Cursed [COMPLETED]

6. What is this feeling?

Damien's POV

It was quite a busy day. I had planned on visiting Olivia's bakery but I was so pissed off when I found out I have important appointments I couldn't cancel.
I almost strangled my secretary but I knew it wasn't her fault.
She was a human and doesn't understand how many times I have almost murdered her because things are not going my way.

Only a handful of vampires worked for me because most of them were more of trouble makers than model citizens.
I wasn't in the mood of dealing with young vampires who were still struggling with control or old vampires who thought they were superior and entitled to human blood.
You can only cover up a few deaths before people start getting suspicious.

I was relieved when the meeting finally ended as I rushed out of the board room. I wasn't in the mood to socialize with our new business partners.
My signature on the contract was the most interaction they were going to to get from me. My right hand Elton would handle the rest.
My job was only one of decision making and it ended there.

"What's next on my schedule Sunny" I asked my pink haired secretary. She was actually a sweet girl with a bubbly personality. She was a bit immature and childish but when it came to doing her job she did it well. Very well.
"You are done for the day sir and free for the rest of the week. I will inform you if anything comes up" she said with a smile.

"That's great. Make sure to buy yourself something nice for all your hard work. My treat. Spend as much as you want" I said and she brightened up so much the room glowed.
"Thank you sir" she said as she bowed.
I had more than enough money and so she could do as she pleased because she was one of my best employees.

I got into my office and grabbed my jacket as I walked out. I was happy I could have a few days off to win my Olivia's heart again.
This time was more special because there was a chance I could be with her much longer because of Sterling's rash decisions. If this all works out I will reward him and his lover handsomely.

I looked at the address on the card before typing it into the GPRS system. I took a deep breath before driving to my destination.
I arrived about 35 minutes later. The bakery was quite far from my office but it was still okay.
The outside looked more like a ginger bread house which was just too adorable. I guess she loved the story.

I waited for a few happy children to walk out before I took a step inside the fantasy looking bakery.
I saw Olivia smiling brightly as she served her last customer before it was my turn. I missed that beautiful smile. It still took my breath away.

"Good afternoon. Welcome to the Ginger Bread House. What would you...Oh Mr Reid you came" she said with a smile.
"Yes I did. I just got out from work and thought I would pass by" I said returning her smile.
"That's great I hope you have a sweet tooth. We have all sorts of pastry goodies" she said as she showed me her selection. I did have a sweet tooth but if only she knew it was only for sweet tasting blood. One I had not had for hundreds of years now. Maya's blood was still too far from the perfect taste he craved and she had been the best so far.

"Surprise me. Put as much as you want. There are more people at home I would like to share with" I said as I passed her a US$50 bill (this is the only money I understand so yah).
While she was filling up goodies the shop bell rang meaning someone had entered.
I didn't turn to look but then my nostrils were invaded with the most sweetest and alluring scent I had ever smelled.
It only meant one thing. The person who entered carried the sweet tasting blood which I loved the most.

I turned to see who it was and was shocked to lock eyes to the now familiar brown eyes identical to those of Olivia.
Why didn't I catch this scent the first night we met? Why was his scent so sweet and alluring?
I closed my eyes as I pushed down my hunger. This is the most I have wanted human blood since I became a vampire.
Just being in the same space made it harder for me to control myself.

"Oh hello there Mr Reid. I was hoping to see your handsome face again" Oliver said and I opened my eyes and noticed he now stood next to his sister behind the counter with a flirty smile.
"Oli stop flirting with the customers" Olivia said looking annoyed.
"Well its not my fault his drop dead gorgeous" he said. Oh if only he knew how right he was about the drop dead part.

I decided to hold my breath. I was a vampire so I wouldn't die from lack of air. As long as I didn't take in his scent then I had some self control.
"Here you go Mr Reid and here is your change" Olivia said as she passed me two paper bags filled with goodies.
"Thank you" I said as I took the money first but before I could take the paper bags Oliver took them.

"Let me help you with that" he said before he winked and carried my paper bags outside.
"I'm sorry about my brother. He is a little overboard but I love him all the same" she said with an apologetic smile.
"Its alright. He is...interesting" I said honestly.
"Hope to see you again Mr Reid" she said as she waved goodbye and I did the same.

I wanted to stay longer but it was only our second meeting and I didn't want to seem like a stalker or weird. I would have to take this one day at a time.
"Do you like my sister?" I was shocked when Oliver asked me the question out of nowhere.
"What? Why would you ask me that?" I said as I scratched the back of my neck nervously.

"Just checking" he said as he looked me up and down before biting his bottom lip.
"See you around Mr Reid" he said before smirking and walking away after passing me my paper bags leaving me in shock.
He made me feel weird and I didn't like it. What's this feeling? I was afraid to even find out what this all meant.
