Facade

Chapter 57

Karen's pov

I strode out of the doctors office with a smile on my face. I finally got my cast off. Yippee... It feels so liberating. I'm so happy. Duh! Who wouldn't be? Try spending weeks with an itchy cast and hobbling on crutches. Add holding your self back to jump your totally boyfriend and we have a pretty shitty situation. But no more! The wait is over. I can finally do the things I want to do with Damian and Mia. My mind drifted over to that night and a frown replaced my smile. I'm sure you are wondering what night? Well that night it all changed. That night was probably the worst day of my life. I had always held on to a shred of hope that deep into that cold personality, my mum loves me. Oh boy was I wrong. That night, whatever glimmer of hope I had vanished. My life was ruined. My mother left me with a bomb to die, My dad walked into his death right in front of me to save Felix's mother. I wanted to hate Felix for that. After all, if dad hadn't gone back inside for Felix's mum, he'd still be here. But I just couldn't. Not after everything we've been through together. Besides it's not as if Felix had things easy himself. He practically lost both parents the same day. Now that I think about it, he's case seems worse. Is it? My mother had a choice and she chose to abandon me. But Felix's mother didn't. She had her choices ripped away by my selfish mother. Now it makes sense. Felix should be the one hating me. He should be the one despising me. After all, it is my mother who made him an orphan. But he didn't hate me. No he embraced the stranger he just met and accepted her. He took me and cared for me more than my mother has cared for me my whole life.
I came out of the hospital to see a crowd gathered staring at something. Curiosity burning in my skin, I debated with myself. Should I go check it out? Or mind my business?
"Come on go check it out. You know you want to"  My subconscious spoke.
"No I don't. I don't even wanna know what's happening" I argued back.
"Yes you do. Now stop being so stubborn and take a look" My subconscious shot back at me. I huffed and stomped my feet.
"Fine, just a little peak" I conceded.
"Whatever you say"
Wait! What am I doing? Talking to myself? One would think I was losing it. Maybe I was. You can never tell.
The voice faded into my head as I walked over the crowd. You would think I was walking to my death with the way I dragged my feet with hesitation. Duh! I was curious, not stupid. What if it's something dangerous? I was burning with curiosity but I was also weary of what I'll find there.
Finally I got there and frowned. I couldn't see anything with the crowd blocking my view. Gritting my teeth, I squeezed my way between the sea of bodies to get a better look and got the shock of my life. There, leaning against the door of the car, like a greek god was Damian. And boy did he look good. If I wasn't already crazy about him, this look would have done it for me. Damian wore crazy jeans and a shirt. Pretty normal to me. But nothing is normal for Damian. He somehow managed to drop panties in that simple outfit.
As if feeling my burning gaze, Damian turned and our eyes locked. It was as if time stopped all together. Everything and everyone else faded into the back of my mind and my sole attention was on him. And I couldn't look away even if my life depended on it. No I couldn't. His hypnotic eyes pulled me in and I was sucked deep. Not that I didn't enjoy it. Then time changed all together when a blinding smile covered his face. With his eyes still on me, he pulled away from the the car and began making his way over to me. Like the red sea, the crowd parted for him to walk through. They could probably feel the power and authority oozing from him. No one would even think of stopping him let alone grow the balls to actually do it.
Immediately he got to me, he pulled me into his arms and hugged the life outta me. My hands immediately came up to wrap around him. I could feel the muscles underneath my finger tips. So warm and strong. I couldn't help but lean into those awesome muscles. For a moment I forgot where we were. I just closed my eyes enjoying the delicious sensations as Damian nibbled on my ears.
"You might wanna let go now love. We are in public. We'll continue this in private of you want" Damian said as he pulled away from me. The idiot even had the audacity to wink. It was the wink that did it. I broke away from my not so innocent thoughts and looked around at the amused faces of the crowd. Yikes! I had been practically feeling him up in public. My face was burning and I was sure if I looked in the mirror, it'll be a lovely shade of red. Embarrassment burned through me. I yelped and hid my face in Damian's chest. I felt rather than heard the rumble from his chest as he chuckled. Carefully he helped me into the passenger seat of the car. With me hiding my face and avoiding meeting anyone's gaze. Quickly he got into the car and pulled away from the parking lot.
"I didn't know you missed me so much that you couldn't wait to feel me up" Damian commented with a teasing smile. Oh God save me, I groaned as I hid my face with my hair.
"Aww there's nothing to be embarrassed about, I know I'm totally irresistible" Damian bragged. Oh God, this is getting worse. I ignored him and kept my face hidden.
"You could continue in private, I don't mind" Damian drawled. This is only going to get worse. I'd never hear the end of this.

Mia's pov

"Focus Mia!" Carlisle's snapped breaking my thoughts from yet another day dream again. Sweat coated my forehead and ran down my shirt. I was panting and breathing hard. My legs burned as I forced myself to remain standing. In case you haven't guessed yet, I'm exhausted. Carlisle and I have been in the gym for about two hours now and I already feel like dying. Carlisle has been teaching me the basics of self defense and boy, it is no joke. You'd think Carlisle would go easy on me as his girlfriend but no. If it's any indication, he's harder on me. While part of me appreciated the fact there was no special treatment, another part of me (the more gruesome part) wanted to see his head on a spike. Carlisle has made me go through push-ups to the bench press to weight lifting. I was so sick of it that I wouldn't mind accidentally dropping something heavy on his head. Something really heavy. Needless to say, I was ready to crawl into bed. The door to the gym opened and Damian and Karen walked in. Both were dressed in gym clothes. Karen looked gorgeous with her perfect figure no longer covered with a cast. I took that moment of distraction to collapse on the carpet. I panted hard trying to get my breath back. I felt someone's presence beside me and turned to see Carlisle crouched next to me. His mouth was moving but I couldn't hear anything above the ringing in my ears. I yelped when suddenly Carlisle lifted me into his arms. Ignoring Damian and Karen, He carried me bridal style straight to my room and into the shower. Without taking time to pull off my clothes, he turned the water on to full blast. The hot water hit me with a shock and I screamed. I would have sank to the floor if not for carlisle's strong arms around me. I leaned into him, letting the water sooth my skin and muscles.

Here it is! I did promise to update more often. I honestly don't know what I wrote about I was sleepy when I wrote this. Nighty night
