……
The place was silent as everyone slowly took in what just happened, and even though levanna knew little about what had transpired between her dad and the man that just left,
She was the most embarrassed.
"Sooo…. Um, Hi dad" she said feeling nervous as she walked timidly to her dad.
She always felt a little nervous around him.
It wasn't supposed to be this way, but ever since she lost her mother he turned distant.
Sigh
"Levanna, first of all, I'm not even going to ask you why you didn't make it to the important meeting earlier today or why you look so unlike yourself right now," Mr vale said in one breath
He took a deep breath and held his forehead as if suddenly exhausted before continuing
"But what I will ask you- or rather what I want to know is, what did that-that Damien mean just now when he said I should smell 'How excited you are'??"Mr vale asked as if he was disgusted
Oh so his name is Damien
"Dad, I'm sorry but I also don't know what he meant by that either and who was he anyway?" levanna said looking down at herself and suddenly feeling self-conscious of how she looked-
She rushed over here so fast that she forgot to even glance at her appearance
"It better be that way, whatever he meant I hope for your sake it was a misunderstanding," Mr vale said not answering her last question, looking as cold as ever to levanna
She didn't have the right to speak up right now, not in front of his men here. Her dad was obviously mad at her and something had gotten him worked up even more
And she had a feeling what or rather Who that something was but she didn't bother to say anything more
"And also you will promise me that wherever you see that man and anyone with him, you'll have nothing and I mean nothing to do with him"
"Dad I don't even know him" she scoffed
"Levanna" Mr vale said sternly
"…Fine, I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick," she said taking a quick glance around the restaurant VIP room which wasn't open to just anyone and it made her wonder even more just who that man was.
She sighted at her best friend Stace, who was seated at the corner looking concerned for her.
She could tell what she was thinking
Stace was silently asking if she should follow her to the bathroom
But she shook her head no and smiled a little at her
Before turning and heading to the bathroom
She'd been here a couple of times so she already knew where the bathroom was.
Her phone buzzed and she tried to bring it out of her bag
She did that absentmindedly and wasn't looking where she was going and then
She bumped into a wall
"Ow… since when was there a wall here" she winced as she touched the wall with her face still bent down
Levanna moved her hands as she felt the wall that she just bumped into and strangely this wall had clothes on
And smelt heavily like the forest dews and expensive cologne
Huh
"Wait, why does a wall have clothes on and smell so good" she said as she slowly lifted her face up
Oh
"Because it's not a wall princess"
Levanna took a step back and gasped as she shivered slightly at the tone of his voice.
It was so deep
And he was so tall
She looked at his structured face as she took in his appearance completely
He was a man that looked like he was created by the Greek gods themselves
In fact, he looked like he was one himself
Levanna albeit unknowingly checked him out
Meanwhile, Damien just stood there and smirked knowingly
He had an inkling of what she was going through her mind.
"Ahem" Damien cleared his throat
And that snapped levanna out of whatever fantasy she making up in her mind
Levanna looked up and realized he had just seen her shamelessly checking him out
"Oh um….sorry, I thought you were a wall, it actually felt like a wall, L-like well built and so strong and- I'm going to stop talking now" she said realizing she was going off point and embarrassing herself even more
Damien chuckled
"It's fine princess, I get that a lot trust me," He said and winked at her
Ugh he's so cute
No.
Levanna focus
"Don't call me that"
"Call you what princess?"
"That. I am not a princess" she said huffing
"Hmmm…could have fooled me," Damien said flashing her a little smirk
She blushed
"What do you mean" she said feigning ignorance even though she was beet-red
Why was she blushing so easily
Maybe it was because of the way he towered over her so easily
Or the way he so naturally oozes s****l aura
But he was affecting her in ways she had never been affected before.
"What I mean is whats a beautiful girl like you doing all alone in a fancy restaurant like this?… where's your boyfriend" Damien asked
"I don't have a boyfriend- why am I even telling you this? I don't even know you" Levanna said stating the obvious and omitting out the part where she was told to stay away from him.
"I have a feeling that's about to change pretty soon princess," Damien said maintaining his calm smirk
"What?"
"My apologies princess, I forgot to introduce myself I guess I was distracted by your beauty," Damien said taking levanna's hand gently and placing a kiss on it.
Levanna felt the hairs on her body stand as she felt warm from the place he kissed her down to her legs.
Was this normal?
Damien looked at her through his eyebrows before dropping her hand down.
"My name is Damien Jones"
Okay…but she already knew that.
"Hmm…what were you doing in there with my Dad" levanna asked trying to forget the fact that he actually just kissed her hand.
She completely forgot she was supposed to go to the bathroom and that she had a dinner discussion to go back to.
"Oh… that was nothing princess, Your father, Mr vale should be the one to tell you about that," Damien said as his smirk faltered a little.
"Tell me what?" levanna asked sensing a little discomfort from Damien.
Hmmm
"Nothing princess and I've introduced myself but I still don't know your name or should I keep calling you princess, I'm fine either way," Damien said smoothly dismissing levanna's question
" Hmm… why should I tell you my name just because you told me yours," levanna said
Damien smirked again
"Courtesy?, maybe I just want to get to know you more hm?" Damien said walking closer to her
"What if I don't want you to get to know me hm?" levanna counter said
"Ouch," Damien said behaving as though he was truly hurt by placing his hands on top of his heart
Levanna chuckled.
He seemed quite okay
Her Dad was always pretty professional and even though he was among the top society he had always been very good with people and quite nice.
He didn't get angry or disliked someone easily
Not to mention hatred or disgust.
The only reason he would ever behave like that or vehemently warn her to stay away from someone like that was only if…..
Levanna suddenly gasped as she looked up at Damien before realizing
The only reason her dad would behave like that was if the person was a
Werewolf.
