Chapter 11

I began my afternoon with lunch at Pete's Diner for some lunch. I had hours ahead of me of nothing but shopping. I needed a complete new wardrobe for the vacation. Damen would be by early in the morning to get me tomorrow so I had to get all my shopping and packing down today.

The waitress had just taken my order when a voice to my left caught my attention.
"Scarlet Capuche is that you?" It took me a minute to collect my thoughts and remember who this girl was.
"Yes." I smiled brightly.
I did in fact remember her. She was my middle school best friend. We had stopped talking shortly after her parents shipped her away to boarding school for high school.
"Silvia wow it's been forever."

She joined me by the table. I stood up to greet her.
"My oh my it has been. Look at you. You are even more gorgeous than I remember." Silvia pulled me into a hug.
"Yeah. We both have grown up a lot since the last time we saw each other."
"So how have you been? I heard about your parents. It's such a shame."
"Yeah it was. Hey would you like to join me? I'm just having a bit of lunch before I head down to Georgia's Boutique. I'd love to catch up."

We sat there for about an hour just talking and cathching up. I found out she was married and worked in the big office building as a receptionist. I told her about Damen and how serious we were getting. She couldn't believe he was the first guy I had ever been serious with.
She had expected me to marry Zack. He was my elementary and junior high boyfriend.
"Zack and I didn't even make it to our sophmore year. We broke up before the end of freshman year."
"That's such a shame. He was a hottie."
We laughed.
"Damen's much hotter than Zack could ever be."
"Oh I'll have to meet him then. So I've got nothing to do for the rest of the day. Would you like me to join you and help you shop for something sexy to where."
I agreed. It'd be nice to have a second opinion. We paid for our bills and headed down the street to the boutique.

I searched the racks for some new outfits first. We were going to Sunlit Tides and the weather there was always warm and beautiful. Silvia helped me pick out several outfits and gave her opinion when I tried them on.
It was nice hanging out with her again. I had missed her badly when she had left. None of my other friends could ever replace her. Of course when I moved I stopped talking to all of them. Friendships didn't really last long distance with them.

After I had several outfits a couple of lingerie and a new swimsuit I helped Silvia pick out a couple of outfits. She told me that her business was having a charity event and what she was wearing was the fanciest thing she owned.
We spent a total of two hours in there together. We talked as if she never went away. It was like being in junior high all over again. Silvia was really a great friend and I'm glade we ran into each other.

When I was happy with all of my new outfits we headed to the register and I paid for all of my items. After paying for the clothes my money was almost gone. I had saved all my checks up until I got the car. Luckily Damen had told me that the trip was completly on him.
I offered to help pay and he refused. I wasn't even aloud to bring any money or a credit card with me. The independant part of me wanted to argue with him. But eventually the female in me took over. You tell me who wouldn't love the idea of a completly free vacation with the person they loved.

Our last stop was the day spa. My boss had given me a couple of free coupons. We spent the rest of our day there getting a pedicure and manicrue and last but not least a massage.

The massues really knew what she was doing. I became Jello under her touch. Every bit of stress poured out of me leaving my body completely relaxed.
This was nice. Now I see why our customers always leaving with a huge smile on their face. I have to admit this was almost as good as sex. Almost but not quite.

After our sessions we said our goodbyes and headed home. I still had a lot of packing to do and it was already getting dark. Plus I'd need to get plenty of sleep.
I tripled checked my suitcase to make sure I had everything I would need. I wanted to have a peace of mind so when I fell asleep I stayed asleep. If not I'd wake up over and over again wondering if I forgot to pack something.
After a quick bit to eat and a shower I was finally ready for bed.

With my body relaxed and my mind at ease I was able to drift off pretty quickly to sleep. Wonderful dreams came to me. All of them were about Damen and I one way or another. Whether it be Damen rescueing me or about the future with him. I dreamed of a beautiful white gown with flowers everywhere and Damen standing at the end of a walkway in a tux.

Chapter 10

Sleep eluded us all night. We couldn't seem to keep our hands off of each other. We would finish and lay there for a few minutes and then start back up again. I knew I had to be at my appointment with the advisor for college but I didn't care.
I was comletly lost in him. Our bodies were one. We breathed together, moaned together and came together. I had never knew that I could feel so connected to someone.

When we weren't making love we were cuddled in each other's arms. He must have told me he loved me about a hundred times.
His body was to die for. His scent drove me wild. It was as if I was a feral beast that needed him to survive.
When I thought we were about to fall asleep something would take over me or him and the next thing we knew we were entangled into each other once again.

It was about eight in the morning. I had to meet the advisor at ten. I headed into his bathroom to take a shower.
I had just washed my body when Damen came in still compltely naked. I caught his eyes for a moment and it was as if he could read my mind. He joined me in the shower and once again inserted himself in me.

I don't know how we managed it but we got dressed and made it to the community college right on time. I thought we were never going to pull ourselves together. Neither of us could keep our hands off of each other.
He was like a drug to me. I needed him to touch me our I'd lose my mind.
Damen decided to join me. We weren't ready to leave each other quite yet. Plus I didn't have the slightest clue where the college was.

We found Mrs. Prichard's office pretty easily. The school was quite small. A whole lot smaller than the university back in Bridgeport. It was actually quite nice. I would enjoy smaller classes more than I had the huge class's I had taken.
"Hello Scarlet right?"
"Yes and you must be Mrs.Prichard. It's so nice to meet you."
"Please have a seat." She pointed to the two chairs in front of her desk.

We took our seats and Mrs. Prichard sat behind the desk.
"So you went to the university in Bridgeport. What were you studying?"
"I studied writing. I finished my freshman year before my parents accident."
"Yes I heard about that. I am so sorry for your loss. I went to high school with your mother. She was the nicest person I had ever met."
I swallowed hard trying not to start crying. This happened everytime I started talking about either of my parents.
"So is writing something you'd like to continue?"
I had thought long and hard about that. I really did enjoy writing and it would be such a shame if I didn't continue it.
"Yes. I would also like to minor in studio art."

"That's wonderful. Let me get the paperwork for you. Once you're done filling that out I'll take you on a tour of the classrooms you'll be in."
She dug through her desk drawers and pulled out a stack of paperwork. It took me about fifteen minutes to fill all of them out. They were the application, financial aide, and release forms for my credist from Bridgeport.
I handed her the papers and she smiled brightly.
"Ok I'll get these filed and we will start processing them right away. I'll call you in about a week no more than two weeks and let you know everything you need to about starting. Now if you'll follow me I'll show you the classrooms.
She stood up and we followed her out of her office.

We walked into the first classroom. She explained that this would be the main room I'll be in for all of my writing class's.
The good thing about community college's was that I didn't have to take any extra class's I wouldn't need. I could start working on my degree right away.
The classroom was pretty basic. Few pictures hung on the walls and other than that it was plane. There was a positive side to that. I wouldn't have a whole lot of distractions.
"Our classrooms are very small. It's a good thing. The teachers will be able to be more hands on with the student's."

We headed down the hall to another room.
"This is the art studio. Mr. Hall is a great artist and teacher. I know you'll just love him. He an easy going guy. Not very strict at all."
She took me around the halls and explained everything I needed to know. I was becoming extremely excited to go back to school. I couldn't wait till I could start my class's.
I had always enjoyed school growing up. I had my doubts that I'd be able to do it since the loss of my parents. But Damen has really helped me alot. With him by my side I knew that I could do anything I set my mind to.
After she finished the tour and we said our goodbyes Damen drove me home.
I couldn't wait to tell my grandma about the vacation Damen was taking me on. I just hoped Jessica could work the extra hours.

Grandma and Jessica were sitting at the kitchen table when I came in. They were talking about the news today. Something about a young girl found mauled to death in the woods near our city line. I didn't get the whole story and I wasn't really paying attention. I was too excited to tell them my news.
I waited till they were done talking before I spoke.
"So Damen is going out of town next week, and he's asked me to come. It'll be a vacation. He told me it's at a really nice resort. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind picking up some extra hours next week Jessica. I want to make sure Grandma is taken care of before I make arrangments with my boss to leave."

"That's no problem at all. I love spending time with Agnes. I'll be glade to get to see her more next week."
"Oh that's great. Thank you soo much." I was so happy that I felt like jumping up and kissing her.
"A resort hunh?" Grandma had a huge grin on her face.
My cheeks burned bright red. My grandma wasn't stuck in the old days like most grandparents. She knew that it was common for couples to have sex before marriage. I was still embarrassed that she was thinking about it.
"I'm so glade to hear that you too are getting along so well. I mean you must really like each other for him to want to take you out of town for a whole week."
I sat down there for awhile and talked to them before I headed up to my room.

I found my work number in my contacts and hit the send button.
"Sunflower Spa how may I help you?"
"Hey it's Scarlet. Can I speak to Christy please."
Christy was my boss's first name.
"Oh hey Scarlet. Yeah hold on one mintue."
She put the phone on hold and some cheesy music began playing. Not even a minute later Christy's voice came on the phone.
"Hi Scarlet how are you doing today?"
"I'm doing great. I know this is kind of short notice but do you think I can take next week off. Damen asked me to go out of town with him."
"Let me check the schedule to see if I can get it covered."
I heard some rustling as she searched the schedule.
"Yea it shouldn't be a problem."
"Thank you soo much." Excitement filled me.
"No problem. You have a good time Scarlet."
I said goodbye and hung up the phone.

Everything had fallen into place. I was ecstatic. I found Damen's number and called him.
"Hey Scarlet. Miss me already."
"Of course I do." I couldn't help but to giggle. "Guess what?"
"Hmmm...." He thought a moment. "You're naked."
He knew how to make me laugh that was for sure.
"No silly. Jessica agreed to take on more hours and my boss is letting me have next week off."
"That's great. I'm so glade that you can come with me. We are going to have an amazing time. A whole week in a room just me and you. Oh the things we can do."

After talking for about a half an hour we finally got off of the phone. I headed downstairs and joined Grandma and Jessica for some lunch. I had so much I had to do to get ready for next week.
I was definatly in need of some shopping. I didn't own a single piece of lingerie. Plus I'd need a new bathingsuite and some new outfits. I would go tomorrow before work.
This was the first time in a long while that I was truely happy. I was madly in love with Damen. I had a job, I would be starting school soon, and I had my first car. Life couldn't get any better.

Chapter 9

::Warning. Nudity and strong language in this post::

 

Dr. Hemlock suggested we get a home health aide to help my grandmother while I wasn't home. We interviewed several different companies and aides until we found Jessica Fields. Her personality was lovely and she seemed to really have a passion for taking care of people. She did her job well and grandma was very pleased with her. I felt comfortable leaving the house when I knew Jessica was there. She was in good hands.

Damen finally decided to take me to his house. I was excited to see where he spent his time away from me.
"Wow. A white picket fence?" I was shocked to see the fence.
"Yeah. What's wrong with it?"
"Just never pegged you to live in a house with a white picket fence and such a nicely manicured lawn."
"Don't let the completely normal outside fool you. Inside is a man's paradise."
We laughed all the way to his front door.

But as we reached the door Damen's mood did a complete 180. The laughter was cut short and the smile faded from his mouth.
A male stood there and from the look on Damen's face he wasn't to happy that he was there.
He was grungy looking. Someone you'd expect to see in a biker bar. He was attractive in a rough sort of way.
"You've been ignoring my calls Damen. That's not very nice." He spat the words at Damen.
"Jossten this is Scarlet."
"Oh. Nice to finally meet you Miss Scarlet." I offered my hand to him and he took it.
He planted a kiss on the top of it. His lips were rough and his stubbles scratched my skin.
"I've heard so much about you but unfortunetly Damen's decided to keep him all to himself. I can see why. Your beauty is captivating."
"Scarlet go inside. I'll be in, in a minute." I had never heard Damen so serious.
I didn't argue with him. The way he was acting scared me enough.

Inside I stopped byt the window and saw Damen immediatly blow up on the guy. I was intrigued by Jossten. He had been so nice to me but here Damen was being livid with him. I wondered what could have happened between the two of them to have caused Damen to tense up like he had. I watched them argue for a few minutes then began looking around Damen's living room.
I was curious about the place this being my first time here.

 

::Damen's POV::
"So what now she's more important than the pack?" Jossten spat. "You haven't shown up to our meetings in over a week now. How could you let a stupid human girl get in the way?"
I knew Jossten was pissed and maybe I shouldn't have skipped out on the meetings but with the way the meeting had gone the last time I was there I was pretty pissed myself. All of the pack members had ganged up on me and told me I needed to get rid of Scarlet.
She was a distraction and an unecessary risk to not just me but all of them. Atleast that's what they had said.
I didn't find Scarlet a risk. I trusted her. Sure I hadn't divulged my secrets to her. Mainly because I was afraid of her reaction. But I loved her. I couldn't get rid of her. And yes maybe that was selfish of me.
I knew the risks when I started seeing her. Honestly I didn't think our relationship would grow this fast. But it had, and I'm not backing out of it because they all think I should.

"Jossten I'm tired of your shit. You don't own me. No one does. I'm free to do and see who I want. Leave me the FUCK alone. She doesn't know anything about me or the pack. She's no risk and she's a wonderful distraction. I love her and nothing any of you do can stop me from seeing her. Tell that to the rest of them and leave me alone. I'll come back to the meetings when I know you'll all leave me alone about her."
With that off of my chest I dismissed him and headed inside.

"Who was that?" Scarlet asked once I was inside.
"Just a friend."
"Well in my honest opinon friends don't argue like that."
"It's none of your business." I snapped and immediatly regretted it.
The look on her face stung me. She was hurt.
I took a deep breath to try to settle my nerves.

"I'm sorry Scarlet. It's a long story one I don't want to get into now. We both are in disagreement about something and he's trying to control me."
I tucked in a lose strand and caressed her check softly. I felt like complete shit for snapping on her.
"It's ok. I'm sorry for being nosey. It really isn't any of my business."
I smiled softly. "Let's head upstairs and have a drink. I really need one."
She nodded her head and I took her hand and lead her upstairs and outside to the balcony.

::Scarlet's POV::
I watched as he poured us a couple of drinks. His balcony was amazing. He had a bar, a grill, and a hot tub. From what I've seen of his house it really is a man's paradise.

He handed me a drink and then gulped down about half of his. I took a few sips not wanting to get too buzzed. Amazingly the liquid went down my throat smoothly. The one thing I hated about alcohol was the strong over powering taste. This one didn't have that. I could see myself drinking glass after glass.
I saw the alcohol he poured into the glass and it probaly wouldn't be a good idea to drink more than one. The alcohol's were strong and I would probaly feel it after this drink.

"Wanna take a dip?" He said pointing to the hot tub. I nodded my head. We headed inside to change. I changed in the bathroom while he changed in his bedroom. After I was finished I headed back ouside and joined him in the hot tub.
He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me closer to him.
The water was relaxing. It helped work out the tenseness in my muscles. I felt like jello after about ten minutes. It was a nice feeling.

"Scarlet I love you."
It was completely out of nowhere. I had had strong feelings for him for awhile now and I wasn't completely sure he felt the same way. I was shocked and speechless.
I could see the hurt form in his eyes when I didn't say it back. I knew I felt the same way it was just all so sudden.
"I love you too Damen."
He grinned as he pulled me in for a kiss.

After about five minutes of making out he pulled away from me.
"I have to go out of town for a few days for work."
My heart fell. Spending several days away from him would kill me. Especially since we had just declared our love for each other.
"Oh. How long."
"About a week."
I knew he could see the disappointed written all over my face and I couldn't hide it.
"But I was wondering if you'd like to join me. It be a nice vacation. My work is putting me up in this beautiful resort. The room they've booked me is huge and I don't want to spend time in there alone."
There he went again shocking me.
"I'd love to. But I don't know if I can get off of work, and what about grandma. She's not in the best shape."
"I'm sure your boss will be ok. You've been working there for over a month and haven't taken a single day off yet. Gran will be ok. She has an aide now that'll take care of her. We can speak to Jessica and see if she'd like to pick up some extra shifts to help her while you're gone."
I thought it over. He was right. My boss had told me that if I needed time off she wouldn't have a problem with it. She was so grateful for all of the hardwork I had put in. I just didn't know if a whole week would be ok. Grandma would be fine with Jessica there so I shouldn't worry so much about her.
"Ok. I'll talk to my boss tomorrow first thing in the morning and Jessica when I come home tonight."
He smiled brightly and then we were back to making out.

The way he kissed me sent feelings through my body. Feelings that made me crave him. We had been seeing each other for several weeks now and I wanted to take our relationship to the next level. I could feel he wanted the same thing.

Without a single word we both got out of the hot tub and headed inside to his bedroom. We sat on his bed not caring if we were soaking the blankets. He began kissing me again this time with a lot more passion.
He grabbed my hand and placed it on top of his bulge. He manuvered my hand over him rubbing his hardness.
Before I knew it our clothes were off and lying on the floor next to the bed.

Damen laid me back and wrapped my legs around him. While caressing my boob he slowly entered me. I bit on my finger to prevent myself from gasping.
Yes I was a virgin. I had never wanted to give myself fully to any guy before I had meet Damen.
He grinned as he felt the tightness. He knew from the way I felt that I was a virgin. We stared into each others eyes as he began moving slowly.
At first it was painful. But it didn't take long before the pleasure consumed me. My mind was filled with bliss. We were lost in ecstasy together.

Chapter 8

Damen got a few of his friends and they installed an elevator for my grandma. We realized it'd be too much work to add a room downstairs so we came to this solution.
I was shocked that it only took them one day to complete it. They worked quickly together.

I pulled all of the furniture and decorations out of the bathroom and my bedroom. Then I striped the walls from both rooms and the carpet from my bedroom. The new furniture would arrive in three days and I wanted to have the rooms painted and new carpet in my room and tile in the bathroom.

Damen spent alot of time at our house. He helped me with a lot of things. Like cooking, cleaning, and prepping my room and the bathroom. He was my savior no doubt about it. Our relationship grew stronger. I began to feel the first sparks of love. I care about him deeply and I could see he did too about me.
Grandma still wasn't happy about being in a wheelchair. She hated feeling so helpless. I understood why she felt that way. For so many years she used to be the one doing the household duties and cooking. Now she couldn't do much of anything and it bother her deeply.

Damen began working on the plumbing. We were removing the old sink, bathtub, and toilet, and replacing them with newer models. He replaced one item at a time so that we were still able to bathe and use the restroom. It only took him two days to put the new plumping in. I was so proud of his work.

In my spare time I worked on painting the rooms. I found that I actually enjoyed painting. Sure it didn't take much skill to paint a room but from what Damen said I actually had some talent. Maybe when and if I went back to school I'd take a painting class to see just how much skill I really had.

I finally had a decent amount of money saved atleast enough for a down payment. Damen took me to a car lot. A friends brother owned it and he guranteed I'd get the best deal. When we arrived the dealer greated Damen and he explained I was looking for a car. He introduced us. His name was Micheal.
"Nice to meet you Scarlet. Is there anything in particular you are looking for?"
"I want something small. Not too small. Something reliable and safe. This will be my first car ever."
He smiled brightly the way people do when they're trying to sell you something.
"Ok follow me. We have a couple of cars here that would be perfect."

"We have this 4 door Ford Fiesta. Only 25,000 miles. Perfect condition. Previous owner was an elderly lady that hardly drove it. Smoke free. Receipts have been kept for all of the tune-ups."
I like the car. Just wasn't happy about it being white. I've seen how dirty cars can get and the white ones look the worse.

"Here we have a Toyota Prius. We actually just got this car yesterday. It's a very nice one. 20,000 miles. The previous owner was a mother to two. Very safe and reliable. Smoke free. And receipts for the tune-ups."
Damen asked if we could take a looked at the inside of both cars. Micheal handed us the keys and headed inside. "Let me know when you've made up your mind."
I sat in both cars and even turned them on to get a feel of how the car felt. They were both really nice but I was leaning more towards the Toyota. Mainly because it was black but I also like the interior better and it had an awesome stereo system that had a gps built into it. This being my first car I wasn't use to driving around. Hadn't really needed to pay attention to where I was going and it was probable that I would get lost.

We headed inside and sat at Micheal's desk.
"I've decided to go with the Toyota."
"Very good choice. Ok we will need to sign a lot of papers and then I'll get you out of here in your new car."
When he said a lot of papers he meant. There was a stack about an inch high that I had to sign. I was approved for a loan with the deposit I had. I was able to put down ten percent and I guess that was a good thing. Apparently most places required a down payment unless you had really good credit. Being just out of high school I hadn't had time to build credit. This would surely help.
After about an hour of going through paperwork and signing paper after paper I was handed my car keys.
Micheal shook my hand and congradulated me.

For the first time I got to drive myself home. It felt great having a car to myself. Now I didn't have to rely on public transportation or anyone else to get me to and from anywhere I needed to go. It was a great feeling. I felt accomplished.
I still thought about my parents alot but the tears came few and far between. I missed them like crazy and was able to get past the horrible loss. Not exactly get past I don't think anyone ever gets past losing someone close to them, but able to cope. I was distracted with taking care of my grandma and Damen was a nice distraction too. Our relationship seemed to grow stronger with each passing day.
Grandma was doing better. Her therapy wasn't helping and the Doctor ordered her to stay in the wheelchair. He was afraid she would completely lose the function in her legs. It wasn't from the fall she hadn't badly injured them. But it was from her age. Her legs where to unstable to support her.
Apparently she had been having some trouble since before I came to live with her.
I don't know why she didn't tell me. I guess she didn't want me to worry about her after losing my parents. Still I wish I would have known.

After about a weeks worth of work my bedroom and the bathroom were completed. I was pretty proud of my work. Maybe I had a future in home remodeling. I still wasn't a hundred percent sure what I wanted to. But I had decided I was going to go back to college. I had an appointment set up with and advisor. Hopefully I could make up my mind when I spoke to her.
