Can't stop loving you

7

I was standing in the middle of the lounge, my hand interlocked with Damon's

We just announced our engagement

Dada and Jacob went quiet while mama gave me and Damon her blessings.

"This can not happen!" Jacob yelled

"Please don't act like this Jacob" I pleaded

"Why Mia? Why would you marry him? How can it take you 2 days to fall in love with him?"

"I'm almost going to be twenty seven Jacob, Damon's going to be twenty nine. I know it's unexpected but that's how love is. It happens at the most unexpected time, when you took me away from Manhattan the only thing I missed was Damon's presence. My dreams mean nothing It Damon isn't in it."

"When are you getting married?"

"Next week, Italy" Damon answered

"Bullshit!" Jacob said

"Mia isn't going, it's final" dada said

I tired blinking my tears back, "please dada"

"No Mia I've never once denied you but today I am I wish you respect my wishes. You're not safe with this man"

"You and I both know Mr Ford that's she's much safer with me than you or Jacob. Unless there's another reason why you're doubting my abilities?"

Dada looked away, "I won't be attending the wedding if you go ahead with this nor will your mum or Jacob"

My lips began quivering, as tears welled in my eyes

I held Damon's hand and raised it, "This right here is and will be my final decision"

"Then you have no place in this house" dada announced

"No don't do that Ford" mama insisted

I pushed my tears back and nodded, "Then your wish will be my command, shall we leave?" I asked looking at Damon

Damon looked back at me intently, wrapping his arm around my shoulder, "Yes we may"

Damon took me outside, the cold air kissing my skin

I shivered and felt Damon place his coat around my shoulders. I wrapped it tightly against my chest

"You'll regret this Mia, you'll come crying to me" Jacob said

"Don't you dare speak to my fiancé in that manner Jacob, you don't want me to become a foe"

"Fuck off Damon, I'll arrest you I swear you to that" Jacob threatened

I heard the car door close

"Take us to the airport Paul" Damon said

I took off Damon's coat from my shoulder and gave it back to him

"Keep it, you'll catch a flu. It's pretty chilly out here"

I nodded

"Are you feeling alright?" Damon inquired

I nodded again, "You think Jacob will try to arrest you?"

"He knows what's best for him. He wouldn't"

I looked outside the window and stared into the dark night

I fluttered my eyes open, I was lying in a grey bedroom with a huge king size bed. The sheets were of grey silk.

The Satan curtains still closed

I looked down at myself and I'd been changed into one of my night suits

Where am I?

All the events of last night replayed in my mind

I'm in Damon's house

In Damon's room

I was going to get up but the bathroom door opened and a shirtless Damon came out

My throat went dry

He had an extremely well built muscular body, with broad shoulders and abs

Sure I'd seen shirtless men on tv but non of them looked good compared to Damon

I turned my to the other side and avoided his gaze

"You're awake"

I nodded

"Sleep well?" He asked

"Uh.. yes" I cleared my throat "Why am I in your room?"

"Did you forget I proposed to you last night?" He asked

"No"

I heard some shuffling and then the bed dipped and my side

"Look at me" Damon ordered

I hesitantly met his gaze

His lips curved upwards

"Are you nervous Mia?"

I gulped

"N-no, why would I be n-nervous?" I stuttered as the smell of his cologne hit my nose

He smelled citric with a deep captivating fragrance of bergamot

"Are you uncomfortable with us in the same room?"

I looked into his eyes, "No, yes.. I mean we're not married yet"

He looked in deep thought

"It's the twenty first century Mia, men and women who are to marry stay in the same room. Walls have ears, you don't want my enemies to know we're living in separate rooms. It'll make you vulnerable to their attack. Besides you staying with me makes it easier for me to protect you just in case someone tries to break in. It's nothing more than that and you know it. No need to get your head wrapped around it" Damon said getting up and going into his dress

One minutiae he's trying to flirt

The next he's all cold, trying to make me believe he doesn't care

Angry, I got off the bed and walked after him into the dress

I walked up to him as he watched my every move

I'll give him a taste of his own medicine

A slow smile made its way to my lips

"What are you doing?" He raised a brow

I sensually tool steps towards him until I was mere inches away from him

I tiptoed on my feet, my lips brushing against his ear

"Getting a towel" I whispered

Then turned around and shut the bathroom door

His expressions were priceless
