Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Damien raised his head once more when he heard the bathroom’s door unlocking again, a small groan escaped the back of his throat..

He peeled his gaze off her, he was right! she would be the end of him sooner or later, but this was a lot sooner than he had thought..

Olivia rolled up the long sleeves of the shirt which was way bigger than her normal size, the shirt stopped just on her tighs showing off her fair and smooth legs..

“Umm..”

She cleared her throat a bit to get his attention which she succeeded in doing..

“We haven’t talked about our sleeping arrangements yet”

Damien closed his laptop and stood up from the bed, he placed it gently on the table it originally was before..

“What other arrangements? that’s a bed isn’t it?”

Olivia stared at the bed and back to him in utter disbelief, he really wasn’t expecting her to share a bed with him or was he?!

“Why don’t you just sleep on the couch? and I’ll sleep on the bed.. that’s what a true gentleman would have done but sadly you aren’t one” She snorted arrogantly..

A sigh escaped from Damien’s lips, it was suddenly replaced by a sweet smile..

“Of course! I’d have loved to be a perfect gentleman except that there is no couch! except the bed!..”

Olivia’s eyes rounded, she turned around darting her eyes here and there in search of the couch she saw few hours back just before they left for dinner..

It was right there..

She paused for a while after she got the whole concept of where this was heading to..

She pointed an accusing finger at him with a sharp glare..

“You must have asked them to take the couch away.. just so that you can sleep next to me on the bed! you’re such a pervert Mr Sterling!”

The latter chuckled at her naive thoughts, he would be the last person to do that kind of cheap move by taking the couch away, after all, it took him a great amount of self control to stop himself from pinning her under him, why would he torture himself even more?….

“Come on! if this is your weird way of getting my attention.. then let me tell you… you’ve failed really hard!”

“Why would I even seek your attention?.. forget it! I’ll sleep on the bed and you can sleep in the tub.. or maybe here on the floor” She pointed out dramatically with a mocking smile which disappeared the moment she heard his next words..

“What’s the worst that could possibly happen, that hasn’t happened between us yet?”

*Oops*

Olivia’s cheeks flushed pink realizing what he meant by saying that, he arched a brow and then a smirk smeared across his lips, just what he wanted, for her to eat back her words and stay mute for a while..

“I thought as much” he added and walked back ready to get into the bed but was startled when she suddenly pulled the duvet off and laid in the center of the bed..

His brows drew together wondering what this was all about..

A new way to trouble him? he snorted at the thought of it..

“Umm I’m quite sure this bed is big enough for the both of us to share.. you’re just being a little bit selfish by taking more than half of the space..”

Olivia ignored him and pulled the duvet over her face, she turned her back against him and released a sigh of satisfaction..

Damien’s hand around the pillow he just picked tightened, he had a hard time deciding whether to smack the pillow at her head for being greedy or to lay back gently on the bed and doze off..

He chose the latter, if he were to smack her head with the pillow, she’d make this a very big issue..

Olivia took a peek behind her when the lights were turned off by him, she felt the other end of the bed sink a little before his warm body brushed her arm gently….

Her heart skipped a beat at their close proximity, she moved forward and away from him, inch by inch until there was a little space between them which didn’t help much either..

Her heart was still beating faster than earlier, perhaps she was feeling this way because she was still traumatized by that night’s incident years ago..

At the other end, Damien was having a tough time battling his innermost desires, he failed to understand why the lady he found troublesome, annoying and daring could make his body react this way even without her doing anything..

His breathing became deep, he tried as much as possible to control himself but his last sanity was broken when her signature floral soft scent reached his sensitive nose..

He sat up hurriedly startling Olivia who was already at the verge of falling into a deep slumber..

The lights came on illuminating the room a bit, he peeled his gaze off her and walked hurriedly into the bathroom..

“Such a weird man” she mumbled in irritation and laid back down…

After half an hour of a cold bath, Damien returned back to the room and sighed, his eyes fell on Olivia who was now fast asleep..

She looked so innocent and harmless, a devilish thought suddenly crept into his mind which he shooed away the next second..

If he were to strangle her in her sleep, her ghost would still hunt him till eternity, he wondered where such an idea came from in the first place when he was trying to make things up with her..

But she was making it extremely difficult and tough for him to handle, all he wanted was his son and the only woman who can actually ar*use him..

“Trouble” he murmured beneath his breath and joined her back on the bed, this time giving her a lot of space..

Tracy yawned and stretched her body as she made her way down from the stairs, she smiled raising her phone to her face taking several cute pictures of herself..

Her eyes narrowed at one of the pictures she just took, at the background she could see a figure pulling a trunk..

She turned around quickly to see her daughter making her way out of the house in the early hours of the day and that also with a trunk..

“Rihanna?”

Rihanna’s back stiffened as she slowly turned to her mum with a surprised look on her face, how could she have not seen her?

She inhaled deeply as her mum approached her with a questioning gaze..

“Where are you going so early? and what’s up with that?”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Tracy asked pointing to the trunk beside her daughter which was obviously suspicious..

Rihanna cleared her throat and laughed out dryly, if her mum knew that she was going to Chicago to meet Damien, she’d be given one or two lectures on how to be a proper lady and how the men were supposed to do the chasing…

For real, her mum’s prep talk was the most boring thing she would want to listen to right now and lastly she had thirty minutes to get to the airport which was a twenty minutes drive to get there..

“Oh! I’m sorry I didn’t inform you about it earlier.. I’m going on a vacation mum.. I want to start my life afresh and also move on completely from Damien.. I figured out that I needed some time and space to clear my mind”

Tracy’s lips pulled up into a small smile, she was glad her daughter was taking such a huge step but deep down she was upset, upset that her precious little girl won’t be a part of the Sterling’s because of Anita, Damien and that leech named Olivia..

*I wouldn’t say that Mrs Brown.. Rihanna is the real leech*

“You should have told me earlier.. but either ways, take care of yourself and be back before the birthday party this weekend”

Rihanna nodded and embraced her mum briefly, she pulled away from the hug and turned around leaving the house..

A devilish grin graced her face…
