The smell of freshly baked bread spread across the entire mansion and had even awaken me from my slumber. I lazily dragged myself out of the bed to ease my sudden craving for bread.
I rubbed my eyes a couple of times trying remove the sleepiness in it and so I could find my slippers. I also checked the time and was shocked as how I could have such strong craving at this hour.
The light in the lounge was dinner and I couldn't see a thing as I walked pass it into the kitchen, there were some chefs who were still awake to prepare the early morning breakfast which included the bread.
I personally couldn't wait for the next six hours to eat mine and had requested that I be given mine to eat. They gave it to me with a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, ice cream of all kind. I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it but I was wrong, I kept stuffing my mouth like a glutton without waiting for most of the food to digest.
The chef who was with me in the kitchen asked me if I was okay with what I had eaten and it pushed me to ask for more.
I went back to bed with a heavy tummy. I was still restless and came down down again to request for just fried chicken. Like that wasn't enough I added chips along with it.
I have never in my twenty four years of living consumed the amount of food in just an hour and I was super scared that I might gain weight, losing the weight was a whole different ball game than gaining it.
The chef helped me walk my way to my room. I tried unlocking my room with my key but it wasn't going, then I tried again and again until Damon opened it from the inside.
I was really surprised to see him since he never told me he would be coming tonight. I quickly closed the door before anyone would see us especially now that Alicia was already plotting things behind the scene.
"What are you doing here?" I asked in a hush tone trying to move away from him and head to my bed.
"You don't seem happy to see me, why is that?" Damon asked leaning closer to me on the bed.
"Mood swings" I said trying to hide my face from him.
Damon turned my face to face him before he touched my lips and wiped away tomato sauce from it. "You went for a midnight snack, which explains why you took your time, I actually thought otherwise....."
"We're you thinking that I had gone to spend sometime with a lover?" I said in a rude way that made him keep shut.
We were both silent for a while before he spoke, "Did I do something wrong? You have been a little distant towards me and now with the attitude, or didn't you like the flowers....."
But we haven't been close before
I closed my eyes trying to suppress in some feelings. Damon doesn't know that what I did was a mistake and that there should be nothing going on between us at this point which is why I needed to clear him.
"Damon I need to rest, I am really tired can we talk about this later in the morning" I said to him still trying to shy away from his gaze.
"Alright" he said leaning in for a peck on my forehead but I shifted away letting it land on my pillow. "I am inclined to feel yesterday wasn't something you wanted and you actually regret doing it, I really hope it isn't true but I know that it is, if you want to act like you didn't kiss me and we didn't share what we shared then I will do that"
His words were really touching and it sounded like it came from a place of hurt. I didn't cry nor waver, why should I when this is all that I wanted and it is happening the only problem was something in me pushed me to hold him back from leaving.
This first time I had held his palm, it was so rough and large. I rubbed it in a gesture to stop him and he didn't leave. I was so happy when he knelt down beside me again.
"I am tired but I can't sleep, please sing me a lullaby" I requested, to what right do I have to request someone such as this from him.
"I am not good at singing, how about a book?"
"A book will be fine but I actually want to hear you sing, maybe next time"
"Twinkle twinkle Little star....." He attempted to sing me the lullaby.

I laughed immediately he started which made him stop singing.
"No don't stop please" I pleaded.
"I know my voice sounds horrible, you just want me to embarrass myself" he shifted closer to me.
"No I don't"
We continue to go back and forth until Damon joined me on the bed. We laughed all through the night and I did enjoy his company. He didn't even bother trying kissing me or anything, he was just warm and nice.
When I woke up Damon had already left but he did leave a red rose on his side of the bed. I sniffed on his pillow to take in his breathtaking scent, believe me when I say that he smells manly.
We spent most of his working hours chatting on the phone and even while I was shopping with Alicia I was busy speaking to him, I know that this crazy but I love the attention.
I couldn't help myself from imagining the unthinkable. For those few days he came to my room I knew I was being stupid and unfair to him cause while I was busy enjoying Damon's company and possibly leading him on, I was also bleeding that Xander had started avoiding me again.
God help me.
