The following day, I was packing my things when my phone rang. It’s a video call
from Cander
“Good morning “her smile morphed to worry the instant she saw the state I was
in “What happened?
Regret and thoughts of Damian keptawake all night. My decision to bid him
goodnight instead of climbing him like a tree – which I still wanted to do
haunted me, like the monster under my hed when I was five years old.
“I feel like shit.” I groaned, abandoned my luggage, and headed to the open
balcony. My breakfast-coffee, bacon, toasted bread, and eggs – had already gone
cold on the frosted glass table outside.
“Well, you look like shit. Leave it to my best friend to slapwith the n*ked
truth.
The video went shaky as she milled about her home. Her furninire arrived last
Friday, and she was busy playing interior design-playing the part of a perfect
housewife. Both of our hair was pulled up in a messy bun, a loose shirt hanging
from our shoulders; the only difference was that Candice looked good in it.
While I am a total mess

I tucked one leg under my bum, gazing over the dense skyscrapers in the city.
Mount Rainier in its background.
She settled on the outdoor chair where we had a nice chat last week, sipping
her own cup of coffee. “So, how was the ‘gala? You looked stunning last night, by

“Thanks” I grabbed a toasted bread and chomped down on it, then started
narrating the pleasant parts of the evening. She was ecstatic about Georgina’s
offer, excited enough to book a meeting with our on-call staff and start planning
the proposal Candice was still oblivious to Sonja’s presence in Damian’s life. All
she knew was that his step-brother was in this deal to help
I badly wanted to tell someone about my encounter with Sonja, but I couldn’t. I
need to respect Damian’s privacy. But it’s killing me. It would be nice to have
Candice backingup-
“That’s it?” she blinked at me, squinting her eyes from the sun rays striking her
caramel skin.
I don’t wanna talk about Damian or what didn’t happen between us because, if
I’m being honest, I want what he wants. I cto Seattle giddy as fuck in seeing
him again. But meeting Sonja ignited uncertainty in me. Was Damian’s affection
when he was aroundeven real? His ex was stunning. If she wasn’t married, I
don’t think Damian would ever throw a second glance my way.
“No climax” she wiggled her brows teasingly,
I snorted “Nope. We k*ssed for a show, like what we did last week. It was very
anticlimactic
“Oh She didn’t bother hiding her disappointment. I thought you two might have
done the deed by now, you know From how he looked at you last week, even
your pictures online from last night oozed with S**ual tension.”
“Tappreciate your trust in my ability to ensure your step-brother, but he’s
beyond my league
She narrowed her eyes at me. “It’s the other way around, Millicent You’re too
good for him and if he can’t make a move on
you, it’s is los”
Damian made a move last right, he confessed he wanted more the problem.
After seeing him with Sonja. I wasn’t sure if I could keep my feelings at bay
Days swelled into weeks, moving Effortless Events to Roslin City and work kept
wedding, I resumed my social media gigs. The gossip about Natalie’s accusation
has toned down, so I accepted two endorsement deals. One was for a newly
opened rooftop cafe and a burger chain.

It was Friday afternoon, and I had just finished recording the video for my
rooftop cafe, ‘Sinag content. While enjoying my free latte, I started editing my
content when Damian’s face fiashed on my screen.
It had been two weeks since the fundraiser. Two weeks of ignoring this urge to
ask him how he was He’s been rasilent, and now that he made the first move
to communicate, my heart wanted to leap out of my chest.
I accepted the video call, and my mouth went dry at the delicious sight of
Damian. I can’t believe how much I missed him. His gray curls were a beautiful
mess, framing his razor-sharp jaws as though he’d been raking them again and
again. It didn’t matter that we were not facing one another, his intense gaze had
the seffect on the butterfiies in my belly. They’ve gone on havoc, their
wings piercing my insides with excitement.
“Hey,” I smiled, tucking a loose curl from my ponytail away from my face.
“Hi Where are you?”
“Tim working” I said. “Making content for my vlog” I was about to ask him the
squestion, eyes narrowing at the familiar dark abstract painting behind
him, illuminated by the dimmed light of my apartment hallway, “You’re in
Manhattan?” I had to be sure.
“Yeah. I meant to surprise you.
“Oh
Damian leaned against the door of his Jeep in front of my apartment building.
That vehicle, where it was parked, remindedof when he k*ssedhere. He
pushed off from his car, fiashingthat signature panty-melting smirk as I
walked in his direction.
“What are you doing here?” I asked once I was within earshot, breathless. I’m

not sure if it’s from the sight of him or the walk from the cab to where he stood.
He didn’t speak. We gazed at each other and something crossed his face. He
towered over me, and his intense expression penetrated me. I gasped as our
fronts collided; he tuggedto his b*dy by my waist.
“Damian-” I heaved, questioning him was on the tip of my tongue, but his mouth
silenced me, making my world spin.
Goodness. I miss him.
My eyes fiuttered shut, wild tremors vibrated through my b*dy as I savored the
softness and eagerness of his was no chaste k*ss; it was passionate, short-
circuiting my brain. It’s filled with lust and hot temptation, a y the night where
we left things off. He yankedharder; the pedestrians walking around us and
the bu passing on the street faded into the background. Nothing mattered apart
from Damian’s demanding ki
When he lifted his mouth off mine, he keptclose to his b*dy. I was dizzy. I
needed tto gather my
“f**k, I missed you,” Damian growled, dipping his mouth for another toe-curling
k*ss.
