The Undeniable Allure

CHAPTER FIVE

His kissing is rough, like it's his job. He's kissing me with such passion that his lips melt into mine. His kisses move from my lips to my neck. Me and Damien haven't done much, the farthest we've all been was making out on my bed in my sorority , so the way he's kissing me worries me. He continues kissing my neck and reaches to tug off my shirt, when he does he quickly takes off his.

" I love you so much, baby" He says into my neck.

My eyes roll to the back of my head as the words leap out of his mouth. He moves from my neck back to my lips and puts his hand on my thigh, this is going too far. I swat his hand away but continue to kiss him. When he puts his hand on my thigh again I get up.

" Damien," I say softly, trying to make sense of this whole situation.

"Don't Damien me Brook, come on we've been dating for almost  a year. If we don't have sex i'm gonna break up with you. I can't wait anymore I love you Brook. I love you but I can wait anymore." His harsh words bring tears to my eyes. There's an awkward silence till the door flies open and reveals Kaycee. When she glances at me and her eyes go wide.

" I'm so sorry, am I interrupting something?" She looks at me then him.

"No, Damien you should go." I say holding in my tears.

He stares at me then puts on his shirt and leaves. As soon as the door closes a flood of tears fill my eyes. Kaycee runs over and comforts me. I try not to cry as I tell her everything that happened but the tears keep on flowing and it can't seem to stop. What does this mean? We didn't technically break up, but then again I'm not sure if I ever want to see him again.

Three days pass, Thursday and Tuesdays are the only days I have classes this semester so on Wednesday I had nothing else to do. I called up Damien to try to make amends and he agreed to go with me to the bonfire. Which is today. Last year I skipped the bonfire to get my nails done with Anna so I don't know what to expect at a bonfire. I know mostly freshman's go and that people hide vodka in their hot cocoa, but that's about it. Around 6 I take a shower then slide into a tight fitted romper that shows off my curves, I put on back heels but put black sandals in my bag just in case. I put my hair in a high ponytail and finish the look off with hoops. I go outside and wait for Damien to come pick me up. When his black Honda Civic pulls up I expect him to look at me with needy eyes and compliment my appearance, Instead he was too busy on his phone to even say hi. I thought we were over it, I thought we were okay. The rest of the car ride is silent, he doesn't say anything and neither do I. Did I do something? When we pull up to the bonfire its already 8. As soon as we get out of the car Damien's Frat friends come and greet him like he's a god. I doze off again and tell him to meet me where I see Anna. I rush over to Anna and tell her everything that happened to me and Damien. I explain how confused I am about his behavior. Anna continues on and on about her and her boyfriend and their long distance relationship. She's the happiest I've ever seen her and I'm happy for her. Mid conversation Mike walks over to me with a huge smile on his face.

"Damn you look hot." He says, staring at me like I'm a foreign object.

" Thank you " I blush.

Anna stares at me then him, I can't tell her emotions by her face but knowing her she'll lecture me soon enough about "Boys like him". Before the conversation goes any further Damien walks up to me and plants a kiss on my cheek. He sits down next to me and looks Mike up and down. He seems to get the hint and leaves.

"Who was that?"

"He's.... my friend from communications class."

" Well I hope he knows you have a boyfriend because he seems like he likes you" He says as he pulls out a bag of gummy bears.

" He does not!" I Defend.

" Yes, he does." His eyes look away from mine and follows someone with his eyes with urgency. "I'm gonna go inside. I'll see you later, stay away from him." He demands, before I could start a fight he leaves.

"He has a point." Anna chimes in.

" Enough about me, continue talking about you." I divert the conversation.

An hour later I start to worry since I haven't seen Damien for a while. I go into the house and ask one of the frat kids if they have seen him. I look all around the house but he's where to be found. Maybe he fell asleep in a bedroom and that's why he was acting so weird cause he is tired. I open each bedroom door one by one. I go down the hall and burst open the door. When I do I see Damien in the sheets kissing a blond girl vigorously, his face blocking hers. My eyes go wide and I stare at him in disbelief.

" Wow," Is all I can manage to say as his eyes meet mine. I turn on heels and run down the stairs to the kitchen attempting to stop my tears, but a few escape from my eyes.

"Brook, wait!" He yells. His rapid footsteps sound close. He grabs my hand and forces me to face him.

"It's not what it looks like Brook,"

"Really? Well it looks like you decided to pick up a girl at a party and have sex with her, that's what it looks like."

Before he could manage to say anything the blond haired girl sneaks up behind him. As soon as she's close enough I realized he didn't only cheat with another girl, he cheated with the one girl I hate the most. Amber.

" Oh even better you slept with the slut of the whole university, you guys are perfect for each other." I yell causing almost everyone to stop and stare at us.

"Is everything alright, Brook?" When I turn around Mike is behind me, his eyes filled with worry.

"Everything's  fine-"

" You fucking hypocrite how are you going to blame me for cheating when your the one thats sleeping with him." Damien yells.

"I'm her friend, so fuck off  'ight." Mikes voice filled with anger.

"Yeah her friend until you get into her pants right?" Damien laughs.

His laughter is cut short by Mike connecting his fist with Damien's Jaw. Damien stumbles back but then swings back at Mike, who blocks it and body slams him to the floor and repeatedly punches him in the face.

"Mike!" I yell, grabbing his arm to signal him to stop punching Damien.

Even though he deserves it he seems like he's gotten beaten up enough. Mike looks up at me then climbs off him, he looks around at the crowd surrounding him

"Damien we're over." I yell before I escort Mike into the kitchen.

"You didn't need to do that for me you know." I say as I grab a towel from the counter and run it under warm water.

" Yes I did he was pissing me off, plus it was worth it" He hisses as the towel connects with his busted knuckles.

" Worth what ?" I question knowing the answer but wanting to hear him say it.

"You're beautiful, and I know at the mixer I was talking to a lot of other girls, but you're the only one I actually thought about when I came home."

" I bet you say that to all the other girls." I roll my eyes dramatically.

"Look give me a chance okay? I know you just broke up with Damien, but call me when you're ready to move on." He places a kiss on my cheek and I blush the rest of the time cleaning his wounds.
