Chapter 24

Damon's mind came back from wandering off and he took his eyes to Roshan who was still seated on the couch.

He let out a soft sigh. “It's best that the past should never be remembered." He said in reply of Roshan's earlier question before he walked out to the balcony.

Some days later.

I was feeling all nervous and anxious. I have arranged and rearranged my whole apartment for the hundredth time now but I am still feeling it's not good enough.

“This isn't right. It should be over there instead," I said as I repositioned the wall clock from its original position at the wall directly facing the door to its new position, which was adjacent to the door.

I stood back and watched how its new position beautified and fit the room but I was still having doubts but judging by the time on the clock I didn't have any time left for any further arrangements. It's already close to 8 PM.

Just 4 minutes remaining before it is exactly 8 PM at the dot. But why isn't he here yet? I found myself looking out the window and I let out a weak sigh when I saw no sign of him.

“Has he forgotten?" I spoke silently to myself then my sad eyes went back to the clock.

Just one minute remaining and I began to feel worried, a lot worried. He said he would be coming today_ well not actually today but the weekend and this is the last day of the weekend, Sunday evening so it must be today.

I really can't wait to see him again. He is the only thought I have been thinking of during the weekend but it seemed I won't be seeing him today either.

It's 8 PM and he is still not here. I have been disturbing myself for nothing making everywhere look beautiful but he just went and ditched me??

I won't forgive him for this and when I see him he is going to get a piece of my mind.. that's if I ever see him again. I wish I did.

Being disappointed to the core I decided to go up to my room and sleep even though I know I won't be getting any sleep but staying here waiting for someone who isn't even thinking of me is a whole lot of heartache.

However as I was about to ascend up the stairs the doorbell rang and immediately my mind and heart went to one person.

“Damon." I said softly before I hurriedly went to get the door.

Peeing through the door hole I saw it was him and my heart skipped and jumped like a gymnastic.

“Ah.." I took a deep breath before opening the door.

“Hey, good evening." I greeted, trying my best to hide how excited I was but I am sure I failed.

How wouldn't I be excited when standing in front of me is the most handsome man alive! And my God was he looking even more handsome tonight.

It seems black is his favorite color as he is always in black attire. Tonight he is dressed in a black suit with a dark shade of blue shirt and black Italian shoes. The outfit fitted him perfectly so I am not complaining.

“Good evening," he greeted me back and brought out his hands that had a bouquet of red rose flowers. It was beautiful.
”Flowers for the lady." He said, like a proper gentleman and my cheeks heated up.

I didn't even know he had anything hidden at his back since I was only focused on his beautiful, handsome face.

Taking the flowers from his hands I sniffed them and they smell nice but not as nice as his sweet scent that had engulfed me already.

“They smell nice, thank you." I said and I stood staring at him for some lengthy seconds like I have been hypnotized or something.

“Won't you invite me in?" He asked and that got me out of whatever I was in.

”Sorry...of course come in." I said, trying to compose myself but I failed at that too and he smiled softly at me.

Jeez, that's embarrassing.

He walked slowly but firmly into the sitting room with his eyes scanning the room and I was praying silently that he doesn't have anything to complain about. I have tried my best to make it beautiful to the best of my powers and it's totally exhausting.

“You have a lovely home." He said and that made me happy and a wide smile formed on my face but I quickly shook it off before I appear stupid.

“Please make yourself comfortable," I said pointing at the one by one sofa and he sat down.

“Thanks."

“What would you like to drink?" I asked.

“Coffee as promised," he said and I smiled, feeling silly.

“Of course. I will be right back," I said, then hurriedly walked to the kitchen to prepare a cup of coffee.

Yuppie! I am so happy he is here!!!

It feels like a dream actually.

“What do you mean you want to go to town?" An angry Dominic said.

“Yes I need to." Amelia replied.

“No you don't. I won't let you," Dominic replied, looking very vexed.

“You can't stop me. You ain't my father," Amelia said and she wasn't smiling either.

“What is wrong with you goddammit! Why do you have to be so stubborn all the time! Why?!" Dominic was very pissed.

“I am not stubborn but I won't let no one control the way I choose to live my life." She explained and Dominic hissed.

“Have you forgotten so soon the last time you went out there to town? Have you forgotten what that red eyed, demon vampire did to you? Have you?!" He screamed the last words directly at her and Amelia became submissive but only for a few seconds.

“I haven't but I won't live with fear all my life. I am a wolf, a warrior and I am not scared to die." She said and that sparked Dominic beyond the edge.

“Ahhhh!" He screamed, throwing a punch and Amelia flinched...

However the punch wasn't meant for her, rather it was for the poor wooden tent wall and it couldn't survive the impact as his fist formed a hole through it.

“Ah..Ah...Ah.." Dominic was breathing out heavily as he tried to calm himself down while Amelia looked terrified.

Turning to face her. “Don't you value your life? Don't you value me and our relationship? How can it be easy for you to throw it all away? Answer me!!" He yelled at her and she flinched again.

“I..I don't understand what you are saying." She spoke not too confidently.

“You are ready to risk your life and relationship for him. That Damon of a man. He is the reason you want to go to town right? Who is he to you? Who am I to you? Would you betray the love we shared for so long because of one man who doesn't even care about you??" Dominic was looking sad as well as angry as he spoke.

“You are misunderstanding me babe. Yes I am going to town to see Damon but it's not because I want anything with him, you are the one I love." She said the last words wrapping her palms around Dominic's face but he took his head away.
“It's you I love, Dominic and I will always love you but I am worried about Damon. It's been days now and we haven't heard from him and I am only worried about his well-being." She further explained.

“Why will you be worried about him?" Dominic attacked her.

“What? Because he is a wolf staying in a town full of killer vampires plus he saved my life and I will be forever grateful to him for that." Amelia replied and Dominic grinded his teeth.

“He was the one who put you in that life threatening situation in the first place so you owe him nothing."

“Babe, you know that's not true." Amelia replied softly as she could see that his anger was becoming uncontrollable.

“You are not going to town to see that fool and that's finally unless you're no longer interested in this relationship." Dominic said looking directly into her eyes and his eyes were a burning flame.

Both of them were quiet for some length seconds before.

“I can't just abandon a friend, you have to try and understand me." Amelia spoke softly and she was getting emotional.

“It's up to you but I have said what I have to say." Dominic said and just then Henry, Amelia's brother walked into the tent.

“What's going on here?" He asked as he noticed the tense atmosphere between them.

“Why don't you ask your sister?" Dominic spoke rudely.

“Okay... what's the matter?" Henry said to Amelia, moving closer to her.

“Damon..I have to know if he is alright." She explained things to her brother.

Henry let out a sigh then stepped backward.

“Alright, I will go to town to look for him." He said to the surprise of both Amelia and Dominic.

“No! It's too dangerous," Amelia protested.

“Exactly and that's why I am going. As your elder brother I can't let you risk your life while I just watch, father won't like that." He said and Amelia made a sad face.
“Don't worry I will be fine." He later said embracing her.

After disengaging from the hug he walked towards the down of the tent.

“Are you sure you know what you're doing? It's a very dangerous place out there all alone." Dominic said to him.

“Then it's a good thing I am the fastest wolf in this pack then." Henry said then let out a smile.
