#Chapter7

"Why do you need to ask Damon?" I asked him.

He rocked back and forth before sighing. " sky, I know you're under the impression that this is my house but it actually isn't mine"

You have got to be fucking kidding.

"It's Damon's isn't it" I state for him. He looks at me with sympathy.

" yes. He bought it as soon as he arrived " wait when did he arrive. I thought he only just got back.

I feel like this is karma for not talking to my family more.

" does that mean he's back " Christian was already nodding his head before I could even finish.

Just brilliant. With a weak smile I spin on my heel and made my way to my room. Hell, that's not my room I don't think I can even live here.

Walking into the room I dug my way through my bags grabbing a simple summer dress and went to get ready.

" dad says we're going out, all of us " Lily said barging into my room. Adam wasn't far behind but he had his hand covering his eyes.

Such a nice boy

"I'm decent" he instantly removed his hand and wrapped his arm around lily.

" why didn't you tell me this was Damon's place" I glared at my sister. I thought we never kept secrets.

"Because I knew you'd never come sky, you need to give him a chance " a chance. I gave him a chance more than he deserves.

" maybe if he didn't try and strangle me in the hallway he'd have a chance" I say grabbing a few things and shoving them into a bag.

"He did what?" Christian bellowed from the hallway.

Fuck

"Strangled is slightly an exaggeration she's an adult not a little girl dad she can handle herself" we all heard Damon say as he stormed down the hallway.

His words struck a cord in me. My eyes were burning and I knew I'd be crying any minute.

I wore sunglasses just so people wouldn't see the tears falling down my cheeks every time a memory of me and Damon comes back.

Damon was driving the jeep to the town whilst Christian drove the car that I was in. We agreed to all go see a movie and then have a meal after.

We had a reservation at a nice French restaurant. I just hoped I could enjoy this night without crying anymore.

As we arrived at the restaurant I was pissed that they had placed me next to Damon. I stood next to the table waiting for someone to move.

Lily was gracious enough to swap places with me. I caught the annoyed look Damon gave me but I honestly didn't care.

" Damon you're not going to make me eat that are you" lily groaned staring at her plate. Damon had ordered for her he made her taste some French delicacies.

" just try it, beautiful I promise it tastes good" Damon convinced her. He fed her a mussel tilting it into her mouth.

I had to look away their cuteness was too much for me.

How can I be jealous of my baby sister?

"Damon, I didn't know you had family over" a woman said appearing at the table. She obviously works here.

She placed her hand in his shoulder. " hey Jess, well I thought I'd invite them over. Close friends and family always gave me peace you know that" he said to her. He rose from his seat and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

I swear my food fell out my mouth and the most embarrassing part is that my mum and dad saw it. Dad had to cough to cover up his laugh.

" I'll leave you to it but call me later okay, a pleasure to meet you all" she says before leaving the table.

Everyone watched her as she left but soon turned back and got into conversation again.

I could feel him staring at me. I felt hot under his gaze and I could barely eat my food without my hand shaking.

I dropped my fork. I couldn't eat anymore, I realised that I was insanely jealous of that woman and even my sister.

What is wrong with me. As much as I hated Damon for what he did for leaving me. I truly loved that boy from the day he kissed me.

He is no longer my protector but rather somebody else's.

I went to grab my glass of water but instead placed it back on the table when I realised how blurry my vision was getting, the tears forming.

I discreetly wipe away a fallen tear, praying that I don't burst into tears anytime soon. When I rose my head, I knew he had seen the small motion. I cursed to myself I don't want his to see me weak. We're not teenagers anymore I can't be crying for pathetic reasons.

The sound of his chair sliding across the floor echoed in my ears. Thank god everyone kept talking I didn't want all this attention on me.

" come with me, " he said roughly placing his hand out for me to take. He stood behind me his presence intimidating.

"Please baby girl " he said low enough for me to hear. A shiver ran through me but I knew better than to cause a scene in such a public place.

I let him take me to the back of the restaurant. He brought me into the girl's bathroom and made sure that nobody could come in.

I felt nervous I leant back on the sink and waited for him to say something.

With an intense stare, he started walking over to me. With his leg, he nudged mine apart and moved between them. I had to widen my legs when his big toned body forced me to.

"No, don't do that I need to go back, my foods getting cold" I say trying to push him back so that I could get out of here. He stood his ground not moving an inch.

"stop crying and maybe ill let you" he said harshly taken his sleeve and wiping my eyes. The motion was too caring I couldn't understand what he was thinking because most of the time Hes pissed at me.

I huff in annoyance moving his hand away from my face. I think he sees that I am getting annoyed. He finally steps back creating some space for me to actually move.

I take that as my chance to hop off the table and make my way toward the door. So much for a relaxing holiday, I'm seriously going have to have a talk with my mum soon.

The rest of the night went okay, I put on a mask for my family and joined the conversation when I could.

We were back at the house now and we were sitting in the lounge. Lily was laying across Adam and she had draped her legs across Damon's lap. She was tired you could see it, lucky for her she was being taken care of.

"honestly dad, army was great but I could only do it for a few years" Damon replied as he traced circled on lily's feet. I moved my eyes over to Natalie, she sat on the sofa a beautiful smile on her face.

She was happy to have her boy back and honestly so was I. I just didn't want to admit it.

"well son, were all very proud of you and the man you've become" my dad said raising a glass. Everyone smiled and raised our glasses. Even I did.

Damon glanced at me, raising an eyebrow. I just nodded my head before drinking the contents.

By the time lily was snoring we all decided that sleep would be a good option. Apparently, Damon and Christian had arranged to have a party tomorrow. We wanted to know why but they decided to keep it a secret.

Damon and his bloody secrets.

Adam carried lily up to their room and me and Damon followed. Before I walked into mine I stopped. "Damon" I said catching his attention. He turned around his jaw tense.

"I want to thank you for my room, I really love it. Actually, this whole house is pretty amazing" I say a blush forming on my cheeks. I knew Damon liked decorating he would help Natalie out with any new things she wanted in the house.

I think he got that from his father, I remember him always working on either his own house or mine.

With that said I stepped into my room and closed the door behind me. I heard him groan from outside before I heard his own door close.
