Damien

Chapter 9

"let's change your bandage" we just got home after the accident, Damien got one of the drivers to pick us up and we left his bike abandoned on the side of the road, I feel really bad because it's all my fault that his bike is destroyed now.

He stumbles into the room with a first aid box in his hand and a black t-shirt that looks similar to mine? "what are you doing with my shirt?" I fold my arms, watching every moment of his, he sets the first aid box on the table next to us and sits down behind me "well, your current shirt is very wet and your lacy black bra is visible and even though you look totally sexy but you taken by my brother"

My cheeks go crimson, I lift my hand and smack his head from the back "you really annoying" I look down, a smile playing on my face. I remove my t-shirt, picking the other one up and slipping it on "it might sting" I nod and tell him to go ahead. I feel his hot fingers touch against my cold skin, removing the old, wet bandage.

I pick my phone up, trying to ignore the throbbing pain on my back "can I ask you a question?" he mumbles, I set my phone down, playing with my fingers "and what will this question be about?" he sighs and stops cleaning my wound "why did you get involved with drugs?" God, I thought I told him that this doesn't involve him.

I pull my shirt down, standing up and I'm about to walk away but he grabs my arm "your wound is not done" his voice is soft and almost he sounds apologetic "I can do it myself" he shakes his head and wraps an arm around me "please...." he slowly starts pulling me back to the bed "just ignore me, I'll be done soon" he says it so innocently, I'm feeling bad now.

I sit down, lifting my shirt back up "thank you" he says with a chuckle, I wonder how his voice is so much more deeper and gruffer than Daniel's, even though they are twins you can notice the difference between the two of them. I feel him move much quicker than before and soon he wraps the bandage around me "done"

He stands up, making the bed make a slight noise. He walks out of the room, shutting the door behind him. I feel horrible now, he helped me so much for the past few days even though he can be such a pest at times but he has been really quiet nice to me lately. I stand up and open the door, walking to his room but immediately stop, wait, where is his room?

I'm about to walk back to my room, ignoring the nagging feeling inside me but I see Miss Naidoo "Miss Naidoo!" I call out to her, waving for her to come over. She walks as fast as her little feet could carry her "yes my darling, what would you like?" she grabs my hand, I smile "do you have any clue where Damien's room is?" she nods eagerly and points upstairs "to your left, second door" I thank her and jog upstairs.

I come to a stop by the second door, would he even open it? Man, I'll just let myself in, I mean it's partly my house. I put my hand on the handle, pulling it down but to find it's locked "Damien" I knock on the door, leaning on the door frame waiting for him to open up but I get nothing "please open up" I knock again but still I get no response.

I sigh and turn around, bumping into a hard chest "what are you doing outside my room?" I look at him confused and then stare at the door, how is it locked? He removes a key from his jeans pocket and unlocks the door....... Weird.

"I want to speak to you" I drag each word, wanting him to pay attention to me but he pretends I'm not there.

He takes a seat on the bed, running his hand through his soft, amazingly brown hair something that Daniel does not have. Daniel always wears gel in his hair because he calls it professional but I seem to like the messy bed hairstyles. He starts tapping away on his phone, totally ignoring my existence.

"July 26th, ripped jeans, green crop top and hair the same colour, from that very first meeting your mother hated me. She didn't mind telling Daniel on the dinning table that she would want him to date someone like your cousin, Savanah" I lean on the door frame, crossing my arms and staring at Damien as he slowly stops tapping on his phone, his gaze still on his phone but I know I gained his attention.

"Gabriella started putting pressure on me, how to walk, how to dress, how to speak, what not to do, what to do in public and how to use my body as a deal" I sigh and walk inside the room, taking a seat next to Damien "Daniel was just learning how to close of deals and it was his very first one when Gabriella forced me to flirt with Mr. Jacob and Daniel up till this day thinks it's because what a great presentation he has put out there"

Damien officially switches his phone off and turns towards me, I look up from my nails and meet his intense, curious deep brown eyes "Katherine, your sister taught me a lot of things, she helped me through the shit your mother put me through but it wasn't enough...... I couldn't take the pressure, I couldn't take the pain of becoming someone I'm not and I couldn't take the way Daniel was slowly turning away from me...... So I looked at the direction of drugs, it took the pain away, took the stress and pressure away. I was finally free and able to smile just for a certain period of time, Daniel doesn't know, he never knew even when I use to go to school and be high as a damn aeroplane but he always thought I was just been funny..... Sometimes I wonder if he just decided to ignore it..... "

A hand lands on top of mine "thank you" I hear him whisper, I look down at our hands. It looks so much like Daniel's hand yet so different, I can't explain that feeling. I look up, but I soon forget to breath when I feel his hot breath fan over my face. I look into his eyes as I see his beautiful brown ones looking at my lips, our faces are so close to each other but yet so far "Damien.." I whisper, not knowing what both of us are thinking about.

My gaze soon drops to his lips as I feel his eyes on me "kiss me"
