CHAPTER 80
Chapter 80 -CLARA- Damon and I walked out of the ring store after finally letting myself pick the diamond ring the employee had suggested and then got my fingers measured I was feeling a bit over the top, it was a first. I loved that I didn’t let anyone’s eerie thoughts about me cloud my thoughts or tried to make me feel bad about myself And I loved the fact that Damon had made me feel even better about myself. To me he was once an annoying man, but now all rock of solidarity and assurance was all I could see now. As I settled in my seat belt, I batted at the sun from the car’s window before turning to Damon, who had ignited the car. I began, “There’s a carnival happening in town tonight” He briefly glanced at me but his gray eyes gave me a get-go to continue speaking “Delilah mentioned it earlier and I was wondering if you’d like to go… with me,” I didn’t know why I was hesitant but I was. Damon let the silence between us after my question linger a bit before letting himself nod at me. “Sure” His words were brief and simple but it was enough to fill me up. Thanks,” I aired. “And why would you thank me Little devil,” His voice was raspy and had a bit of ornery tangled in it.. watche I shook my head and watched him drive away and into town. We both got home and He immediately got back to to work like the man he is. I knew we would have done a lot more if he wasn’t so busy and if people would actually try to mind their days and not talk about me. yellow summer dress that matched with my Mary-jane Now back at the house as I changed into a more comfortable outfit. Tossing the yellow shoes.
I let my body fall on the soft bed beneath and my stupid mouth started to curve up all its own. Gwen and her brothers had hopped into my room after working behind the house, and I was sure enthusiastic about their presence We were both having multiple conversations at once when I decided to plunge into a route she never saw coming “And Gwen. Do you have anybody you actually like?” The moment I asked, she stopped breathing and her cheeks immediately looked like they’d been stuffed with chestnuts. Hotones to be precise. “Why would you suddenly ask k that?” Her eyes were wide open like I had slapped her. “It’s just a question” I pressed. 1/5 Chapter 80 She sighed, and gently watched as crimson red scattered all over her features like a child. I tried not to laugh. I glanced at Steven who passed me another look before handing it over to Gwen and urged her to speak. “Go on,” Nate echoed “Let her take her time,” I added and Steven chuckled. Gwen wanted to speak but she immediately shut her eyes as if to hold out any embarrassment. Shaking her head slightly to herself, she breathed out his name. Luca, “Luca?” I repeated “Yeah, is something wrong?” She looked scared now. “This is why I decided to keep it to myself” Steven and Nate’s heads snapped at me for help. “Gwen I laughed. I shook my head at her. “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with you liking Lucas” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
*Then why did you react like that?” She looked defeated. I looked away, Luca alone, “I think it’s best if you leave Luca “What?” She shrieked. “He’s perfect.” “I know but- “But what?” Gwen snarled. I’ve never seen her look so… so much. “Look I am just looking out for you but. I think Luca has a thing for Delilah” I said. Gwen rolled her eyes, almost too gently. “Are you not fazed?” She let her smile escape her lips. “I won’t be, I’ll never be. As long as the two liking Delilah isn’t much of a threat” 2/5 63% n of them d don’t have any sort of intimate relationship going on. I’ll never stop liking Luca. Him 11:58 Tue, 2 Jul Chapter B AD I pawked at her. Thaven’t seen such fiery determination in Gwen’s eyes like this before. I knew I wasn’t the only one seeing it. I knew Steven and Nate saw it too. The way her eyes had lit up even at the mention of Luca. How much did she even like him?
Now that I was aware I could suddenly see Luca written all over her face like it was crazily inscribed. Gwen continued speaking about Luca and I couldn’t help but admire how she looked. As she spoke, Her hands moved in graceful gestures, emphasizing her words with loving emotion. She leaned forward unconsciously, eager to share every detail about Luca whom she loved so much. Her voice was soft and gentle, and Her eyes were filled with kindness and affection. Every word she said was full of honesty and sincerity. It was clear that she saw the world through the lens of love aiming directly at Luca If anyone loved like this. It would be impossible to retrieve them back if they get their heart shattered. Poor Gwen. “You need to get over this guy seriously,” Nate began. Gwen passed him a glare. “You’re way over cloud nine with him, it’s dangerous” Steven warned and I agreed with him with a slight nod. He passed me a fresh smile for agreeing with him. I left my attention back at Gwen and let my sigh end the conversation. “Oh Gwen, The day has stretched further into an early evening, and part of the sky has been stained an airy orange thanks from the dusk that was drawing near. I was dressed in a blue dress that was comfortable and stylish and met Damon outside the house who was waiting for me to get dressed. He was dressed in the same black outfit he had worn from earlier but this time he had a long coat over his body, hiding those broad shoulders and magnificent torso. His big body towered mine immediately and his deep voice took over the air in front of me. “It’s going to get cold, you need a jacket,” He warned. “It’s okay,” I said, assuring.
Chapter 50 He nodded and held my gaze and immediately I started to wonder ifI was in any way like Gwen. How did I look at Damon?” Do I look at him with loving eyes? Do my eyes sparkle when I slightly mention his name? Do I get flustered? Can he see me through? Yes. I love this man. But it would be strictly alarming if I exhibited too much love for him when I talk to him, just like how Gwen looked earlier. Π Damon and I got into town and to the carnival and like a happy kid, I was beaming with joy. While I was grinning from ear to ear Damon looked the same, cold and expressionless despite seeing the multiple colors and bright light in front of him. How could he be in an aura of excitement and still be this way. This man was impossible. “What are you doing? Let’s go!” I urged and we made it past the entrance to join the sun. There were a lot of varieties you’d want to dive into. There were so many things to seel There were colorful rides spinning and whirling around, the sweet smell of cotton candy in the air, and the sounds of laughter and music all around. There were game booths with prizes to win, and food vendors selling delicious treats. The carnival was deeply a feast for the senses, w something new to see around every corner, It released butterflies in me. Seeing me look all excited Damon asked. “What would you like to do first? Tonight is all ours,”
His words made me beam on the inside. “That!” I pointed at a smack a hammer to a mole booth and I slowly caught him holding back a smile at my juvenile choice. As we headed towards the booth, at light speed a loud explosion suddenly shook the ground sending debris flying through the air. People head immediately getting knocked to the ground by the force of the blast. Smoke and dust filled the air, making it hard to see, breathe and contemplate what the heck was happening. Painful screams filled the air, more people got knocked out and instantly killed on their spot. I didn’t know I was with someone until lelt my body moving with Damon holding onto me, while I unconsciously watched the traumatic
