Don't toy with me: sexiest man of the year

PROPOSAL



PROPOSAL

Angela's heart raced as she heard a knock on the door. She had just woken up minutes ago, bored and forcing herself to eat the fruit salad the maids left on the table for her. She kept thinking of Damon. It's night already and she is yet to set her eyes on him. He said he will be back for her, but maybe it's just something men say after sleeping with women. I don't know much about men so maybe this is one of their ways, maybe I was deceived into thinking that he will come back to me and maybe start something new, Angela thought. She took a deep breath and smoothed down her dress before calling out. "Come in." The door opened and a maid entered, bowing her head. "The young master, Damon, has requested your presence, my lady," she said. Angela's eyes widened in confusion. “Da..Damon?” “Yes, my lady,” the maid replied. Angela gulped hard. Finally! I thought he wanted just a one night stand but I guess I was wrong. Her heart was full of excitement and joy. “Really?!” She jumped out of the bed, realizing she was being too excited to see her soon to be brother-in-law, so she decided to compose herself. The maid's face was enough warning for her to snap out of it. "Do you wish for me to accompany you to his mansion, my lady?" the maid asked politely. "No, thank you. I can find my way." Angela smiled. The maid curtsied and left, closing the door behind her. Angela took another deep breath and made her way to her own room. Getting to her own room, she took her little makeup kits for touch ups, and applied lip gloss. Her hair was a mess. She got her mousse and combed it out. She glanced at her mirror reflection after her final touch up. “I hope I am not being too obvious.” She sighed and with her heart pounding in her chest as she approached her door. She knew that this meeting could change everything, this is the time to know what their next step would be. It is a good sign that he wants to see her after everything that happened. Slowly, she opened her door, glancing left and right to make sure there was no sign of an over 6ft tall, green-eyed monster coming her way. She quickly rushed out of Antonio's mansion and walked nervously into Damon's. This will be her first time stepping a foot into Damon's. She noticed the maids were dressed differently and also the guards from the ones in Antonio's mansion. They bowed at the sight of her immediately. Angela waved awkwardly and kept walking, unsure of her direction, the big hallway was so dry and empty. She wondered why they all have big mansions each, just to live alone with servants. Then she saw a maid approaching her with a broad smile. “My lady, young master Damon asked me to accompany you to his master room.” Angela's heart raced and her face stained pink. “Oh..okay.” She replied nervously. Is it safe to go straight into his room though? I thought we would meet in the living room or something like that. Not that I don't want to but what if his siblings find out, what if Antonio finds out? Angela thought. “We are here my lady.” The maid cuts into her thoughts. Angela found a royal designed twin door in front of them, it was just like Antonio's. “Thanks.” She replied to the maid, who bowed and left. Once she was alone in front of the door, Angela felt her heart racing uncontrollably, her palms wet. Why am I so nervous? She thought and clenched her fists tightly. She raised her fist with a deep breath and knocked on the door. "Come in." Damon's voice answered. Her heart skipped with excitement. She sighed in relief and turned the knob, entering the room. Damon was standing at the open balcony, looking out at the night sky. He turned and smiled softly when he saw her. Angela smiled in tears and rushed to him, she threw her arms around him. Damon was surprised she got over their little grudge quickly. “Oh Damon, I was scared..I was so scared you don't want to see me again.” She sobbed into his chest. Damon held her close to him, his large hand covering her head. “Can we start over, let's forget everything that happened before this very minute.” Damon replied huskily. Angela stood frozen, unsure of what to say. She had not expected this. How can he say that like last night meant nothing to him? It was her first time and they both shared it. How could he say they should throw away such memories and start over from this minute? She pulled out of the hug and looked up to meet his eyes. "What do you mean?" she asked, finally finding her voice. "Start over?" Damon nodded. "I told Antonio about my feelings for you.” Her eyes widened. “You did?” Damon smiled and nodded. “Did he hurt you?” She said anxiously checking him out. “Why would he? He is just a kid don't make it look like I am weak or something” He laughed. “I didn't mean to call you weak”. She said sadly. Damon lifted her jaw with his pinch gingers. “I am glad you are worried about me”. His smile was the brightest. Angela smiled. “So he..is.. is okay with it? Us being together?” She asked in excitement. Damon shrugged. “I won't say he is totally fine with it, because of Grandma's condition but I will have everything under control”. He caressed her hair, and stroked her lips. “Did you put on make-up for me? '' He smiled at her. Angela avoided his eyes shyly. That made him smile even more, then his face suddenly turned serious and mature. “Angela..?” Angela looked up. “Will you please date me Angela?” Her eyes widened..her heart was pounding. This is what she wanted right but she didn't expect it to be this fast! “Huh?” Angela replied, still processing. “Please be my girlfriend Angela”. Damon said this time he kissed the back of her hand. Angela smiled in tears, she hugged him. “I am so happy you asked! Yes! yes..yes.yes.I will date you”. “I love you Angela”. Damon confessed and hugged her more tightly. Angela smiled as tears kept flowing down her face. “I..I love you more Damon”. She sobbed. Now it's all over there's nothing holding her back from telling Damon her deal with Antonio, he can help her get out of his leash. “Cry baby”. Damon laughed. “Don't tease me”. Angela snapped at him with a frown and laughed too. She opened her eyes staring at the starlights shining in the sky from the balcony. She thought of what he said about forgetting everything that happened, and felt a bit sad about it. What if she brings it up? “Damon?” She pulled away slowly. Damon gazes down at her curiosity. “Is there any problem?”
