

"Yasmine?"

I ignored her, trying so hard to keep my emotions in control.

"Yasmine" I sighed and closed my eyes.

"What?"

"I've been thinking, what if Damien changed? He's been gone for about four-ish years, you never know."

I took a deep breath while letting her words soak in. Maybe she's right I mean the last time he was here was three and a half years ago when his father was murdered in an Airport.

The bell rang for second period but I've got a free period next so I didn't bother getting up.

"I'll let you think about it, I have Legal Studies. See you at lunch Yaz" Rase got up and left for class leaving me in my thoughts.

I don't know how long I've been sitting here with my eyes closed. The clouds are now covering the sky but from time to time I can feel the sun rays burning through my eyelids. The temperature has gone down which its great but I soon felt the presences of somebody which brought my mood straight back down. I heard the person sat down besides me as I could feel them burning their gaze into the side of my head.

I sighed opening my eyes to the sky filled with white fluffy clouds -

"Rose?" my eyes widen, no one calls me that besides...

I shifted my gaze to my right and saw the Damien Knight. My God he looks even more beautiful up close. What no! Shut up!

I swallowed a hard ball of emotions, I can't believe he's here right next to me.

"Long time no see aye?" I couldn't talk, I could only stared into his woody brown eyes.

I gave him a nod and looked down when he grabbed my hand. They're so big compared to my tiny hands.

"I heard what happened last week," I closed my eyes, "and I wondered if there's anything I could do to help."

My eyes snapped open gaving him a glare, "Why?"

He looks confused, "Because I'm yo -

I lost it, I slipped my hand right out of his and slapped him. He looks so shocked where as he's holding his left check were I slapped him, hard.
