Puppy Dog Eyes

Manly Way

Damon's POV

"Fuck no."

"Stop being a child."

"Stop being a pervert."

"C'mon we did last night." She whines.

"Yeah I was unconscious last night."

"It's my bed!" She reasons.

"Yeah I don't care." I stretch my limbs as much as I can without hurting myself and relax on the fluffy pillows.

"Fine, you win." She sighs, grabbing a pillow.

"Wait- just... stay on your side of the bed alright, I'm not cuddling you or anything."

"Is this another joke?" She frowns.

"Just get in the damn bed before I change my mind you little shit." I roll over so my back faces her.

"I know you don't wanna hear this but thank you." I can hear the smile in her voice.

"Shut up it's your bed."

"Goodnight Damon." She yawns.

"Yeah yeah goodnight demon."

///

I squint my eyes open and yawn before I scream. She's pulling up her pants, thong on full display.

"Shit, can't you go in the bathroom!" I quickly shut my eyes again.

"Sorry I thought I'd be finished before you got up, you went to bed pretty late last night."

"Mhm yeah right, you just wanted me to look at you."

"No! Not this time!"

The doorbell rang throughout the house and Lylah's footsteps could be heard going down the steps. A few moments of silence then quiet talking. Two pairs of feet came stomping up the stairs. She stands in the doorway alone with a smile on her face.

"Okay since I'm going back to school today, I thought why not bring you a buddy. I also don't trust you alone in my house." She tugs something, soon Joaquin appears.

"Hey bro." He waves and my voice is stuck in my throat.

"He's gonna stay with you while I'm at school, if you want I can get the work you missed, I know it's stressing you out."

"Y-yeah okay."

"Write down your teachers' names." She hands me a piece of paper and a pen.

"My handwriting isn't good." I comment as I shove the paper into her chest.

"It's fine I can read it." She shoves it in her pocket and grabs her backpack off the floor.

"Please make sure he eats and takes a nice hot bath or shower. He has clothes in that bag over on the couch." She hugs Joaquin tight.

"Will do but like... in a manly way." He jokes and I roll my eyes.

"Of course." She nods, closing the door behind her.

"I still can't believe this happened to you." He sighs, plopping down on a beanbag.

"I guess she told you."

"Well yeah you didn't."

"I was gonna tell you..."

"Yeah I'm sure you were, how are you now though?"

"I feel like shit, I could barely walk yesterday. Not that she would let me anyway." I shake my head.

"I see." He grins.

"What's so funny?"

"Dude, I think you're starting to like her." I give a look of disgust. "Oh come on she's innocent." He laughs.

"Even though she looks innocent, she's really a perverted demon." I cross my arms over my chest.

"No way." He shakes his head.

"You have to believe me over her, you've known me longer! Besides, she's only like that when we're alone."

"Sounds like a lie to me, she's an angel." He rolls his eyes.

"That couldn't be further from the truth, she's nothing but a perverted and desperate little schoolgirl I tell you!"

"Yet you're chillin' in her bed, you're not putting up much of a fight."

"I'm injured this doesn't count. Besides, You're the one that likes her." I scoff in annoyance.

"You're right." He surrenders and my stomach drops.

"I'm right?"

"Yeah so what?" He reaches down to turn on the PS4.

"Nothing, just didn't think you'd give in so quickly."

"See unlike you, I don't have anything to hide." He's testing me.

"I'm not, I genuinely don't like her. Like I said before, she's just not my type."

"So if I ask her out and she says yes..."

"Go for it. I won't care. Can we play games now." I groan changing the subject.

"Sure." He nods with a small smile. "After you eat."

"What, seriously?"

"You heard the woman."

That son of a bitch thinks he knows everything.
