When you read books you kinda imagine yourself as the princess or the one who gets the guy, we all do.
I did.
That was until I met him.
Damien Montenegro.
Believe me when I tell you he is every girl's worst nightmare, but to me, he was a dream come...
"So he said, you can keep saying that but I don't date fish" Damien said and we burst into fits of laughter.
We got to the Ice cream parlour and Damien was telling me about how his friend got dumped mercilessly by some girl he was into and they tried to coax him with 'There are other fishes in the sea'.

We got a lot of stares from other customers in the parlour, mostly Damien, but we paid no attention to it.
"So what's this whole exchange program about?" I asked curiously.
"Well, once every two years both schools select over 20 students and try to have a little exchange program, take it as an extracurricular activity, and in the end, said students get achievement certificates which would look good on their portfolio" he explained.
"Wow, so for how long would you be at our school?" I said getting excited.
"Till the end of the semester" he said.
I'm so happy and I don't know why. I'd get to see him every day, talk to him, have lunch, this is going to be great!! Wait...why am I overreacting? he's not even my boyfriend.
"Penny for your thoughts, Princess?" He said with a smirk.
It's like he knows what I'm thinking.
I shook my head quickly and blushed, does he know the effect he has on me? It's been barely a week and he's already flooding my senses.
"We should get going, don't you need to pick up Chloe?" I asked him, trying to change the subject.
"No, she's on a school camping trip" huh, funny, so is Aaron.
"Yes and that reminds me, can you tell your mom that my mom offers her apologies, but she won't be able to make it this weekend, she has a big case and would be out of the country for two weeks, but she said to reschedule it to when she returns" I said to him.
"Two weeks is a long time" he spaced out "wanna hang out?"
"Of all the times you could ask, you pick now?" I asked with a small smile playing on my lips "but how does Saturday sound?"
"Sounds like a date"
"It's not a date, pretty boy" I looked to him, not missing the smirk on his face.
"You think I'm pretty?" Oh no, he's getting in over his head.
"Yeah of course you are, you remind me of my dog, Rocky.....he died" I said solemnly and it wiped the smirk of his face. I burst out laughing whilst he looked horrified.
"Come on, let's go, I've got homework to do" my laughter died down and I stood up.
-----------------
"Are you ever going to invite me in?" He asked and stared at my house.
"Today's your lucky day, come on"
We walked to the foyer and put in the passcode to the house.
"Welcome to my humble abode, Dami" i threw my hands out in a jazz manner.
"Nice place you've got" he seemed impressed.
I went into the kitchen and got us two glasses of apple juice.
Apple juice over orange juice any day.
We sat down and 30 minutes later we were in a full blown conversation.
"Have you ever had a boyfriend?" Damien said all of a sudden.
"Yeah, once...You?" I said quickly diverting it to him.
My past with boys is a sore topic for me.
I guess he sensed it too, "I don't date"
"I'm not surprised, your mom kinda gave you away the first time we met" I said remembering when she exposed that Chloé liked me better than any of the girls Damien ever brought over.
We both fell into an awkward silence.
"What was his name?" He asked out of curiosity.
"I don't want to talk about it, at what age did you start swimming?" I whispered.
"When I was 5... why did you guys break up though?" He said again.
"Damien please don't-"
"Did you love him?"
"I SAID DON'T DAMNIT!" I yelled at him, absolutely losing it, "I said I don't want to talk about it!! If that's all you want to talk about then you can see yourself out of my fucking house!"
He didn't seem surprised or anything, his face was blank. He looked at me like he was trying to decifer me. I turned away. He sighed and got up from the couch and left, but not before saying,
"I'll be there if you ever want to talk" then he shut the door.
One minute we were laughing now we're arguing.
What the hell just happened?
****Author's note**** Oop, that doesn't look good. Fingers crossed that they work things out because I love love love them together!!!
I've been so exhausted with chores and stuff and Christmas is coming soon and your girl needs to chillax.
But I'll try harder to update twice or three times a day so you never get bored of reading, please don't get bored of reading. 😔
Aanyyywayssss should I do one in Damien's POV? You tell me in the comment section.
